Oriental Interlude'

How could she keep those eyes

malaria bug didn't stay long and
I was released from the hospital.
All the days from then on were
hell Each flight afterwards I pray
ed that I could have my arm cut
off SO I cound see her again 49,.
and you know, was sent back.
SHIPPER got me. But I couldn't see
her Never saw her again and
GOD. NEVER WILL"
He let go my hand. It was numb
and damp from his nervous per-
spiration.
THE interns said if I hadn't
wanted to see Airline so much ]
wouldn't have pulled through.
Yeah, and she never knew that /
loved her -. loved her for her
smile. her thoughts, the way she
walked, everything. In fact every
thing in that hell hole took on q
meaning because I knew Airline
was there.
II was sent back to the States
later, and now I'm wandering here.
The boys in the squadron used to
tell me that I'd meet someone else

never thought about love until
now. You're like her. You talk like
her.
THE weird insects. the stuffy air
and the sticky rain was life to her

will find her again too Not Airline

boys used to kid me =. oriental

Hell. what did I care If she was
Burmese? Does the color of the
hair or the skin matter in love?
You know, maybe I could have
loved a Jap too"

not go back for two weeks. I think
I was little afraid
Today, went back TO the shop

BY MARILOU


EACH DAY I take my lunch to
work and each day I drop into a
tuck shop to buy some dessert for
my lunch-a cookie, an apple turn
over, or sometimes chocolate bar.
The tuck shop is on the corner
and has recently been opened by a
man named Jim. The college coke
addicts consider it a super place
to chat" l shall always remember
it as that-and something more.
Jim stood about five feet seven,
not husky--about 155 pounds-but
broad-shouldered, and he had me-
dunn brown hair with beautiful
Grecian curve for the blonde ting
ed wave / must admit I sighed
each time went into his shop.
For the first few times I ex-
changed only the usual good morn
ings end good afternoons. But I al
ways closed the door with Il wish
I had said more" feeling.
Then after half a dozen visits,
Jim said quite suddenly, You're
not very big, are you?"
mo" I said demurely, hoping
I'd made an impression.
II can tell" he said, Il can tell"
If it had been any other tuck
shop and any other clerk, / would
have felt queer at the remarks.
But oil this day, could only stand
and stare.
Jim tapped lightly on the coun-
ter, fingered the dollar I had given
him. and then with an air of sure
ness counted the change into my
hand.
YES" he continued, you're not
from Toronto either"
Then he did an odd thing.
Dropping the. change into my
hand he grasped my hand, and
felt my arm, my ear, and then my
hair. He fingered there for a mo-
ment. I was so scared could
hardly breathe.
You have soft, so soft curly
hair -. like my girl =. like my
girl 80" he said.
You know. I met Airline IN
Burma. Hell of a place. smelled
from mere to Hades, but Airline
=. she was a goddess. She was so
tiny, you could put her little waist
into this spoce (he cupped his
hands together) and SO beautiful
those big brown eyes, they stab
bed my heart the first time I saw
her.

3. @. In my printing plant it
was my business practice to have
considerable amounts of printed
labels for my customers. At the
time of evacuation, Board Of ECU
alization agents came TO my shop
and demanded that I pay sales
tax on these labels bearing the
trade marks Of my customers.
We were all evacuated and my
clients never purchased these
labels. Can claim for the amount
OF the labels which were unsold
and also for the amount Of the
sales tax which I was compelled to
pay?
A. You appear to have a clear
claim for the cost of the labels
to you, but you may not be able
to recover the profit you would
have made on the sale of the labels
10 your customers unless you car
how that your customers had con.
tracted to buy all the labels ant
that therefore your actual legal los.
at the time of evacuation was ths
sales price and not the cost of thu
labels to you. So far as the sale.
tax on the lstelss is concerned, vol
might be able to recover thi
amount If you can show that tn,
amount was paid because of tn,
evacuation and If you can ais,
show that 1t Is not possible to re
cover the amount from the Stat,
authorities. 500
4. @. I bought 1889 car which
we paid by down PAYNE mt and
just got done paying the amount
Of 5000 when two months later
We were evacuated. We had to
sell the car for s4Oo. Do have a
claim?
A You have a good claim at least
for the difference between the
amount you paid on the car and
the amount you received. If your
car was completely paid for, your
loss is the difference between its
reasonable value and the amour;
YOU received for it. which does moi
always depend upon the purchase
price. 1t may be that you purchased
he car for 5000 but may have usee
it in such a way that it was no
worth that much at the time 20,
were forced to sell it because Of
depreciation. accidents or other fac.
Tors. On the other hand. If you hat
made a particularly good purchase
It may have been worth more thar
he 5000.

on actual questions asked Of this

self or to proccdural matters is
invited to address a letter with a

envelope to the Washington Of

Section, 800 Fifth Street North
east. Washington 2, d. C. Ques-
tiors of general interest may be
produced in this series without
personal Identification. al
mo questions involving the le-
gaiity or value Of specific claims
can be answered.)
l. @. My father died just before
evacuation and left me with an
extensive gold fish hatchery. l was
nineteen years old and did not
have much knowledge of the bus
mess. The persons who worked
in our hatchery were Japanese
who were evacuated. I lost almost
everything our family had because
of the evacuation. Can I claim
for the going value of the business
which was thus destroyed?
A. If you are person of Japanes,
ancestry you can claim the differ
ence between the going value o.
the business and any amount yot
received for 1t.
2. @. In 1943 i sold my poultry
farm in California for $1,000. II
I were to buy back the same place
now, or one similar to it, I would
have to pay at least $4,000. Would
have the right to file a claim
If it were not for the evacua ton,
1 would never have sold the place
to begin with. As far as real es-
tate prices go, believe I received
a reasonable amount for the farm
in 1913. But the fact remains that
I would like to return to Califor-
mia to start back in the poultry
business; but the high prices being
asked for real estate now makes
ii impossible to do so.
A. If you did receive the fair mar
ket value for your poultry farm az
a going business oSncern at thu
time you sold it in 1913, it will bt
difficult to recover claim for the
additional amount which the poul-
try farm is worth today because OF
the increased real estate values
The Government would be able te
contend that the increased value
was a claim for anticipated profits
prohibited by the Evacuation Claims
Act. If you actually bought back
the poultry farm at the increased
cost you would have a somewhat
better argument that your claim
should be paid in order to reimburse
you fully and place you in the same
position as you were at the time
you were evacuated. But, if you
did not repurchase the farm. or a
similar poultry farm it is more diff
ficult to establish your claim. In
these ceses the only way c1ear
decision can be obtained is by filing

Healthy School Children

Starting to school for the first
time is a big adjustment for any
child. Regardless of whether the
older children are glad for the
school bell to ring, or perhaps not
SO anxious, the little beginners
have their own feeling of anxiety.
Busy as mothers are this month,
they should make certain that
children do not start the new ad-
venture of school under par, or
with the odds against them. Ply
steal and emotional health is inn
portant. j
Every child should have a den
tai certificate, a physical exami-
nation and correction Of remedial
defects.
Exposure to new germs, and in
varied amounts, occurs when
large number of children meet at
school. While protection against
every illness is not available, par
ents can have their children given
protection against typhoid, small
pox, whooping cough and dip
iberia.
Getting ready for school means
being ready physically, mentally,
emotionally and socially.

Ask the home agent for a copy
of the Garden, Fruit and Flower
Guide" which list 18 good vege-
tables for the last third of 1949.
A few vegetables garden tips
for September include sidedress-
ing August planted crops with s.
l0-5 or some nitrogen fertilizer,
continuing to save home grown
seed, and building a coldframe for
October planting. Also, to reduce
insect and disease damage, keep
clean a part of a plot which is not
planted or producing. Cut weeds
and grass before they go to seed.
Lawns need not be dull gray or
bare and spotty all fall, winter
and early spring. Italian rye grass
planted now, will make a green
lawn within four weeks that will
beautify the home all winter.
Sow 5 to 10 pounds of Italian
rye grass to each 1000 square feet
of area TIL thicker the grass, the
more attractive the lawn. Seed
can be sown on Bermuda sod or
bare unprepared soil.
This is an excellent time to
make cuttings of evergreens such
as camellis, azaleas, Chinese holly,
Rbelia, and pfitzer juniper. Use of
roofing dust will speed up root
ing.
Seed of several annual flowers
can be planted in the open garden
for blooms next spring. Such an
nuals include California peoples,
larkspur, annual phlox, corn flow
er, coreopsis and ~gaillardia.
Do not destroy old verbena and
snapdragon plants, which are usu-
ally winter hardy in Mississippi.
Seed of SOME perennial flowers
can be planted this month in a
coldframe, seed box or protected
bed.
Prune weak wood out of roses
this month. Continue to dust
roses with a mixture of one part
fermate and 8 parts sulphur to
control mildew and black spot.

THE LEADERS of the Brotherhood OF
i Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
Order of Railway Conductors, and the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen on the
Missouri Pacific Railroad have refused to
avail themselves of the peaceful near
provided by this Act for settling their dis
putes. They insist that they be the sole
umpire of their own disputes over the
meaning of contracts
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1949-09-22
There Us no Need for Strikes

With all of the available methods for the
Interpretation of contracts, there is no
need for a strike or even a threat of a
strike, but the leaders of these railroad
unions have ignored the ordinary pro-
cedures established by law and insist upon
imposing their own interpretations of their
contracts by means of a strike.
The wheels have stopped rolling on the
Missouri Pacific. They may stop rolling
on other railroads at any time. Recently
the Wabash Railroad was forced to dis
continue operation for several days under
similar circumstances.
