The action followed a report
from Assistant County Attorney

agricultural implements.

TULY IA marks the centennial of
I. Commodore Matthew Calbraith
Perry'S opening Of Japan to the West
an event being celebrated simultane-
ously in Japan and the United States.
In Japan, the Expedition of an
American Squadron to the China Seas
and Japan" is referred to as the BLACK
Ship Festival" because Perry arrived
in Yedo Tokyo Bay in four black ships
the steam frigates Susquehanna and
Mississippi and the sailing sloops Sara
toga and Plymouth. Models of these
ships are being built by the Navy
League, and one, the Saratoga, was
launched in the Tidal Basin in April.
The first Perry centennial observance
in the United States was in Norfolk,
Va. last fall to recall Perrys departure
from that port on November a., 1852
Ceremonies will continue. here and in
Japan, until next March 81, centenary
of the signing of the Kanagawa treaty,
the elimination of Perry's efforts to
open Japan to trade.
At the suggestion of Daniel Webster,
Perry was not trammeled with super
fluous or minute instructions" but was
allowed to write his own orders for the
expedition. So well did he succeed that
at the end of July IA, 1858, after the
Americans had received a friendly re-
ception from the japanese and had
returned to their ships, his interpreter,
DR.. A. Wells Williams, prophesied:
This date will be noted in the history
of Japan, one on which the key was
put into the lock and beginning
made to do away with the long seclu-
sion of the nation"
On July IA, the Post Office will issue
a commemorative stamp showing Perry
and his ships, with Mount F'uji in the
background. Postmaster General Sum-
merfield will present embossed albums
of the stamps to Ambassador Araki of
Japan, one to be sent to Prince Taxa
