JAPAN has many fine and wonderful things. It has a friendly people. It has charming and colorful customs. It has enchanting shrines and temples. It has the saintly and majestic Mt. Fuji. It has all of these and many, many more, but there is one thing it does not have.

And that is a blonde.

All the Japanese are brunettes. Their hair and their eyes are dark and their complexion is ruddy. They are a handsome people and there are as many beautiful girls in Japan as there are in any other country, but the fact remains - there are no blondes.

Unless the serviceman is stationed near the large cities, where WACs, DACs and American dependents are based, he never sees a blonde. When he gets back home and does see a girl with flowing white tresses, he is inclined to stare because she has become a very strange - and a very welcome - sight.
