Vietnam Fighters Have Low Regard For Protest, Local Marine Maintains The. fighting men m Vie tnam have a low re g a rd for p ro t e s to r s and d emo n s tra to r s in th i s country, according to 'a local Marine who ju s t re tu rn e d f rom a ten-’n io n th s ’ Stint of d u ty in the war-ridd en Asian country. He is Cpl. Michael J. Reed, UtSM'C, twenty-one, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Reed, Rothsville. He said our forces know wha t th e y ’re fighting for — “ to stop the spre ad of Communism',’’ and when they re ad ab out the p ro te s t ors in the papers i t made them disgus ted and mad. Their job ip Vietnam, however, is mad e doubly hard, Mike said, because a lthough the South Vietnamese wanted our help, they a re so backward th ey d o n ’t u n d e r s ta n d wha t it.-is all "bout. He says t'he V-C (Viet Cong) tell th em one thing, and we tell them an o th e r , so they d o n ’t know wh a t to think. They d o n ’t fully realize, he said, th a t it, is to stop the spre ad of Communism. They d on’t have weapons, exlcept wha t the U.'S. gives them. Many of the enemy, he said, are only 14 and 15-year old boys, and a re made to fight by the Viet Cong leaders, the local ¡Marine said, adding th'at these boys a re t e r r o r ized by th e i r leade rs who th r e a te n to kill them and th e i r families i f they refuse to flight. Physically, he said, th e Vietnamese . a re very small — the men average only about four feet, nine inches. Cpl. Reed feels it will be a long war because the enemy i s co n s tan tly on the move, the opposite of the s i tu a t io n in Korea whe re the two sides fought back and fo r th across a well-defined line. Now our forces have to chase them a round, he said, and th e i r positions may vary a mile a p a r t in ju s t a few hours .

Lititz will hire a “water sme lle r” in its efforts to find a new supply of water for the borough, councilmen agreed at their meeting Tuesday night. D. Curtis Amidon, council president, said that Levi Yerg-er. owner of two lots where the borough plans to test for water, recommended -they hire David King, an Amishman who lives near intercourse, to do the job. Yerger himself is a successful ‘water smeller.” Their procedure is more modern than th a t Of the famed “water dowser" of by-gone days Yerger explained when contacted yesterday. He said he and King use pliers instead ot the traditional forked peach-wood twig, and tha t when the pliers have “smelled” water, they turn downward, ju s t as -the peach twigs did. Yerger said tha t he has used the pliers for water smelling since 1939, and has located as many as 200 wells per year, among them one which flows a t a ra te of 400 gallons a minute ne a r the Zion Home where wa te r can be purchased for as little as a nickel for two quarts from a dispenser. King likewise has had excellent results, it was stated, an d has been hired as far away as the P i t t s burgh area to find wa te rT-"“ Amidon said th a t Borough Manager George D; «Steedle will a rrange a date, probably ja Saturday, for the water smelling experiment so th a t I all the councilmen can go ¡along. The members expres sed | great inte re s t in the idea, and I w t e willing to give i t a try. j Anv findings will be followed i up by the wa te r engineers. The borough is considering the purchase of one o r two lots for new wa te r wells, both owned by Yerger. One is a t the corner of North Locust and New Streets, ju s t nor th of the Locust Stre e t bridge next to the Santo Domingo Creek. The other is a triangular-shaped lot on New Street. They are seeking a well which would provide 300 gallons per minute-, i If they are successful on the I first drilling, they will have it I checked out. There is always i the possibility of getting only i a dry well. Council authorized the spending of up to $3500 to drill not more th a n three holes. When wa te r is found, it will I be pumped for 48 hours, and i water would be tested.

The area will be inspected periodically. A similar re q u e s t , f rom Keller | Bros, was delayed u n ti l such time as council members can examine the property. Abram Foltz, 122' E.

Vietnam Fighters Have
Low Regard For Protest,
Local Marine Maintains
The. fighting men m Vie tnam
have a low re g a rd for
p ro t e s to r s and d emo n s tra to r s
in th i s country, according to
'a local Marine who ju s t re tu

Stint of d u ty in the war-ridd
en Asian country.
He is Cpl. Michael J. Reed,
UtSM'C, twenty-one, son of
Mr. and Mrs. George Reed,
Rothsville. He said our forces
know wha t th e y ’re fighting
for — “ to stop the spre ad
of Communism',’’ and when
they re ad ab out the p ro te s t ors
in the papers i t made
them disgus ted and mad.
Their job ip Vietnam, however,
is mad e doubly hard,
Mike said, because a lthough
the South Vietnamese wanted
our help, they a re so backward
th ey d o n ’t u n d e r s ta n d
wha t it.-is all "bout. He says
t'he V-C (Viet Cong) tell
th em one thing, and we tell
them an o th e r , so they d o n ’t
know wh a t to think. They
d o n ’t fully realize, he said,
th a t it, is to stop the spre ad
of Communism. They d on’t
have weapons, exlcept wha t
the U.'S. gives them. Many
of the enemy, he said, are
only 14 and 15-year old boys,
and a re made to fight by
the Viet Cong leaders, the
local ¡Marine said, adding
th'at these boys a re t e r r o r ized
by th e i r leade rs who
th r e a te n to kill them and
th e i r families i f they refuse
to flight. Physically, he said,
th e Vietnamese . a re very
small — the men average
only about four feet, nine
inches.
Cpl. Reed feels it will be
a long war because the enemy
i s co n s tan tly on the move,
the opposite of the s i tu a t io n
in Korea whe re the two sides
fought back and fo r th across
a well-defined line. Now our
forces have to chase them

positions may vary a mile
