A Canadian "book hi ar's da "Land of Sunrise" A Colorful Description of a ~~ Journey to Japan. By MISS S. LAIRD, Prince Albert, Ont. ~~ Whenever Masefield's lines beginning "I must go down to the seas again", keep coursing through my mind incessantly, then I know that the call of the seafarers' blood that is in my veins "is a clear call that may not be denied." : ! Lurking in my thoughts for some time had been the desire to see Japan, with its beautfiul gardens and plants; for anything goncerning flowers has a fascinating attraction for me. Thus it was that by the 'end of June, armed with a passport and ticket I found myself speeding across Canada towards Victoria, But it was not until I had actually boarded the ocean liner, that I could really believe I wus bound for Asia. The voyage across the Pacific was soothing and restful, The first few days sleep was the main occupation, and people who: had planned to do so much reading, found it impossible to read even a few pages before beginning to nod. . ; + ~ For anyone who enjoys studyfhg people an ocean voyage provides ample material. Generally there are all types on board, just as each community or village has its various kinds. : July 12th, this summer was non-existent for me, because on that day we crossed "the line", and in so doing skipped a day; but coming back we had two August 16th's>to make up for it. 2 : As soon as the snow-capped Aleutian islands had been left behind us we began to feel a slightly warmer temperature, But it was not until we were two days from Japan that we were able to 'wear summer clothes. - For hours we passed Japanese islands--all mountainous and all . shapes and sizes, Numerous towns or villages nestled at the foot of the hills. No doubt these were fishing centres because for miles around them the sea was dotted with countless' picturesque fishing vessels or sam- pans, Sometimes, we were close enough to. see where they had cast their nets. : =A Time and tide were kind to us and we sailed into Toyko Bay ahead of schedule, Ships of all kinds and of different nations were standing there or moving in or out. Eventually after a great deal of time spent" in investigating our passports, we were allowed to land at YoKohama. Along the wharf Japanese in every kind of dress were busy in con- nection with our ship. What fascinated me mostly were the dainty, beautiful, little women, in their gay, graceful kimonos. "My first im- pression was not changed, during my stay in Japan. Everywhere I went I found the people neat, beautiful, charming and poMte' Lp In Japan there are more than thirty-five. styles of hair-dressing or "mage', as they term it. As a result all kinds of - interesting hair arrangements can be seen, The one I admired most was when the women parted their heavy black hair in the middle and pinned it in a coil on the neck. Sometimes a flower or gay pin was won behind the ear. The women are very dainty in their "make-up". They rouge and use lipstick so artistically that it really adds to their beauty, : They powder their necks so thickly that there is a dividing line just below the chin. ?"It seems to be a very popular custom. The women wearing European clothes were few, but it was a com- -mon sight to see. men wearing foreign dress. A : The majority. of Japanese wear ankle socks which are divided so that the big toe is separated from the rest. Then when they wear their wooden shoes or '"geta'" the foot is held in place by a shaped cord or thong which passes between the big toe and the second toe. It is rather pleasant to-hear the continuous click-clacking sound that these make on the pavement. ' These shoes 'are always removed when the wearer enters a home. I conclyded that it was because of this custom that Japanese floors were so well kept. .-«.- Kamakura attracts many visitors 'because it is here the famous coldssal bronze image of the Great Buddha stands. It is so large that: there is a flight of steps inside the image. We climbed these and in that way realized its size the better, The grounds in which this image stood were kept scrupulously neat. ~ Trees, shrubs and stones were 'everywhere. Large flat stones are great treasures in Japan and special ones'are supposed to have power to help in different affairs. There is 'one called the measle stone. Mothers by the hurdreds bring their child- ren to it in order to ward off that disease. The trees here, as in other parts of the country, are things of beauty. "I think that I shall never see, A poem levely as a tree" are lines that could be applied to all theirs very aptly. Pines, not as large and ma- jestic as ours, were everywhere. Many of them are hundreds of years old. Great care and training is given so that they grow into beautiful shapes. In these grounds, where the image was, there was an especially beautiful pine, which I recall quite vividly, because twining around it was a delicate vine on which grew flowers, resembling a morning glory in shape, but were the most exquisite salmon shade of colour. Then often with the pines as a background there would be masses of oleander with its pink bloom. Beauty like that could be seen in all sorts of un- expected places. : Wherever one turns in Japan there is usually a Torii to be seen. They are gateways or entrances to their temples or sacred grounds. .. In Toyko there is a great temple built to the Goddess of Mercy. Leading up to this is a long street lined with open stores where all kinds of toys and trinkets are sold. It resembles the midway _at the Toronto Exhibition. Optside this temple was a large: barrel arrange- ment into which coins, were thrown continually, as people passed it: on their way to pray. 'Some prayed audibly. I was told that their prayers were for their country and for other people, seldom for self. It made me wonder if that spirit of usefulness, along with their appreciation of everything beautiful accounted for so many lovely happy faces. - The babies of Japan are carried on the backs of some other members of the family, There are babies by the millions, yet I never heard one ery. They were such interesting little things, with their black eyes and hair, that I couldn't help speaking to them sometimes. Then the mothers would smile and bow as if they were pleased to have their children noticed. ; I was informed that Japanese children are never scolded. Was it, I wondered, because the children were so good or because the parents were so patient? All' children are considered a year old at the New . Year. Therefore, when a Japanese states his age it is always one year less reckoned in the Occidental way. Time, in Japanese chronology is not reckoned as in 'Christian copntries, It is divided into eras, with variable numbers of years.

H, Stevens. : ~ Mr. Stevens was only expected to speak about fifteen min- utes; but time passed rapidly as he warmed to his subject, and his address lasted over half an hour. ; yi Chief among the subjects discussed by Mr. Stevens was the undue influence which prominent financial men have upon Can- adian business. He cited many instaces in meat packing, butter storage, and similar business enterprises where the market was manipulated to the detriment of the producer and the undue profit of cold storage and meat packing magnates. Referring to the control of butter prices, Mr. Stevens charged that the subsidized cold storage plants were being used to give great profits to a few. He claimed that the farmers should have profited through cold storage, because they helped to pay the sub- sidy. : ' : ; Yat the conclusion of the address by Mr. Stevens a brief state- 'Before the meeting got under way, to talk on the problems of the day. lon to show how the present govern.

"ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF CONSERVATIVES While it was not a large crowd that attended * the Conservative meeting held in the Town Hall, Port Perry, Wednesday evening, Stpt. 256th, a good deal of enthusiasm was aroused before the meeting closed. Mr, W. S. Short acted as chairman. he called on a number of prominent Conservatives to take seats on the platform. ; ; Mr. R. B. Humphreys, secretary of the Liberal-Conservative Association for Ontario Riding, was the first to address the gathering. He said he was not a politician, but was going While conditions demanded an im- medate adjustment of thngs, he went ment was making headway, and gave figures to substantiate this record. with the Conservative party and sup- worker with Mr. Bennett, ~ The next speaker was Col. Mec- Cormick, of Oshawa, who mentioned iwelve groups that were trying to minion. He then said he was going finally eliminated ten of them until he had left the two old political parties. He then went on to show that we would have a more settled form of government with 'these two honorable parties--Liberal and Con- servative. He then pressed the Lib- eral party aside by showing the ad- Plt La yd vantage of supporting the Conserva. tive party. He mentioned twelve promises + that. Mr. King had made previous at his last election and went on to show none of them were ever put into force by Mr. King. Among these promises were: limitation of hours of work, abolish child labor, abolish sweepstakes, industrial con- trol, unemployment insurance, invest- igate the high cost of living, amend the British North America Act. The speaker then 'enumerated the many social reforms enacted by the Bennett government. On those that had been put on the Statutes were: the eight hour day, 44 hour week, fair wage act, unfair merchandising control, home building act, reduction in inter- est- on farm loans. Col. McCormick said Mr. Bennett cut the interest paid by the Dominion on new loans of $368,000,000 to an average of 1.90%. The Ottawa agreement made by thé Bennett Governnient was another sound piece of Legislation. Mr. Creighton, of Oshawa, and Mr. Grant Christie, of Manchester, were the next speakers, and urged the audience to support Mr. Hall in the election of October 14th. te "Mr. Hall was the final speaker and confined his remarks to figures of comparison of trade between those given for the King Administration, and those of the.Bennett government. He urged the people to get behind Mr. Bennett and allow him to finsh his work. * | BLACKSTOCK | "The September meeting of the W.

The team passed through what was then known as Hamer's Corners, ana passed through Prince Albert over a trail to the land on which settlement was made-in Reach-Township. Mr. Cook served for seven years on. Whitby Township Council and four years on Reach' Council. He has long been an advocate of good roads and his interest in that direc- tion has been capitalized for the bene- fit of the farmers of both townships. He has seen modern road machinery replace the old hand tools in the days of statute labor. "Mr, Cook has been a successful farmer and has to his credit the improvement of not a few farms. In April of this year he dis- posed of a very fine farm, near Pros- pect, which he worked for many years, to the Valleyview Dair Co. The sale was easily effected because Mr. Cook had kept the farm trim in appearance und in excellent condition. The road approach was also good. His son, Clarence, is the manager of the farm.
