Tokyo Girl Visits in Wingham
Da i my Crafts Are Part of
Home Life for Japanese
The highlight of our week
came quite unexpectedly last
Friday when Boh Clark, of the
Dept. of Trade and Commerce,
Ottawa, called on us. Ele was
accompanied by a young wo-
man from Tokyo, Miss Akiko
Domoto.
Miss Domoto is in the TV
news department of Akasaka
Tokyo, and was in Wingham to
see CKNX radio and television
station, The privately -owned
Akasaka station employs 1,500
people. Miss Domoto covered
the Olympic Games and inter-
viewed the Canadians.
She is one of a party of 12
Japanese news representatives
on a three weeks' assignment
to Canada. In the 14 days she
had been here she had visited
eight cities, from Vancouver to
Montreal.
Her brief visit of only an
hour in our home was much too
short. However, with Miss Do-
moto's spontaneous friendliness
there was no time wasted in
getting acquainted. There were
many things we wanted to ask
our visitor about her own coun-
try but there was only time for
a few comparisons.
This was Miss Domoto's first
visit to a Canadian home. She
was naturally impressed most
by the size of lots in Wingham
and the fact that three and four
bedroom houses are quite com-
mon. With the vast population
and overcrowded cities in Ja-
pan the only expansion is up-
ward. Because of the possibility
of earthquakes even this is limi-
ted and their tallest buildings
are about six storeys. Families
live in very small quarters.
Miss Domoto mentioned
that their college entrance ex-
aminations are very rigid. The
great increase in population
after the war has resulted in a

vast number of students now
being ready for college, but
facilities are limited. Conse-
quently, it is difficult for these
young people to get the educa-
tion they desire.
An interesting factor about
school accommodation is that
in recent years school desks
have had to be enlarged. Before
the war rural people lived on
vegetables and rice and those
in the cities lived mainly on
rice and fish. Since that time
the diet has been improved by
the addition of bread and meat
and the children are growing
bigger.
Some of the older women
wear the. traditional kimona
continually. Others wear it for
part of the day. However, the
kimona is not very convenient
for the daily activities of work-
ing girls and younger people,

who prefer western dress. These
young women wear kimonas
only for formal occasions.
As Miss Domoto talked she
showed our daughters a common
pastime in Japan --that of fold-
ing paper into objects. She ex-
plained that children, in kin-
dergarten and at home, learn
this art and practise it much as
our children spend their time
with toys. As adults they con-
tinue to make these paper ob-
jects --flowers, birds, etc.,
each symbolic of an omen or
wish. A friend of a sick person
would fold hundreds of paper
cranes, string them together
and present them to be hung in
the sickroom as a get -well
wish.
We were sorry our guest had
so little time with us but she
was due back in Niagara Falls
that evening to join the other
members of the delegation.
Among the interesting places
in Western Ontario that Mr.
Clark had shown her that day
was the Douglas Point nuclear
power plant.

Belmore Personals
At last, we are thinking
that spring is here, although
last week, winter got in a last
lick! In the early hours of last
Monday morning, a real bliz-
zard raged, and April 1st must
have been meant for only the
fools, for it was like a typical
day in January.
All is not dismal, and if
spring cannot be found out-of-
doors, it can be seen indoors.
Mrs.John Harper, a patient in
Wingham and District Hospital,
received a beautiful bouquet of
daffodils, sent airmail on
March 10th by her cousin, Mrs.
Harold Martin in Victoria, B.
C. The flowers were picked
from the garden and are still
bringing Mrs. Harper much joy.
Word has been received that
Mr. Archie Ferguson of Lashburn,
Sask., husband of the former
Bertha Millhouse, passed away
at Lashburn on March 22. The
Millhouse family lived on the
town line north of Belmore and
attended Inglis' School until
they moved to Saskatchewan.
Bertha is the only surviving
member of the family.
A number of friends attend-
ed the funeral of Mrs.Jack Reid,
who passed away last week near
Hamilton, and whose funeral
was held in Wingham on Friday
Mrs. Reid was the former Mamie
McNeil, and at one time re-
sided in the village.
The sympathy of Belmore
friends is extended to Mrs. Ilerb
Burchill and family in their
Ioss,also to Mr. and Mrs. George
Nickel and family of Carrick
Township, Mr. Nickel is a
brother-in-law of the late Mr.
Burchill. Many from the com-

Miss Nancy Kerwin was guest
