been wandering around the ma
rine recruit training station at
Paris Island. S. G., and no one
there is overlooking the value Of
basic drill training. It's right
face, left-face. about-face from
dawn TO dusk for the newcomers.
The result is that by the time
they finish their seven-weeks
hurry-up primary training they
know how 10 obey orders and
they've. learned the first big lesson
all soldiers have TO learn--to do
what you're told and do it right
and fast.
The marine corps is turning raw
material into military men fast
and it's doing the job well. just
because IL hasn't been overim-
pressed with the idea that mech
anization has taken the place OF
teaching men how 10 do what
they're told.
DefenSeslang: the marines. IN
cidentally, aren't so fond these
days of the name leathernecks
that they hung on themselves way
back before the first World War
The sailors still call themselves
gobs and the soldiers have changed
their name from doughboys TO
dogfaces for reasons best known
10 themselves.
But the marines have gone back
TO an old appelation-gyrenes-i
place Of the leatherneck tag. II
you really want TO please a marine
call him a gyrene and watch the
smile.
England is the big expert at ball
loon barrages but this country is
beginning TO learn and the marine
corps is doing a lot of the ground
work. The marines are getting
ready TO protect those outlying
bases (the ones we have now and
the ones we may have tomorrow
against dive bombers, and for that
purpose they are working overtime
training men how 10 operate bar
rage balloons.
The marine corps belongs 10 the
navy but il gets its barrage bal
looms from the army and if the
soldier service isn't careful its go
ing 10 have TO come around to
the marines for instructions on
balloons.
The reason Is that the-marines,
realizing the Importance OF this
particular type of defense, have
put some OF its very best men on
this work. If you hear in the next
few months of Axis planes crash
ing on American outposts, you
may safely assume that they ran
into the steel cables of barrage
balloons hoisted there by the
United State Marines.

Whether or not blackout Is

A mattress under table

The enemy may use explosive
