Marines Complete 167 Years
Of Exciting and Daring History
The United States Marine Corps
on November 10 will round out 167
years of faithful service to the
people of America during which
time the Marines have made more
than 180 landings on foreign
shores. The anniversary of the
Marine Corps again finds the
Leathernecks scattered throughout
the world battling with unequalled
ferocity to uphold their reputation
as the “fightin’est” service of them
all.
Throughout its long history of
ever faithful service to the nation,
there is hardly a year in which
the Soldiers of the Sea have not
carried Old Glory ashore in the
name of Uncle Sam, either to pro
tect American lives and property,
or to carry out some form of
naval enterprise in the best in
terests of our government. No mat
ter what the occasion—when or
where—the action of the Marines
has been that of valiant exploits
and glorious victory.
Never have the Leathernecks re
treated and all opponents have
found that a fight with Marines
is a fight to the finish. Such a
fight was Wake Island. Against
that gallant little garrison of 378
men the Japanese pitted an ar
mada of 12 ships and scores of
bombers. After 15 days of steady
pressure, the physically exhaust
ed Marines were overwhelmed by
sheer weight of numbers, but there
was victory in their defeat. Those
Marines could lift bloody heads
from sandy foxholes and that tiny,
tree-studded island and count the
shattered hulks of a light cruiser,
three destroyers, a gun boat, a
submarine, not to mention the
bodies of hundreds of Japanese
seamen and soldiers.
It is men of the Wake Island
breed who have made wearing of
the globe, anchor and eagle a
badge of courage and tenacity for
167 years. To a Marine his uni
form is something to be worn with

pride and a little extra snap for
it stands for all those men before
—all those men who have fought
for the Corps since Captain Sam
uel Nicholas conducted the first
landing operation March 3, 1776
—before the Declaration of Inde
pendence.
Today finds the Marines in every
quarter of the globe fighting for
the ideals of Democracy. The Ma
rine Corps has grown from a small
band of hardy patriots into one
of the greatest fighting forces in
the world. The American Marine
has been put to the test countless
times and has never been found
wanting. His versatility, trust
worthiness, singleness and ten
acity of purpose, discipline, cour
age and self sacrifice have been
proven throughout history.
On November 10 a grateful na
tion will pay tribute to the Marine
Corps. America knows its record
of achievements and it knows the
Marines will carry on as they have
always—first to fight for right
and freedom and to keep Amer
ica’s, as well as their own, honor
clean.

last appearance on this campus, at
least for the duration. If you like
music that is extremely danceable,
as well as easy on the ears, please
don’t miss him. During this ap
pearance Rayburn’s only drawback
seems to be that his repertoire in
cludes too many tunes on the fast
side and not enough ballads. This
is purely from the dancer’s stand
point, while from the average mu
sician’s viewpoint Raeburn sports
a fine style and spikes it with just
enough novelties to please the av
erage crowd.
In the vocal department Boyd
has changed his policy of using
only male entertainers, and now
boasts of a comely fern warbler
by the name of Louise Raymond.
Of the opposite sex Ted Travers
tries miserably to fill the shoes of
the band’s ex-male vocalist, Hal
Derwin, who is now appearing
with Les Brown and his orches
tra, but at the same time he pos
sesses just enough of that certain
stuff to keep up the well known
Raeburn standard. See you tonight
at the Victory Corps Dance.

Radio Waves Vital
In Fusing of Tin
Radio waves broadcast from a
ten-foot length of coiled copper
tubing today demonstrated their
ability to produce a smooth, shiny,
corrosion-resisting finish on tin
plate urgently needed to pack food
for the nation’s armed forces.
Harnessed to save dwindling
supplies of war-scarce tin, the
radio waves—200,000 a second—
put a mirror-like finish on a strip
of dull, pitted tin plate in less time
than it takes to draw a deep
breath.
Already at work in a big steel
mill, the process is the latest re
sult of electronic research at the
Westinghouse Electric & Manufac
turing Company, which squeezed
what would normally require two
years of work into less than six
months. And the new system is do
ing in one-tenth the time a task
that previously required ponderous
furnaces or huge vats of hot oil.
Immense quantities of tin plate
are being used to protect rations
of the U. S. Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps and for food shipments
to allied nations. Engineers ex
plained that shiny, smooth-surfaced
tin gives better protection to foods
containing acid.
Guest Scholars
Are Back From
Mexico City
Six American college men have
returned home after completing
courses at the University of Mex
ico summer school, where they
were guest scholars at the expense
of the university and the co-ordi-
nator of inter-American affairs
in Washington.
The six won a nation-wide
speaking contest last spring which
was sponsered by the co-ordina
tor’s office. More than 250,000 stu
dents in 352 colleges and univer
sities competed.
At the end of the summer term,
they were congratulated by the
head of the school, Sr. Don Mart
inez del Rio, who said, in partWe
feel that the contest which you
won, particularly the knowledge of
Central and South America which
you have acquired, will tend to
cement the relations of the coun
tries of this hemisphere.”
The winners were: James J.
Rathbum, Northwestern university,

Pauw university, Greencastle, Ind.;
Tom Klink, Pacific university,
