Mr.. and Mrs. C. r. Shilling, 1886
Summit avenue, have received a
very interesting letter from their
son, Pfc. BrondeT c. (Slin) Shilling,
who took part in the invasion of
Leyte and is now in hospital in the
Philippine area.
In his letter, Slim, who landed on
Leyte Island about the last of Octo-
Der with the mechanical cavalry,
assured his parents that although he
had been in combat, he was not in
the hospital as the result of wounds.
What actually happened was, that
he slipped and fell while in the hills
and suffered strained muscles, which
at first was thought to be appended
tbs. In his letter, which was dated
December 20, Slim said that he had
not yet received his Christmas pack
ages, but that IA welcome letters
had just arrived He also mention
, ed that once again, he is seeing
white women and has white nurses.
He writes that the PHILIPPINE girls
are small and somewhat darker than
American girls, but they were sure
good to look at after seeing nothing
but Fuzzy-Wuzzies for so long in
the South Pacific The, Philippine
girls, he said, are neat and clean
and, although they haven't many
clothes, they make the best of what
they have. Most of them speak
English. Leyte Island and the sur
roundings are much the same as
other islands, he said. There is an
abundance of bananas, chickens and
eggs, all of which he has enjoyed
The houses are built of bamboo ana
well constructed and the people are
friendly and kind to the "Yanks"
Slim asked his parents to wish all
his hometown friends, a Merry
Christmas and closed by saying that
his letter was written on Jap paper
, and to please save it for him till
he got home. Friends wishing to
write him may obtain the address
from his parents. Their phone num-
