listed man in the army presents
satisfactory evidence of enlistment
In the national guard or the en

Application for enlistment in the

said.
Army Building
Super Troops,
World Best
FORT LEWIS, Nov. 1Z-JP)-
Foreign armies boast of their
"panzer troops" physically su
perior fighters "hopped up" tem
porarily by diet and psychology
but the United States 'is today
developing a super soldier who
will outrank any other in the
world.
There soon will be 12,000 of
these super soldiers in the 3rd
division, commanded by Maj. Gen!
John P. Lucas.
The training of the fighting'
man in the modern triangular
division especially in such
well-developed divisions as the
3rd makes the short prelim
inary workout which the old
AEF received before going over
seas seem utterly ridiculous.
It isn't merely a vitamin army
or an army of giants, or even an
intelligent army that is being de
veloped at Fort Lewis it includes
all three qualities.
Brains, brawn and battle power,
army officers believe, are the re
quirements for victory.
Battle power is equipment. The
3rd division stands today one of
the strongest, fastest moving in
fantry units in the world.
Brawn is abundant. The scien
tific diet now being served three
times a day In mess halls, and
daily field training in all climatic
conditions, makes tne soicuer a
healthy specimen.
Men of the 3rd -division are
trained in broken field running
on a newly-developed obstacle
course here.
Without stumbling, they slide
in and crawl out of trenches,
scramble. through concrete cul
verts, scale eight-foot walls,
jump barricades and hop over
tank traps packing full equipment.
-They now are getting extensive
training in embarkation work with
newly developed landing boats
near Olympia. Citizens of that city
have seen their own and neighbor
ing beaches suddenly attacked by
thousands of infantry soldiers
scooting over the waves in secret
ly devloped barges.
Johnny doughboy not only totes
a gun in the daytime, but he at
tends night school and bi-weekly
current-events classes. The night
school helps him collect extra
high school credits and the current
events classes, conducted by ci
vilians, keeps him up on worid
affairs.
For if Johnny goes to war,
he will know why he went and
who he is fighting. He will be
given the facts by army officials
and will be intelligent enough
to add them up so they make
sense.
And Johnny won't be just a cog
m tne wheel. His framing will
make him independent on the
battle field. If he loses his officers.
he won't just sit down and wait
to be captured.
The modern doughboy will
know the whole story. He will
have looked at the worksheet be
fore the battle started.

MILL CITY Mrs. Max Kelly
was the honor guest at a shower
Thursday at the home of Mrs
George Crook, Mill City. Winners
of two contests were Mrs. Charles
Kelly and Mrs. Ercel Wilson. Re

Wayne Morris, recent star of "I Wanted Wings" became a member of
Uncle Sam's navy in May, 1941, when he was appointed to the rank
of ensign. When asked what he thought of the United States navy,
Morris said, "I think every man who is considering joining a mili
tary service should look into the 'chance of a lifetime' which the
navy and naval reserve offer to get into the big-pay field of the
future aviation. In the navy you can attend the finest flight train
ing schools in the world, and receive instruction from navy pilots
who introduced dive bombing, aircraft carriers and catapult take-
offs to the rest of the world. Also, there are opportunities in naval
aviation for men who don't want to fly. They can be trained as avi
ation machinists, metalsmiths, photographers, observers, or they can
receive instruction in many other trades. It's a great life in the
navy." Ensign Morris is pictured here in his line of duty as a mem.
ber of the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board at the Long Beach
Naval Reserve Air Base.
