Mississippi Rain Is Not Like Hawaii Rain
From Hattiesburg American July 3, 1943
Sgt. Geo. H. Katada and Pvt. Harry H. Kanada of Honolulu, Pvt. Hiroshi Torii of Maui, and Pvt. Rodney Miyamoto of Hilo, are four of the Japanese-Americans who like their 80 degrees of Hawaii, and were wondering how much rain our showers would amount to. Their rain is much different from ours, they declare. However, they are enjoying their new experiences, even of the weather. One was most appreciative of a recent entertainment tendered them by some people of Hattiesburg.

The Hattiesburg American was founded in 1897 as a weekly newspaper, the Hattiesburg Progress.[2] In 1907, the Hattiesburg Progress was acquired by The Hattiesburg Daily News. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, the newspaper was renamed the Hattiesburg American.
The Hattiesburg American was purchased by the Harmon family in the 1920s and was sold to the Hederman family in 1960.[2] Gannett acquired the newspaper in 1982.
