OREGON trum pets, trom bone and piano. “Benny Goodman could accuse the c la rin e tist of stealing his own style, and the pianist had hair like Paderew ski. The music was in the best jazz fashion, and the girls w ere good dancers. Our CO even jitterb u g g ed a bit with the best-looking girl. He’s the one th a t w ent over the cliff with a jeep and lived to tell the tale. “If you can get one of the com pany’s shotguns and am m uni tion for it, the hunting is pretty good. P h easan t and small red deer abound in the hills, mainly because the K oreans can't have w eapons and the GIs don’t have m uch tim e to hunt.

It has tw’o sections, one for women only, and the other for men. We had to bribe our way in to the men’s part. An old crone ran us off before w’e were within 50 yards of the women’s section, but I got a glimpse of some of the fine architecture inside the high wall. M o s t Koreans are Sham ans b y descent, although there about 500,000 Christians in the whole of Korea. They have some beautiful churches, most of them being in the capital city, Seoul. . “The w eather is inclement most of the time, to say the least. Very cold, and sometimes damp. We finally got a stove for the shop. I t’s a tossup between choking acrid smoke, or treezing cold. I’d almost take the cold. < S' '¿A f Vi * BUY EARLY TO GET BEST CHOICES! - I n addition to the item s listed la st week, we are adding the following: H. C.
