The customs on marriage
have been liberalized, she
pointed out. When her
parents were married, she
said, they had dated only two
or three times. And before
that, brides may never have
seen their husbands until
their wedding day. “That’s
blind marriage, not blind
dating,” chuckled Wilbur.
Niko is planning to spend
Christmas in the U.S. She is
anxious to take part in the
celebration because the
Japanese Buddhists don’t
celebrate Christmas. She
said at home they drink
champagne and eat cake,
and small children
sometimes make Christmas
trees and receive presents.
" The Japanese holiday is
New Year’s Day. Niko said
that most Japanesetravel to
see the shrine that day. She
would rather not fight the
pushing crowds, so Niko
stays home and watches the
sunrise.
“As the sun comes up I
pray and make my new
year’s resolutions,” she

said. “Last year I prayed to
come to America and to get a
boyfriend.”
Half of her prayers were
answered because she did
get to visit the U.S., but she
smiled when she said she
still hand’t gotten a
boyfriend. That fact is hard
to believe because Niko is a
stunning young woman, with
beautiful black hair and
dark eyes. She is considered
tall, measuring 164 cen
timeters, or five feet six
inches.
Niko said that she was
amazed (hat most American
boys were married very
young. She said that in
Japan, the young men many
when they are between the
ages of 26 and 28, and that
the women marry when they
are 22 to 24 years old.
The charming 23 year old
said that she expects that
when she returns to Japan,
the matchmaker will have
many prospects for her to
look at She said that finding
a husband is more difficult
for her, than for her sisters,
because she must stay home
on the farm, and most young
men will not want to change
their names.
During her stay m the
States, Niko enjoyed
travelling to Chicago and
Florida in her free time. She
hopes to be able to try snow
skiing, one of her favorite
hobbies, before she returns
to Japan for the New Year.
While at the Erb’s, Niko
went on her first small
airplane nde. Wilbur Erb, a
licensed pilot, took her for a
bird’s-eye-view of Lancaster
County. One of the highlights
of the flight was her aerial
glimpse of Three Mile
Island. Niko is going home
with some photographs and
a T-shirt of the famous TMI.

She also took a tour of an
Amish poultry farm, and
visited Wilbur’s Chocolate
Factory in Lititz. Most of her
_souvemors were T-shirts,
tourist brochures, spoons
and record albums. “A lot of
the souvenirs m the States
are made in Japan or
Taiwan, and we can buy the
same stuff at home,” Niko
said. So, Niko bought blue
jeans and shirts instead. The
clothes in Japan are much
more expensive, she noted.
A simple dress can cost $2OO.
Before she left the Erb’s
on Thursday, Niko prepared
a Japanese meal. The
traditional Pennsylvania
Dutch dishes were traded for
a meal of sukiyaki and
tempura.
The sukiyaki was fried
meat, Chinese cabbage,
onions, leeks, bean sprouts,

common pot in a sugar
based soy sauce. The tem
pura dish was made up of
vegetables dipped in batter
and deep fried.
No desserts were served
because the Japanese do not
eat sweets.
Of all the American dishes
that Niko ate during her six
month stay, her favorite dish
was tuna casserole. She also
liked the fancy rice dishes
that were served in
Louisiana. Eating macaroni
and cheese was something
different for Niko because
the Japanese usually don’t
mix foods together and they
eat very little cheese. Milk
and cheese are thought of as
foreign, she said.
All told, Niko has bad an
exciting and educational
experience during her IFYE

Daily and possession
limits for these species are:
pheasants, two and four;
squirrels, six and twelve;

memorable times was when
she attended the National 4-
H Congress. There she met
the other 50 IFYE’s from 20
countries.
“An African girl said these
Americans are crazy...they
walk too fast; and, a girl
from the United Kingdom
said that Americans walk
too slow. A French boy said
that he missed being able to
drink wine; and a German
boy said that he missed his
beer,” Niko recalled.
Niko will be taking back
happy memories and in
formation that should help
her in her career as a
Japanese-poultry fanner.
And, perhaps more valuable
than anything else, she will
take along friendships that
will last a lifetime.
season
There will be a single
season for hunting snowshoe
rabbits (varying hares) this
year, opening on Wed
nesday, December 26, and
dosing on Tuesday, January
1. The daily limit on
snowshoes is two, with a
season limit of four.
Deer of any age or sex will
be available from December
26 to January 5 during the
archery and flintlock
muzzleloader deer seasons.
Both archers and flintlock
hunters will be able to hunt
statewide during the winter
season. The late archery
season in recent years has
been statewide, but prior to
1979 the flintlock season had
been confined to designated
state and federally-owned
lands.
A separate archery license
and/or a separate flintlock
muzzleloader license,
available from county
treasurers, local issuing
agents and Game Com
mission field division offices,
must be displayed on the
regular hunting license
during the winter deer
season.
The only firearms that
may be used during the
muzzleloader season are
single barrel flintlock
ignition long guns .44 caliber
or larger propelling a single
ball. Telescopic and peep or
aperture sights are
prohibited.
