She and her son, Puckett Cothran, of Eagleville, bave sheared many a head of sheep. Combining efforts, one works on each end of the sheep, until they take care of a sheep in six minutes.

The job used to be done much moresslow-ly, with hand-shearers. They have more than forty sheep now. By this time, it is no surprise to learn that Aunt Mitt makes her own lye soap, and finds it works fine in her washing machine. She makes all but her Sunday and always has a good supply of aprons, because she makes them. She used to crochet a lot There was a time when she made-baby caps for sale tiny ones for 15 cents and bigger ones for a quarter.

With all the gardening and chores, Aut Mitt Cothran has found time to do many kinds of handwork. She used to make rag carpets by weaving them On the loom. And the only kind of blankets she ever had, she says, arathe homemade ones woven on the loom. Plenty of them are still in use. She still knits a good deal in winter.

Last year she finished nine hats. She has made sweaters and scarves, too, and other articles. The garden fence is lined with grapevines which she has set out and pruned each year. Many glas ses of sparkling jelly find their way to her winter canned fruit storehouse. And several bushels of grapes are sold to neighbors Aunt Mitt picka the grapes, of course.

Mrs. Cothran has been a member of a church, for sixty years-belongs now to Mt. Pleasant Bap tist phurch and during all that time she has only missed "two big meetings," she said. She still attends regularly Used to walk the mile from home to church and carry her baby. The Union Building is air-con ditioned andlhe public is cor dially invited to attend.

T. (UP). A "junkyard" proved to be a gold mine for the two Golonka brothers. Joseph U. "and Sigmund Golonka sold their 55.5-acre tract in suburban Buffalo for $170,000 to the, Kennecott Copper Corp.

When they purchased the property a year ago for $26,250 the brothers had planned to rent, it to junk dealers. The art of social courtesy is one at which the Japanese people excel above western contemporaries, Captain Mrs. Connie A. Karaberis were impressed during the two-year residence in Japan from which they have just returned. Visitiner here with Mrs.

(Avis) Karaberis' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Moore, at 403 North Manle Street they recall the con sideration and kindness of the Japanese for their visitors as one of their outstanding characteristics. "No detail is too small to be taken care of." Avis commented.

And her husband added, 'They even take down pictures they have hanerine on their walls and put up other pictures they feel would te of special conversauona. interest tn their sruests." On these oc casions, figurines of unusual charm are selected ana piacea about the room. "It is a. part of Japanese cour-tesv to admire objects," the Cap tain observed. To over-admire them was a mistake, for it is customary for the host to presen to a eiiest whatever object he ad mired profusely.

Such a gift was never refused, even tnougn h. might be a family heirloom of great value. The erring guest always sought to make Up for his breech by visiting on another oc- casion and bringing a favored "gift. v. As a matter of fact, the Japanese people always took with them a gift on even the most casual visit an "omiyage," or "visiting gift." This was one of the things Americansseenr-tc-have lostf-the faculty possessed by the Japanese who has time to admire the beautiful in art, to meet and enjoy each other, and to enjoy the grandeur of nature.

With them, the family is still the basic center of lif of which the father is the head. The awoman is always subservient to her husband, and walks behind him, and shares equaUy nis burdens. She works extremely hard. Captain and Mrs. Karaberis were in a position to become well-acquainted with the customs of the Japanese farmer, for they rented a home in the rural area about an hour and a half drive from Tokyo, and from the Atsugi Naval Air Station.

He has been the commanding officer Of a navy air transport squadron operating out of Atsugi, and as such had an area of responsibility encompassing all of the Far His duties took him over Japan.J Korea, Formosa, Hongkong and the Philippines. A genuine and lasting riendship was established with a Japanese family, Mr. and Mrs. Hori, who were their neighbors. Like everyone is the rural area, Hori-San had his own And these little farm areas often less than an acre, were never left idle.

It was the pleasure of Connie and Avis Karaberis to have a meal with these Japanese friends on a few occasions. These meals might feature "Sukiyakl" pro-r nounced more often which is a beef and vegetable combination, with a soya sauceserved with rice. As they witnessed at one such mean's the food was brought in by some Japanese girls, the beef cut wafer thin in and the platter decorative with the vegetables arranged in neat rows in color. In the presence of the guests, food was slipped into the Hibachi pot (a charcoal burner which was the only source of heat on a cool day), and quickly cooked. Everyone ate from the chopsticks, supplementing the common vessel with the aid of meat and vegetables with rice.

Sometimes the hostess might dip into the hibachi with Jong Chopsticks and serve-the guests. There -were few eastern dishes which become western favorites, however, and the Captain and his wife were happy to be able to purchase, western foods at their commissary seven or eight miles distant from their home. Through the influence of Mr. and Mrs. Hori, the American couple were invited to participate in one of Japan's most cultural rites, in the home of on of its most ardent exponents, Prof.

Harada, 84, author of English volumes on Japanese culture. The "tea ceremony," as it is known, is one studied for years before its leaders take part in the serving. Every part of the ceremony is of significance, and gestures are of importance. The part of the "briefed" guests included proper admiration of the serving cups, all of beautiful Japanese heirloom pottery, and correct holding of the vessels. They found their Japanese neighbors basically honest, reliable, and hard-working.

There was little need to fear robbery. If coins were left lying on the dresser of a room cared for by a Japanese girl, the owner, did not fear their being stolen by her. They were untouched. During the two years of their stay, the Captain recalls only one or two reported incidents of theft or assault in the Daily Nippon Times. The secret, he feels is in the stiff jail sentence of from one to five years for a minor theft, and five to ten years, for a serious theft The same went for assault.

The highly-disciplined people made the; work of a Tokyo traffic cop much simpler than it might have been inCJtiicago. If a policeman raises his hand to stop traffic, traffic stops. Pedestrians halfway across, turn back quickly. The Americans enjoyed watching-many religious festival parades, with elaborate floats. They noticed that the Japanese school system requires that before- graduation each of the pupils must visit the shrines in Kyoto, and sometimes thousands of these chil dren may be seen there in their uniforms.

This ancient and sac red city was spared from wartime destruction, the Captain observed, probably for the sake of its magnificent temples and ancient Most of its inhabitants still dress in native attire. Captain and Mrs. Karaberis were especiaUy interested on their return to know whether one friend'remembered them. Pepper, their ten-year-old and blind Scotch terrier, had been left with the Moores during the trip abroad. When the visitors arrived in the house, Pepper was brought in, and aU were quiet while she sniffed her curiosity.

Then they began to speak one. at a time. Very shortly she recognized their voices and began to. jump her joy at the reunion. The eastern experience has been fascinating and valuable, but the travelers feel "it's good to be home again" with rich memories and treasured pictures.
