The Summerville Indians ended
their football season last Friday
night, when they were defeated by
Valley Head by a score of 19-7.
Even though the boys had no vic
tories this season, they put up a
great fight from the beginning to
the end. We are proud of them,
because they insisted from the be
ginning of school that we have a
football team, although the possi
bilities of a good one were small.
When it was found that we could
not possibly get an experienced
coach, Mr. Pesterfield, with the as
sistance of Joe Pullen, offered their
services. These men were always
on hand to coach us, although in
doing so they were compelled to
leave their jobs. We of the foot
ball team feel that they did a
great job and are proud of the fact
that we had Mr. Pesterfield and
Mr. Pullen as coaches.—J. C. Hur

Thanksgiving, 1942
There will still be turkey and all
the fixings, but this time we will
have a definite time to eat it. Last
year about this time there was the
question of whether we should
celebrate the third or fourth
Thursday of November as a legal
holiday. The president had issued
a proclamation that would make
Thanksgiving fall on the fourth.
Some states observed the third
Thursday, some the fourth, and
some few both.
Last December congress fixed by
law the fourth Thursday in No
vember as Thanksgiving day. The
president issued an unusual proc
lamation this year for the fourth
Thursday. This causes much less
confusion and most folks like it
better. —Joe Dodd Cook.

Proud of her investment in the American way of life and equally
proud of the grime of war production on her face and arms, the
young lady in this “Women At War Week” poster symbolizes two
of the chief activities of women at war. Not only does she work in
a war plant; she also helps finance the war by purchasing War
Savings Bonds regularly through payroll savings. “Women At
War Week,” November 22 to 28, will focus the spotlight on women’s
activities on the homo front. ~ ..
o’clock the citizens of Chattooga
county met in front of the court
house to unveil a service board for
the boys who left from this county

county. Rev. Morgan directed the
program. The speakers were Lieut.

Mr. Fred Aldred, Rev. /W. W. Glass

Interesting Letter
From T. D. Marks
Oct. 8, 1942
Marine Corps Unit, 409 X
care P. M., San Francisco
Dear Folks:
Your V-mail letter of Sept. 16
arrived today. Sure was glad to
get it.
My health is excellent. Am start
ing to get back my little pot in
front which disappeared right alt
er we arrived. Hiking is good for
the waistline. We have been kept
busy and things seem to be im
proving slightly. Red Cross is
helping with some much needed
recreation gear.
Something came up about that
Lime and I was too busy to get at
this letter yesterday.
What I can tell you of living con
ditions here I will. My troops are
quartered in tents on one of the
largest cocoanut plantations in the
world. The climate is very humid.
Mains most every day and never
;eems to quite dry out. Shoes and
eather unless worked over each
lay soon become covered with
;reen mold. The temperature is
fairly constant. I’d say about 80
to 85, but due to the humidity the
slightest exertion causes our clothes
to be soaking wet. One always
feels slightly damp.
There are no snakes on the is
and. Have huge centipedes that
have a rather wicked bite or sting.
We killed about six or seven in my
tent. Our tents are under rather
larger trees in which huge bats
body as big as a cat) congregate
o make love-amid much squeaking
nd chattering at night.
For the native life is very sim
nle. His food grows all around him.
"Jocoanuts, bananas, coffee (small
amounts), bread fruit, taro, pine
apples, cocoa, limes, papaya (simi
ar to a cantaloupe, less tasty) and
nany other edible items grow in
great profusion. Many cattle rais
-3d on this plantation. Principal
business here is copra drying. Na
tives very friendy, but lazy. Mos
quitoes and flies very bad.
Have very little sickness from
colds. No malarie yet or here so
far as I know.
The island is of volcanic origin.
Ground is covered with rocks that
tear ones shoe soff in a hurry.
Cause many twisted ankles and
knees.
There are many volcanic craters
of various sizes from a few feet
across to 400 or 500 yards. None
3re active. No hot springs that I

know of. Water is piped from the
hills to the villages, which are
mostly near the seashore. Some
villages use shallow wells from
which they get a brackish but pot
able water.
The men wear skirts and are
tattooed from knees to waist. The
females are “very definitely mam
mals.’’ Never have seen such ar
rays of breastworks. Living as
they do mostly on starches the eld
ers and many young are very broad
in the beam.
There are many churches and the
people attend them well, but still
it seems that the people are amoral.
That is they will “borrow” anything
left ling around and it* no par
ticular disgrace to have a baby out
of wedlock, altho why anyone
would want to make love to such
unimpassioned hunks of flesh is
more than I can see.
There are no very good roads on
the island, altho the trucks get
around fairly well.
Our food supply is adequate.
Quite good, in fact. Quite a little
bit of fresh vegetables get thru to
us. We have a large refrigerator

Haven’t heard from my girl

Glad to hear Stuart is growing

sticking out.
From what we hear of the Solo
