EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUAR
TERS, LEYTE, P. I.—The Tropi
cal Bureau of the Alaskan Cham
ber of Commerce is small, but ac
tive.
In fact, its sole member on Ley
te Island, so far as is known, is
Technician Fifth Grade Joseph W.
Collins, assigned to the Adjutant
General’s Section of Lt. Gen. Rob

Headquarters.
“Sweating it out” in the humid
heat of the Torrid zone, Cpl. Col
lins of Nome and Candle, Alaska,
| longs for the day when he can re
turn to his home on the fringe of
the Arctic Circle. And he spends
plenty of time telling fellow-GIs
of the advantages and opportuni
ties of his adopted land. If the ex
pected rush of tourists and home
makers to Alaska after the war
turns to an avalanche, residents
of the so-called “frozen north”
can hand a goodly part of the
praise—or blame—to Cpl. Colins.

start a post-war hegira to the
United States’ most northerly ter
ritory, Cpl. Collins points out to
perspiring fellow-soldiers thtft “it
is much easier to become accli
mated to cold than to heat.” He
says, furthermore, that living in
the cold of the far north is both
healthful and invigorating, and
doesn’t forget to point out that!
summer in Alaska is ideal. Cer-!
ain that Alaska’s future is assur
ed, he admits, however, that many
difficulties must be overcome,
particularly in transportation, be- j
fore the Territory reaches its peak
of productivity and prosperity.
Mental pictures of snow, ice and .
the midnight sun have a way of
