Am writing this at the deck in our cabin, but the boat is tossing so it is difficult to write. This has been a rough trip so far, but we are be- coming used to it. The General Patrick is a large ship into the Mystic Order of the Golden Dragon, Ruler of the 180th Meridan. Also, Monday becomes Tuesday at that time. What a pleasant surprise to shorten our trip. Despite the many activities the days pass pretty slowly. We are so anxious to reach our destination and complete our family. Today is Sunday and I just drop- ped Marty and Janny off at the play- room for Sunday school. I will at- tend church service if I get Mary to sleep for her morning nap. Then we will explore.

In fact, the ride out from the village of Chuzengi reminded us of another resort town we love so well. Fred remarked that if the lake were only smaller it could be Moody Pond at Saranac Lake. The road was no better than the one around Moody Pond. After lunch, we took a walk to the fish hatchery — a very pretty park- like affair, and then to Ryuzu water falls, which were very pretty. This vicinity is in a national preserve. The mountains, which seem so rugged to us, are on the edge of the Japan Alps. Ohuzengi Lake itself is prac- tically, bottomless, having an average depth of some 300 feet. On our walk we had some fun with a hive of construction workers who were put- ting in a new bridge. They were way down below us. Some of the men were sitting around the fire with the ever-present brass pot of tea steaming. Fred made 'believe warm his hands at the fire which drew a laugh. They were all very jolly and enjoyed our evident confusion over just what the project was and how they were doing it. v Back at the ranch everyone was praying for snow so they could go skiing at Yumoto Spa some five miles farther u p and inland. Sunday morning dawned 'bright and crisp so we went visiting the famous and beautiful shrines down — here we go again — in Nikko. Words just can't describe these amazing pieces of art. The colors were gorgeous and the buildings, etc., were kept in beautiful repair. All was bright color of lacquer and shining brass. Of the sights famous enough for Americans to know about were the monkeys carved in a so- called stable — see no evil, speak no evil, and hear same. Monkeys are supposed to be good luck for horses., We spent several hours looking at •these things, then being thirsty, we shopped at a tea shop. The Army book says we can drink tea because the water has 'been boiled. We sat in tiny chairs and the girl wordlessly •brought us tea and disappeared. jWhen we had finished and tried to pay it seemed' that there is no charge for tea alone. Seemed odd to get something free without winning it. We jwent back up,the mountain by cable car tMs time. • This was much easier on the nerves and yet quite an experience. The daring young man decided td take #ie suspension car trip t o the next mountain top, but I stayed behind so h e could have someone to wave to! Fred's sitting here back seat writ- ing arid tells me we've got to start ending this. So we'll slide over our trip to Yumoto Spa and ski center the next day. There wasn't much snow rand we got more free tea. When we got back t o the Kanko we checked out, had lunch, and 1 made res.ejEvatibhs for the whole family for the 3lst. of January.

Shepherd, of 'Mechanic- ville, stated that the railroads have to pay the full costs of their stations, and pay heavy property taxes on them as well, while the airlines get their airports at a fraction of cost. \The Albany airport, for example, cost more than $219,000 to operate in 1956,\ Shepherd said. \Albany tax- payers furnished nearly 80 per cent of this — more than $181,000 — the airlines paid less than $34,000 and concessionaires paid about $4,600.\ The railroads have always believed, he said, \that the only fair way to operate our national transportation system is to have all forms of trans- portation pay their own way, without the 'help of the taxpayers. The U. S. Bureau of the Budget has, in fact,\ started a survey among government agencies to study that possibility. i \In the meantime, however, the* railroads and the pipelines will con- tinue to be the only transporters that- do pay their way.\ i Shepherd said the Albany railroads pay more in taxes alone on Union Station than the airlines pay toward the entire costs of the Albany air- port. Property taxes on Union Sta- tion amounted to $59,500 last year. The railroad's city-purpose property taxes in Albany will total nearly $275,000 this year, Shepherd added. \A large part of this tax payment goes to subsidize our competitors,\ he said, \which is an irony the rail- roads can ill afford to appreciate.\ (The city of Albany collects no, property taxes from the airport or ; the airHnes using it. The city does, however, pay about $19,000 on prop- erty taxes on the port to the Town of Colonie.) \The railroads quite obviously can- not compete price-wise with the air- lines when we have to pay all our passenger-terminal costs out of our own pockets while they have to pay only 16 per cent of theirs,\ Shepherd said. I \We believe that this form of j favoritism — particularly when we ' provide our passenger service at a! substantial loss to ourselves — is grossly unfair to the railroads and to the taxpaying public,\ he con- cluded.
