Weather Bureau office, shows a year that was 1.1 degrees above noimal in its mean temperature. The coldest day of I iu* -year was February 6 at 51 degrees below aero, and the hottest day, July tl at tS5 degrees. “A striking fact shown In the summary Is that sunshine throughout the entire year in Fairbanks averaged 6.8 hours a day, something for folks to think about who regard this as a land of darkness. Theis were 2,496 hours of sunshine during the year, and while December had only 36 hours of this or a little more than one hour daily average, June had 473 hours which was better than 13 hours daily.” (Excerpts from article in Jessen's Weekly, Fairbanks Alaska, February 11, 1944.)

Vegetables raised in j these Hardens seem to have an enikised in the average garden in th-j dtates. It is thought by some to b;* due to the minerals in the soil. Much of the food setved in the hotel is

In 1941 there were only lfew log cabins left and the population was about 50. Circle City, when founded, was thought to lay on the arctic circle but was later found to
lie about 50 miles south.

KNEBKL WRITES (ConIIillicit from l*ay:c One) fact greets the motor pool men when they get up and they are tlk? early risers of the camp, as they have to gas, clean and prepare jeeps for the day’s run. hi that they ana the first up ,and in that they are nearest his home and always have some- • me around in the day fixing the one jeep that stays In to get a complete ovvrhaul each day. Tony stays around that area. He busily follows the drivers but when six foot, big • bones, amiable Ostendorff comes out of his tent, tiny Tony follows him and helps him until Ostenlorff takes off for the front. Ostendorff speaks nary a word of Italian but Tony prefers him to the Eytie speaking or any of the other drivers when Ostendorff
is around.
“Like all the mascots, Tony is learning some English or should I say American. Of course, I need not add that it is not the choice words but it is typical soldier lingo. And like all mascots, Tony is getting completely clothed in GI clothing. The boys tried t) bathe him one day. They washed hh hand and face but he would not le: them take off one piece of clothing. Then one of the father's got the idea of contributing his coveralls, that had holes from acid in several places, to be made into a suit for Tony. He goes to a nearby town and w 11 be suited tomor-j row. One of the boy’s tried to lallon a suit. It reminded me of when my sister made her a doll dress and I sewed the arms and the hem into one
piece.
“Mascots I have seen here include a two foot high model that threw as snappy a salute at me as any M. P. has ever given, and in the army here they really do the saluting. He had an MP painted on his helmet, a black and white MP armband, a suit that really was GI and that really fit and he was standing sentrylike, with two -MPs’s at a Prisoner
of War cage.
"One day when riding along I noticed a flap on th* back of a British truck that seemed to open and have someone peek out. Finally, it was only several seconds later, the back flap was pulled back and a little tot was seated on the floor, leaning in Tommy fashion, against the stuff in the back of the truck. He was playing a mouth-organ. His eyes wore just rolling in his dirt grimed face, and he was as happy as a
lark.
On many occasions I have been riding along and a peep will pass with thret in front. Now a peep just has no room for anyone in the middle but in these peeps the center had a box or special made seat In some cases and that Is where the' mascot ridvs. They often have uni-J forms like the boys they entertain.' I guess there is a mother instinct in the soldiers, or just a desire to have someone to lavish their affection on. Unfortunately It sometimes goes too far. I have seen an occasional advertisement where a family desires to have their son back. The camp moves forward and the mascot goes along. The boys, in some cases, just
get too attached In other cases the Inasrot longs for his buddies and just takes off searching for the men who made life so grand for him. “It is a funny country. I seldom write about such things like these. Thvy are just a part of the everyday existences. One sees thvm, makes mental notes of them, and then they fade into another scene equally fascinating, often mort' interesting. "Work is really heavy these days. I love it like I have loved few jobs before. It is so creative, so much my own baby that it is a pleasure that knows no description to watch it grow. To haw all the snags I have ^ ironed out every day and to be as | short of help and in the impossible predicament of not being able to get more sometimes is unbearable but then comes the chance to show that it can be managed even this way. Someday we will all be together, and we will have everybody out of the hospital and then I hope it will really roll.”
