Lieutenant Shaver joined the I
Marauders a year ago during the
early stage of their four-month
struggle for the important* city of
Myitkina. “We had the city sur-
rounded in June but- the Japs)
fought bitterly until August,” he
recalls. “Several small parties of
Japs tried to sneak through our
encirclement but they were usu-
ally spotted by our air force. Al-
most the entire garrison remain-
ed trapped and died to the last
man.” Fall' of the city eliminated
the last Jap stronghold in North-
ern Burma and gave the Chinese
ERTER and American forces two alr-
Composite strips and a vital railhead.

Success At Son Francisco
“Bringing the nations together, if it does
nothing else, has made this conference “worth-
while,” said a spectator at San Francisco. Bring-
ing the nations together has indeed been worth-
while for we see now what keeps nations apart.
The difficulty is not a question of who is chair-
man, who gets how many votes, nor any other
detail of organization. It is a question of wheth-
er that organization will be governed by moral
and spiritual principles or by politics and expe-
diency.
If small nations’ demands are based on self-
interest, for instance, rather than on principles
o justice, they will just be grit in the wheels of
.a world organization. And if large nations rare
more concerned with their own interests' and
prestige than with moral principle the way is
not paved for peace.
“We must deal realistically with facts of war,”
said one of the delegates. ‘‘Among the ‘facts of
war5,” replied another, “are also the principles
that are the only sure way to peaceful interna-
tional life.” The battle for principle must be won
at San Francisco, and won without compromise,
or the battle for peace will be lost. We must also
win the hearts and minds and keep the loyalty of
those we work with. The only way to win a bat-
tle'of principle is to win the other fellow to
your principle. Or both must change and find
together a higher principle oh; which to work.
Can this be done? Anything can be done at
the San Francisco conference “that you and I can
do in a family conference. Can we stand firmly
for moral principle at he breakfast table and
not lose the loyalty of pur wife or children? We
can, if we will place ourselves under authority
along with them— if, instead of dictating to them,
we learn with them, admitting our own mis-
takes. The one high authority we can all accept
and work Tinder together is "the authority of God.
Use this as the key to agreement without com-
promise at home, and we will have the key
needed for success at San Francisco.

and every mile they are pushed back will in-

Hats Off To The WD
Hats off to the War Department fop: its far-
sighted and comprehensive j plans for -(redeploy-
ment. "j j | j
. We think they are swell.
We like the way the War Department laid
its cards on the table for every man and woman
in uniform to see. j «..•;.(• j.
We like the “Okay, Joe, this is (the story.
We’ve got a tough' job dhead in the Pacific.
. Whipping those Japs will >e tough, but we can
do it. We don’t like the prospects any better
than you do, but the sooner we get in [there and
pitch the sooner we’ll all get home,” (frankness
with which- the plans are outlined. . , /
We like the way the ploint system is laid on
the line. A little multiplication and addition/ and
.every soldier knows just where he stands. Some
| dischargees won’t get out of uniform for a long
time, but the War Department doesn’t double-
talk and alibi but comes right out and says so.
The plans reflect straight thinking and
straight talking. They reflect a great deal of
study and a full appreciation of the job left -to
do. The plans and the methods used to present
them to the troops are strictly okay. It doesn’t
take a lawyer to understand the language nor a
mystic to read between the lines. The story is
all there in black and white.
• Every man and woman in uniform should be
grateful— for they now know just where they
stand. j
for discharge points.

A.W.O.L! .
This drastic step, however,
proved to be but a futile ges-
ture, for Pvt. Glumm was
soon picked up by a muscular
ALP., who politlcaly escorted
him back to camp.
You may be surprised to hear
that Glumm was sentenced to two
years in the stockade after all,
this was only the 7th time he had
gone “over the hill.”
“Oh, well," said he, “What’s

GI Bond -Tour Best Investment!
It'8 true that you’re (helping your jfbuntry
when you buy war bonds, but you’re doing
yourself the real favor. / )
“Why?” you ask.' - . ./ j J
Because war bonds ppvide the safest in-
vestment in the world to guarantee that future)
we’re all thinking about.- 7 j
The Seventh War Loan drive for Wjar De-;
partment personnel has started. ' It lasts until
July 7th. It needs your support, ahd you need
thfe security and nest-egg that war bpnds will
provide. . i !
The Treasury Department offers p special
bond available to military personnel only— and
it really fills the bill. It’s the, GI Bond which
can be bought for $7.50 and matures in ten years
at $10.
Although the GI Bond; can be purchased only
by military personnel,, you/ can make any in-
dividual your co-owner: your wife, your mother
— yes, even your girl. . t,
Perhaps, you’re already buying one or more
GI Bonds each month /by allotment. Why not
increase that allotment by at least $7.50? See
your Unit Personnel Officer if you want to start ,
or increase 'an allotment for GI Bonds. You
won’t be sorry. / ■
And don’t forget that you can buy GI Bonds
for cash from the Finance office on your post.
A few of these $10 bonds bought during 'this
Seventh War Loan can come in mighty handy
for those extras that you’ll undoubtedly want
to buy later on.
Savings is a truly important word in your
life right now. The kind of future America has
—the kind of future you and! your family will
have when we win this war — rests with you.
Don’t let that future slip through your gingers —
don’t miss any chance to save!
No matter what the Big Three do, nations
.will , continue at sixes and sevens until their oWn
people learn to be one.
It's only a rising tide of unselfishness which
can keep this on any other nation off the rocks.

produce good results in the early

Sgt Lois Clark Lauchlan, who - was a cosmotol- f
egy instructor in civilian ' life in Portland, Ore.,
says that her most valuable lesson in living has
been learned in the Women’s Army Corps. -
“Since I’ve been in. the services I’ve really dis-
covered how to get along with people,” says Ser-
geant Lauchlan, who. has been with WAC De-
tachment Two, The Infantry School, since October,
1943. “Army life has taught me how to cooperate
with others. Looking back I realize I was too m
dependent’ as a civilian. As a WAC I’ve learned
that you've got to mix more with people and
think of the rights of others.” ,
BETTER CIVILIAN
After the war, Lois says,, she’s sure shell be
a better citizen and instructor as a result. A state-
licensed teacher, she was on; the faculty of the
Portland Western Beauty College for three years
before her enlistment in June, 1943.
“Cosmetology is a stiff, . semi-professional -
course,” Lauchlan explains. “First we gave our
classes a good background in sanitation, hygiene
and anatomy. Then we taught -the correct use of
hair dyes, how to give permanent waves, facials
and manicures, winding up the nine months
course with instruction in business methods.
STUDIED AT NIGHT
During each schobl year Sergeant Lauchlan,
then “Miss Clark.” taught anywhere from 200 r
300 students. At night she herself went back to
school, taking courses in business administration.
. Before studying cosmotology she attended th
Central College of Education in Cheney, Wasn.
In her present job with Uncle Sam s forces
Sergeant Lauchlan is in charge of the file room -a
headquarters of the Academic Regimen, e
fantry School. Using the Dewey decimal system
which she learned at Army Administration
in Conway, Ark., she supervises the filing^ -

bridges of silk to carry the fight to the enemy’s rear and
hit him where it hurts the most. . 4 • .
Although the activation date did not mark the exact start of

of the late General Billy Mitchell, withdrew a portionofthe heroic

over to General MitcheU for parachute training in the fields of
France° Sudden ending of the World War, however, speedily obvi-
I ated the need then for paratroopers.

clearly emblazoned across the skies by the temporary successes_of
Germany. Where previously only tentative units were m opera-;
tion in this country/ on July 10, 1941, immediate training of para-
troopers was made a responsibility of The Infantry School. -<
The Infantry School established a parachute section comprising
56 officers and enlisted men. Following the activation m May,
of The Parachute School, the former Parachute Section of The In-
fantry School was used as a nucleus. Personnel of the school origi-
nally total 82 officers and 141 enlisted men. »

and the training methods patterned to combat experiences. The , j j

'as t. circus attraction. It is not
clear who was the first to jump
from a plane by parachute, but
the honor is generally accredited
to an American^ Captain Albert,
Perry. ' The year was 1912. He
: jumped 2,500 feet over an Army
Air Base in St. Louis, and— to
give dramatic point to his feat —
delivered a message to the Com-
; manding Officer of the Post.
4 Dumgi the first World War, the
1 parachute was used exclusively as
a safety device for pilots of air-
planes, balloons and dirigibles. No
one yet had the daring dr vision
to see it as the wings .of a . new
kind of army. But, after»the war
came the prodigious development
of the airplane, and with it the
perfection of the modem para-
chute. .
The development of the para-
chute Was dramatized at McCook
Field on October 20, 1922. Lt.
Harold R. Harris - was sent up to
test a Loening monoplane. The
plane went into a nosedive and
when he lost control, Harris, who

had never before used a para-
chute, baled out. Desperately he
pulled the ripcord, but the chute
would not open. Again he pulled,
again without success. .-Suddenly
’ — as he saw the ground rush to-
ward him — he remembered that
he was pulling the wrong cord.
He reached for the right one and
pulled. The chute opened as Lt.
Harris was no- more than 500
feet from the ground. Yet, it
carried Harris safely to the
ground.
This was the first emergency
jump from a heavier-than-air
machine— and, under the most
difficult conditions, it proved its
importance. There could no lon-
ger be any question of the para-
chute’s efficiency, or the perma-
nent place it had now won in
aviation.
Gradually the realization came
to far-sighted military men of
its potential power. Why not an
army of the air, jumping into
enemy territory?
■ In October, 1928, General Wil-
liam Mitchell — our own-unappre-
ciated prophet of modern air-
power — first conceived the idea of
paratroops. From a Martin bomb-
er over Kelly Field, Texas, he had
six American paratroopers drop
to the ground; within three min-
utes, the men had reassembled,
set up their guns, and were ready

TPS Sergeant :
Forsakes Movie f
Career for WAC k
From the glamour of a movie set
to duty in The Parachute School
Women’s Army Corps Detachment
is the amazing history of Technic-
ian Third Grade Mary Collins.
Before entering the service,
Sergeant Collins had an interesting
and colorful career. ; She worked
with the Signal Corps in the Bud-
get and Fiscal Department ' in
Washington! Her real talents .
leaned toward Hollywood, how-
ever, and in a short time she found
her way there.
In a civilian capacity with the
Signal ' Corps Photo Center in
Beverly Hills, she held down an
advisory and administrative post
in conjunction with the major Hoi-,
lywooi studios, assisting greatly in
the production of all films in con-
nection with the service.
“NEED SO URGENT" J
She gave all this up to join the
WAC's, altogether her job was la-,
beled “essential. “I joined the
WAC's because I thought I could
do more for the war effort in the
■service,” she said when inter-
viewed on her entrance into the
Army if ‘and because the need for
women in uniform was so urgent.”
When M-G-M began work on
the recent WAC motion picture,
"Keep Your Powder Dry” it was
only natural that the studio should
call for Sergeant Collins. Her real
life so closely paralleled the real
life portrayed on the screen by
Lana Turner, that no other choice
was possible.
PLAYED SMALL PART
She played a small part in_.the
film but it was her technical ad-
^ vice that contributed so greatly to
'' the success of the picture. She
was , welcomed back to ‘ Camp
Haan, Calif., from Hollywood in
topical G. I. fashion. The jqext
morning found Sergeant Co0ins,
(then a private) on K. P., where
there are no stand-ins, and the di-
rector is the mess sergeant.
s At Camp Haan she was a clerk
typist and starred on the WAC
softball team. She was transferred
to The Parachute School in De-
cember, 1944. She works in the
Adjutant General's office, and
holds down a hot'corner for The
Parachute School WAC-- softball
/. team. She also sings, with the Oc-
tette at .The Parachute School
