this letter by reaching through
a broken b'vx below his box in
the post office. I hid it under
Kraft's store Saturday night,
and Sunday evening befoie 4 pm
I went back to Kraft's store and
opened the letter I didn't read
the who e letter as it wasn’t in
teresting. While I was there I de
cided to start a fire too so I set
the letter on fi e and put it up oB
a beam with some cardboard
and straw, but the straw didn’t
burn, and only about half of the
cardboard burned Then I went
up by the bottling works and
watched for smoke I saw a little
smoke come out and T went over
to the MP station and told them
there was a little fire by Kraft’s
store and they gave me a pump
can and I went back to Kraft’s
and went back under Kraft's
store and there was just a spark
THE SON
of one of our stock holders is a Para Trooper in the
South Pacific. He recently wrote his father and we
quote a portion of his letter. “Last week I went to
the hospital for examination. Everything seems OK
except for a little fungus. The doctors said that
more than half of the former Para Troopers were in
the hospital and that most of them will never go
back for physical reasons and that many of them
are getting medical discharges from the Corps”.

burning on the beam, but the or
ange crate was on fire and smould
ering. so I put the fire out and
then I went over to neighbors
and I saw the fire trucks in front
of Kraft’s and I wondered what
for, as I knew that I had put the
fire out.
“After dinner I rode around
on my bike and went up by the
school house and I parked my
bike light by the door of Wod
linger’s warehouse and I went in
under the warehouse through the
little door in front. While I was
under there I heard George Wil
liams (manager of Bert’s drug
store, also owned by L. K. Wod
linger) and his twins go into the
warehouse, and I heard one of
the twins tell George that her
mother was waiting for him to
come home to dinner and George
said to tell Mother I’ll be home
at six o’clock for dinner. After
they left I got some dry grass
that, was under the building
(packing straw) and put it up on
a beam under the floor and set
it on fire with a match, I start
ed the fire in two places about
three feet apart and some of it
must have dropped out on the
ground as I caught a glimpse of
the ground burning when I was
going out from under the build
ing Then 1 got on my bike and
rode down the main street as far
as the Club liquor store and I
told a man “look at the fire”,
and he said why don’t you report
it, so I did run over to the Mar
shal’s and report it.
“Last night (Thursday) at a
bout 6:45 pm another boy and I
went down to the post office on
our bikes, and I opened a box
and took two letters and then
we went out Mission road. After
we got back to town we rode a
round town and bought some
cracker jacks and then the other
boy left me as I wanted to ditch
him so that f could read the let
ters. After he left I parked my
bike behind the Kodiak Foun
tain, then I went in under the
Frontier and opened the letters,
but I didn’t read them any more
than a couple of lines. I saw
some burlap laying there so I
thought I’d see if it would burn
I lit the burlap but it wouldn’t
burn, so I put wax-paper from a
Pullman loaf of bread on top of
it, and I guess it must have burn
ed that time. When I crawled
out I went under the Polar Bear
(cafe next door) and I think one
of the Navy Snore Patrols . .. .
saw me coming out but I guess
he didn’t notice me
