HE EXEMPLIFIEs FAME

How the leathernecks have be-
come known as foremost protec-
tors of American liberty can be
exemplified by Platoon Sgt
Charles Robson of the Detroit
Recruiting office.
He is cited not because he Is
exceptional, but because he is an
average marine. who believes life
at its best can be found only
with the Devil Dogs.
A former cab driver, Robson
enlisted in Los Angeles in 1913
beginning a career that reads like
a world atlas. He served in the
Philippines, stood guard over the
American legation at Peking
helped put down native uprisings
throughout China, maneuvered
through the seven seas and saw
service on nearly every American
outpost in them.

father, young Robson fulfilled the
veteran sergeant's hopes when he
became a marine in Detroit last
March.
Obviously not too satisfied with
the inactivity of sitting in a re-
cruiting chair, the 180-pound,
tanned Robson explained with a
restrained flicker of emotion the
marines reverence for their serv-
ice:
"a marine IL taught TO take
care Of himself and his buddies.
He's trained TO fight to the last
man without whimpering or
calling for help.

And a Surprise
As To Sergeant Overton, he's
going to get one thing he GER
tainly didn't expect. Up In Bir-
mingham, a Mrs. Hutton, who
said she was a widow and 10
years old, sent half n dozen
leaves and n twig Of bittersweet
tucked between the pages Of q
Bible.
She didn't send any sermons
with it. No self-righteous de-
mands that he read the Bible,
unless he wanted to.
Anyway, il gives me the cour-
age to quote a part that I like.
I don't know as a newspaper is
the place for Bible quotations,
but I guess il won't hurt, either.
It's from Ecclesiastes, the
book that takes the world as IL
II, and breaches moderation.
even In religion I. e.. 7:16, BE
not righteous over much; neither
make thyself over wise ~:

ORIGINAL CoMMANDos

Refusing TO be specific on his
own exploits, Robson contended
that marines were the original
Commands.
OF his wife. who has spent many
of their married years waiting for
her husband to return to "the
states" Robson said with all the
affection his gruff voice could
muster:
"She's n better marine than
I am" NN
With that. the typical warrior
of the amphibian forces took a
hitch on his pants. heaved a sigh
of retrospect and returned to his
recruiting duties.
