By NINA HARWOOD
A former Cueroite, Miss Ger-
trude Sumners, is in Houston or
a three - month furlough from
Kyoto, Japan, where she teach-
es at St. Agnes School for Girls.
She Is visiting Iter brother, the
Rev. Thomas Sumners, n ctor
of St. John the Divine Episco-
pal Church in River Oaks, Hous-
ton.
In a recent article appearing
in the Houston Chronicle. Miss
Sumners describes the econo-
mic and religious condition* of
Japan today. She stated the
economic condition is good, but
sees some danger to the coun-
try from the postwar religions.
One is particularly "vicious
she declared, as its followers
have an undermining influence
in government.
Miss Sumners who returned
to Kyoto in 1953 to resume her
teaching after a 12-year absence,
said she found the city physical-
ly unchanged, but an almost
completely differerr people
The tenched did not always
plan to work for her church in
the far comers of file glolie.
Her goal was an architectural
career and she reoehed a de-
suit of a resourceful brother and
the Episcopal church’s mission
hoard.
She related she was thrilled
to lie able to travel as traveling
was ip the family's blood, and
she particularly relished teach-
ing at missions as she had done
in Mexico City.
Miss Sumners spe"t the next
nine years teaching m the jun-
ior college section at St. Agnes
where they also have junior
high and high school sections.
She got to know Japan quite
well.
Kyoto is Japan’s ancient cap-
ital and also the center of Bud-
dhism.
"It considers itself a sister
city to Boston because of its cul-
ture". she explained.
It was primarily due to its cul-
tural value that the city was
spared from American bomb-
ing. she went on to state.
When war came. Miss Sum-
ners returned to Texas ami for
several months, lectured on Ja-
pan and what had hapi>ened
therp.
Again she went job hunting
and, because she could read
Japanese, worked for awhile in
San Antonio reading Japanese
mail as a censor.
"I didn't like this because it
Farm Week
Observed
In County
This is "Farm Bureau Week”
in Texas, ; a observance set by
Gov. John Oonnally to coincide
with the launclnng of Farm Bu-
reau membership drive activi-
ties over the state Several lo-
cal county FB leaders attended
an area-wide kick - off meeting
held Monday at the Gunter Ho-
tel in San Antonio.
Those from this county at-
tending the meeting, one ,*f
three hig rallies conducted over
the state that day, were: Frank
,, ......... Styra. Melvin Strauhe, and Her-
one could to help them , Miss ^ Hahn of y()rktown, and
found tlie work "agony”. She
eventually settled down to teach-
ing architecture at the Univer-
sity of Houston until 1953 when
she returned to Kyoto and a
new Japan.
Site found St. Agnes different
from the one she had left 12
years before. Physic&.iy it was
much the same, but the pupils
were entirely different. Only
tradespeople had enough money
to send their daughters to pri-
vate school, but the girls were
horribly unprepared for the
work.
"One wanted to do anylhing
thafr UvcHhood direeUy or in-
directly from agriculture, he
said.
The governor noted that
"through organized effort and
by democratic procedures, the
farmers and rancliers of Texas
have sought ami achieved a
voice in State affairs and have
campaigned for improvements
in the economy of Texas."

said today American plans to
conduct 7th Fleet maneuvers in

He said the ship movements
would constitute "ar mod
threats and war pfovoealidn,"
arid Communist Chiria opposes
them. Hiis remarks at a Cey-
lonese Embassy reception in
Peking were broadcast by the
New China News Agency.
Sumners said.
The biggest change she said
she found was a great experi-
menting with persona] freedom
The Japanese had not had such
freedom before the war and
sometimes they carried it to ex-
tremes.Juvenile deliquency be-
came prevalent, a nonexistent
problem before the war. "It
