Bowling RoII-Of This Sunday

Burton's women bowlers swept
three out of four contests from
a favored Boyer and Hairgrove
team last week to force a roll-off
series this Sunday to determine
the 1957-58 league champion in
the Monday Night Early Rollers
division. The victory broke the
deadlock which had existed be-
tween the two entries at the
close of the season for first place,
and established Burton's as the
second-half winner. The roll-off
with Boyer and Hairgrove, first
half victor, to determine the sea-
son champion will begin at 6 pm
this Sunday evening. The pub

Letter to the Editor

Last week began the Little
League activities for this year,
and approximately 16O boys were
given physical examinations for
the Little League baseball teams
This project is one of the most
constructive and rewarding activi-
ties the community has ever spon-
sored. Both children and adults
profit by the promotion of team
work, community spirit, and a
very healthy form of recreation.
With the opening of the season
it is sincerely hoped that the
adults who give so generously of
their time and efforts in coaching
these boys will remember that
Little League baseball involves
participation more so than COM
petition. 1t is a heart breaking
experience to watch a little boy
eight to twelve years old sit on
the bench the whole season and
hope that he will get to play
just once. Last year some of the
boys spent the season on the
bench despite the fact that they
never missed practice. This de-
feats the purpose of Little League
baseball, dampens the enthusiasm
of those boys for sports perhaps
for the rest of their lives and
most certainly does nothing to
promote the cause of good sports
manship and teamwork. Every
boy should have a chance who
wants to play and if he does his
best, should be respected for the
best he had to give. One learns
to do better by being given the
chance to do.
Spectators in great numbers
will be watching anxiously this
season to see how many boys are
really allowed to play in the Lit
tie League games. The sponsors
should insist that every boy be
given a chance. 1t doesn't matter
who wins. Little League baseball
is primarily to provide healthful,
constructive recreation for boys
and unless this end is achieved a
lot of money and effort is being
put to poor use. Good Sportsman
ship and General Participation
should be the slogan of Little
League baseball. If we do less we
are selling our boys short.

Customs Change

Until the last 10 years. there
was no such thing as dating
in Japan. For an unmarried.
teen-aged boy and girl to be
seen walking together in the
street would have been scam
dalously immoral, and any girl
who was known to have kissed
a man prior to marriage would
have been doomed to spinster-
hood. Both of these former
crimes are common occur
rences today.
Most marriages formerly were
arranged by the participants
families, and few grooms would
ever have spoken to their wives
until the wedding ceremony.
Arranged marriages are be-
coming increasingly infrequent
in Japan.
Even after marriage, the wife
would bow deeply from the
waist each time she met her
husband in public, and when
walking together. she had to
follow three PAGES to the rear.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-03-16

Any public display Of affection
such as kissing between mar
ried couyies would have been
considered incredibly bad taste.
People were very religious. and
the Buddhist faith was coupled
with a strong dose Of ancestor
worship.
Today things are very differ
ent, and both Buddhism and
ancestor worship are unpopular
with the young. Japanese teen
ayers look and act much like
their American counterparts,
but there are differences.
For instance, when out on
q date a Japanese teen-ager
would not think of opening a
door or stepping aside to let
his girl enter q room first. 1t
is just not done. though he
would formally bow to her
parents when he went to pick
her up. for in many ways.
though not to their women.
the japanese are the politest
race in the world.
So the Americanization Of
teen-age Japan is not complete
especially in the more re-
mote rural areas-but there is
little question that the habits,
culture and tastes Of Ameri-
can teen-agers are having a
profound effect on their equiv
alents in Japan.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-03-16

A recent story relates that q

Not long ago we disparaged
slightly the adventurous spirit
Of American youth on the basis
Of our finding that only few
youngsters want any part Of
pioneering q trip to the moon.
But there Is another side to
the coin.
Questioning several hundred
youths, we md that more than
one in four Of the boys would
like to be an Air Force pilot.
Granted that plotting an air
fighter, however hazardous it
might be, Is much less of an
unknown quantity than taking
10 space trip. the fact remains
that . IS per cent vote for such
q service seems high.
It bears out what an Air
Force olilcer told me recently
that the service has plenty Of
pilot volunteers, although it
needs more technicians to keep
the service ships flying.

TEENS m OTHER LANDS
japanese Teen-Agers
Follow u. S. Customs

Wayne, Burt Lancaster. Doris
Day and Jean Simmons are
other favorites.
Westerns are shown on the
japanese TV stations. the only
change being that Wyatt carp.
the Lone Ranger and the rest
Of the cowhands speak fluent
japanese. This is done by dub
bling in Japanese voices. though
an expression such as stick
'em up" has achieved such uni
versal significance that no
translation is necessary.
AS for sports. japanese teen
ayers rival their American
counterparts. Baseball has been
popular in Japan for many
years, and recently q young
japanese team won the anna
teur baseball championship Of
the world. Every street has its
stickball games. and japanese
high schools play q caliber OF
ball comparable to American
teams. Once again the interna-
tional language of home rum"
strike three" and safe" ap-
plies.
Such Western sports as ski
ing. swimming, tennis. ice
hockey, soccer, golf, volleyball
and ping pong cat which the
Japanese are the best in the
world also are popular in high
schools. Judo and samurai
wrestling are examples Of Japa-
nese sports which would not be
found in America.
This craze for American life
extends beyond music and
dress. Indeed, it is so far
reaching that the very roots
of the old japanese web society
have virtually been uprooted by
the last generation Of teen
ayers who have been deeply
influenced by the hundreds Of
thousands Of American soldiers
who have been stationed in
Japan since the end Of World
War II.
Now they avidly study the
American way Of doing things
socially, and have rejected and
are in open rebellion against
the customs of their ancestors.
And the ancestors don't like
it or American music or Amer
lean clothes one bit.
Prior to the end of World
War II. few people in Japan
wore Western dress. Sandals
and the kimona, . bathrobe-
like coat, were worn almost
exclusively. Today, few jap
