A former Imperial Valley resi-
dent, now civilian employee at
the. japanese relocation camp at
Poston, Arizona, has upbraided her
fellow valleyites for their attitude
regarding the release of the in
termed Japanese-Al1ericans, in
letter recently Received by the
BraWley Unit of the Mothers and
wives of Fighters.
Her letter was motivated by a
protest made by the Mothers and
Wives of Fighters to Mrs. Roose-
welt and Secretary Ickes in which
they were definitely opposed to the
release of Japanese from internment
camps.
The letter follows:
"It is with a sense of deep shame
that I read of my fellow Imperial
Valleyites and their un-American
correspondence with Mrs. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Ickes.
War makes lies of all kinds ram.
pant and so often they are so cas-
lily believed. The facts about Jap
anese relocation have been obscur-
ed and lost in the rightful worry
and concern over the Japanese
across the seas which is as far away
TO Americans of japanese ancestry
as it is to us.
You are quoted as saying that
truckloads of ham, bacon and beef
come into the Japanese while good
Americans go without. Indeed it
is true that truckloads of food come
into POSton every week, but are you
aware there are over, $1,000 peo-
pie here? We of the Caucasian per-
sonnel have had ham often, but at
no time has ham been served in the
con about twice monthly and now
that hens are laying again they
have eggs three or four times a
month-no more. YoU see, the
maximum food allowance is as cents
a day. No one receives milk to
drink, except children and pregnant
mothers These Americans of jap
anese ancestry should love to have
the ration cards you suggest, so
that they might choOSe ana prepare
their own meals.
Mothers and Wives of Fighters,
you are proud of your sons and hus-
bands in the service. In the relo-
cation camps there are also moth
ers an5 wives equally proud of sons
and husbands who are fighting for
OUR country even while that coun-
try holds them under suspicion.
They realize the spot they are in
and are convinced that they too
want to fight for democracy even
though they have not been treated
democratically
Mothers and Wives. what kind
OF Americanism is it that forgets
the bond between wives and moth
ers the world over? Since when is
a blond baby superior to the brown
eyed one? And in what way is the

Stranded in Dayton, Ohio after
losing a chorus girl job with the

Wept. If she we're only back home

Cara wept some more. She didn't
even have railroad fare home. Fell

Sure, they'd stake her. She was a
nice kid. Ambitious too. Maybe
she would be a star some day. SO
hey took up a collection and 10 OF
them donated $51.85 to buy her

Cara suggested that she would

Two months after returning to

impressed goth Century-FoX Studio
Talent Scout Ivan Kahn. He took
her to Casting Director Lew Schrei-

Studio executives saw the test and
agreed Cara was terrific. Next day
she signed a long-term contract,
and then made her film debut as

But before Cara Williams in

Finally, last summer, Cara de-

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

Giving special honor to the
fathers who are in service on Faith
er's Day is a nice gesture.
But if all it amounts to is having
them spoken of in glowing terms
it won't mean very much, either to
the men in service or to their wives
and children.
There is one way that a move
ment to honor fathers in service
could amount to more than a lot
of spoken and written words.
That would be for every father
still at home with his family to
adopt" a child whose father is in
service.
Children, growing up in a home
that is temporarily fatherleSs, miss
out on a lot of things.
They miss the thrill of having a
man play with them, of having a
man teach them.
A kid needs a man to take him
to the circus, to help him with his
model airplaneS, to teach him to
fly a kite to take him to the ball
park and give him pointers on the
game.
Mothers aren't much good at
those things, try as hard as they do.
Even when mothers are COM
petent at them kids respect a mans
opinion far more on such things.
So, why couldn't the fathers at
home adopt" the children OF
fathers in service?
It wouldn't be much harder for
Mr.. Brown. who is ticking his own
son to a hall game to take along an
extra kid.
MOTHERS NEED HELP
And it wouldn't be much harder
for Mr.. Smith, who is teaching his
own boy to make model airplanes,
TO get another one interested in
making intricate things with his
hands.
Mothers whose husbands are away
are doing their best to be both
mothers and fathers to their chill
dren. But they need little help.
once in a while. And the fathers
who are still lucky enough to be at
home could so easily give that help.
by way of saying THANK you to
the fathers who are fighting.

Second Best
Man al Wedding
Is Marine Sgt.

CHICAGO, July 8. CUP)-Tech.
Sgt. Thomas Carter, %, really VIII
be second best man at the wedding
today, which may upset society edl-
tors, but that's war for you, gals.
He will be second best man by
virtue of two burly M.P.'s who had
been assigned to find the best
looking marine visiting the Chica-
go's servicemens center.
They found Carter and so the
center, which unknowingly promot-
ed romance at dance, godm0ther-
ed the whole affair to beribboned
finish.
IN JULY
1t was in July of last year that
Sgt. William Hoffman, %, Chicago,
asked Miss Ruth Domke, 10, to
dance. She said nc. Hoffman asked
again. She said no. He asked again.
They're being married late today in
a formal church wedding.
The romance blossomed at the
center.
Now imagine a Hollywood photo
Montage: Marine leaves on train.
Gal weeps. Letters begin flying
through the air. Furlough at Christ
mas time. Marine proposes. Gal &C
cepts. More letters Humming tele-
phone wires. Date set. Calendar
leaves fall. Then came the telegram
couple of days ago from the mar
inc air field at Cherry Point, N. C.
Ruth held the telegram, and her
breath, 10 minutes before opening
it. In war romance is by-product,
and for all she knew maybe Bills
furlough to get married had been
cancelled.
DO SOMETHING
1t wasn't that bad, but it was
bad enough. The Chicago man Bill
had picked for best man was hav-
ing a. misunderstanding with his
appendix. Bill was about ready to
leave. Do something, he pleaded.
Frantically, Ruth thought of
young men eligible to best man to
her Bill. Five, 10, Is, or more. All
in uniform, too. For the first time
Ruth understood this manpoWer
shortage.
In desperation she flew to the
servicemen's center. The nice peo-
pie there helped her meet Bill. May
be they'd help her marry him. They
would.
Tech. Sgt. Thomas Carter, Chad
bourn, N. c., will be best man at
the first wedding he ever attended.
