Liberated Marine
Writes of Delight
On Leaving Japan
A recent letter to his parents
from Cpl. Leonard Lee Rogers,
U.S.M.C., recently liberated from
a Japanese prison camp, tells of
the life of American prisoners in
Japan. Rogers enlisted in the
marine corps in 1940 and served
in Shanghai, China, as co-editor
and cartoonist for the marine
magazine. Shortly before the out
break of the war he was sent
to the Philippines and was cap
tured on Bataan. He is now en
route to Seattle to the home of
his parents. The letter was re
ceived by his sister, Mrs. Walter
Dailey, 256 Beatty street.
"It was one of the happiest
days of my life," the corporal
wrote, "When I left the shores
of Japan. Days upon days work
ing below in the coal mines;
foul air, brutal treatment, star
vation rations of rice and beans,
forced associations with Jap
mine workers who were primi
tive and sadistic.
Upon his a r r 1 v a 1 In Waka-
yama, Rogers, who reported he
had gained 15 pounds since Aug.
15, was processed along with
other liberees at the Beach hotel
and assigned to a ship to be
brought home. In describing con
ditions aboard ship he wrote:
' Thing's that I've dreamed
about for years that I'm now
having are ice cream daily, beau
tifully whipped potatoes with
butter, bread so soft and fluffy
it melts in your mouth, milk,
sugar, ham and eggs and State
side cigarettes.
"Some of the ship's company
commented on the amount of
bread that we could stow away.
We are just making up for lost
time. For instance, I ate six eggs,
bacon, two bowls of dry cereal,
fruit, coffee, and five slices of
bread yesterday for breakfast."
ELKS CHRISTMAS
GIFT BOX READY
The local Elks lodge has manu
factured several hundred wood
en boxes which they are donat
ing to the public for the purpose
of sending Christmas gifts to the
servicemen overseas.
But according to an announce
ment made by Diamond Flynn,
chairman of this committee, the
demand for these boxes has not
been as great as it was last year.
He explained that this lack of
demand may bo due largely to
the conflicting stories appearing
in the press about the return of
servicemen. At any rate, the Elks
committee is preparing to deliver
to anyone without cost these reg
ulation wooden boxes. The pub
lic is advised to call for the boxes
between the hours of 8 a. m. and
2 p. m. week days.
