NO. 1 ATTRACTION WITH SOLDIERS
My Goodness, An American Woman!'

"My goodness, an American
woman! Let me hear you
speek a few words of English. -
That's the customary greet
ing given army nurses by
wounded doughboys in North
Africa. So declares 1t. Sylvia
Kaija, who has made two trips
to the dark continent on an
army hospital ship.
"The natives are either
French or Arab" Miss Kaija
said in explaining why the u.
S. fighting men were so eager
to hear "few words of Eng
lish."
Coming from an American girl,
the No. 1 attraction with any dough-
boy ON foreign soil, these 'tfew words"
say more than thousands back home.
Miss Kaija, who is again on duty on
the East coast after visiting for a week
here, declared that people in this
country have no idea what war is like,
or what our boys are going through"
The Ely miner., 1943-03-25

and others had personal cures, like
eating lemondrops, but Miss Kaija was
unwilling to recommend any of them.
Fresh air was the surest, she declared.
The wounded in Africa are first
taken to. evacuation hospitals tents
and cots-at distance from the front.
They are then flown or transported
by ambulance to more distant points,
where they convalesce or await the
ocean vayage home.
1t was during her work on shore that
Miss Kaija became initiated to the
mud Of the African country.
II waded through plenty of it." she
said, and told how the boys on the
battle line had literally wallowed in it,
with no baths for weeks on end.
you appreciate your own country
after being over there" she said.
Miss Kaija, who is the daughter of
Mrs. Hilma Kaija, received her nurses
training at the Mt. Sanai hospital.
Chicago, graduating in 1887. She was
employed in the operating room at Mt.
Sinai after her graduation, and was
then on general duty at number of
places in the South. She enlisted in
the army nurses corps on July q of
last year, and late in the year was as
signed to an army hospital ship.

Corporal Hedloff Injured il
Pacific War Zone; Private
Taylor Jap Prisoner.

An Ely boy has been wound
ed in action in the southwest
Pacific, and a Robinson youth
previously listed as missing on
the Philippines is a prisoner of
war. Both are members of the
marine corps.
Wounded is Cpl. Clarence Hedloff,
81, and the prisoner is Pfc. Claude
A. Taylor, 21. Word concerning
both was received here Friday.
Corporal Hedloff, who was just re-
Gently promoted to his present rank,

his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Archie He'd

letter from washington, said. No de-
tails were given, and his location is
still kept secret.
The Ely youth enlisted in the marine

If they did, the Ely nurse, who has
made two mercy" trips to Africa for
wounded, said, they wouldn't complain
about the Inconvenience of rationing
Besides fighting battles, the dough-
boys get along without many things
that are more or less abundant here.
"The boys eyes pop at the sight of
fresh vegetables and meat" Miss Kaija
said in telling how the patients" re-
act to their first days aboard ship on
the way home.
zone fellow ate six pork chops" she
said. zone of the first things they ask
for is ice cream"
Knowing in advance the cravings Of
the doughboys, the army nurses take
along supply of candy bars, gum and
magazines, which they pass out to the
grateful soldiers.
There's rationing in Africa, too.
Miss Kaija said she understood that
each soldier got a candy bar week
and was limited on cigarets. That was
some time ago, and additional ship
ments of supplies may have remedied
the shortage.
Another thing that was scare was
soap, she said. Lighter flued was in
great demand, and many an army
nurse gave a fill to an appreciative

Did the wounded complain?
They seemed to accept it as their
BOT and said nothing" Miss Kaija
said.
'The boys make fine patients. They
are anxious TO get back home, and one
of their greatest enjoyments was to
hear the latest tunes on the phono-
graph"
strip Polka" and 'The Fuehrer's
Face" were the most popular, she said
and the records were virtually worn
out by repeated playings.
Miss Kaija and the other nurses on
her ship made two trips across the
dangerous waters of the Atlantic, but
she declared that none of US were
frightened" On the way over they
spent their time taking care of the
persons who got sick.
Ely servicemen who may soon be GO
ing overseas were given a word OF
advise on how to avoid sea sickness.
"Stay on deck as much Of the time
az you are permitted to do so and

ladies are now in service and more
are on the way. All of those who
have sent in their names and addresses
to the VFrW or The Miner are getting

ceived weekly tell of the pleasure de-
rived in reading the home news as
can be seen from the Servicemen's COL
umn in the paper. The Miner and the
letters from home are always welcome.

late in getting to the boys overseas,

Red Cross Can Secure
Emergency FurLOughs

Ely parents who may desire that their
sons in the armed forces return home
Immediately in event Of an emergency,
like death in the family, are urged
to work through the local Red Cross
branch in order that delay in securing
the servicemen's departure may be
avoided
In such instances the local chair
man, B. o. Strachan, should be con-
tacted. He will notify the camp Red
Cross director that the servicemen is
needed at home Immediately, and the
camp director will assist the boy in
securing permission to leave from the
commanding officer.
The military authorities require con-
firmation of the emergency before
giving permission to the boy to come
home.
