These will be DUR police. A great

men disarmed. Other nations must

After many years of aduo-

air. This great army and navy

Gold to Be Had in City's
Streets for the Digging

Digging for gold in the street
with penknives is not a sign of
lunacy in Kalgoorlie, Western
Australia. Prospectors walking
through the main thoroughfare of
Hannah street sometimes notice
cleaning patches of gold in the
pavements and stoop to chip out
pieces with their knives.
The explanation given is that
when, in 1899, the municipal coun-
Gil sought a suitable mixture of
metal and concrete, they bought
ore from the Golden Zone Mine
at one shilling a ton. While the
ore carried four pennyweights of
gold to the ton, it was improbable
to recover it, but now the tread
of thousands of feet has worn the
pavements till bits of gold in the
ore have begun to show.

Girdles Still Scarce

Synthetic rubber is slowly becom~
ing available for manufacture of CIR.
dies. but larger quantities of synthe.
tic rubber than natural rubber are
required to make the same amount
of elastic thread. Also the supply Of
cotton fabric is still exceedingly
short. All this makes it necessary
that you get as much wear as pos
sible from the girdle you now have.
Wash it frequently with the same
care you would give your best hose,
and dry it away from direct con.
tact with any radiator.

of the intricate invasion plan, enough
supplies to feed them, too!
During our first afternoon on Oki-
nawa my group Of marines went
about a mile and a half inland. Our
vehicles were not ashore yet, so we
had to pack on our backs everything
we had.
Personally, I was overladen as
usual. I had two canteens, a mu-
settle bag, a blanket rolled up in a
poncho, three rubber life preserv-
ers, a shovel, and assorted knives,
first aid kits, etc. Furthermore, I
had on two pairs Of pants, was car
rying two jackets, and it was hotter
than hell.
Anyhow, we finally got where we
were going. We stopped on a hill
side. threw down u gear, connect
ed our phones to wires on the
ground, and were ready for bust
ness. That is. the others were. Me,
I lay down on the grass and rested

beaches-I think they're Pandanus
bushes. But there are also many
trees of the fir family with horizon
tai limbs.
The country over which my regi-
ment passed during the first two
days was cultivated. 1t rose gradu-
ally from the sea and was all
formed into small fields.
1t didn't look at all unlike Indiana
in late summer when things have
started to turn dry and brown, ex-
cept that the fields were much
smaller.
The wheat, which looks just like
ours, is dead ripe in the fields now.
The marines are cutting it with little
sickles. In other fields are cane and
sweet potatoes.
Each field has a ditch around its
edge, and dividing the fields are lit
tie ridges about two feet wide. On
top Of the ridges are paths where
the people walk. All through the
country are little dirt lanes and
now and then a fairly decent gravel
road.
As you get inland, the country be-
comes rougher. In the hills there
is less cultivation and more trees.
It is really a pretty country. We
had read about what a worthless
place Okinawa was, but I think most
of us have been surprised about how
pretty it is.

Poverty and Filth
Continue Together

Okinawa civilians we bring in are
pitiful. The only ones left seem to
be real old or real young. And they
all are very, very poor.
They're not very clean. And their
homes are utterly filthy. Over and
over you hear marines say, This
could be a nice country if the people
weren't so dirty"
Obviously their living standard is
low. Yet I've never understood why
poverty and filth need to be synony-
nous. A person doesn't have to be
well off to get clean. But appar.
emily he has to be well off to want
to keep clean. We've found it that
way clear around the world. The

But there are always people who

Finds Nice Spot
To Go to Sleep

After that we began getting ready
for the night. We figured the Japs
would bomb US all night, that their
artillery would soon start up from
the hills, and that when it got dark,
some slinky infiltrators would start
infiltration.
So we dug foxholes. The slope
was so steep I chose a nice depres-
sion at the foot Of a small embank-
ment that didn't require much dig
ging.

blown-up preservers.
Everybody who wasn't on guard
at the edge Of our little camp, or
who wasn't standing duty at the field
telephones went to bed, for in Jap
country you don't move around at
night unless you have to.
Going to bed was merely a figure
Of speech for everybody except me.
I seemed to be the only one who
had brought a blanket and I def
initely was the only one who had
nice soft life p~reservers to sleep on.
The others slept on the ground in
their foxholes with their ponchos
wrapped around them. A poncho is
wind and waterproof. but it has no
warmth. In fact, it seems to draw
all the warmth out Of your body and
transmit it into the air.
The day had been hot, but the
