CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER Poor old Chowder was in the soup on Tuesday because there wasn’t room for it. Soothing words from the ad dept. explained that the reason for so many ads was the popularity of the page. Flattery will get them no where. . .except of course financially. Christmas cards from overseas include one to the Citizen staff from our composing room pet, Junior (Percy Curry, Jr.,) now in Korea with the U. S. Marine Corps. The card was a map of Korea in green with a red line dividing North and South sections. Another to Chowder, personally, came from Al and Jean Frizzell now in Yokohama, Japan. It’s a i handmade Japanese design with a red pagoda showing through tall Pine trees against a sky studded with white dots. . .either stars or king-size snowflakes? A little . boy is rolling a big snowball in the foreground which is also figured with two romping dogs and ki- monaed figure with a parasol. Al is the Red Cross head in that area. They write that the scenery is beautiful, people most pleasant and “life in general very easy,” adding that there are so many. naval officers stationed there who were in Key West three years ago that on arrival “we knew almost as many people in this far off land as we did back home. See you in about a year!” They have retained their own home in Key West. Ad- dress them, W. R. Frizzell, Ameri- can Red Cross, Navy 3923, care of Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, Calif.
