Today I attended church services in our chapel, built entirely of native material except for the cement deck Ciloorl. I've always known of buildings made of grass and bark, but I'd never seen any until I got out here. One mess hall is made entirely of rough lumber and roofed with a white bark that grows here. The chapel is built of the same material, but is roofed with grass. It has a screened opening all the way round. It's about four feet from the floor and reaches to the roof. This provides good light and ventilation. It really is beautiful with a rustic cross on the roof, and the doors open directly below. How is everything in school? lt's almost over now. I'm sure going to miss seeing the graduation exercises. Two months now and it will be a year since I've been over here, but I guess I've still got a lot to go. It sure will be great to see Plymouth again! I ! Pfc. Joseph B. Sylvia CMarine Air Groupj 'Somewhere in the Pacific It's very hot here. Itls the summer season, and we get a sun- burn in fifteen minutes. and a tan in a few days. We work six and a half days a week, and get half a day off. I'm all grease from head to foot. I have to wash my clothes practically every other day. The cars travel on the left hand side of the road here. We get paid in Australian money. At first it was difficult, but now we know how to use it and also how to spend it. Practically every- thing is rationed here including ice. clothes, and shoes,-but meat is unrationed and a steak dinner costs only forty-eight cents. We live in pyramid tents, five men to a tent. The food is very good, and we have free outdoor movies, two P.X.'s, and three Chapels. Pfc. John Youngman Somewhere in Australia Some of the Arabs are lazy, and they are sly businessmen. The first month here they charged small prices for their merchandise, but, when they saw how much we had, they raised their prices sky high. Here the soldiers become shrewd businessmen-or at least try to be. They make the Arabs cut open a melon and, if they think it is good, they ask the price. The G.I.'s try to bring the price down, but the Arabs are stubborn. The G.I.'s price goes up a little, and the Arab's goes down a little. But the G.I. knows that the Arab has to get rid of the melon since it is cut. The G.I. mentions his price again, and the Arab fails to agree. The G.I. simply walks away as if he isn't interested, but not too fast-for he knows that the Arab will call him back. Sometimes it doesn't happen, but most of the time it works-but, even if the G.I. gets the melon, he knows that he has been overcharged. There are several classes of Arabs. I know very little about the upper class. They always look clean and neat. We usually see them in the towns or city during the day, hardly ever at night. Pfc. Manuel Amaral Africa Page 24
