And they’re rooting’ tooting’, parachuting’ hard—boiled babies with a yen for a shooting’ scrape with the tough guys of Hitler and Hirohito. They’ve landed all over this war- torn eight-ball of ours since before George Washington had his scrap with the king of England and they’ve been getting better all the time. The old way — World War 1 way was landing from boats for a dash through the surf and a murderous charge up the beach. The new way is streamlined and .modern. They no longer land to take “the situation in hand’’ —they have it in hand when they hit the grown n«i_t-hmr Vir 1 ' i> ■rauad great gobs of suden death until the well— known “situation’ has disappeared. Paratroopers—marines who drop from airplanes into enemy territory are being turned out by the hun dreds, day after day in the 200 acre United States Marine Corps Base at New River, N. C. This new base is sixteen times the size of the historic old marine base at Quantico, Va. Artillery can be fired in this area without any danger of the shells dis turbing any Carolina farmer behind his mule and plow. The boy Who enlists in the marine corps today is sent to either Paris Island, S. C., or to San Diego, Cal., for a sifting and sorting pro&ess. Then, if he makes a high grade in physical and mental ability to take it” he moves into the New River acreage where he is really given the stuff that takes the rough edges off and makes 'him a first class fighting man. Only the toughest of the tough are picked for the paratroops. Then they are put through training that makes them tougher and tough er. They start inside a gymnasium jumping from a platform to teach them how to fall without getting a bused beak or a fractured fibula. Finally they are able to tumble from a twelve-foot platform onto a thin mat and get up laughing ready to do it all over again. They are taught to fall loosely with the indifference to disaster known only to very young infants. The average man would fall with muscles knotted to a degree re sulting in broken bones. And these men haven’t seen a par achute yet. The next step, after the loose falling trick becomes second nature, is to encase the novice in a harness to assure himself that ropes and wires can handle his weight. Then he is put into a parachute in a con trol tower and drops—time after time—until he gaines confidence and ease. Then he is moved along to actual falls strapped into a para chute which has a steel rod around its outer edges and holds the cloth out. Sandwiched into this training is the real toughening process. Every paratrooper is taught all the tricks of jiu-jitsu. He learns the anti- Marquis of Queensberry secrets of low-down barroom brawling the foul blows coldly calculated to either kill or render conscious an enemy in a hand-to-hand tussle. The old Bob Fitzsimmons “murder punch,” a punch that Fitzsimmons used but one time when he killed a sparring partner, also is taught *by experts. In another course they are taught demolition work—how to destroy a power plant easily and deftly, how to cut high tension wires and how to destroy roads, bridges and cul verts. In their actual jumping from Because of the tire and gas situa tion the Sophomore Declamation Con test at the College, originally sche duled for Saturday evening, May 30, will be comoined with the Junior Con test in Holland Hall on Monday morn ing, June 1st. The combined will not be unnecessarily long. The College authorities desire to save commence ment visitors as much travel as pos sible. The baccalaureate service will be held in the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer at 11:30 a. m., Sunday morning. The sermon will be preach ed by the Rev. R. A. Goodman, D. D. of the College faculty. When their son, William Bennet, receives his de gree this year Dr. and Mrs. Goodman will have had all four of their child ren, two sons and two daughters, to graduate from Newberry. At 8:30 Sunday evening, as has been the custom for years, the New berry College Singers, under the dir ection of Professor Milton More, will give a program in Holland Hall. At 10:30 a. m. Monday comes the combined Sophomore and Junior con test, followed at 5:30 by the Senior class day exercises, and at 8:30 by the Kendall Public Speaking contest. At 10:30 Tuesday morning in the gymnasium honors and degrees wilt be awarded to a class of sixty. The address will be delivered by President James C. Kinard. Both Dr. and Mrs. Kinard graduated from Newberry and their older son, James Efird, is a member of the class. The College luncheon will follow at 1:00 p. m. in the Ola Courthouse. All friends of the College are cordially invited to be present. F. A. CORNWELL Fred Aylett Cornwell, 69, of the Maybinton section of Newberry coun ty, died Friday morning at the New berry County hospital after a brief illness. Surviving are one brother, William D. Cornwell of Indianapolis, Ind., and one sister, Miss Gussie Cornwell of Whitmire. Funeral services were conducted at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon from the Ebenezer church in the Maybin ton section by the Rev. George Duf- fie. Interment was in the church cemetery.

Start the week right by going to church on Sunday, and stay right all the week. planes in the North Carolina base, the marines are dumped out over woods. They learn to land in for ests and are taught the trick of dis entangling their chutes from trees. No clear, open space is the test ground of a marine paratrooper. The planes circle over a chosen at tack site and out tumble the jumpers. They can step out at 300 feet and hit the ground in four seconds. With them come weapons on specially- marked chutes. Loaded and cocked Garand rifles with fixed bayonets are dropped to them along with dis assembled anti-tank guns, heavy and light machine guns and plenty of am munition. These marines who land from the sky have gone through training that makes football and prize- fighting look like a kissing game. They land 50 at a time. Each man is belted with a Colt .45 calibre pistol with ex tra clips, slung with a sack of hand grenades and in a sheath between knee and ankle of the right leg of his coveralls rests a razor-edge, needie-point knife. If caught in the shrouds of his chute the paratroop er can cut his way out in an instant and this can be used as an effective weapon when his pistol is empty, and his grenades are gone. Every para trooper can handle a knife like a headhunter. Marine paratroopers are taughtjo land fighting. It really is a great mechanized version of a running broad jump by a man armed to th* teeth and ready to fight. The marines use green, blue, white or black chutes—according to the tone of the sky—and can manip ulate their silken umbrellas to land feet first down a Jap throat if nec- cessary. Yes—the marines are landing— from the air with death in both hands and ready to pitch. Watch out, ene mies—here they come! Washington, May 16—It is gener ally conceded among government offi cials here that the gasoline rationing program now in effect was offered more because of the rubber famine than the petroleum shortage brought by inadequacy of transportation fac ilities. „ The general public has obviously failed to realize the seriousness of the rubber situation. Despite the fact that repeated warnings have been issued that civilians may be re quired to use the tires now on their- cars indefinitely, recent week-end traffic in the Washington area has picked up rather than fallen off with the advent of beautiful spring weath er. Reports reaching the capital from throughout the country indicate this situation has been nationwide. Among authorities who are ac quainted with all the possibilities for obtaining rubber, it is agreed that virtually all new, reclaimed and »yn. thetic rubber available during the next eighteen months must be used to further the war effort. This means that the civilian motorist must make his tires last for at least eighteen months—maybe longer. NEWBERRIANS SAFE Two Newberry families have been informed within the past two weeks that relatives in Uncle Sam’s fleet were safe and none the worse after their hazardous experiences on the high seas. Henry Cothran, son of Mrs. Claude Glenn of Oakland, who was on the naval cruiser Marblehead wired his mother from New York that he was safe and hoped to arrive home for a visit before long. This was the first message that she had had from him since a Christmas card written in November arrived long after the sea son had passed. The Marblehead made 13,000 miles after being attacked somewhere in the Pacific, landing in New York early in May. Of interest to many Newberrians also is the safe arrival of Herman Elrod at Norfolk, Virginia, after be ing in a life boat 16 days before be ing picked up after his ship had been sunk. His uncle, Henry Elrod and cousin Troy Elrod were members of the crew of the ill fated Robin Moor and spent 13 days in a life boat be fore being rescued the past summer. He is the son of D. T. Elrod of Eas ley and has a number of relatives in Newberry. RECENT MOVINGS Mr. and Mrs. William O. Ruff have moved to 1820 Nance street. Mr .and Mrs. D. F. Elliott are now making their home at 1717 1-2 Main street in the O. B. Mayer apartments. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Nichols are mak ing their home at 1905 1-2 Main street in the Parr apartments.

CADET OPERATED UPON Cadet Richard Clary, who under went an appendectomy at the infirm ary at Annapolis Military academy last Wednesday is reported to be doing nicely. Detroit, May 16—The gigantic Wil low Run bomber plant built by the Ford Motor company, is now in pro duction, the Detroit Times said to day. Beyond the bare facts that the plant is now producing bombers with which to deal vital blows to the axis, there was little detail. But it was recalled that it has oft en been reported that when in full production,_ the Willow Run plant will produce as many heavy bombers as the axis powers combined. Henry Ford’s newest industrial miracle vrt,s launched on March 28, 1941. At that time Ford told work-' men to clear :» space for a bomber plant on the flat wooded section where the factory now stands near Ypsilanti. When Ford issued orders to start work on the plant, he didn’„ even have a v-jr department contract. But K did know that he could pro duce planes and that the government needed planes. It was three weeks after the land was cleared that the first concrete was poured and five weeks later a railroad spur was completed into the plant. In all kinds of weather and twenty four hours a day, work was rushed on the high structure. Flooring was placed in the building just as soon as the roof was completed. And now, thirteen months later Henry Ford is ready to fill the sky with bombers with the same effi- cicency and speed with which he produced automobiles. G. T. BLAIR PASSES George Thomas Blair, 70, died Tuesday af the home of his daughter Mrs. C. M. Berry, after a lingering illness. He was a son of the late Nancy Taylor and James P.

Davis and family, and flowers from the Legion auxiliary, hospital auxiliary, Mrs. Ralph Sease, Mrs. George Addy, and Mr. Hal Kohn. Washington, May 15—The office of price administration made things un pleasant for “gas hogs” tonight by deciding to blazon publicly the types of gasoline ration cards issued to Eastern motorists. Price Administrator Leon Hender son quickly fell in line with Presi dent Rosevelt’s opinion, voiced at a press conference earlier in the day, that extra-allotment gasoline cards should be a matter of public record. Henderson said an order would be issued tomorrow reversing the coh- fidential status of gasoline rationing records and authorizing local ratino- ing boards to “make available for public inspection as soon as practi cable” all the Records connected with gasoline rationing. Some exceptions were stipulated, concerning federal military and law enforcement officers and agents whose duties depend upon secretary, but the exemptions did not cover senators and congressmen. This meant that the legislators who obtain X cards entitling them tc unrestricted gasoline purchases on the strength of their official duties, would be identified. At the same time, OPA emphasized that all applications which motorists signed in obtaining cards would be subject to review by OPA officials. A fine of $10,000 or imprisonment for ten years, or both, are provided for falsification of records connected with the ration plan. The forms have been turned over to local rationing boards, OPA de clared, and will be made “available for public inspection there as soon as the boards can put them in order.” The inspection may be made at any time when it will not interfere with board business.” OPA officials surmised that the shedding of publicity on B-3 and X cardholders might result in con siderable numbers of motorists who “fudged” on their gasoline needs at registration time turning them in for the garden-variety A card. The lat ter entitled them to only three gal lons weekly under the emergency plan. OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL NEAR Again Clemson college will hold its annual “Opportunity School” from July 18 through August 15, opening its doo-rs to all ambitious folk, young or old, who cannot go to day school or a college. For years the college in South Carolina offered summer courses to the educated, to those preparing to be teachers or to follow a profes sion, but there were thousands of dollars worth of property invested in college plants which stood idL a good part of the summer, while there were hundreds of people who needed and yearned for opportunity to study. From this need grew the “Opportunity School” organized in 1921 at Clemson college, with a faculty whose salary is paid by the state. The enrolment the first year was twenty. In 1939 it had reached 384, and in 1941 dropped tc 278 be cause of the draft. Originally only those who had net completed elementary grades were admitted, but the demand was so strong that today any person may at tend who is over sixteen who cannot go to day school or college. The expenses for the four weeks totals $22, which includes room, board, laundry, books, school sup plies, moving pictures, swimming, and btlier incidentals. This amount does not include transportation to and from the school. The fact that the average gain in weight is about seven pounds testifies to the quality of the food served. SATURDAY IS POPPY DAY May 23 Poppies of patriotic rem embrance will bloom in Newberry on Saturday, May 23, Miss Grace Sum mer, president of the Newberry unit of the American Legion auxiliary an nounced today. Every man, woman and child in the city will be asked to wear a poppy on that day in honor of the men who have given their lives for America.

Washington, May 15—The women’s auxiliary army corps became a reality today with a director, a feminine “West Point’ and offices in the war department with a telephone o-perator saying: “Headquarters of the WAAC.” President Roosevelt signed the bill, passed this week by congress, authorizing a corps of up to 150,000 women -to serve with the army on non-combat jobs, but he directed that for the present it be limited to 2!>,- 000 volunteers. Secretarj of War Stimson an nounced the appointment of Mrs. William P. Hobby, thirty-seven, as director. She is an attractive mother of two chiJdren and wife of former Governor Hobby, of Texas, publisher of the Houston Post. The secretary also disclosed that this nation’s firs- lady-officers’ mili tary training school will be located at Fort Des Moines, six miles south of Dcs Moines, Iowa. It will be ready to receive the future feminine captains and lieutenants in about two months. But the several thousands of would- be WAAC’s, who wrote and wired Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, Republi can, Massachusetts, who introduced the bill, needn’t rush to tie up the telephone to the war department, al ready one of he busiest numbers in the capital. , It will be two weeks before re cruiting offices will be ready to re ceive applications for candidates for the first officers’ training school. It will be three months before general recruiting for doe-privates will begin. After the WAAC is well launched, fu ture officers will come up from the ranks. NEWBERRY COUNTY MAN, SHOT IN FOOT WHILE HUNTING LOSES LEG Harry Shealy of the Belfast com munity lost his leg Saturday morning when he accidentally shot himself in the foot with a shotgun.
