Golf On Increase As Sport In Japan Desert Tea House For Golf Courses By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor TOKYO <UPD— The tea house is being deserted for the teecreating a r.ew type of “golf widow’’ in Japan. She is the Geisha girl, the trained entertainer who increasingly finds herself competing with the golf course for the executive’s attention and spending. The rpen head for the links to discuss business deals because it’ cheaper. A Geisha party at a top-ranking tea house runs about S3O a head, and a successful party involves five or six persons. liiis adds up to a pretty penny — even on an expense account. Golf stil is called the "rich man's game” here, but an executive who is a member of a club can figure on about 3000 yen dess than $lO > for each" guest on the course. Membership in a club runs from S3OO to SSOO annually Golfers Increasing Hochi Shimbun, a sports and entertainment daily, estimated there are 300,000 men golfers in Japan today, plus 10,000 women. The number of addicts for President Eisenhower’s favorite sport is growing here at the rate of 50,000 per year. Even some Geishas are taking to the links, apparently figuring if you can’t lure ’em, join ’em. In turn, the Geisha population has dropped, although the decline is due more to economics than golf competition, said Kenji Goto, secretary of the Domei Kai, headquarters of the Geisha Federation.

Goto said that many a Geisha found that her earnings—an average of 60,000 to 70,000 yen per month barely covered cost of upkeep for kimonos and cosmetics. Japan now has some 10,000 Geishas, a 50 per cent drop from the pre-war total. How does a girl become a Geisha? She may be given over by parents who are poor and need money; she may have been bom in a Geisha house; or a relative or friend is a Geisha and influences her. Labor Laws Stricter Before the war, Goto said, public soliciting was permitted, and a girl could become an apprentice “maiko” after she had finished the compulsory six years of school, or by the time she was turning a teen. Today, labor laws require the apprentice to be at least 18. And, said Goto, by this time, a girl finds the two or three years* of apprenticeship, and the dancing and music training which goes with it, just too difficult. Talking with Geisha apprentices at a school in Kyoto, I found them ultra-modern, once they shed the traditional makeup, the wigs, and kimonos. Apprentice Kinya — Geishas use only their first name — said she decided on the profession because a girl friend was one. She is so Westernized she wears toreador pants off-duty and has very definite opinions about Elvis Presley — “too loud and too busy,” she said.

RRwmHMfci r^ I '.""’"' ' ’ •' ”" *IF - The Ford Custom Ranchero, first prestige pickup of its kind in the industry, is completely restyled for 1959. The Custom Ranchero has the same clean, tasteful styling of the 1959 Ford station wagons and a new, longer 118-inch wheelbase. The nominal body length of seven feet means a bigger loadspace for cargo of all sorts. The Ranchero has the same luxurious interior as the 1959 Ford Country Sedan.
