Basic Training
In Army Differs
From War Routine
Fort Ord, Calif., Dec. 8 IP
Army draftees now enjoy wiener
roasts and molves while theyjre
on bivouac but Infantry basic
training still is no Sunday school
picnic.
A lot of ex-GIs, who staggered
through 13 hectic and rugged
weeks in replacement training
centers during world war II, will
bo happy to know that the army
has dropped Dayonet urw irom
its new program. No more gren-
ade throwing, either. And that
nightmare known as the "infiltra
tion course," in which live machine-gun
fire sizzled a few inch
es above a trainee's head, also
has been abolished.
The old "obstacle course" a
fiendish layout of towering bar
riers and deep pits through which
world war II trainees sweated and
Bwore now Is called the "confi
dence course' and is considerably
easier. And if a 1048-model trainee
thinks he can't surmount the ob
stacles, the army gives him a pat
on the back and says, "do what
you can, soldier."
I'se Large Tents
Troops on winter bivouac sleep
16 together in large, heavy tents
instead of freezing two by two in
"pup tents." Food prepared In
mess halls and served piping hot
is taken to them In the field so
there's no more chewing on a "D"
ration bar or eating cold hash and
dog biscuitis out of a "C" ration
kit. Movies are shown at an out
door theater during the week-long
field bivouac and it ends with a
wiener roast.
The entire course has been
shortened from 13 weeks to eight
weeks to bring units up to
strength faster, Shaw said. It
probably will be boosted to 13
weekj again next summer.
, But that's not the whole story
of this 28,804 acre military reser
vation fronting on Monterey bay,
which serves as the induction and
training center for the sixth
army's eight western state area.
Still Given Orders
"The men are not going to be
,babied," said Col. L. E. Shaw,
' chief of operations and training.
"They are going to be given or
ders . . . and the court martial
. regulations still are In effect."
Despite the picnic air of the
bivouac, It ends on the grim note
of a full-field equipment 15-mlle
march, with the last part under
forced draft. Gone, however, are
the aptly named wartime training
'marches known as "rat races." ,
' . The impact of the atom bomb
has not been felt In basic training
circles. Nothing is taught In the
way of A-bomb defense or first
aid for Its casualties.
. Shaiv explained the new basic
training program Is designed to
tench the 700 draftees arriving
each week the things every sol
dier ought to know, Specialization
waits until the soldier Is either
sent to a technical school or as
signed to a unit. The advanced
training course has been elimin
ated. l ire Ml Kifle
The new rookies get the big
gest kick out of firing the Ml
rifle. But that's the only weapon
they fire in contrast to wartime
training when a draftee fired
"wet runs" with bazookas, gren
ades, light machine guns, two
Snow 24 Inches
Deep on Ochoco
Prinevllle, Dec. 8 H. C. Hul
ett. sutiervlsor of the Ochoco na
tional forest, reported yesterday
that the season's work on forest
access roads was ended when
snow reached a dentil of 24 m
ches at Lvtle prairie Monday
night. A crew of eight men, who
had been working on the Arvld
Nelson road, broke camp at Lytle
prairie and returned from the
highland district.
Hulett said that the forest road
crews had built five miles of road
the past season.
OUT OUR WAY
Williams
New Trailways
Route Planned
Prinevllle, Dec. 8 William
Niskanen, an officer of the Pacific
Trailways, prefacing his talk with
a history of the transportation
svstem. headquarters ol wnicn
are In Bond, addressed the Prine.
ville-Crook county chamber of
commerce at its weekly luncheon
vesterdav.
He said his organization is con
templating the operation of
through buses, traveling between
Portland and Salt Lake City, by
way of Vale, John Day, Prinevllle
and Madras, when the relocation
of the Ochoco highway and bet
terment of roads from the Jonn
Dav valley over Into eastern Ore
gon Justify such operation. Such
routing, ne aeciarca, win ao mucn
to advertise this area.
Niskanen said that Inaugura
tion of such through service over
highways as have existed up to
the present would have been an
error, in tnat tne rouie woum
have gained condemnation from
through travelers. He said that
his company had recently told the
John Day chamber of commerce
that on May 15, 1949, It will inaug
urate a service between there and
Vale. Unless indications are that
travel will Justify it during the
winter months, however, this serv
ice will be discontinued during the
season when weather will make
roads bad, Niskanen said.
The Bend bus line executive
said that originally nearly every
major bus line serving the Facilic
northwest had tried out serving
Central Oregon. He cited how
the Overland Greyhound line had
for a time penetrated the area
from The Dalles. The Northland
lines of the Great Northern rail
way had entered the area from
Klamatn falls. facutc Grey
hound came in from Eugene. They
passed out of the picture when
they considered a lack ol popu
lation would not make the service
financially successful.
Then the Mt. Hood stages fol
lowed ,-and began to take over
where the other transportation
lines had left off. It acquired
the Bend-Burns line and the
Burris:Ontai'lo service. In turn It
tooU'ovcr the Gem Stale service
between Welser and Boise, Ida.
Then it took over the Ontario-
Prinevllle route and the Prlne-
mortars and Browning automatic
rifles.
But, although no differentiation
In training is made between 18-year-old
enlistees, regular enlist
ees and draftees, it's still the
same old army. A considerable
portion of time is spent In dis
mounted drill. And the men stand
early-morning formations and re
treat ceremonies which, Shaw ex
plained, "teaches alertness and is
good for discipline."

Winter Moves Uranium Ore
Hunters Out of Northland
Reglna, Sask., Dec. 8 W Win
ter drove all but one of the spe
cial government uranium pros
pectors from the Held today, and
the government took an account
ing of this year's uranium hunt
and planned for even a bigger
one next summer. ,
The lone prospector still In the
field is J. J. Paulson, who inci
dentally, was the first man to
ville-Redmond-Bend run. Because
of the tremendous increase in
costs of operation, which over a
decade rose from 12 to 24 and 25
cents per mile, the route over the
Ochoco highway and John Day
valley had to be subsidized by the
company. The service between
Ontario and John Day was dis
continued.
The Bend transportation line
saw the necessity of tying in with
trancontlnental .connections at
Salt Lake City, In order to gain
tne advantage ol a tnrougn pas
senger business. When it gained
this victory In 1945. Niskanen
cited, it made possible a contin
uation of a bettered local service
in the area.
While Nilskanen said he could
give no definite time as to when
a trans-stato service, between
Portland and southeastern Ore
gon, utilizing the Warm Springs,
Ochoco and John Day highways,
will be launched, he said his com
pany is making definite prepara
tions for such service. He said
that new depot service is under
way in Prinevllle,
take to the frozen north last
spring. The government-assisted
prospectors will go north again
on May 24.
The most recent developments
in this year's finds was the leas
ing by the Saskatchewan govern
ment to seven yet unnamed Can
adian mining companies exclu
sive prospecting rights in the
Black lake area, 400 miles north
of Prince Albert. The companies
bought the rights for $50,000 and
promised to spend another $400,
000 in developing the leases in
the next three years.
Uranium mined on the leases
must be sold to the Eldorado com
pany, the dominion government's
crown corporation, for $2.75 a
pound for processing.
Numerous developments have
been started in the Canadian ura
nium fields this year. One of the
largest is by Transcontinental Re
sources Ltd., of Toronto, which
bought the original Black Bear
discovery block from two prospec
tors, noy Toney and Jonn Al
brecht, who made the strike.
Transcontinental bought the
block for $15,000 and 300 shares
in the project. It is pledged to
spend $1,000,000 in developing
leases.
Concord grapes are best for
making grape Juice, some say, be
cause the Juice has the Combina
tion of qualities, such as color,
flavor, aroma and acidity, which
makes a rclrcshing and thirst
quenching drink.
