Editor, The Citizen: This is a belated apology for my failure to keep my appoint- ment with you before leaving good old Key West for the Far East. Actually, I was trying to do too much in a limitted time. 1 wanted to store up enough Key West and the Keys in my memory, yes, even in my heart, to last thru this tour of ovérseas duty. As a result, I was involved in a fishing trip when I should have been, as promised, at the Citizen Office. I can only repeat that I am sorry to have let sel-} fishness interfere with our ap- | pointment, but I am looking for- in the American custom of the | Ward to it upon my return to the} strip tease.

There are some fine beaches where waters almost as blue (but not quite) as ours wash the sands. The island has fine roads (which we lack in Okinawa, but are a-building) and in some stretches of highway between. Andersen AFB and Harmon AFB I can al. most picture the Overseas High- way on Key Largo, except for da. My primary complaint is about the water, which comes from wells and tastes rather less salty. The net result is that most like being Stateside. For one thing, the prices greatly resemble those in USA-Shima. For another, the practice of tipping, which is dis- couraged in most occupied areas (which this isn’t) is very much in evidence. Since Guam is a US US currency is used here, and the way the green- backs turn into silver, and the way the silver seems to evapor- ate into thin air is so much like being States-side that's almost phenomenal. But in the long run Guam, just because it’s so much like Florida, gets my rating of A-l. Okinawa, while it is almost on the same parallel of latitude as South Florida, is not nearly as tropical. One thing we have in common are the typhoons which are just as mean as our hurri- canes. All buildings, which are mostly of the Quonset or other forms of prefabs, are firmly an- chored to the ground by steel cables. Some newly completed buildings, and others still under construction or in the planning Stage, are of what is called ty- phoon-proof construction. That is, they are built of reinforced concrete and seem very sturdy even to a _hurricane-conscious Conch. I believe that they will make the grade in anything un- |der a typhoon of the caliber of ;the 1935 hurricane, Inasmuch as Mary has fold me in her letters that she has heard jradio broadcasts which have Stated that Okinawa is destined to become the Pearl Harbor of the Far East, I conclude that such information must be con- |Sidered “Unclassified.” I think December 1941, and I wonder Miss Neff said that “The Sin-|fice of the Deputy for Materiel,| Whether or not the time may ner” has been causing riots at its|Hq 20th AF, Kadena Air Force |\COme when it may become But showings in Europe. claimed that was because subject matter, not her mudi! said church groups had tests over the film suicide at she Gg f 3 Hi 4 I Tih t re es & FI ila fe rn re others that can be seen only those over 18. “In the United States, only one classification.

Not only did Jack whomp up a slick-paper siren song of the deep, to stir my Danish blood, but had to have Alexis de Sakhnifsky illus- trate it, in color yet. This Kofoed-Esquire-Sakhnoff- sky day-dream provoker con- cerns a flashy ,streamlined little boat that makes the average fish- ing craft look like an old scow. She is twenty three and a half feet long, has an eight foot beam, skims along at from thirty-five to forty miles an hour and costs $4,950.00. Jack calls her the “Bonita” for the sake “of dec- orating her stern.” But I have dubbed her “Lorelie” because she has lured me from my course and drown’d me in fathoms of dreams. 1 will forgive Jack’s work dis- turbing shenanigans if he will brief me on how to dig up the $4,950 necessary to procure this beautiful brainchild of the tal- ented Vincent Santini.
