step she has never regretted.
Besides the fine training you
receive" she said. you are in
stilled with the sort of confidence
that comes from being part of
a proud organization with ira
dition."
The new lieutenant colonel
thinks that girls who are now
graduating from high school and
college. should give serious
thought to what a military career
offers. "It was proven during the
war and readily admitted by all
the services that women were
needed and that they can do a
good job" she said.
The pretty VIM deputy director
believes discipline heads the list
of benefits to be gained from
military training. She also listed
adaptability, poise and leadership
as other assets derived from such
training.
1t. Col. Hamblet spoke with
enthusiasm of the six-week sum-
mer course for women officer can
didates inaugurated at Quantico
this summer. The first of its type
adopted by any of the women's

potential Marine Corps officers.
1t. Col. Hamblet also is engaged
in setting up organized reserve
units for women throughout the
country. This plan also follows
the mems program" she pointed
out, "but in some respects we
have modified it to the women's
needs. Instead of learning how
to shoulder a rifle, for example
the women trainees get pointers
on such things as tipping, steno-
graphy and personnel administra-

Kudzu has been called tn e

well deserves. If a farmer has an
established field of kudzu which
is three or more years old, Mr..
Strange said, each acre will fur
nish temporary grazing for five

self of such Importance that the
PIMA. (AAA) has adopted it as
an unlimited practice, allowing
any farmer to plant as much as
he wishes and paying him So per

crowns will cost $40 per thous-
and. but the farmer pays only So
per thousand.
The planting season is here
and if farmers intend to plant
kudzu this year they are advised
to get the land prepared so it will
have time to settle and be firm
before setting out the crowns.
