‘Last 6 Months. in Camp Period of Perpetual Hunger for. Us.

Here is the sixth and last of a series of articles based on the day-by-day diary kept by a civilian nurse from Pasco, Wash,, during her 37 months interment by the Japanese at the children’s hospital at Santo Tomas camp.)

By PEARL LA CARMA HAVEN As told to FRANCIS McCARTHY United Press Staff Correspondent SANTO TOMAS, Philippines, Feb. 26.—The last six months of our internment was a period of per-
