School Helps Olsters
Adjust to New Japan
By Kenneth ISHH

KODA; Japan Up = The woman
peered into the registrars office
at "Kotobuki University" and
asked if she could enroll.
Were happy to have you"
said Mataro Shiga, the schools
chief administrator ''You meet
our requirements admirably"
He wasn't joking although the
woman is 80 years old.
For Kotobuki means long life,
the name appropriately given to
an institution established in Koda
in 1857 as unique-and remarkably
experiment in meeting
a little-recognized need in postwar
Japan.
The New Japan
New ways of thinking and liv-
ing have come to Japan since the
end of the war;" says Shiga. Our
society has become democratized.
But the old folk, whose minds are
deeply ingrained with feudal, old
fashioned ideas, have often found
it difficult to adjust to the new
Japan.
"Our university is an attempt
to help the old people of Koda
make this adjustment, so they can
understand and enjoy their new
environment instead of feeling USE
less and discarded"
At 80, widow Ju Suzuki is the
oldest student at KOtObuki.
Youngsters under 20 do not quail
ify for admission, though many
would like to.
Enrolment Is so
1--WE keep enrolment down to
about go for financial reasons. The
university operates on an annual
budget of 1927 dollars apportioned
out of local taxes by the Koda
town assembly, And tuition is free"
There are 80 men and women in
the class of '59 from a town of 49,
600 people of which about 500 are
over 20 years old.
Glasses are held once a month at
the Koda Town Hall to which the
old folk commute by bus, on foot,
and sometimes in muddy weather
on the rear luggage racks of bicy-
cles pedalled by sons or daughters.
Ten classes constitute a COM
plete course, but attendance at
eight of these is sufficient to as
sure student of diploma.

Safety Council News

Traffic accidents take no vaca-
ton. To stay safe, step up your
vigilance on the road"
That warning was given to
motorists yesterday by ]. James
Ashton, manager of the Delaware
Safety Council, who suggested
"Slow Down anl Live" be adopted
as the traffic watchword this sum-
mer.
During the vacation months,
thousands of motorists are on the
highways, and many of them are
intent on cramming as much act-i-
vity as they can into one brief va
cation" he said. "The result is
often tragedy"
He cautioned vacationers to be
on their guard against speeders,
drinking drivers and drivers who
disregard traffic laws. Above all,
he warned them to make sure they
are never guilty of such offenses
themselves.
Many vacationers get into
trouble by not allowing enough
time to cover the trip comfortably" /"

Mr.. Ashton said. "Then they try to
make up time by driving too fast
for conditions, by driving when fa-
tigued or by disregarding traffic
laws"
The safety official advised motor
lists to observe the following
rules for a safe and pleasant trip:
1. Plan your trip so that you
have plenty of time to reach your
destination and return in comfort.
This means minimum of night
driving, no speeding or s1ow-poke
driving and no driving when fa-
tigued.
2. Before you start on your trip,
learn the driving regulations of
the states you expect to travel
through
8. Never drive after you've been
drinking.
4. Watch for and heed all road
signs and speed limits.
5. Have your car (and trailer, if
you use one) safety checked before
you start your trip.
6. Load your car carefully so
that luggage and equipment do not
interfere with vision and will not
shift dangerously in an emergency.

on his itch. She left the tube of
salve on the table by his bed. The
little boy itched some more. After

Your stories need not be mas
terpieces of literary skill to fas-
cinate your child.
Pictures Help
With your stories and family cpl
sodes, draw a few pictures. You
don't have to be a great artist A
few straight lines and circle for
a head are enough, just something
that adds contrast and interest to
whole page of writing.
If you are really ambitious you
can cut out picture or two from
a magazine and paste into your
story for illustration.
Letters of this sort are the kind
children away from home love to
get. They make the child feel
friendly and warm toward home
and parents and such feelings in
the child help to make him cooper
ative at camp. You need not tell
him you love him-thOugh of course
you can always add it, but whether
you say it or not the child knows
it because you take the necessary
time and trouble to write good let
terS.
With some children there is al
ways a lurking fear that the very
fact that they were sent off to
camp means you wanted to get rid
of them.
Don't ever send a child at camp
cookies or money without being
very sure of what the camp policy
on such gifts may be.

Practice Pays
Says Young
Piano Maestro
(P Newsfeature

If relatives and neighbors re-
bel at your piano practice, don't
give up. 1t happens in the best of
circles.
Our new cultural hero, 25-year-
old Van Cliburn attests to that
II wouldn't have been able to
practice in New York at all If it
weren't for my friends, the Stein
ways, who let me use the basement
of their building. Neighbors in my
apartment building in New York
complained to the janitor all the
time, even after had won the Mos
COW competition"
Van had to go on a list though,
and so much of the time was book
ed previously by touring artists,
that he could only practice past
midnight, and far into the night.
Its never too late to resume or
begin piano lessons though" he
says, but young people should
choose teachers who are near to
their age for better understanding
of their world. The teacher should
have the ability to be firm, should
be someone you respect, and some
one who can make you enjoy play
ing piano."
Vans mother taught him until
she just couldn't teach me more,
she said, so / went on to New York
and was fortunate in studying with
Nine. Rosina Lhevinne," says Van.
Practice Vital
The most important point about
learning to play piano is to stick
with the keyboard-'just like
typewriting," Van says. Discour-
agement isn't limited to beginners.
Everyday / feel hathaway"
Looking at Vans hands one
might suspect it was important to
have king-size span. Van can
reach a 18th from Middle C up to
A in the next octave, but on the
other hand, Josef Hoffman, one of
the worlds great pianists had such
tiny hands, Van says, that the
Steinways made him a special
piano by shaving the keys.
And it isn't a prerequisite to
have a big mop of hair, although

STRANGE ICE DEAL

ROCHESTER, n. Y. P)-Two
rival National Hockey League clubs
have ended their strange partner
ship in the Rochester Americans of
the minor American Hockey
League.
The Toronto Maple Leafs bought
out the Montreal Canadians to gain
a controlling SIS per cent of the
stock in the Rochester team. The
remaining As per cent is owned by
Rochester residents.
For several years, Toronto and
Montreal each had 271s per cent of
the stock and each contributed play
ers but the Canadians handled club
operations. There were complaints
that Maple Leaf farm hands did not
get a fair shake.

Glasses last from two to five in
the afternoon and are divided into
lecture and recreation sessions.
For lectures" Shiga explains,
I'VE have teachers come to dis
cuss problems of the old in our
changing society, which is some
thing no one ever considered be-
fore.
students are encouraged to
talk about their particular prob
lens and this serves as basis for
general discussion.
"We also have talks on politics
and other subjects of current in
terest. And travelogue movies are
also popular.
For recreation, the old folk
try their hand at handicrafts, or
play games, for example, trying to
walk a straight line with an apple
balanced on the head.

Begin to write to him at once
and write to him often.
If your youngster is below 10,
make very sure he is able to read
what you write Children have diff
ficulty reading the handwriting of
many adults. 1t is not bad idea
to print out your letters. 1t takes
a bit longer-but then it's better
to send many short letters than
only few long ones.
A few don'ts:
No Orders
Don't give him lot of instruc-
tions. Don't remind him to brush
his teeth or say his prayers. The
adults in charge of the camp will
see to these details. Your child
will not appreciate being nagged
by you long distance. Don't nag
him about writing to you. If there
is anything wrong you will hear
Immediately from the camp. On the
other hand, if he does write, al
ways mention his letter when you
write to him.
Tell him you miss him. No one
likes to slip out OF an established
place and not leave hole, but
don't make him feel you are sor-
rowful and lonely.
Tell him little things that hap
pen. How you forgot to stop the
milk and now the milk is crowding
out everything else in the refrig-
orator and you guess you will have
to give Daddy junket for supper.
"I'll bet he won't eat it up the way
you do," you should add.
Talk about how neat the house is
without small boys to mess it up.
And you might say, "You know l
looked everywhere yesterday for my
scissors. l looked in your room and
in the toy chest and everywhere
and where do you think l found
them? Right by my chair where l
dropped them"

feet on carcass quality, according
to tests made at the U. S. Range
Livestock Experiment Station al
Miles City.
Results of the tests, in which 21O
Hereford steers were studied to
see what correlation exists be-
tween growth, body form, and
carcass, have just been published
in a new bulletin by the Agricul-
tural Research Service of U.S.D.A.
in cooperation with the Montana
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Six pre-slaughter and 26 post
slaughter records were considered
in the studies. Final weight ap-
peared to have the highest value
of the measures of growth stu
died when 1t came to evaluating
carcasses.
Researchers found that growth
and tenderness seemed to be I'M
related; however, amount of lean
and amount of bone and tendon in
the carcass were significantly re-
lated. Only slight correlation ex-
listed between production charac-
tiers and areas traits, in the
animals studied, the publication
states.
