AmericonDentist of Hong Kong
Tells of Ordeal in jap Prison !

, ures on the part of the guards In
their efforts to show their racial su-
periority.
DR.. Sommers, who married Miss
Ethel Saffold. sister OF the late
DR.. Guy Stark Saffold OF this city,
returned on the Gripsholm. Mrs.
Sommers was sent home by clipper

From May until December, le47,
Mrs. Sommers did not know whether
her husband was dead or alive.
Then through the State Department
she learned of his fate.
The marriage of DR.. Sommers and
Miss Saffold of Washington was the
result OF Hong Kong romance. She
went to Hong Kong In the consular
service In 1925. They met when she
helped him to file his application for
new passport. His papers had been
destroyed by fire. Their friendship
developed into marriage within .

special research work In dentistry.
The only possession saved from their
Hong Kong days is box OF old jap
anese china, which Mrs. Sommers
had sent out OF the country before
the Japanese invasion.
Mrs. Sommers was one OF four
women who organized the Womenis
International Club in Hong Kong
for American and European work
ing girls and was its secretary
treasurer. For five years Mrs. Som
mers also was the secretary of Hong
kong's American and European
Benevolent Society, which minister
/ to the poor under a British grant.
Just before she left Hong Kong she
had dispensed over $4,000 in this
cause in the current year.
In addition to being a member
Of the Library Committee which Sc
lected the books for the American
Club in Hong Kong Mrs. Sommers
for 10 years was a member of the
Executive Board of the Helena May

The Travellers Notebook
BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, Jr.

The principle of vacations, and
such travel as is necessary to full
fill them, has survived its greatest
transportation test. The summer,
now waning, was to tell the story
whether a complicated system of
travel priorities, susceptible to
abuses and injuries. was to be i'm
posed on a public educated to the
luxury of meandering when and
where it pleased.
Early last spring. Government
agencies, railroads and bus lines
looked with apprehension toward
the peak migration months of
June, July and August. Two poll
cies were considered-travel ration
ing and public cooperation. The
latter policy was decided on and
tried, after warnings that rationing
was distinct possibility.
Commenting recently on the situ-
alton, Don Thomas of Southern
California, president of the Ma
tional Association of Travel OFF,
cials, said:
1T is encouraging to see the way
the Government has continued to
support vacations as necessary in
wartime. For decades we have
taught the public the delights of
travel. 1t was difficult to slam
gears in reverse and say, Don't
travel But it was done because it
had to be-"
Although train and bus services
even now are burdened with their
greatest load in history, the Coop
Grafton of Americans in denying
themselves extensive junkets vir-
tually has eliminated the possibility
of travel rationing Joseph East
man of ODT has confirmed the fore
cast there will be none this year.
But the principles that so far have
permitted the public the choice of
travelling or not still hold good
Foremost, they are these:

May road, was the first news DR..
H. F. Sommers, Hong Kong's lead
Ing American dentist, had of the
city's fall.
He scarcely realized that a peace
ful era had ended and reign of
Japanese conquest and subjugation
had begun.
When Japanese banker took
possession of his home, DR.. Sommers,

Chinese brothel which had never

persons.
Subsequently, with many prison.

ferred to the Stanley Prison, where
ne was held for seven months.
During this period Of his imprison-
ment he underwent major opera
ton at the hands of two English
surgeons, DR.. E. Kirk and DR.. Ken

form a perfect surgical procedure
with only a tiny hot plate on which

their instruments. Both surgeons
were fellow prisoners.

have had no choice but to sleep on

When DR.. Sommers was transferred
to Stanley Prison he dragged his
mattress along on his back.
During his convalescence his

mattress out into the sunshine OF
the prison courtyard and back into
the prison at night.

Snyder Makes Report.
A report submitted to Maj aj-Gen
Philip B. Fleming, administrator of

War Public Works, outlines huge
projects in the Hampton Roads area
of Virginia, serving Norfolk. Ports

and other vital war projects," Mr..
Snyder said.
FWA allocated funds for the con-
struction of two huge reinforced
concrete pipelines to bring water
to the Hampton Roads area from
two Of Virginia's s inland rivers, the
Chickahominy and the Nottoway.
The enormous influx of war workers
and military personnel in that area
in the months following the attack
on Pearl Harbor created a problem
with which local communities. were

The gravity Of the situation there
was Intensified by prolong e d

pipelines will assure a dependable
year-around water supply.
Substitutes for critical materials
have been employed wherever pos
sible. The new reservoir at Ports
mouth, Va, is an interesting exam
pie, FWA said, of the use of groined
arches and gravity walls to support
the concrete roof, which rests on
unreinforced concrete columns. This
type of construction, first developed
by early Roman engineers and per-
fected by builders in the Middle
Ages, has been employed success
fully in the construction Of a num-
Der of concrete reservoirs.
