Lloyd DuPereWrites From BaseThe following letter was receiv-

ed this week from Lloyd DuPere,

graduate of Poison high school

and former resident, by his par-

ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Dupere,

who are now living at Spokane.

The letter was written from his

army base on a volcanic island in

the Mediterranean sea:

"It's time to write again and

this time I have a little more to

write about. In my last letter, I

believe I told you that we were

going to have a celebration on

August 6, for our one year over-

seas. Well, we had the big day,

so now I can tell you about it.

"We got to sleep in until 7:30,

at which time we got up and had

breakfast from 8 until 8:45 a. m.;

at 9 o'clock we had a group pic-

ture taken. If they turn out well

and if I can get two of them, I'll

send you one."At 10 o'clock, we started on a

trip around the is/and with one

command car, ten trycks and one

ambulance. It was a very inter-

esting trip because we followed

the coast road all the time and got

a good view of everything. On

the way around, we stopped at

one spot for 45 minutes for swim-

ming. I didn't go in, as it was a

little too deep for me."We got back to the bivouac

area at 1:30 and from then until

2:30 we had a chance to wash up

and rest a little. From 2:30 to

4 o'clock, we had dinner—and

what a meal. I'm going to en-

close our menu and everything

that is on it. Don't think we eat

like that all the time—we don't.

We had a public address system

and had music all through the

meal, also a speaker outside, so

we could listen while we were

'sweating the chow line.'

-After the meal, they had one

half hour to clean up the mess

hall, at which time the program

and drinks started. The program

consisted of a few speeches from

our officers and a guest officer.

The rest of it was all talent from

the squadron, and if I do say so,

we have some good singers, etc.

The drinks consisted of Italian

wine, American rum and 190 proof

medical alcohol—mixed of course.

As always, I didn't drink. but Bob

and myself got a big kick out of

watching the others stagger. That

lasted until around 6:30, when

there was a break until show time.

"The show was "Eagle Squad-

ron," and wasn't any good. At

10:30 we went to bed. One thing

about it, I felt good the next day

while about two-thirds of the

other fellows didn't look so good,

and felt about as bad."It wasn't a bad day, but to tell

you the truth, I really didn't enjoy

myself at all. I got to thinking

too much, and I guess you might

say I was lonesome and homesick.

One year is a long time, and I hope

it isn't another year before I get

back."I'm still feeling 0. K. Can't

seem to get my weight back, but

will one of these days.—Lloyd DuPere."

An Open Letter:Guadacanal, 1942.

(Delayed)Dear Family:

It is nice to hear from youafter such a long period of time,but it is unpleasant to learn ofyour changed condition of liv-ing, which I can readily under-stand from the change of myown conditions.

It is too bad that you are lim-ited in the use of your automo-bile. I know 'how it is to walkthrough miles and miles ofswamp and jungle, so I under-stand.

It is too bad to have yourchoice of food limited. I have

experienced this too, exceptthere is no choice here, so I un-derstand.

It is too bad that Bobby hasto work so many hours a day atthe defense plant. I have towork night as well as day, so Iunderstand.

It is too bad that Bobby has

such little time for amusement.

I am deprived of amusementtoo, so I understand.

It is too bad that you have towait in the rain for transporta-

tion. I have to wait in the rain

on post and my transportation

and my destination is uncertain

too, so I understand.It is too bad that you are be-

ing paid so little for working

so hard, I only get a fraction of

your pay, so I understand.Winning the war is hard on

all of us. You work long hours

and so do I. So I understand.But during these hours I get

shot at. Do you understand?

Your loving son,

BACK UP OUR FIGHTINGMEN!
