UPTON CLOSE

THIS Is the island which they
l. regarded as their oyster be-
fore they began this war, the
island where they acquired so
much land by marrying native
women, and the island which a
Jap soldier regarded as the
luckiest place he could be sent
IN the whole war because rice,
fruit and women were so plen-
tiful
Things will be different now
but what's the big surprise
Macarthur is preparing.
Frankly. I think it msy be a
crash right into Hongkong and
Canton.
Or. even more likely, the
mouth of the Yangtze River
that is. Hanchow Shanghai Bay.
So do the Japs. That's the
way they went into China.
Why isn't that the way we
would put them out now that
we have control of the China
Sea and LuZon for base?
Why meet and tussle with
them in jungle areas when we
could just as well go in at the
great ports and bottle up their
river and rail supply system?
GO. WHILE we bomb and fire
~ the five great cities on
Japan's home island of Honshu,

WERE just a hodge-podge of
w soldiers and sailors on this
train. heading for destinations
spread over a distance of a
thousand miles or more. At stop
over points we have a bit of
freedom to move around.
If we were a division we
would be wrapped in a thick
secrecy. The conductor has
been on trips of that nature.
Once, he said. a boy evidently
had found out the schedule and
told his father that he would
be at a certain city at such and
such a time, on the way TO a
port Of embarkation.
AT the midway city a little
old man collared the conductor
and asked, rs this the 91st
Division ?" or whatever the
unit was.
AS a matter of fact, the con-
ductor didn't know the identity
of the division, and said so. The
little. old man was insistent.
He wanted 10 see his son
He was such a frail old gen.
tleman," the conductor told US,
"that / doubt II he was going
to Hive until his boy would get
back home from overseas, so /
asked him what the boys name
was"
HT INQUIRED and sure
L enough they knew the
boy. But they couldn't risk ask
ing permission for the boy to
see his father because, naturally,
the officers would realize that
the boy had talked. So the old
man didn't see his boy and. 1
guess, never knew for sure
whether his son was on the
train"
THE saddest thing I remem-
ber," the conductor went on,
happened around Washington.
One morning a soldier looked
out and said, Say. this part of
the country looks familiar. Hey.
I'm right near home We
passed by his house. IL was
maybe block and a half from
the track and he could see his
mother on the porch, but she
didn't know her son was on the
train passing by, and tears were
streaming down the boys face.
We went on and put the boy on
the boat"
QUITE a lot of men never had
Q ridden on a train before the
war. Doubtless xpe automobile
has had a good deal TO do with
that. Some have been on trains,
but it applies TO older men, too;
even the officers at times.
You'd think" he said, "that
all the officers would know
about things, but they don't. I
remember one In particular who
was getting pretty nervous In

OUTBREAKS OF food poison
" ing in war plants may be-
come an increasing cause o! loss
Of time from work or absentee
ism. However. much can be
done 10 prevent these occur
renceS.
one Of the most common
causes Of these outbreaks Is con-
tamination OF food with germs
known as staphy ylocOCCus aureus
These germs form toxin or
poison. The symptoms occur
within two 10 SIN hours after the
spoiled food is eaten Fever Is
usually not present There are
SickneSSes 81 the stomach vOm-
ting. cramps or pain IN the ab-
domen. and diarrhea The
patient may be Frustrated.
Chllls and sWeats occur IN the
more severe cases The disorder
usually starts suddenly and lasts
only a few hours. The patient
seems TO recover quickly from
the disorder.
Streptococcus germs also may
produce food poisoning The
symptoms are much like those
which occur IN the StaphylO-
Coccus variety However. the
symptoms usually DO not occur
for from ) % rs hours after
the food Is eaten.

tamlnated by them When some
particular food is prepared for
a large group Of people and the
food becomes contaminated IS
careleSsly handled and not prop

large number of persons may
come down with symptoms.
The improper keeping Of food
Is an important factor IN the
production Of the outbreak The
longer the contaminated food is
kept in warm place, the
greater Will be the amount Of
toxin formed IN IT. and thus the
more likely 1t is that those who
eat the food will be affected.

Franklin D. Roosevelt did not
mention his stamp and cover estate
in his will, but a memorandum
addressed to doc" recently has
come to light, showing what the
3ate President really thought of the
king of all hobbies The text of
sthe document reads. II think It is
q grand idea that Sheelagh wants
TO become a philateliSt. First OF
Al1s you should know how to pro-
a1aIlce this. Second as one of the
earliest stamp collectors in the
worlds history, I suggest to her
that she start by specializing. In
The old days so few stamps had been
issued in all the world that one
could collect generally. Specializing
means choosing anything from one
country ZIP to q dozen, or continent.
M Is my own thought that: (a)
Europe is very dull. (b)- too many
people collect United States stamps,
c) the British colonies offer a rather
high priced field. Therefore, If I
were starting over again I think I
would choose either South America
or something like French colonies,
or Dutch colonies or Portuguese
colonies. Or Sheelagh could take
some one country like Cuba, Haiti
or Santo Domingo. AS far as equip
Ihent goes, I would suggest loose
leaf album and ascot catalogue,
some stamp hinges and about $5
worth of mixture, l. e., hundreds of
loose common stamps from the

With the exception Of Edgar
Guest, Service is probably the most
widely read poet" OF our day. His
books, spell Of the Yukon"
Rhymes of a Rolling Stone" and
halt dozen others, have a certain
elementary appeal to which many
people succumb at one age or an
other.
His autobiography should be read
by the people who like his verse. It
Is important as a success story; it
doesn't explain the mystery Of his
popularity but it does explain him.
It's honest and unaffected, a bit
Victorian, with the virtues Of an Al
ger story.
Born In humble circumstances and
brought up in Scotland, he worked
at innumerable he-man jobs, sailed
for Canada and our West, went to
the Yukon as bank clerk and from
there mailed out the manuscript Of
his first book and won instant rec.
ognition. He wrote verse as child.
He still does. CIR.
