SAN DIEGO, Calif. —Marine
Private John E. Brenner, son
of Mrs. Edwin E. Brenner of
208 West Bryan, Kermit, Tex-
as, was graduated from eight
weeks of recruit training at the
Marine Corps Recruit Depot
here.
He will now undergo about
three weeks of individual com-
bat training and then, after
leave at home, will report to
his first Marine Corps assign-
m ent.
The intensified Marine re-
cruit training emphasizes rigid
physical conditioning and sur-
vival techniques, both at sea
and ashore, to develop self-
confidence and endurance.
Marksmanship with the M-14
rifle and 45-calibre pistol are
equally stressed, and close or-
der drill instills the traditions
of Marine Corps teamwork.
A thorough study of basic
military subjects, hygiene,
first aid and sanitation, and
the customs, courtesies, his-
tory and mission of the Marine
Corps serve to polish the new
Marine’s recruit education and
prepare him to join Marine
combat forces.

nual convention of Texas Fed-

vened at 3 p.m., Friday,
June 9.

ident of the National Federa-

It Is Not Worth The Effort

BY MARTHA SPINKS
I got to thinking just the other
day what it takes to be a jour-
nalist. As a potential Brenda
Starr, I felt that it would be
to my benefit to know how to
play the role — it’s just part
of the price a dedicated news-
woman must pay.
I really studied this situation.
It’s quite obvious from all the
movies I’ve seen that the very
first bit of equipment neces-
sary to my budding career is a
cigarette. Well, not really JUST
side; but I finally had to face
it—there’s nothing really very
artistic or imaginative about a
cigarette, basically it’s just a
plain white shaft with dirty
looking old crunched-up brown
leaves inside. It just didn’t
do much for my aesthetic per-
sonality.
But now the packages, they
were something else al-
together. I found a charming
shade of blue, and the red was
really quite attractive, but I
decided I should choose a color
the only way I can foresee
avoiding the nicotine fate. It’s
really a pity, too, I think I look
m uch better in my trench coat
and floppy brimmed hat and sun-
glasses than in my sensible
shoes, bun and horn-rimmed
glasses, but that’s just part of
the price a dedicated educator
must pay.
THAT’S A FUNNY KIND OF
WALLET
When Louis Negron, 17, and
a 14-year-old companion picked
out a man in New York City
for a hold-up, they made the
standard request: “Hand over
your money.” fa
The “victim” reached in-
to his pocket. But instead of
producing his wallet, he pulled
out a revolver and badge iden-
tifying him as Jules Sachson,
a deputy police inspector. He
arrested the youths, fa
A growing child wants to help
himself, and clothes are a good
learning device for this.
A garment which a child can
put on and take off with little
or no help from an adult is
important to the child as well
as his mother. Learning how
to dress himself makes the
child more independent and self dress SERVES WELL
confident —- and saves mother's
time.
The age at which a young-
ster can manage his clothing
depends on the individual child,
his training, and the construc-
tion of the clothes. Choosing

cariously over the rickety type- however, I settled on a con-
writer as the journalist pounds
away. The recent trend toward
longer cigarettes definitely
would add to my continental
flair, indeed, I might even be
able to work out something with
a cigarette holder, a gold en-
graved case, and flashy look-
ing lighter — there were some
real posibilities there . . .
Now how would Brenda Starr
handle this? Do glamorous
newspaperwomen (Well, okay,
let’s just say newspaperwomen
in GENERAL) still travel to
foreign countries to ask a deb-
onair, handsome soldier of for-
tune for a light? And just how
does one swing the two-cigar-
ettes-lit-at-once bit? And you
KNOW Brenda Starr wouldn’t
blow her smoke like a common
housewife. So many details . ..
I decided to look at the dif-
ferent brands of cigarettes for
a start. The cigarettes them-
selves, I soon discovered, all
look practically alike. Oh, I
admit that some have a brown
filter tip and some white (I
didn’t even consider the ones
without filters — they just
aren’t suave); some have a
little colored ring around them,
and some have the brand name
delicately engraved across the

servative gold model that
looked somewhat woman-of-the-
worldish and rather chic
fash ion-wise.
So the proper instrument had
been selected. Now for the de-
tails. Soon I discovered that
to carry my gold engraved case,
lighter, cigarette holder, and
other essential apparatus, it
would be necessary to carry a
purse, which is something I
don’t carry, because in the last
three years I have lost four.
I was beginning to see just
how complicated a thing like
this could be— so much equip-
ment to begin with, then prac-
tice, practice, practice to look
really cool; and of course I
would be taking the chance of
stunting my growth in return
for being a great journalist.
(Dear me, but this business
does demand a lot of you!)
I mulled over this problem,
all that journalism would ex-
pect of me, and then, as I
looked at my cigarettes, hold-
er, gold case, lighter, suave
shoulder bag, I knew this was
the moment of decision, the
fatal moment. Would I accept
the demands of this profession
that even extend to my health
and well-being and chance go-
ing through life, my growth
having been stunted by cig-
arette smoking, a 5*7” pygmy?
And at that moment, as I
pictured myself turning green
(which never has been one of
my complexion’s better shades)
I realized I couldn’t do it,
no never, I couldn’t take it.
So it was resolved: I’ll be
