He carne up to Asheville, and Doctor Smith told him he would dir of anything except what they sent him to Asheville for, so that he might as well go back to Jacksonville. He liked Asheville so much he decided to stay here. In 1903, he opened a pawn shop at 23 South Main Street (now Biltmore Avenue). He married Fannye Sherman fro m Newport News, Virginia, and they made their home in an apartment on Ashland Avenue. Harry and Fannyr Finkrlsuin.

Congregation Beth-Ha-Tephila I served as President 1948 ro 1950. On August 23, 1891, twenty-seven men met in Lyceum Hall and adopted a constitution for Congregation Berh-Ha-Tephila. Among me charter members were me Blomberg, Lipinsky, and Zagier families. It is noted that me dues were $10 a year, payable in advance. Lyceum Hall was me first home of me Congregation. Ir was rented from a fraternal order for $75 a year. Congregation Bikur Cholim I served as Vice President before World War II. Rabbi Londow became me rabbi for Congregation Bikur Cholim whose articles of incorporation were filed in the Court Clerk's office in February 1899. The incorporators were }.B. Schwaraberg, A. Blomberg, Sam Feinstein, S.H. Michalove, A. Shenbaum, M. Zuglier, and RB. Zagier. Since the community could nor pay Rabbi Londow a decent wage, he operated a Jewish grocery sto re on rhe side. He was a kindly old gencleman wid! a big beard, wore his hat around rhe grocery store ar all rimes except when a lady called him on the telephone. He would remove the hat during the conversation and pur ir back o n his head after the phone call. I remember a big barrel of herring in the center of me store. Plain herring were five centS each and milk herring ren cents. A newly married lady in the Congregation once called Rabbi Londow and complained that a duck she bought from him was old and roo rough ro eat. Rabbi Londow asked her �fo ~ In 1911, erection of a house of worship was started on South Liberty Street Congregation Bikur Cholim. Although it wasn't completed until 1916, the Hebr w'Scl!_ool moved there in 191 2. When I was I I years old, I attended Hebrew school conduct the rabbi on Saturday morning in the edifice of the synagogue. The sancruary contained nothing but pews and a coal stove for hear. The basement was used for storage and resr rooms. In the winter time the rabbi fiXed the stove for a fire Friday so thar it could be lir Saturday morning ro produce hear for the Hebrew class. what did she expect him to do - look down the duck's mouth and count its teeth! The first religious services of Bikur Cholim I remember attending were on the second floor of a bwlding at the corner of Patton Avenue and Church Street. lr was early in the life of Bikur Cholim thar the congregation split up due ro a big argument. Half of the members formed another congregation and called ir Anshei Hashuron. They rented a second floor of an apanment house at the corner of Central Avenue and Woodfin Street. However, through the efforts of the impartial moderates, a compromise was reached and a permanent division averted. Since the rabbi shouldn't light a fire or spend money on the Sabbath, he arranged for a boy in the neighborhood ro light the fire Saturday morning. He placed a dime under a prayer book Friday and rold the boy where to ger the dime after lighting the fire on Saturday. Nevertheless, the apanmenr was kepr for a religious school. Ir was here thar I received my first Hebrew lesson. Rabbi Fox was reaching us the four questions ro ask at our Passover meal. At this time my father attended all the board meetings of Bikur C holim.rle ou d come home upset and nervous. Or. Smith suggested he nor attend any mor~agog meetings due to hjs high blood pressure. .f!c- / e..... Rabbi Fox was active on the 9th and I Oth degrees of Scottish Rite ry. After his death I assumed his parts in these degrees and I was on the degree teams until retiring in 1995. Even in those days educational institutions had trouble with rebelling students. One real cold morning the boy didn't show up ro lighr the fire. We were arrending Hebrew class in swearers, coats and overcoats and ir was awful cold. I asked to be excused and coming up from the basement I reported ro Rabbi Redunsky that the plumbing must have frozen as rhere was water lc:alcing in several places The Rabbi went to see about it. I advised the Orthodox Rules and Hebrew School Sevenry-five to 100 years ago there were two synagogues in Asheville. My fam ily belonged ro the orthodox. The orthodox had srricr rules for obeying the Sabbath which began Friday at sundown and ended Saturday night. The members of Bikur Cholim who owned an automobile would put them in the garage on Friday evening ro observe the Sabbath and wouldn't rake them out untjl Sarurday after sundown. Most of the members lived within waJkjng distance of the synagogue. To obey rhe Sabbath correcrly you were nor allowed ro operare a business, spend money, smoke, strike a march, work, or cook. Many other activities were also forbidden. Remember this was abour 100 years ago. You weren't supposed to rear paper. Now if you had a bathroom wirh paper on a roll, you ron: the paper off for Friday in case ir may be needed for the Sabbath. The same rule applies ro outhouses with old Sears Roebuck catalogues. As far as I know none of these rules are observed today. ii > Fannyr on thr porrh ofthr �class that there were no broken pipes and suggested that we leave the building- which we did - not to return until warm weather. For your information, there was no water leaking. While my sisters, Rosa and Hilda, and I were still children and our parents were out of town for health reasons, Doctor Schancl1er's futher, Dave Schancl1er, would invite us over co his house for meals, especially on Passover and other religious holy days. About this time when our house at 213 Broadway was being built, I was sliding down a sloping board and got a big splinter in my rear end. My father couldn't gee it out so he cook me to Dr. Mann, the denrist, and he got it out gue was Harry and Fanny< Finlulsttin with childrm uo, ; o :::uilding of . 0 completed Rouz, and Hilda the eve of Ro honah a fire complecely destroyed the building. Mrs. Rosenfeld had a . / .:::.1ewish".!5i)ardiiig ousc nc:xt door and she cried and complained that she had just cleaned ~ / her house for Yon tiff and smoke had dirtied the place up. The Masonic Temple was offered to us to usc for the High Holy Day Services and we accepted. in(ian~:tfore '? After the fire that destroyed Bikur Cholim Synagogue on South Liberty Street, the second floor of Soncl1ey Building on Broadway was rented for the usc of the congregation. A member of the congregation, a young man, forgot he had made a date with a waitress in the Langrcn Hotel, and attended the meeting of the congregation. The lady waited in front of the Masonic Temple with a gun and took a shor at h~er e meeting when he was leaving the building. She missed. After going to Heb - oo in the building we would ihe building. stop and examine the hole the bullet made in the front me 7 The Cemetery In those days Asheville was a place that offered a cure for ruberculosis. Many sanatoriums were located in the hills around town. A Jewish man died in one of the sanatoriums and had no money or family. No cemetery in town would bury him unless someone paid $100 for the gravt::a. then that nine Jewish men formed ~heville Hebrew Cemetery Associa onjnc. My futher was the first president. e bylaws rated. that anyone ofJewish fai e buried there. T he price of a grave was 0 and if there was no one to pay it there would be no charge. ,S,~m te changed its name some years later to Mt. Sinai Cerneteqt-an after' toA'fle Ld Pollock Memorial Park. After Father died, Lou Pollock became presiden ih, I was the vice-president and assumed the duties of the president. I conferred with David Acl1cr and set up a meeting berween the directors of the cemetery and members of Beth Israel. The ownership of the cemetery was transferred to Beth Israel. < The following names of the nine founders can be seen on a plaque at the entrance to the cemetery bearing the date 1916: Sam Feinstein, Isaac Michalove, Lou Pollock, S.W. Silverman, Sender Argenrar, Rabbi Elias Fox, Dave Schancller, Barney Pearlman, Harry Finkelstein. Benevolent Societies Around this time my futher felt that some homemade chicken soup would help the Jewish patients in the sanatoriums. A number of Jewish women set up a kitchen and, once a week, hot chicken soup was made available to the Jewish patients and to others who requested it. Rabbi Fox acquired business interests in Asheville and served as part-time Rabbi. He was associated with a local butcher who made kosher meat available. He would go by the homes of members and kill the chickens. In 1917, some of us young Jewish boys decided that we ought to have a Young Men's Hebrew Association or a community center in Asheville. Rabbi Fox met with us and suggested that we form a YMHA. He said a community center was for the community only, but a bigger and better organization would be a YMHA because it extended from coast to coast. He told us a story about when he first came to this country and wanted to see the Brooklyn Bridge. He found a man who could talk Yiddish and after looking at the bridge he asked why they built the bridge with a lot of little cables instead of one big cable. The < �man explained to him that if one or rwo cables broke it would not harm the bridge, but if there was one big cable and it broke the bridge would fall in. Rabbi Fox said that therefo re we boys should be little cables and hold up the YMHA we were going to form. Flanders 20 About 75 years ago the Studebaker Corporation made rwo automobiles - the Flanders 20, 20 horsepower and the Emf. 30, 30 horsepower. My family owned a Flanders 20. To start the engine you used a hand crank in front of the auto. You lowered the spark control lever because if you didn't, you might get a kickback on the crank and get your arm broken. Mr. Sternberg and Mr. Leavitt Seventy-five years ago there was no United Way in Asheville. There were many local charitable organizations sponsored by churches, synagogues, houses of worship, also the YMCA, the Salvation Army, the Elks Lodge and the Jewish Ladies')Aid Society. Joe Sternberg's father was active in civic, religious, and fraternal organizations in Asheville. At that rime he was collecring donations for the Ladics...,Aid Society of Asheville. He went to Mr. Leavitt who operated a ladie.?read)loto,.wear store on South Main Street near Pack Square. He wouldn't donate more than $5 and this didn't please Mr. Sternberg. 7 > If you had a Aat tire, you had to raise the wheel with a hand jack, take the rire off and ftx the inner rube with patches t.hat you always carried with you. Y had a hand pump to ou inAate the tire again. 7 see Some owners of the Flanders 20 bragged that sometimes they could drive up the hill on South Main Street (now Biltmore Avenue) from Depot Street to Pack Square in high gear and they didn't have to shift to a second gear. Mr. Sternberg was the owner of the building in which Mr. Leavitt operated his store. He found Mr. Leavitt violated the terms of his lease because he sublet a portion of the store for a shoe deparunent. Mr. Sternberg told Mr. Leavitt that he would have to give the Ladi~Aid Society a suitable donation or vacate the building because he had violated the rercns of the lease. They sdecred three men to determine what amount Mr. Leavitt should ) give the Ladies'Aid Society. It was agreed that the amount they decided would be satisfactory to Mr. Sternberg and Mr. Leavitt. There was a dirt road to Hendersonville. Some of it was red clay that would become slick when it rained. One small section of the road became very slick due to its location. There was a man there with a mule. For a small fee he would hitch the mule to the front of the auto and pull you out of the bad place with the help of the engine of the car. f Mr. Sternberg selected a man to represent himself. Also, Mr. Leavitt picked o ut the second man. They needed a man to represent both of them and finally sclfcted my father. 7The committee decided that Mr. Leavitt should donate $500 to the Ladies Aid Society. 7 In 1936, the movement to found a Jewish Community Center and to organize Federated Jewish Charities in Ash.eville was started by Julius Levitch through .~:~f· In 1947 a testimonial dinner was held for his outstanding service to the Jewi~nity. < Jl{y Father and the Sheriff's Department In the early days of the century, my father would give each member of the Buncombe County Sheriff's Deparunenr cu1f links for a Christmas present. In appreciation, the Sheriff always sent my father a gallon of corn whiskey. We always than.la:d the Sheriff for his gift even though none of my family drank cotn whiskey. uo andfrimds with Flantkn 20 13 �We were invited to a wedding in Hendersonville by Mr. Lewis whose sister, Rose, was gening married to a young anorney named Joe Patla. He practiced law in Asheville fo r many years. We took our Flanders 20 to the wedding with a couple of our friends. We had no trouble as it didn't rain. Coming back to AsheviUc, we got a flat tire ncar Skyland and stopped to fix it. We noticed a lot of berries growing near the road and we all began to ear them. A F.umer saw us and accused us of stealing his berries. He took our a warrant for my father. The trial was to be heard by a Justice of the Peace in Skyland. My father employed a young lawyer by the name of Bob Reynolds. Bob Reynolds in later years became a U.S. Senator. The Justice of the Peace office was too small to hold the crowd that came to the trial so it was held under a large oak tree outdoors. I heard that Bob gave a great speech to the crowd and the Justice of the Peace o rdered my father just to pay the farmer a small amount for the berries. The moral of this event is: Don't ear wild berries beside an old road. You arc liable to have more troubles than a stomachache. -;. Beginning to work I .o;;::. When I was eight years old, I starred selling newspapers. I wasn't doing very good so my father gave me a job in the pawnshop at 50 cents per week. I had to save 25 centS of it. I was co work when there was no school activity or important events pertaining to my education. I was given Saturday afternoon off co go fishing and Saturday morning to sec a serial movie at the Galaxy movie house on Pack Square. Many people left their musical instruments as collateral for loans. I tried out my musical ability on a guitar, a ukulele, a violin and a saxophone. I took violin lessons from Mr. Popala.rdo and piano lessons &om Mrs. Oliphant. My mother insisted that I practice on the piano one hour a day. School In 1911, I st.trted school at Montford Avenue Grammar School. In 1922, I went to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for rwo days, and had co come home co run the pawnshop. Finlu!Jttini Pawnshop. Harry Finlu!Jttin on tht right rhe~922 In graduating class in Asheville High School, there were five boys< and 14 girls. Therefore, each boy was expected to rake three girls co the Senior Class Dance of February 1922. Things were bener when we had a dance for the entire school. There were three Jewish girls in the total 1922 class - Madeline Blo mberg, Eva Sternberg, and Esther Seigle. I was the only student to rake an automobile to school in 1922. It was a Paige make with a "bathtub back" model. I t incss man er of Tht: Hillbilly, the school monthly magazine. I was given any study hall perio o .ro1fecc for ads that appeared in the magazine, so I would take my auto and a girl to he p me from the study hall. Alter colleering for one ad we would ride over to the Charlotte Street Drug Score and participate in ice cream sodas for the balance of the study hall period. <.... �Asheville Dixie jazz Band In 1921, I, along with a violin player from Lewis Funeral Home, Frank McCormak, formed the fir.a musical outfit Asheville High School ever had.

Now, Joe's mother, Mrs. Sternberg, phoned me and advised me that she was entertaining Joe and three other members of the 1922 class with a trip to the top of Mr. Pisgah. Eva Sternberg, Joe's sister, graduated in 1921 bur wanted to go with them. Her mother asked if! would like to go and look alter Eva if she went, and I told her that I would be delighted. They all picked m~ up the na~ morning and Mrs. Ster~be~ove us the ho me of 'to Mr. and Mrs. Rufus 0 Kelly who lived at the base of Mr. Prs~ Oen~n passenger Mormon automobileJWe had lunch of possum and sweet potatoes. There was one dirt road (one way) to the top of Mt. Pisgah, five miles long. An auto had to go up in the morning at daylight and was allowed to come down after I p.m. until dark. We hiked to a cleared section. Mr. O'Kelly chaperoned the trip and built us a large bonfire and was fiXing something to eat. Eva was unpacking some things and I noticed a large bottle of Bromo-Selczer. I asked if she expected someone to have a headache. She said, "No, I opened a pint bottle of father's bottled whiskey, took half of it and filled the Bromo-Selt:zer bottle. Now you and I can have a drink before we eat. "' "That's a good idea." I said, "but what is your father going to say when he finds out?" She said, "No problem. I filled the empty half of the whiskey bottle with water. " At nighttime she and I sat around the fire drinking a few drinks of BrumoSelczer. On Sundays in 1925, the Jewish crowd of teenagers and somewhat older boys and girls would gather at the home of the Srernbergs on Victoria Road. The FrimdJ at plAy (1-r Milton Schwamlmg, Harry Stern bergs had four children: Eva, Joe, Roth, William RoJmftld. Sam Roth) Johanna, and Rose. One of the older girls in the crowd was named Jennie Selt:z. One day I asked her how she man~e..so popular among the boys, and her answer was, "Well, I'm not so pretty, but Vm catehie." I dated Eva and one night I called at the house to take her out and 11~-.....,~.p--~­ us from the second floor of the house, "Don't you go to no road houses!" Eva replied, "What's the matter, Papa - you aftaid we are going to find you there?" William Jennings Bryan On July 7, 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered the "Cross of Gold" speech and �won the Democratic parry nomination for Vice President of the United States. In 1900 he was nominated again for Vice President. In 1908 he was nominated for President of the United Stares. Later in life he moved to Asheville and his home was at the corner of Evelyn Place and Kimberly Avenue - just a few houses away from where Jack Cole now lives. Mr. Bryan asked my father to order him a special made double barrel Parker shot gun with 28" barrels modified and choke bores, and a 2 3/4 inch drop. After receiving the ~ n he wrote my father a letter of thanks. I had this letter in my historical files and it disappeared. Now I don't know whether to blame it on the Democrats or Republicans. The Emporium Fire of 1923 ......., On July 25, 1923, the Emporium ,es>arunen;Jtore owned by Jack Blomberg at the / corner of Pack Square and South Main'"Street was<femoyed by a major fire. It was feared that the entire block to South Main Street (Biltmore Avenue) would be destroyed. Many of the merchants who operated clothing stores in the block brought their insurance policies and books to Finkelstein's Pawnshop across the street and requested that we put them in our safes which were two of the largest moveable safes in town. T he two safes are now located at 2 1 Broadway. &wing Machine Mystery A sewing machine was brought in for a loan. The next day some ladies from a church walked in from a church society, identified the machine and claimed it had been stolen from the church. The pawn ticket was hunted. "What's the name on the record?" one of the women inquired. It was read off. "What!" shrieked the group in unison. "That's the name of our pastor!" And, the mystery was cleared up: someone else had pawned the machine giving the reverend's name. �Hl AsheviHe the 1930s . Ill (ions Club "iremember when I became a member of the The club had 16 members and I was the 17th. Our meetings were held at the S & W Cafeteria on Panon Avenue, in a meeting room on the second floor. A good meal could be had at a cost ofless than one dollar. As{~Ue Lions Club in 1930. I remember when the club's membership reached I 00, we held a stag parry at the Sky Club on top of Beaucatcher Mountain. Out of 100 members we had 97 anend. Three were absent on account of being out of town. The club was operated by Boyd and Albertine Maxwell and their daughter was the hostess. Albertine was a professional dancer and she did a "snake dance" to entertain the parry. Lion Dan Furr fiXed us a special drink consisting of an assortment of fluids that we called "Scrape the Bonom." We had a big spagheni dinner. The cost of the evening was $1.50 per member. The young lady who was hostess, in appreciation of me bringing the Lions Club there for a parry, taught me to dance the "Charleston," a new dance that had just started. I remember when I drove my new automobile to the Stag P~ty with Lion John Thayer. The automo- <:::_ bile was a Terraplane Sedan that Lion Johnnie Groome sold me. It had an electric gear shift controlled by bunons on the steering wheel. It also had a stick shift in from of the center of the from seat that could be used when the electric shift failed to work. �Going down Bcaucatcher Mountain in the Terraplane, Lion John Thayer, who had drank a substantial amount of "Scrape the Bottom," acted funny, yanked the gear shift stick loose and threw it out of the car into the woods of Bcaucatcher Mountain. The next day Lion John and I searched the woods, found the stick shift and replaced it. I remember when the dub held a "womanless wedding" at a Ladies Night Banquet on March 14, 1939 and Lion Dan Furr was the flower girl. I remember when in 1939 the club presented a pair of lions to the city wo and a few weeks later a baby lion was born. It was named "Leo." I remember when an alarm clock was placed at the speaker's table at the club meetings set to alarm at 2 o'clock with a sign: OUR MEETING CLOSES AT 2 O'CLOCK AND WE DO NOT APPRECIATE DIRTY JOKES. I remember when Jack Cole was president of the Asheville Lions Club. We held a ) ladicJnight banquet at the Battery Park Hotel. Lion Jack invited a U.S. Congressman, Lion Roy Taylor, to make a talk for the gathering. It took Lion Jack twenty minutes to introduce Congressman Taylor. Roy Taylor in response said that there must be a mistake. "It looks like Lion Jack Cole was to give the address and I should have introduced him. " I remember when City Manager Burdette announced to the C ity Council that the police department's new traffic bureau would begin operating and that ordinances would be strictly enforced. Mr. Burdette left no doubt in the minds of a Lions Club committee who called to complain about the parking problem. and if he wanted a tunic race, to present it to the board of directors at their regular meeting. There was no runic race. := ::: <__ I remember when I was dating a nice young lady in Asheville by the name of Pearl. Pearl was hostess in a restaurant I used to eat at. The Lions Club was giving a Ladies) Night ~inner and Governor Hoey was to be our speaker. I was told that I couldn't bring Pearl. C Governor Hoey's daughter was coming to the dinner and I'd have to sit with her at the speaker's table. It was an uneventful monotonous dinner and when it was over I told the governor's daughter good night and went to see Pearl. I remember when a member missed over two meetings Lion Charles Bertyman, who operated a funeral home, would send his ambulance to bring the member to the meeting.

I remember when in 1938 at a Lions Club golf tournament, I promised to give a prize for the winner of the first flight. I wrote a check for $1,000 and since I won the first flight, I presented the check to myself. I remember when Lion Roy Phillips, advertising director of the Al}uvi/1~ Citiun- Tim~s talked to me as President of the Lions Club and wanted the club to sponsor a tunic race ~d buy a page ad in the newspaper. I told him to present it to the board ofiirectors, that I would not t2ke the responsibility of investing in a turtle race.

I remember when I had a phone call from my golf caddie named "Cris" on a Saturday, and he advised me that Lion Judge Cathey had given him 30 days in jail for fighting. He, ,_./ wouldn't be able to caddie for me Sunday. That was a disaster for without Cris I just coui_Y-. ~ play a good game of golf. I called Lion Judge Cathey and advised him of the siruation "'and he told me he would reduce Cris's sentence from 30 days to one day and for me to go down to the jail and get him. < �More than 300 persons representing every civic organization in the ciry attended the banquet at the Battery Park Hotel. I got~. Sholn of Florida to make the principru< address. ~V.£"/RAIO/C.._ I remember when Lion Judge Cathey was namea the National Handicapped Man of the Year and several of us Lions went to Washington with him to receive the award from President Eisenhower. 7 I remember when l was invited to Lioness Hudson's house for Thanksgiving dinner. She called me the day before and said that Lion Judge Cathey had put her cook in jail and she had no one to cook the dinner. I called Lion Judge Cathey again and told him about it. He arranged for Lion Hudson's cook ~ksgiving dinner. Prohibition's I remember when mimic political campaign speeches by members of the Lions Club were featured at the S & W Cafeteria during their meeting. In the comic program, four members representing four political parties made "pleas" for support of their candidates for president. Lion Schorr urged the club to vote for Herbert Hoover, Lion Roy Phillips upheld Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lion Nat Friedman asked that William D. Upshaw be given the club's support and l talked at length on Norman Thomas, the socialist candidate. I remember when Lion Dan SteWart, Lion Charlie Miller and I went to Havana, Cuba for an International Convention. We drove to Miami and took the boat to Havana. After the convention, trying to get back to Miami, we found it was going to be three days before we could get passage on the boat. I didn't want to wait three days in Havana so I phoned my girl friend Reggie who was secretary to the Mayor of Miami Beach. She told me she would take care of the situation and for me to go down to the boat office and they would give me passage on the next boat to Miami. She told the boat office they needed me as a wimess in a court case, so I spent the night in a big chair in the lounge of the boa~ ?~ing to Miam~ Reggie and I met Lion Stewart and Lion Miller in a couple of days an~k them fishing. I remember when on July I 0, 1940 the Lions Club held a meeting which was described by Lion C.E. Hudson as "in truth the most gratifying gathering of all times in Asheville, of its kind.• It was described by the Ashwilk Citizm as the largest and most represenrative civic organization gathering in Asheville in recent years. It was an inter-club banquet and fim annual award of the Asheville Lions Club to the most useful civic club member in the ciry of Asheville, 1939-1940. Tbc idea of this banquet was presented to the Civic Club Union by Lion Jim Divelbiss IDIIIIIJICI£ They assisted the Lions Oub and picked Robert Lee Ellis of the Coca-Cola BOaJias Campaay 11 Asheville's most useful civic club member in the 1939-40 year. He ftCiiWd • tiluale plaque from the Lions Club which he said he would cherish as long as he lnecL ~ning Days It was in 1933, afrer Franklin Roosevelt was elected President of the United States, that the Volstead Act was repealed and it became legal to sell beer with an alcoholic content on October I st. I was exalted ruler of the Elks Club and it became my dury to get beer to serve to the members. This was a difficult job as none was available from distributors around Asheville. Nineteen thirty-three was the year of the Great Depression and Rabbi Goodkowin bought a second hand truck from Harry Blomberg and did some hauling on the side to supplement his income from Bikur Cholim. Rabbi Goodkowin said he would go to Baltimore and get us a load of beer as he personally knew the owner of the Valley Forge Beer Company there. I gave him six hundred dollars of the club's money and he left on a Monday to be back on Thursday. He didn't show up, but came in the following Monday. The delay was due to the truck breaking down on the trip. Of course I was somewhat concerned, but the club had a truck load of Valley Forge~eer available. ~ <( Leo Cadison saw me and advised that he had talked to United Scates Senator Robert R. Reynolds, and the members were starting a campaign to sell the beer before October !st. Captain Fred Jones of the Asheville Police Department and a member of the house committee said he would not recommend selling it before the legal date. At the club that week, I noted about 150 members were present instead of the usual 40. Under "good and welfare" Senator Reynolds, a great orator, spoke in favor of selling the beer and said that we were all brothers in a non-profit and charitable organization, and it would be legal to sell it. Others who spoke in favor of selling the beer were Judge Philip Cocke, State Senator; A. Hall Johnson, Superior Court Judge; Dan Hill, Postmaster; Marcus Erwin, U.S. Attorney; Zeb Nettles, Superior Court Judge; Charles McRae, local attorney; and Leo Cadison. Leo Cadison made a motion that we advise the house manager to put the beer on ice so that we could drink it afrer the meeting. I advised Mr. Cadison that I could not accept a motion of an illegal nature but under Robert's Rules of Parliamentary Procedure he could appeal my decision. He appealed and I advised that the question to be voted on would be "Shall the decision of the Chair srand," and there would be no discussion. The vote was unanimous against my decision (which suited me), and I instructed the secretary to take everything out of the minutes pertaining to beer, also to E �advise the house manager to put the beer on ice so we could have it aficr the meeting. He said that it was too late to advise him because the beer had been on icc for the past rwo hours. How to Finance a Pawnshop in a Depression '7 7 7 193~ It was the Depression of the Our loans averaged $1 0 and we made them as low as 50 cents. The demand was great on loans on diam~d jewelry. The top loan on a 1/2 karat diamond was $50 and $200 on a good grad~ I was running out of money. I saw Perry at the Morris Plan Bank and we agreed to rent a lock box at the Wachovia Bank. Both of us would have a key to it. I would hypothecate the large size diamond and jewelry loans. The way that worked is I would make the loan, get the cash &om Perry on a 90 day note, and put the jewelry in the lock box as security. If the customer came to redeem his jewelry I advised him ¥~lry was at the vault at the Wachovia for safekeeping and I would get it for h.im. ~ This was working very well as the bank was making the legal rate of 6% on 90 day notes which were paid in 30 to 40 days with no refUnd for unearned interest. I was doing OK also. I charged interest at legal rates plus other expenses incident to the negotiations of the transactions. But a miracle happened. A girlfriend of mine in the 1922 cl School married a man from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who later com came back to Asheville to live. She saw me and wanted to know if I could help her out. She said she was left a sizeable amount of life insurance and did I know of a safe place where she could invest some of it and get a decent return. I helped her out. Streetwalking A young lady friend of my family would pawn a diamond pin for $50. She was always months past due on the redemption of it. I felt sorry for her and I didn't let her pay any interest or charges on any loan afier her first loan. After pawning it several times, she came in for a loan on the pin. She asked for one hundred dollars. I told her that a hundred dollars was more than we could loan on it, that I would loan her $50 again. She said that she needed a hundred dollars and that I was trying to make a "street walker" out of her! The Preacher and the Bible I helped a preacher financially conduct his Sunday's services. Back in e...!l!:prcssion days of the 1930s there was a preacher who pawned his Bible every Mond mor er Sunday's services and redeemed it on the following Friday or Saturday for the next service on Sunday. I made the original loan of $10 and advised the preacher that he could get it out at a charge of $1 anytime in 30 days or if needed, he could wait three months at no additional charge. Then a banker comes to town. He took over the Morris Plan Bank and organized the Bank of Asheville. Perry, the new cashier at the Bank of Asheville, came to sec me and said, •Mr. Wolcott advised that the bank wun't a pawnshop and to tell F"mkdstcin to pay off those 90 day aoca. • It looked like I was going ro haft co atOp making large jewdry .,._ and try to meet the 90 day note. In checking the records I found that he had pawned the Bible weekly on many occasions. On the next Friday morning when he came afier his Bible I told him he didn't owe anything on it, that he had paid more carrying charges than the original loan. I told him to put that $10 bill he had next to the Ten Commandments in the Bible and the next rime he needed $10 to take it our and put it back in the Bible afier Sunday's service. Just don't bring the Bible back here for a loan. He didn't. LM Finlttlsuin in his paunuhop �Overcoats 7 During q{e ~~on of 1933 the pawnshop had 800 overcoats left at the beginning of the summer. ~e-loans were from $3 to $7 each, and 80% of the loans were past due. There was a problem of moths. We pur mothballs in the pockets of all overcoats and sprayed them with DDT. I asked him if it was life insurance. He said, "No." lc was liability insurance and if I did anything wrong as a deputy sheriff that they would fUrnish me legal assistance in court. I was sworn in November I 5, 1934. After rhe overcoats became more than three months pasr due we: had them dry cleaned. We: made: a contract with the cleaners to pick up and return lots of twenty at SO cents each. The owner of the cleaning company came in the shop and said that he wamed to buy an overcoat for his chauffeur. He tried on one and liked it so much that he said he would keep it for himself and give his ro his chauffeur. Murders in Pawnshops and Helping SheriffL. Brown You have probably read in the Citiun-Timls about Mark Lane who was killed in a shooting during an armed robbery. His futher, Ronald Lane, and he were co-owners of che Leicester Pawn Shop. Earlier, I wrote of Reggie, secretary ro the Mayor of Miami Beach, who helped our delegation get fusrer transportation back co Florida from rhe lmernacional Lions Convention in Havana, Cuba. Lion C.A. Miller was on char trip. Lacer Reggie's brother was killed in a holdup in his pawnshop on Flager Screer in Miami. A lor of people classify a pawnbroker as a shylock. Those pawnbrokers I have known are kind people and are an asset to any community they operate in. In November 1934 Sheriff Lawrence Brown of Buncombe County came to see me and said thar he needed help. Beacon M ring-Eompany4t Swannanoa was having labor -;, rrouble and a group from South Car linal_was coming up c~tcvem che employees from going ro work. He wanted ro rene 12 u tglfns to be used by special deputies ro guard the entrance ro rhe plane. 7 Harringro~chardson I rented him twenty 12 gauge shotguns for $1 each. He was successful in guarding the plane and they never fired a shoe. The sheriff phoned me and said char be wanted ro bestow upon me rhe honor of being a deputy sheriff and co come over and bring a photo for an identification card. I cold him I didn't know anything about enforcing rhe law. He said char was okay, ro come over and he would swear me in and cake out insurance on me. uo Finktlsuin, Dq>uty Shmff X~ I goc a phone call che next morning from Mr. Seely, Manager of the Grove Park Inn. ~ He said that he needed a gun for his watchman, a .38 Smith and Wesson SpeciaJ/1 with a 4~ barrel. Sheriff Brown cold him I co~d what he wan red. I cold him I had ic in stock su ply and he asked me to bringrgz· c o c to nn. goc in my dilapidated Ford touring car, drove to the from entrance of th ,k_ an to go in, when the bell captain stopped me. < ( <.. He asked, "What arc y oing here?" I replied, "I have a gun for your watchman and Mr. Seely asked me to bring ic our co him." "Well," he said, "you rake that gun to the back door. They have a barrel of money back ~~· there and they will pay you for ic." ~ression the~ced This was during che of Mr. Seely top price, and was going co do almost anything co complete the sale, so I went to the back door. ~ Now I am happy co announce that at the present time I am allowed co go in the fronL_ entrance to the Inn. ~ ( \ ' '<. �Guns and a Grandfather Clock A friend of mine had a valuable an rique clock abour six fcer tall. He said that he was leaving home for a month and there was a lot of larceny going on. He wanted to leave it with me for safekeeping. I told him to put it in the storage area on the second floor of the shop. A couple of days later a customer comes in and wants to buy a shotgun. It was summer rime and since hunting season didn't open until fall I wondered why he wanted a shotgun. My salesman said all the shotguns and shells were stored on the second floor and he wo uld take the customer up there. A little later I heard a big loud bang from the second floor. The salesman came running down and said that the customer had commirted suicide with a shotgun. I called the Police Deparrment and Dr. Baer, the coroner. Will Hampton, solicitor of police court and the chief carne over. I went to the second floor with them and we found the customer passed out on the floor. I didn't see any blood and upon examination we found part of his clothing blown away under one arm and he wasn't injured. It's almost impossible to reach the trigger of a 32" barrel shotgun when you have the muzzle at your chest. Evidently the customer must have tried to reach the trigger and the muzzle slipped under his arm when the gun fired. I remembered the grandfather clock and found that the discharge from the gun blew some of the plaster out of the wall about a foot from the dock. T he dock was okay. Dr. Baer asked for a pin. He said that he wanted to find out if the man really passed out. He jabbed him several rimes with a pin and the man didn't move. He really passed out. The chief said that the man had violated a law and he would take charge of him. The lesson from this event is: Don't try to commit suicide- if you do, you are liablr to get arrested. .A Secwtarys Thoughts My name was Ma~t Owen in 1936, when I was Leo Finkelstein's secretary. It was the first job I ever had and he really taught me how to be office help. It was an exciting time to work on Pack Square, which was the hub of Asheville's business world at that time. I remember that Mt. Finkdstein would lend me out to do typing for some of the Jewish organizations he was participating with at that time. I worked for Lou Pollock when he was head of the Jewish Cemetery, and Mr. Gustav Lichtenfels and Siegfried Sternberg when they were working on getting Jewish people out of Germany. I wrote some of the letters which were instrumental in bringing some of the early German Jews to Asheville, who then went on to become very valuable citizens of Asheville. I know of Herbert Schifran and his fam ily, and Alfred and lrmgard Lichtenfels. There were probably others that Mr. Finkelstein was responsible for that he remembers, but I have forgotten. I was in the store when the internees of Germany and Japan who were billeted at Grove Park Inn came in, and Tom Wolfe carne in to visit his friend, Bob Bunn. I was standing out front one day when General George Marshall walked by on his way to the City Hall which was the Air Force Headquarters at that time during World War II. We all were out front one day when President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Asheville to dedicate the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Mr. Finkelstein was more than a friend to many of the ethnic community of char rime. I believe char he was the contact for visiting rabbis, Jewish transient people who needed help and communicated with them in Hebrew. All the employees learned to understand and communicate (somewhat) by talking to each other in Yiddish. Mr. Finkelstein played ar least ten or rwelve instruments, demonstrating in order to make a sale o r loan. The Silver Shirts In the 193{)!;>William Dudley Pelly operated the "Silver Shirts," a Nazi-like organiz.a- <!_ rion in a building across the street from the Jewish Community Center on Charlotte Street. He published the Libaation ~tkry,'tanti-Semitic literature with a circulation of eight thou- ~ sand. 0->n.--ln a parade, I was playing the saxophone with th~ Shrine Club Marching · le Band, and William Rosenfelt was carrying the Ameri n""i=Jag. Pelly in his Libaation Wftkry published a story that we were disgraced by a Jew with , · nose carrying the American flag. Pelly was arrested by the Buncombe County Sheriff's Department in 194 1 for selling unregistered stock. He was found guilty through the efforts ofJulius Levitch, a young Jewish lawyer by the name of Alvin Kurrus, and a local attorney named R.R. Williams. < �The Stolen ~tch William Rothenberg was a parient at the V.A. Hospital in Oteen. He moved to Asheville to live, married Freda Gross. I gave him a job as salesman in the pawnshop. He would go back to Oteen for treatments but was asked to stop. He got to drinking and was separated from his wife. A railroad watch from our display board was missing. A taxi driver told me that William Rotheuberg sent the watch to the other pawnshop in town by him, and he pawned it there for $20. I checked the serial numbers on the watch and they were the same as the ones on our watch. I asked Rothenberg about it and he said that he won it in a poker game the night before at the Langren Hotel. I checked with Fred Bradley, the night manager of the hotel and he advised me that there was no poker game in the hotel that night. Rothenberg got to drinking and Judge Cathey put him in jail with a sentence of 30 days. Judge Cathey released him from jail after I promised to send him to Miami, Florida where his ex-wife was living. I bought him a bus ticket and told him nor to return to Asheville. He clid not return. rv. I Am A Dime was born in the early pan of the twentieth century at the United States Mint in Philadelphia, put in a roll with forry-nine other climes and srupped to the Southern State Bank, of which Mr. S. Sternberg was president, on Depot Sueer in Asheville, North Carolina. M r. Sternberg had a son, Joseph, who later became president of the Asheville Lions Club. Mr. Sternberg rook me and the forry-nine other climes to his beautiful estate on Victoria Road in order to panicipare in a ten cent limit poker game with some of his friends. Someone tipped off the police that a game was goiug on. The home was raided and Mr. Sternberg gave the names of the players as Mr. Aleph, Mr. Baze, M r. Gimmel, Mr. Dolad, Mr. Hay, Mr. Vove, Mr. Zion and Mr. Hess. The Ashroilk Citiun carried a story after the trial that an attorney appeared in Police Court for Mr. Aleph, Mr. Baze, Mr. Gimmel, Mr. Dolad, Mr. Hay, Mr. Vove, Mr. Zion and Mr. Hess and paid their fines. Very few people knew that Aleph, Baze, Gimmel, Dolad, Hay, Vove, · , ess are the first eight letters of < the Hebr ~abet. I got sep te from the other dimes that came to Asheville with me. I found myself in the pocket of Chief Bernard of the AsheviUc Police Depanmenr. It was in Novemb61i'9P6, that the Chief phoned Uncle~ Harry, the pa~er, and said that he needed firearms and ammunition ro equip a posse of fifty men in order to hunt Will Harris, a desperado. Will Harris had shot and killed five men, two of whom were ciry policemen. Uncle Harry furnished the �posse with guns and ammunition, taking only the names of those receiving firearms. It was reported that Will Harris spent the night in a barn in Buena Vista. The posse surrounded him in a field near Fletcher and~him. His body was brought to an undertaking estab? ishmem at 21 South Main Srr e~ hung our of the second story window in the building in order to show the people t he had been killed and quieten them down. The next day, the Chief called Uncle Harry and asked if all the firearms had been returned. Uncle Harry said they had and commented that the people of Asheville were honest and good citizens. {Bob Ton//, wriur for rh~ Citizen-limes, ta/lud about this romt at on~ ofour mutings of Club.) th~ Lions (In 1968 th~ Bur~au ofAlcohol Tobacco and Fir~arms in Washington ~quir~d a ~cord of nl"J pistol rifo, rroolv~r that w~ ~aiv~d and dispos~d of, as ~11 as th~ mod~/. calib~r, urial numbu and manufoctur~r.

The Chief took me to Mr. Pa~e on South Main Street, bought his lunch which consisted of a ten cenr bowl of soup, a good supply of free crackers and catsup. OLM>Pff$'? 1P 1 Pa~rother Mr. operated the "Candy Kitchen" on Haywood Street. They were making a l<~t.gfs;ick candy in the shape of wa.lking sticks, colored red and white. The cafe owner bought a half dozen walking sticks from his brother, using me as part payment. He said that he was going to put the candy on his C hristmas tree. p.~fu,ed The next day Mr. on North Main Street, was coming to town in a rain storm. North Mai~;.:: ~t all side streets were not. They had stepping stones in order to get across. Mr. P~p?~ on a stepping stone, getting his shoes all muddy. He stopped at the Pack Square Shoe Shine Parlor, got a shoe shine for five cents and gave the shine boy a five cent rip. The nc:xt thing I knew I was placed in a deposit for the Wachovia Bank and I stayed in their vault until the year 1913. Uncle Harry picked me up rouse in his petty cash. His son asla:d for his weekly allowance and I was given to him with four other dimes. The son boarded a South Main Street streetcar on Pack Square with a fishing pole and a can of womu. He got off at the Swannanoa River and waiked a hundred yards toward the French Broad. In a couple of hours, he caught a nice suing of hog suckers, homey heads and perch out of the beautiful clear waters of the Swannanoa River. On his way home, he gave me to the conductor, received five cents change and a transfer to the North Main streetcar inor~e~ome. Z e-CondJ cror carried me around a few days and then gave me to a lady on the Rive · pen air" streetcar that ran to Riverside Park. Riverside Park was owned and operated by th~eville Power and Light Company, the same people who owned the street car company at was mally gobbled up by Lion Smith's Carolina Powe~d Light Company. This ady gave me to her husband who went down to the EIWClub and lost ~ me in a rummy game to a distinguished looking attorney they called "Judge Cocke." After the card game, the judge sat around talking to brother Elks and drinking beer. He was <.... ~ F.unous for his knowledge of North Carolina, people and places. He even talked about ._.; 44 the house of ill repute in Asheville at the rum of the cenrury known as the "Eagle Terrace" run by a lady called "Queen Elizabeth." r The next morning, Attorney Cocke defended a man in Police Court who was charged with stealing a pair of shoes and pawning them because he couldn't wear them on account of being too small. The court ordered the man to leave town that day. The man said he was hungry and didn't have any money. So Attorney Cocke gave me with other change to him. The man went down to the Asheville and East Tennessee Railway Company station ar the comer of North Main and College Streets. They operated an electric vehicle between Asheville and Weaverville. The man smelled hot dogs cooking at D. Gross's Hot Dog Srand next door, so he spent me for a hot dog and a coca-cola. Mr. Gross raised and educated a F.unily of thirteen children from the money he earned at his hot d og stand. Mr. Gross carried me around unci.l Saturday night when he went to Liggett's Drug Store for some headache powders. He stopped in from of the drug store to listen to the Salvation Army band while they were having a preaching and musical session. He put me in a pot they were using to get donations for their annual Christmas party. The Salvation Army bought a second-hand truck from Lion Fred Brown to be used in delivering food and clothing to the poor people in town. I was used in this transaction. Lion Brown rook me to a Lions Club meeting, where he used me to pay the dime he was fined by the Tail Twister for falling asleep during the program. The Tail Twister's wife took possession of me and bought some ribbon a Royal, a large department store on South Main Street, operated by Mr. Mo cis Myers.!? )1/t'Jt:R.

That is what you might think, but I don't! There is not one Jewish transient in five hundred worthy of any help at all. They travel from place to place using the fact that they are Jc:ws to prey upon other Jews. Many of them are ex-ronvicts, some just ordinary bums, and all of them liars. In this army of rogues, you will not find one who has a friend or relative who they could obtain help from. I have offered to wire to any person for hundreds of them, but they will teU you that all their friends or relatives are broke, or that they wouldn't think of asking any of them for money. Common sense will tell you that, if a transient is wonhy, there must be someone in this world who will help him to some extent. I am sure if any of you gentlemen were to find yourself broke in some fur off place, that you would have at least one friend or relative to whom you could wire for help. These swindlers don't want to get help from friends or relatives. They are just traveling around, enjoying life in a peculiar way, and living on the Je · pu ·c, their so-called brothers. QL - y So, when these Je "sh Bro / them? The only sensible possible. rs of ours come to town, what are we supposed to do with ng we can do is to get rid of them as quickly and as cheaply as The most common type of transient is the ordinary bum who claims that he has a job in a nearby city. All he wants from you is a couple of meals in a good restaurant, a room with a bath in a dean hotel, transponation to the place he is going, and maybe a pair of shoes, a couple of shirts and an overcoat. In order to get rid of this man quickly you must start talking befOre he does. So when I spot one, I start talking first. I ask him if he wants some help, and as soon as he says "Yet I hand him a half-dollar, a meal ticket to a nearby rataurant, and teU him to get the heU our of town as rut as he can. Most of them will take this and leave because they know, through their grapevine system, that this is all they can get- This system even infunns them where to go to when you get to a town, and that is why nobody sees the majority of these people except mysel£ Some of them insist that they have a special story ro teU you about their hard luck, and that they are different from the rest. These stories would make some of you break down and weep, but to me these stories are just a bunch of fabricated lies. Then, we have the group of transients who are physically disabled. Some are partially blind and crippled. They will claim to have tuberculosis, nervous indigestion, high blood prasure or what-not. Some will claim to have a combination or complication of diseases, or an assortment of ailments. If I am convinced that the transient is really ill, then I buy 40 him transponation to the nearest point, and get him out of town as last as I can. These people are never given cash for their transponation. A check is written to the bus station for their ticket, and the bus station has instructions to issue a ticket stamped "No Refund." This method was adopted after I found out some cashed their tickets back in to get cash, and bummed rides out on the highway to get to where they were going. A decent looking, elderly lady once appealed to me for help. She stated that she was almost blind, and was traveling with her son who was so crippled he couldn't walk. She told me that she and her son had come in on a bus late the night before, and were at a small hotel near the bus station. She advised me that her son was ill in bed, that she was out of funds, could not ay her hotel bill, had nothing to eat, and no way to get to a nearby city where her ~?In to enter a hospital. "A worthy case, at last!" I thought. I took her name, apd asi~Jier t come back in an hour, and I would see what I could do for her. I inquired ahhe.ho e , and found that nobody by the name she gave me was there. I asked her about this when she returned, and she said that she did not use her real name since it was Jewish, and she didn't want people to think she was Jewish. I called the hotel sor, <..___ ~~~red~~~=~~~~~~~~~~~ the two of them were registered there, but that her son seemed healthy, and was in and out of the hotel all day long. Asking her about this, she explained that her son went out only when he had to go to the drug store for medicine. It was cold and raining outside, so I called the hotel, and told them I would pay their bill, gave her enough for food, bought her two bus tickets, and gave her instructions to get out of town by night without fail. It wasn't long before I received a phone call from a Jewish person in town stating that this old lady had called on him, and he proceeded to cuss me out for not giving her any help. To make a long story short- she called on three more persons in the city with the same story- that I would not help her. A couple of hours later I went by the hotel where she was staying and found that she had checked out and left in her room many pieces of clothing that had been given to her by these people she had called on in the city. Then we have the rabbis. They are a wonderful type of transient to deal with. They usually get to town on Friday, so you have to keep them over "shabbos." That means an expense of two nights' lodging and meals for a whole day. In fact, all the transients who arrive on Friday are "very religious" and won't travel on Friday night or Samrday. I've had many rabbis promise to send me back the money I gave them, and never yet has one of them sent back a penny. In filet, of the hundreds of promises that I've had from all kinds of transients to return money given them, never has one kept his promise. �The president of the onhodox congregation on~ phoned me, and told me that a rabbi was at his howe and that this rabbi was a very fine person, a scholar, and a gentleman, a man in need, and suggested that I give him $5. I was jwt ready to leave my howe, and I informed the president that I did not have time to interview the rabbi myself. bur that if he thought the man was wonhy, to give him $5, and I would return that amount to him larer. I happened to pass by the president's howe jwt as the rabbi was leaving there, and I rook a good look at him. The nt:Xt morning, the same rabbi was at my place ofbwiness, wanting co know if I cook care of the Jewish transients. He wasn't a rabbi anymore, and he had changed his name. I told him to come along with me, and I would rake him to the man who could help him. He got into the front seat of my automobile, and wanted to know where we were going, and when I told him we were going co see the president of the onhodox congregation, he jumped out and ran. I ran after him, and caught him on Patton Avenue. He starred yelling like I was going to murder him, and a crowd started to gather, so I let him go, and he ran away again. I haven't seen him since. Another rabbi on~ appealed co me for help. and he claimed to be a brother-in-law of the rabbi in Greenville, SC. Knowing the rabbi in Greenville personally, I didn't believe he would send a brother-in-law of his our of the state to chisel the public, so I phoned long d.isrance to inquire about the man. The rabbi in Greenville informed me that this transient had worried the community there a couple of days before, that he was no relation of his, bur claimed to be a brother-in-law of the rabbi in Columbia. This man's system was to claim relationship to a rabbi in a nearby cicy. in order co get help. I gave him fifty ~nrs and a meal ticket, and told him to get out of town before dark He didn't leave, instead he called on other Jews in the cicy with the same story, and collected around $5 by noon the next day. I finally contacted him and cold him again to get our of town, which he refused to do. So, I had the poli~ department pick him up and put him in jail. In about an hour, I went over, and talked to him in jail, and he changed his tunc quite a bit. He was ready co leave town, so we let him out and this time I gave him fifteen minutes to disappear- and he did! Another rabbi onc.e called on me and stated that he was a representative of a Jewish institution somewhere in Europe, and wanted a donation for it. I explained to him that we had a federated Jewish charities here to help him, and he would have to make his request through them. He kept insisting that I give him a donation personally, and I kept refusing him. He finally gave up, proceeded to ews me out in Yiddish, in a extremely loud voice and this wasn't all- he spit on the floor, slammed the door as hard as he could as he wenr out. I fdt like killing him, and I think it would have been jwcifiable homicide. I could cell you many tales of my experiences with these human vultures, but one I remember in panicular was the rime when a local judge phoned me and told me that he would have to try a young boy by the name of Goldberg for vagrancy. He asked me to recommend to him what to do with the boy. I wem over to see the defendant, and he happened co be one of the transients I had helped a few days before. He had ordered a sandwich at a small restaurant on the outskins of town, refused to pay for it, so the restaurant man had him arrested. I told the judge of my experiences with the Jewish t.ransients and asked him co make an example out of this boy, so he gave him thiny days on the road. In sentencing the boy, the judge told him that from now on every Jewish transient that was brought before him would get a road semen~. Then I really got criticized by the Jewish community for putting Jewish boys on the chain-gang. I was shown a copy of his criminal record from che FBI a few days Iacer. He had been convicted of all kinds of offenses from stealing a bicycle co highway robbery. After the boy got out, he came to see me again, and feeling sorry for him, I bought him a ticket to Charlotte, and informed him that I would sec that every transient from now on coming into Asheville would get a road semen~. Before that time, we had from ten to thiny transients per month appealing for help. It was interesting to note that we didn't have another transient come into Asheville for six weeks after the boy left, and for a long time after that appeals for help were half of what they had been before that. It is my sincere recommendation that every Jewish transient, coming into Asheville, be put in jail for a certain length of time. This is the only way co cure this evil. Of course, the Jewish community wouldn't stand for anything like that, they would rather give these damned hoodlums a few hundred dollars every year. Then, we have the transients coming through in family groups. These groups consist of a mother and father with one or more children. They wually arrive in a dilapidated old automobile. Most of the time, the automobile needs some repairs before they can leave town in it; it never has any gasoline and wually needs a couple of quatts of oil. These patties are expensive and hard to handle, becawe you can hardly send small children on their way without a night's sleep and proper food. Of course, I have some deserving cases, bur I don't class these with the transients. For instance, a man once came in to see me with the story that he had tuberculosis, and he had come down here from Detroit as his doctor had recommended this climate to him. He expected co gee a job as an elevator boy, or something of the sort, and he was under the impression that the climate here would cure him while he worked. Well, the man was broke and was waiting for some financial help from his brother whom he had written a few �days before. I gave the man $4 and he promised ro pay me back as soon as he heard from his brother. He came back the ncxr day. He had heard from his brother. He showed me the lcrrer and his brother enclosed $ 10 which was all that he could send. He told me that he was unable to find work, and was going to scan back for Detroit. He offered me the $4 I had given him. I asked him how he expected to get back to Detroit on $6, and he cold me that he would have co hitchhike. I told him to keep the $4, and wished him the best of luck. While I am nor a doctor, I was under the opinion from his looks that his health would never permit him to hitc€Juk'f_ ~~cf.~m ynd get there alive. ~~ch~ So for twenty years, I have bunch of beggars, coming from north, south, east, and west. They have become a part of my life, and if I could get out of this job right now, I am sure I would miss this horde of gangster.; that hop around from place co place like a bunch of grasshopper.; in a clover patch. Vli. War Years fiiot on 023 / "fin admission co the Air Force in 1943 I was ~ imetkwed as to what activity I had in a business or profession, also what experience I had in religious, fraternal or civic affair.;. I told them I was just a clerk in a pawnshop. I didn't tell them that I once: -was president of a cemetery. - was an owner of a company that built floats and decorated the town for the fim Rhododendron Festival in Asheville. -supplied the Asheville Police Department and the Sheriff's Department with guns and ammunition. I didn't tell them anything about my civic, fraternal, religious or social activities. I was sent to Tishomingo, Oklahoma for training in the Oklahoma State College for Agriculture to be an Air Force clerk in engineering. After graduating from the clerk's school in TIShomingo, I felt I would have an easy life in the Air Force being an engineering clerk. But my duties from Tishomingo to the islands in the South Pacific were: kitchen police mess hall fireman mess hall garbage director cleaning chickens �\ policing grounds digging ditches hauling poles ~ hauling fire:)vood hauling coal ,_ fighting forest fires ~ ) sorring merchandise a~house sorting salvage merchandise smashing tin cans hauling water finance clerk derail clerk runner for headquarrers sracking lumber cleaning rifles and machine guns building roads repairing bridges laying concrete operating gasoline pump telephone operator making inventories of supplies accing C.

' Gerring a good grade on my education at lishomin South Pacific I thoughr I was ready to do my job. '---My first difficulry was when A pilot comes in to see me afrer a combat mission on a B-24 Bomber number 023 and said that he failed to put on his reponing form #I that the rachometer indicator occilates excessively, would I please write it in the form for him. I rold him I would. You know, I didn't know what the h--- he was talking about and I couldn't even spell it. Tokyo Rose Tokyo Rose was an American girl broadcasting from a radio station in Japan during World War II. Her broadcast was received by the 13th Air Force in the Admiralty Islands located in the South Pacific area. / She played recorded American music in her broadcast. She advised us that our wives and sweethearts were daring the 4 F's - the men who srayed our of military service - and they would go to drive-ins for hamburgers and ~oca-colas. She also said that the Japanese would be waiting for our B-24 bombers scheduled for a mission in the morning with anri-aircrafr guns and fighter planes. Radios were scarce on rhe island. wanted to listen to Tokyo Rose so I wrote home and requested a small radio to be shipped ro me. They advised that the smallest radio weighed roo much to be shipped overseas by parcel post but they would rake it apace and ship it in two packages which was acceptable at the post office. uo in World Wor II �The radio deparunenr of the 5th Bomb Group said they would be glad to put the radio together for me. When I received the shipment in two packages I gave it to them. They repaired. it the best they could. I found that when I turned it on, it would work for abour a minute and then quit receiving. They could not find the trouble. One day I took a screw driver, tightened all the screws and thought I found rhe trouble. I put the radio on the table in the tent, started it receiving and in one minute it stopped. I was disgusted. I hit rhe radio, knocked it off rhe table; it hit rhc floor, bounced about two feet and started playing. It was okay from then on. In about a week Captain Gardner in the engineering department sent word that he wanted to sec me as soon as possible. I thought I had fouled up on keeping his engineering records but he had this to say: "Corporal Finkdstein we are having trouble repairing cqe radio on airplane No. 022 and we understand that you are the only one in the 394th Squadron that can solve our problem. Wtll you help us?" I forgot what I said, but I couldn't figure out how to knock an airplane off the table. Topless WOmen Now if you read the morning paper, you noticed headlines on the from page: "Topless Night Club Opens in Asheville." Well, you didn't need a night club to see topless women on those Sourh Pacific Islands during World War II. The trouble was they would move all the women to another island close by the island we occupied. We built a motor boar made of two airplane belly tanks and a small power unit so that we could go over and sec the women at another island. I didn't go over to see the women. I wasn't afraid of them, bur I was afraid the boat might sink. Before the war Smokey Joe owned a road house on the highway going south from Asheville and after talking to him I found that I had patronized his instirution on numerous occasions during my younger years. Since we were practically neighbors in civilian life, we felt rhat we should continue over there as good neighbors and so we were. There is no better friend in the army than a cook because when you get hungry, he is rhe only man who can help you out. In passing I might mention that Smokey Joe, Starvin Marvin and I have on numerous instances enjoyed eating surplus stocks of food from the Mess Hall. Smokey Joe told me that Sheriff Brown, in Asheville, took his automobile away from hiJ? once because rhe sheriff had found some whiskey in it that he was rransponing to his road house. In 1944, Sergeant Joe received a shipment of canned corn. Instead of using it for chow, he built a still in a fox hole and made corn whiskey out of it. In a neighborly spirit he _. invited me to drink what I wanted of the corn whiskey and he helped me trade watch bands for coca-cola syrup and ice cream from a Navy,C.B. outfit located near by. ~ While overseas, besides having corn whiskey made by Joe and medical alcohol diluted 50% by water and flavored with burnt sugar, we were able to buy bonded whiskey from the flying personnel who didn't drink their rauon~~were looking for souvenirs so I wrote<( Lion Nat Friedman to send me a Jap~e har~tkari k.ti e from his antique store. He sent<:___ me a similar one. It was a-cir~ ~a~ · e with Turkish letters on it. My cost was $4. It looked Iii<{; hare:kari lq\ife. I gave it to Sergeant Joe and asked him to see if h< 'hl:.oond~hiskey. He reported later that he couldn't get a fifth of could trade for a fifth whiskey for it but he did get two fifths for it. Now Smokey is fighting to get his freedom - his freedom to go home and dodge Sheriff Brown some more. Srarvin Marvin wants ro go home and see his wife and two year old boy, a child that he has never seen, and so it is with me - I want ro go home - I just want to go home. World 'War II Diary Sergeant joe Sergeant Smokey Joe's home is just a little bit south of Asheville, NC. He was mess good guy, and a GI who could sympathize with all the ~er had to eat the food he prepared. sergean~e 394th squadron, a Vo 48 I had nothing to do while recovering from a recent surgery so I found my World War II diary and read the following: Before the war, I thought know Sherman was right. bein[~e army would be a thrilling advenrure - bur now I 7l (_ �Before the war, I thought the Air Force was a mechani~d force- but now I wonder what the hell I'm marching for. cwfff.J VJI[. Mter the War lkfore the war, I thought the .AJhroi/k Citizm was a 9181ten newspaper - but now I enjoy reading one four days old. Sgt. Smokey joe Before the war, I would drink a cocktail before dinner - but now I drink milk with my dinner. Before the war, I would sometimes go to bed at 4 a.m. - but now I get up at 4 a.m. Before the war, I was particular about what girl I took out- but now I'm not so particular. Before the war I struggled over a golf course- but now I struggle over an obstacle course. Before the war, I used to shine at a dance - but now I shine my shoes. Before the war, I cussed at a golf ball - but now a sergeant cusses at me for not being on the ball. lkfore the war, I didn't have much religion - but now I pray for a furlough. Soon after a prayer for a furlough, the Red Cross advised me that a business associate of mine had committed suicide and I had been granted a rwo weeks emergency furlough for a trip home. A ~ 'Jtrer the war Smokey Joe opened his road house agam near Greenville, SC. He carne to see me and advised that they had arrested his partner for hauling whiskey in Buncombe Counry and wanted to know if I could help him out. I told him I knew the Chief of Police and Sheriff Brown and I would be glad to see what the situation was. He mid me they couldn't help as it was the federal authorities that arrested his partner. Thinking of how to get him a light sentence, I asked Joe if his partner was in the armed forces and he said that rhey had turned him down because he had a heart murmur. I told Joe to send his partner to Lion Dr. Feldman who was federal physician and I would get a report from him as to his heart murmur. Lion Dr. Feldman told me he had a heart murmur and as a federal physician he would advise Judge Warlick about it in federal court. At the trial, Joe's partner got a suspended sentence. Later he carne to see me with a roll of hundred dollar bills and wanted to pay me for getting him off. I refused the money and told him that Joe had helped me out during the war and what I did was a favor to Joe. Later he brought me six fifths of scotch for a present which I kept. Corn Whiskey at Road House Before the war, road houses would hide the corn �whiskey they served their guests in a container under a bed. When the sheriff's deparunent would raid the joint, they usually wouldn't look for it there. One night they found it and an article appeared in the AJhroilk Citizm that the sheriff's department confiscated a gallon of whiskey hid in a container at a road house. jim Dive/hiss and Beaver Lake Returning home from World War II, I was interested in building a house to live in. Jim Divelbiss, president of the Asheville Lions Club 1941-1942, said that he had a lot across the street from his home on Westwood Road in Lakeview Park and if I would build a om• story house so he could see Beaver Lake over the roof of my house, he would give me a good deal. I acquired the lot and built the house. He told me that as a resident of Lakeview Park I should take on some activity for the benefit of the park. He took me to the annual meeting of the property owners and I was elected as one of the three commissioners - no salary. When I met with the other two commissioners they told me I had charge of the lake and fishing and they would back me up in anything I wanted to do. I got phone calls. ~ I got a phone call from a resident ~~who said "stop the fishing, the fish arc diseased." contaCted the game warden from thtr:r<i"''ild.life Resources Commission and we found that a service st2tion alongside the creek that fed the lake had put old oil from automobiles in the creek. and it had k.illed a few fish. -v I got a phone call from a lady that an awful looking man wearing overalls was fishing. I asked her if she expected him to wear a ruxedo. I got a call advising that two women indecently dressed were near the dam of the lake. '"">I found..!.- •o be the wives of the two commissioners 811.11 ilafftillg.. t" - j\''Y<;u ~n 1 U1 • I found two men swimming in the lake, which was against the rules. They wid me they would swim and that I couldn't stop them. I told them to swim if they wanted to and that a sewer line had broken and was emptying in the lake, and they would probably get typhoid fever. They stopped swimming. I found a group of women in bathing suits with a photographer at the lake near Glenn Falls Road. I found them to be local beauticians getting their picture with the lake in the background. They were using the picrure on a cover of a program for a state convention of beauticians in Asheville. Fishing in the lake was allowed for licensed property owners only. I saw a man standing at the edge of the lake for 30 minutes just looking. On investigation I found he had a line tied to his belt that ran down the inside of his pants leg over his shoe into the lake. On the line he had a float and a haired hook. When the fish would bite and pull the float under he would kick his leg, hang the fish, pull it in, and nobody would know he was fishing. I appreciated what Lion Divelbiss had done by getting me elected to be fish commissioner of Beaver Lake. But I got a call that I was going to be elected president of Congregation Beth-Ha-Tephila and that construction would be started soon on a temple at Liberty and Broad Streets. I thought I could use some religion so I didn't run again for commissioner of Lakeview Park and I took up my duties as president of Beth-Ha-Tephila. I completed the financing of the building of the new temple in two years. I was tired out and hoped that maybe I could get some rest by being fish commissioner again at Bc:av~r Lake. Sternberg Hunting Rats _) Lio~ub <('_ ~ Joe Sternberg was president of the in 1960-6 I. His father, Siegfried Sternberg, came over to the U.S. at the tum of the century, procured a horse and wagon, and drove around western North Carolina buying cowhides and junk. He finally opened a junk yard on Depot Street and became one of the largest cowhide dealers in the United States. Lion Joe was my classmate in the Asheville High School class of 1922. He rented a freight car on the local freight train to Murphy and bought cowhides at the stations where the train stopped. I was watch inspector for the Southern Railway and would travel on the same train, giving the employees a certificate that in my opinion the watch they had wouldn't vary over 30 seconds a week. Going west you could go as far as Waynesville by auto and then by train to Murphy. Lion Joe Dave, president of the club in 1932, was conmuction engineer for the Sternberg Company who supplied steel for the construction of buildings. Later he organized the Dave Steel Company. Old man Sternberg did well financially and became president of the Southern State Bank on Depot Street. �He became active in civic, religious and fraternal affairs in Asheville. He built a big home on Victoria Drive. He didn't like the hdp he was gerring in Asheville so he imported a beautiful young maid from Germany. The maid went down to get an item from the garage and found Mr. Sternberg there. Mr. Sternberg got fresh with the maid, the maid -;..1 - -:,?ricked up a.22 caliber rifle that I sold him and shot him. The wound wasn't serious. The next morning a news item appeared in the Ash~ilk Citiun: "Sternberg Wounded While Hunting Rats in the Garage." Irving S. Cobb and Grove Park Inn P About sixty years ago my friend Fred B~ night clerk at the Grove Park Inn. ~e would tell me about the operation of~ A guest would find his home town news/ paper at his breakfast table. If he paid for anyuung, what change, if needed, would be given to him in uncirculated money. ~ounds The only entrance to was a large gate off of Macon Avenue. The gate ..._ was dosed at 10 p.m. as the noise from any automobile going in and o~d disrurb the guests. Irving S. Cobb, a famous humorist, spent a co~k,_of days at ~ I A little afrer <(_ ten o'clock one night, he tried to get his auto into ~;grounds. e ound the gate <. locked. He had to p~ car on Macon Avenue. He walked to ~ and complained loudly about it. He was advised that th@ n didn't wdcome any unusual noises afrer 10 p.m. In a little while he carne down to the lobby from his room carrying his shoes, nothing on his feet but his socks, walked very quietly to Fred Bradley and whispered to him, "I want to check out." In a couple of days a news item appeared in the Ash~vilk Citiun wrirrcn by Irving Cobb: "The Bunk of Buncombe." Read news article from Asheville Citizen-Times on suicide ;::::..-;::::. ~ I was reminded of an historical event years ago when I was sdling guns. A customer said he wanted an inexpensive pistol to keep in his home and he just obtained a permit to buy it. I sold him a.22 caliber lver Johnson pistol. This type gun was later known as a (_ "Saturday Night Special." sai?J "Don't call me mister, When I completed the sale I sai:)."Thank you, mister." He I'm a doctor. You call me doctor." I said, "Thank you, doctor." He took the gun home and committed suicide with it. Now I got to thinking. If he bought the gun today, he would have to make application to get a permit and wait rwo or three days for the permit to be issued. Maybe if he ~ had to wait that long for a permit, he might have changed his mind about the suicide. c. \ "'-... Then, I wondered why, as a doctor, he didn't write a prescription for some high powered sleeping pills, take several of them and just go to sleep and not wake up. I think I got an explanation. If any of you had to buy prescription drugs today, you know how expensive they are. And if they were that expensive back then when this happened, I guess the doctor felt he could save money by committing suicide with a "Saturday Night Special."

We soon found out that the golden years of life arc: just gold plated - the gold wears off and you find yourself in a situation of assorted problems. I was in the World War II battle in the South Pacific but I found that it was a cinch compared to the "old age" battle in the Summit. Some of the residents here arc: physically disabled and some arc: menrally disabled. I am 92 years old and I find that all the residents over 90 years of age are both mentally and physically disabled. In moving to apartment # 108, I asked if! could bring my piano. I was advised that my apartment had sound proof walls and it would be OK. A female resident in an apartment near me said that she enjoyed listening to me practicing but please don't play before eight o'clock in the morning- "it's liable to disturb my sleeping." The Summit was described to me as a "country club" retirement home with beautiful grounds, good entertainment and delicious food. In the so-called "country club retirement home," I am still looking for the golf course and a swimming pool. The department serving food is the best outfit here. The meals are delicious but I've never been �~ffered a cocktail befor~ dinner. The strongest drink I've ever had here has been i4ea. The Sanctimonious Band / Some day maybe we will have an enuee of a Maine lobster o r a wild duck on toast. I couldn't figure out my monthly bill. I was told that the adding machine I had was an antique and what I needed was a calculator and computer to get the correct amount. I was advised that the easiest thing for me to do was to write a check for the amount listed as BAlANCE on my statement. That would be satisfactory with the Summit. I never worry about paying my bills to the Summit - I let them worry. If I go broke, I'll just go next door to the Veteran's Hospital where I can get in any time since I have a disability discharge from World War 1!. The 1997 elections are over and I'm glad I'm a Democrat because I don't like what the Republicans will do with my benefits I get from Medicare and other government agencies to help pay the Summit. The Democrats are not so hot either. They lowered interest rates so much on my government bonds so now I have to cash them in order to have enough money to buy drugs. b. I played the piano with the Sanctimonious Band and we performed old songs and new, for Lions Club Ladies Day meetings and other gatherings. Sometimes I wrote songs similar to those that were sung by soldiers after World War II. Fritz Abertson wrote melody notes and completed the music for songs about Lions Club members who were veterans of World War II. j - Snapoo - Snapoo j Oh Madame - oh Madre, your daughter i I'd like to take her out a date Snapoo -snap-= . g scannie, Go-sn= Snapoo - Snapo i_n Oh sir - oh sir, she · roo young Snapoo - Sna o Oh sir - oh sir, s is too young She's never been ·sscd by any man's son Snapoo - snap , go-scannie, Go-sneeze Snapoo - napoo LN IINi Sylvia Oh Mother oh Mother, I'm not too young Snapoo - Snapoo Oh Mothe - oh Mother, I'm not too young I've been cd by the Rabbi's son Snapoo - ap-cczc, go-scannie, Go-sneeze Snapoo - Snapoo - �Oh Mother - oh Mother, Shelby's awful nice S apoo - Snapoo / 0 other - oh Mother, Shelbtwful nice 's An ow he's already kissed me icc Sn - snap-cc::zc, go-scannie, Go-sn= Snapoo - Snapoo Oh ~other - oh Mother, we' e leaving to eat S~apoo- Snapoo Oh M~er- oh Mother, e're leaving to eat We'~e t ·ng a ride in his my jeep Sna~a~:a:s:e~o-s Oh nie, Go-sneeze Mbth~ - oh Mo er, the moon is bright Snapo~Sna Oh Mod-i r oh M ther, the moon is bright d I' stay out all night Now Shel , go-scannie, Go-sneeze Snapoo - sn ~ Snapoopoo #2 I forgot to turn the srove off and the coffee pot was melted. #3 I forgot to turn the lights off. #4 I forgot to take my hearing aid with me. #5 I forgot to take my walking cane with me. #6 I forgot to take my reading glasses with me. #7 I forgot to rake my teeth. #8 I forgot to go to the bathroom - for my pills. I put a sign by the door where I leave the apartment listing the eight things I am supposed to do before leaving. Most times, I forget to look at the sign. ~SurgeryJ:yment < My doctor advised me that I needed major surgery and chat he would like to talk to me in his office. He wanted to know how I was going to pay my bill. I told him chat a former doctor in his establishment would accept Medicare, also ocher insurance benefits and send me a bill for what he didn't collect. I would chen send him a check. He advised that there were deductions on my insurance during me first part of the year and wanted to k.now if I had considered them. I rold him I didn't know, but I would write him a check now if he wanted it. Memory My memory is getting worse. In leaving my apartment, I find the following has hap- pened: #1 I fOrgot to tum the water off in the kitchen and the floor was flooded with water. Tht Sam:timonious &vm, 1-r. Fath" /Wph Ntagk, l.J.

I answered, "I think you are making a mistake. If you take my insurance payments you will get paid in thirty days. If you wait to take my check and I die, it will take you a year to collect from my estate.) )l He said, "You are wrong. I'm not going to let you <lie." So now, I'm looking forward to the future with many years of fears and tears, suffering from: memory loss, over-reacting. trouble with eating, sleeping and weeping, coor<lination, irritation, and constipation. I had something to say about hc:r in a lenc:r back home which is rc:cordc:d in my <liary as follows: 20 Oaob" 1943 ~ I can't tell you where I'm at because the censor wouldn't like it. I can't tdl you what kind of clothes I've been issued because you would know was going. I can't tell you about the camp because it's against the rules. \ I can't tdl you about my equipment; it would jeopardize my security. Prayer, or Humor, or What? I wondered what is the most beneficial to me- PRAYER, or HUMOR, or WHAT? Is it time for me to laugh, cry or <lie? "";;, I sent copies of my World War II Diary [see page~ to two preachers chat responded ' { as follows: I can tell you this though - I had a date with a girl I knew in AsheviUe by the namf of Sylvia who used to live in C hicago, who is now living in Los Angdes and who is visiting sdlne friends in a town near here and she is JUST AS SWEET AS EVER. After my rerum home after three: years overseas in World War II, I found her JUST AS SWEET AS EVER. And we got married. From preacher #1: Dearw: Thanlu for the grrat pieu. I enjoyed it! My best to you and Sylvia. I don't have hc:r now but in my estimation, her SWEETNESS WILL LAST FOREVER with me. Unless we are Indians From preacher #2: Thank yttU so much for that grrat •tmn home from World Wor ll • It's very fonny! AawdJy it rtJZlJy 1NIIie my d4y afor shoveling snqw. I too could uu a forlough. All my best to yttU muJ Sylvia. Later both preachers asked for permission to use my thoughts in sermons. Maybe I should have been a preacher instead of a pawnbroker. 7 My.:J" I had the honor of serving as president of Beth-Ha-Tephila in 1948 and 1949 during the: building and financing of the new temple at Libcny and Broad Suc:ets. I was Master of Ceremonies for the 50th Anniversary Banquet program of Beth-HaTephila in 1941. I also presided at the 75th Anniversary Banquet in 1966. I wasJI!norary Master of Ceremonies at the tOOth in 1991. .... ., at SylvUis Mnnorial Service Sylvia and I 'M:ft! married 52 years ago. Fifiy-five ycus 310• I was in Camp Stoneman, California waiting to be shipped overseas in World War II. ( Unless we are Indians, our ancestors came from foreign lands. I am thankful they did what they <lid so that I could have the privilege: of growing up in a ciry like Asheville, enjoy this great country of ours - a land of rdigious freedom and opponuniry. �Index Adarru, Lee . ••...•. .. ... . .... . ........ ..... .

Beaver, Editor Published by : The Center for Appalachian Studies AppaJachjan State University Boone, NC 28608 1997 �INTRODUCTION .... .c~c.j..,.~ l~' .Jol.A · Leo Finkelstein was born in Asheville, North Carolina in 1905, and in 191 I began school at the Montford Avenue Grammar School. He graduated from Asheville High School in 1922, where he was business manager of the Hillbilly, the school monthly magazine, as well as pianist for a musical group. From playing saxophone with the Asheville Shrine Club Maiching Band in the 1930s to piano with the Sanctimonious Seven for the Asheville Lion' s Club in the 1990s, Leo has served his community though music, humor, business acumen, and community leadership. In 1922 Leo took over management of Finkelstein's Pawnshop, a downtown Asheville institution, which Leo' s father Harry Finkelstein opened in 1903 shortly after immigrating from Lithuania. Since his retirement from Finkelstein' s in 1970, Leo has continued to be actively involved in the civic, fraternal, and religious life of the community. A member of the Asheville Lion' s Club for over sixty years, Leo has regaled his fellow Lions with his unique view oflife in Asheville and beyond. Inducted into the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1943, Leo was seen off at the bus by Lion C. Fred Brown, past president ofthe Asheville Lion' s Club and former Vice Mayor of Asheville, who advised Lejo to send letters back to the local Lion' s Club. Leo complied. What follows is his record of experiences and observations which were copied and sent back to the Asheville Lion' s Club, to be read at meetings during World War II. Following induction at Camp Croft, South Carolina, Leo endured Basic Training at Miami Beach, Florida, before being sent to Tishomingo, OkJahoma for training as an Air Force Clerk. His collected stories were recorded in a diary, given to him by Miss ~th Anderson, Leo's typing teacher at the Oklahoma College of Agriculture, where soldiers train~ to be clerks in the Air Force recei ..·ee iA&tA:IGtiett. The majority of the following stores, vignettes, and poems originated in the Philippines, where Leo served until4he final days of the war. �MY LIFE IN THE SERVICE rhe Diaxy of Leo Finkelstein 109 Lakeshore Drive Asheville, North Carolina SERVICE RECORD Transfers Spartanburg, SC Columbia , SC Miami Beach, FL Tishomingo, OK Kearns, Utah Pittsburg , CA Camp Croft Camp Jackson 414 Training Group Murray State College 501 Training Group Camp Stoneman Induction Reception Basic Training A.A.F.T.T.C.

I have learned six new cuss words (especially) for top Master Sergeants , how to use an electric potato peeling machine , how to go to Miami without a pass, how to stand at attention (while half asleep), how to shine my shoes with the minimum amount of energy. I have been told that I will be shot if I go AWOL or fall asleep on guard duty and will get half- shot if I drink too much whiskey (like I didn ' t know). I have had so many instructions on making beds , cleaning out toilet bowls and other domestic duties that I think I would make a better wife than a soldier. I have been taught to jump off of nine foot fences on the obstacle course and if I refused to do it - I would be locked up here. If I did things like that at home - I would be locked up there. I have been taught that if a pretty girl walks by- I c an look, think and wish, but I'm not allowed to talk or whistle at her. I have been taught to stand at attention and not move while a fly does calisthenics on my nose. This is the army Air Force. ~ From Tishomingo, Oklahoma Tishominqo was an Indian Chief who died here in the early part of the nineteenth century and t~is place has been dead ever since. This is the spot where the capitol of some Indian tribe was situated and today it is a spot where 500 soldiers are studying to be technicians in the Air Corps and at the same time improving their technique with the co-eds on the campus of this colle ge. *'***•********** �nn. ~t /\\ / / IV -~ \ My mail has been so light lately, I'm getting to t hink my BOis reaching all the way back to Asheville. --***** **'* **-lf**~~t Something happe ned to the water works in Tishomingo and the Army Officers found that the water wasn't pure so none of the soldiers can go into town until the town government gets the water works fixed. T can't imagine soldiers going to town to drink water but I guess some of t he officials are scared one of them will get drunk and take a bath in i t . .......... .... .. .......... Refore the war T thought being i n the army woul d be a thrilling adventure - but now I know Sherman was right . I Before the war I thought the Air Corps was a mechanized force - but now wonder what the Hell I 'm marching for. Before the war, I thought floors we r e to walk on - but now I 've found they are to sweep and mop on. Before the war, I thought the Asheville-Citizen was a rotten newspaper but now I enjoy reading one four days old. Before the war, I would drink a cocktail before dinner - but now I drink milk with my dinner . Before t he war, I would go to bed sometimes at 4 AM - but now I get up at 4 AM. Before the wa r, I was particular about what girl T took out - but now I'm not so particular. Before the war , I struggled over a golf course - but now I struggle over an obstacle course. Before t he war, T u sed to shine at a dance - but now I shine my shoes . Before the war, I cussed at a golf ball - but now a sergeant cusses at me because I'm not on the ball . Before the war, I didn ' t have much r eligion- but now I pray for a furlough . ****** .. *****•** In the Army you are always in a hurry to get somewhere so you ' ll have more time to wait after you get there. The obstacle course is so tough here that they take us on a nine mile hike to get limbered up so we can make it . ******"*****"**** A I reached the height of my social career in Tishomingo yesterday when my typing teacher , Miss Anderson, invited me to have dinner with her at the Payne Hotel in the heart of Tishomingo . Miss Anderson is not only the best looking lady teacher on the campus , but a nice person to t~lk to and get all the information about the r eligi ous, social, f r aternal, and political life in ~rmy �6 this county . I arrived at the Payne Hotel exactly on time - for who am I to keep a lady wait ing who invites me out to dinner and pays t he check. My first view of the interior of the hotel was depressing and to be conservative and brief with my description of this institution (founded in the stage coach days) is that it was a pain. Nevertheless, my companion was nice and the kindly smiles of an understanding teacher to a lonesome soldier helped greatly to make my evening a success. W entered the dining room with a great deal of precision and grace, e dodging some water that was leaking from the second floor through the ceiling and dripping on the dining room floor. Part of the plaster had already fallen from the ceiling and I felt surely the balance would come down at any minute. The dining room was also being u sed for a linen supply room and lumber s torao~ room. During our meal a lady would bring in dirty linen, pile it on the floor, and carry c l ean linen out. I never could figure out why all the l umber was stacked in the corner and was afraid to ask. After dinner my teacher took me for a personally conducted tour through the darkened, dirty and low-ceilinged halls to room #35 (where she lives) and behold - there T visualized her p ride and joy, a private bathroom - the only one in Tag Hotel . To be continued ... This place is thirty mi les from a telegraph office and so far from civilization that one gets awful lonesome at times. In fact o ne soldier got so lonesome that he got married on the telephone last night . This is a dry place, both in climate and drinking alcohol. It seems that Tishomingo is so dry that even the bootleggers don't sell it. ***•*********** They believe in getting married young here and I haven ' t found a single girl over 22 years of age, so I haven ' t found a suitable lady my age to take out. Would take some of the younger ones out but their papas keep shotguns and they know how to shoot straigh t out West. Many times jn my lifetime I have heard about people seeing snakes , especially at moments when more spirits were absorbed than the system could stand. This county here is very dry. In view of this fact I realized that I had not had a drink during the time I had been here - so it wasn ' t whiskey . Therefore i t must be a live snake and there it was on the barrack's floor crawling and wiggling and sticking its tongue out at me. That is not the only type pet that is found in our barracks. Just last week we discovered a couple of live frogs and now and then a stray dog will walk in to look us over . At night we are blessed with some miniature bombers to help put us to sleep. These extra large bugs are supposed to be June bugs but I know bugs couldn't grow that large in the one month of June. They gain a lot of �8 Today we we~e given a demonstration of war gases. I was told to put on my gas mask and was placed in a chamber filled with tear gas. Everything was lovely until I was instructed to t a ke the mask off and breathe the stuff which I did very reluctantly. My eyes burned , my nose burned, my throat burned and I cried and c ried and c~ied so they let me out into the fresh air . After partially r ecovering , I was informed t hat I would be s ubjected to several other popular brands of gasses and all I had to do was sniff each one (li ke a hound dog sniffs at a rabbit track) and associate the smell with something I had s melled i n civilian life. Thi s was easy and my a n alysis was as follows : Chlora-Pic knon gas smelled like corn whiskey . Phosgene gas s me lled like scotch whiskey . Chlori ne gas smelled like rye whi s key. Mustard gas s melled like bourbon whis key . Hydrogen- mustard gas smelled like otdinary coo ki ng whiskey. ****** ********* This camp is a c ross section between a conce n t ~ation camp and t h e Buncombe County c h ain gang.

All day Sunday The worst food in the Army Air Forces is served in the mess halls of Kearns Field, Utah. A soldier here was getti n g something to eat out of a �9 garbage can today and a Lieutenant nearby said, "Here you! Do you think you are better than the rest of the men on this field - get on in the mess hall and eat!" *************** I've had details on this post from the telephone operator on the firing range to the office boy in the Commanding Officer's office, but my most interesting detail was handed to me today when I was made "Garbage Man" for the Mess Hall. Now don't think that a garbage man ' s job is just an ordinary bit of work. To the contrary, i t takes a man who can stand gruesome odors and one who has specialized knowledge of slop and other varieties of waste. Neatly lined up outside of the kitchen of the Mess Hall are thirty-six GI garbage cans. My main duty was to see that the right stuff was put in the right can. There were certain cans designated for wet garbage, dry garbage, vegetable peelings, fruit peelings, egg shells, coffee grounds, bones, ashes and trash : You must be careful not to put coffee grounds in the slop as i t will kill the hogs. Tea leaves will make hogs very sick and if there is any broken glass in i t - it won ' t do the hogs any good. I was quite proud of myself when the K.P. Sergeant complimented me on my work. The onl y thing that worried me was that I was doing all this for the benefit of hogs and pigs. Recently deodorized, Leo I was told that every good soldier should know how to do his own laundry, so I decide that I • m going to do some wash.ing for myself. I tried to find out the best method for washing clothes but it seemed liked very soldier had a different system : After much cal cul ation and thought I start on what I think to be the correct procedure. The first thing I do is steal a bucket from the Mess Hall. Then I go to the PX and buy a box of Rinso and a bottle of Clorox. I put half the box of Rinso and half the bottle of Clorox in the bucket f illed wi th hot water and p l ace my underwear and socks therein . The directions on the box said to soak for one hour but in o r der to do a good job I figured I would put the bucket of clothes under my bed for a day or two. Everything was coming along fine until the Lieutenant came through the barracks on an inspecti on tour and saw the bucket of c l othes under my bed. I couldn ' t explain how the bucket got out of the Mess Hall or why I was doing my laundry during duty hours. The next thing I knew - I was restricted to the Post for a week. Nothing was going to stop me so I started to wash the c l othes . I found that the dye had run out of the socks and had got in the underwear and I couldn't get the dye out of the underwear or back in the socks. Therefore, I went up to t he Supply Sergeant and signed a statement of charges and got mysel f some new underwear and socks. Now I'm all washed up trying to wash my own washing. *************** rrom Ca~~p Ston..aan, CA I can't tell you where I ' m at because the censor wouldn't like it. I can't tell you what kind of clothes I've been issued because you would �10 know where I was going. I can't tell you about ~he camp because i ~s aga ins~ ~he rules . I can't tell you about my equipment because it would jeopardize my security. I can tell you this though - I had a date with a girl by the name of Sylvia who used ~o live in Chicago, who is now living in Los Angeles and who is visiting some friends in a city near here and she is just as sweet as ever. *************** The PX here reminds me of a country store with a night club atmosphere . You can buy anythi ng from beer to buttons with pret~y littl e teen-age girls to serve you. At very reasonable prices you can have coffee, doughnuts, cakes, sandwiches, drinks or ice cream, a gift for mother, a souvenir for sister, a can of shoe polish, a bottle of ink, a bath towel or your favorite pipe tobacco : A nickelodeon bell ows forth music in one corner whi le a group of soldiers are singing favorite songs in another. A Lieutenant-Colonel walks in without a neck tie. A captain is talking to a private in a friendly manner . A sergeant is conversing with a smiling WAC. Here is the common meeting ground of our f i ghting men and women - a last gathering place on ~heir nati ve soil . Soon we will be bound for strange lands and new assignments. *************** Pre. Boat on Paei.~ic oa.an Here I am on a boat on the Pacific Ocean. While I don't have the accommodations of a Cook's tour, I can see the same scenery that many people pay thousands of dollars to see (ocean and sky). The sleeping quarters are a little crowded and the bunks are so close to each other that many times I wake up with another guy's foot in my face or his knee in my stomach. The latrine is also a little crowded. Traffic is so heavy inside (if you can get in ) that it would make a New York traffic cop crazy trying to keep things st~aight. If you ever have to go, you got to go about an hour before you think you got to go so you will get there in time to go - then it takes about twenty minutes to get from where you go to the wash basin . Believe me, Firestone, if I could go out to your cabin for a month and have the privy at my disposal and that creek with fresh mountain water to do my laundry in - I'd be the happiest man in the world . *************** Here I am on an island in the South Pacific with nothing to write about. I can't write about the weather , I can't say whether it's hot or cold, rainy or dry. I can't tell the name of the island or the name of any towns near here or even if there are any towns on the island. I can't tell you if the country has mountains or plains or desert lands. I c a n't even tell you the col or of the soil, I can't tell you about the animal life, the birds; the fish or the insects . I can't tell you if the natives are white or black or yellow. I can ' t tell you what language the y speak or what country owns the island. I can't tell you if we are near an ocean, a river or a lake. I can't tel l you about the military personnel or equipment : I can't tell you about my duties . I can't tell you anything that would demoralize the civilians back home - so I'll close. �I want to tell you a story about a farmer's daughter on an island in the south Pacific . While out walking yesterday I stopped at the farmer's house and bought some cake and pie from the farmer's daughter. I asked her about some music and she brought out an ant~que model Victrola with some records. I thought I would hear some music with a South Pacific rhythm but instead it was some good old North Carolina mountain music played by a hillbilly band. Something always happens to remind me of home - damn it. J'roa Gu.clac•nel Mosquitos are big here. One lit in the runway and they put seventy gallons of gas in it before they found out it wasn't a P-38. *************** Back home it was said that money isn't everything in life. over here it might be said that money isn't anything in life. There is no place to spend it and nothing to buy. A free movie at night is the height of our entertainment. A bottle of beer once a week is the extent of our drinking. We look forward to mail call and chow. Mail from home is our greatest morale booster. On the walls of our living quarters are the pictures of a girl back home, a favorite movie star or maybe a scantly clad native girl. We see strange animals, lizards, and insects and often wonder why they like to crawl in bed with us. We search the region for souvenirs left by the Japs. We are visited by natives who wear a towel where their pants ought to be. We work hard, eat plenty and sleep well. There is no complaining here - we are just one big happy family. We have moved into our new wigwam known as "The Southside Social and Society Club, South Pacific Branch, Incorporated." Believe me it is a masterful piece of architecture in solid mahogany. Our foundation is made of empty gasoline barrels. our roof is made of empty bomb box tins. We got our lumber from an old torn down latrine. We did steal a few good boards after dark when nobody was looking. Our light sockets are home made out of airplane parts . We also have various pieces of antique furniture made out of shipping boxes picked up at the mess hall. We have a front porch. Our roof don't leak (very much). The entire frame-work of our house is covered with mosquito netting and at a distance the shack appears to be a huge bird cage with monkeys running around in it. Anyhow its home and it is good to know that we again have a place to call our own. *************** "Spot is a dog - a white dog with one black spot over his right eye. Spot is the mascot of a certain crew who maintained a certain airplane at a certain field in the South Pacific. Spot knew 'his' airplane - the airplane his crew worked on. Spot would ride out on the bus to the field every morning and would jump off at the bunker on which his airplane was parked. He knew the location of his plane just like a civilian dog would know the location of its home. He stayed by his a.irplane in all kinds of weather and admired the splendid way his crew kept the ship in shape. Not long ago the airplane didn't return from a flight therefore the crew didn't go out to the field. Spot would ride out to the field on the bus as usual every morning and would jump off at the bunker that had held his plane. For many days that followed I could see Spot standing there, a l one, on the empty bunker, waiting for his airplane to come home. *************** �12 I discovered a new animal today. It was a lizard, four feet long , running around in my front yard . The reptile looked like an alligator but it didn ' t have the same disposition . It was supposed to be harmless but he didn ' t look very sociable to me. His skin looked like it would make a good traveling bag but since I wasn't going anywhere , I didn ' t try to capture the thing. He finally ran down in my fox hole and I am hopin g , in the event I have to use that fox hole some night, that he won ' t be there with a wife and family. Anyhow, I am looking forward to the time when I can get home, where there is nothing to bother me but house flies , bumble bees and ants . *************** This is a dehydrated war . our breakfast is made at the mess hall with a powder: they mix with water. 0ut of this mixture comes hot cakes , pan cakes, flat-jacks and wheat cakes and t hey all taste alike . One gallon of dehydrated potato powder is mixed with water and out comes five gallons of mashed potatoes without mashing them. The dehydrated eggs at the mess hall have a sign on them reading " eggs" because they don ' t look like eggs or taste like eggs. The dehydrated milk turns out to be dark grey a nd putting i t in the dehydrated coffee keeps you from getting an infection from the stuff . The dehydrated lemonade could be used for battery acid but we use it mostly for washing our mess kits. If somebody would only invent dehydrated whiskey - that would be a great a contribution to the war effort. Our mail is even dehydrated into V-mail. Yes, everything is dehydrated around here except the weather . I am now a politician. of his tribe. I was the cause of a native being made " chief " This is how it happened. A certain native I called "Joe" would come over to my shack to visit me and even though he taiked very ~ittle English, I found out from him much about his life and the customs of his people . These poor devils work for ten cents a day. They sign up for a year and are paid in full at the end of their contract. Joe always admired a larqe knife that I had . This knife was sent to me from home, being one that I had jn my collection, hanging on the wall of my bar room. Every time I showed it to Joe a big smile would come over his face , his snow white teeth would shine like pearls, his eyes gleamed with fire and he would say over and over, " Nice, I like. Nice, I like! " He would carefully caress the etched figure of a lion on the blade and would gaze for minutes at his image on the shiny steeL One day Joe came over to see me . He had five American dollar bills wra pped in an old cloth bag. He offered me the five dollars and his war club for my knife. f traded wi t h h im and he left my shack the happiest man I've ever looked upon. I followed him over to the native village and there the whole tribe gathered around and made him chief because of his ability to acquire such a wonderful knife. Never would I have thought, when I nailed that knife to the wal l of my bar at home, that someday it wou ld be the cause of a man being made chief of a native tribe on an island in the South Pacific. *************** There are no sheets, no mattresses, no pillows, no springs on my cot but when I ~. ay down to go to sleep I acquire a feeling of comfort and contentment . Sometimes I gaze at the stars shining in the t ropical heavens . Other times I listen to the rain beating down on the tin roof . There are no pains , no nerves, no responsibilities , no vain regrets, no anticipation of gathering difficulties, no financial probJems to di·sturb my hard earned slumber.

Enormous tree trunks covered with s nake like vines , stran ge flowers and inhabited by screeching parrots tower above the semisolid mass of bamboo , palms , ferns , writhing roots , creepi ng l izards a nd t housands of energetic grasshoppers . There are hellgrammites and s piders to be had on the island but personally I could do well without t hem, especially after seei n g t he effects of their bites. *********"" ••••* Letters , letters , letters - that ' s t he only way I have to kee p in touch with the old country (the United States) and what a problem! Lette r s to my mother must be dignified and cheerful. Letters to my f r aternal brothers, the police department and some of the girls I used to go with don ' t have to b e so dignified. Letters to the Lions Club must be interesting and to the point. Letters to my attorney, accountant , and manager should eKpress my appreciation for their faithful services even though I ' m wonder ing if t hey a re o n the job . In my letters to my Rabbi , I try to be rel igious . In my lette rs to my social club, I try to be a beer drinker and an expert ca rd player . Letters to my best girl must be affection ate even t hough I t h i n k she is going out with a couple of sergeants. In my letters to my banker I am optimistic , cautious and hopeful . In all my letters I can ' t say anything that would demoralize the people at home because I know they are having a tough time with ration points , wh iskey shortages, War Bond Drives and taKes . Finally, T have to please the censor but he has an advantage over you - he can cut out what h e don't like . Foxes don ' t live in a fox hole. It ' s a place we run in, crawl in, fall in, sl ide in, scramble in o r jump in in event of an air raid. Mack and T got orders to fill in an old one by our shack . Mack is lazy as Hell and since I was getting up in years we decided to get a couple of natives to do the job . Mack went over to the native village a nd negotiated for the job, usi ng two bucks of mine for payment, which T furnished very reluctantly. W hen the natives started to fill the hole with dirt , a snake , five feet long , ran out . Mack, being a country boy, picked up the snake by its tail and Powers (a butcher in civilian life) , chopped his head off with an axe before I stopped running. The neKt thing to come out was a ground rat. One of the natives caught him with his bare hands and killed it before I could stop run ning . The next thir.gs to come out were four centipedes about a foot long apiece. One bite from one of these huge worms and you run for the dispensary as fast as you ca n, cussing your draft board ail along the way with words unfit to write. The fox hole is now filled up so guess I'll take a nap because I'm tired out from runnJ.ng. •+ ............ ....., .... .., ... . From Los Neqros-Admdralty Islands Prior to my induction i~ the army I considered myself a respectable upright citizen of Buncombe County , North Carolina . I was always honest except for a few times during my childhood days when I swiped onions from Mrs . Roberts ' garden, stole an apple from Mr. Book ' s grocery store and helped myself to all the cherries I could eat from a n eighbor's cherry tree . My ch~ldhood habits started again the other day when I volunteered (by �14 request) to help unload several barges of beer. Even though our secret weapons are not guarded , each barge of beer has armed guards. I found that if I accidentally dropped a case of beer that sometimes several bottles would fall out and in gathering up these bottles sometimes they accidentally got inside my shirt and as long as they were inside my shirt , I didn ' t see any reason not to drink them . Do you think I ' ll go to Hell for this? ********** * **** On this beautiful (to some people) island in the Adrniralt¥ Group one can sit under a swaying palm tree (until a coconut falls and bounces off your head) and admire the sun- kissed shores (through sun glasses to keep from going blind). You may breathe deeply of the fresh air (saturated with the smell of st3gnant salt water) and gaze at the moon (providing you can see t h rough ¥OUr mosquito net). In the daytime you can enjoy the cool refres h ing rains (if you don't mind getting as wet as a drowned r at) . In the evenin gs i t ' s your privilege to see a new movie featuring William s . Hart or Fatty Arbuckle and go back to your tent knowing you will have a good night ' s sleep (providing you take sleeping pills) . It is thrilling to search the jungle for souvenirs (if you don ' t mind picking up booby traps). If you get the tooth ache you can go to the dentist . If you don ' t feel like working you can go on sick call . If you get homesick you can go see the chaplain. This is an ideal place to be . Every morning at breakfast time I am greeted by " Porkie. " He is a little pig and a cute little pig at that . He could be part dog because he looks up at me and wags his tail. He could be part wild boar because he pushes me around with h is nose . Anyhow in this G·o dforsaken country I welcome most any kind of a friend and believe me Porkie is my friend because he will let me pet him and feed him . Nobody knows where Porkie carne from . Maybe the Japs left him here or maybe he wandered down into the camp from the hills. There have been some suggestions about killing Porkie and roasting h im over a fire but I don ' t think there is any danger of that happening because we can ' t eat Porkie and have him too . ***"~~"**'********• Sometime ago while I was on a troop transport a warning came over the loud speaker than a Jap battleship and two destroyers had been sighted . I was playing checkers , some other guys were playing cards , some reading . You could hear a number of wise cracks about the situation but nobody seemed to be disturbed . We were all in the same boat and i t appeared that regardless of our religious beliefs, political opinions , social or financial standings in civilian life, that being in the same boat under these conditions united us in the closest bonds of fellowsh ip . True this war has made soldiers of us but in (doing so it has not destroyed that individuality, humor and tolerance we possessed . In my opinion it has cemented firmer in us these necessities of a peaceful democratic society . (Adapted from an instruction booklet) Suppose you got lost in the jungle . You would have nothing to worry about as far as food is concerned . You may eat , with safety, anything that the monkeys eat and you can even eat the monkeys. They are considered a delicacy by the natives. �15 More than likely you would start your day off with a breakfast of grasshoppers. The legs and wings pulled off , toasted on the end of a stick or fried in coconut oil, they are not at all displeasing to the taste. Of course if you dcn't like grasshoppers you could eat winged ants , or termites particularly the queens and the eggs of ants . For dinner I would suggest roasted rat smothered with lizard tails . Rats are plentiful and have a taste similar to large fruit bats. Lizards are also plentiful and the meat from the hindquarters is preferred. A nice seaweed salad would be appropriate. Strangely enough seaweeds are not very salty and their water content is fairly fresh. In general, the pink, purple and the reddish or green seaweeds are best. For dessert I would recommend water lilies with chopped white grub worms. Supper should be your biggest meal. You could start out with snake meat sliced li ke bologna, wild sweet potato chips and fern tips. All s nakes are aood to eat - even the poisonous ones , if the head is cut off immediately after capture . Your soup could be turtle soup season ed with bamboo shoots and the buds of palm trees . A salad of bananas and figs would go good i f you could find some. Your main course may be porcupine stew or broiled kangaroo steaks with hard boiled bird eggs on the side. Seriously speaking all the items I have mentioned in this letter are edible and you don't need any ration points to get them. Was just thinking what i t would be like to have an Asheville Social Club here. To begin with you wouldn't have a modern building like the one at home. It would be a frame building covered with n etting or straw. The structur e wouldn ' t need a heating plant because we have an abundance of that here. You wouldn ' t be able to sell beer. The members would have to drink chlorinated river water and like it . The poker players wouldn't be able to concentrate on their hands as the roar of airplanes overhead would disturb them. You wouldn't be able to call a taxi to go home. You would have to wa lk - maybe in some pretty deep mud. You couldn't hold a dance as there are no women to dance with . The rummy players would have to be satisfied with old dilapidated cards as new ones are rare. The trustees would hav~ no worries since there is no place to spend any money. There would be one advantage of havi ng the Club here - you guys wouldn't have your wives calling you up at 1 AM to come home. *************** I got caught with my pants down. I went into the latrine this morning to enjoy a good smoke and to read the funnies. Gracefully, I made myself as comfortable as possible on the GI equipment therein, relaxing and watching the flies , red ants, and lizards playing football , follow-the-leader , and other games on the rafters and walls . Suddenly, I noticed a spider sitting right beside me - not an ordinary one with wire size legs , but one whose size reminded me of the lobsters I used to eat at home, and whose legs reminded me of those of Gloria Swanson . The gruesome and monstrous creature crawled slowly toward me and J. had no trouble doing my duty - it scared it out of me. In order that you might become acquainted with my dai ly routine here , I am listing activities below: 6 AM Wake up. Complain about the heat. Shake my shoes to see if any centipedes are parked inside .

I don' t have to s weep the floor because it is a dirt floor and it don ' t do no good to s weep t he d irt off of d i rt. 8 : 00 AM Sgt . Luec k comes in singing. Can ' t imagine why he is singing so early i n the morning. I soon find out the reason - he made Staff Sergeant on a new rating list . Sgt . Lueck says that I didn ' t make C::orporal on t he n e w list: 8 : 05 AM because the squ adron is lou sy with corporals and some of them will have to die , transfer, go home or get promoted before I cou l d get another stripe .

The subjects under discussion will be omitted for the benefit of any person under eight years of age who might read this. In this area we have the Army Air Forces and the United States Navy. I am in the Army Air Forces and my old friend , Harry Murdock, former assistant circulation manager of the Asheville Times, is in the Navy. Now, we see each other often , and in order to show how much the Navy will cooperate with the Army , Harry agreed to procure for me an item that the Navy has and the Army has not. (The method of obtai n i ng this item will not be revealed at t his time . ) I had not looked upon one of these luxuries for nine m onths and when he brought it to me, it was too delightful to d~scribe - too wonderful to believe . It was more welcome than an umbrella in t he rain, an ice cold drink on a hot day or a fur coat by a chorus girl. There wa s never such beauty in the mountains of western North Carolina at autumn time - no such glamour in a sunset on the ocean or a bathing beauty content. It was more invigorating than a scotch and soda or a banana split. Never before had I bestowed upon me such a gift and now when I go to sleep on that second hand "Navy issue " mattress , I ' ll dream of days to come when I can be home again . **************• Dear Mom: When I try to eat this GI food, T think of how I ate at home - it ' s then I think of you dear mom. When I look at my floor of dirt , I think of how the floors at home were so shiny and clean - it ' s then I think of you dear Mom. When I try to go to bed at night, T think of the soft bed T had at home with clean sheets and clean pillow cases - it ' s then I think of you dear Mom. When I have the toothache and nobody here seem to care - it ' s then I think of you dear Mom. When buttons c ome off I try to sew them on - it ' s then T think of you cear M om.

Happenings that didn ' t seem important at the time now seem to be great events . I think of the time when I was in the second grade of grammar school and stole an apple from M . Book's Grocery Store on Cherry S treet . I remember r the fjrst licking my daddy gave me for throwing a rock at my sister- he s h ook me so hard that the cuff links fell out of my shi r t sleeves and I never could find them . I thi n k about the first time I went fish ing and caught a fish. I remember the time I went hunting , killed a deer, and was s orry that I did it. T t h ink about my golf games at Beaver Lake. I can recall the ti me J almost had a fight with Dr . Robinson at a Temple Club meeting. I think of the time I beat John Vance i n an e l ection for trustee of t h e Elks Lodge. M fondest y memories are of the c h ildren around town who called me "Uncle Leo. " I think about the Christmas day whe n I played Santa Claus with the members o ·f the Lions Club at the Salvation Army Chapel . I think of the n ight that I , a bachelor, presided at a Father and Son Banquet at Congregation Be th-HaTephila . I think very little of the materialistic things I left behind. I realize now that the important things in my lifetime - the things that mean the most to me now were just little things , j u st everyday happenings. •****""********* Corporal Mark is a great g u y and that is why t like to do a favor fo r him if I can . Well, I am the guy who makes up the de t ail list and Corporal Mark requested that I put hi.m on the roving guard detail. Now, a r oving guard has a comparatively easy job . He gets a jeep , rides around all night and sees that no one steals one of our heavy bombers (weight 60 , 000 pounds). Corporal Mark is very efficient in his guarding because he goes beyond the usual call of duty and guards, not only the bombers , but the mess hall and other places where food and supplies are stored. Corporal Mark is very successful in �19 obtaining various types of edibles while on guard duty and during the early morning hours h e and I devour this food wi t h a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction to our always hungry stomachs. Now Corporal Mark is an upright and honest fellow and T think he was getting the idea that we weren ' t justly e n titled to the extra stuff to eat . That idea soon vanished because I told him about the amount of taxes the government was hitting me for while I was over here fighting for world peace so we decided that we could go on procuring this nourishment without hesitation and with a clean conscience. ** * ************ From Waltda , New Guinea I Wanna Go Home Here T ~m ~n enli~ted man , Getting along the best I can, The officers h ave stea k while I eat Spam, I wanna go home.

I sure felt important when the fellow over there asked me to sign a receipt for the ship. Can you imagine Pfc. Finkelstein signing for $250 , 000 worth of airplane? I assure you it was less trouble for me to get that airplan e than it would be for you to kiss a bride at a wedding . I climbed up in the pilot ' s cockpit while Sergeant Reville hooked his eletrac to the nose wheel of the plane . Now Sergeant Reville can pull these 60 , 000 pound monsters around the field with his eletrac just like a baby pulls a wagon around the living room and knocks over all the furniture only Sergeant Reville never knocks anything over . He pulled me and the airplane down the taxi strip to our area where I stopped the gasoline truck and said, " Hey Corporal , fill her up . I think she will take about 3000 gallons. " As he was filling it up I recalled the time when I was home on my furlough and needed a little extra gasoline to drive my girl up to my favorite parking place on Beaucatcher Mounta in and return home (at a decent hour - of course) . Well, I went to the rationing board and they would only give me five gallons - the stingy devils. Wish they could see me now getting 3100 gallons. The only trouble over here is that I got no automobile and no girl to drive up a mountain. ******* .................. . Thousands of Japs had landed , �20 Near the land of the rising sun , On an island in the Pacific , They had nowhere else to run . Now on this tiny island, A good size town was found , The Japs - they took it over, And wandered all around. Our bombers got their orders, And took off on the mission, To save the town if possible, And bomb the Jap position. One bombardier was fearless, And always on the ball, This flight he made a grave mistake , ith no excuse at all . W He aimed right at the target, He carefully fjxed his sight, He missed the Jap position, Hit a house with a big red light. Now when we take that island, And give the Japs a trimmin ', W 'll still be cussin ' the bombardier, e Who blew up all the women . ************** It all started when I received one of Finkelstein's $7;95 rebuilt watches. A guy offered me an old radio and twenty- five dollars in cash for it and I traded . Money is almost useless over here but I managed to give the twenty-five dollars to another guy who gave me a half gallon of home-made drinking beverage wh ich I think was made out of fe~ented canned corn and 100 octane gasoline. I pooled my half-gallon of imitation "Carolina corn " with a fellow who had a case of beer and we proceeded to drink it all up but he passed out before we finished and I had ten cans of beer left on my hands as my share of t h e party . I traded the beer for a pipe , ten packages of tobacco , a pocket knife and a fountain pen. I traded the knife for a flashlig ht and three cans of beans. I ate the three cans of beans and traded the fountain pen for an electric light socket , a cigarette lighter and two dollars. I invested the t wo dollars i n a crap game, won eight dollars, took the proceeds and bought a radio tube to fix my radio. I traded the radio for a boat which later sank. I traded three packages of tobacco for four cigars and three air mail stamps . I smoked the cigars and used the three air mail stamps to write to three friends back i n t he States requesting from each a box of food. Now, when and if I receive these boxes of food , I will be able to render to you a complete financial statement as to how I came out on the watch. ******* * *•***** Here in the jungle we don ' t have houses fo r house flies to live i n but we do have house flies . These flies look like the flies at home ~who have survived the fly swatter , but they don't lead the same kind of life. They follow us wherever we go but they don't follow us to the mess hall because they don't like the Gl food t he mess sergeant slings at us no more than we do. Once in awhile, if a fly gets about half starved, he will fly around the mess hall looking for something to eat . They are persistent devils and they won ' t ~ �21 be shoo'd away like the American flies. Quring din ner one made eighteen dives at my mess kit before I got him. Many of these brave flies , who dare eat our food, just turn over on their backs after the first bite , kick their legs up in the air and die. It ' s a rough war- even for flies . The war seems to be getting longer every day. *************** From Noamfoor Starvin ' Marvin's real name is Sgt . Marvin Binion but we call him Starvin ' Marvin because he never gets enough to eat. In fact none of us get enough to eat - only he complains about it more than we do. Now Starvin' Marvin has given everybody in our tent a name . Luke the Droop is really Sgt. Lueck, chief engineering clerk. Ed the Red is a crew chief on an airplane. Herman the German is chief clerk in Tech Supply and Leo the Hero is nobody else but me, an ordinary clerk who is fed up with the setup. Luke the Droop has been overseas thirty months and expects to go back to the States on the "Rotation Plan" only i t hasn't rotated far enough to reach him yet. on this account he is very cautious during air raids because he figures he is going home soon and he wants to get there in good shape . One night Hoim the Woim (which is a short name for Herman the German) woke us up yelling "Air Raid. " Luke the Droop was dressed and in a fox hole before any of us got out of bed. By the time I put on my shoes and grabbed my clothes everybody was gone including Ed the Red who moves very slowly especially when it comes to doing any work on his airplane. I wandered out of the tent , the moon was shining brightly and everything seemed peaceful to me . It wasn ' t peaceful long and I beat five guys to a jeep and crawled under it. It was my first air raid experience and now I imagine I ' l l be know as " Foxhole Finkelstein" instead of Leo the Hero . ************** ... Written from Morotai My Helmet My helmet is a useful thing , To wear upon my head, It's made of good materials , And feels almost like lead . My helmet makes a wash bowl, I can use it any place , I fill it up with water, And wash my hands and face. My fox hole roof is awful low, I can ' t stand up in there, So I put my helmet on the floor , And use i t for a chair . Now if I want a ba5ket, To hang down from my bunk, �22 It sure does make a lovely thing, To hold all kinds of junk. Now if I ' m sentimental , For flowers and that rot , I fill it up with good old dirt, ~nd I got a flowe r pot. Now if I want to take a nap, Beneath a weeping willow, I place it down upon the ground , And U5e i t tor a pillow. No w when I ligh t a candle , need a candlestick , I tur n the helmet upsid e down, It always does t h e t r ick . ~d Now when my socks get di r ty , the odor isn ' t right , I fill the thing with soapy water, ~nd let them soak all njght . ~d Now hard boiled eggs are something , I always did admire, So I fill the helmet full of water , ~nd put them on the fire. Now when we had a dim out, There ' s no use to be afraid , I put the helmet on the light , And use i t for a shade . Now when this war is over, (I ' ve often heard it said) , The helmet ' ll be a useful thing , To keep beneath the bed. finis ***********•*** Littl e Wacs Real cute They want Parachute.

There are no cannibals . That's more than I can say for the tax collector back home . Taking a bath o u t of a helmet is more complicated than you thi nk. Nevertheless , the job can be done without exerting too much effort if t he following di r ections are complied with: Never try to sit in the helmet. P1ace it o n a corne r p o l e o f a tent a nd stand beside it . Buckle the c h in strap and let i t h a ng down like a flower basket. rill t he helmet full of water . Get the water i n a legitimate manner if you can, otherwise steal it from the mess hall or the officer ' ~ showers there is ~J ways plenty there . Place a copy of you r home town n e wspaper on the ground (the Sunday edition is best because i t has more pages and makes a softer bath mat) . Take a cake of soap and using the water in the helmet lather up from feet to head or head to feet - it don't make no difference. Before the soap drjes , fill the helmet with fresh water and pour ove r top of head. This is repeated until all the soap is washed off. If the water is too cold , there is nothing you can do about it . Dry with a towel either clean or dirty. Shake all a nts and bugs out of towel before using. In the event of an air ra1d during the p r ocess of taking the bath , go to your fox hol e at o nce. ALter the " all clear" start all over from the beginni ng. �24 ************ .. ** A j ungle snake, on Guadalcanal , Went crawling over , To see his gal. He found his gal, Did not feel fit , She had a cold, That wouldn't quit. And every time, That she would cough , The jungle snake , Would get hissed off . Master Sergeant Johnson and I started the evening off by opening a can of salmon a nd ended up by opening a gold mine or at least we planned to open o n e after the war. Sergeant Johnson, after looki ng at the label on t he above mentioned salmon can, told me that he was once foreman of the cannery in Alaska that canned this particular can of salmon. He insisted on telling me about the different species of salmon , the white salmon , the pink salmon and I forgot the other colors he mentioned. Anyway I wasn ' t i nterested in the colors of salmon in Alaska because I was hungry and the only salmon I was i nterested in at that particular time was the salmon in the can . In order to be sure we wouldn ' t get poisoned by the salmon, we took several shots of Jungle Juice before and after eating the fish . For you r information Jungle Juice is made of 190 proof medical alcohol, colored and flavored with burnt sugar and diluted w.itl'l a small quantity of water. Jungle Juice seems to build up conversation and the conversation drifted all around Alaska. We finally got on the subject of gold and gold mi nes. According to what Sgt. Johnson said , he had done a goodly amoun t of gold hunting in Alaska and was well versed in mineralogy . We figured we could buy a seaplane after the war from the Navy at a fraction of the original cost , fly to Alaska, land on the many i naccessible lakes , pan their shores for gold and get rich quick (if the income tax man don ' t find us) . I have written all my friends back horne offering to sell them stock in the Finkelstein- Johnson Expedition to Alaska. Smoky Joe's horne is just a little bit south of Asheville, North carolina. He is one of the cooks down at our Mess Hall, a good guy, and a GI who can sympathize with all the other G.Is who have to eat the food he prepares. Before the war Smoky Joe owned a Load house on the highway going south from Asheville, and, after talking with him I found that I had patronized his institution on numerous occasions during my younger years . Since we were practically neighbors in eivilia n life 1 we felt that we should eontinue over here as good neighbors and so we are . There is no better friend in the Army than a cook because when you get hungry - he is the only man who can help you out . In passing , I might mention that Smoky Joe, Starvin' Marvin and I have on numerous i nstances enjoyed eating surplus stoeks of food from the M ess • �25 Hall. Smoky Joe told me about Sheriff Brown taking his automobile away from hi m enee beeause the Sheriff had feund some whiskey in it that he (Smoky) was transporting to his road house . Now, Smoky is fighting to get his freedom his freedom to go home and dodge the Sheriff some more, and there is Starvin' Marvin who wants to go home to see his wife and two year old boy; a child that he has never seen~ and so it is with me - I want te go home - I just want to go home. *************** Less than twenty four hours after we landed here we found it - a path that wound its way through the jungle to a dance hall. Now I have danced in New York night clubs, patronized dine and dance places in Mexico, attended parties in exclusive social clubs in Havana, and participated in barn dances in the hills of North Carolina but never have I witnessed a set-up like this one. The dance hall was a native hut with a grass roof and a wood floor. The admission price two pesos. The band consisting of a saxophone, banjo and drum played familiar tunes like "Johnnie Get Your Gun" and "A1exander's Ragtime Band." Seated around the dance floor were several Filipino girls in their recently washed dresses. It was your privilege to dance with them but before doing so you had to remove your shoes and place them under the girl's chair. GI shoes are dangerous weapons, while jitter-bugging with these fair (slightly dark) bare-footed girls and it is while dancing in your socks that you get the true meaning of "socks appeal". ********** ***** I made Corporal but: 1. It was easier for me to date a New York chorus girl. 2. I expended less energy in climbing to the top of Ht. Mitchell. 3. I had fewer headaches going through the depression of 1933. 4. It was less trouble to figure out my 1942 income tax return. 5. course. 6. It took a smaller amount of skill to break a hundred on the golf It took less will power to stay sober on New Year's Eve . (I expect to make Sergeant during World War III.) ************** Since Finkelstein, Silverstein and Stein live in tent 99 anything is liable to happen. We play. We play gin rummy almost every night and I do not hesitate to take Stein and Silverstein on in any gambling activity that might be beneficial to my financial status. I am glad to take their pesos as both smoke my cigars without any offer of payment for same. Silverstein talked so much that the CO made him news commentator for our radio station. Stein's old man manufactures shirts in New York City and his son, a chip off of the old Stein, tries to take the shirt off the back of everybody he does any trading with. So with the oratorical ability of Silverstein, the progressive attitude of Stein and my Finkelstein knowledge of big business, we procured ten gallons of ice cream at a cost of 8 3/10 cents per gallon. It may interest you to know that the market price of ice cream on this island is $7 per gallon. �26 I will relate to you with brevity just how this trade was made. I received from Finkelstein's an item of merchandise retail value $9.75. Stein and Silverstein, under my supervision, traded this item for the ten gallons of ice cream . Off hand it would seem that the cost of the ice cream would be 97 ~ center per gallon but that is not true. I do not expect to pay Finkelstein ' s Inc. for this item of merchandise , and as a stockholder i n said corporation I have instructed them to c harge the accoun t off as a loss . They will not lose the $9.75 as the wholesale cost is less than this amount and furthermore they can deduct the loss from their income tax returns. After much scientific calculation I find that my stock in Finkelstein ' s Inc. has decreased in value 83 cents therefore the cost of the ice cream to me was 8 3/10 cents per gallon. ******* ******** Assorted Duties: chopping down trees digging a well hauling poles hauling fire wood hauling coal fighting forest fires sorting merchandise at warehouse sorting salvage merchandise smashing tin cans hauling water finance clerk detail clerk runner for headquarters stacking lumber pulling weeds and grass cleaning barracks watering trees loading and unloaaing trucks loading and unloading freight cars loading barracks bags on boats and trucks cleaning hatches on boats latrine orderly painting machinery communications clerk engineering cler k �27 Editor's Note: At the end of his tour of duty, Leo Finkelstein returned home to Asheville, North Carolina to resume management of Finkelstein's Pawn Shop.

Leo graduated from Asheville High School in 1922, where he was business manager of the Hillbilly, the school monthly magazine, as well as pianist for a musical group. From playing saxophone with the AsheviJie Shrine Club Marching Band in the 1930s to piano with the Sanctimonious Seven for the Asheville Lion's Club in the 1990s, Leo has served his community though music, humor, business acumen, and community leadership. In 1922 Leo took over management of Finkelstein's Pawnshop, a downtown Ashevillt> institution which Leo's father Harry Finkelstein had opened in 1903 . Since his retirement from Finkelstein's in 1970, Leo has continued to be actively involved in the civic, fraternal, and religious life of the community. A member of the Asheville Lion' s Club for over sixty years, Leo has regaled his fellow Lions with his unique view oflife in Asheville and beyond. Inducted into the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1943, Leo was seen off at the bus by Lion C. Fred Brown, past president of the Asheville Lion's Club and former Vice Mayor of Asheville, who advised Leio to send letters back to the local Lion' s Club. Leo complied. What follows is his record of experiences and observations which were copied and sent back to the Asheville Lion's Club, to be read at meetings during World War II. Following induction at Camp Croft, South Carolina, Leo endured Basic Training at Miami Beach, Florida, before being sent to Tishomingo, Oklahoma for training as an Air Force Clerk. His collected stories were recorded in a diary, given to him by Miss Ruth Anderson, Leo's typing teacher at the Oklahoma College of Agriculture, where soldiers trained to be clerks in the Air Force. The majority of the following stories, vignettes, and poems originated in the Philippines, where Leo served until the final days of the war. �r ~ ~ 9-- "'-""-" '-- dl V b, (9 ft.t.\-0 ) le..o ~-t ~""' ~ • .:· c: • ·.. • .:. ,_:·.·!:'.. ;: . .: ... ~l.·.......... ........

I have learned six new cuss words (especially) for top Master Sergeants , how to use an electric potato peeling machine, how to qo to Miami without a pass , how to stand at attention (while half asleep) , how to shine my shoes with the minimum amount of energy . I have been told that I will be shot if I go AW OL or fall asleep on guard duty and will get half- shot if I drink too much whiskey (like I didn ' t know). I have had so many instructions on making beds , cleaning out toilet bowls and other domestic duties that I think I would make a better wife than a soldier . I have been taught to jump off of nine foot fences on the obstacle course and if I refused to do it - I would be locked up here. If I did things like Lhat at home - I would be locked up there. I have been taught that if a pretty girl walks by - I can look, think and wish, but I ' m not allowed to talk or whistle at her. I have been taught to stand at attention and not move while a fly does calisthenics on my nose . This is the Army Air Force . From Tishomingo , Oklahoma Ti shomingo was an Tndian Chief who died here in the early part of the nineteenth century and this place has been dead ever since. This is the spot where the capitol of some Indian tribe was situated and today i t is a spot where 500 soldiers are s tudying to be technicians in the Air Corps and at the same time improving thejr technique with the co-eds on the campus of t h is college. *************** �5 My mail has been so light lately, all the way back to Asheville . I ' m getting to think my BOis reaching *************** Something happened to the wa ter works in Tishomingo and the Army Officers found that the water wasn ' t pure so none of t h e soldiers can go into town until the town government gets the wate r works fixed. I can ' t imagine soldiers going to town to drink water but I g u ess some of the officials are scared one of them will get drunk and take a bath in it. Before the war I thought being in the army would be a thrilling adventure - but now I know Sherman was right. I Before the war I thought the Air Corps was a mechanized force - but now wonder what the Hell I 'm marching for. Before the war, I thought floors were to walk on - but now I ' v e found they are to sweep a nd mop on. Before the war, I thought the Asheville-Citizen was a rotten n ewspaper but now I enjoy readi n g one four days old. Before the war , I would drink a cocktail before dinner - but now I drink milk with my dinner . Before the war, I would go to b ed sometimes at 4 AM - but now I get up at ll AM . Before the war, I was particular about wha t girl I took out - but now I ' m not so particular. Before the war, I struggled over a golf course - but now I s truggle over an obstacle course . Before the war, I used to shine at a dance - but now I shine my shoes. Before the war , I cussed at a golf ball - but now a sergeant cusses at me because I ' m not on the ball . Before the war, I d i dn ' t have much religion - but now T pray for a furlough. *************** In the army you are always in a hurry to get somewhere so you ' ll have more time to wait after you get there. *********'****** The obstacle course is so tough here that they take us on a nine mile hike to get limbered up so we can make i t . I reached the height of my social career in Tishomingo yesterday when my army typing teacher, Miss Anderson , invited me to have dinner wi th her at the Payne Hotel in the heart of Tishomingo . Miss Anderson is not only the best looking lady teacher on the campus, but a nice person to talk to and get all the information about the religious , social , fraternal , and political life in �6 this county. I arrived at the Payne Hotel exactly on time - for who am J to keep a lady waiting who invites me o ut to dinner and pays the check. My first v iew of the interior of the hotel was d epressing a nd to be conservative and brief with my description of this institution (founded in the s t age coach days) is that it was a pain. Nevertheless , my compan jon was n ice and t he kindly smiles of an understanding teacher to a lonesome soldier helped greatly to make my evening a success. We entered the dining room with a great deal of precision and grace , dodging some water that was leaking from the second floor through the ceiling and drippi n g on the dining room floor. Part of the p laster had already fallen from the ceiling and I felt surely t he balance would come down at any minute . The dining room was also being used for a linen s upply room and lumber storage room. Du ri ng our meal a lady would bring i n dirty line n, pile i t on t h e floor , a nd carry clean lin en out. I never could figure out wh y all the lumber was stacked in the corner and was afraid to ask . After dinner my teacher took me for a personally conducted tour through the darkened, dirty and low-ceilinged halls to room #35 (where she livesl and behold - there I visualized her pride and joy , a private bathroom - the o~ly one in ~ iotel. 1"'""' I" To be continued ... This place is thirty miles f rom a telegraph office and so far from civilization that one gets a wful lonesome at times . In fact one soldier got so lonesome that he got married on the telephone last night. This is a dry place, both in climate and drinking alcohol. It seems that Tishomingo is s o dry that even the bootleggers don't sell it. ••************* They believe in getting mar r ied youn g here and I haven ' t found a single girl over 22 years of age , so I haven ' t found a suitable lady my age to take out . W ould take some of the younger ones out but their papas keep shotgut:s and they know how to shoot straight out W est. Many times in my lifetime I have heard about people seeing snakes, especially at moments when more spirits were absorbed than the system could stand. This county here is very dry. In view of this fact I realized that I had not had a drink during the time I had been here - so it wasn ' t whiskey. Therefore it must be a live snake and there it was on the barrack ' s floor crawling and wiggling and sticking its tongue out at me. That is not the only type pet that is found in our barracks. Just last week we discovered a couple of live frogs and now and then a stray dog will walk in to look us over . At night we a re blessed with some miniature bombers to help put us to s l eep . These extra l a rge bugs are supposed to be June bugs but I know bugs cou l dn't grow tha t l arge in the one month of June. They gain a lot of �7 altitude and all of a sudden will dive at you and manage to find the one bare place that is out from under t h e cover . Otherwise t here is nothing much to bother you in Tishomingo. No pretty girls to get your mind off of your studies and you don ' t even have to be afraid of Indians because they are all tame . ************* * * From Kearns , Utah My frie nds never seemed so numerous - my bed never felt softer - my heart never beat faster - my Hudson never purred so smoothly - days never went by quicker - Mama's food never tasted so delicious - Patton Avenue never looked so glorified - the mountains were never more thrilling - the grass never looked greener - the girls never seemed prettier - the sun never shone brighter - and The Lions Club never looked better as i t did on my furlough home . Don ' t know what the city debt is now but take my word for it - Asheville is worth every damned penny of it. *************** Am here at an overseas replacement training center and considering the tough training I ' m getting now - it looks like the Army is going to make a commando out of me instead of an Air Force Clerk . ****** *** ***** * The Air Corps is just like our G.I. laundry: you get out of it just what you put into it , but you ' d never recognize it. *************** (Copied from another source) ~J~~ ~\. "After returning from my Homing uevice' (furlough), I went to Salt Lake City and done some Blind Flying (date with a girl one has never seen). W e we nt to the USO and had some Battery Acid (coffee). The Hash Burner (cook) didn ' t do so well that n ight so we didn ' t eat , instead we went out to look for some Serum (intoxicating beverage). After a few drinks I had to tell her to roll up her flaps (stop talking) . Then she left me and I had to go on ~ Patrol (search for more female companionship) . Believe me, I walked so much that night that I was ready for a Dog Show (foot inspection) ." *************** Yesterday I went on a ten mile hike in the blazing sun and a dust storm with GI shoes on my feet , leggings on my legs , a steel helmet on my head, a cartridge belt around my waist with a first aid kit and a canteen full of water beating against my side, a gas mask on one shoulder , an eight pound rifle on the other, a pack on my back with a tent, a tent pole, 5 tent stakes, a tent rope , a raincoat, a blanket , a knife, a fo rk, a spoon, a cup, other mess equipment , a suit of underwear, a pair of socks, a handkerchief, a towel , shaving cream, shaving brush, toothpaste , a comb , a razor, a mirror, soap, a bayonet i n my belt and two hand grenades in my packet . I spoke several cuss words out loud before I returned. I'll be court marshaled for that? *************** Do you think �8 Today we were given a demonstration of war gases. I was told to put on my gas mask and was placed in a c hamber filled with tear gas. Everything was lovely until I was instructed to take the mask off and breathe the stuff which I did very reluctantly. My eyes burnedt my nose burned, my throat burned and I cried and cried and cried so they let me out into the fresh air. After partially recovering, I was informed that I would be subjected to several other popular brands of gasses and all I had to do was sniff each one (like a hound dog sniffs at a rabbit track) and associate the smell with something I had smelled in civilian life . This was easy and my analysis was as follows: Chlora-Picknon gas smelled like corn whiskey. Phosgene gas smelled like scotch whiskey. Chlorine gas smelled like rye whiskey. MUstard gas smelled like bourbon whiskey. Hydrogen-mustard gas smelled like ordinary cooking whiskey. This camp is a cross section between a concentration camp and the Buncombe County chain gang. They keep you in this camp a couple of months before you are sent to a combat zone. They figure if you can live here two months without serious complications that you s hould be able to iive at any other point in the world for ten years. *************** It's so dirty here and I'm so used to it that if I ever get back home on a furl ough I'll have to sprinkle sand in the bed so I can sleep. *************** We are not troubled with rats here - they can't live in this climate . ••••••••••••••• I went to Bunny's Beer Garden last night and stayed to 5 AM and took Bunny home.

A soldier here was getting somethinq to eat out of a �9 garbage can today and a Lieutenant nearby said, "Here you! Do you think vou are better than the rest of the men on th~s field - get on in the mess hall and eat!" ••••••••••••••• I've had details on this post from the telephone operator on the firing range to the office boy in the eommanding 0fficer's office) but my most interesting detail was handed to me today when I was made "Garbage Man" for the Mess Hall. Now don't think that a garbage man's job is just an ordinary bit of work. To the contrary, it takes a man who can stand gruesome odors and one who has specialized knowledge of slop and other varieties of waste. Neatly lined up outside of the kitchen of the Mess Hall are thirty-six GI garbage cans. My main duty was to see that the right stuff was put in the right can. There were certain cans designated for wet garbage, dry garbage, vegetable peelings ) fruit peelings, egg shells, coffee grounds, bones, ashes and trash . You must be careful not to put coffee grounds in the slop as it will kill the hogs. Tea leaves will make hogs very sick and if there is any broken glass in it - it won't do the hogs any good . I was quite proud of myself when the K,p , Sergeant complimented me on my work. The only thing that worried me was that I was doing all this for the benefit of hogs and pigs. Recently deodorized, Leo *************** I was told that every good soldier should know how to do his own laundry, so I decide that I'm going to do some washing for myself. I tried to find out the best method for washing clothes but it seemed liked very soldier had a different system. ALter much calculation and thought I start on what I think to be the correct procedure. The first thing I do is steal a bucket from the Mess Hall. Then I go to the PX and buy a box of Rinso and a bottle of Clorox. I put half the box o f Rinso and half the bottle of elorox i n the bucket filled with hot water and place my underwear and socks therein. The directions on the box said to soak for one hour but in order to do a good job I figured I would put the bucket of clothes under my bed for a day or two . Everything was coming along fine until the Lieutenant came through the barracks on an inspection tour and saw the bucket of clothes under my bed. I couldn't explain how the bucket got out of the Mess Hall or why I was doing my laundry during duty hours. The next thing I knew - I was restricted to the Post for a week. Nothing was going to stop me so I started to wash the clothes. I found that the dye had run out of the socks and had got in the underwear and I couldn't get the dye out of the underwear or back in the socks. Therefore, I went up to the Supply Sergeant and signed a statement of charges and got myself some new underwear and socks . Now I'm all washed up trying to wash my own washing . ••••••••••••••• l'roa ea~~~p Ston~, CA I can't tell you where I'm at because the censor wouldn't like it.

While I don't have the accommodations of a Cook's tour, I can see the same scenery that many people pay thousands of dollars to see (ocean and sky). The sleeping quarters are a little crowded and the bunks are so close to each other that many times I wake up with another guy's foot in my face or his knee in my stomach. The latrine is also a little crowded. Traffic is so heavy inside (if you can get in) that it would make a New York traffic cop crazy trying to keep things straight. If you ever have to go, you got to go about an hour before you think you got to go so you will get there in time to go - then it takes about twenty minutes to get from where you go to the wash basin.

We have moved into our new wigwam known as " The Southside Social and society Club, South Pacific Branch , Incorporated. " Believe me it is a masterful piece of architecture in solid mahogany . Our foundation is made of empty gasoline barrels. Our roof is made of empty bomb box tins. We got our lumber from an old torn down latrine. We did steal a few good coards after dark when nobody was looking. Our light sockets are home made out of airplane parts . We also have various pieces of antique furniture made out of shipping boxes picked up at the mess hall. We have a front porch. Our roof don ' t leak (very much) . The entire frame-work of our house is covered with mosquito netting and at a distance the shack appears to be a h uge bird cage with monkeys running around in it . Anyhow its home and it is good to know that we again have a place to call our own . *************** "Spot is a dog - a white dog with one black spot over his right eye . Spot is the mascot of a certain crew who maintained a certain airplane at a certain field in the South Pacific. Spot knew ' his' airplane - the airplane his crew worked on . Spot would ride out on the bus to the field every mo rni ng and would j~p off at the bunker on which his airplane wa s parked. He knew the location of his plane just like a civilian dog would know the location of its home . He stayed by his airplane in all kinds of weath ~r a nd admired the splendid way his crew kept the ship in shape . Not long ago the airplane didn't return from a flight therefore the crew didn't go out to the field . Spot would ride out to the field on the bus as usual every morning and would j ump off at the bunker that had held his plane . For many days that followed I could see Spot standing there, alone, on the empty bunker , waiting for his airplane to come home. ********* ****** �12 I discovered a new animal today. It was a lizard, four feet long, running around in my front yard . The reptile looked like an alligator but it didn ' t have the same disposition. Tt was supposed to be harmless but he didn't look very sociable to me . His skin looked like it would make a good traveling bag but since I wasn ' t going anywhere , I didn ' t try to capture t he thing. He finally ran down i n my fox hole and I a m hoping , in the event I have to use that fox hole some night, that he won ' t be there with d wife and family . Anyhow, I am looking forward to the time when I can get home , where there is nothing to bother me but house flies, bumble bees and ants. **********"***** This is a dehydrated war . Our brea k fast is made ~ t. the mess hall with a powder they mix with water. Out of this mixture comes hot cakes , pan cakes , flat - jacks and wheat cakes and they all taste alike . One gallon of dehydrated potato powder is mixed with water and out comes five gallons of mashed potatoes without mashing them . Th e deh ydrated eggs at the mess hall have a sign on them reading " eggs " because they don ' t look like eggs or taste like eggs. The dehydrated milk turns out to be dark grey a nd putting it in the dehydrated coffee keeps you from getti n g an infection from the stuff. The dehydrated lemonade could be used for b attery acid but we use it mostly for washing our mess kits . If somebody woul d only i n ven t dehydrated whis ke y - that wo u ld be a g reat a contribution to the war effort . Our mail is even dehydrated into v-mail . Yes, everything is dehydrated a r ound here except the weather. *****•*** ... **** I am now a politician. of his tribe . This i~ I was the cau se of a na t i ve being made " chief " how it happened . A certain native J called " Joe'' would come ove r to my shack to visit me and even though he talked very little English , I found out from him much about his life and the customs of his people . These poor devils wor k for ten cents a day. They sign u p for a yea r and are paid in full at the end of their contract . Joe always admired a large knife that I had. This knife was sent to me from home , being one that I had in my collection , hanging on the wall of my bar room. Every time I showed it to Joe a big smile would come over his face, his snow white teeth would shine like pearls, his eyes gleamed with fire and he would say ove r and over , " Nice , T like . Nice, I like! " He would carefully caress the etched figure of a lion on the blade and would gaze for minutes at his image on the shiny steel . One day Joe came ove r to see me . He had five American dollar bills wrapped in an old cloth bag. He offered me the five dollars a nd his war club for my knife. I traded with him and he left my shack the happiest man I ' ve ever looked upon. I followed him over to the native village and there the whole tribe gathered around and made him chief because of his ability to acquire such a wonderful knife. Never would J have thought, when T nailed t hat knife to the wall of my bar at home , that someday it would be the cause of a man bei ng made chief of a native tribe on an island in the south Pacific. **********'***** There are no sheets, no mattresses, no pillows, no sprin gs on my cot but when I lay down to go to s leep I acquire a feeling of comfort and contentment. Sometimes I gaze at the stars shining in the tropical heavens . Other times I l is t e n to the rain beating down on the tin roof. There are no pains , no nerves, no responsibilities, no vain regrets , no anticipation of gatherin g difficulties , no financial problems to disturb my hard earned slumber . I wake up i n the morning and look at the mountains around me . Their lofty peaks �13 remind me of the mountains at home. This is a wonderful place to lead a n easy life but frankly I would not hesitate to accept any opportunity to go back to my civilian life once again. Parts of this area are cove r ed with j ungle vegetation . Enormous tree trunks covered with snake like vines , stra nge flowers and inhabited by screeching parrots tower above the semisolid mass of bamboo , palms, ferns , writhing roots , cree ping lizards and thousands of e n ergetic grasshoppers . There are hellgrammites and spiders to be had o n the island but personally I could do well withou t them, especially after seeing the effects of their bites. Letters, letters , letters- that ' s the only way I have to keep i n t ouc h with t h e old country (the United States) and what a problem ! Letters to my mother must be dignified and cheerful . Letters to my fraternal brothers , the police department and some of the girls I used to go with don ' t have to be so dignified. Letters to the bion s Club must be interesting and to the point. Letters to my attorney, accountant, and manager should express my appreciation for their faithful services even though I ' m wondering if they are on the job . In my letters to my Rabbi , I try to be religious . In my letters to my social club, T try to be a beer drinker and a n e xpert card player . betters to my best girl must be affectionate even though I think she is going out with a couple of sergeants. In my letters to my banker I am optimistic , cautious a nd hopeful. In all my letters I can ' t say anything that would demoralile the people at home because I know they are h aving a tough time with ration poi n ts, whiskey shortages , War Bond Drives and taxes . Finally, I have to please the censor but he has an advantage over you - he can cut out what he don ' t like . Poxes don ' t live in a fox hole . Tt ' s a place we run i n, crawl in , fall in , slide in , scramble in or jump in in event of an air raid . M ack and I got orders to fill in an old one by our shack . Mack is lazy as Hell and since I was getting up in years we decided to get a couple of natives to do the job . Mack went over to the native village and negotiated for the job, using two bucks of mine for payment , which I furnished very reluctantly . When the natives started to fill the hole with dirt , a snake , five feet long , ran out . ack , being a country boy, picked up the snake by its tail and Powers (a M butcher in civilian life) , c hopped his h ead off w1th a n axe before T stopped running. The next thing to come out was a ground rat . One of the natives caught him with his bare hands and killed it before I could stop running. The next things to come out were four centipedes about a foot long apiece. One bite from one of these huge worms and you ~un for t h e dispensary as fast as you can , c ussing your draft board all along the way with words unfit to write. The fox hole is now filled up so guess I ' l l take a nap because I'm tired out from running . From Los Negros-Admiralty Islands Prior to my induction in the army I considered myself a respectable upright citizen of Buncombe County , North Carolina. I was always honest except for a few times during my childhood days when I swiped onions from Mrs . Roberts ' garden , stole an apple from Mr. Book ' s grocery store and helped myself to all the cherries I could eat from a neighbor's cherry tree . My childhood habits started again the other day when I volunteered (by �14 request) to help unload several barges of beer . Even though our secret weapons are not guarded, each barge of beer has armed guards . I found that if I accidentally dropped a case of beer that sometimes several bottles would fall out a~d in gathering up these bottles sometimes they accidentally got inside my shirt and as long as they were inside my shirt, I didn ' t see any reason not to drink them. Do you think I'll go to Hell for this? *************** On this beautiful (to some people) island in the Admiralty Group one can sit under a swaying palm tree (until a coconut falls and bounces off your head) and admire the sun-kissed shores (through sun glasses to keep from going blind). You may breathe deeply of the fresh air (saturated with the smell of stagnant salt water) and gaze at the moon (providing you can see through your mosquito net). In the daytime you can enjoy the cool refreshing rains (if you don't mind getting as wet as a drowned rat). In the evenings it's your privilege to see a new movie featuring William s. Hart or Fatty Arbuckle and go back to your tent knowing you will have a good night ' s sleep (providin g you take sleeping pills). It is thrilling to search the jungle for souvenirs (if you don ' t mind picking up booby traps). If you get the tooth ache you can go to the dentist. If you don't feel like working you can go on sick call. If you get homesick you can go see the chaplain. This is an ideal place to be . ******* ... '**'~~~'***'* Every morning at breakfast time I am greeted by " Porkie ." He is a little pig and a cute little pig at that. He could be part dog because he looks up at me and wags his tail . He could be part wild boar because he pushes me around with his nose . Anyhow in this Godforsaken country I welcome most any kind of a friend and believe me Porkie is my friend because he will let me pet him and feed him. Nobody knows where Porkie came from. Maybe the Japs left him here or maybe he wandered down into the camp from the hills . There have been some suggestions about killing Porkie and roasting him ove r a fire but I don ' t think there is any danger of that happening because we can ' t eat Pork]e and have him too . Sometime ago while I was on a troop transport a warning came over the loud speaker than a Jap battleship and two destroyers had been sighted. I was playing checkers , some other guys were playing cards , some reading. You could hear a number of wise cracks abo u t the situation but nobody seemed to be disturbed. We were all in the same boat and it appeared that regardless of our religious beliefs, political opinions, social or financial standings in civil ian 1 if~, that being in the same boat under these conditions united us in the closest bonds of fellowship. True this war has made soldiers of us but in doing so it has not destroyed that individuality, humor and tolerance we possessed. In my opinion it has cemented firmer in us these necessities of a peaceful democratic society. *************•* (Adapted from an instruction booklet) Suppose you got lost in the jungle. You would have nothing to worry about as far as food is concerned . You may eat, with safety, anything that the monkeys eat and you can even eat the monkeys. They are considered a delicacy by the natives. More than likely you would start your day off with a breakfast of �15 grasshoppers . The legs and wings pulled off , toasted on the end of a stick or fried in coconut oil , they are not at all displeasing to the taste . Of course if you don ' t like grasshoppers you could eat winged ants , or termites particularly the quee n s and t he eggs of ants. For dinner I would suggest roasted rat smothered with lizard tails . Rats are plentiful and have a taste simi l ar to large fruit bats. Lizards are also plentiful and the meat from the hindquarters is preferred . A nice seaweed salad would be appropriate . Strangely enough seaweeds are not very salty and their water content is fairly fresh . In general , the pink, purple and the reddish or green seaweeds are best . For dessert I would recommend water lilies with chopped white grub worms . Supper should be your biggest meal . You eould start out with snake meat sliced like bologna, wild sweet potato chips and fern tips. All snakes are good to eat - even the poisonous ones , if the head is cut off immediately after capture. Your soup could be turtle soup seasoned with bamboo shoots and the buds of palm trees . A salad of bananas and figs would go good if you could find some . Your main course may be porcupine stew or broiled kangaroo steaks with hard boiled bird eggs on the side . Seriously spea king all the items I have mentioned in this letter are edible and you don't need any ration points to get t h em. *** .. **'********* Was just thinking what it would be like to have an Asheville Social Club here. ~o begin with you wouldn't have a modern buildin g like the one at home. It would be a frame buildjng covered with netting or straw. The structu re wouldn ' t need a heating plant because we have an abundance of that here. You wouldn't be able to sell beer. The members would have to drink chlorinated river water and like it. The poker players wouldn't be able to concentrate on their hands as the roar of airplanes overhead would disturb them. You wouldn ' t be able to call a taxi to go home . You would have to walk - maybe in some pretty deep mud . You couldn' t hold a dance as there are no women to dance with . The rummy players would h a ve to be satisfied with old dilapidated cards as new ones are rare. The trustees would h a v e no worries since there is no place to spend any money. There would be one advantage of having the Club here - you guys wouldn ' t have your wives calling you up at 1 AM to come home. **** •* ********* I got caught with my pants down. I went into the latrine this morning to enjoy a good smoke and to read the funnies . Gracefully, I made myself as comfo.r table as possible on the GI equipmen t therein, relaxing and watching the flies, red ants , and lizards playing football, follow-the-leader, and other games on the rafters and walls. Suddenly, I noticed a spider sitting right beside me - not an ordinary one with wire size legs , but one whose size reminded me of the lobsters I used to eat at home, and whose legs reminded me of those of Gloria Swanson. The gruesome and monstrous creature crawled slowly toward me and I had no trouble doing my duty - it scared i t out of me . In order that you might become acquainted with my daily routine here, I am listing activit~es below : 6 AM Wake up . Complain about the heat . Shake my shoes to see if any centipedes are parked inside . Put on my clothes. 6 : 04 AM Think about washing my hands but decide it is too much trouble so I start for chow. 6 :06 AM Look for Porkie (the pet pig) but he don't seem to be around �16 yet. Guess he is still asleep - the lucky hog. 6:15AM After a short argument I get the cook to turn my egg over because I don't like i t half done. 6:35 AM wash my mess ki t and complain about the heat. I 6:40 AM Go back to my tent. decide to postpone the job. Looks like it needs cleaning up but 6:41 AM Lay down on my cot and read a few pages of a wild west story. 7:10AM Complain about the heat. 7:30 AM Climb on a GI truck and ride out to my office at the field . The truck jars so much i t almost shakes my kidneys loose. 7:45 AM Arrive at my office (a tent) and dust off the furniture. I don't have to sweep the f l oor because it is a d~rt f l oor and i t don't do no good to sweep the dirt off of dirt. 8:00 AM Sgt. Lueck comes in singing. Can't imagine why he is singing so early in the morning. I soon find out the reason - he made Staff sergeant on a new rating l i st , 8:05 AM Sgt. Lueck says that I didn't make Corporal on the new list because the squadron is lousy with corporals and some of them will have to die, transfer, go horne or get promoted before I could get another stripe. 8:20 AM Capt. Gardner comes in and offers S/Sgt , bueck congratul ations and me his sympathy. He tells me that he did his best to get me a rating and he thinks he will be able to push me up next time. 9:00 AM Pfc. Runnels comes in and wants to know if I made corporal. When he found out I didn't he suggested I enter a complaint . I explained that I wasn't making the army my career and it didn't make much difference one way or another. 10:00 AM I 11 : 00 AM beave the f i e l d for the camp area in the same kidney- shaking 11:15 AM Arrive at the camp area . do the same thing I did at 7:10AM. truck. 11:20 AM Stop at the PX and since they were sold out of candy, cookies and food; I didn't buy anything . 11:31 AM Thought that I would wash up but I go to chow instead. 11:59 AM Lay down on my cot for my noon time nap. heat and fall asleep. Complain about the 1:30 PM Wake up and jump on the truck goi ng back to the field , 1:45 PM Arrive at the office and i t is so hot I take my shirt off. 1:47 PM The flies, using my back for a landing field, worry me so much that I put my shirt back on. 2:10 PM Some pilot does a buzz job with his plane over my tent and I go out to see if the tops of the coconut trees are still there. �17 3:00 PM I do the same thing I did at 10 AM only twice as much! 4:00 PM My day's work done. T hop on the truck for the camp area. Caught one of the new easy riding trucks with eight wheels and no spring. 4 : 20 PM Went by the mail room for my mail which didn ' t arrive. 4:30 PM Against my better judgement I took a shower. 5 : 00 PM Chow. ~ : 4~ PM Write letters . 7:00 PM Moving picture starts. previous occasions , I go see it again. Since I ' ve seen it on only three 10 : 00 PM Lights out. Discussion of various tepics goes o n between t he members of the tent. The subjects under discussion wi ll be omi t ted for the benefit of any person under eight years of age who might read this. Tn this area we have the Army Air Forces and the United States Navy . 1 am in the Army Air Forces and my old friend , Harry Murdock, former assistant circulation manager of the Asheville Times , is in the Navy. Now, we see each other often, and in order to show how mu~h the Navy will cooperate with the Army, Harry agreed to procure fo r me an item that the Navy has and the Army has not. (The method of obtaining this item will not be revealed at this time.) I had not looked upon one of these luxuries for nine months and when he brought it to me , it was too delightful to describe - too wonderful to believe. It wa s more welcome than an umbrella in the rain, an ice cold drink on a hot day or a fur coat by a chorus girl. There was never such beauty in the mountains of western North Carolina at autumn time - no such glamour in a sunset on the ocean or a bathing beauty content . It was more invigorating than a scotch a nd soda or a banana split. Never before had I bestowed upon me such a gift and now when I go to sleep on that second hand " Navy issue'' mattress , I'll dream of days to come when I can be home again. Dear Mom: When I try to eat this GI food, I think of how I ate at home - it's then I think of you dear mom. When I look at my floor of dirt, I think of how the floors at home were so shiny and clean - it ' s then I think of you dear Mom. When I try to go to bed at night, I think of the soft bed I had at home with clean sheets and clean pillow cases - it ' s then I think of you dear Mom. When I have the toothache and nobody here seem to care - it's then I think of you dear Mom. When buttons come off I try to sew them on - it ' s then I think of you dear Mom. You were my cook, my nurse, my advisor , and my teacher and now when I need one of these - it's then I think of you dear M . om ~-*~** ********* �18 If you should become ill all you would have to do is call the doctor and he usually fixes you up . A sick airplane is a different story . To begin with there is a crew who makes general repairs on the ship. Besides this crew there are propeller specialists, engine specialists, hydraulic specialists, bomb-sight specialists• men who specialize in changing engines; ~adio men who repair the radios, a tire change department, a section that looks after parachutes, life rafts, emergency rations, oxygen bottles and fire extinguishers, a supply department for parts needed, a refuel unit to service the ships with gas and oil• i nstrument specialists, welders, sheet metal men; electrical experts, painters, ordnance men to load bombs, a~ent men to look after the guns, carburetor specialists, guards to guard the planes, a clerical staff to keep the records, inspectors, crew chiefs to supervise the crews, flight chiefs to supervise the crew chiefs and line chiefs to supervise the flight chiefs. Aren't you happy that you do not require as much attention as an airplane to keep you in shape? ................ over here, far away from horne, I think a lot and what do you think I think about? First of all, I think a good deal about my family, my loved ones and my friends I left behind. I also think about Sunset MOuntai n, Pack square, Vance Monument, Morn's cooking, the shiny floors in my house - the green grass in the yard. Happenings that didn't seem important at the time now seem to be great events . I think of the time when I was in the second grade of grammar school and stole an apple from Mr. Book's Grocery Store on ~herry street. I remember the first licking my daddy gave me for throwing a rock at my sister - he shook me so hard that the cuff links fell out of my shirt sleeves and I never could find them. I think about the first time I went fishing and caught a fish. I remember the time I went hunting, killed a deer, and was sor~y that I did it. I think about my golf games at Beaver Lake. I can recall the time I almost had a fight with or. Robinson at a Temple Club meeting. I think of the time I beat John vance in an election for trustee of the Elks Lodge. My fondest memories are of the children around town who called me "Uncle Leo." I think about the Christmas day when I played Santa Claus with the rne.m bers of the Lions Club at the Salvation Army Chapel. I think of the night that I, a bachelor, presided at a Father and Son Banquet at Congregation Beth-HaTephila. I think very little of the materialistic things I left behind. I realize now that the important things in my lifetime - the things that mean the most to me now were just little things, just everyday happenings. Corporal Mark is a great guy and that is why I like to do a favor for him if I can. Well, I am the guy who makes up the detail list and Corporal Mark requested that I put him on the roving guard detail. Now, a roving guard has a comparatively easy job. He gets a jeep, rides around all night and sees that no one steals one of our heavy bombers (weight 60,000 pounds). Corporal Mark is very efficient in his guarding because he goes beyond the usual call of duty and guards, not only the bombers, but the mess hall and other places where food and supplies are stored. ~orporal Mark i s very successful in obtaining various types of edibles while on guard duty and during the early morning hours he and I devour this food with a great deal of pleasure and �19 satisfaction to our a : ways hungry stomachs. Now Corporal Mark is an upright. l and honest fellow and I think he was getting the idea that we weren't justl y entitled to the extra stuff to eat . That idea soon vanished because I told him about the amount of taxes the government was hitting me for while I was over here fighting for world peace so we decided ~hat we could go on procurin g this nourishment without hesitation and with a clean conscience. *************** From Wakde , New Guinea l WfiDDil Go Home Here I am an enlisted ma n , Getting along the best I can , The officers have steak while I eat Spam, I wanna go home. Women I crave there is no doubt , Can ' t have nurses here about , Because the officers take them out , I wanna go home . en like me will get the blues , M No whiskey for us and that ain ' t news , Because the officers get all the booze , I wanna go home . can't can ' t But the I wanna I I get a furlough regulations say, rest and I can ' t play, officers manage to find a way, go home . ********"'**"**'*1r The Engineering Office sent Sergeant Reville and me over to the other side of the field to get a new bomber for our squadron . I sure felt important when the fellow over there asked me to sign a receipt for the ship. Can you imagine Pfc . Finkelstein signing for $250,000 worth of airplane? I assure you i t was less trouble for me to get that airplane than i t would be for you to kiss a bride at a wedding . I climbed up in the pilot ' s cockpit while sergeant Reville hooked his eletrac to the nose wheel of the plane . Now Sergeant Reville can pull these 60,000 pound monsters around the field with his eletrac just like a taby pulls a wagon around the living room and knocks over all the furniture only Sergeant Reville never knocks anything over. He pulled me and the airplane down the taxi strip to our area where I stopped the gasoline truck and said, " Hey Corporal , fill her up. I think she will take about 3000 gallons ." As he was filling it up I recalled the time when I was home on my furlough and needed a little extra gasoline to drive my girl up to my favorite parking place on Beaucatcher Mountain and return home (at a decent hour - of course) . W ell , I went to the rationing board and they would only give me five gallons - the stingy devils. W ish they could see me now getting 3100 gallons. The only trouble over here is that I got no automobile and no girl to drive up a mountain. *************** Thousands of Jnps had landed, Near the land of the rising su~ , On an island in the Pacific, �20 They had nowhere else to run . Now on this tiny island , A good size town was found , The Japs - they took it over , And wandered all around. Our bombers got their orders, And took off on the mission, To save the town if possible , And bomb the Jap position. One bombardier was fearless, And always on the ball , This flight he made a grave mistake, With no excuse at all . He aimed right at the target , He carefully fixed his sight, He missed the Jap position , Hit a house with a big red light. Now when we take t hat island, And give the Japs a trimmin ' , We ' ll still be cussin' the bombardier, Who blew up all the women. It all started when I received one of Finkelstein's $7 . 95 rebuilt watc h es . A guy offered me an old radio and twenty-five dollars in cash for it and I traded. Money is almost useless over here but I managed to give the twenty-five dollars to another guy who gave me a half gallon of home-made drinking beverage which I think was made out of fermented canned corn and 100 octane gasoline. I pooled my half-gallon of imitation "Carolina corn " with a fellow who had a case of beer and we proceeded to drink it all up vut he passed out before we finis h ed and I had ten cans of beer left on my hands as my share of the party. I traded the beer for a pipe , ten packages of tobacco , a pocket knife and a fountain pen. I traded the knife for a flashlight and three cans of beans. I ate the three cans of beans and traded the fountain pen for an electric light socket, a cigarette lighter and two dollars. I invested the two dollars in a crap game, won eight dollars, took the proceeds and bought a radio tube to fix my radio. I traded the radio for a boat which later sank. I traded three packages of tobacco for four cigars and three air mail stamps . I smoked the cigars and used t he three air ma il stamps to write to three friends back in the States requesting from each a box of food. Now, when and if I receive these boxes of food , I will be able to render to you a complete financial statement as to how I came out on the watch. Here in the jungle we don ' t have houses for house flies to live in but we do have house flies. These flies look like the flies at home who have survived the fly swatter , but they don't lead the same kind of life . They follow us wherever we go but they don't follow us to the mess hall because they don ' t like the GI food the mess sergeant slings at us no more than we do . Once in awhile , if a fly gets about half starved , he will fly around the mess hall looking for something to eat. They are persistent devils and they won ' t be shoo'd away like the American flies. During dinner one made eighteen dives at my mess kit before I got him. Many of these brave flies, who dare eat our �21 food , j ust turn over on their backs after the first bite , kick their legs up i n the air and die. It ' s a r o ugh war - even for flies . ************** * The war seems to be getting l onger every day . * ******* ** ***** From Noemfoor Starvin ' Marvin ' s real name is Sgt . Marvin Binion but we call h im Starvin ' Marvin b e cause h e n ever gets enough to eat . In fact none of us get enough to eat - only he complains about it more than we do . Now Starvin ' M arvin h as given e ve rybody in our tent a name . Luke the Droop is really Sgt. Lueck , chief e ngineering clerk. Ed the Red is a crew chief on a n airplane . Herman the German is chief clerk in Tech Supply and Leo the Hero is nobody else but me , an ordinary clerk who is fed up with the setup . Luke the Droop has been overseas thirty months and expects to go back to the States on the " Rotation Plan '' only it hasn ' t rotated far enough to reach him yet . on this account he is very cautious during air raids b ecause he figures he is going home soon and he wa nts to get there in good shape . One night Hoim the Woim (which is a s h ort name for Herman t h e German ) woke us up yelling "Air Raid. " Luke the Droop was dressed and in a fox hole before any of us got out of bed. By the time I put on my shoes and grabbed my clothes everybody was gone including Ed the Red who moves very slowly especially whe n i t comes to doing any work on his airplane . I wa ndered out of the tent , t he moon was shining brightly a nd everything seemed p eaceful to me . It wasn ' t peaceful long and I beat five guy s to a jeep and crawled under it. It was my first air raid experience and now I imagine I ' ll be know as " Foxhole Finkelstein " instead of Leo the Her o . ************k** Written from MOrotai My Helmet M helmet is a useful thing , y To wear upon my head, It ' s made of good materials , And feels almost like lead . My helmet makes a wash bowl , I can use it any place, I fill it up with water, And wash my hands and face . M fox hole roof is awful low, y I can ' t stdnd up in there, So I put my helmet on the floor , And use it for a chair. Now if I want a basket , To hang down from my bunk , It sure does make a lovely thing, To hold all kinds of junk . �22 Now if I ' m sentimental , For flowers and that r ot , I fill it up with good old djrt, And I got a flower pot. Now if I want to take a n ap, Beneath a weeping willow, I place it down upon the ground, And use it for a pillow . Now when I ligh t a candle , And n eed a candlestick, I turn t he h e lmet upside down, It al wa ys does t he tric k. Now whe n my socks get dirty, And the odor isn ' t right , T fill the t hing with soapy water, And let them soa k all night.

He found his gal, Did not feel fit , She had a cold, That wouldn ' t quit. And every time , That she would cough, The jungle snake , Would get hissed off. Master Sergeant Johnson and I started the evening off by opening a can of salmon and e nded up by opening a gold mine or at least we pla nned to open one after the war. Sergeant Johnson , after looking at the label on the above mentioned salmon can , told me that he was once foreman of the cannery in Alaska that canned this particular can of salmon. He insisted on telling me about the different species of salmon, the white salmon, the pink salmon and ! forgot the other colors he mentioned. Anyway I wasn ' t interested in the colors of salmon in Alaska because I was hungry and the only salmon I was interested in at that particular time was the salmon in the can. In order to be sure we wou ldn ' t get poison ed by the salmon , we took several shots of Jungle Juice before and after eating the fish. For your information Jungle Juice is made of 190 proof medical alcohol , colored and flavored with burnt sugar and diluted with a small quantity of water. Jungle Juice seems to build up conversation and t h e conversation drifted all around Alaska . W fi nally got on the subject of gold and gold mines . e According to what Sgt. John son said , he h ad done a goodly amount of gold hunting in Alaska and was well versed in mineralogy. W figured we could buy e a seaplane after the war from the Navy at a fraction of the original cost , fly to Alaska , land on the many inaccessible lakes , pan th~ir shores for gold and get rich quick (if the income tax man don ' t find us). I have written all my friends back home offering to sell t h em stock in t h e Finkelstein-Johnson F.xpedition to Alaska. Smoky Joe ' s home is just a little bit south of Asheville , North Carolina. He is one of the cooks down at our Mess Hall , a good guy, and a GI who can sympathize with all the other GTs who have to eat the food he prepares . Before the war Smoky Joe owned a road house on the highway going south from Asheville , and, after talking with him I found that I had patronized his institution on numerous occasions during my youn ger yea r s . Sin ce we were practically neighbors in civilian life , we felt that we should continue over here as good ~eighbors and so we are. There is no better friend in the Army than a cook because when you get hungry - he is the only man who can hel p you out . Tn passing , r might mention that Smoky Joe, Starvin' Marvin and I have on numerous instances enjoyed eatin g s urplus stocks of food from the M ess Hall . Smoky Joe told me about Sheriff Brown taking his automobile away f rom him once because the She riff had found some whiskey in it t h at he (Smoky) was �25 transporting to his road house. Now, Smoky is fighting to get his freedom his freedom to go home and dodge the Sheriff some more, and there is Starvin' Marvin whe wan~s te go heme ~o see his wife and two year old boy; a ehiid that he has never seen, and so it is with me - I want to go home - I just want to go home . ................ rraa s-r; Phi.l.ipp:lna za. Less than twenty four hours after we landed here we found it - a path that wound its way through the jungle to a dance hall. Now I have danced in New York night clubs, patronized dine and dance places in Mexico, attended parties in exclusive social clubs in Havana, and participated in barn dances in the hills of North Carolina but never have I witnessed a set-up like this one. The dance hall was a native hut with a grass roof and a wood floor. The admission price two pesos. The band consisting of a saxophone, banjo and drum played familiar tunes like "Johnnie Get Your Gun" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band." Seated around the dance floor were several Filipino girls in their recently washed dresses. It was your privilege to dance with them but before doing so you had to remove your shoes and place them under the girl's chair. GI shoes are dangerous weapons, while jitter-bugging with these fair (slightly dark) bare-footed girls and it is while dancing in your socks that you get the true meaning of "socks appeal". *************** I made corporal but: 1. It was easier for me to date a New York chorus girl. 2. I expended less energy in climbing to the top of Mt. Mitchell. 3. I had fewer headaches going through the depression of 1933. 4. It was less trouble to figure out my 1942 income tax return. 5. course. 6. It took a smaller amount of skill to break a hundred on the golf It took less will power to stay sober on New Year's Eve. (I expect to make Sergeant during World War III.) ************** Since Finkelstein, Silverstein and Stein live in tent 99 anything is li.a ble to happen. We play. We play gin rummy almost every night and I do not hesitate to take Stein and Silverstein on in any gambling activity that might be beneficial to my financial status. I am glad to take their pesos as both smoke my cigars without any offer of payment for same. Silverstein talked so much that the CO made him news commentator for our radio station. Stein's old man manufactures shirts in New York City and his son, a chip off of the old Stein, tries to take the shirt off the back of everybody he does any trading with. So with the oratorical ability of Silverstein, the progressive attitude of Stein and my Finkelstein knowledge of big business, we procured ten gallons of ice cream at a cost of 8 3/10 cents per gallon. It may interest you to know that the market price of ice cream on this island is $7 per g.allon. I will relate to you with brevity just how this trade was made. I received from Finkelstein's an item of merchandise retail value $9.75. Stein and Silverstein, under my supervision, traded this item for the ten gallons of �26 ice cream. Off hand it would seem that the cost of the ice cream would be 97 ~ center per gallon but that is not true. I do not expect to pay Finkelstein's Inc. for this item of merchandise, and as a stockholder in said corporation I have instructed them to charge the account off as a loss. They will not lose the $9.75 as the wholesale cost is less than this amount and furthermore they can deduct the loss from their income tax returns. After much scientific calculation I ti nd that my stock i n Finkelstein's Inc . has decreased in value 83 cents therefore the cost of the ice cream to me was 8 3/10 cents per gallon . ***** ... ***'**'**** Assorted Duties : chopping down trees digging a well hauling poles hauling fire wood hauling coal fighting forest fires sorti ng merchandise at warehouse sorting salvage merchandise smashing tin cans h auling water finance clerk detail clerk runner for headquarters stacking lumber pulling weeds and grass cleaning barracks watering trees loading and unloading trucks loading and unloading freight cars loading barracks bags on boats and trucks cleaning hatches on boats latrine orderly painting machinery communications clerk engineering clerk �~ 21 Editor' s Note: At the end of his tour of duty, Leo Finkelstein returned home to Asheville, North Carolina to resume management of Finkelstein's Pawn Shop.
