Luzon Life Is
Different


bv Mr.. and Mrs George Erhard,
Libby. recently from their son, Al
bert. who is stationed IN Luzon
Excerpts of the letter which was
written November Is, Luzon, Con-
cor 9th Bn. APO rs follow
Il will give you brief summary
of what took place on the journey
to the promised land (pure irony.
We did not come anywhere near
Hawaii and our first stop was at
Fniwetok next Leyte, then Luzon,
where / still am and will be for
some time.
Last Sunday one Of the fellows
got jeep and we took off for the
hills. (That was yesterday. We
went out to Batangus province
which is about forty kilometers
| from Manila Most Of the way was
pretty good read through flat coun-
| try with rice and cane fields on both
sides. There was quite bit OF
traffic on the road, especially civil
ian traffic. The civilians have quite
a few cars and trucks most Of which
are pretty beaten up looking. You
don't often see a civilian passenger
car. A lot Of the vehicles were ORR
ginally cars but have been cut down
\ to make trucks out Of them. They
are always loaded down to the full
est capacity with either goods or
passengers and going over these
rough roads is pretty hard on any
thing especially with such a load.
They do have some paved roads that
are not too bad but the majority or
them are in awful shape. BY the
way a note Of some interest is that
| the preWar civilian vehicles are all
right hand drive That is they have
/ the steering wheel on the right side
and were built to 60 on the lett
hand side Of the road. They are get
ting in some new trucks for civilian
use now A lot of regular army
trucks are used by the civilians.
Yesterday saw two new shiny
4 light green cream trimmed Ford
trucks Just like those back in the
States. They were regular left hand
I drive too, SO ! imagine that they
will not 60 back to driving on the
left hand side Of the road after the
Army leaves here. Most of the cars
| need replacing anyway SO they can
start over with the right side Of the
road. Probably most of the army
| vehicles will be eventually sold &c
the Filipinos anyway and they
would be Inconvenience by driving
ION the left side just as the civilians
are now with the old type vehicles
you see lots Of horse drawn We
hicles too. They have these regular
| buggys such as you see in the movies
OF the last century Most Of them
areafixed up pretty nice too. They
are painted real pretty with pol
ished brass kerosene lamps on the
sides. ! got on the wrong lane o.
the street in Manila the other day
, 1t was for civilians only and ! mus
have passed up fifty buggles in one
block. The horses over here are al
real small About the size of
Shetland pony 1t looks like those
carts are quite load for one little
horse but they seem to trot rlgh1
along. On the farms to do the haul
ing they use these OK carts such as
you see in the pictures of China anc
the like. The animals used to pull
these are bigger than COW but witt
shorter legs and real long horns.

Puscugoulo Post
Office Now Selling
New Postui Notes

Postal notes, a new service Of
the money order department of
the post office, went on sale at
the Pascagoula post office Feb
ruary LIST.
I'VE expect the public to ben
eft in time and money by the
new postal notes. Postmaster
Arthur v. Smith stated, .'as the
notes will be a quicker and less
expensive way of sending $40 or
less through the mall
There are no applications to
fill out with the purchase of the
notes, and simplified methods of
bookkeeping and sale make it
possible to handle the notes for
a uniform fee Of 5 cents" the
postmaster said.
Mr.. Smith stated that he ex-
poets the public to take advan-
tage OF the notes, but warned
that persons purchasing the notes
take care in removing their re-
ceipt stubs so that the stub where
stamps are affixed, between the
main postal note and the receipt,
it not detached.
The postmaster explained that
the notes will go on sale at East
lawn and Station / later in the
month.

IN MEMORY or OUR MOTHER
MRS. MARY II w

On this sweet day Of February
One year ago today
You left us and passed away.
We are not very good at poetry
But our memory with others
We like to share.
We are sre you are happy
With loved ones over there
Mother, you always said Don't
Bring your flowers till / am
dead
Though this might be better If
left unsaid.
The flowers we brought each week
of the past year we're not ex-
pensive,
Some with beauty not rare.
Though you could not touch
them
Nor smell their fragrance so fair
We are sure you knew of their
presence there.
Sadly missed by children, Mr..
Jim Ehlers, Mrs. Harry Thomp-
son and Mr.. Bill Ehlers.

A two-hour parking limit on
Delmas and Krebs avenues is
suggested for the benefit of shop

Committee Chairman, Mr.. Vel
eich, checked the cars a few
days ago and found from one to
three cars parked all day in front

lishments.
The city traffic lights were moi
installed in the proper place.
Their present location is confus-
ing both to drivers and pedestri-
ans. More traffic lights are need
ed, particularly on the many
streets that come into Market.
1t is suggested that patrolmen
enforce the 10 : miles : per : hour

ror safety, have stop" signs,
Drive Slowly-SeAool." When a
car is going between signs at the
maximum limit, he should not
be passed by any other vehicle.
On Beach boulevard all cars
should use the north side for
parking, as the middle and south
lanes are for traffic. 1t should be
indicated by signs that cars may
park on north side headed either
east or west.
Freight trains should not block
the three crossings Simultaneous
ly. AT times, traffic has been
blocked at Cedar, Frederic, and
Pascagoula streets, as well as on
the river. Traffic has been stop
ped for as long as Is to 30 min
utes.
If the new street is built, all
shipyard workers should be rout-
ed through it.
Richards Garage on Telephone
road blocks the sidewalk and
street with parked cars and
trucks. 1t is suggested that the
city cooperate with the Highway
Patrol TO clear this.
Other improvements
The Beach needs to be pro-
tected from the growth and
spread of Morris Islands. There
are several spots now that have
a small growth. 1t is suggested
that this be removed by use of a
bulldozer, and when dry, burned
to prevent further spread by
drifting.
1t has been suggested that the
city needs to own a lot with a
warehouse on it to store all
equipment owned by the city.
The lot should be enclosed with
a fence topped by barbed wire.
Adequate lights in the yard are
necessary, and a maintenance
man at all times to check equip
ment in and out. Thus the equip
ment would be easily accessible
when it is urgently needed. The
city should purchase materials
and equipment by bids and re-
QUESTIONS,
It is suggested that the pier at
the Beach might be extended and

Walks are needed by the Lake
