Staff.
Major Sullivan spoke to the
Rotary Club at its noon meeting
in the 49 Room on the occasion
of the 185th anniversary of the
Marine Corps, which was on Nov.
10th. The major traced the history
of the Corps from its inception in
1775, through to the present time.
From its first amphibious opera
tion in 1776, the Marines also par
ticipated in all the Naval battles
and with Washington’s army a

middle Atlantic campaigns of 1776
and 1777.
After the revolution the Marines
were employed in all parts of the
world where the U.S. had an in

bary pirates, and became the first
U. S. force to raise the Stars and
Stripes over the territory of the
Old World. The major pointed out
that the Marines participated in
the War of 1812, and between 1899
and 1918 the Corps participated

campaigns. These included the
Philippines Inserrection, the Boxer

I 'Cr EASIER GOING FOR THE DRIVER AND
I THE IPAD, LONGER LIFE FOR THE TRUCK!
If you don’t think scrapping the front axle has made a world of difference, you
haven’t driven a Chevy in a while. A few minutes behind the wheel and you can
feel why drivers are happier and breakable loads are better protected. But the
biggest advantage of all, you'll realize, is that the truck itself (sheet metal, tires,
chassis components, everything) takes less abuse. With independent front sus
pension soaking up road shock and vibration, the truck lasts longer, goes extra
thousands of miles before trade-in time. Add that to what everybody’s always
known about Chevy dependability and you find yourself looking
at the soundest truck investment you could bet your business on.
A panel and two pickups that put a thrifty air-cooled engine in the rear, the driver
up front and as much as 1,900 pounds of load space in between! That’s more
capacity than a conventional half-tonner. Yet these Corvair 95’s are nearly two
feet shorter from bumper to bumper. Highly maneuverable. Built to last and
bound to save on a busy schedulel
