The Globe Makes its Debut!
M
eet the new, up-tothe-minute Camp Lejeune Globe! Major Gen. Henry I. Larson, Camp Commanding General, has made it possible for the personnel of this camp to have a new, enlarged paper. Thus, the Globe, adorned in its new head-dress, modern type and make-up, makes its bow today as Camp Lejeune’s official newspaper. As Streamlined as America’s newest fighter plane, as smart as the U.S. Marines invasion of the Marshall Islands, the Globe embodies all the best and newest ideas used in the making of leading metropolitan newspapers. The debut of The Camp Lejeune Globe marks the passing of the New River Pioneer, which has previously served the personnel of this camp. With the great expansion program developed at the camp and the increasing number of men and women stationed here, the Commanding General felt that a larger, more complete newspaper was needed to serve the personnel here. The result is The Globe, now in your hands. It is your newspaper, published by Camp Lejeune Marines for Camp Lejeune Marines to inform you, entertain you and serve your best interests.

Any persons who desire membership in the Red Cross are informed that any contributions of $1 or more entitles them to a membership card. BURDEN IS GREATER National officers of the American Red Cross say that, with the decisive stage of the war at hand, the Red Cross must assume a greater burden than ever before, and at the same time must provide aid to servicemen being

“I have been going with the same girl for nine years, so naturally I am waiting for the war to end so I can get married. Then I want to go back to my old job as a policeman. Before I came in the Marine Corps, I was on the Bridgeville Police Department for five years.”
“After the war is over, I want to go back home for more voice training and start on an operatic career. Before I enlisted. I attended the Missouri Conservatory of Music and Dramatics, where I studied dramatics, speech and look up some modeling.”

“I was an aircraft worker in a defense plant before I enlisted, and I’ve always had the urge to travel. After the war is over, when things are settled down and conditions are back to normal, I am going to try to get around and see some of the country, before settling down to anything definite.”
“Before the war I was a radio technician for approximately nine years in Baltimore. When conditions permit, I would like to work for the government in the same capacity.”
Cpl. George McAndrews, Transfer Section Office, Hq. Co., Hdq. Bn., Holyoak, Mass. “I worked fourteen months as a laboratory technician for the American Writing Paper Company. I liked the work and want to go back foreto the same firm when the war is over. Before I do though, I would like to see the good old U.S.A., perhaps and perhaps get to Europe for a while.”

The Red Cross is always at their side.”
