...Clyde Harris, a carpenter, set up a small lumber plant near Pendleton, Ore. The following year Harris was baptized a Seventh Day Adventist, after having been attracted by the "clean life" led by Adventists of his acquaintance. From then on, his church and his factory were his two big interests in life. A nonsmoker and a nondrinker, Harris taught Sabbath school and rigidly shut down his small plant on Saturdays (the Adventist Sabbath), despite the protests of customers who wanted their lumber deliveries. But he prospered nonetheless. Harris Pine Mills, Inc. became a $5,000,000 business, with three subplants...

Besides the First Division in Korea, the corps has two trained divisions, each with its air arm, waiting stateside for trouble-the Second at Camp Lejeune, N.C., the Third at Camp Pendleton (see color pages), Calif. Boot camps at Parris Island, S.C. and San Diego are hup-reeping steadily away at rebuilding civilian youths to the sunburned, stiff-backed Marine mold, and pumping them into the service...
...Radio) is a cowboy picture without rustlers or a sheriff. Its subject is the modern cowpoke who makes a handsome but hazardous living being kicked by broncos and gored by steers on the rodeo circuit. The picture has some rousing scenes of rough-riding thrills & spills photographed at the Pendleton, Tucson, Livermore, Cheyenne and Spokane rodeos, but the story that runs through these sequences soon develops a limp...
