All roads around here are expected to lead to the old Granny Austin Graveyard, a few miles to the southwest, next Saturday, and the occasion is the long-planned Austin Homecoming-, which is expected to draw several hundred ersons from perhaps 15 or more states.

Beating the traffic in Tokyo is no easy matter, since this sprawling metropolis of 10 million contains at least one million motor vehicles, according to surveys.

As a result, there is not only a frenzy of road building but also a repaving of pot-holed lanes and a clearing of precious space for parking. Everywhere workers are digging tunnels for the subway, laving miles of new telephone lines and sinking concrete foundations. Garish billboards are being torn down, and street names are being posted. Foreigners unable to read Japanese once had to rely on their own radar to get around town or search for weather beaten placards put up by the occupation forces.

It is somewhat shocking to know how many of us have never had a speaking acquaintance or personal friendship with someone in a different ethnic, cultural, racial or educational pattern.

A great aid and comfort to the western tourist is the city information desk in the lobby of the major hotels. These hall porters or concierges of the Orient not only tell visitors where to go but how to get there. Since few Japanese taxi drivers speak English at the moment, the tourist is wise to -have his destination written out in Japanese characters. The doorman at the hotel is accustomed to looking at the paper, and giving the drivers instructions. Many foreigners, incidentally, advise carrying the hotel name in Japanese on a postcard for the return trip.

Thanks to the Olympic onslaught slated for the fall, Tokyo has solved the hotel shortage once so acute in this congested city. Within the last few years, such spacious inns as the Okura, Hilton and New Japan, to name but a few, have opened their doors, while the final touches are being added to others, notably the Otani-Shera-ton with over 1,000 rooms. fpnnnn ML VJlMSg wW PI fKfK yUU 111 11 A HOLLYWOOD SHOPPING CENTER S.

Many old-fashioned "workings" by local relatives and friends, have converted the thicket-covered pioneer graveyard into an attractive modern cemetery. Vines and bushes are gone; excess trees were dozed out; and a nice fence with a circular front of white plank now encloses the site. The few original gravestones have been repaired and reset, and simple new pink markers were set at the graves of unknown people, marked until now only by native sand rocks and cedar stakes. The area was limed, fertilized and sown with rye, blue grass and creeping fescue, and by another season should be almost park-like. A start is made on old-timey shrubs and flowers, to be expanded later to include those known best to the pioneers.

The site and adjoining land presently has 20-odd varieties of trees including redbud and white dogwood. A tree of each variety is to be marked by name, and several ornamental evergreens set last winter have survived the unusual drouth, and other such plantings are scheduled for this fall. Central attraction of the restored graveyard is the impressive memorial monument to the memory of the Charles Austins and their 12 children and spouses. It was erected from donations by more than 200 "Austins Cousins" in some 20 states. The cemetery and monument are to he dedicated The trend is to combine west ern comforts with touches of Oriental opulence, that is, raw silk walls, teak panels and brocaded screens.
