Thanksgiving at willmar-

With the personnel of their FAM
lily widely scattered in distinct por-
tons of the globe-under circum-
stances that are as varying, Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Domke today,
Thanksgiving, were observing the
day with relatives in Willmar while
their two sons were abroad.
Mr.. and Mrs. Domke are here in
mildly winterized Minnesota.
Nearly 5000 miles away across the
Pacific is a son, Clifford, student
teacher from Carleton College, driv-
en- south from his original station
in the relentless push of the invad-
ing Japanese.
Contrasting both of these pic
tures-in climate and state of exist
ence-is the set for their son, Fay.
He is in the lazy chimes of the sub
tropics, the peaceful island para
disc, of the Hawaiias.
Only two days before Thanksgiv-
ing, Mrs. Domke said, she had
heard from Fay. He is attending
the University Of Hawaii, working,
getting along well.
Things are different with Clifford
There has been no word since late
in September. This summer he was
edged southwark again before the
Japanese drives. Now with the
Japanese in greater control, she be-
lieves mails are tied even more
strongly than before.
For Fay it's his first Thanksgiv-
ing Day so far from home. For
Clifford it's his second in the Orient
and the past year and half has
been one of constant moving, al
ways ahead Of the Japanese mill
tary machine.
But it's a different picture this
year. His parents know he Is safe
Last year they knew only he was
somewhere in China. On the day
they were preparing a Christmas
box, a message from the American
Board halted the preparations. Cliff
ford and Jack Cation, another Carl
eton student, had left Shansi, Nov
.ember 7th, headed south with thous-
= Of Chinese refugees. So last
wear in hasty evacuation, now he is
reasonably secure in Sian.
