Bruder Wishes Lanny Ross Had Been More Thoughtful

When American entertainers Lanny Ross, Little Jack Little and Ray Bolger visited that tiny island in the Pacific, Sgt. Charles W.

He formerly wrote his parents from “Somewhere in the South Pacific,” but his last letter said “My address has changed again, folks.” “Charles can’t say much in his letters,” Mrs, Bruder said. “But we got a glimpse of what his South Pacific island was like from an article from Yank magazine he inclosed in a letter,

“The article said that the island |

was a pinpoint and couldn't be seen from high flying planes,” she said. “Here men wear shorts, helmets and sun glasses because the sun is so hot. “The men can't get any radio re ception from the, states, but always get Tokyo, she quoted. “The island is white sand and coral, and the men swim every night at sunset, she continued. “They built a chapel on the isolated island, where only & few natives live.

“At night they go lobster hunting |.

with flashlights and rubber gloves and put the lobsters in a pall of hot water to cook,” ghe quoted. The 19-year-old gunner is a Tech high school graduate and was active in local Scout work. . He enlisted last October and received his wings at Lowry field, Denver, Colo. His parents got a letter from Hawaii in June, where he was two weeks be: afore being sent elsewhere in the Pacific.
