ings they have services in the chapel Last evening six of us in our outfit went up for the services. We had a very nice song service after which the chaplain led a discussion of the religion of these Arabs here in tfii; country and town. The chaplain had been t > see an old lady in town that was a missionary sent from England to work heie. She was 82 years old. I don’t think there is any need te lend missionaries here as these people believe just the opposite from Christianity. They have no desin to raise their standards of living. In fact some desire to be of the lower class so they can do things for the higher class cf people and masters. Their religion believes that the children should wear their hair very short and leave a handful of hair on right side long so their lord can pick them up by that or guide them around. It seems that they aim tc tell lies instead of telling the truth. Another thing, the Arabs and thei: Mohammed religion don’t believe in using soap as most soap is made from pork and they aren’t supposed to use pork: therefore we see very few hogs over here and I guess what we do see are owned by the French. I can’t remember all that was said in the discussion but I did enjoy it a '< gn at deal. The chaplain said he

This is a letter received by M*\ and Mrs. Lona E. Page from their son somewhere in North Africa. His adress is :Sgt. Lona H. Page, A.S.N. I 35580642, 499th Service Sydn. APO | 9027— Postmaster, New York. N. Y.

Somewhere in North Africa: Dear folks— How are both of you this last day of the year? I am still where I have been and am feeling fine and having plenty to eat. All we buy at the PX now is rationed and we can on- i iy get so much a week. I am not getting all the candy I have been used to eating so if you want to send me ssme candy, just any kind you can get to send, will be all right. We had to turn in all our old bills and have the gold seal put on them before we could use our money over here. Sometimes we get francs back for our change at the PX. This is the kind of money used here: I am sending you five francs which is equal to 10 cents. You can see by this I could have a pocket full of bills and not have a dollar. Yesterday I went to town with a detail to get some equipment and on the way we saw several sights. We saw a camel and a man plowing in a field by the road with a team of oxen. This morning I saw an Arab farmer out back of our camp, lay off a land with a plow then broadcast the seed by hand on the ground before plowing It then I guess he plowed the seed in. I would say these people must be at least a hundred years behind us in America in farming and cultivating the land. Some of us boys were talking to this Arab farmer back of our camp and the man has 7 wives and 52 children. He told one of the boys he would trade a child for a couple of cartons of cigarettes.
