I DIARY ...
Of all the many stories and
tales told in connection with the
occupation of Attu and Kiska,
we heard one, finally, that we
believe we can repeat without
getting into difficulties with cen
i-orship
This one concerns Attu. After
the campaign had dwindled
down to the mopping up stage
some of the boys were told they
were going to leave Attu. One
officer objected vociferously, as
he hadn’t got his Jap yet. His
commanding officer, understand,
ing his feeling in the matter,
told him he could have one more
chance at getting one, and also
told him how to go about it.
“See that ridge away over
there”, the C. O. said, “well,
j you go over there and climb it,
I and when you get to the top
take cover, and then, at the top
of your voice, start yelling’ ‘I
hate Hirohito! I hate Hirohito!’
Then see what happens.”
The officer was delighted, and
started out on his mission. After
sweating across the rugged ter
rain he reached the ridge and
climbed it, took cover as instruct
ed’ and began yelling "I hate
Hirohito! 1 hate Hirohito!”
His voice echoed eeriely in the
foggy wastes and for just an in
stant the officer thought nothing
was coining of his strategy, when
from five different spots five
Japs suddenly popped up.
To the officer’s surprise, the
Japs all began yelling “We hate
Roosevelt! We hate Roosevelt!”,
they screamed again and again.
Later, the C. O. asked, ‘ did
you see any Japs?”
“Yes”, replied the officer.
“Did you shoot one?” pressed
theC O
“No”, said the officer, “I
couldn’t. They were all Re
publicans.”
That passenger list that cor-'
tained practically nothing but
people named Suryan, to-wit, R.
D., John, Joe, Joe M., John, Jr.
, George and Lloyd, is explained
simply. The whole fam damily
was on its way home to Ana
•ortes after a season of fishing
at their cannery at Moser Bay,
Kodiak island.
The dads are superintendents
and boss operators. George is
foreman. Another brother is
bookkeeper, The others are on
the fishing grounds and work in
the cannery. Lloyd is the young
est, 16, and is pointed out as
future boss of the bunch
This family affair packed 57,
000 cases, but met disappoint
ment in their crab venture. A
complete line was installed on
the basis of former abundance of
crabs but this season the crabs
weren’t there A small pack of
180 cases of crab was all they
got.
Pun-of-the-week-dept.—Two
local men were talking about
political positions, appointive,'
elective and otherwise.
“In an elective office”, opined j
one, “you at least know you’re
in for a term, barring impeach
ment or removal or something.” |
“That’s the trouble with an
appointive position,” said the
other. ‘ You can get appointed
m the morning and dis-appoint
ed in the afternoon.”
A mother was frantic, the I
whole family was worried, and
the combined city and federal
police forces were engaged in
olving the mystery.
Two boys, brothers, didn’t
come home one night recently.
The deputy U. S. Marshal’s
office was called at 5:30 in the
morning, and after several hours
sleuthing the mystery was solved |
The first friends of the two boys
who were questioned told a very
tall story about some bigger boys j
keeping the littler boys in a dug-1
out on Signal hill, and not let
ting them out, but as soon as^
the police investigated and found
it wasn’t so the boys who told *
the story backed down. It de
