Singer, even though he is a prisoner of the Japanese, has rewarded Mrs. Rachael Singer when she received a card from him through the War Department at Washington from the Imperial Japanese War Prisoner Military camp, No. 1, on the Philippine Islands where her son is an internee. Her happiness was unbounded as she gazed upon his handwriting once again and knew that at last she had made personal contact with him. The card was the first written message she had received. The signature was in long hand as has been the custom of other cards received through the Japanese military department and received by families of other prisoners but the message was typed. Previously these have been underscored form letters. The message read, "Dear Mother, I am feeling fine, hope you are the same. No need to worry. Tell everyone hello for me. Please write. Your loving son, Floyd L. Singer." For the past number of months, Mrs. Singer has been working through the International Red Cross in trying to contact her son and just a few weeks ago she received word through this organization that her telegram had been delivered to him in the prison camp. She feels that she can write to him now that she has made contact with him. Her many friends rejoice with her in her glad news. S/Sgt. W. G.
