Ask Cooperation
In securing
Veteran Jobs

Since the first of September
there has been a marked increase
in the number of veterans Of this
war returning to Franklin and
Benton counties. The United
States Employment Service in Pas
co feels that this increase will get
larger as the year goes by. So
far, they have been able to give
the necessary information that
the returning veterans desire and
also have been able to find en-
ployment for those who are now
seeking that employment but as
more Of them return there Is 60
ing to be the necessity for q more
concerted effort on the part OF the
employment agencies in this area
in finding employment for these
veterans.
The office feels that this is q
community responsibility and that
if anyone in the community can
give employment to these vet
Grams they should let the EN-
ployment Office know all needs
so that when veteran comes In
we may have a place to refer him.
The statistical reports on vet
Grams in the local USES Office
is as follows:
From the first of September
to the present date the local office
has received notification from dis
charge centers and hospital Of s.
veterans returning to the Pacco
area. Besides these there have
been number of migrant vet
Grams who contacted our local of
flee. The total number OF World
War II veterans contracting the
office during this period has been
81. OF this number 81 were seek
ing employment and were referred
to Job openings in this area. Six
Of the 81 were seeking informa-
ton in regard to other services
or assistance. Twenty-Five OF the
veterans reported were. seeking
information only and were direct
ed to the proper agencies Tor ad-
vice in their problems. The major
ity Of them were seeking voca.
tional guidance for future plans.
Many of the veterans returning
plan on two weeks vacation before
settling down for employment but
il the same ratio return here that
have been arriving in the last
twenty days by the first Of the
year there will be the possibility
that there win be some unem-
ployment among them, 30 let's
the whole community get behind
these veterans and help them e.
tablish their homes in this COM
munity.

Gen. Wainwright Des cribes Trip
From Karenko To Ne1u Jap Prison

I then were ordered to march back
to the train and unload a car OF
tables, chairs, benches and other
furniture for the barracks. This
was piled on our backs and we
carried it to the camp. Some OF
the goats we were raising at Kar-
enko also were led to the new
camp.
! Eight of us, including myself,
were given four small rooms and
nv new roommate was Lieut.. Gen.
Helm terPorrten, commander of the
Netherlands Indies forces. Those
who did not draw single rooms
were badly crowded into large
squad rooms under conditions
about as bad as those at Karenko.
The beatings stopped now, giving
us all a chance to lick our wounds.
But the food remained the same:
rice and hot water with few
vegetable tops for every meal.
But on April IL, in answer to our
prayers, part of the South African
Red Cross stores was sent to us
from Karenko. We had just about
abandoned hope that we would ever
see them again. But, without warn
ing, here they were at Tamazato
food and shoes that had been
snatched from us at Karenko and
which we thought we would never
see again.
We waited two unending days
and nights for the Japs to distrl-
butte the supplies, and I guess all
of us prayed that we would not be
tricked again.
On April IA the Japs began to
parcel out the remains OF the pack
ages. They had unquestionably
opened and stolen much OF the
Red Cross stores, but with the
food and shoes in sight we were
beyond any remorse over what was
not to come to us.
We pitched in, but our systems
were so run down, and the normal
food was so alien to our stomachs
that many of us contracted diarr-

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Nov. 2
uJp)-Two persons were killed to-
day when an automobile collided
with a Greyhound bus eight miles
from here. and several bus pas

The dead were identified by the

hea. That did not matter greatly.
The good the food did us overcame
the rigors of that malady. BY AAiil
%, 1913, one week after the fooo
arrived, my weight had jumped
seven pounds to a little over 1872.
Shoes A Relief
The heavy British Army shoes
which came with the food were a
tremendous relief. We happily dis.
pensed with our Jap clogs with the
fervent hope that we would never
see them again.
When the joy of our little wind.
fall became more memory thar
fact, we received visit from the
Jap representative Of the Interna.
tional Red Cross. The senior Off.
GERS in the prison camp were as.
sembled before him and we told
him, in effect, that we were well
and were being cared for decently.
We told him this because we had
been briefed the previous day by
the new camps commander and
had been told exactly what we
could and could not say. It was a
case, mostly, of what we could
not say. The Jap Red Cross repre-
sentative's visit, therefore, went
for nothing. He chose not to look
at US, standing there in front of
him like slightly mobile skeletons,
but just accepted our optimistic
sounding reports and left.
He was followed in time by 9TH
er Jap agents of the Internation-
al Red Cross and on those occa-
sions the Japs, taking no chances,
forced us to read our reports
from carefully edited written dec
1arations. We could say moth.
ing about the food, which was as
terrible as at Karenko, nor could
we mention our living and SAM.

We were permitted, however,
to appeal to these men to assist
in delivering mail to US. l knew

Cross Il found out later that dur.
ing my captivity Mrs. Vain
wright wrote me more than 300
letters, of which I eventually re-
ceived six,) and the others who
joined in the appeal felt the same
way.
Our new Jap masters naturally
refused to permit US to say
to the Red Cross
men about the monstrous treat
ment at Karenko. We thought
Of hurting out the truth to these
men, in the forlo1n hope that the
truth would touch even a Jap's
heart. But there was no hope Of
this. Our meetings were held
while we were flanked by armed,
and ready, Jap sentries. II we

after would have been considera-
bly, worse.
Careful Wording
By careful wording we could
occasionally convey the truth of
our conditions in such letters as
we were permitted to write letters
which were duly collected and
burned in apparently many cases
by Jap censors. My reference to
my weight, as Of my graduation
from West Point, actually got
through, however. So did letter

written by one of our officers tell
ing his wife:
81 cannot mention my treat
ment. I cannot mention very
much about conditions. l can
not mention the sanitary ar
rangements in the camp. The
fond is also unmentiona ble."
The stupid Jap who inspected
this letter noted contentedly that
| it contained, in more or less the
same language, the instructions
all of US had. He passed it and it
got through to America.
AS for my own mail, I was first
permitted to write to my wife in
October, 1912. My second letter
was approved in March, 1913,
and my third in June of the same
year-at Tamazato. I had re-
ceived no word from my wife up
to this time, but had had two
messages from others.
One of these was a Christmas
cable from my old friend, Gen.
F. S. Foltz, retired and living in
Washington. I had been Gen.
Foltz adjutant when he was
colonel of, and I was a captain in,
the First Cavalry before World
War I. still do not know how
it got through when so many 9th.
er messages were stopped. I &c.
ceived it in January, 1913.
A month later I received a
heavily censored letter from the
widow of an officer I had buried
on Corregidor. The widow was
living in Manila. It was the first
letter I had received for a year.
There are many forms of tor
ture, but isolation of this kind is
not the least of these varied cruel
ties.
After our arrival at Tamazato
we were permitted to write once
a month, and occasionally could
fill in the x-marks or missing
words on printed cards relating to
our condition. On one Of these
that got through to Mrs. Vain
wright there was a line which
read:
II am occupying myself"
I wrote in working with farm
animals" meaning that I was
back at the old Job Of he-ding
goats.
Other Punishment
No case Of 4 man being struck
by . Jap came to my attention
at Tamazato, but many of us
were made to stand at rigid at.
tention for as long as two hours
for such minor infractions of the
rules as going in the wrong door
of the latrine, walking too close
to the barbed wire fence, lying
down on our hunks from exhaus.
ton before bedtime, or failing to
salute or bow to a Jap soldier.
Occasionally the Japs would hide
from us, then jump out from I'M
der cover after we passed and
charge US with refusing to salute
or bow.
Though 1t was cloaked in the
form Of a gruff order, we re.
ceived wonderfully stirring news
at Tamazato in the late Spring OF
1913. We were ordered out one
day and told that we would have
an air raid drill!
It was our first unexpurgated
news that United States. forces,
land, sea and air, were approach,
ing us. I have never been proud
er Of being an American than I
was on that day.

Hair Sun Treatment

Sun used properly is wonderful
cosmetic. Dry your hair in the sun.
Brush it every day in the sun, if
possible. And bend over from the
waist when you brush. This makes
the blood rush to your head, where
it feeds and stimulates both scalp
and face; the lack of proper cir
culation helps make the face age
before the skin on the rest of the
body.

Herbs for Drying

The best time to collect herbs for
drying is just before they flower.
The drying will take about week
in the case of plants that are hung
up, and about three or four days
when the leaves are spread out on
frames or cloth stretched out. The
attic is fine place for drying herbs.
