Dear Mom:
I one at present deep in
the heaa of the midnight
shift at the weather shack
and time is wrighing pretty
heavily on my hands I have
numerous Opportunities to -
write letters up here but it
seems so futile if I can't get
them out However this is
written on the basis of a
wild rumor that I may get
to mail it Here's hoping
With every passing day
fall more deeply in love with
my little Shangri-La To es-
tablish a home in a place
never seen by man before is
somewhat of a thrill in itself
and every building or piece
of equipment we erect seems
to hold a very personal feel-
ing of pride
This whole deal would have
you think of a well-planned
aeration in the wilds some-
place Just a bunch of boys
building a home for them-
selves and living in it just
like they want to live in it
No more GI Army life for
us We live in a little three-
room house--kitchen dining-room
and sleeping Quarters--that
is run just like a
hunting lodge
We take care of our own
beds and laundry we have a
brand-new washing machine
and roller ironer that would
make any hitisewife envi-
ousi Each man uses the
washer whenever and if he
wants to And too we all
pitch in and help with the
dishes which can be done in
twenty minutes Each man
has his special chores to do
One takes care of the water

other feeds the dogs etc

—Sen James E Murray D
Mont advocating up to $35 a
week unemployment compensa-
tion in the war reconversion per-
iod today rejected any compro-
mise with an opposing senate
coalition and demanded a show-
down vote on the issue of federal
versus state standards of jobless
benefits
In an apparent appeal to
sikte's rights democrats to aban-
don their alliance with republi-
cans Murray declared:
Economic Protection
"I can't think of anything
worse for the democratic party
than to have the bill defeated
by republicans who are offering
nothing in its place
Murray told reporters he held
the unemployment compensation
features of the Murray-Kilgore
demobilization bill as essential
to protect against a serious econ-
omic crisis when full-scale war
production is cut drastically
The senate was called into ses-
sion an hour earlier than usual
anal ntoday in a neffort to me-
diate a vote on the issue but sen-
stf democratic leader Alben W
Barkley of Kentucky conceded
that it may be necessary to hold

the SCIII Dinner mentioned In
the previoum one:
Somewhere in Olee Wand
July 29 1944
It's a kind of old lonesome
twilight outside and I've got
a few spark minutes and
since I've been thinking Of
you all day I think I'll knock
out a line or two
We are about to see the
last clay of July fade with
no sign of relief In sight
All winter we were looking
forward to July as our "month
of release" bui now that it
Is here and almost gone—
NA have to pick an-
other month
A few minutes ago I fin-
ished a "seal dinner" we
had been soaking our seal
for the past few clays and to
night we decided to Lanquet
We rolled it in flour mut
then in dehydrated onions
and then fried it almost crisp
We were expecting a fishy or
oily flavor like the bear meat
but we were due for a sur-
prise It was excellent! Vet)
sinitiar to very tender beef
It fill apart We have hail
no fresh meat now in over
two months except for three
meals after a parachute drop
of July 4th So the seal was
something It made me think
of Mom's hamburgers Maybe
I could send back some seal
meat and you could serve
"Sealburgers"
I cut one of the fellow's
hair today We were just a
small binich of specialized
Army men sent up here and
It would be unthinkable to
furnish us a barber But—
Qmartermaster furnished us
cliepers hand combs and
straight razors All we had
to do was learn to use them
Most of the fellows had
never used scissors except for
toenails and the results made
us look like prisoners or guinea-pigs
at first
The boys are getting more
rtirticular of late sJecause
we don't know when we'll
leave here and they hope to
go back to civilization look-
ing human
The scenery is still nice
but a little monotonous by
now
That's the good word for
now
