Local Boy Describes New Burma Road
In Letter To County Letter League

one six mile hill we averaged less
than two miles an hour going up.
When we did get any kind of a
stretch where we might make time,
we would have to bring the convoy
to a complete stop to cross a flimsy
bridge, or Pontoon bridge where
the old one was knocked out.
Most of the towns in the battle
areas of North Burma are almost
completely RACED. In the center of
one town was the site of temple.
Hardly one clay brick of it rested
in its proper place Amidst the ruins
was twenty-five foot Buddha ap-
parently unscathed.
We found the Burma Road a little
dryer, a little rougher with higher
and sleeper grades. At one place we
were driving for more than five
hours above the clouds. At this
point we were seven thousand feet
up.
Places we would run along the
sides of mountains with about a
foot between us and three thousand
feet to the bottom. We would come
upon some turn which was impos-
sible to make without backing up.
When we began to come to
Chinese towns, the people lined the
streets shouting, Ding How" and
offering us Thumbs up" the
Chinese version of Churchilrs fam
Gus ''V'' for Victory" We were one
of the first conveys to make the trip
over the road since it's opening in
January, 1945. We, in turn, put on
a show for the Chinese with our
fifties stripped and waving at the
sky; but praying that no Zeros
would take part in the display.
When we arrived at our destina-
ton, there was the usual welcome
and speech-making, but, confident
ally, we were more interested in
showers and chow.
This is about all l can say for to-
night Hope you will continue to
send me the monthly letter each
month.

Maryland Included In States Urging
That Jewish Commonwealth Be Set Up

The State Legislatures of Ar
kansas, Indiana, Nevada, Ohio, Ore
gon and Utah today announced the
adoption of pro- Zionist resolutions,
thus bringing to thirty-one the
number of states which have for
mally urged the United States
Government to take appropriate
measures now to open the gates of
Palestine and reconstitute that
country as a Jewish Common
wealth. The thirty-one states rep
resent more than 82Ts of the pop
ulation of the United States.

Roosevelt recently reiterated his
approval of the Zionist program
and that he declared it to be sin &C

Cpl. Jackson E. Wilkins, son of
Mrs. Rebecca B. Pearl, 491 Mitch
ell avenue, in a letter to the Wash
ington County Letter League,
thanking the league for sending
him the monthly letter, gave very
interesting account of the new Bur-
ma Road, known as the Ledo Road,
but more often referred to as the
"Stillwell' Road
Believing that the corporars de-
scription would interest our read
ers, we asked Mr.. Thomas w. Pang-
born, president of the league, aud
his associates, to allow us to pub
lish it and here it is:
China,
March 4, 1945.
Dear Editor:
/ am writing this letter to thank
you for the monthly letter l receiv-
ed each month while in India and
hope to receive now that l am in
China. Maybe, l can give you an
idea of what the Burma Road is
like and hope you never have to
cross it.
We left India by truck and trail
er convoy overloaded with equip
ment and supplies for China We
travelled along the new Ledo Road
to the junction of the Old Burma
Road. Then, across the Himalayas
or the hump" to the interior.
The Ledo Road, you may recall,
was built through the efforts of
Gen. Stilwell and American engin-
GERS as supply route for the Battle
of North Burma, and later connect
ed with the old Burma Road.
The Ledo Road is narrow two
lane road cut over and through
the mountainous North Burma
jungles. 1t has a good bed most of
the way but is clay-topped, making
it slippery as ice when wet, and the
boys up that way tell you that they
will give their beer ration away the
day it doesn't rain. The curves are
sharp and the grades are steep. On

ID. A. K. To Sponsor Two Local Students
Army Navy Projects Receive Diplomas

Mrs. Siegfried Roebling, National
Chairman D. A. r. War Projects
Committee, has just advised Mrs.
Mark E. Reed, Regent of the Como
cocheague Chapter, D. A. R., that
three War Projects which the Sur
geon General of the U. S. Army and
Surgeon General of the U. S. Navy
submitted to the Society for adop-
ton, have been unanimously ap-
proved by the Board of Manage
ment at its meeting on the first of
February, 1945. The projects are
vitality needed and fulfill the last
clause of the 1942-43 Congressional
Resolutions, calling for the pur-
chase of equipment for the saving
of many lives.
The new projects will aid thous-
ands of wounded and sick Army,
Navy and Coast Guard men in re-
gaining their health and will save
the lives of untold numbers.
One of the projects, heartily en-
dorsed by the Surgeon General of
the Army, Major General Norman
T. Kirk, will bring solace and cheer
to the thousands of c.. I. men who
are patients in the great Mayo Cen
eral Hospital at Galesburg, Illinois.
1t is wired program distribution
system, costing $4,000 and is one
of the latest miracles in Radio.
When installed, every service man
in this hospital with 1000 to $500
bed capacity, will have head phones
besides his cot. A gadget with a row
of five buttons, will give him choice
of five programs including the main
speaker-system of the hospital. The
system will also have loud speakers
for general entertainment and edu-
cational purposes, covering the en-
tire hospital General Kirk advis-
ed the D. A. R. that this system, a
needed therapy, is not supplied by
the government, to army hospitals.
The other two projects concern
the U. S. Navy One of them will
provide mobile X-Ray units for six
new hospital ships, two of which
will be completed at an early date.
These mobile X-Ray units can be
moved to various parts of the ship,
and what is more important, they
are so constructed that they can be
taken ashore where they can be
used in isolated places, such as
Pacific Islands, in jungles and on
beaches, for examination of Navy,
Marine Corps and Coast Guard
men. Each unit will cost $4,000.
When the two ships now nearing
completion, put to sea, they will
have these mobile units aboard.
The third project will provide an
other type portable x-Ray unit for
use exclusively on navy hospital
ships. This type can be moved to
any place in the wards and private
