SECTION 2-PAGE 2-PLAINDEALER-WED., DECEMBER 13, 1972 Wonder Lake 728-0267 Mary Jean Huff Mathews' Enjoy Orient Tour With Texans If you walk into Tom Mathews' office and he greets you with, "How are you'all!" it's probably because he and his wife, Lois, just returned from a tour of the Orient, accompanied by forty-eight tall Texans. The first stop on the t Mathews' itinerary was Honolulu. Hawaii, where they were among 23,000 people at­ tending the National Realtors Convention, which turned out to be the largest convention ever held in Hawaii. The realtors who went on to the Orient (the forty-eight Texans and two from Illinois), received a special insight to life in the countries they visited, which included Tokyo and Kyotot, Japan; Hong Kong; Taipei, Taiwan; and Thailand. Mornings were spent listening to Jexperts briefing them on housing, construction, costs, needs of housing in the area and what the government and real estate people were doing to improve housing. This was followed by bus tours to actually see how the people were living. They found that many people in Japan live in boats and shacks on the water because the land is so costly. Con­ dominiums are being built "Good Scents there but are so crowded that sometimes six to ten people wiH occupy a 9 x 10 room and share a hath and kitchen with three families. Banquet rooms at airports, parks and the temples are meeting places for family get-togethers because of lack of room at home. As Lois said, "We never saw so many people!" The conventioners were impressed by the small scale hotel rooms they had in Tokyo, II w are hereditary at Hornsby y CL :A\ ( For years we've carric- such fine names in toiletries ond cosmetics as Coty, Revlon, Fabrege, Maybelline.

Some of the travelers from the Lone Star State found themselves kneeling so that they could look in the mirror to shave. Others dismissed the idea of a bath, simply because they couldn't fit into the tub. On Sunday, Nov. 19, a special ceremony for 3,5 and 7 year old children was held in Tokyo. The little girls were dressed in their most beautiful and bright kimonos with lovely ornaments in their hair while the boys wore suits with short pants and ties. They walked along the stone streets to the Shrine of Buddha, especially on this day. Bangkok, Thailand, was described as exquisite, very lorful, with very happy, very people. Canals had been so that people could live in snacks on the water. These people live a simple life, growing their own food, fishing, swimming and selling things they have made. Some points of interest in Hong Kong were the shops, each offering the same kind of merchandise, in comparison to the large department stores found in Japan. Also, the visitors found that Hong Kong is dealing with a great water shortage necessitating water to be piped in from Mainland China. Guards with bayonets were seen at the Chinese border. It was learned that only the old people obtain visas to cross over into Mainland China, because young people who have done so have never been seen again. More English was spoken in Hong Kong and more of a variety of people seen there, including Indian, American and especially British. Taipei, in Taiwan (or For­ mosa), another stop, was found to be more progressive in comparison to Hong Kong. The economy seemed higher ands the people happy and friendly.^ „ Spending Thanksgiving away from home meant a ten course Chinese dinner rather than our traditional turkey. The fifty people attended a banquet for the Asiatic Girls Sporting Association. 300 young women from Korea, Philippines, Hong Kong and Japan were there to compete for championships in sports. Each team also par­ ticipated in the evening's en­ tertainment, with skits, songs and dances representing their own countries. Looking back on this memorable trip, Lois told us her greatest impression was seeing millions of people living in dire poverty and in most cases accepting it in a tremendous way, expressing joy and contentment: NEW DAUGHTER Johnette Marie Peeler was born on Nov. 12, in Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, Woodstock.

The movies on Friday have been discontinued. Ruth also ap­ preciated all the donors that helped make the programs more enjoyable with the popcorn, kool-aid, cups and bags. Margaret Karas was especially helpful with her selections and suggestions of films that were used. . The Freemans, both Curt and Ruth, have enjoyed spending the Friday eve­ nings with the children and die young people who attended /be movies and the couple of /game nights.

Attend them and see what is happening around you in your area. See you next week. Cookie Recipe Cornell from Greece Immigrants from many dif­ ferent lands have contributed the best of their native cook­ ery to our varied American dessert cuisine. One of the many national groups to add to our culinary wealth are the Greeks. "Kourambiathew" is the Greek name for a delicate confec­ tion -- an almond flavored cookie rolled in confectioners sugar just before serving. Greek Cookies 2 Mt cups sifted flour !4 cup corn starch 1 cup margarine V* cup confectioners sugar 1 egg yolk % teaspoon almond extract V\ cup chopped nuts, optional Sift together flour and corn starch.
