'Junk' Jewelry Sees Action In Pacific; Soldiers 'Swap-It!' Today you see a gawdy piece of - jewelry around a coeds neck and tomorrow some soldier in the Pacific islands swaps it with an island native and in return lets the native dig his foxholes. Not quite that fast perhaps, but ten-cent store jewelry has found a newer and more appreciative, audience in the inhabitants of the Pacific islands. Unlike bobby pins, lipstick containers and ice cream desserts, "junk" jewelry makes its appearance at • the fighting front in its original form. Broken or cracked ornaments left in some forgotten clrawer can be left there, however, be cause said pieces of lnxury would only spell "bad spirits" to Island natives. • Jewelry that is still in good condition, though, can not only be sent, to men.: stationed on .the Pacific S'hangra'La's but Wilrper sonally. be swapped . - by our, sol dWrs with ,tyo i§kijietts, In exchange fOr. , a cheap brooch and pair - of earrings, one of our units reports; a native dug 52 foxholes so - that when the. soldiers arrived on the front, protection wps.'already' prepared for them. If a bright shinning reward awaits the natives they will car: ry. the .wounded. on stretchers and .otherwise help the troops in .any wayy pOssible. A few hopeful 'soldiers are dreaming of the .trin kets which will relieve them of KP duty. . The San Francisto League for Servicemen, has launched a -na tion-wide drive for ,contributions of __cheap and imitation jewelry which can - be sent - to •pur forCes•in the •Pacific.
