Staunton, Leader, Thuuy, Aug. 19, 1976 11 Com with French accent Ghost time in Japan brings eerie things VFWC board meeting held in Lynchburg TOKYO (AP) A soft zephyr chills the sweltering nifjht, rustling the leaves of the weeping willows amidst the trickling sound of water. A pale blue light suddenly flashes in the darkness, followed by an eerie moan. Then a pale female face with long, stringy hair lights up like a full moon. A spine-tingling whisper echoes "Woo-rah-meh-shi-ya-a-a!" "Woo-rah-meh-shi-ya-a-a" means spite and woe, and most ghosts in Japan, according to tradition, return during the hot months, seeking sympathy and consolation.

It is ghost time in Japan "one plate, two plates, three plates until he went mad and took his own life. Theaters employ a variety of gimmicks, including lights and sounds, to frighten the audience. There are rising and sinking platforms, floating ghosts, bouncing balls of fire, flashes of lightning and thunder. In the small "yose," or vaudeville houses where the audience is brought close to the stage, the story teller relates his tale, employing the tricks of his trade voice, face, motions suddenly switches off the lights, then turns them on dimly. During the interval he has donned a wig and the mask of a ghost and glowers in the shadow of a glowing flickering candle light, moaning again and, more than ever before, noted Japanese ghosts are making their annual popular appearances in Kabuki plays and vaudeville houses, in movies and television shows and on radio.

Books on ghosts, the occult and fantasy are in great demand as they have been for decades around the time of "Obon," the Buddhist festival for the dead. Among the more popular ghosts is Okiku-san, a young maid who broke one of her master's 10 prize plates. He murdered her with his sword in a fit of anger and tossed her body into a well. On a hot summer night she emerged from the well as a ghost and haunted her master by dropping his treasured ceramics into the well, counting LYNCHBURG The board meeting of the Virginia Federation of Women's Clubs was held Aug. 11-12, at Lynchburg College.

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor Here is a recipe for a Franco-American dish a lovely fresh corn souffle.

Americans usually like the center of a souffle to be firm; the French usually prefer the center a little "runny" so it can serve as a sauce. Fortunately you can test for this crucial point. When you are ready to take the souffle out of the oven, insert a silver knife in the crack into the top. If the knife does not come out clean, the center will be soft. Should you want it firmer, bake the souffle a little longer.

For this souffle fresh corn has to be cut from the cob so it is "creamstyle." There are directions in the recipe for doing this with a sharp knife. But cooks who enjoy beautifully crafted utensils may be interested to know that there is a corn grater, said to be inspired by one used in pre-Revolution-ary days, that does this job fast and efficiently. The grater is expensive ($12.00 plus postage and packing costs from California), but in our kitchen we find it indispensable. FRESH CORN SOUFFLE 3 ears corn, husked 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 cup milk, scalded Salt Vg teaspoon white pepper 5 large eggs, separated With a sharp knife cut off only the tips from the corn kernels; with the back of the knife scrape off the remaining pulp and juice; measure 1 cup of this "creamstyle" corn. In a 2Vi-quart saucepan over low heat, melt the butter; stir in the cornstarch until smooth; remove from heat.

Gradually stir in the milk (1 tablespoon at a time at first), keeping smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Over low heat, stirring constantly, cook until thickened and boiling.
