Dotty Writes About
Jap Sanitary Conditions
Dear Risleys:
Will you please change Dorothy
Gilbert’s address for the Dallas
Post? It is now 307th General
Hospital, A.P.0. 660 C/O Postmas-
ter, San Francisco, ‘California.
_ She is settled now in Osaka, Jap-
an and says, “We are living on the
Sth floor of a large Japanese hos-
pital. It has a lot of repairs to be
done yet, . . . but otherwise it is
a beautiful place . . . This hospital
used to be a Red Cross hospital
and was later taken over by the
Jap government. When the 307tth
arrived they took over, discharged
the patients and started to clean
up. It must have been a horrible
mess. The patients’ families
brought food any time they wanted
to and cooked it in the diet kit-
chen on charcoal stoves. [There
were numerous rats because of the
large amount of refuse in the kit-
chens. The plumbing was terrible
—the Japs never bothered to repair
anything. The reason we have mo
heat is that the steam plant has
to be made over to conform to our
standards . . .
I don’t know if they will ever
get rid of tthe smell around the
place . . . How a people can be
so artistic and at the same time
so filthy I don’t see. It’s easy to
see that they do have an artistic
sense and love beauty, but I can’t
see that anything is beautiful that
isn’t clean . . . Maybe the people
will learn about cleaniness from
our example. I hope so. We
warmed water in our helmets in
the sun and took baths. I will
admit the Japs save themselves a
lot of trouble by being dirty! Maybe
they aren’t dirty personally—they
do use bath tubs, but they don’t
pay any attention to sewage dis-
posal, that’s certain. We aren't
allowed to drink' the city water.
There is a Lister bag set up for
us. I'll bet the U.S.A. is the most
sanitary country in the world. And
the most discontented. If a drain
is stopped up or something wrong
with the plumbing, we want it
fixed, but quick . . . We should
make all our flag standards from
water pipe as a national symbol!”
Dotty is always inventing cute
ways to send us her love. Can you
beat this one? ‘“‘Oodles and oodles
of love. A kiss for every cake of
