Allied Infantryman Describes Korea As Newly Arrived Troops Find It By SFC CHARLIE ERICKSEN WITH THE 40TH INFANTRY DIVISION, Korea (P)—Introductions, by nature, are strained and strange. Such was the case when Infantrymen of the 40th Division arrived here recently and met the Korean war. We first viewed Korea through an early-morning haze in the harbor of Inchon. From the rallings of our troopships we saw Korea in silhouette—a land of jagged mountains. One soldier, Cpl. Ken Neill, Los Angeles, thought it looked like Catalina Island "just when the fishermen begin arriving." Under heavy packs and carrying equally heavy barracks bags, we marched ashore to board battle-bound trains. Once moving, we learned rapidly the bitterness of the war we were to join. Mountains, giant and white, appeared to rule the land. They were the only landmarks unharmed by the cruel campaigns we had read about while training for combat in California and Japan. Farmers walked barefoot over their small, levy plots. Children, ill-clad and runny-nosed, chanted greetings as we passed—greetings like "Food, please" and "Candy, please" and "You give." Rusting, shell-torn army vehicles lay on either side of the track. Bridges, once strong and vital, jutted half-way across rivers and then folded into the waters they were built to span nowhere with a Korean soldier standing guard over it. There was the young woman who tried to throw a stone at our train and fell on a slippery street. There was another woman, older and perhaps more friendly, standing under snowing skies and hanging out her week's wash. Always and everywhere, there was poverty and destruction and mountains, and the rotten combination caused Cpl. Dalton Sowers, San Francisco, to ask wryly, "We're fighting for this?" We climbed off the train in the middle of the night to board trucks. Snow was still falling and someone said it was 12 degrees below zero. It felt like it, especially when our convoy began rolling. It was Cpl. Domingo Diaz, Los Angeles, who commented, "guess the weather has declared war on us too." As we traveled the boom of artillery grew louder. We knew the front wasn't far. Neither was morning. Suddenly we were jarred from our frozen sleep by a "bang" from the left front tire. The driver swore, pulled his truck to the side of the slick, narrow road and said, "blowout." Later we arrived at a depot called Tent City. It was a day or two before we started forward again to take our places on the front line. But already we were prepared. We had envisioned the worst and basic instructions in value, for color will be hung on display. The scenes consist of sketches of La Palma park, the Santa Mountains, Buena Park farm. Farmers walked barefoot over their small, icy plots. Children, ill-clad and runny-nosed, chanted greetings as we passed—greetings like "Food, please" and "Candy, please" and "You give." Rusting, shell-torn army vehicles lay on either side of the track. Bridges, once strong and vital, jutted half-way across rivers and then folded into the waters they were built to span. On the fingers of one hand, Cpl. David Cripe of Santa Monica counted the number of buildings still covered by roofs. He broke a chilly silence by commenting, "A guy in the roofing business could move over here and make a fortune." Other sights, less cruel, amused us. There were women carrying huge pots on their heads. There were children skating on frozen-over rice paddies. There was a ramshackle hut in the middle of CONQUER YOUR CONSTIPATION A remarkable medical discovery is offered in McCoy's Norm Taba. You can quickly conquer your constipation and restore regularity.

SAFEWAY FOR WEST APPETE Trail Little Girl with Cancer Wants to Share Valentine’s Day with Others ALANTA (UP)—A small little with cancer who won hearts and the world last year when asked for a valentine is eager now and hopes she can others this Feb. 14. Year ago, 13-year-old Jacob Marre, confined to bed or wheel chair and given only months to live, wistfully she “could be someone’s tine.” Though the marvels of modern unification and the unprepared wonder of human kind—the wish was answered in caring fashion from the far ends of the earth. But a million and a half of mail flooded the modest home, literally causing the to sag. The waste paper netted school drives several hundred dollars. More than 500 boxes of candy other gifts poured in. Open letters has gone on and on till an estimated 50,000 envelopes remain sealed. Candy and boxes were sent Hans’ homes and children’s alts.

Sumpter, Ore., a boom-town in gold rush days, burnt to the ground during the booms days and has never been rebuilt. It was a year ago the world heard about Jackie. Her parents had noticed when she was nearly 11 that something was wrong. Doctors’ diagnoses: Cancer. After the second of three major brain operations they termed it incurable. Two years ago Jackie was unconscious on Valentine day and too sick to know when the next Christmas came. That’s why last year, when her parents brought her home from a hospital, Valentine day was so important. She asked for a valentine, and her life hasn’t been the same since. Sailors at sea made her their pin-up girl; firemen, Girl Scout troops, businessmen, children and a general responded. Money was returned with a request that it be given to cancer funds. Many have continued writing and 600 sent Christmas cards. Mrs. Marre, who has three younger children, tries to answer as many of the letters as she can. Jackie has read that doctors last year gave her only three months to live but says with a smile, “I’m feeling fine. I fooled them.” Will the postman ring again at 416 Ninth St., N.E. Atlanta, this Valentine day? Jackie hopes so, because she knows no better. ill an estimated 50,000 ensures remain sealed. candy and boxes were sent hans' homes and children's als.
