LOCAL YOUTH JOINS UNITED STATES MARINES Another Anaheim youth joins Take it from Staff Sergeant Elieen Klier, food is no problem at Marine Corps Bases. Interviewed at the S. Q. R. Store as she talked to women Marine Corps applicants yesterday she declared: “Here I am on detached duty, living almost as a civilian would with no ration books to worry about, and some of my best friends are being fed from the fat of the land and no worries back at camp,” she mused. “Don’t think I’m complaining,” she added. “This is my duty, and we need many more women to relieve men for the battle front, but when I get to thinking about all that good “chow” my mouth starts watering.” “Women cooks, mess sergeants, mess officers, bakers and mess girls, see that the best food is well prepared and attractively served. Lighter meals than the men eat are planned. Meats are of the best and there are always plenty of leafy salads, fresh vegetables and fruits . . . and no points to bother with,” she smiled. “And the Marine Corps doesn’t use KP as a punishment. The girls who wait on tables only do so for two weeks, and then receive extra pay, at boot camp,” she added.

Because of the greater speed individuals live under there is more eye strain than 20 years ago and consequently it was necessary to develop the bifocal lens and more recently the trifocal lens. The first bifocal glasses originated with Benjamin Franklin. Bifocals are very satisfactory because many defects have been eliminated due to methods of grinding. Trifocals are fast increasing in popularity because they eliminate defects which cannot be corrected with any other lens. One serious defect must be overcome before plastics can replace optical glass. At the present time plastics are easily scratched. The speaker was introduced by Dr. Lloyd A. Burrows, program chairman. A quiz contest was held during the business meeting by President Paul Demaree and it was revealed that there are 5,218 clubs scattered throughout the world with a total membership of 220,500.
