Excerpts from the letter fol low: "At last many of us who called Oro Bay, near Buna in southern New Guinea, home for seven months have gladly left that place behind. The trip up to Manila was made In a troop and cargo ship, in convoy, In 17 days. Seas Corregldor , "Entering Manila Bay Is an experience I will never forget. As we steamed single file past Corregldor, it is Impossible to explain the profound effect on all of us as we thought of all that had taken place there. We saw, through powerful field glasses, the gun emplacements and parachutes hanging from trees on the side of the 'Rock,' As we steamed into the harbor, we saw hundreds of ships, parts of innumerable sunken ships protruding out of the water and real buildings along the shore, the first real bit of civilization I had seen since leaving San Francisco.

Filipinos Do Laundry "Filipino women do the clean' ing and laundry. For laundry we pay 25 ccntavos for each shirt, skirt, wash dress and such articles, 10 centavos for a towel "Pilfering seems to be a nat ural characteristic of the Fili pinos.

On the other hand, many Filipinos continually bring gifts of linen, clogs, fruits and flow ers to Americans for whom they work. Transportation Scares "Transportation is very limit ed so one walks when no army transportation is available. The conglomeration of tiny shops, heavy traffic, mostly military vehicles carretalas (pony drawn buggies) and hand-pushed or bicycle-propelled carfs make shopping a trial. Gas stations are either destroyed or empty with all equipment torn out "Black market standard prices are sky high with about two tea spoons of sweet pasty ice cream or a small piece of watermelon costing one peso (50c), one cup of coffee for 50 centavos (Z5c), small piece of linen cutwork for 20 to 40 pesos ($10 to $20), wood en clogs like women wear for 10 to 20 pesos.

City Ruined "After riding through various parts of the city I find that the , part first seen is the seemingly i 'untouched' section. Most of the , streets are in bad repair and full of holes. Remainder of the city- is almost completely destroyed. I The President's palace in the i city is relatively untouched. It still has much of its original beauty such as gorgeous crystal i chandeliers, rugs, pictures and , furniture. However, much of the fine silver, china and crystal was removed to Japan.

This is the season when household de mands and the call for water for lawn and garden irrigation is greatest. Fire hazards are greater, too, at this time of the year and we must retain a suf ficient supply to meet any emer- gency. FIX LEAKY FAUCETS O Mow To Conserve Water YOUR job is to conserve water NOW it is YOUR water so guard the supply carefully. Use it fisely for household, lawn and gar den needs; be sure that leaky faucets are repaired; see that no waste water runs down gutters. There will be plenty of water for EVERY ONE if all will help conserve. We must be sure that sufficient reserve is maintained against the threat of fire. Please always remember that waste and extravagance in the use of water is sabotage! CITY of BEDFORD WATER DEPT. City Hall Building O Phone 4906 Phone 7104
