J.A. COMBAT TEAM

Distinctive Shoulder Patch For
Soldiers In J. A. Combat Team
CAMP SHELBI, Miss.—A new
and distinctive shoulder patch has
been approved for the Japanese
American Combat Team, to replace
the present Third Army insignia
which they now wear.

It is officially described as “A
blue disc bordered in white, charged
with red and white bomb burst in
back of a yellow g-auntleted arm
holding a sword. This symbol re­
presents the army of the Yellow
Race taking- up arms in the defense
of the National Colors of the
United States.”
In addition to the shoulder patch,
personnel of the Infantry Regiment
in the Combat Team are expected
to have their own regimental insig­
nia. This coat of arms’, approved by
the War Department, is shield-like
in shape with red, white and blue
for its colors. A Mississippi river
steamboat appearing in the lower,
blue field is in honor of the state
in wliich the regiment was activat­
ed. The upper, red field is left blank
for any mark commemorating any
achievement in battle. The famous
“Go For Broke” motto is inscribed
beneath the shield. The slogan,
signifying “shoot the works” and
“all for nothing”, was brought to
the.camp by Nisei volunteers from
Hawaii.

At present most of us are work­

Moonlight Mood ...
The Kaslo 'moon had wafted over
the dark sleepy mountains across
the blue-green Kootenay Lake and
the shimmering waves reflected her
beams in a wide ever-moving band
of gold ... it was a beautiful night
... the countless sparkling stars in
the blue-back sky were dimmed by
the full glow of the golden disc ..
“ahhh, night, lovely, serene and
peaceful night . .. night filled with
soft silence and only the gentle
murmur of the water that marred,
nay, enhanced the wonderous tran­
quility ...”
'
The beauty of the summer night
had roused the hidden poet in me,
and baring my chest to the warm
breeze that floated from across the
blue I breathed, sighed, and was
conquered ...

So armed with soap and towel
and a great air of determination
... I had tested the water with
none oo heartening results... I
plunged recklessly into the surf .. .
The silence, the serenity, the
loveliness of the Kaslo night...
the spell that the full moon casts
over a peaceful lake .. .was shat­
tered abruptly by an involuntary—
“Ohh, migosh it’s cold !!! Why
in the heck did I come in this. ..
Yahoo Ill ”
I felt like a heel, albeit a moderately clean one, -when I finally
stumbled on numbed feet out of
'the chilly Kootenay water and
headed definitely for home, sweet
and warm, home........

Confident of the Future
DOMINION CITY, Man.—The
spring of this year came very late
and tlie planting of our vegetable
seeds and plants could not be done
till June. Even-the oak tree did not
put on its summer coat till very
late.
Because of the heavy rain, there
was much weed growth this year,
making thinning very difficult.
However, with a year’s experience
and the children working harder,
even with one less working hand,
we accomplished two acres more.
We were paid one-and-a-half times
more for the operation. We are
proud of pur children for working
so hard and as a treat for them,

we went to Winnipeg for a brief
visit at the end of July.
Beginning next week, stocking
wheat bundles will be my work.
The eldest son, from a week ago,
is busy driving the tractor for the
combine machine.
We had some anxiety for our
vegetables because of the rain and
the resulting coldness, but at the
present time the garden is coming
along splendidly. Our melon, how­
ever, was hit by a slight frost.
Tomatoes from our garden have
now appeared on the table. We are
expecting our first frost sometime
late in August or early September.

wouldn’t be any back talk from

The “Old Sweat” further com­

he will practically be broke, but
when the war stops, then those
millions will come in handy to
someone.”
