Beaufort Rotary Adopts Project ' A club forum on community ?ervice occupied the attention of Beaufort Rotary club members last Tuesday night. Led by Glenn Adair, club presi dent and program chairman for the evening, the group discussed services to the community, one of the four main Rotary services. The group decided to re-adopt the community building on Pollock [ street in Beaufort as one of the club's projects. Usually described now as the Scout building, this building was originally a Rotary project. In line with Rotary policy of establishing such community enterprises and then giving it into the hands of competent groups, ! the building was then turned ofer | to other sponsors. However, the Rotary members feel that the building is not being ! properly and fully utilized at this | time, and they hope by re-adopting I it as a project to make fuller use I of its facilities. The members of the group de cided that they would at this time try to satisfy two aims in re gard to the community building. They hope to get it cleaned up, keep it clean, and advertise the fact that it is available to anyone wishing to use it. The building, which has kitchen facilities, is now being used for kboth Boy and Girl Soout meetings, but it may also be used for indi vidual parties, suppers, as well as for organizational meetings. A report from committee mem bers asked to investigate the con dition of the chairs, tables, and general cleanliness of the building will be heard at the next Rotary meeting. A report also on possible arrangements for a long-term con tract with a man employed to keep the building uf will be heard. Re ports on needed improvements will be acted on.

They have corpamen. And they have nearly 1000 of tbem to each division as well aa 72 doctors. "They are trained to do their work at the froot lines. And they are the last to leave the front lines. And, of course, many of them never do leave the front linaa. They die there. "But, like all other Marines, dead ji- . ...4 1 .. or alive, they are evacuated." There were more than 8,000 cas ualties, some of them corpsmen and doctors, in the 12-day with drawal period.
