Here Are American Food Which COegans from Japan Like

NEW YORK, N. Y. May 81 -
Americans have long known that
their abundance of food is a source
of amazement to visitors from other
countries. What most of us don't
know is how foreigners feel about
American dishes. once they sit down
o cat them.
4 recent poll taken among 300
students from Japan who are
studying i'm American colleges and
universities i'm 81 states, asked
frank questions about the hOt-dog.

usual opportunity to see our cult
nary selves as others see us.
First reaction Of the students. who
have experienced a war-economy

ions. was establishment at the law

rtudent to express his likes and dis

uncr1tical The survey. conducted b.
the Japan International Christian
University Foundation, revealed pro
and con opinions of everything from
hominy to ham, from scrapple to
squash.
The students were most critical
of American versions of japanese
staples, particularly those involv-
ing rice and fish. Rice is tradi-
tionally regarded as the sacred
gift of the gods. The utmost ritual
surrounds its preparation. The
well ordered japanese house con-
tains a clay range used solely for
the cooking of rice, and no other
food is cooked on this stove. Jap
anese rice is light and fluffy. as
distinguished from American-style
rice, which is often sOggy.
Fish. the prime source of protein
in the japanese diet. is generally
cut into bite-sized pieces, garnished
with vegetables. and served raw.
This may explain why many of the
japanese students feel that American
fish is cooked to death. None men
toned oysters and CLANS. the two
American sea-foods which are COM
monty served raw possibly because
hese de'icacies seldom appear on
campus tables.
Having tasted American style rice
and fish and found them wanting,
the Japanese students elaborated
further upon their likes and dislikes
with observations informative and
sometimes funny The hazards of
delivering opinions in a foreign Ian

Washington Grove, situated on
the metropolitan branch Of the B
& o, at one of the highest points
on that road between Harpers
Ferry and Washington, is a pretty
little town, with large old trees,
shady lawns, lovely flower beds and
quiet streets.
Under special Charter from the
Maryland State Assembly, the
town was in eXistance manv years
ago as a summer colony for the
Methodists of Washington who
lived in cottages or tents while at
tending the Camp meetings held
there. Many folk liked the climate
and surrounding so much that
gradually they came to live the year
around in the locality.
Thirteen years ago the town was
formally Incorporated and Irving
Leroy McCathran was elected
mayor. He has beer reelected
each year since. Under his leader
ship street lights have been INSTALL
ed, practically all streets paved,
trash and garbage service has been
established, with expenses for these
cared for in the budget. The town
owns all public buildings and an
athletic field which runs nearly the

Council Passes Library Bill;
Many Other Measures Voted
Library Bill Is Bitterly Opposed By
Councilman Kelly; Juvenile Court
Measure Passed. Jail To Be frightened

The Montgomery County Council
this week adopted bill calling for
establishment of countrywide sys-
TEN of libraries, despite bitter
attack on the legislation by Coun-
Gilman Thomas c. Kelley, Rock
vile attorney.
The vote was TO after Mr..
Kelley termed the bill "unrealistic
and unnecessary" His dissent con-
stituted one of the most vigorous
ever made before the council since
it took office 16 months ago. Vot-
ing with Mr.. Kelley against the
measure was Councilman Angus
tus r. Selby.
The new law provides for APP
pointment of county librarian
and a Library Board. The lfbrar-
ian will supervise development of
the countrywide plan.
Special provisions were aimed at
Bethesda and Takoma Park. The
Bethesda amendment gives that
community the option of joining
the system. If and when it does
so, the existing 9-cent library tax
there will be repealed and the
Bethesda library tax will be on a
sliding scale, with adjustments for
county and suburban rates. This
means the Bethesda tax will never
exceed the present Scent per 500
rate.
Takoma Park, if it does not Join
the county system, would pay the
county the regular library tax but
the money would be refunded to
the city, which lies partly in Prince
Georges County. If it elects to join
the county plan, it would pay the
county the same amount that would
be raised by library tax on city;
residents living In the Prince
Georges County side.
While complimenting Mrs. Doro-
thy ~Himstead, sponsor of the bill,
for her tart" in drafting the COM
plicating bill, Mr.. Kelley said her
"art" has become artificial. "The
bill is contrary to good govern
mcnt," he stated. 1--WE are asked to
set up a system under the control
of people not elected by the voters
and not responsible to this council.
The system depends on their
whims. mot one person has asked
for this law except people connect
ed with existing Libraries or the
schools. 1t is not realistic and not
necessary"
A bill was passed providing for
a magistrate for juvenile cases,
but eliminated a provision calling
for a $4,000 annual salary for
such position. AS passed, the
bill gives the present part-time
Juvenile Court judge jurisdiction
to determine custody and parental
rights. 1t also provides for stag
gered terms for the Juvenile Court
Committee.
The Council also enacted in law
on Tuesday, bills prohibiting OBJ
scene or threatening language on
the telephone; authorizing the
county to remove traffic hazards at

Qnce-A-Day
Mail Delivery
Begins Today

Beginning this morning, door-to-
door postal delivery in the town
of Gaithersburg will be cut to once
each day, according to the post
master, C.. German Griffith. This
change is made necessary because
of the failure of Congress to ap-
propriate enough money to enable
the Post Office Department to meet
current expenses in 1850.
This change will mean that the
north side of Gaithersburg will
have only morning delivery. On
east Diamond avenue and south of
the B 81 tracks on Observatory
Heights, mail will be delivered in
the afternoon only.
No change is contemplated in the
parcel post delivery service.
Rockville Postmaster, Norman
Ward, announces that once day
delivery will go into effect in a
few days, announcement of which
will be made later.
