Odd Friendship
Follows Flyers
| Gifts to Natives
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. ~
y strange friendship between ma
tives of a lonely South Pacific
island and Navy patrol flyers has
developed close bonds though they
never have met.
The Navy told yesterday of the
friendship which developed when
patrol crews began dropping gifts
near native village as they few
over on search for japanese forces.
The gifts were welcome. Soon the
natives began appearing on the
beach as the planes roared over
Then they began writing notes on
the beach with rock and pieces of
wood. One note read:
The great thank to our friend
thanks you we will help you when
we prayers because you helps very
much to us
Cigarettes, candy, food, articles OF
clothing are included among the
packages dropped on the little island
from planes which never have had
time to stop and determine how the
natives learned their meager Eng
lish.
