Joyful Filipinos Dig Foxholes For Person Soldier Inflation Conditions Describ ed By Roxboro Man In Battle Area. Headlines of today are telling the glad news that Manilla i s fallen and probably one of the participants in that event is a former associate editor of the Courier, Sgt. T. C Wagstaff, of Roxboro, a University of North Carolina graduate and son of Mrs. T. C. Wagsaff, head of the Person Department of Public Wel fare. For more than a month Mrs. Wagstaff did not hear from her son and then on Friday, two days before the capture of Manilla, she received a letter saying he had been trans ferred from New Guinea to the Philippines. Date of the letter is January 19, with Sgt. Wagstaff saying that the trip was ‘'uneventual” and that since his arrival things have l.ot been “too rough." Admitting that he is in a combat area, Sgt. Wag staff adds, however, that "the folks at home can find out more about military operations by reading the daily papers than we know here.” Having said that Sgt. Wagstaff, who has a brother, Robert Wagstaff. in the Navy beats the newspapers in local color by giving an encourag ing first hand account of the co operation of the Filipinos, who speak English in many instances and who dig foxholes for the Americans. Visible evidence of Jap inflation tricks is shown by "Inva sion Money” furnished by the Jans, w-ith a Philippine scene and tiny Japanese writing characters un derneath. which Sgt. Wagstaff sends his mother with the letter. His interesting report reads in part as follows: “After New Guinea, the Philip pines seem quite civilized. The Fil ipinos are numerous in these parts, of them can speak some Lng ‘lish. even the small children, and quite a few" of them can carry on a very intelligent conversation. All of them are quite friendly with the American soldiers, and seem to think that we are the finest people in the world. They will do almost anything for you, and are now doing our wash ing and digging foxholes for us whe.y we need them. Standard price set by the army for a two man foxhole is one peso, or 50 cents American currency. We have been able to give them a little food and odd itehis of clothing from time to time, and they seem pathetically grateful for them. The Japs took almost everything they had—most of their food, and even the clothes off their backs. The Japs also flooded the country with worthless invasion currency, which produced a fantastic state of inflation. “I am told by the Filipinos that they were paid 10 pesos In invasion money for a day’s w'ork, and that this amount would buy sometimes one and sometimes tw’o inferior grade Jap cigarettes. Before tue \ war 25 centavos w'ould buy a guntar , (sp?—a small measure less than a j sack, but I can’t get equivalent in | bushels or pecks) of rice, but un- | der the Japs the same amount cost 300 pesos, or 1200 per cent infla tion. The same state of • affairs existed with all other commodities which w’ere available at all.” Sgt. Chambers, Os City, Listed Missing Sgt. Clarence Chambers, 26. of Roxbcro, son of Mr. and Mrs, J. T. Chambers, of Timberlake, has been reported as missing in action in , Belgium as of January 4. according to an official message received Thursday by his family. In service for five years, Sgt.
