Marines and Seabees at this Second Marine Air Wing base are enjoying this luxury. And the laundry is operated by Okinawan women, who have learned that their new-fangled washing ma chine is far superior to the old fashioned method of beating out clothes on a rock. The mixer, useless for its in tended purpose after prolonged service, requires alterations when converted. These were taken care of by Seabee machinists and Ma rine transportation men. For in stance : Blades of the mixer were re moved and were replaced by six two-by-four bumpers. When the mixer rotates, the clothes hit against the bumpers as they do in most washers used by American housewives. One side of the mixer had to be sealed. This was done by welding an oil drum top in place. To keep the other side watertight, the port into which the clothes are stuffed was fitted with a steel door, the gasket of which was made from the rubber lining of a Jap plane's fuel tank. The door is locked with the screw of an anti-aircraft gun. To keep the washing machine filled with hot water, two 90mm. shell casings were welded to gether and fitted inside an oil drum. Heat from a fire under the drum rises through the casings, and water in the drum can be kept at any temperature desired. A piece of hose attached to the out let valve is used to fill the wash ing machine and rinsing tubes. These tubs are oil drums, halved lengthwise. Women employed in the lanu ing machine and rinsing tubs, ernment here. Besides, they are given small gifts such as soap with which to do their own laun dry. They wouldn't think of tak ing advantage of their jobs by us ing the lanudry's soap to do work for themselves. All white clothes, after being removed from the machine, are scrubbed by the women and given several rinsings before being hung in the sun to dry. Once dried, the clothes are sort ed according to markings, then tied in bundles. li!SBIIB!MI! AMES'IPAlRTSr Tuesday, February 12, 8:00 P. M. HOLY ROSARY CHURCH PARISH HALL Sponsored By Y. M. P.
