Continues Even Oversees * 1 1 To prepare for and meet everfchanging battle tactics and condi- ;"i|ions, the training of American soldiers overseas is a continuing process and will be right up to the day Of the unconditional surrender of the Axis, the war department an- 'jBounced. This training includes the battle- ^fcardened veteran just out of the fines as well as the soldier just oft » transport and assigned to a replacement depot. Naturally, it is Hot the same for the veteran as for the new arrival, but it has been designed to integrate and co-ordi- ; Jbate both to produce the teamwork essential to success in combat. As a rule, large replacement training depots are set up in each thea- ;• ter.

Conse- V fluently, his instruction had . to be Vl^.'Such as would meet the basic re- ' :. '*iuiremfnts for any or all theatefS. Nature Likes Red More than half of the flowers of fhs world are some shade of N& Weed Tree Balsa is often described as • "weed tree." It is not found in native jungle or forest to any extent. But it is likely to grow in any clearing. Hence the frequency of its occurrence on abandoned banana plantations. Preserves Traditions The marine corps, older'than the Declaration of Independence, preserves traditions that were established through its activities from equatorial zones to the polar regions. "Esprit de corps" so often commented upon, is as much a part of the individual marine as his uniform. Fringe on the Flag •"tf. S army regulations for ber of years have prescribed gold or' yellow fringe on all United Statep flags which are used as regimental colors or standards. There is no federal law 0£ regulation which either requires or prohibits the use of fringe on the flag When used for general purposes.
