 Transfer was ordered made from Undivided Profits to the Surplus Accounts of $18,50O, making it $2O,OOO. A dividend of 5 per cent was also declared. This is an unusual record in be- ing able to transfer such a sub- stantial amount to surplus, pay dividends, retain nearly $5000 in Undivided Profits, and with a reserve of nearly $l2,000 since March 4, 1949.

STRUTIING. TOO

But now he wasn't walking He
was standing and he was strut
ting, If you can imagine il because
he was a little sore. He wasn't so
sore that he had been assigned
10 recruiting duty though he had
never liked H.
After four years in the marines
he felt toward his service much as
does the member OF an exclusive
club.
He was for closing enliStments
except 10 those lucky few who
after begging for a chance made
good in boot camp and went out
10 take over the world.
With his mind, he saw that the
requirements of A globular war
demanded that the marines OK
pand. But his esprit de corps
would not understand II.
Why should the marines open
their ranks 10 any but physically
and spiritually perfect specimens g?
Why should they have 10 20 out

II was after s. BOYS and girls
were coming to town from the
country within a radius Of 80
miles.
The girls were pretty and
huNom. The boys were husky.
Red looked the boys over and
lodged the admiring eyes of the
ladies.
Not that he was averse TO
ladies but right now he was on
business.
Some OF those boys, he knew,
would make good marines. They
had the frames to take il. a lot
of them had experience on farms
and along the river that would
make boot camp seem like a
strenuous picnic.
But he knew from three days
in Fair Falls that most of them
weren't interested IN the marines
or boot camp or the war.
There was a county fair going
on. The midway was about two
miles north OF the town. As dark
ness settled, the boys and the girls
piled into automobiles and de-
parted for it.
Red looked after them Not
one invited hm TO GO along. He
couldn't understand II.

any one, though he had good rea-

ride from Pete Virgil. who had
been cook with the l33d Infantry

FOR listening 10 Pete Ten how
hard IL was TO cook in mobile
Kitchens under Hun fire, he was
set down at last on the midway.
STROLLS ON MIDWAY
The midway cleaned an d
.tnkied with lights. The murmur
of the milling crowds formed an
undertone 70 the harsh cries of
? tire markers, the WINES OF chill
dren, the laughter of girls.
II was a scene 10 gladden. the
