Pvt. William H. Cervantes
Somewhere in New Guinea
Dear Memo:
Received your nice letter and got
lot of laughs out of it. One thing
that's sure: this thing hasn't
caused you to lose your sense OF
hun1or. And another thing, from
the tone of the letters get from
you guys at New Guinea, all saying
what swell place it is, it looks like
the New Guinea Chamber of Com
merce is getting in its licks on you.
You say the place is just dripping
with sunshine. Well, for your
information, this country is begin
ming to drip with moonshine-yep
"licker" is getting scarce and scum
my.
Notice you mention the big mos
uuitos there. That reminds me of
my old man when he came over
from Ireland about go years ago.
The first night after he arrived
in America, due to conditions be-
yond his control ol-meaning the
price Of a room-he and his pal
Malachi McGinnis had to pick out
a nice place on the docks TO go to
sleep. But the mosquitoes were so
tough. he said to Malachi, Lets
look for another place to sleep
So they moved up to Central Park
and picked out a couple of nice
benches and dozed off to sleep.
Well, the mosquitoes still bothered
them. They twisted and they turn
ed for hours. Just about that time
my old man saw a bunch of fire
/ flies or glow worms-whatever you
call them-and he sez to Malachi ::
Let's get the hell outta here. The
other place was bad enough with
thin mosquitoes but by golly, here
they look for you with a lantern. -

The new coach has one of the
finest looking bunch of experienced

cent years.

mold his team around, Beazley
should develop a very fast, hard

ALL IN A DAY

The ingredients Of Wedding
Day by Edna Moser (Duell,
Sloan & Pearce: 50 500, are the
events IN the life of a single
family brought to boil on the
day that the youngest daughter
is to be married.
Eugenia Fersen is still beau
tiful woman at 81, apparently
cold, calculating, intent only on
appearances. Her husbands love
was lost to~er on his return
from World War !, her superb
ciality unable to bridge the
chasm from her narrow, domes-
! tic world to the broader one he
! has just discovered. The violent
quarrels of first readjustmert
gradually subside into the inn
personal tranquility of two peo-
pie who remain together for
convenience but who are no
longer intimate.
On Mary's wedding day. Eu-
genia learns that her son, Jack,
may be in a combat area cap
tured by the enemy, that her
daughter. Phyllis, was never
really married TO the man who
is the father Of her child, and
that the bride herself has run
away, presumably with an old
sweetheart.
Through il all Eugenia keeps
her poise, She handles her hus-
band, her family, the servants
and various strangers attendant
on the wedding as though moth
ing were wrong. And therein
the author voices her plea for
her character. Underneath ev-
erything. she is really fright
cned, confused and lonely Wo-
man who can't understand the
people with whom she has TO
deal. or the crises with which
she is faced. She can only act
as she thinks best. And before
the day is over she has uncon-
consciously rebuilt her own hap
piness and that of those dear to
her.
