one-third American people, but later on it was one-third Japanese and two-third American. Bill attended an American school in Japan. He says that Japanese schools are small, and only in some part do they have compulsory education. However, most of the Japanese are eager to learn and are very happy to be able to attend school. Bill was very impressed by the ability of the Japanese to learn quickly and by their desire to come to America to study. Foreign Food Because of the American commissaries, the Ridges always could get an American meal; but for experience’s sake they ate some sukiyaki suppers. This consists of a stew made of beef covered with brown sugar and vegetables and a side dish of rice. When served, the stew is placed in a bowl with the yolk of a raw egg. Most Japanese cook their meals on an earthen, char-coal-burning stove known as an hibachi. ‘“We also ate bamboo shoots with some of our meals,” says Bill. “The shoots taste much like

Attache Solves

Living Problem

WASHINGTON (UP)—Whether Iran’s oil wells flow or not, Mohammed Nemazee, an Iranian embassy attache, doubts that his source of income will dry up. He farms a herd of 200 dairy cattle on the Maryland estate which once belonged to Walter Johnson, famed pitcher of the Washington Senators. Mountain View Farm, once the headquarters where Johnson and his friends mapped the ace pitch-

* er's career ‘in local Maryland : politics, has undergone several 3.SPEED changes since Nemazee bought it} in 1950, three years after John-|) AUTOMATIC son’s death. “ Mr. Johnson kept a pack of PHONOGRAPH hounds and bird dogs in addition DYNAMAGIC to 90 cows and liked to hunt

foxes, around the countryside. Mr. Nemazee spends only the week-ends at the farm. A businessman who owns property in Iran and Hong Kong, he runs the place with an eye to profit more than did his sports-loving predecessor. The farm was sold to a Washington automobile dealer for $55,000 shortly after Mr. Johnson’s death. Now neighbors estimate it is worth $350,000.
