will have to train them but some
of the women in time had excel

material to make dresses for the
girls because they have very few
clothes and you viii want them to
wear fresh clothes while they are
working. You will find them very
likeable and most anxious to please

While we were there, hot plates and

the Army people there are very
friendly and pleasant.

CUTTING TOP FROM BOTTLE?
HINTS.
From Mrs. P. H. p, Washington.
VIII some one tell me how to cut
the top of a glass bottle? I want
to use a big fancy bottle to make
lamp, but the top is too small to
receive a light fixture and I want
to cut it off. I know how to cut fiat
glass but not this.

how to clean brass that 1 cleaned

OKINAWA.
From G. r. S., Washington }
To Mrs M. s, G., washington:

To Mrs. M. s. G.. washington:
Having recently returned from
spending 10 months on Okinawa, I
feel may be of some assistance to
you, even though I lived under en-
tirely different circumstances. I
shall endeavor to answer your ques-
tions In the order that they were
listed in The Evening Star on Mon
day, August %, 1913:
/. The transportation problem was
still critical when I left Okinawa.
You will find your own personal
mode of transportation a necessity
as we'll as a convenience; however,
facilities for servicing and repair
ing privately owned vehicles had not
vet been established at the time Of
my departure. In spite of your hus-
bands rank and position, you will
find this to be quite problem unless
the Army Exchange Service has by
this time established repair shops.
Naturally, the jeep-type vehicle Is
more practical for use on Okinawan
roads.
~ 2. Eggs and strained baby foods
are available through the Army COM
missaries. Whether fresh frozen
milk is yet available in quantities to
meet the demand I do not know, but
feel certain that 1t is. Food will be
the least of your problems, for the
commissaries are more than ade-
uuately stocked. You will f1nd them
quite similar to the self-service
markets here in the States.
). Large quantities of summer
clothing and q nominal amount Of
winter clothing will be needed. The
winters on Okinawa vary from mild
and moderately dry to wet, damp,
cold and miserable. BY all means,
do not hesitate to take warm cloth
ing, for even though the tempera-
ture rarely drops below 40 degrees,
YOU will find the climate quite diff
ferent and exceedingly cold in COM
parison to like temperatures here In
the States. Take as much rain
repellent articles as possible, for the
rain falls in torrents and generally
for days at a time during the
typhoon season and winter months.
You will need protection from the
feet up, as the rains are generally
accompanied by high winds. An
ordinary raincoat alone will afford
Vol little protection.
8 4. Yardage is available, as we'll as
ready-made clothing, for you and
your child. I cannot guarantee the
quality and price Of such clothing
will meet with your approval.
5. Shoes can be purchased, though
most girls order their shoes as well
as any articles Of clothing they de-
sire from West Coast mail order
houses Shoes for the baby are on
sale, but you may have difficulty
getting sizes to meet the child s
growth.
9. Most families find the Philip
pine manufactured bamboo furni-
ture provided by the Army to be
quite adequate, as well as attractive.
Fill-in pieces such as end tables,
lamps, bookcases, occasional chairs,
dinette sets, vanities, ETC., are often
required to complete the home.
7. Take both your washing ma
chine and sewing machine. Though
the electrical current has been a
Evening star., 1948-09-12

major problem in the past, new
State-side generators have been in
stalled. How soon these generators
will be furnishing sufficient and un-
fiuctuating current I cannot say
however, I believe they will accom-
modate AC and DC appliances.
8. Your social life will be limited
to dances and receptions at OFF,
GERS clubs, bridge parties and gath
erings of your own creation. In any
event, evening clothes are a must
for appearances sake as well as a
morale booster. Being a man, l
hesitate to venture reply as to
what kind of materials would be
most appropriate in a lady's eve
ming dress.
8. House servants are plentiful
one family being allowed from two
to four girls and one gardener, de-
pending on the size of the family,
rank and position of the officer. I
believe this policy Is still effective.
Good Okinawan house girls are to
be treasured and handled with care.
There is little they cannot and will
not do for you if you are kind, con-
siderate, understanding and appre-
ciative.
10. Quarters are almost all Quon-
set affairs with small porches. Re-
frigerators are furnished, but re-
NAMED critical items at the time
of my departure. I do not think
stoves are provided.
Inasmuch as there was a change
in command and in policy shortly
after my departure from Okinawa, I
would advise you to accept as def
mite only those things related to you
by some one who has returned with
in the past two months. Your hus-
band is the best source of first-hand
information on the present situation
and I am sure he would delight in
obtaining the answers to your ques-
tions as it will give him an oppor-
tunity to make new acquaintanceS.
My stay on Okinawa was from right
after the war up till March of this
year; a time when not too much
could be expected. However, unless
the overall conditions have changed
greatly or unless great improve
ments are made in the immediate
future, I am afraid you are going
to find two and one-half years a
very long and firing stay instead of
a happy and unusual experience.
With sincere hope that the above
will prove of some service to you
I remain at your future service if
you so desire.

HIGH SPEED LIGHTNING
OUTFIT INSTALLED BY
SHAW COLOR STUDIO

Shaw Color Studio, 122 S. Main
street, is the first sudio in Ohio
to be equipped with the new
Goodman Electronic Flash Equip
ment developed by Kenneth c.
Goodman of Columbus. AS was
explained in a feature article in
the Columbus Citizen few days
ago, these new lighting units are
far more efficient than any other
flash units heretofore developed,
The light is of high intensity but
extremely short duration (about
10000 of a second) and Will
freeze" motion without a trace
of blur. 1t is ideal for child por-
traiture, for it enables the photo
grapher to catch those fleeting
childish expressions which are
lost with ordinary lighting equip
ment. There is no glare or eye
strain and no excessive heat.
The first use of these new units
for sports events coverage was
during the Marysville-Bellefon-
taine basketball game, and the
results obtained were so sensa-
tional that Spike Drugan, chief
photographer of the Columbus
Citizen, is now using two units
in covering the Class "a" basket
ball tournament at the coliseum
in Columbus. Mr.. Shaw also used
one of these lights at the Union
County basketball tournament
and his pictures are now on dis
play at the Shaw Color Studio.
