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.
Mrs. Mattie Huston departed for
Porltand this morning for a few
days' visit.

Some conception of the demand for the 1940 Chevrolet may be gained from
the fact that the one-millionth model of this year's production left the
assembly line at Flint, Mich., on July 12. In celebration of the public appre
ciation reflected by this tremendous production record, M. E. Coyle, general
manager of Chevrolet, shown (left) above with W. E. Holler, general sales
manager, announced that the one-millionth 1940 car, together with a trip to
the New York World's Fair, would be awarded in a contest which is open now
and will close Aug. 31. Details are obtainable at any of the company's dealers.
