Lorren Chester, Kraft’s Meat
Dept, employee, clipped the fol
lowing diet from a refrigeration
news magazine. Lorren told us he
felt that those needing to go on a
reducing diet might find this one
helpful . . . We don’t think that
we will try it, tho, as some of the
items might prove difficult to ob
tain. But we will do as Lorren
requested, and pass it on . . .
How To Grow Lean
Next to the scandalous doings
of somebody else, nothing excites
a woman so much as a new diet.

Marine CO Spent War Years In Orient;
Says Marines Have Esprit de Corps
By Miriam J. Angell
Major Charles H. Sullivan, Com
manding Officer of the Marine
Barracks on the Naval Base, is a
tall six feet five inches, and every
inch a Marine. He has a chestful
of ribbons and the Bronze Star
with Combat V and a Purple Heart.
What makes a Marine different?
We put the question to the Major
when we called on the Sullivan
family this past Sunday.
“There are several reasons,” the
Major began. “The other services
tigues for a picnic, sent them off,
and joined us with a pot of coffee.
While we explored her husband’s
career she brought scrapbooks of
pictures and clippings she has kept
through the years, from Quantico
to Korea.
We asked, specifically, what con
stitutes the job of the Marine com
mand on Kodiak? “We have 137
enlisted men and four officers
here. The principal job of Marines
on any Naval station is physical
security, and secondly, traffic con

have a lot more men and they are
more technical than we are. more
spread out in interests. In the
Marine Corps it’s a lot of men
working closely together with one
idea in mind, to stay combat
ready. Also, Marine officers work
with enlisted men more than offi
cers of the other services do. When
a 2nd Lt. comes out of training he
is handed the responsibility of 45
men between the ages of 17 and
21. He has to keep them trained,
dressed and fed. These men are
tough; we have a really rough boot
camp, and when they come out
they are proud they’ve made it.
In wartime we take a Marine and
make him think he’s tougher and
better than anybody else. In peace
time we can’t keep him quite up
to that pitch because he’d be fight
ing everybody who passes. We still
•tell him he’s better than anybody
else, but we have to slow him down
just enough, and yet keep him
combat ready at all times.
“It all adds up to this; Marines
have Esprit de Corps.”

here for the wedding, left for the
mainland Sunday where they will
visit Anchorage before returning
*o their home.
Lt. Weber, who is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Aldor Weber of Dale,
Wisconsin, graduated with a BS
degree from Stevens Point Central
College in 1956, then attended
Marquette University Dental
School where he received his DDS
in 1960. He entered the U. S. Naval
Dental Corps shortly after gradua
tion and his first duty assignment
was Kodiak Naval Station.
A reception, at which Mrs. Bur
nett poured, was held in the Alas

and the bridal dinner was held in
the Driftwood Room at the Club.
trol. One thing I’d like everyone
to know is that we don’t dream up
the orders we carry out. Some
people may think we are too en
thusiastic about our job; we try to
keep a balance and still keep se
curity without annoying people
too much. Of course, another job
that makes us unpopular is the
brig. It’s not just for Marines, but
for anyone who requires confine
ment. My own job is demanding;
I am always on call, day and night.”
Mrs. Sullivan added, “Last week
was the first time in 15 years that
we have taken any leave except
on transfers when we have always
visited relatives. We went to An
chorage and had a nice, quiet
time.”
The Sullivan family likes Kodiak
and is happy about the outdoor
things there are to do, and the
smallness of the base. The Major
said, “For friendliness a small post
is really better. Everybody knows
everybody else, and up here I
know almost all my men by name.
Of course it’s nice to be CO. There
are very few places in the Marine
Corps where a Major has a com
mand.”
We wanted to know how he had
gotten into the Marines in the be
ginning. “Well, I had had two years
of college when World War II
started. A Naval officer told me
the war would be over soon, so I
went down to the Marine recruit
ing station to join up before that
could happen. Four months later
I was on Guadalcanal. I was a
scout with the 3rd Marine Division
and also made the Bouganville
landing. I was enlisted for four
years, then commissioned at the
end of the war. Between 1946 and
1951 there was only one year that
I was out of the Orient; this in
cluded Korea. I probably wouldn’t
know how to fight a war on level
ground if it didn’t have rice pad
dies. I went to Korea with the
First division and landed with the
first wave; later on I was in the
detachment that went up to the
Chosin Reservoir and fought its
way back to the sea when it was
cut off.”
Major Sullivan, who was an all
around athlete in college, National
Jr. College high hurdles champion
in 1940, and a decathlon man, used
his physical abilities to the utmost
