Rooted In Tradition
“Don’t sit under the cherry blossom tree with anyone else
but me,” is a popular line in Japan where blooming plum
trees, azaleas and cherry blossoms inspire thousands of Japa
nese sweethearts and friends
as well as visitors to the coun
try to cultivate the art of en
joying a garden.
Even elevator operator girls,
garbed in the traditional kimo
nos, take a delightful break
from work by wandering the
grounds of the garden of one
of Japan’s largest hotels — the
Hotel Okura.
Located in Tokyo the hotel
has a rooftop garden that has
its roots in history. It’s a rep
lica of the famous winding
river garden at the Imperial
Palace in Kyoto, where in the
Heian period-between the 8th
and 12 centuries — poets cele
brated the Banquet of the Wind
ing River in the ancient garden.
As part of the festivities, a com
petition was held by the na
tion’s men of letters. They
stood at the edge of the Impe
rial garden’s stream and while
cups of sake-a wine made from
rice-were floated downstream,
each poet had to compose a
poem before he picked up the
cup and drank from it.
In the hospitable tradition
of the Orient, the Hotel Okura
offers some special feature for
everyone. Besides attractions
like the winding river garden
and lessons in flower arrange
ment, the hotel presents the
modern face of Japan — with
Western style dining rooms
and special conference facili
ties complete with translating
equipment for international
meetings.
Today’s Japan invites visi
tors to get acquainted with their
country. And more and more
visitors are meeting in the East
to discover the flowering tradi
tions and hospitality of the
Japanese.

Model Building
The building of model cars,
ships and airplanes is becoming
an increasingly popular hobby,
so much so that many game and
hobby stores devote shelf after
shelf to model kits. Working with
those delicate slivers of wood, or
those colorful pieces of plastic,,
to create a finished detailed ve
hicle or vessel is one of the most
rewarding pasttimes a youngster
of any age can have.
Since the parts are already
precut it’s not difficult to do a job
everyone will admire. There is
only one trap that many hobby
ists fall into-and that is using
too much glue.
Glueing the joints of a model
is delicate work. It’s tricky to get
just the right little dab in just
the right place. Too much glue,
or in too big an area, perma
nently stains the wood and mars
the total appearance.
On the other hand, too little
shortens the life of the model
craft. Where is the happy me
dium?
Most successful model builders
have found that the happy me
dium is glue in a metal tube.
They say that the tube allows
them to control both the amount
of glue and the direction of its
application. There are no drips
or spills with a tube; all you get
is just the amount of glue you
desire in the place you desire,
since the pressure of your fingers
regulates the application com
pletely.
Being in command of your
tools is the secret of successful
model building. And the secret of
using glue is to remember that
easy does it.

Catch That Clutter or
Don’t Mess Around
Maintaining a neat medicine
cabinet is one of those sciences
that has eluded most of us. Since
it’s a Sore Point with Mother,
why not resolve
to do something
about it.
Be a contain
er collector; if
a little gold box
or jewelry con
tainer happens
your way,
snatch it politely. Get a little
porcelain cup and keep your
cotton swabbies in it like little
white pussy willows. Cache a
small supply of *pills in plastic
containers prettied up with self-
adhesive paper (and labeled!) No
reason to keep the 200-pill bottle
in your medicine cabinet.
Weed out cosmetic parapher
nalia and “gift” it to your little
sister or cousin. The shampoo
you use twice a week takes up
space. But if you have a handy
unbreakable plastic tube of Breck
Concentrate it will sit slender,
and upright, in a small corner.
Since the shampoo is concen
trated, a little’ palm squirt will
give you lots of lovely lather.
Not only is this shampoo made
by Beautiful Hair Breck a space-
saver but it’s a hair-saver, too.
Made witb a special conditioning
agent, it makes hair manageable,
controls dandruff and allows a
curl to stay a-round longer. It
comes in two formulas; one for
normal and one for dry hair.
Make the next rainy weekend
project an overhaul of your medi
cine chest. Resolve for the new
year to catch the clutter before
it takes over. Then stick to your
resolution. Surprise yourself.
Floor your Mother!
