Harvey w. Kirschbaum, a trainee
at the Ordnance Replacement Tram
ing Center, Aberdeen Proving
Ground, Md, and formerly resi-
dent of Troy, Mont, was recently
honored by receiving an expert
medal, the highest award given by
the Arm, in rifle craftsmanship.
The Ordnance soldier is primar-
lily trained as technician. However
much emphasis is placed on rifle
instruction. This training will prove
extremely valuable in the field. On
many occasions, the soldiers life
may depend on his ability as a
rifleman. Consequently, one third
of the basic training period is spent
in developing this skill.
Before the men are taken to the
range for actual firing, they must
spend some time in intensive pre-
liminary instruction. Here they are
taught the care and cleaning of the
rifle, proper use of the sling, trig-
ger, sights and other essential parts
They are put through a series Of
calisthenic drills TO timber up the
muscles that are used III assuming
the various firing positions. After
they have been schooled in all these
details, they are sent to the range
where they must fire for record.
Harvey w Kirschbaum is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs Harvey E. Kirsch-
baum, living al Route 2. Troy, Mont
Mrs. Oscar Carter received word
recently that her son, Private Dan
lei G. Combest, who is at Camp

Nazi Paroehutists
Fare Bodily in Bottle

"Tarzan Triumphs," first of new
series of films produced by Sol Les
scr and starring Johnny Weisstffttll-
Ter, far surpasses its predecessors
from the standpoint of thrills, ro-
nance, and human interest.
In "Tarzan Triumphs," coming to
the Kootenai theatre Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, July s, 8, and 10,
Weissmuller has two novel expert
ences. First he counters the dan
gers Of modern warfare, and sec
ondly he has a new leading lady,
lovely Frances Clifford, who por-
trays "Zandra," a beautiful jungle
queen. She interprets the part with
amazing ease and provides par
ticular eyeful for male audiences.
Meeting with his usual jungle haz-
ards, Tarzan gets an additional taste
of danger when he witnesses the in
vasion of his African realm by Ger
man parachute troopers. His first
reaction is that of an isolationist,
but it changes quickly when ne is
persuaded by Zandra and his own
son that such policy does not pay.
Chmaxes are plentiful when Tarzan
actually goes on the warpath.
Weissmuller is at his best in
