Station Dlaponsary, Fort Roger, T. H. July 21, 1941. or of The Joornal-Patrlot, Wllkesboro, N. C. ’■■w Sir: I am writing this letter, with ^■y hope that It will be con- very carefully before be- tae discarded. I have an idea, ttit. If done properly, will help •• aalee of your paper. As you a:ready know, there ■n three boys of Wilkesboro who are In the United States Ar*y, stationed on the island of 4Mhn, Territory of Hawaii. These •iwe boys. Pvt. Phillip B. Davis, Giemical Warfare, Bks., Schofield fcrracks. T. H.. Pvt. Edward *ght. Hickam Field, T. H., and Corporal Luther D. Saylors, Sta- ■n Dispensary, Fort Ruger, T. M. ■y idea is to send you news of wbat these three fellows from home town and community doing. an" also news of Ha- Itself. As you know, the wcaders of your paper are always ested in what boys from . home town are doing, and one' could resist reading about air interesting and beautiful ■ place as Hawaii, with Its world famous Waikiki Beach and its Kany other places of beauty and ■BBriiT wonder. »y first new^s item, if accepted, wffl be about Corporal Luther D. Xaylors, who is the clerk of the irtachment Medical Department, Mart Rug^ :. T. H. Corporal Say lors. who arrived in the Hvw.iiian •■iwrfment on July 26, 19'iO, has made fairly good progress in his jIuBt: time in Hawaii. His first raUag, after having ■bteen at Fort Roger only a few weeks was that of Specialist Cth Class. After hold ing this rating for approximately four months, he was made Pri vate First Glass, which anthorls ed him to wear one stripe on his sleeve. The next and his present rating Is that of Corporal, which entitles him to wear two stripe on his sleeve. The rating of Cor poral Is that of the lowest rank of Non-Commissioned officers, the next being Sergeant, Staff Ser geant, etc. Corporal Saylors, even though this be his first enlist ment, Is very well satisfied and is learning a lot which will help him later on In life. Now, I win give you a descrip tion which I have taken from a magazine called “The Paradise of the Pacific," describing very viv idly the Hawaiian Islands. I quote, “From about two thousand miles from the Golden Gate to wards the I.*and of the Setting Sun, is the Paradise of the Pa cific—Isles of Enchantment and of Tranquil Delight. Blessed Archipelago where mother nature is more kindly to her humans than in any other part of her realm. Fortunate Indeed are those who have been permitted to visit this fleet of fairy-isles, where contentment and beauty fills the environment. Having visited the Glorious Group, you recall seeing the white of the clouds in the bluest of skies, the Pacific surges evolving suddenly from deep blue to virgin white contrasting the jet-black lava, m which they break, gorgeo ,s rainbows o f night or day. the myriad flowers of perfection in color and per fume, the sweet-voiced birds, the imposing mountains indented with lovely valleys, and the many other attractive features of Ha waii, the Paradise of the Pacific.” Now this last paragraph was RALPH DUNCAN TSAjne 301 — Ninth Street 1942 PHILCO A new idea in table cab inet design . . . combining Walnut woods, shark grain ing and plastic.. Sensattonal tone and performance, MODEL 323T §28.00 written just to give you and all the folks at home some idea of what Hawaii is really like. If you care to publish these two articles, good. I was just sitting here in the office the other day and start ed thinking what a good idea it would be to let the people back home know what their represen tatives are doing in “this man’s Army.” I think a good title for the article in the paper would be, “News from Hawaii” by Corporal Luther D. Saylors. The next ar ticle will be on Pvt. Phillips B. Davis and the Nuuann Pali, a very historic spot to the natives of Hawaii. If you are in'ere.-ited in thi.s little brainstorm >f mine, will you please answer by return mail. As the natives say, “Aloha- nui. kaioha.” Very truly yours. LUTHER D. SAYLORS.

Elkin Has Heavy Rainfall Monday Elkin.—A rainfall of 2.55 was recorded as the result of a thun derstorm which descended upon Elkin early Monday morning, Mrs. C. N. Bodenheimer, official recorder, stated. The record-breaking downpour was but a continuation of a rec ord rainfall during the month of July, when almost daily rain ran the total precipitation to 12.35. Yesterday morning’s downpour resulted in numerous flooded basements of buildings under con struction, chief among which were buildings getting started in the Chatham Manufacturing Com pany area. Milk routes are furnishing An son county farmers an extra .source of income and a chance to get away from one-crop farming, says Clarence Earley, assistant farm a.gent. Pasture demon.'trations i n Rowan county are teaching farm- eis a real lesson in the value of improved pastures, .says P. H. | Satterwhite, assistant farm agent I of the Extension Service. Washington,’Aug. 4.—Crltlca of the administration. engaged in a last-minute senate tight today to place a six months’ limit on the extra service period for selectees, but White House lieutenants ex pressed confidence the restriction would be defeated. The administration leadership already has offered one compro mise, providing an 18-month ex tension of the ^rvlce periods of all army personnel, and leaders said they had the votes to pass the legislation in that form. As originally proposed, the measure would have permitted the Presi dent to extend the service periods indefinitely. The six-months’ extension of the selectees' present 12-month terms was offered by Senator Taft, Rep'utllcan, Ohio, who also suggested a 12-month extension for reservists and national ' guardsmen. Under the Taft plan, I regularly-enlisted soldiers would be released when their enlist ments terminated. Supporting Taft’s proposal. Senator Brooks, Republican, Illi nois, declared I'uat a six months’ extension was necessary because “the actual progress of this ad ministration toward war" had placed the nation “in peril."
