MARINES TO SHARE IN
AUGUST DRAFT
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Defense Department today call
ed for the drafting of 41,000 men
in October—5,000 for the Ma
rine Corps and 36,000 for the
Army.
The total for the month is an
increase of 6,820 over that pre
viously asked for September,
when the Army is to gel 28,000
and the Marines 6,180.
The Marine Corps resorted to
the draft in August for the first
time since the start of the Ko
rean campaign.
Under the call, October will be
the third month of drafting for
the Marines.
In the August-Ociober period
the Marines expect to draft 18.
180 men in addition to obtaining
recruits through a continuing
volunteer program.
The October call for 41.000 is
the highest monthly draft quota
since March when 80,000 men
were requested, all for the
Army.
Drafting dropped to a low for
the Korean war period in July
when only 15.000 men were in
ducted by the Army.

150 AT SATURDAY DINNER
At least 150 tickets were sold,
and many dinners were served
to guests who had not bought
tickets beforehand for the Le
gion Auxiliary dinner last Sat
urday night, according to offi
cers of the Auxiliary today.
A breakdown of the heating
plant caused a shortage of hot
water in the kitchen, making
dishwashing a slow job. The
men pitched in to help, however,
much to the gratification of the
weary ladies. Pots and pans
were finished up the next day
by the fellows, who were ex
perienced by reason of past ses
sions of KP. The girls didn't
mind a bit.

SHEEP-KILLING GRIZZLY
FELLED BY CANADIAN
BURNS LAKE. B. C.. (AP) —
Old Red, the sheep-killing griz
zly bear of the Cariboo, is dead.
A rancher’s quick wit—and
Old Red’s appetite for mutton
—did him in.
Farmers of the interior Brit
ish Columbia area laid the
slaughter of 29 sheep in two
months to the roan-colored var
mint.
Cyril Shelford and Old Red
met face to face Monday night
when the rancher went to drive
a flock of sheep to the corral.
Shelford had only a short club
for a weapon.
He threw it at the menacing
bruin, then dashed for the corral.
Old Red followed before he
could slam the gate.
With his footwork faiing him,
Shelford resorted to headwork.
He sprinted toward an injured
ram, hoping it would divert Old
Red. It did. The bear stopped
and killed it.
' Shelford reached the house
and returned with a rifle.
He poured 20 shots into Old Red
before the beast fell dead on its
final charge. Shelford has a col
lection of claws as a souvenir.
Each is more than three inches
long.
