When they first arrived in Tokyo. Barbara was able to at- tend the American School there for six weeks. This school had 750 pupils of 33 different na- tionalities. In July the whole family spent two weeks at a summer resort in the Hakoni district. They found the Jap- anese trains more modern than anything here. with attractive stewardesses who served tea, and music piped in. The resort had many fabulous and very modern hotels and five different types of health baths were available. By what for Mrs. Rice could have only been a happy coinci- dence, housekeeping accommoda- tion was unavailable when they arrived in Tokyo, as apartments were' available only on a one year lease, at $400 per month, and they had, therefore to make do with hotel service. Their hotel, in downtown Tokyo, was set in sixteen acres of formal Japanese gardens, and their three-room suite had slidingJapanese walls between the rooms. Tokyo itself was confusing and hectic. The notorious taxicabs were quite frightening and didn’t even slow down for pedestrians. even those crossing with the lights. The city itself. while beau- tiful 8: with many modern build- ings. was more than a little mal~ odorous. They visited seven or eight department stores. seven or eight stories high (eight floors ‘For the next six months they enjoyed the finest that Tokyo had to offer, lived in a hotel which had formerly been a Prin- ce's palace and dined nightly at the famous Imperial Hotel, known the world over for its fine cuisine.

They are fed, among other things. four quarts of beer a day, and their legs are massag- ed daily to break down the ten- dons and ensure tenderness. The meat is sold from $2.00 per pound up. The Rices reached Tokyo at 8 am. and from the air were treated by an incomparable view of Mount Fuji, a truly beauti- ful sight which is often obscured by clouds when viewed from the ground. 7 (by Margaret McLean) Although she has been home for a couple of months, Mrs. J. R. Rice, of 4 Thornridge Drive is just now becom- ing fully adjusted to the fact. The family, including daugh- ter Barbara, left Thornhill last April and flew by Pan-Am- erican Jet to Tokyo, via San Francisco and Honolulu. What with losing a whole day on the way ( and having two Mon- days on the way back) Mrs. Rice is not quite sure just how ong the trip took, but the flight from Honolulu to Tokyo took nine hours. The Pan-American jets are the most luxurious planes in the air and the passengers are able to move about at will and spend time in the glass-bottomed observation room. Their enthusiasm for flying was some- what dimmed, however, by a demonstration of how to use the life rafts, as soon as they boarded the plane. In spite of this however, the flight was quite uneventful and very smooth, with no sensation of motion. 4 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, February 9. 1961 J. N. M ulholland.

They spent eight days in Honolulu and after the unpleasant smells of Tokyo. appreciated very much the moist and balmy atmosphere there, with the prevailing scent of flowering trees. While they found Honolulu very much com- mercialized and American. it was very beautiful. particularly the wonderful beaches. They had din- ner at the Moana Hotel from where the famous radio program “Hawaii Calls" is broadcast, at Waikiki Beach. They ate in the Banyan Court under a huge Ban- yan tree. 0n the trip home thry were again surfeited with the rich food proi'ided on boat and plane and were happy to settle down to some good old plain‘ cooking. ' I Mrs. Rice feels that we of the West can learn' much from the Japanese. She pointed out that almost their sole resource is their people and that they must export or starve and that they import forty per cent of their wheat from Canada. Mr. and Mrs. Rice were enter- tained in several Japanese homes during their stay and found them very interesting. These homes would usually be on a centre hall plan, with three or four bed- rooms, and be furnished some rooms in western style, and some in Japanese style. Mrs. Rice and Barbara enjoyed very much the Japanese Tea ceremony and Mrs. Rice took a short course in Japanese flower arranging. She also taught a se- ven-year old Japanese boy Eng- lish twice a week, taking him through three Pre-School Prim- ers and rounding up a teacher to take over the lessons when she left. In Japan.

" Mr. Rice was in Japan for In- ternational Business Machines and Mrs. Rice and Barbara vis- ited the IBM. plant in Tokyo. It is a large, well-lit, modern plant with 1,200 employees. Un- like most Japanese factories. which work seven days a week, the IBM. plant is on a five-day week. When asked what impressed her most about Japan, Mrs. Rice replied, without hesitation, “The children.” She found them ador- able, quiet and well behaved. All the time she was in Japan she never saw a child dirty. nor saw one in a temper-tantrum. The school children walked to school in their uniforms, hand in hand and she never saw any of them fighting. The babies ride on their mothers’ back and go to sleep there when tired. While the majovty of Japanese wear Western-style dress during business hours. the women .wear their lovely Japanese kimonas during the evening almost exclus- ively. When she left Tokyo. Mrs. Rice was presented with a beau- tiful hand-made silk Kyota ki- mona by the father of her Japan- ese pupil. Although Japanese can live quite comfortably on‘ 40 to 60 yen per day, western style living in Tokyo is quite expensive. Liv- ing accomodation at the better hotels is $10 to $15.00 per day and a simple lunch of sandwich. dessert and coffee costs $2.00 at the Imperial Hotel, with din- nerh at night $3.00 to $4.00 eac . Mr. Rice was, of course en- tertained at a Geisha party, where the cultured and talented Geisha girls entertained with songs and music. This is quite an expensive form of entertainment as the Geishas are paid 1,000 yen pelj hour, pr about $2.76. The theatres in Tokyo were particularly fascinating. One, the Kabuki Theatre seats 3,000 peo- ple. The ancient Japanese dramas last for five hours. Other thea- tres are just as wonderful - some can have as many as 300 show girls on their enormous stages at one time. being the highest allowed because of earthquakes) and found them very attractive, with modern es- calators.

Evans Of Ingersoll Then again I sense that other people have windows as their silent companions. When there are parades to watch or unusual happenings, faces appear at the win- dows. Hospital patients and shut-ins observe the chang- ing weather from the confines of their rooms. Perhaps there are Windows, upon a quiet evening during the twi‘ light, from which venerable faces peer out complacently at the drama before them, just enjoying the cool air or perhaps searching for the stars that will soon stud the velvet blackness. It is not I alone who know the window to be a magic thing. The children spent much time dreaming there, Visioning far off places and wondering always about the adventures that must surely lie beyond; if the win- dow was sometimes their passport to joy, it has also been their prison bar. for there were times they looked out of them dejectedly and resentfully when they were confined to the house against their will. Whenever Jack Frost painted the windows with his beautiful patterns, the children tried to break through to the other side by warming pennies in their hands and making little round peep holes on the frosty panes; Spring, summer, fall or winter, the window con- stantly enframes the seasonal landscapes. Windows bring beauty into every room in the house. One of them serves as my observation post, as I wait for the sound of a dear one coming home from school or work. A window is a wonderful thing,, a place to watch the sun rise and the sun set and “a place to dream. There were dreary days when a chair by the window beCame a ‘mourning seat and I sat alone with my cares and troubles, heart heavy, listening to the steady beat of the rain outside. The mood matched my own, yet in the steady drip, drip of the rain was the sound of peace. When the‘morning sun streamed through the panes of the kitchen window. I closed my eyes and let the sun spread its beneficent l‘ays over my face. A corres- ponding warmth suffused my being. There were times during the lulls in my work, I stood, half-hidden by the curtains of my living-room window, gazing at the passing scene, feeling remote and detached from life as if I were merely an observer placed outside of time and space. « I thought of those countless other windows when I walked through the night guided by the friendly glow that emanated from them. It was always a great com- fort to know that I was not alone and that life was all aboutrme. by Elizabeth Kelson The day I cleaned my windows is one day that I’ll remember. Up until then. I took windows for granted. I washed and polished them many times without ac- quiring a single thought about them except to be’ thank- ful when the chore was done. This particular day, as I cleaned the dull film away/and polished the glass until it shone, I became aware that windows could be a bridge underneath which my thoughts flowed.

The Director of the Umtali Teacher Training School in Sou- thern Rhodesia advised that they are building a library for the teachers' leisure hours, and also hope to establish small branch libraries. They would welcome any classics of the English lang- uage, all types of reference books and indeed, "any sort of wholesome literature." Now there's a wide open field for you. If you have had youngsters in high school at some time in the past. you probably have copies of Dickens and Shakespeare tucked away in cupboards. and no doubt several anthologies of English prose and poetry, any of which would be welcome. I found in my cupboards works by Mark Twain, Damon Runyan, William Faulkner all in paperbacks, but in good condition.

McLean Many residents of the Thorn- hill area have been busy these past weeks, ferretting out books to send to Africa. The campaign was sparked by Mrs. Colin R. Beale of 56 Arnold Avenue, who enlisted the Lions Club in sup- port of the project. Mrs. Beale whose parents have been doc- tors in Africa for the past ten years. lived for six years in Dur- ban, South Africa and for one year in Rhodesia and was thus personally familiar with the cry- ing need for education in these areas. Reading an article by Ad- lai Stevenson last year. about his recent trip to Africa, she not- ed his statement that books were badly needed and promptly got in touch with three institutions mentioned in the article. Each of the three organiza- tions Mrs. Beale contacted replied immediately and all expressed gratitude and pleasure that peo- ple so far away were concerned with their plight. ampatgn Thornhill Notes ign 30 fiOO/H‘ 3 Going a little farther a field are Mr. and Mrs. E.

Commissioner McTaggart-Cow- an announced to the meeting that it had been decided to split Thornhili into two districts. The supervision of some 300 girls, in 12 Companies, and 32 Guiders has become too big a job for one commissioner to handle. Mrs. McTaggart-Cowan was therefore very pleased to inform the group that Mrs. L. Jewltt, of 71 Wood- ward Avenue, presently Captain of the lst Thornhill Guides, had consented to be Thornhill South District Commissioner. Mrs. Jew- itt, a Gold Cord Guide, has been associated with guiding for many years and will have a lot to bring to the district. Although her company will no doubt feel the loss keenly, the district will gain immeasurably. ' World Day 0!

Well. I didn’t turn up many of these, but if you have been in the habit of purchasing texts for extra home- work in .bsay, spelling and arith. metic for your youngsters, you will probably have some of these around - and they could be use- ful. The Dezda Schoolr wbuld also appreciate classics and any re- cent worth-while fiction. physics, chemistry and world history. Now do I bless those squirrel-type characteristics whi- ch won’t let me throw anything away. especially books. I found textbooks in all these categories in my cupboards. Why I saved that Geometry textbook which gave me nightmares, I'll never know and in spite of the fact that probably twenty or thirty different texts on .the subject have been prescribed in Ontario during the same number of years, I’ll venture to state that the information they provided was much the same, as that im- parted by the older text. I also turned up no less than three Physics textbooks, and while none of them deal with. or even mention atomic physics. surely the properties of heat, light and sound which we were taught, are still basic to the understanding of more advanced work. Shut Rain, Snow or Hurricane, the Market is Open Last Friday’s snow storm made me wonder if bad weather ever prevented our farmer friends in the townships from bringing their produce to York Farmers Market, so I asked a few questions while shopping on Saturday morning. Mrs. Herbert Wideman, Markham. who specializes in capons, turkeys and eggs, and Mrs. Charles Seaton, King, who sells eggs, honey and canned chicken, both said they lived near highways, and had experienced no difficulty. “I don’t think I've missed a market day in 18 years.” said Mrs. Allan Reesor, Markham, who brings eggs, honey, and apple cider (in sea- son) to her stall, “but I’ve been delayed sometimes when the driving was poor.” George Sayers, Gormley, has a 40 year record of market going and his daughter. Miss Ruby, believes that he has missed only once due to the weather. That was a stormy day last winter when they got their truck, loaded with homemade bread, preserves and plants, out of their own driveway, only to find the highway blocked by drifting snow. “Aside from Hurricane Hazel time have you ever been unable to come to market?” I asked Cornelius Brouwer, one of the Holland Marsh vegetable growers who suffered losses from flooding. “No”, he said, “and we were at the market as usual on the'Saturday ot the hurricane. We packed the truck Friday afternoon and decided to make an early start. At a garage in Richvale we heard that the bridge at Thornhill had been washed out, so stayed over night in Richmond Hill and early next morning reached Thornhill by way of the Maple sideroad and Highway 401," Mr. Bert Palmer, Temper- ancevilie, is another who has not missed a market day in many years. On the Friday evening of the hurricane he was slicing meat at the market when his wife phoned & begged him to start for home. Unalarmed he finished his work, then found he could neither go. nor telephone. In the morning he drove up to King, met his very worried wife walking out to Yonge Street, and brought her to the market. But getting to market is not the whole story. One Saturday last winter market president Edward-Cladding and his family, and several other stall holders were storm bound and unable to get home. All of which goes to show that our farmers are determined not to disappoint their customers. YORK FARMERS MARKET Yonge & Elgin Sta.
