Purchasers are urged not to use more

better to tear our an 8-point and a

American armored division, Cpl. Don
aid L. Smith has been graduated from
the gunnery department of the ar
mored force school at Fort Knox, KY.
During their concentrated four
week course, Corporal Smith studied
weapons ranging in size from the
Thompson sub-machine gun, or Tom
my gun, which soldied can sling on
a bouncing military MOTORCYCLE, to the
large caliber cannon.
These cannon are fired first indoors
with Sub-caliber ammunition, which
not only trains man as carefully as
does the higher caliber, but also saves
the taxpayers money. During this per-
iod the men fire from "wobble plates"
which cleverly simulate the sway of
tank afield.
During the final two weeks of the
course the "armoraiderS" are on an
outdoor range, firing at both station

tanks.

also learn how to fight in the desert.

Corps pilot from Seattle, shot down
seven japanese dive bombers-a rec

A detailed account of 1t. SWEET S
exploit was contained in official re-

With his ammunition gone, his

fighter through machine gun fire
from American shore batteries to
make a landing on the water. He
was rescued from the sea and treated
