Dear Mr. Schroll,
I wish to thank you for the Mount
Joy Bulletin which I am receiving
regular now. I really enjoy reading
abcut the happenings of Mount Joy
and what the people back there are
doing to kelp win this war. Let it
never be said that the people of
Mount Joy did not do their share to
help win this war.
I also enjoy reading about the
boys in the service and the jokes of
the Wise Owl. The Wise Owl col-
umn is very popular with my bud-
dies here at this camp. We all look
forward to the paper every week.
Again I want to thank you for the
wonderful paper.
Sincerely,

When 1 was sent here I first spent
a few weeks on the island of Ka
Nai, which is called the Garden Is-
land, because so many various
kinds of flowers grow there. The
island as a whole is very beautiful.
The races on this island vary and
consists mainly of Japanese (Amer-
“can born), Chinese, Portugese, a
few Hawaiians and a few white
Americans. A few of the crops that
the people raise is sugar cane, rice,
cocoanut, p'neapple and a few ba-

A couple of days ago I had a
ass, and spent the whole day in
Honolulu. The? city itself stands
out among all the other cities on the
island. Honolulu is a city which
has many places of which some his-
torical events took place. During
