Receive
Japanese Flag

William A. Scatena is soon to re-
ceive a japanese flag, according to
the following letter, dated Jan. goth,
from his son, William A. Scatena,
Jr., who is in the Philippines:
Dear Dad: Got some good news
for you: Yesterday got a flag for
you-pure silk, large, and its really
lulu. It was given to me by one
of the Filipino Guerrillas who picked
it up on Christmas Day during an
air battle when one of the Nips
came floating down out of the sky
with the flag draped around his
middle.
LAS a matter of fact, 1 got two of
them but gave the other away as it
had several saber slashes in it and
was in bad shape But yours is in
tact-complete with draw strings
and bits of paper good-luck charms
cewed in the hem. Am sending it as
soon as our postal facilities catch
up with u.s. Things are pretty tough
but not too much So Up to now
have been lucky as hell. Hope it
keeps up"

located.
Traps mile large consist of a
large funnel going into three sue

Restoration areas are carefully
selected where species formerly
ranged and the food and water are
plentiful. Then federal trappers go

conditions.
Money spent by sportsmen from
tax on firearms and ammunition
goes into fund that makes it pos
sible for the restocking program.
Public cooperation is necessary for
