Br ARTHUR HIGBE
Unitad Press Correspondent
Algiers (IPI He marches for
days over the worst terrain
without sign of fatigue.
He lives on next-to-nothing,
without pay.
He fights bravely and well as
an individual or in small groups
He is poorly trained for team
combat and inexpertly-led.
This picture of the Algerian
rebel soilder emerges from per
sonal observation and from con
versations with French soliders
from Gen. Raoul Salan, com
mander-in-chief in Algeria, down
to Sgt. Eimle Coyande of the
Franco-Moslem militia.
Two years ago the rebel sol
diers numbered 1,500. Today
there are 22,000.
When the rebel is outnumber
ed by the French and has a
chance to escape, he scampers
like a rabbit. When he is corner
ed, he will fight to the death,
even when wounded.
He may be a veteran of the
French Army of World War II
or Indo-China. He may be an
unemployed law clerk or drug-
ffiat'a nqstarant. Rut more? likelv
ha is a half-literate villager or I
country boy.
He may have joined because
he believes in the Algerian na
tionalist cause, or because he
hates the French or both.
He may be convinced that as
long as France runs Algeria he
will be a "second-class citizen."
He may have a brother or friend
who was shot or imprisoned by
the French.
Or he may have been "draft
ed" by rebels who descended on
his village and gave able-bodied
men the choice join us or have
your throat cut.
If he is a villager, he probably
grew up with hunting rifle in
hand and is an expert marks
man. He is less expert with ma
chine guns.
His training consisted of a few
days of rifle squad drill.
His uniform could be khakis
with an American-style helmet
or Moslem civilan clothing
skullcap, tattered suitcoat and
pants.
May Go Barefoot
He wears rubber soled field
shoes or goes barefoot.
His weapon is usually a p re-
World War II bolt-action rifle
of British, French, German,
Spanish or American make
He also has sten guns, a few
mortars, even bazookas.
He has no' aviation, no artll-
lery. He has no motor transport

Josephine Park
Group Buys Land
Grants Pass The . Josephine
county park commission has
purchased about 15 acres of land
7V4 miles west of this city near
the Rogue river.
The commission will develop
the land as a tourist camping
spot.
The property, bought from
Ben Hilton, includes the old
Dixie picnic grounds, and is the
largest tract in the county's
park system. It will be one of
the largest available areas for
camping and house trailers.
The site was purchased for
$7,500. The money came out of
a $25,000 appropriation set up
in the 1957-58 county budget
earmarked for acquisition of
new land for county parks.
Virgil Adams, new city-county
planner, will lay out the park
for the commission. He is ex
pected to be in Grants Pass
about July 20.
In the Dixie picnic grounds
now there are tables, benches
and some old equipment The
ground lies just above a pond
where the main channel of the
Rogue once flowed. The river is
a few hundred yards away.
The Dixie purchase gives the
county its largest of 10 county
parks where the commission is
doing or planning improvement
work.

He lives off the countryside,

If he is a member of one of

He has no chance of beating
the French Army in a pitched
campaign. But the French have
no chance of obliterating him
short of an all-out atomic war
of extermination.
Thus, Frenchmen believe, a
pure military victory by either
side here is impossible.

Horses arid Women
It was in the play titled "The
Round Up" that Maclyn Ar-
buckle voiced the immortal com
plaint, "Nobody loves a fat
man." The truth of this state
ment is still being disputed.
Those in agreement say that
while many women are very
fond of fat men no female ever
falls madly in love with an ex
cessively fat fellow. How about
fat women? Experts on the sub
ject say it frequently happens
that a man falls madly in love
with a plump female. It is a mat
ter of record that a Southern
woman who is 32 years old and
weighs 300 pounds is now living
happily with her fifth husband.
She divorced her first four
spouses and it is said they are
all carrying the torch for her.
This brings to mind the ditty
Sophie Tucker used to sing
which was titled, "Nobody Loves
a Fat Girl, But Oh, How a Fat
Girl Can Love."
Please Note
You have heard of a couple
who had three children all born
on the same date in different
years? Ever hear of a couple
whose three children were born
on the same date in different
years but also all at exactly the
same time of day? It happened.
I am reliably informed that the
three children of Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Andrew of Yorks, Eng
land, who are seven, three and
one-year-old respectively at this
time, were all born on July 17,
exactly at 12 noon!
After Dark
In New Jersey and many oth
er states night harness horse rac
ing is illegal. That's how it
should be. Night racing has too
many people who can't afford
it, gambling six nights a week.
Besides it keeps them up until
one or two in the morning and
makes them unfit to handle their
jobs. In brief, night horse racing
is a major menace to the eco
nomic health of a community
and should be prohibited.

salad? Yes, Ma'am. It is by Sid
ney Smith and is said to make
very fine salad. Can be found
in poetry anthologies at the pub

are:
- Oh, herbaceous treat!

And plunge his fingers
