OUR TRIP TO JAPAN
BY M. A. Swcndseid

We boarded a Northwest Air
lines constellation at the Seattle
Tacoma airport, August Is. After
stops in Anchorage and Shemya,
Alaska, we landed at the Tokyo
international Airport with twen-
ty-one and one-half hours flying
time behind us.
We returned by Pan-Ameri-
can Airlines, via Honolulu where
we spent two nights and a day.
We rode the Inflated Strato-Clip-
per from Tokyo to Honolulu, that
went down in the Pacific after
leaving Honolulu, midway be-
tween Honolulu and San Francis
co. After our stay in Honolulu,
we continued on to Seattle on a
d. c. z. On all these flights we
had good weather, fairly smooth
flying and a very hospitable crew
aboard at all times.
What about Japan? We saw
a very crowded and busy Japan.
Busy trying to feed a nation
living in an area about the size
of Montana, where only one quar-
ter of the land is arabic, in whose
cities and villages live some 90
million people and increasing by
one million or more each year.
Also, some of the cities we were
in e so TO $50 destroyed by
bombs during the war. Almost all
have been rebuilt.
Our son, Douglas lives in Tokyo
so we spent a good deal of our
time there. We did travel over
1900 miles on Japan's railroads,
so saw quite a little country out
side Tokyo. But first let's talk
about that city. 1t has a popula-
ton of approximately 8A mil
lion people and covers an area of
1923 SO. miles. There are 3 killed
and 40 injured in traffic accidents
every "a hours. In spite of that
they have a natural increase of
birthrate over death of 100, 900
annually, also some 5000 900 more
moving in from other areas, SO in
a very few years Tokyo expects
to be the largest city in the
world. This is the city where east
and west, old and new blend
together. You can go down the
street anytime and see the an
cient way of transportation
along side the modern, a woman
with a small child strapped to
her back, a good sized 2 wheel
wagon loaded with anything from
waste to art, drawn by an OK,

MIR. and Mrs. M. A. Swendseid
returned this week from a near

than two months of which they
spent in Japan, 1.-THE Land of the
Rising Sum-" about which they
have given The Herald the fol-
lowing interesting report. Mrs.
Swendseid left Sidney August /
for Seattle, where Mr. Swendseid,
leaving Sidney August IL, joined
her at the home of their son-in-
law and daughter, MI. and Mrs.
Harry Leroy, where they Wis
tied until August 18th. On that
date they boarded the same
strato-clipper that later went
down in mid-Pacific on a return
flight from Japan with all on
board saved by surface craft that
sped to the rescue. In Japan they
spent about two months with their
son and daughter-in-law, Rev. and
Mrs. Douglas Swendseid and two
daughters, one of whom, born
in Japan, the grandparents had
not seen before. Rev. Swendseid,
ordained to the ministry at the

Billings Man
Speaks For
Leroy Anderson

ITO term $4,000, 100000 for the
Yellowtail Dam Site as unrealis-
tic is the most WORCESTERSHIRE
statement to come out of this
campaign" said Willard E. Fraser
in Sidney at a Democratic Rally
Saturday evening.
Fraser continued, 1.-THE govern
ment is not offering to buy this
land to grow potatoes, DIT wheat,
for obviously it is totally I'M
suitable for agricultural purposes
of any kind. Rather, the site was
being sought to erect a power
and irrigation dam, and such
sites are rare indeed.
From any businessman's point
of view, the value of a plot of
land depends entirely upon the
purpose to which that land will
be put. For instance, the Mid
land Bank of Billings paid $780,
10000 (Court House Records
show for four twenty-five foot
lots, upon which they built a new
bank building. Now this would
have been an unreasonable and
outrageous price, had they intend
ed to grow potatoes on that plot
of ground, but such was not their
purpose. So it is with the Yellow
tail Dam Site. The value depends
upon the use for which the land
is intended, and to pay $5,000,-
10000 for the land upon which
a $100, 900, 100000 structure is to
be erected is not out of line at
all, but entirely within the realm
Of good and accepted business
practices"
Fraser stated that Leroy Ander-
son would vote for and support
the Yellowtail dam and help
Montana gain from this project.

cruising all over the city. You
don't have to wait over five min
utes before one comes along
These various methods of trans
portation will take you most any
place in the city; but we r go-
ing shopping in western fashion
down on Gina ST., the Holly
wood and Vine of Tokyo, where
there are plenty of 9-story de-
partment stores and office build
ings. All of these are modern and
of concrete and steel construction.
In contrast to these, they have
the open shops all throughout
the residential areas. These shops
open into the street and T a
very drab and unkempt place as
a rule, each shop being a de-
partment by itself, and within
a five minute walk from almost
any place you may live in the
city. Everything except super
markets.
Well roughly this is Tokyo, the
capital of Japan, which is cele-
brating its 500th anniversary this
year. Where there were 100000
homes and separate buildings,
destroyed during the war and
the population down to 3 million,
it has now nearly completely
recovered with a population of
nearly 21z times that figure.
We also toured other cities,
large and small and visited a few
of their $4,000 shrines and tenn
Piles. One of these towns was
Toba where a short distance away
is the famous "Mikimoto" Pearl
Island. Here you may e the
process of pearl culture to the
manufacturing of the pearl neck
lace itself. We saw some of their
ancient cities W 1000 years old.
One of these is Kyoto, once the
capital of Japan, where the old
Palace grounds are located and
the Emperor lived until 1868,
when the Emperor vas moved to
Tokyo where the palace grounds
r now located.
Also travelling down the coast
from Tokyo or any direction for
that matter, you pass through the
very picturesque countryside with
its rice paddles, truck gardens
and various kinds of fruit trees.
On one side is the ocean and on
the other the heavily wooded
most of them low, only
a few thousand feet high This is
where nature and man has done a
wonderful job with the soil, some
of which has been cultivated for
centuries and there is no such
thing as erosion. 1t was soil con-
servation at its best.
Yes, this is a small part of ia

as we saw it. Where they
have 80 or more inches of rain
annually and believe me a lot of
that well while we there.
Where the medium of exchange

1t was an interesting two
months, but gave you a sort of
new lease on life when you got
some of that crisp, folding money
pack in the billfold.
In Honolulu, where we took
,ne of the many tours of the
sland, we saw the sugar cane
and pineapple plantations besides
several other places of interest
After spending one week with
