Charles David Miller, son of Em-
mett Miller of Route 2 Mesquite, en-
listed in the Marines, Parachute Bat-
talion, Wednesday and will leave
Friday for an unknown destination.
David, the youngest of six children
in his family, graduated from Mes-
quife high school June 1940. He has
a brother, Ralph in the prmy. sta-
tioned at Fort Bliss.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Miller receiv-
ed another telegram Monday from
their son, L. Q., who is in Pearl
Harbor. He was safe and well.
--RPH--
There’s a legend in California Ma-
rine posts that you don’t holler “Tex
as!” unless you want to call a con-
vention. And it probably stems back
to the time when a recruit camp ser-
geant, seeking a certain Lone Star
state youth and not knowing his
name, stepped up to the barracks
door and yelled: “Hey, you, Texas!”
The story goes that the men in the
squad room snapped to attention and
that the sergeant, lacking better
identification, lined them up and had
them pass in single file until he
found the man for whom he
looking.
If the boys going out to
Diego for basic training should get
to hankering for some Texas corn-
attention of the editor.
