The lush surroundings of the Memorial club, located in a former swank hotel at Sutter and$ Mason streets in the heart of downtown San Francisco, are a far cry from the filth and deprivations of foxhole living, which was the lot of .so many marines. But it was the unappetizing PX rations, the warm beer and the generally stale candy bars munched in foxholes which are responsible for the Marine Memorial club. Profit accruing from these sales Went to the post exchange fund, but in reality belongs to the marines who spent it. Usually such money is used to buy recreational equipment that Uncle Sam doesn't furnish.

Brand-neIndustry In eastern Cantuna Is called ada, started Just a year ago, the trapping of the most thrilling commercial fishing industry In America. At Hubbards, Nova Scotia, a unique colony of 100 men has been established to snare the giant fish for canneries. Picture shows a boatload of "elephants,' as the Nova Scotia fisherman calls the big tuna. w solution is the Marine Memorial club, where all members meet on an equal footing; where name, rank and serial number pull no weight; where the famed "esprit de corps" of the sei'vke enters into civilian The 0 800-pou- living. San Francisco was selected as the location for the club because so many marinys passed .through the Golden Gate on their way to the Pacific, felt at home here and wanted to return. The man behind this club is the man who was behind the 21st regiment of the 3rd division in the battle for Hellzapoppin bridge on Bougainville island Brig. Gen. Evan Orchard Ames (retired). The club la hi's baby. A fighting man himself, he has helped to make many a dream e reality by creating a club where marines can take it easy, have the shave and steam bath they once longed for. In an exclusive town club atmosphere. For the men' and women of the corps who did return, the club Is unique in its exclusiveness, for only marines and civilian marines may belong. Their families, wives, parents (including Gold Star parents) and children over 21 are eligible for guest memberships. Old friends in other services once attached to a marine unit may have an associate membership. Marine identification serves as both dues and initiation fee. fox-.ho- le LIVING MEMORIAL . . .
