heavily stressed since these factors could make the difference between obtaining a daily cost. of living allowance for the military or doing without for another year.

A Station Per Diem Allowance is authorized in certain overseas areas where it has been established that the cost of living is higher than the Continental U. S. In, order to estab- lish the relative cost of living in a given overseas area, a survey must

Y AND CARE be accomplished. The results of the survey determine not only whether the allowance is justified but the amount of allowance needed.

On the basis of studies made during the past 18 months, it appears that a cost of living allowance is warranted for Hawaii. But a formal survey accomplished in this area about one year ago failed to pro- duce a station per diem allowance.

Accuracy, legibility and adheranee to instructions in completing the forms will provide for rapid and accurate tabulations and valid rec- ommendations to the Per Diem Travel and Transportation Commit- tee in Washington.

All information submitt_d on the survey forms will be treated in a confidential manner, it has been announced.

Ontos Open Fire on Schofield Range In AT Co. Familiarization Monday

Ontos will have an opportunity to demonstrate its firepower Monday when the platoons of "B" Co., 3rd Anti-Tank Bn., 4th Marines. open up on target at 8:30 a.m. at S c ho f i e 1 d BPrrack's "WS' range. The four 50 caliber spotting rifles of each

be followed by the thunderous vehicle will open fire first. to roar of the six 106 millimeter rifles.

The firing demonstration will be more for familiarization purposes than for actual target practice. However, targets will be used. An Anti-Tank Co. working party will erect targets Sunday afternoon on the Schofield range.

After the firing demonstration is completed, sometime Menely afternoon, the unit will return to K- Kay. Maj. R. A. Primrose and a group

of five instructors from the Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Va., began conducting lectures and practical application methods Monday, Feb. 3.

The first lectures and demonstra- tions consisted of familiarization with the suspension, engine and transmission of the hard-hitting Ontos.

Driver training took the spotlight for Tuesday and Wednesday. The actual dri/ing of the M50 is held at Ft. Rase where a course has been set up specifically for use by Ontos Personnel.

Nomenclature, immediate action, bDPPage, assembly, disassembly and unctloning of the 106mm recoil-

less rifles and .50 caliber spotting rifles was the next course of action followed. Technique of fire, loading and firing procedure was also prac- ticed.

Use of the Weapons Control Pan- el, review of the weapons, bore sight- ing and zeroing procedure entails 'he remainder of the course, which ends Wednesday, Feb. 12.

The first Ontos arrived for duty with the 1st Marine Brigade Mon- day, Jan, 13 from Camp Cat:in.

Capehart Project At Beaufort, S. C. Underway Soon

Marines stationed in the Beau- fort, S. C., area will be moving into 1,100 Capehart houses in the not-to-distant future, Headquar- ters Marine Corps announced last week.

The new homes will be shared by personnel of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island and the Marine Corps Air Facility,

I Beaufort. There will be 235 off ic- ers' and 865 enlisted men's quarters.

Additional housing at K-Bay took a long stride last Friday toward the start of construction when bids on 650 Capehart units to be located here were opened at 14th Naval District Head- quarters. The Barry Richards Construction Co. of Studio City, Calif., submitted the lowest of 12 bids for consideration. The California Company bid $8,794,085 on the basic bid item. Six additive bid items including such extras as range hoods and vents, pullman type lavatory, a lawn sprinkler system and electrical dry- er outlets increased the total pro- and a north-south line above the ject cost to $9,160,085.

The second low bid was submitted by Dell Webb Construction Com- pany and Rubenstein Construction Company, a joint venture, of Phoe- and Majors; 137 for Captains and nix, Ariz. who bid $9,137,000 on the pay grade E-7 basic project, arid $9,521,060 on the t ); 434 for pay grades E-6 entire project, including the addl- (TSgt.), E-5 (SSgt.), and E-4 (Sgt.) tive items. with over four years of service.

Based on a recent survey of the Station population, there are over 1,800 eligible married personnel

Editor's Corner Help Wanted!

An editor exhorting a cause to his reading public is often likened to a preacher crusading from the pulpit. The preacher generally has an audience. The editor must rely on the strength of his literary prose to entice the reader through the length of the editorial. Unfortunately, not every deserving body has a sounding board. Take for instance a small group of parents here at K-Bay who are taking an active interest in PTA . . . or more specifically, the Mokapu Elementary School Parent-Teachers Association

The interest displayed by this small group of people, interested in what is happening in education today and aware of the parent- teacher-pupil relationship in education, is keeping the local PTA unit from falling flat on its proverbial face. This, due to a definite lack of interest on the part of an approximate 380 per- son membership.

Seventeen members showed for the December meeting. The January meetirr, attracted 31. These figures include the officials who conduct the monthly meetings. As a matter of fact, the above attendance doesn't constitute a quorum and prevents the PTA from conducting business in a legal fashion. In order to validate the actions of the few who attend, a proposal has been made to amend the present requirement for a quorum.'

Members of the Mokapu PTA should refresh themselves with the following objectives of the PTA:

To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, church, and community.

To raise the standards of home life. To seeure..adequate laws for the care and protection of

children and youth. To bring into closer relation the home and the school,

that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the training of the child.

To develop between educator and the general public nnited efforts as will secure for every child the highest ad- vantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education. "We cannot be completely effective in developing a home-

school partnership in the interest of children until every parent and every teacher of every child in school are members- ACTIVE, PARTICIPATING members-of a PTA group." This statement, taken from a PTA handbook, applies to Mokapu PTA also.

PTA does not mean "Push Teacher Around." And it isn't just a mother's organization. Men are needed and they should attend. The greatest obstacle besetting PTA groups has been the lack of broad support.

The second semester PTA membership drive is underway this month. More members are being sought. Members who have been tardy could partially atone for their absence by contacting a non-member by telephone immediately. Then, in company with the prospective member, attend the next meeting of the PTA at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27 in the Mokapu School auditorium.

What better investment can we make in the future of our ahildren and in America's future than to join in with the people who are already working for solutions that are so badly needed in the broad field of education.

Work Scheduled On `0' Club Lanai Regt. Theater

Construction work will start soon on the theater in the Regimental area and the lower lanai of the Commissioned Officers Mess (Open). Work is in progress on the Kane- ohe Bay end of the runway, it was learned this week.

The contract involving the Regi- mental Theater was awarded Friday, Jan. 31 to Charlie Hoe, Honolulu

' general contractor, and calls for the installation of a sloping floor. Un- der a separate plan, 624 theater- type seats will be purchased and installed in the near future. Floor installation will cost approximately $6,000 and the seats and related work will cost over $16,000.

A permanent roof will be built over the lower lanai at the Com- missioned Officers Mess (Open). Work is slated to start in the next 30 days. A contract, which will cost over $8,000, was awarded last Friday to Podmore and Sons of Honolulu and is to be completed by April, 1958.

Air Station Public Works crews are currently working on the installation of arresting gear at the Kaneohe Bay end of the runway. Arresting gear has already been installed at the ocean end. The arresting gear will be built to drop into slots in the runway when not in use. The work will provide an additional safety feature when land- ings toward the Kaneohe Bay end are necessary. The work will be completed by Station forces.

.............. Chaplain's Corner

By CDR. D. A. SHARP, JR.

A lovely vine which grows near the door of a home had been the subject of much admiration and the subject of much conversation. Recently it was noted that the leaves were turning yellow and falling.

The first thought which came to the mind of the owner of the house was that the vine had not had enough water-so it was soaked thoroughly, But the leaves continued to turn yellow and fall. Next the owner decided that the vine needed some special food. However, after being supplied with special plant vitamins the leaves continued to turn yellow and fall. No amount of water or food would change the condition of the vine. Then it was learned that the loss of leaves and the growth of new ones was part of the vine's nature. Life has its similar periods. What

appears to be disaster overtakes us. Personal disagreements, setbacks, illness and financial "hard times" seem to overwhelm us. Then there is only one thing to do "TRUST IN GOD AND WORK" is a college motto. When we have our bad times if we will but do our best and leave the matter in the hands of God, the freshness, vigor and loveliness of life will return. "TRUST IN GOD AND WORK."

Ki-BAY KIBITZER I bf) bradley

I had to make a trip over the Pali last Tuesday with quite a number of stops included. Station transportation fixed me up with a sedan and the finest driver 1 believe I've seen during many years in this Corps.

When we returned I was in a hurry and neglected to get his name but I'm sure he'll know who I'm talking about. He came here about two months ago from Quantico. Let. rue. re- count what I observed.

Even though I personally was in a hurry and we had a lot of ground to cover, the driver never once exceeded a posted speed limit to my knowledge. Yet he managed to keep pace with traffic and we,got from point to point as quickly as I ever had before.

He was a defensive driver. He never followed too close to the car ahead of him and he anticipated every situation. As a result there was not one sudden stop during the whole trip. Believe me, as far as the passenger is concerned, this is the greatest.

The driver, being recently arrived, did not know the way to few places I had to visit. Brief directions were all he needed,

however. He never missed a turn nor did he suddenly have to change direction.

As a final test, the weather turned bad and we crossed the Pali on the return trip through rain and heavy fog. The driver adjusted to the circumstances.

I've ridden with some pretty fair drivers but I just can't re- all any quite as good as this one. Twenty years behind the wheel

aithout a reportable accident plus a little bit of raciog experi- .nee have bred in me quite a bit of distrust of the other fellow's driving on the highway. I know how easy it is to look the other way a second and end up in a tight spot. I know how often I've managed to escape unscathed because I suspected the other driver was a fool and it turned out that he was.

Anyway, this young corporal was so competent that I even snatched a cat-nap on the way back and arrived at my office refreshed and ready for the rest of the day's business. Thanks.

.

If you think you've seen the former Assistant Informational Services Officer around, you're probably right. Then Lt., now Mr. Steve Bartlett, is back in Honolulu after a three-month visit to the Mainland. Still doing a lot of skin diving and writing, he spends eight hours of his day as a reporter for the STAR-BUL- LETIN.

Many months ago he wrote an article for the WINDWARD MARINE about his first jet ride. Lt. Col. Jack E. Conger was the pilot. I understand a forthcoming issue of SAGA will carry a story entitled "My First Jet Ride" by Steve Bartlett.

I expect to see that by-line quite often in the years to come.

The Air Station's Transportation Division of Public Works Department contributed t25 recently to the Pearl Harbor Mem- orial Fund for the preservation and suitable marking of the Arizona. The division has now received a beautiful certificate attesting the contribution, signed by Adm. Chester Nimitz.

As` I mentioned last week. Sergeant Serge would like some visitors while he's in quarantine. After I wrote that, I went to ,ce him. I found him in row two, kennel 25.

Does he like visitors! He was sitting by the gate looking mighty sad until I came up to him. Then he barked, wagged his stub of a tail and stood up with his front paws on the fence. He acted mighty pleased to hear a few kind words and get a gentle -crate!' on his chin.

Being in the information business I've heard complaints many Ames about the fact that newspapers report an unfortunate dory on the front page but bury the nice at ticles on the inside. Thile this isn't absolutely true, news being a relative matter, here are just enough exceptions to prove the rule.

The answer is very simple. In order to sell newspapers-and hat's what keeps a newspaper in business-it is necessary to

attract readers. Nothing seems to do it as well as a story about human frailty or misery. Since the front page is the newspaper's olvertisement. that's where the stories go that will draw readers.

What I'm leading up to is an answer to those who seem to feel 'bat only people not in the iniitary are attracted by bold head- lines. There arc a number who seem to believe that Marines are lifferent in this respct.

I can tell you it's not so and I can also tell you how to prove 't if you're interested. When a favorable story is in the newspaper, sometimes even on the front page with a big picture, sales on the station are very nearly normal and there usually are plenty of copies left in the self-service stand.

But lets bold headline on the front page mention something not so good and you'll he lucky to find a copy of the paper any- where on the station. This is so. I've seen it proved out dozens of times right here at K-Bay.

The people who arc out to sell newspapers know this. too. As a result. the editions we see here and at other military bases in the Island are what are considered "military editions." They are the editions that are sold on the bases, often the only editions. Therefore they are slanted for military readers.

Rarely is the same prominence given the same story in any bther of the three or four editions published and I have even known a headline story in a "military edition" to drop completely off the front page in later editions available only in Honolulu.

Make sense?

The Kailua high school eighth grader and 28 other Scouts received a total of 47 awards ranging from service pins to promotions.

29 BOY SCOUTS GET AWARDS DURING COURT OF HONOR HERE

Over 80 per cent of ti-Bay's Scout Troop 225 received collec- tively 47 various awards during a court of honor held here last Wednesday evening. Twenty-nine Scouts were presented merit badges, attendance pins. and promotion clasps by Sgt. Maj. George Rose of 4th Marines. local troop committeeman. and Lt.

;Col. Andrew Zimmer, Brigade in- Sgt. Killman Lauded '

spector and Kaneohe troop leader.

At Meritorious Mast Parents of the recipients assisted in pinning on the new awards.

A Meritorious Mast was conducted by the Brigade Com- manding General Jan. 30, in recog- nition of duties performed above and beyond the call of duty by Sgt. Robert L. SGT. HILLMAN Killman, Hq. Co., 1st Marine Bri- gade.

Sgt. Killman, in addition to his regularly assigned duties, performed duties as Noncommissioned Of- ficer in Charge of the Brigade Color Guard. He paid particular attention to the smallest details and accomplished his task in an outstanding manner.

His meticulous supervision, enthusiasm and personal interest during this period produced results 1

that have reflected most favorably upon the 1st Marine Brigade.

Gen A. R. Kier offered his per- '

sonal congratulations for "an outstanding performance of duty."

Randy Crew's promotion to Star Scout highlighted the ceremonies. An eighth grader at Kailua high school, the 13-year-old troop quar- termaster had the emblem of his new rank pinned on by his dad, Maj. Erskine B. Crew of VMA-212, MAG-13. Randy presented his mother with a miniature replica of his new rank.

The following moved up the Scouting promotion ladder: Shan- non Cooper, Tony Hessdorfer, John Chesley, Jack Lindon, and James Gering were awarded first class pins while 18 brother S.outs advanced to second place. They were: Kip Amend, Jerry Avila, Mike and Terry Bube, Tyler Crew, Dick Garing, Craig Hampton, Ralph Harvey, Randy Joubert, Don Langston, Ren- ny Orem, Biff Prince, Clint Robin- son, George and Joe. Sadeski, Gary Shouse, Dave and Tim Wilcox.

Jim Thornton received four merit badges, while Andy ZiMmer collect- ed three more for a total of 17 merit badges. Randy Crew and Jim- my Harte received one each.

Attendance and service pins went to Jimmy Harte, Curtis Hamlin, James Oaring and John Chesley.

Brigade, Station Inspected Today By CG, FMFPac

The commanding general of Fleet Marine Force, Pacific, Lt. Gen. V. E. Megee, was to visit and conduct an informal inspection of the 1st Ma- rine Brigade and Marine Corps Air Station today, according to an an- nouncement at press time.

Preceding his inspection trip to Marine units in the Far East later this month, Lt. Gen. Megee's visit to K-Bay today was expected to include the following scheduled stops.

The general was expected to arrive here at 9 a.m. and receive honors on Dewey Square, rendered by the Marine Corps Air Station. In case of inclement weather, the honors were to be rendered in Hangar 105.

The Station honor guard, com- posed of two platoons, colors and the Brigade band, was under the command of Capt. L. P. Charon.

Following honors, at about 9:10, until 1G a.m. the general was to be briefed by the commanding officer of the Air Station, Col. Jack R. Cram, and members of his staff.

A Brigade briefing from 11 to 11:45 was scheduled to follow an in- tervening visit to community facili- ties and the rifle range. The BOQ mess on Hilltop was to be the site of a luncheon at noon today.

Afternoon itinerary included a visit to MAG-13 from 1 to 1:40; visit to Service Bn. from 1:45 to 2:30; 3rd Bn., 12th Marines from 2:35 to 2:55; and 4th Marines from 3 to 3:25 p.m.

DPI Deputy Supt. to Be Guest Speaker

At Mokapu School PTA Meeting Feb. 27 Mr. Robert R. Spencer, deputy superintendent with the Ter-

ritorial Department of Public Instruction, will be guest speaker at the next regular meeting of the Mokapu School PTA. His topic will be "How the Department of Public Instruction Finances its Education Program." The subject is especially timely in view of President Eisenhower's rec- ommendation to indefinitely post- pone the allocation of funds for the building and operation of schools in Federally-impacted areas, or areas with sizable enrollment of children of military personnel. This was recommended in the President's budget message.

Mr. Spencer's talk will touch on this topic, explaining the signifi- cance it will have on schools concerned.

Mokapu school is still trying to obtain additional operating funds from the Department of Public In- struction, it was reported. The budgetary requirements of the school will be contained in letters which

At the last meeting held, budget requirements were widely discussed and further proposals will be heard. Two proposed changes to the by- laws of the organization were put forward: (a.) To amend the present requirements for a quorum; and (b.) To remove the present stipulation regarding money to be spent by the Treasurer from its present section and add a new section dealing with 'he subject.

Air Station Forces

Complimented by CO The civilian and military comple-

ment of the K-Bay Marine Corps Air Station was commended by Col. Jack R. Cram, CO, MCAS, on its performance during Passive Defense Exercise 1-58 conducted Jan. 24, .1958.

The coloner expressed his appreciation for the voluntary response and active participation of civilian and mi:itary personnel duri.ig the exercise.

"The organization of military and civilian skills into mobile teams which can be effective in recovering from the effects of catastrophe and devastation caused by nuclear ex- plosions is a most worthwhile effort," the colonel said.

He continued, "The wholehearted response, voluntary in the case of the civilian work force, and the real- istic participation during the subject exercise was most commendable.

"The enthusiasm demonstrated made this exercise a success from the standpoint of the opportunity to test our emergency recovery organization and to realize valuable training.

"This exercise and your avid participation should prove invaluable preparation for our next scheduled Operational Readiness Inspection," Col. Cram concluded.

AN OLD AND THE NEW method of transporting cargo are depicted in the picture at left. During the claiis of World War 11, supplies were ferried ashore by LCVP (left) and LCM (right), which left much to be desired in the way of speed :n getting supplies to their desti- nation. Over the slower mode of transportation flies a helicopter of HMR-I61 engaged in a resupply missio n, directly from the ship's deck to the ridge or ground occupied by forging infantrymen during "Tradewinds." Tasks accomplished by HMR-16I during the past year have ranged from saving lives in rescues at sea to operating off the helicopter assault carrier USS Thetis Bay.

- BAY 'CHOPPER SQDN. OBSERVES 7TH BIRTHDAY

By BRADLE) 11's different, this squadron.

(Cs apparent right away. The iskipper drives a pint-sized Cres- ley and a pilot drives a block-

; long, Continental Mark II. The airplanes have rotary wings. Tech-

; niques are as varied 'as need and ingenuity can create. This is Ma- rine Helicopter Transport Squad- ron 161, Marine Aircraft Group 13.

1st Marine Brigade. FMF. seven years old last month.

Commissioned Jan. 15, 1951, at El Toro, Calif, HM1 -161 was the first Marine helicopter transport squadron in history. Since that aus- picious day, "firsts" have been virtually its stock in trade. To the officers and men of this workhorse I

squadron the fact that a particular job has not been tackled before is simply a challenge that must be met.

In the past year alone, 161's jobs have ranged from the "routine" of operating from the only helicopter carrier, Thetis Bay, to transporting Secretary of State John Foster Dul- les. Dropping out of dawn's half- light into the choking dust atop Kauai's thousand foot cliffs with a cargo of Marine assault troops or carrying the Commandant of the Marine Corps from Camp I:. M. Smith to K-Bay Marine Corps Air Station, the ungainly chopper spel- led "mission accomplished" with-

; out loss of life. In fact, saving lives is one of the proudest achievements of the pilots and crews in IIMR- 161.

Since the squadron's arrival at K-Bay in 1955 to join the then 1st Provisional Marine Air-Ground Task Force, five actual water rescues have been accomplished, two of them at night in extremely low visibility without benefit of lights other than the aircraft's own.

Each of these rescues has been accomplished with the Sikorsky

'BPS transport helicopters that are the mainstay of the squadron. The HRS-3s are used for carrying corn- !bat-equipped Marines and for sup- plying them logistically. But in the versatile nature of the squadron. other aircraft are also assigned. There are Kaman HOK-ls for ob- servation, liaison and, if need be, for rescue work. And just to prove that it's impossible to make a rule to fit the squadron, HMR -161 also has fixed wing aircraft, the little OE-1s that, with pilot and passenger. can hover in a 40 knot wind. These are used for artillery spotting, clearing firing ranges, liaison and currently for terrain appreciation training for ground forces.

While the seeming glamour of a movie role, such as transporting motion picture cameras and crews during filming of 20th Century-Fox's "South Pacific" last year. may tend to obscure the mundane routine of thousands of hours spent in accomplishment of its primary mission, the record speaks otherwise.

As "cavalry of the sky" the versatile whirlybirds have been charac- terized as being able "to do anything a horse can do" only quicker

and more effectively. Utilizing het- copters' vertical lift capacity, the Marines Corps has added a 3-D punch to its amphibious attack, making possible strikes from any direction, at any point, in any strength. In this atomic age, the chopper has given to the Corps the means of choosing the point of contact and then hitting the foe where it will hurt most..

should the question arise, "Who 'says so?" Look at HMR-161's trail- blazing achievements. The story of

1 ten WM

LT. COL. TITTERUD

this squadron is virtually the history of Marine helicopter aviation.

The squadron went into action in Korea before the pangs of birth had subsided. As the first helicopter transpor' squadron, "firsts" became commonplace during the development of combat tactics. There was no path to follow since nobody had been that way before.

If the proof of the pudding is in th eating, the proof of military accomplishment Is in the facts. With the 1st Marine Division from arrival in Korea until the Armistice in the summer of 1953, HMR-161 pilots made a total of 18,607 flights in 16538 flight hours.

Lifted during that time were 60,046 personnel and 7,554.336 pounds of cargo. Evacuations were a secondary mission of the eggbeaters but the speedy evacs pos- sibly saved many lives. During the 23 months from Sept.. 1951-July, 1953, 2,748 men were evacuated success- fully.

With the help of VMO -6, a sister helicopter squadron, nearly ten thousand evacuation and rescue missions were completed by the two Marine helicopter units in Korea.

Here at K-Bay. as a vital part of the unique air-ground team that is the 1st Marine Brigade. FMF, the helicopter squadron has vari- ously been assigned to Marine Air- craft Group-13 and directly to Bri- gade in the search for best employment. Now back with the air arm of the Brigade, the officers and men of 161 continue daily training in the same reliable fashion under the command of a pioneer helicopter pilot. Lt. Col. Stanley V. Tittered.

HMR-161's mission is to provide helicopter transport of personnel and cargo for FMF forces during ship to shore movement and within an objective area.

This can be interpreted very simply as "call us if you want some- body or something taken some- where, night or day, peace or war:'

So it is. Working with the Bri- gade's ground element, the 4th Ma- rines, the squadron has set up direction schools to train infantry personnel in proper safety precau- tions and handling of the aircraft close to the ground. The gravel crunehers to whom the chopper is a tremendous boon are also taught to direct the eggbeaters in the field in rough terrain, dense areas and hilltops with speed and safety.

The pilots can, and do, operate their utilitarian craft off land, carrier and LST decks. If the blades will clear obstructions, 161's skilled pilots can come in, unload, reload and take off, even if there isn't a ridge wide enough to land on.

As an added function, the dedi- cated officers and men of Marine Helicopter Squadron 161 are ever ready to answer a MAY DAY dis- tress signal from civilian as well as military aircraft in the area. Working in cooperation with the other military services on Oahu, the squadron has launched its ungainly, airborne beasts of burden and has had them hovering over a water-logged pilot in as little as twenty minutes.

Still a pioneer in the Marine Corps' original concept of the helicopter as the vehicle for vertical envelopment, HMR-161 continues its quest for perfection of techniques that could spell military success in any future conflagration.

With its air and ground teen) members, this squadron is one reason the 1st Marine Brigade packs the biggest wallop for its size of any military force in the world today.

RETIRED ON 22 YEARS-TSgt. Bernard C. Van Blair, center, former VMA-212 assistant ordnance chief, bids friends a farewell aloha following a parade and review with flyover in his honor last Friday morning at Platt Field marking his transfer to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve. Recalling old times spent together at various intervals during the Gunny's long and colorful career are Sgt. Maj. Walter Train, left, MAG-I3 sergeant major and MSgt. Edward Vanhufton, VMA- 212 sergeant major. Entering the Corps in 1936, Van Blair reported to the Old China regiment (4th Marines) and served with the Horse Marines until the regiment's capture at Bataan, Corregidor during WWII. He served in Korea with the 1st Marine Division and earned four stars on his Korean Service medal. Even though Van Blair bid his Marine friends farewell Friday, it's not a permanent parting since he has accepted a position as labor superintendent with Kaiser-Burns Development Corporation of Honolulu. He will reside in Kaneohe. The officers and men of VMA-2I2 staged the retirement parade for TSgt. Van Blair. Col. P. J. Fontana, MAG- I 3 CO, was honored guest.

the lower pay grades will be assigned to duplexes. The building ex- teriors are to be of single wall red- wood or cedar construction. 150 of the "duplex" units are actually separated by an eight inch block wall extending beyond the building line. All units are single story. Thus maximum privacy will be afforded to all occupants of the housing project.

Plans and specifications for the Kaneohe project were developed by Mr. Hugh Gibbs, architect, of Long Beach, Calif. This firm also designed the Capehart Housing projects at Point Mugu and Camp Cooke. Calif.. which were placed under contract in 1957.

The specifications provide for 19 basic floor plans, seven of which are modified by varying the roof lines, producing a total of 26 units having a different appearance. Units on the slopes of Ulupau Head will be sit- uated on terraced lots. Curved streets in the housing project, entered from Lawrence Road and Har- ris Avenue, will form an interesting pattern. In addition, every effort has been made to retain existing trees of six inch diameter or greater so as to provide an overa:1 project which has the appearance of a group of homes rather than endless rows of houses. The special care and em- phasis given to this phase of plan- ning by the architect is considered to have achieved its purpose.

Approximately 80 per cent of the units in each pay group will be three bedroom units, with some two and four bedroom units also provided. Each unit has at least a bath and one-half, with the larger units having two complete bathrooms; an entry hallway, a lanai, carport, utility and storage area, in addition to a generous living room-dining room area. In each ease the floor area is the maximum allowed by law. The construction contractor will

provide a stove, refrigerator and garbage disposal unit in each set of quarters. Other items of furniture usually provided in public quarters will be procured separately with funds made available by the Bureau of Aeronautics.

The construction contract allows 16 months from the date of closing until completion of the entire project: however, the low bidders are optimistic about their ability to complete the entire project in almost half this time, with tte first units to be made available in the late siurmer or early fall of this 1

year. As each group of houses and their related streets and utilities are completed they will be made availa-

j ble to the Government and will be assigned as public quarters.

Upon final acceptance of the project, the Navy assumes the mortgage and buys out the corporation which was formed to finance and build the project. Mortgage payments will be made

I from the money obtained by checkage of the occupants' BAQ allowance. The mortgage schedule calls for amortization ovcr a period of 25 years. at which time the Navy Department will have clear title to the project. Maintenance and operation of the completed units will be a responsibility of the Marine ('orps Air Station, Ka- neohe. The Navy now has 14 active Cape-

hart Housing projects on its books, five of which are located on the Is- land of Oahu. The District Public Works Officer has advertised for Rids to be opened on T.L.rch 5,1 1953 for the 248 units to be located

Camp H. M. Smith. These units, also designed by Mr. Gibbs, will benefit Marine Corps personnel, together with Navy personnel in the t Waikele Annex of the Naval Radio Station.

KNOW YOUR GOVERNMENT The Federal Government is the

largest employer in the world. Ap- proximately 2,000,000 employees in the competitive service staff more than 70 departments and agencies.

Almost half of the workers of the executive branch are employed in direct support of our Nation's air, ground, and sea forces as civilian employees of the Defense Depart- ment.

Nearly a quarter of the executive branch employees are responsible for delivery of our mail. Another seven per cent serve veterans and their dependents.

The remaining 23 per cent handle all of the many other services performed by scores of Government de-

`e'anants and agencies. In one way or another, the work of Federal employees touches every American every day.

LEATHERNECKS OUTSHINE REDSKINS Company Level Flag Football Set for March

The new 1st Marine Brigade sports program at company/battery/squadron level is scheduled to get its feet wet with the introduction of Flag Football early in March.

Top teams will be selected from the company league and will repre- sent the parent command in a Bri- gade league.

Unit teams entered at the Brigade level must remain intact from company/battery/squadron competitions and will not be a composite of the best players in the parent command. A unit team may have as many members as desired.

Since no tackling is permitted, it is not necessary to use heavily pad- ded equipment. The uniform will consist of field shoes or combat boots, utility trousers, scrimmage vests and football belts with flags.

The home team will wear scarlet scrimmage vests and scarlet flags while the visiting team wears gol When a member of the defe team snatches a flag attached to the ball carrier's belt the play is over.

Pacific Ocean, AlMar Tourneys Scheduled Here

The Pacific Ocean Area Basket- ball Tourney is scheduled to get underway here at K-Bay on Satur- day, Feb. 22 and run for four days through Tuesday, Feb. 25.

A Bitty Basketball aggregation is tentatively slated to put on exhibitions during half time inter- missions. The kiddy teams are from Camp H. M. Smith on the Leeward side.

Subsequent to this tourney, K- Bay will host the All-Marina Tour- nament this year.

The Hawaii Marine basketeers will participate in the "All Marine" if they are victorious in the Pacific Ocean Area tourney. San Diego by virtue of its current 26-0 record is a sure bet as the West Coast rep- resentative while Quanta) and Camp Lejeune are staging' a torrid battle for the East Coast berth.

HAWAII MARINE HOOP SCHEDULE CHANGES MADE 1st Bn. Undefeated

Reese and Henderson Star In Runaway Coup At Bloch

Displaying a floor game, backboard control and shooting ability to rival the best collegiate teams in the Nation, the Hawlii Marine Basketall squad smashed the University of Utah 90- 72 in a benefit tilt to aid the building fund of t he Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium before some 5,000 fans at Bloch Arena last Thursday night. Bouncing right back the next night they hung up their 21st league victory with a 95-73 conquest of N. S. Pearl Harbor and then scored two quick wins over Hickam, 70-62, and Coast Guard, 107-46. In Wednes- day night's game the Packers turned the tables on Maj. Ira Norfolk's league leaders, halting their current win streak at 14 straight with an eyelash 77-76 decision.

2nd Lt. John Fannon drew first blood for the Marines in the Utah game and before the Redskins rea- lized that they were up against a close-knit scoring machine, the score read 14-6 in favor of the stamped- ing Leathernecks with only two minutes gone in the first quarter.

With Lts. Reese, Henderson and Julian leading the way, the count was upped to a 51-34 bulge at half- time.

The Redskins made several spirit- ed comeLacks which narrowed the lead but they couldn't keep hitting with any consistency and fell short each time.

2nd Lts. Reese and Henderson made up in hustle what they lacked in height to control the boards for the Marines. Reese was outstanding n racking up high game honors with 27 points, mostly on drives. Hender- son hit frequently on long one- handers and also scored on tip-in

rebound follow-ups points before fouling left in the game.

2nd Lt. Frank Julian turned in an outstanding floor game for the Ma- rines, coupled with some consistent popping from far out to record 18 points and a lion's share of the laurels.

The 'Necks made 19 of 35 field goals in the first half and 17 of 33 in the second for a sensational 53 per cent shooting average.

The next night the Marines took on Pearl Harbor and Maj. Norfolk used his starters for only a short stint as the Navy team had only six men suited up for the game. Jack Mitchell led the second unit to a 42-25 half-time bulge and totaled 24 points for the night. Cpl Johnnie Wilson hit the nets for 14 and Pfc. Lafayette Slaughter hit for 10 to round out the double figure men for the Marines.

The 95-73 win was the Marines 21st against 1 setback in Hawaiian Senior Invitational League play.

Service Bn. came back strong in the third period to knot the score at 24 all entering the final quarter.

The tense, hard-fought encounter reached a climax when, with one second to go and 1st Bn. leading by 4 points, Service Bn. received a re- prieve and was awarded two foul shots.

Boxers Win 3 Bouts Bow h u nters At Shafter Arena

By SSGT. .1. L. MITCHELL

A total of 15 club members turned out for the second consecutiv" Su n d ay afternoon classification shoot here at the K-Bay archery range. on Jan. 19.

Sgt, I. Dvoracek proved the 'point that practice makes perfect when he jumped from the novice to archer class by scoring 181 as com- pared to his 112 of last week.

Congratulations Sgt. Dvoracek and good luck in your attempt at Bowman.

The highest existing classification is Expert "A" which calls for a total score of 330.

Speaking of practice makes me think a lot of archery gear lying unused and gathering dust in lock- ers and closets. Sp,cial Services bought the gear so that it might be used for recreation, not decora- tion; so get it out and use it or turn it back in so that others may have the opportunity to engage in the sport.

The shoot consisted of f iring strings of six arrows at a large (10 inch bull) target, and adding up the scores at the end of each flight until a total of 90 arrows have been shot.

Club meetings will be held on Feb. 4 and 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Rod and Gun Clubhouse opposite the Navy Boathouse.

On Sunday, Feb. 2. the K-Bay Bowhunters held their regular ad- vancement shoot with a good turnout of members present.

Eighteen members participated and were vastly improved in their marksmanship. The only thing holding the success down is the fact that many members have not yet made an appearance this year.

Mrs. Pat DeMar won the wom- en's archer class, beating out Mrs. Jo Eilers.

R. W. Eilers HM-1 took first in the Men's Expert "A" class while Cpl, C. L. Brasson took first in Bowman Class and advanced to Expert "B."

Cpl. J. J. Dvoracek took the top place in the archer's class and also advanced to Expert "B" with a fine showing.

B. Schwarzer won the novice class to advance to archer, followed by H. M. Knouf in second.

Six members of the Bowhunters went on a goat hunt on Saturday, Feb. 1 at Lualualei. No one bagged a goat but everyone agreed that they had a good time climbing hills.

As the saying goes. "Just wait till next time . "

Findirig opponents se, III- to be the toughest assignment fin members of the Hawaii Marine Boxing team these days as pair- ings fizzled in die second 0. B. B. A. Tourney fight card last Monday night at the -Fort Shafter Arena, until only. five of the ' Necks were able to shoiv their stuff as they won three of five, lost a split decision and 'suffered a TKO.

Sgt. Alfred "Rocky" Santiago of the Hawaii Marines suffered de- feat at the hands of Paul Fujii, Veterans A. C., midst the vocal disapproval of fans who thought the split nod should have gone to the unorthodox 132 pound Leatherneck.

Santiago and Fujii, the latter beaten by Luis Molina of the Ma- rines in last week's main go, staged a thriller with toe to toe 'slugging at ring center, The Marine tried to make a boxing match of it but the Veteran's bolter wanted inside so badly that Rocky finally obliged in the third round.

Turning tiger, Santiago threw a left hook that lifted Fujii off the deck in the closing seconds of the final round. Fujii got on a bicycle for the rest of the round and

, managed to elude the stalking Santiago.

The bout was very close and both rated nothing but praise for their punching.

Pfc, George Robinson of the Ma- rines decisioned Thomas Anguay of the Hawaii A. C. in a bout at 139 pounds. The "tank" just started rolling and overpowered Anguay who couldn't seem to connect solid- ly.

Pfc. Raymond Cyrus, also of the Hawaii Marines, won his second straight fight as a varsity team member when he took a decision !from Leroy Parades, Hawaii Youth, Cyrus, who joined the team recently after showing up well in a Kaneohe Bay Smoker, and cam- paigning in the 147 pound class, used his potent double left hook to outclass his adversary.

Flouring that he was slightly behind after two slow rounds, Cpl. Richard Ford of the Hawaii Marines took matters into his own hands in the final round and unleashed a barrage that had the crowd on its feet and yelling for the whole two minutes. He took the round by a wide margin and also the match from his opponent, William Me- derios, Aiea Eagles, 165 pounds,

Pfc. Glenn Nakai of the Hawaii Marines lost on a TKO with a cut eye, at 1 min. 45 sec. of the third round, to Charles Hall, Hawaii Youth at 132 pounds. The lithe Ma- rine was way under weight, 126 pounds, and not operating at full strength. Hall battered him pretty badly until the referee stopped the bout.

AKU-MARINES By MAJ. S. F. LEADER

This past week-end found a great number of AKU Marines qualifying in their two-mile swim.

Many were malihinis to our club ! and a few were kamaainas who were just getting around to making their two-miler.

Among those who qualified were Lt. P. C. Baumgartner, MSgt. C. E. Kinnard, TSgt. R. J. Laurie, SSgts. B, F. Kerslake, C. W. Par- fumorse, E. S. Skultety, L. E. Wal- ker, Sgts. W, E. Jones. S. M. Mel- hoff, S. Rockison, Cpl. T. L. Regern, Pfcs. W. T. Bond, F. T, Grimes and C. S. Lane.

The AKU picnic is all set for 1

p.m. tomorrow, Feb. 8 at the MCAS- 2 beach. The price is $1 per adult and 50 cents per child. If you haven't had a chance to pay your fee as yet and want to join the party, please get in *touch with SSgt. B. F. Kerslake at 73197 or SSgt. J. J. Snead at 72815. These boys have a menu prepared which I'm sure everyone will enjoy.

Since it looks like the AKU bout will be back in the water by this week-end, all hands who want to go diving tomorrow morning be at the AKU boathouse by 7:30 am. to load the boat. It will leave the pier at 8 a.m.

All personnel who will not be able to go out on the boat will be able to to out before the picnic from one of our station beaches with their aqua lungs and maybe bring in for charcoaling some lobsters, fish, octopus or any other denizen of the deep that is edible and will supplement the picnic menu.

be opened until our regular Monday meeting Feb. 17; so all you AKUs get in as many dives as you can before that date and bring up those "BIG" eligible fish to win your- self a trophy or a gift certificate, besides having a fish to brag about.

The word is spreading around that there are several good lob- ster holsis out at Bellows Air Force Base-no lobsters under four pounds -so what do you say AKUs, shall we help clean out those holes and find some new ones that the other folks don't know about.

Around Kaneohe pier is a won- derful place to practice snorkeling and also to pick up a few lobsters I'm told. Mokuleia on the North- west tip of Oahu and Hanauma Bay are other beautiful spots on

lthe island that are worthwhile for ' each AKU member to explore.

Our Safety Committee headed by AKU Vice President, Cpl. T, G. Seiple, has the able assistance of Lt. R. T. Henry, SSgts, C. 0. John-

' son, C. W, Parfumorse L. E. Wal- ker and Sgt. W. E. Jones to help him put our new members through

' the required pool tests. All personnel desiring to become

SATURDAY MATINEE ATTACK OF THE CRAB MON-

STERS-The tender love story of Jennifer and Aloysius, two crabs, who walk the road of life through King Neptune's Kingdom claw in claw in claw. Actually, it is one of the better science fictions to come out of "Tinsle Town." Wondering if Paula Duncan and Richard Garland play the part of crabs in this flicker?

SATURDAY JUNGLE HEAT - Mari Blanchard

and Lex Barker provide the warmth in this one. 107 minutes of it. Japanese espionage in Ha- waii through the fifth columnists. prior to Pearl Harbor.

below-the-sea monsters to special effects of an asteroid. From one extreme to the other. Jeff Mor- row as the hero and Barbara Lawrence as the heroine.

SUNDAY THE UNKNOWN TERROR--clas-

allied as a "horror" film. Can't see anything horrible in Male Powers who has the lead. Co-stars John Howard.

MONDAY BACK FROM THE DEAD-Some-

thing about a "stiff" and a husband with a few other confusing facts about nothing. This flick probably originated just where the title c'-aims. Peggy Castle and Marsha Hunt.

TUESDAY STREET OF SINNERS-This is the

place we've been looking for. All about the "straight" cop who re- fuses to be "crooked." George Montgomery and Geraldine Brooks take the lead.

WEDNESDAY JOE BUTTERFLY-Combines the

efforts of five Army PIO men who try to get their weekly paper out with the story and pictures of the Japanese surrender. A terri- fic comedy that will keep you holding your sides. Audie Mur- phy with the help of Kieko Shi- ms keep you interested throughout the entire movie.
