BOURNEMOUTH, Eng.-R-
Here is a soldiers Utopia where
GI's live in $40 day luxury no
tells for 20 cents a night.
They play and swim on seven
miles of sandy English Channel
beach, stay out all night if they
wish and sleep as late as they like.

member, you are a visitor-and a
gentleman.
Since We Day this famous Eng
lish Riviera resort city Of 116,O0(
on the Southeast coast has become
playground for American troops
waiting for transportation back to
the United States and leave cen
ter for those still on duty in Eng
land, France and Germany.
Many of the guests are liberated
prisoners of war who are regain
ing weight and are getting chance
to play on Army time before re
turning home.
With the cooperation and back
ing of the Army, the American Rec
Cross has taken over IL of the
largest, most luxurious hotels or
the high, picturesque cliffs over
looking the sea. They are run as
private clubs for all ranks but the
only thing military about the place
is the uniforms.
It is the closest thing to civilian
life that it is possible 10 find in the
Army. That is what the soldiers
like about it, says Pvt. James Gil
mour, Philadelphia, Pa, Airborne
infantryman who landed in Nor
mandy on D-Day.
TT is a beautiful place and a
good spot to come to forget about
the Army adds Sgt. Sylvester
scrocco, Youngstown, Ohio, who
was wounded at Aachen. Sgt.
Jack Massena, North Tarrytown,

and wounded five times, readily
agrees.

JAYCEES ALL SET
FOR PAPER DRIVE

In an effort to better Its RECORD
Of approximately $4,000 pounds,
the Wilmington Junior Chamber
of Commerce will launch another
scrap paper drive Sunday. IN the
hope of passing collection goal
of 100000 pounds of waste paper:
Sundays drive will cover all OF
the city, the suburbs, both beaches,
including Harbor Island, and other
parts of New Hanover county.
Residents are urged to have their
scrap paper placed outside by
1890 a. m. Campaign Chairman
Cy johnson last night asked people
to have corrugated paper, maya
zines and ordinary paper, such as
newspapers, tied in separate
bundles.
In order that the largest amount
of scrap paper possible be col
lected, a special effort is being
made this time for people to salv-
age odd pieces of scrap paper,
such as enveloes, letter sheets
and so on, which can be packed
in boxes.
@-lnson again reminded citizens
s9af waste paper is still on the
1T of the count1y's most critical
shortages, and is vitality needed
for the war effort.
Proceeds of the scrap paper
canvass will 60 the Jaycee's Ex-
ternal Activities fund, which in
cludes serviceman rehabilitation.
Collection headquarters for the
drive will be the Nprth-Smlth
Coal Co., at Sixth and Campbell
streets. Twenty-one trucks will be
used to cover the collection area.
They have been provided by the
following concerns:

Uncle Roy's Corner

Astronomy is one of the most
popular subjects, if may judge by
the letters which come to me each
time I speak about stars or comets.
In 1882 I wrote about the Great
Comet of 1858 and something like a
dozen readers wrote from different
parts of the continent to tell me
they had seen it personally. Those
readers were between 80 and IS
years old.
About a year ago I mentioned the
Great Comet of 1882 and the re-
Spouse was even greater. with scores
of men and women telling me they
had seen that beautiful sight dur
ing their childhood.
The past January we had series
which was chiefly on the solar sys-
tenn and wish you could read all
the letters about astronomy which
have come to my desk since then.
What is the bright star in the
western skye" has been a favorite
question.
The bright star" is the planet
Venus, which of late has been glow
ing in the evening sky with more
NJ lSllUIltSS tIldu USUAL.
Planets are smaller than the true
stars, but some of them appear to
be larger and brighter because they
are not so far away. On clear eve
nings during the past several weeks
Venus has been a sight to behold,
being several times as bright as
any true star.
Mr.. F. H. L. writes.
You recently stated. in one of
your interesting articles, that the
speed of the earth was Is miles per
second. At that rate I figure the
earth would make six and q half
fraction revolutions each "a hours.
When I was in school / was taught
that the earth made one revolution
each "a hours"
In my article spoke of the speed
of the earth as it goes around the
sun in the trip which makes one
year each time it takes place. In
that trip the speed is about Is miles
a second.
Mr.. F. H. L. was thinking of
different motion, the rotation or
spinning motion of the earth which
gives us day and night. The earth
turns around 1865 and a fraction
times while it is making one COM
plete yearly journey.

American Marines Fascinated by Life
IN nce-TrOublesOme City of Tientsin

, war-the birthplace Of the epic
conflict which ranged the reach
es of the worlds mightiest
ocean.
And Marines in this area,
where in 1887 the japanese
commenced their ill-starred
arch of conquest through Asia
and the Pacific. are finding a
land of ageless history, deep
fascination - and a future ot
promise.
Tientsin and all Of North Chi
ma has been changed vastly by
the more than eight years Of war
il has experienced. More than
100000 Japanese troops were
in the area when the Marines
moved in, but they are rapidly
being demobllized and shipped
back TO Japan. Signs of their oc-
cupation remain, however, and
are in evidence almost every
where one looks.
Marines landing here were, In
many cases, surprised at their
first sights of the local Chinese.
Instead OF small Charlie Chan
like" characters. they found
tall, handsome men of approx
mately the same size as Ameri-
cans. The women usually are
tiny but some are definitely of
the "slim, trim and beautiful"
category. However, the years of
war and hardship under the
japanese has left virtually all
of the Chinese under-fed and ILL
clothed.
Marines, many Of them for the
first time in more than two
years duty in the Pacific, are
finding liberty sport" here. 1t
is nothing like the States-but
1t has the ring Of pleasure
paradise compared to Guadalca-
nal. Peleliu, Guam and Okina-
wa where these men of the First
Marine Division and the Third
Amphibious Corps have trained
and fought during the past "a
months. For despite the war, the
Chinese have maintained res
taurants and places of amuse-
ment. Many of the so-called Chi
nese food delicacies-such as

-(P)- Prison terms of eleven

vocate plural marriage will be
terminated Dec. Is by the Utah
Board of Pardons over the pro-

predicted the men would return
to their total of IS wives.
The board has stipulated the
men must live only with their
legal wives in houses separate
from those occupied by the other
spouses and children of the
latter. Also they must try to
support the remaining wives and
children which, with their legal
offspring, total 287.

fried beetles, live shrimp and
the like-are not in too great
demand by the Americans. But
the Leathernecks are consuming
their share Of noodles, Chinese
scrambled eggs. rice. green cab
bage, bean curd, brown fish and
the various wines.
The Marines are finding Chi
nese women much TO their llk-
/ ing in many instances. The pref
/ tier ones have legs that are neat
and shapely and the Chinese can
dress in an alluring manner.
There are no rules preventing
"fraternization," but the ancient
time -honored aspects of the
Chinese male-female viewpoint
has kept intermingling of Ma
rines and Chinese women to a
minimum. However, many Ma
rines are being invited to Chi
nese homes for dinner and other
festive occurrences.
FOOD AND FUN
There are hundreds OF thea
ters in the city. but few are
movie houses. Motion pictures
that are shown were made long
before the war Although most
come from Hollywood, Chinese
sound has been dubbed-in or
Chinese tiles superimposed on
the films. Americans attend the
native theaters usually as a mat
7 ter of curiosity and what they
find is something vastly differ
ent than the Occidental concept
of such amusements. People eat
hot food brought by walters dur
ing the performance. They crack
sun flower seeds between their
teeth, drink pots and pots of tea,
talk, play with their children,
and generally enjoy themselves
more than they do the ancient
plays and vaudeville-type acts
that constitute the performance
itself.
VAST RESOURCES
Tientsn, itself, is a paradox of
the very old and the new. AL
ways the major commercial
center Of North China, it was
greatly exploited by the Japa-
nese. who controlled much of its
industry even before the war.
The site of vast manufacturing
plants and a modern business
section, Tientsin's residential
areas are crowded, diseases-rid-
den and ancient. Open drains
and outhouses characterize
much of the plumbing facilities
and the streets are narrow and
dirty.
Prior to the war, this was a
cosmopolitan center with large
British. Japanese, French, Bel
gian, Italian. Russian, German
and American concessions
These still remain in effect, but
The daily monitor leader., 1945-11-27

all have suffered serious effects
wrought by the war-all, that Is,
save the Japanese concession
which was used as the head
quarters of the military. Ford,
General Motors and the Chrys-
ler Corporation maintained
plants here before the war and
the Standard Oil Company and
other American petroleum in
terests had large holdings. The
city boasted of two English-lan-
guage newspapers.
Tientsin is the gateway to po-
tential and vast mineral riches
which are, as yet, untapped. In
the Loess Highlands of North
west China can be found gold,
silver, tin, iron. coal and virtu-
ally every type of mineral.
These resources have not been
developed in the past because
of a lack of industrial and engi-
neering facilities and poor
transportation system. But the
Chinese are looking forward to
a new era-a new birth for their
great and glorious country.
North China. itself, is not new
TO the Marine Corps. Before the
war, virtually every Leather.
neck did a tour Of duty at Tient-
sin, Peiping or Shanghai. But to
the men of the Corps who have
seen nothing but the jungles OF
the southwest Pacific and the
atolls of the Central Pacific, this
is the best, most enjoyable part
of their service careers.
And the Chinese, always
friendly to the Yanks, are con-
vincing the Marines that the
best passport they can have is:

can"
