Travel Offer Attracts Youths to Marines The restless spirit of American youth is becoming more evident every day, an even when there are no pressing economic problems at home, there is an inborn desire on the part of every young man for travel and adventure. Such is the opinion of Major Jam es B. Hardie, in charge of the Mar ine Coips recruiting station at Port land, Oregon, who states that the first question asked by each ap plicant is "Where do we go from here?" They do not always put the ques tion in that fashion, but the exam ining officer can readily see that their chief desire is to get started for one of the numerous Marine Corps posts at home or abroad, and especially one which happens to be in some far corner of the globe. Most of the young men who seek enlistment in the Marine Corps nowadays are not of the hitch-hiking type. Many of them are natives of localities from twenty-five to thirty miles from the city. They enlist for nearly every rea son under the sun, and mainly be cause they have either failed to find satisfactory employment at home or have succumbed to the natural de sire of nearly every normal youth to travel about a bit and see what is going on elsewhere. Happily the Marine Corps is able to fulfill that desire very satisfac torily. The entire Corps is trained with a view to quick mobilization or the rapid shifting of units here and there. Officers and men change locations constantly. The main training sta tions at Parris Island,' So. Carolina, an San Diego, Calif., have virtually an entire "turn over" every few months with men leaving for sea duty, for foreign service, or for one of the widely-scattered posts where Marines are serving. W. S. Bennett and son Billy re turned home Saturday. Mr. Bennett had been at Corvallis for two weeks attending summer session for Smith- Hushes instructors at O.S.C., while Billy had been at Vancouver, Wash., for some time.
