| FROM FIELDS AFAR
From One of Ours
Dear Myra and Howard,
| Just one year ago today I landed
jon this island of New Guinea. We
have certainly made a lot of im-
provements in that time. Today it
is more like a summer resort, ex-
cept, of course, for the heat. I
believe it will always be too hot
here for white men. But then dur-
ling the past winter the climate was
much like that of the States in the!
summer time. For the past fourl
or five months the days have been.
warm but the nights cool; in fact
so much so that we have had to
{sleep under a blanket.
| Being here in this one spot so
long has made it possible for us to
| have a beautiful area. Have two
| rows of tents with a very wide com-
pany street in the center of which
is a Day Room, a place for writing,
reading, ping pong and listening to
‘the radio. In front of each tent
we have planted two pineappleltrees
and one or two have planted ba-
nana trees. In back of the tents,
| some of us have victory gardens.
|I've already had a crop of radishes,
tomatoes and some lettuce. Around’
my tent I have a beautiful flower
garden from seeds sent me from
i home.
The bakery itself has grown quite
a bit and we're baking lots more
bread than we did a year ago.
Since the day we started giving the
troops here their first taste of fresh
bread, we have yet to disappoint
them. And that’s a record when
you stop to think all we went
through those first six months. Lots
of nights we had to put our ovens
out three and four times. Also
doctor up dough in order that
troops ged: bread... Over here it’s
| the main food.since we don’t always

| you asked quite a few of the Dallas
) As yet I!
[haven't met any of them but I still
{have hopes. If they do come my
way, you can be sure I'll have a
| piece of pie and cake waiting for
: them.
| We now have part of another
baking outfit helping us out and
two of their boys are from Wyom-
ing Valley, one from Luzerne and
the other Hudson.. I did meet a
, boy from Wilkes-Barre about six
months ago who was with a special
| service outfit.
| Speaking of special service, I now
irun a projector machine, showing
! pictures to different outfits three
‘times a week. Lately we have had
some
good first class pictures;

Way”, “Christmas Holiday”, ‘Make
The mail gets faster as time
goes along. I got an air mail letter
from Dallas in eleven days last
week. At first letters by mail took
from eighteen to twenty days. How-
ever, the second class mail is very
slow. I usually get the Posts four
or five at a time. However, I al-
ways enjoy reading them, mostly
for the letters from other GI's.
Since all your boys are now in
service, I see you have a tough
time getting men. I was reading
jan article where you mentioned
women running the big press. I
just couldn’t believe it but then I
guess women are doing a lot of dif-
ferent jobs now.
Well, I must close and get some
sleep. I'll try to write more often.
Do you have Norm's address? I
wrote him several letters c/o Fleet
P. O. San Francisco but they all
came back.
One of the boys,

in August while he was stationed
along the Atlantic coast. A couple
of months later he was transferred
to the Pacific and has been there
ever since. After I received your
