That’s the idea, if not the literal translation, in Japan’s traditional “Kakizome,” a “brush-in" that opens the Janu
ary school semester. Using their best pensmanship — or brushmanship — students express their hopes for the
coming year — “good friendship,” “new spring, new decision” and similar uplifting thoughts — on poster-sized
sheets of rice paper.
A steady hand is essential and sturdy knees help in “Kakizome." Using new brushes and fresh ink, Japanese
students need skill and patience for the New Year’s calligraphic demonstration. And no erasing — once brush
touches white rice papter, the artist-writer must keep going. The best examples may be entered in national
competitions.

billion, the biggest one year
leap in 22 years, the Commerce
Department reported Wednes
day.
What happened to that extra
money? In large part, it fueled
a lavish spending spree on
automobiles, television sets,
and other durable goods. To the
extent that consumers also
continued to indulge their taste
for beef and other food items in
short supply, the buyer-induced
demand helped drive up the
cost of living at the fastest rate
in a quarter century.
In other economic news, the
Federal Reserve reported a
sharp decline in U. S. industrial
output in December, largely
due to the energy shortage.
The sudden turnaround, fol
lowing more than two years of
virtually uninterrupted growth
in industrial production, result
ed from a cutback in automo
bile manufacturing at year-end
as economy-conscious motorists
turned thumbs down on many
Detroit models.

West this winter, mellowed to
light drizzle today after plagu
ing the Pacific Northwest and
roaring into Northern Califor
nia.
Near Roseburg, Ore., a big
mudslide buried a telephone
company coaxial cable repeat
ing station Wednesday night,
trapping nine men inside. State
Police said they feared “all
were lost." Rescue operations
were called off for the night
because of fear more of the
hillside would fall.
The rain sent rivers overflow
ing their banks, touched off
mud slides on major highways
and forced the evacuation of
hundreds of homes in Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho, Montana
and California. Utilities were
knocked out.
The National Weather Service
said the skies were partly clear
with only a few reports of light
rain. However, forecasters said,
a new storm was churning
toward the West Coast from the
Pacific and should bring more
precipitation Friday.
At Meyers Flat, a brother
— Griffin Daily News Thursday, January 17,1974
and his sister were washed into
Bridge Creek at the Eel River
when high water swept their
home away. Humboldt County
Sheriff’s deputies identified
them as Jimmy Moore, 14, and
his sister, Cathy, 13. The rest of
the family made it to safety.
After the rain fell incessantly
in the Pacific Northwest for
two days, it roared into
Northern California Wednesday.
At Dunsmuir in Siskiyou
County, the town’s sewage
treatment plant was threate
ned, and city officials said that,
if sewage settling ponds were
flooded, the waste would be
carried down the Sacramento
River into picturesque Lake
Shasta.
The state Office of Emergen
cy Services in Sacramento,
Calif., said the respite from the
rain helped ease flood condi
tions but the water was
precariously high on the Kla
math, Trinity, Van Duzen, Mad,
Eel and Smith rivers.
An Amtrak train with 100
passengers was stranded by
flood in Troy, Mont. The
Burlington Northern main line
was washed out and several
freight trains stranded in
Libby, Mont., and Bonner’s
Ferry, Idaho.
National Guardsmen, law
enforcement officers, convict
crews, Army Corps of Engi
neers workers and private
citizens shored up crumbling
dikes and helped in the
evacuation of homes.
