382 Sunday 25 November 5:15 pm My dearest darling This has been a busy weekend! Last night one of the Nisei boys asked me if I’d like to go fishing with them (they go about twice a week, and I've long intended to); so vowing to postpone no longer, I went, along with Arthur Szathmary. The place was Tinian harbor, off the docks, and the fishing for the first half hour was brisk until the searchlight of a ship turned on the water nearby (so that members of the crew could swim) made all the fish jump but stopped them from biting. We caught two or three dozen amongst us - I got 5 of a size such that two would make a good serving. I brought a dozen back to the officers’ gallery and spent an hour cleaning the, till midnight; several of us had them for breakfast this morning. The boys calls them Akuli-kuli, or just Akuli for short. They were good eating without being anything very special, but the fishing was fun. Today the Japanese Boy and Girl Scouts had [pg 2] a two-hour sanitation parade, with all sorts of banners about cleanliness and health, marching all through the byways of the Japanese camp. The big event, though, was a Korean school track meet lasting from 8:30 this morning till 4 this afternoon; Barry and I spent almost 3 hours watching it and took 50 feet of 16 mm black and white movies. Tomorrow I'm having the program translated and typed up so that I can remember and tell you about some of the events - many very amusing. Properly it was a field day rather than just a track meet, and was held in commemoration of the anniversary of the Korean school's establishment. As for the movie-taking, we’re going to try to get enough film from the 313th Wing to make a 15-minute silent movie on the camp and its various activities, then have prints made for those who are interested. It would probably cost us $25 to $35 apiece but it would be well worth it. I might even be able to make up [pg 3] the cost by giving a partly illustrated lecture sometime, depending, of course, on where we are. Such a film would be particularly appropriate for Barry to have for professional purposes. 9 pm Back from a movie to which I went largely because I'm duty officer today and the duty officer must be at the opening of the show. It turned out to be amusing and I stayed. Darling, I'll be so glad to hold you in my arms again- I love you Warren P.S. Your lazy husband (I really have been for the past couple of months!) is going to kept busy from now till the end of his stay on Tinian. See enclosure.
