Marine Corps Marks
It's It'd Birthday by
Recruiting Drive

The Marine Corps today was
celebrating its 172d birthday-and
preparing for an intensive new drive
to enlist young men in its reserve
organizations.
Various units will gather tonight
at their installations and in clubs
and hotels to cut birthday cakes,
dance and reminisce.
The Fifth Marine Infantry Re-
serve Battalion here will hold a
ball in it's armory, 230 c street NV.
1t. Col John E. Fondahl, command
ing officer, will cut the cake with
his saber.
Commissioners Proclaim Day.
Other celebrations will be held at
the Hotel 2400, National Airport ter
race ballroom, the Army and Navy
Club and Henderson Hall, Marine
Corps headquarters, Arlington.
The District Commissioners have
recognized the day in proclama-
ton calling on "all citizens to re-
dedicate themselves to the patriotic
ideals which Marines have pledged
themselves to maintain"
Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift,
Marine Corps commandant, sent
message of greeting to be read at
installations all over the area. In
it, he recalled that many OF the
landings made by units of the corps
occurred in "times of relative peace"
and commented:
Thus, it is our tradition to be
prepared in either war or peace,
since we have found that peace must
often be enforced"
Amphibious Forces Revised.
He cited Marine Corps leadership
in the development of amphlbious
warfare during World War II, and
added:
Again today, we, are actively re-
vising and recognizing our am
phibious forces to take advantage
of new weapons and new tactics"
Meanwhile, Marine Reserve Off
cials announced Watson B. Miller,
Commissioner of immigration and
Naturalization, had accepted ap-
pointment as general chairman of
the Citizens Committee for the
Marine Corps Reserve enrolment
drive in the Washington area.
Battalion Seeks Recruits.
The Board of Trade will be repre-
sented on the committee by its pres
ident, John A. Reilly, and the Com
missioners will serve on an advisory
group, it was added.
The District aspect of the drive
for 100000 additional Reservists will
be concerned with increasing the
strength of the 5th Battalion.
1t was recalled this unit had a
historic role in World War II, when
it participated in the Guadalcanal
action as part of the 1st Marine Di-
vision.
Enlistments are being accepted at
the battalion armory, 1400 Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV, and by recruit
ing officers elsewhere in the city.

"Her hands and feet were cold

Bill. Lucy noticed that her hus-
bands smile had faded-how grim
his face was. And then, at each
psychological moment. he rallied
and evened the score. Why, Lucy
asked herself, did Juniors flashy,
pressing play weaken? Why didn't
he drive his advantage home when
he had the game and set practically
won?
THE heavy. significant silence
Il broken only by the click of the
bouncing celluloid ball and the gal
lery's strained. anxious breathing
ended in scream of sudden Joy.
"Game and set!" Bill threw down
the rubber-faced paddle and let out
a shout of laughter.
The children, swarmed enthusias-
tically over him. This, Lucy knew,
was her husbands usual moment.
Her smile was small and cryptic
when she began rounding up her
brood, sending them off to bed. Bill
shook hands with his oldest son and
switched the lights off.
Guess the champ can't be beat
en-" young Bill said huskily.
Arizona sun., 1947-10-31

Later, Lucy went from room "a
room making sure windows were
not open too wide, that blankets
were over small. hunched shoulders,
doors properly closed. The dark lay
thick in the room Bill Junior shared
with Calvin. She heard someone
move when she went In on quiet
feet.
That you, mother?"
She sat down on the edge of the
bed. Her sons hand slipped into
hers.
"A good game. Bill" She squeezed
his fingers before she released them.

win"
He drew a deep. long breath.
"So'm /. Pops tough. Got to be
awful good to take him."
II suppose So" Her voice was
low. fat. Goodnight. dear"
After she quietly closed the door
and her footsteps dwindled down the
hall, Bill Junior raised himself on
one arm.

twanged as he turned over. yeah,

JUST KEEP BUSY

JUST KEEP BUSY
When he started in business for
himself, in field which was over
crowded and harsh, a friend of mine
ran into high stone walls of discour-
agement. Often he was ready to
quit. Why keep on trying? he would
ask himself. There didn't seem to
be much ahead but failure.
II would go home night after
night perfectly willing to call it
quits with life." he told me. Three
times wondered if it wouldn't be
better to end it ALL"
His wife advised him to see the
family physician, and the physician
recommended psychiatrist. The
examination lasted three days, but
can give you the gist of his recon-
mendation in three words: "Just
keep busy"
The psychiatrist's explanation ran
like this: 1.-THE end of life is not
thought. It is action. We are made
for action. That we may move and
act we have marvellous system of
muscles, nerves, senses; all de-
signed for action, for doing some
thing.
'The mind responds gleefully to
the active life, and happiness con-
sists. in the end, of action. action.
action.
Happiness depends upon what
you do, not upon what you have, not
upon what you think-but upon what
you do"
I have observed many times that
the most interesting personalities
are not those of the lounge lizards
or the do-nothings. They are the per-
sonalities which have been stamped
definitely in the forge of action.
The minute this friend of mine be-
gan taking the advice literally, he
began developing happy outlook
on life, began making good in his
business.
l am glad to report that today he
is in a thriving way, completely
happy and well adjusted to his
world. He has made good-because
he kept busy.
My friend added some facets to
the jewel the psychiatrist gave him.
He began letting part Of his action
take the form Of service to others
which further added to his happi.
ness.
When black discouragement would
come to him, he would think OF
something he could do for someone
else.
A cripple In the block didn't get
out much. He'd take him for ride.
He'd make kites for the kids who
lived near by. He'd 60 on errands
for his wife. Anything of action and
service-that was his field.
There emerged from his discipline
something fine in the way Of a hu-
man personality and character, and
! am not so sure but that this is one
of the most vital personality lessons
any one Of us can possibly learn
''just keep busy"

MFICTION NcoRMER
GOOD loser
By G. S. MONTAYNE

IT UCY AMES could always tell
~ when her husband drove In by
the children's uproarious welcome.
They were crowding down to the
garage now-Bill Junior, Calvin,
Cynthia, Paula and Roger, aged 8.
Lucy heard their shrill, excited cries
and, after a minute. Bills hearty,
roaring laugh. She smiled a little,
family, as she went to the wiNdow
and drew the curtain aside.
Why, she wondered, did children
always adore their fathers? Perhaps
it was because fathers were not
home all day, telling them to do
this, not to do that. Or because they
were something of novelty, who
came home from week trips. with
intriguing gifts. Her smile faded as
she let the curtain drop.
This father, Lucy reflected with a
sigh, was strange mixture OF bluff,
good nature, generosity and ego
tism. Bill was a king in his own
home fat, rollicking monarch
whose reign had never been dis
puted. And there, Lucy decided, was
the trouble.
The children humored him. They
purposely indulged his desire to win
at whatever games they played, be-
cause they seemed to instinctively
know how much it meant to him.
They fed his vanity, took delight in
keeping his laughter quick and
ready. Lucy's face shadowed. She
wondered why such trivial matter
as Bills winning children's games
should annoy her. But it did it had
from the first-that day last Sum-
mer when she had seen Calvin de-
iberately throw handicap tennis
match so his father could win.
Dinner ready?"
They streamed in, Bill in the van,
the children following. He caught
Lucy by the elbows, and raised her
for kiss,
At the table there was a great
clatter of crockery. voices. Bill tell
ing about his trip, the children like
trained stooges giving him leading
questions. Bill Junior, looked down
the table at his father.
"How about the family ping-pong
tournament finals, dad? Play them
off tonight?"
Lucy saw her husbands nod.
''Sure, any time-but we'd better
make it tomorrow. I've got report
to write after dinner" He added,
amused: ''Think you can beat me?"
I've been practicing all week st
the 'Y'," young Bill told him.
In the dark, long after the others
were asleep. Lucy thought about the
family tournament. For long time
Bill Junior had wanted bicycle to
cover the rounds he made after

Indians Blocked Railways

For IS years the Western Indians
delayed railroad construction across
the continent, bowing before the
white mans advance only after the

giances. Further pressure resulted
in the courts upholding railroad
penetration by right of eminent do
main in 1882.
