ON THE WOMANLESS WAR
FRONT, Andreanof Islands (P)
The sergeant in the quonset hut
remembered it had been just a
year since he'd seen a woman.
"Remember. I . said a year
since I'd just seen one, added
the sergeant.
There are no women within
750 miles of us unless the Jap
anese have geishas at Kiska. The
Aleuts were evacuated after
Dutch Harbor, and the USO girls
are not allowed at this end of
the chain of islands.
"You're lucky," a private re
plied. "They re a pain. My dame
and I had been stepping regular
for seven years. She could seat
it out that long, all right. But
then I'm sent up here and bang,
she marries a draft dodger. Don't
worry, I wrote his draft board."
You shouldn t have kept
pecking at her. that long any
way," somebody replied, but was
ignorea.
uet tnis, interrupted a cor
poral. "McCoy's girt moves from
Nebraska to Seattle so's to be
on the west coast in case when
he got a furlough. And now she
writes that she's met the man of
her dreams a sailor first class.
'That's better'n Cy," said an
other. "He was pouring his heart
out on a girl and went straight
to her door when he got back to
Portland last month. Who should
he meet but her husband!" '
Shorty spoke up. "Yeah, but
the husband throws a party next
night and Cy gets him another
and is engaged to her now."
"He's a damn fool if he gave
her a ring," said Silva. "I gave
mine a big diamond, a marine
grabbed her off. and now she
won t give it back."
Joe, who had been holding
back until prompted, said, "My
girl wants me to come to Louis
ville to decide between me and
another. Imagine asking the gen
eral lor a furlough on that one?'
mine writes -rake it easy
witn tne Eskimos.' I haven't even
seen one."
"What we need is women,"
said Cy.
"Yeah, suppose they do bring
a shipload. Then what? The odds
would be about a hundred to one
and where would we get with
out bars."
One man had been fumbling
in his barracks bag. He pulled
out some letters. He said "I goes
back to Sioux City and finds me
a girl. Have her pick out a big
ring worth sixty bucks the next
day. She says she'll be true to
me always and we'll get married
on my next furlough."
The letters were some that
had been returned to him unopened.
rney were marked un
claimed."
