Coble’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Coble who reside on a farm in the county near Shiloh. Having married an attractive Japan e s e girl, Etsuko Nunobe, the c o u p le has three adorable little children, Eddie, 5. Martha 2 and a half and chubby little Mary Ann 5 months of age. Sgt. Coble, first class, has been stationed in, Japan for seven years so his family is just making the acquaintance of his wife ahd children. Calling on the Cobles at the home of the sergeant’s sister, Mrs. D. W. Quesen-berryf of 5th St. S. E., we enjoyed our visit and learned something of the visitors’ life in Japan.INQUIRING of her family, pretty little Etsuko told us her* parents live in Kumamoto. Her father is a wine merchant and she has a brother and three sisters, one o f whom is her twin. Asking of her hobbies, Mrs. Coble said she is very fond of music and flower arranging. She°studied piano dur* ing her four years of high school. She played the piano for the school events and then went back and played two years. She also attended a flower arranging school. This is a custom of most girls in Japan. Tpo, with threq little children, Mrs. Coble naturally, is kept very busy.AtRalt tion d gram departthe ClschoolWe inquired if the children speak English, o which Mrs. Coble dlt;loes.WE WEtyE DELIGHTED to hear Mrs. Coble thinks America is a wonderful land and the people very kind. The family flew from Japan to the West Coast and then on to New York City, comin g here by rail. Mrs. Coble was amazed that the United States is so large and the buildings so high; that everyone has automobiles and television. She laughingly said she is accustomed to the slow trains in Japan.WEDNESDAY Round Dozen Club: Mrs. W, Kelly Tilson, Randolph and 3rd St., 3:30 p‘. m.Alum Spring Rd. HDC: Mrs. E.H. Millirons, 10 a. m.THURSDAY Ladies* Auxiliary, Country Club:SGT. COBLE met his wife at a Lutheran Church (of which she is a member) in Kumamoto in 1949 and they were married under the Japanese law in 1950 at the same church where they met. The couple lived in Kumamoto for awhile and then they were stationed at Sendai, a city about 200 mil e s north of Tokyo. The sergeant says it is very cold at Sendai and he liked the climate better at Kumamoto as it was much warmer.jyuddebut they really spbftk of the Japanese language. The sergeant says while he speaks a little Japanese he can understand it very well. We were charmed with a bit of a bird song (very tuneful) that Eddie and Martha sang for us in Japanese, accompanied by t h e irmother.IN SPEAKING of the Japanese hduses, the custom is to sit on straw mats on the floor and to remove one’s shoes before entering the house. However, the officer and his family lived in government quarters naturally furnished Western style. Many Japanese now wear Western dress, especially the young people but, at home Mrs. Coble wears a kimono as her husband likes this pretty dress which is elaborate and colorful.The tion fj the su ed theJune 1 Bill dent, s goals year, operat groupgreate:ed.He officer; Mrs. I Mrs. G Girl Calvindevotio theme, Music Folio ents viMrIsTHE OFFICER admired the beauty of the countryside and he spoke of the low lands all in rice fields.
