There is still an urgent need for waste paper and scrap tin.
We have been asked to call this to your attention. Please see that your scrap gets into the proper channels for sal- vage.
Somewhere in France June 15, 1944 At present I'm practicing open air dentistry. I have my chair set up under an apple tree, and have plenty of light and fresh air.
The only trouble is I don't have any patients. Man, I have never slept so much in my life as I have the last couple of weeks.
There just isn't anything to do, which I imagine sounds very fun- ny what with a battle going on, but it's true. Don't think I'll ever be able to do a hard day's work again. I wore so many blisters on my hands digging a fox hole that I haven't been abl.e to do anything since. I have certainly h 'l.d lucky breaks since I've been in the army, especially over here.

On entering the Regular Navy Dental Corps, I was on duty at Navy Medical Center for an in- doctrination course after which I had duty at Navy Yard, Washing- ton, D. C. From there I joined the Fleet Marine Force at Qua:n- tico, Virginia, just in time to go t0 Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with them. We later came back to the states for further training then went to the South Pacific, which included :New Zealand, Fiji Is- lands, landings and .defense of

S. sometime in the near future. The Atarbrine we take has turned most of us as yellow as a pumpkin. During these months overseas we have had various types of rations, from tur- key and chicken to canned stew, dog biscuits, and "Red Heart,"
but have always managed to get the proper nourishment to stay in condition for this jungle life.
It is rather warm in our present area and is the hottest area I've been in, since the equator isn't
so
far away. I've see:n shorts of this area in the movies, heard about it on the radio, studied it in geography-and on the maps- it really isn't the most desirable spot in the world. · This area was really evacuated in a hurry by the"Sons of Heaven,." known as the
"Stinking Japs," and they do smell, regardless whether they are dead or alive. We have treated injured and sick J aps in our dis- pensary and thei~ body odor, etc., is unbearable. Places wh·ere they live and have lived are nothing but a mess. Words couldn't de- scribe the filth. In their hurried evacuation they left abundant sup- plies, sl!lch .as: trucks, motors of all types, from o:ne-quarter 'horse- power to airplane · generators
One most interesting group treated was a party of five Chi- nese, all prisone:-s of the J aps.
There was an old man (the grand- father) the daughter and her hus- band· with their two children. The boy was about 2 years old, the little girl only 10 days old. This small girl had a broken right arm and her right leg, which resulted when her mother fell with her during our bombardment. It was born only a few days prior to this. The. birth took place out in the jungle, "the bush," and had no medical aid for several days, until these five Chinese were tak- en to our aid station by Ameri- can soldiers. The above was the nearest story we could get from these people with the aid of an interpreter. The patients were evacuated.
In many nearby villages . habi- tated by the J aps, silk clothing was found. Some being women's.
As is known they do have women with the troops.

So we kept away from that sub- ject and continued to listen on other incidents. He graduated from Medical School in India in 1938, was a man of 30, seemingly very intelligent and the most courteous person I've ever known.
He told us of Indian customs, such as women don't wear skirts or blouses, but robes, which extend down to their ankles. Men don't show pictures of their wives to anyone (but he claimed to be modern and so he let us see the picture of his very attractive wife). The Indian Medical and Dental schools have similar re- quirements' to ours, in years es- pecially.
These places in the Southwest Pacific are practically all jungle and after one has lived in them, civilization will certainly be a treat on returning to the States.
The mosquitoes are about like Bob Hope claims, they come in with fighter squaqrons.
