Th« following letter, giv-n to
for publication by a man whose
identity must lie kept secret, obvi
ously, is both interesting and heart
ening. It is a letter from a son to
a father. The son is in the service
in Alaska, and the father is em
ployed here at Camp Adair,
June 20,1942.
Dear Jim:—
Am till "down the line” from
my former residence where our
gang “slipped the rough end of the
cob” to the fanatic followers of
Hirohito. Col.
■■ personally
shoved it in, ably assisted by the
rest of his “gang,”
I personally have no doubts
whatevr r as to the immunity of
North America—Northwest Amer
ica, at least—from any aggressive
moves of the Jap. They paid dearly
for what little damage they did
perform at Dutch Harbor. They’re
still wondering just “where in the
hell we came from!”
Am very glad you saw the Cadles
and hope you see them often (A. R.
Cadle family of Dallas, whose son
was among the missing). Dean
Cadle is in my memory, one of my
closest nnd most highly regarded
friends, lie has been missing for
three weeks and is in all probabil
ity, lost. Your letter sounded as
though his family was in total ig
norance of that information. (I
purposely omitted telling my son
of their notice- father.) You know,
we didn’t exactly have a tea-party
up h ere. Some of our best men
were lost. All the news broad
casts 1 heard seemed very authen
tic. so you must have some pictui
of the goings on. When I see you,
of course I’ll be able to tell you a
little more of that information.
I think I’ve given you most of
the information I have at hand
now. Losing my best friend was
quite a blow to me, but one has to
face those things along with the
brighter events of life, and particu
larly now, without losing .stride.
I will write Mr. Cadle soon.
Keep the “home front" well
etered - may see you in a
months, One Irishman here
marked, "I didn’t realise
damned much I did want to live.
’til I aw those tracer bullets com
ing at me.” Not bad, eh?
George.

from any light source, then the
light also is visible from the sea,
and must be dimmed or extin-

Street and highway lights visible
from the sea must be shielded so
that no light is directed upwards,
while the same rule applies to ad
vertising signs, commercial flood
lighting, display lighting
