SAMOA (By Marines sta
toned here easily adjust them
selves to the islands social life.
For entertainment, the marines
usually confine themselves to movies,
an occasional walk through the
streets or hills of Pago Pago and
swim in the fresh water pools in
the mountains. Now and then they
are dinner guests of the Samoan
natives.
There are few level plains on the
Island of Tutuila, the largest island
of the America Samoa group, but
on Sunday afternoons the Leather
necks choose teams to play softball.
Marines regard Samoans as being
very attractive, tall, well built, with
pleasing feataures and manners. The
Samoans commend themselves to
the good opinions of all who meet
them.
The Samoans are true Polyne-
slams, probably the finest physical
specimens of the race. Their skin
is light reddish brown. Their hair
is black and soft
Occasionally the Samoan girls
hold dance in one of the native
'fales" or huts. The fales" have
wooden floors sprinkled with pow
der. Every one is invited. Chill
dren and old folks watch the Sa-
moan girls strut their stuff. They
dance barefoot.
The dancing is exceptionally good,
and In order to be the belle of the
ball each Samoan girl takes great
pride in learning new "jitterbug
steps" to exhibit to the members of
her village.
Music for the dance is usually
furnished by four or five Samoans
with guitars and one with a trumpet
or saxophone
The marines are popular with
Samoans The Leathernecks are
| continually invited to Samoan
''fales" for dinner. The natives take
greaat pride in tempting marines
with foods they never dreamed ex-
listed. Samoan youths have gen.
orally one ambition in life-not to
become an engineer, a fireman or a
lion-tamer but to become a United
States marine.
