Life in a Quonset Observation Post Not Exactly Overcrowded-But Almost By EUGENE BURNS AN ARTILLERY BATTERY HEADQUARTERS, ANDREAN OF ISLANDS, April 17 (De layed) (JP) We are in Artillery Captain- Roy Osadchey's Quon set hut. An eight-foot snowbank is smack up against it. We are calling an isolated OP (observa tion post) by field phone. There are tens of thousands of American lads watching for Japanese in such "seeing eye" posts in Alaska "Yes, sir, this is Hess (Sgt. Herbert E. Hess, 27, of Hia watha, Kas.) speaking. Every thing's fine. Telephone's work ing. Tents up. Boys are well. It's my watch, sir. Our OP is six-by-six hut Three of us have been up here since Decem ber. "Lonesome?' Not exactly, ex cept for night watches. Yes, sir, it sure does get cold. He laugh ed at the question. What does it look like up here?' Bare, except the tundra sticking out of the snow in spots. Plenty of scenery, provid ing the wind doesn't ram it down your throat. "Wong's got the next watch. '11 call him." While Wong was answering Hess" whistled call, - Captain Osadchey (of 4657 Benton Blvd., Kansas City, Mo.) said "Wong s about five-feet-one and around 105 pounds. The smallest but the best-liked man in my bat tery. It's too bad when we have alerts. Boys from strange out fits mistake him for a Jap. I've tried to keep him at headquar ters, but he wants to be out in front." Yuen Gin Wong, 26, of 34 Waverly PI., San Francisco, still was puffing heavily from his run to the phone. Yes, sir (puff-puff), I was born in. Canton (puff-puff). I have been in Alaska (puff-puff) eight months. 'I have more to kill the Japs for (puff-puff) than most men." Wong s father runs a restau rant in Pueblo, Colo. Next, Corp. Oscar L. Robin son, 22, of RFD 1, Willis) Kan., told how they built their cook ing equipment. The range is a steel plate bolted on a conical wheeling stove. Their skillet is the heavy bottom of a five-gallon milk can. The pots are No. 10 cans. The percolator was made of four tin cans, some copper tubing and a whiskey jigger. (Don't ask me where they got it). And coffee? ''Yes, sir. Plenty and it's good. "Who s cooking tonight? I be lieve Ohlde." Corp. Elmer W. Ohlde, 25, of RFD 2, Palmer, Kas., said, "I'm cooking-fancy tonight, seelng's it's - Saturday: unfrozen beef steaks, dehydrated spuds mash ed, pan gravy, canned com, peaches, . thawed bread and Remember Future generations will re member the last resting place of your loved one when prop erly marked when identi fied in keeping with your feeling of reverence with a memorial that will stand for all time. You will find the designs to suit your taste among our display. Klomath Falls Morble and Granite Works 116 S. llih St. Phone 6381 50 i unis-Bound Tanks canned butter with coffee." A storm was described by Corp. Clarence Howard Porter, 23, of 1617 S. Edith street, Chanute, Kan. "Our storms come at almost any minute, and in big chunks," he said. "One night, the wind blew around 70 miles an hour (an air command headquarters wind gauge registered a 110 mile gust). We didn't sleep, for worrying. A foot of snow swept into our tent. Our sleeping bags kept us warm. We were glad for daylight. "Then, when I was cooking up eggs and sausages, the boys tried to hold down our tent. They didn't. And once the wind got a purchase, the pegs yanked out of the muskeg and slashed it into three parts. We made out by cooking and sleeping in our OP." That gave six men about the space of a double bed, not count ing their equipment and the stove. Pvt. Kenneth J. Hobbs, 25, Highland, Kas., told how little events magnify into week-long conversational topics. - "A blue fox stole into bur tent, one night, and chewed on my boot top. Yes, sir, I was scared stiff." So was the fox. Hobbs also told of ptarmigan coming into the OP. "And for trout fishing, we put a raisin on our hook," he added. "We play a little gin rummy and pitch, and write letters and hope for answers. Two days ago, I got my Christmas package. It was mailed in November but, then, Kansas is a long way off." PALEONTOLOGIST AT 5 A 5-year-old child discovered the world's most important pre historic paintings. They were found in a cave near Santander, Spain, by a daughter of Marquis de Sautuola. ANCIENT CONSCRIPTION One-third of the able-bodied men in the entire Chinese Em pire were conscripted by Emper or Shih Hwang Ti to help build the Great Wall. People today make the sins and. faults of church people an excuse for not going to church. The church has a holiness be yond the virtues or faults of the people who worship there. Dr. William E.
