Jacksonville Register-Pa iaronian)
Americans have been shocked and an
gered by recent press dispatches report
ing that allied airmen forced down while
on flights over German territory have
been threatened and abused by enemy
civilians.
If these reports are verified, they Will
constitute Just one more count in the in
dictment against the axis for which JUS
tice must later be eXacted.
More pleasant is the news that comes
from exchanged prisoners, now reaching
England, that in the German prison
camps our men have been given fairly
decent treatment by their captors.
Still more pleasant are their enthuS-
iastic reports of what the War Prison
ers Aid of the YMCA and Red Cross
have been able to do for them during
the terms of their Imprisonment.
These two organizations function under
terms of the Geneva convention of 1929,
signed at that time by AZ nations, and
providing for the human treatment of
prisoners OF war. The Red Cross furn-
ishes the men supplementary food and
clothing which they deeply appreciate,
carries on inspections of the camps, and
handles all correspondence with the pris-
onerS.
IT Is lne JOD OF the war PRISONERS Ala
to provide for the educational, recreation
al, and religious needs of these men be-
hind the barbed wire. With the help of
talented prisoners, scientists, athletes,
engineers, doctors, etc, all sorts of class
es, sports events, and religious services
are directed. Diaries, albums, notebooks,
books, athletic equipment, musical instru-
mentS, and other such effects are fur
nished. Trade schools are conducted
Hobbies are developed Music is promot-
ed. Libraries are made available. Relig-
lous services are conducted, and so are
all sorts of sports programs.
All this is of direct interest to Paiaro
valley residents: first, because some OF
our valley men are prisoners in those
enemy camps and others will probaDl.
find their way there in greater numbers
second, because the Watsonville and Pa
jaro Valley Community War Chest was
one of the firSt-if not the first-to meet
its state and national quota in the Ma
tional War Fund campaign now unG ~
way in most communities.
Drawing on the funds subscribed last
fall when over 100000 was raised for
our War chest, officials We're able t.
send in a check for $4,000 on the open

IN EVERY WAR

Still another detachment of marines
fought on the vessels seeking control of
Lake Champlain. Thus, from the very
beginning, marines exhibited their versa
tility. Since those early days the mar
ines have fought on land, sea and in the
air, in every war-declared or undeclar-
ed-in which the United States found
itself involved, from the Barbary Coast
to Korea, from Sumatra to Panama.
Although the marine corps air arm
dates back only from World War |, when
a squadron of marine pilots hunted for
German U-boats in the waters of the
Azores, it is now powerful arm of the
United States aerial forces. The leading
American ace of the current conflict is
a marine, Major Joseph Foss, with 26
Jap planes to his credit. Of fifty-five
Congressional Medals of Honor awarded
in World War II, the Leathernecks have
received 13, or about twenty five percent,
though they represent only five percent
of the armed forces of the United States.
This is the first war in which marines
have expanded into sizeable fighting
unit, with specialties like the army and
navy. Basically, however, the marine,
whether he be a motor transport mech
anic or a recruiting sergeant, knows how
to shoot, how to drill, how to take orders
and how to maintain discipline. Whether
he is combat correspondent or an inter-
prefer, he is marine first. His speciality
comes second.
The same is true Of the women's re-
serve Of the marine corps. Experts in 50
fields of endeavor, from stenography to
parachute-packing these women are
marines first.
The history of the marine corps is the
history of the United States, for the
Corps has always been in the forefront

|. V. RESIDENTS PAUSE
TO SALUTE MARINES

Wednesday is the 168th birthday of
the United States marine corps.
Until World War II came along con-
tact Of these American land. sea and air
warriors by Imperial Valley residents
had been mainly through the newspapers.
Then came the establishment of two
large marine bases in the valley.
The marines captured the valley with
out firing a shot. Their victory was as
complete as any they attained at Chateau
-Thierry in the first great war, Guadal-
canal earlier in this war or on Bougain-
vile where they are now fighting to
clear the way to Japan.
Within the space of two years they
have become an integral part of the COM
munities.
1t is therefore fitting that civilian resi-
dents OF this area should help the mar
ines celebrate
Throughout its long history, the corps
has been utilized to settle disputes more
often with diplomacy than arms, to po-
lice agitateds areas. to administer every
thing from finances to elections, to bring
relief to sufferers from earthquakes, ty-
phoons, fires and other disasters.
Founded as groun of professional
soldiers, by authority of the Continental
Congress in Philadelphia, the marine
corps mas o1Jen Deen compared with those
other two great professional forces: the
Northwest Mounted Police of Canada
and the Freign Legion of France. These
two latter services have also become
famous as pacifying agencies, very much
like the marine corps.
1t was on November 10, ITS, that Rob-
bert Mullan, proprietor of Tun's Tavern
in Phi adelphia was authorized to recruit
the Continental Marines. Two full bat
talions were to be raised for service on
land and sea.
Immediately afterward, one group of
marines fought with General Washing
ton at Trenton, while another group
Joined Commodore Esek Hopkins of the
Continental Navy. This detachment of
marines was responsible for the first
commando raid in American history: on
the Bahamas.

A mild war scare was reported

soaring and Well-to-do inhabitants

Alarm was said to have spread
through the Axis satellite capitals
of Budapest, Sofia and Bucharest,
whose press praised Turkeys neu-
trality and insisted Turkey would
have everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by retaining that status.
The concern in the Balkans over
Turkeys future role was believed
based more on the possibility that
they will lose the last neutral on

depending to make contact with the
Allies for peace negotiations than
ON the fear that Turkeys entry
