TYPEWRITER PAPER • Laurel Outlook
Laurel Wac Tells Of
Life In New Guinea
The following is from a let
ter Miss Rosella Fritz recently
received from T/4 Tillie Hohen
dorf, former Laurel city clerk
who is in New Quinea.

mg and I like it. Most of the time
we really are working long and hard,
but is a good feeling. We take dif
ferent shifts, and as I started out on
the midnight shift I am now on the
swing shift and soon will work up
to the day shift. There is one week
of each. Needless to say I like the
night work best. For one thing
there are fewer distractions.
I have had a little time to look
over the scenery in the immediate
vicinity, and find it would be quite
interesting.
The coconut palms really are a
most interesting study. They seem
to bear nuts continually, for the
climate is always warm enough for
them to do so. One can see them
beginning form (they look like wal
nuts on a string, and on down the
tree they become closer and closer
to the ripened nut). Contrary to
the belief I had that they come from
the tree just as they are sold in the
stores, they have a hull around
them. I have seen the natives pick
them green, for they contain more
The work here is quite interest
milk at that stage. The very green
ones seem to have no meat at all.
Also there are other trees that
would shed their leaves if they were
back home. They seem to be fes
tooned with vines of some sort that
look like dangling ropes. Undoubt
cdly you have seen them in the
newsreels of the battle fronts.

c,.. r P / fs l States. There
is a scarcity of fresh raw fruit too.
Seems that the order of the day is
dehydrated potatoes. You may have
my share. However, we were serv
ed dehydrated sweet potatoes on one
occasion, and I really could go for
them again. The food is good and
substantial, and the bread is just
like home-made. While I do forego
the pleasure of white potatoes, I
more than make up for it by eating
bread. We don't always have the
butter, but do have jam or peanut
butter. So far we have not suffer
ed or gone hungry. The only thing
is that you have to eat what is
served, as there is no other source
of food.
I have seen quite a number of
the natives, and you can take it
from me that they are something!
Some of them have bleached their
hair to a blonde, and others seem
to favor a shade of red. You can
well imagine the appearance. While
they mostly are barefooted, they do
wear shorts. They seem to like to
have their pictures taken and will
take a pose and hold it. They are
more red-brown than the Negro and
have a fine physique (I mean the
ones I saw did).
The soldiers have been making
bracelets, etc., from cofns and shells
but are charging high prices for
them, and I dont' believe I shall get
any. It is my understanding that
we are to receive the necessary
tools with which to make such
things, and if that is true I believe
shall try my hand at that art. I
really would like to have something
to show' for my "hitch in Hell," as
the boys call it. \
We wear field shoes and wool
socks all the time, and dark green
fatigue pants and tan shirts. So j
you see our wearing apparel is
_
simplified and there is nothing we
need. Seems that due to all the
insect life in a climate like this,
rayon hose and skirts would be out
of the question.
Oh, yes! I saw a sand crab the
other night. It was very much like
a huge gray spider, and I would
hate to wake up and find one Iook
ing . me in the f ace .
sand crabs are poisonous and inflict
a wound much like a snake bite,
The post is along the beach, which
is pleasant for the girls who like
to swim. Most of them work such
hours that they have a couple of
hours at noon for going swimming
or playing in the water. I have
steeled myself against it, as I don't
like being wet, and so I confine
myself to looking off across the
water and watching ships that may
be in sight. Also there are spots
where one can stand and see the
mountains. Needless to say, those
are my favorite places to stand. I
believe that mountains are moun
tains; anyway they look like the
good old Rockies, and that is good
enough for me.
I remember the first sight we
had of land, and after being on the
water I thought I had never before
seen anything so beautiful,
was a small hill in the foreground
and it was covered with green veg
etation. On the top were palms,
I was told the

and in the distance the mountains,
which had a look of blue. It was
like a set on a movie lot and
was all very hard to believe. May
be it was the sight of terra firma,
„r it may have been that the blue
of the water was getting to be too
much; at any rate I could ask for
The sunsets are beautiful, es

evening star is visible in the west.

that is lovely too. I still have not
seen the southern cross, but I keep
looking. Like the other night when
I was gazing upward trying to find
it. I fell into a ditch in the sand.

; We see many of our planes fly
mg' overhead, and since we have
been here the boys have really put
on some air shows for us. Some
times they will fly a few feet above
the water and of a sudden will
swoop up into the blue. Or they
will fly out quite far over the water,
j turn and head back towards the
beach, flying very low and usually
with one wing higher than the
other. At the last minute they will
pull it up into the air and just clear
the trees. All I can say is, "Thank
heaven they are our planes.
Our barracks are some of the pre
fabricated kind. About a foot of
the wall above the floor is screen
and then about four and a half
feet up the wall they have screen
again. The eves of the building
extend quite a way out, to keep the
rain from coming in. Looks very
much like a screened porch. And
though the days are hot the nights
are cool, especially this time of
year, and one needs a blanket at
night. We have mosquieto nets
over the beds, to keep out the bugs
and insects.
This is the start of the rainy
season, and does the water come
down! A peculiar thing, the rains
usually are at night, and the sun
shines during the day.
Peg Adams is here too and I see
her quite often. We often laugh
about being brought together down
in this part of the world.
I am getting to know the differ

sort of talk.
New Drying Oils
New types of drying oils used in
the paint field have been developed
from soybean and linteeed oils by sci
entific treatment, which has given
them superior drying and bodying
properties, which are expected to
offer possibilities in replacing tung
oil, the major source of which was
China.
