There were no USO's and the soldiers entertained themselves the best they could. Picture taking seems to hold the same fascination. Especially in "full dress". In those days fully 50 per cent of the sol0 diers packed a single shot Springfield, and 200 cartridges had to be carried by each man as they moved into battle line. An estimated guess would have 200 cartridges weighing easily 60 pounds. You knew you were carrying a load, then. When the soldiers moved Inland they carried ponchos instead of blankets. The poncho was rubber-line- d and served as a ground sheet to the tropic's continual rains. The training wasn't as strenuous, or complete as it is today. The GI was given a small amount of close order drill with the rifle and that was it. Those who wanted to make non-cowere handed a manual to study, then you waited your turn.

If you can remember back when men went to wars, and the ladies stayed home, you will also recall that it was .1898 when President McKinley called for 75,000 volun-to teers, and 400,000 men rushed the recruiting office with thecry of "Remember the Maine!" still ringing in their ears. Out of that number, the army accepted 75,000 to form America's first and only completely volunteer army. A member of that army, John James Code, 68, a retired Union Pacific railroader from Ogden, is now occupied throughout the wee sma' hours of the .yawning at the OASC's base motor pool. He is the and has been night dispatcher eleven months. there for the past Served Under MacArthur, Too Mr. Code served in the Eighth Army Brigade under the command of General Arthur MacArthur, father of our present day fighting leader, General Douglas MacArthur. Interesting comments on the way that MacArthur is heading for the liberation of the Philippines keeps reminding him of the days he spent in and around Corregidor. The soldier didn't back up to the pay table in those days, he asserted. Payday came every 60 days and the buck private received the princely sum of $26. That adds up to $13 a month. Even the sergeants weren't much better off. Their stipend reached $36.60 every 60 days; $18.30 per month. That's all, brother! There were no allotments, no insurance, but the soldier was allowed 22 cents a day m THURSDAY-FRIDA- Y Sergeaat: J. To Be Greer, Jr., Meyer. 1 September 2 "San Fernando Valley" Te Be Majors Wm. Q.
