And thereby hangs a tale, as I like to quote from Shakespeare. The marines are great fighters and the marines of each generation maintain in full glory all the heroic traditions of their spendid service. The doughboys, however, say that the marines have a pub licity service fully as active as the fighters themselves. In fact one soldier scornfully said that in a well known en gagement the marines lost more photographers than fight ers. As we have one of the heroes of Guadalcanal in the family I remain enthusiastic but neutral, since there are also sailors, soldiers and airmen in the family. At the renowned battle of Bellieu wood, as I recall, the marines withstood the German advance and then repulsed the Kaiser’s prize troopers. So great was the rejoicing over this notable exploit that the nation rang with acclaim. So the soldiers, in scorn, would cry out, on seeing a Ma rine, who won the war? The marines. Then followed a live ly mixup until M.P.’s came up. Then all were a single fra ternity for nobody loved an M.P. In the course of time soldiers, marines, and sailors made common cause in deriding the M.P.s. “Who won the War?” “The M.P.s.” Whereupon the M. P.s went into action. Recently a front rank soldier of the Asiatic campaign said to me “Well,, what do you know about Guadalcanal?” Did you ever hear that the marines were saved by the army?” No, we didn’t have the photographers and re porters with us, but we saved the marines.” I didn’t have much to say lest someone should have to save me. Still I ask what you think of this,, as a modest assertion: “MARINES ADD SPACE VERSE TO BATTLE HYMN. The only surprising thing is that it took the Marines so long to propose this. The Parris Island weekly newspaper notes the space mis sile rivalry between Army and Navy and suggests this re vision of the Marine Corps Hymn: Tf the Army and the Navy Ever shoot through Heaven’s scenes They will find the moon is guarded By the United States Marines’.” Prosperity News MRS. B. T. YOUNQ, Correspondent Mesdames Ryan Fellers, Lyon Fellers, Ben Sinclair and Miss Myra Hardy were joint hostesses at a drop-in Sunday afternoon, April 27 for Mr. and Mrs. Ira Kinard of the O’Neal commun ity who recently moved into their new home which replaces the one which burned several months ago.
