ALI OF us had grown attached to
Donald, so none of the officers at
the picnic were in very receptive
mood when Col. Sasawa stood up
at its end, belched appreciatively,
and launched into an attack on the
Allies. He was particularly abusive
about the United States. In shock

meal than I had seen at one time
since my early days Of captivity
at Manila. What is more, it was
accompanied by vegetables.
We were told that we could
spend 100 yen Of our Prisoner of
War pay each month for cigarets,
even a few cigars, tomato catsup,
soya sauce, tea and sugar. w
would even be given fruit, and we
would not be forced to work II we
did not care to do so.
1t was all too good to be true,
az the enlisted men soon found out.
A few days after our arrival they
were handed the usual chunkers
and ordered to clear land for
farm. But the officers were not
made to work at this time. We sat
by and waited, wondering what the
catch was.
LIKE HAPPY APE
We did not have long to wait.
About week after our arrival we
were visited by a beaming, con-
tented-looking Jap colonel, a men,

of the Taiwan Formosan) Army.
He was almost outrageously
friendly, and looked astonishingly
like benevolent ape.

troduced himself with a vast smile.

asked solicitously. If there's any.
thing on your minds, just let me
know. I will fix it. You can trust
me"
We just looked at him, unable,
to answer, knowing that there
must be method in what was
patiently sheer madness.
Our first couple of weeks at Mu-
ksaq were so quiet, and we had
become so accustomed to work,
that we found ourselves becoming
restless. We had learned from bit
ter experience, too, that We must
be about the business of raising
food. We had been removed from
Tarlac before our vegetables had
half-matured. We had seen most
of our painfully raised goats taken
from us at Karenko, just when
they were large enough to be eat
en-, and were permitted to bring
only two Of them on from Tama-
cato - both males.
So we collected money an d
brought ten half-grown hogs and
some chicks. Several of the senior
officers also began small gardens,
planting tomatoes.
We slaughtered the two. goats
shortly after our arrival, for we
were necessarily hungry. The Jap
guard here at Muksaq split our
meat on $3.50 basis, but despite
the fact that few unappetizing
hunks of goat meat were all we
had to show for months Of caring
for what had originally been our
herd, the nutrition was gratefully
received.
Col. Sasawa and his men became
regular visitors and soon dropped
all pretense about their mission in
life.

that.

late C. d. (Dud) Cummings of

the Philippines June 6, 1941, and
when heard from, in a letter to his

was then getting over tropical fever,
was living on rice, and was terribly
thin.

anyone miss his column?"
EDITORS NOTE: We can answer
that question. It is "yes,' but we
can't blame Marty for not writing
when we think of the hot weather
in Sacramento. Marty would be
writing his weekly column regularly
if he we're here enjoying our cool,

misses Marty's column, along with
