sSe'cAif, COULD De the motto OF
the marines.
Marines Human
Under Hard Crust
Marines may be killers, but they
are also just as sentimental as any,
body else.
There is one pleasant boy in our
company that I had talked with
out didn't have any little incident
to write about him, so didn't put
his name down. The morning I left
the company and was saying good
Dy all around, I could sense that
he wanted to tell me something,
50 I hung around until it came
out. 1t was about his daughter.
This marine was Corp. Robert
kingan Of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. He
mas been a marine for Is months
and over here IL months. His
daughter was born about six weeks
ago. Naturally he has never seen
her but he's had a letter from her!
1t was a v letter written in a
childish scrawl and said: Hello,
Daddy. ] am Karen Louise. was
born February Is at four minutes
after nine. weigh five pounds and
eight ounces. Your daughter,
Karen"
And then there was P.S. on the
bottom which said:
Postmaster - Please rush. NV
daddy doesn't know I am here"
Bob didn't know whether 1t was
actually his wife or his mother-in-
law who wrote the letter. He thinks
maybe 1t as his mother-in-law-
Mrs. A H. Morgan-since 1t had
her return address on it.
So I put that down and then
asked Bob what his mother-in-law's
first name was. He looked off into
space for a moment. and then
started laughing.
= II don't know what her first
name is he said, At always Just
! called her Mrs. Morganl"

Use Indians For Sending

A good many Of the Okinawan
civilians. while wandering along the
roadside, bow lew to every Amer
lean they meet. Whether this is
from fear or native courtesy I do
not know, but anyhow they do it.
And the Americans being Ameri-
cans usually bow right back.
One of the marines I know got
mixed up in one of these little
bowling incidents the other day. He
Is Pfc. Roy Sellers, a machine gun
ner from Amelia, Ohio.
Roy is married and has a little
girl two years old. He used to be
machinist at the Cincinnati Mill
ing Machine company. He played
semipro bali too.
When Roy has a beard he looks
just like a tramp in a stage play.
He is only q, but looks much
older. In fact he goes by the nick
name "Old Man"
Well. one day Old Man was try
ing to ride japanese bicycle
along the bank of a little river
where we camped. The ground was
rough and the bicycle had only
one pedal and Roy was having
struggle to keep his bike upright.
Just then an old Okinawan, bare
headed and dressed in a black XII
mona and carrying a dirty sack,
walked through our little camp. He
wasn't supposed to be at large but
it was none Of our business and
We didn't modest him.
He was bowling to everyone, right
and left, as he passed. Then he met
Machine Gunner Sellers on his one
pedaled bicycle. Roy was already
having his troubles.
AS he came abreast of the Oki-
nawan, Roy bowed deeply over the
handle bars, hit a nut, lost his bal
ance and over he went. The Okina-
wan, with Oriental inscrutability.
returned the bow and never looked
back.
We all laughed our heads off.
Who's bowling to whom around
here?" we asked. Roy denied he
had bowed first. But we knew bet
ter. After that he decided to give
his old bicycle away to somebody
less polite than himself.

Now I've seen my first Jap SOL
diers in their native State-that is,
before capture. But not for long,
because the boys of my company
captured them quicker than a wink.
One Jap was small, and about
30 years old. The other was Just a
kid Of 16 or II, but good-sized and
well built. The kid had the rank
Of superior private and the other
was corporal. They were real jap
anese from their homeland Of ia
pan. 4
They were both trembling all
over. The kids face turned sickly
white. Their hands shook. The mus.
cles in the corporal's jaw were
twitching. The kid was so para
lyzed he couldn't even understand
sign language.
We don't know why those two
Japs didn't fight. They had good
rifles and potato-masher grenades.

MILWAUKEE, WIS-An ingenious man recently visited the
North Woods, which he had left SO years ago, and found that the
nmberiacks were handling pulpwood the same old way, by hand. He
began to figure out ways to spee'-up the work of getting out raw
materials so desperately needed for making paper. His solution was
tery simple and the new equipment operates similar to a mans arms
when loading wood.
Two mechanical arms are pushed into the pulpwood. The top arm
somes down clamping the wood to the two lower arms. The entire
mechanism is then tilted back, lifting the two arms under the wood
10 a As degree angle. The tractor backs away from the pile, lowers
the load onto two runners, which are pushed along to the place OF
proper spot and loaded or dumped. The equipment is hydraulically
operated. Photo above shows the new type of loading equipment. The
inventor is E. A. Drott. president of the Drott Tractor Company and
the Hi-Way Service Corp, here, and an outstanding contributor to
the war effort.

One of the Gridley Flying Ser

crop busting company in Marshall,
Michigan. to be used in busting
mint, onions, and potatoes. The
mint plant is especially susceptible
- fungus and has TO be busted at
the proper time or the crop suffers
considerable damage. Plane dust.
ing has been found to be the most
profitable as It enables a large
area to be covered in a short time.
The plane will be converted at a
Chicago shop and the hopper will
be placed in the forepart OF the
cockpit. In busting crops OF this
kind, the plane is flown very close
to the ground, Just over the top of
the plants, and the action OF the
propeller forces the chemical over
the plants and into the ground so
that the fungus on the plants as
well as insects on the ground are
destroyed. A different chemical is
