THE BEST THING to do when

private property and the super

it towed to a large garage when
they found it blocking other
parked cars. ~. The man re-

Mr.. and Mrs C. E. Van Sickle
son-in-law and daughter of Maj
Gen. Myron C. Cramer, Judge Ad
vocate General of the Army, and
Mrs. Cramer, are back in Washing
ton after seemingly endless years OF
internment under the Japanese in
the Philippines, and much more
anxious to talk about the future
than about the immediate past.
Mr.. Van Sickle, who was with
the International Harvester Co.
and travelling in the Far East, said
his immediate plans are to go to
his home on the Ohio River "and
watch that river flow until it stops
flowing"
The first news of the release of
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Sickle reached
Gen. Cramer and his wife from The
Star and the Van Sickles first
learned that the family in the
United States knew of their safety
through reading an overseas edi-
ton of The Star which reached
camp with American soldiers.

Mr.. and Mrs, Van Sickle left for

before the attack on Pearl Harbor
He got the last Clipper from Hong
kong to Manila.
Interned in Santo Tomas, where
almost 1000 civilians were sent. Mr.
Van Sickle lost 81 pounds and his
wife 10 pounds, which she has re-
gained. They were at the intern
ment camp from early 1912 until
their liberation in February of this
year, except for 10 months in an
outside hospital. Mr.. Van Sickle
had asthma, but he doesn't have too
high regard for japanese doctors
because they listen to your lung even
if you have broken leg, he said.
What of life in the camp? Mrs.
Van Sickle summed it up by saying
it was Just a case of eventual star
vation," with men losing more weight
than women. They were given rice
and water, bits of corn. In the first
six months they received nothing
