Former Valdez Girl ;
Wears Few Man’s Shoes
—
Mrs. A. J. Dimond, wife of the1
former Delegate to Congress has
i
received a letter from her sister
who lives in France and has made
her home there since 1930. She
sta es that clothes are very scarce
and that she has been forced to
wear her father-in-law’s shoes.
She states she is allowed five
pounds of sugar each month for
a family of five and potatoes are
cooked entirely without the flavor
of butter or grease. “Here there
is too much hatred between the
people one has no friends; their
lives are spent in too much talk
ing and not enough action of good
deeds.” Mrs. Colback, the writer
of the letter, is a former Valdez
girl.

remaining thirty percent will go
into the manufacture of boxes for
shipment of fish to our armed
services and for essential civilian
use. !
Eskimo Slippers
Somewhere In France
Pfc. Bill Craft of Anchorage,
somewhere in France, writes that
while the folks in the States were
watching the progress • of their
army on the battlefront, a pair of
Eskimo made slippers from his
brother in Nome stole the spot
light in his baracks and caused
considerable comment and inter
est and he wouldn’t be surprised
if many more pairs will find their
way into the 963rd Field Artillery
before the war is over.
