land. 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.

unmercifully hot during the day

and then. Very few buildings
have useable plumbing and the
only running water is that which
cascades through shell holes and
twisted remains of metal roofs
not yet repaired.
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. Many footlockers and
bed rolls have been rifled and
long string of bombed-out street
cars in one part of the city is
gradually disappearing, parts
being carried home by the Fil
ipinos. 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. A 25 peso perman

11 packages of cigarettes.
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.
"Parts of the hospital build

still being used as a hospital.

gECAUSE of increased de
mand for Medford's fine
water supply by military installa
tions of Jackson County, and
due to limited storage facilities
until the new reservoir is com
pleted, every single gallon must
be carefully conserved. 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.

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!
