MANY people wonder at the long
delay of mail both to and from

much the same as usually holds
true in the army-all too frequent
changes in address. once a man
reaches his permanent camp and
his mail starts, it comes through
quite well thereafter Personal par
GELS are now coming through very
well. AL Air Force letters, no

that might be sent. Other things
that might come in handy are sew

of pictures and photographs of the

they do about themselves.

man prisons bearing the regular
60-day labels should be packed ard
sent this month. Special cartons
have been promised for these and
other next of kin parcels. And as
soon as they arrive notices will
be sent out. Some things repeated
ly asked for in prisoners of war
letters are plastic knives, forks,
spoons, and cups. Beverage mate
rails are also much desired.

short account of conditions yet to

ported that the boys get Japanese
food which consists largely Of rice.
They receive bread once in about
ten days. OF course, there are the
foodstuffs which the R e d Cross
provides, and understand that the
boys had received some of them.
THE boys in the camps are ex-
pected to do some work on the
outside. Some handle freight; 9TH

from the priest that the boys are
not driven very hard. In fact,
there seems to be no actual mis-

have themselves, the men in.
