Lt. Skocpol Scores In Colliers Story

Last February, the WIND SOCK had no idea that it would scoop if nation on a story But that's jast what happened.

Lt Emile Skocpol. VMF-461 pilot, has written a sea story for

•lliers. a national weekly, and the article should be in the mid-August

of that magazine. The story goes like this: The Lieutenant was stationed

Lieu/enant Skocpol surfaced, piping for breath to find the Mid-way bearing down on him at a srisk 20 knots. Paddling furious-ly to avoid the 45,000 ton vessel, Skocpol was struck amidships by 'he bow of the ship and sent skit-ring along her hull underwater. Ht- rolled under the keel and

proud possessors of the coveted Navy "E".

Every year, the Navy awards this prized pennant to certain fighter

squadrons that, by their outstand-ing efficiency, prove themselves worthy of the prized award. This year, Cherry Point's own fight-ing squadron of^the year, through their efficiency, individual coopera-tion and pride taken in their work, were given thiB honor.

Competition for the Navy "E" runs 6trong every year. Naturally, every squadron wants to be best. And when a squadron, while per-forming its daily duties, wins the award not knowing that it was in the competitional race, then that is news. That is the case with VMF-223. In fact, the squadron', which features the toughest looking fight-ing bulldog on its squadron insig-nia patch seen in years, wasn't even aware of the fact that the Navy "E" had been awarded them, until receiving a disptach from the Commander-in-Chief of the Atlan tic Fleet, Admiral H. P. Blandy. congratulating them on their achi-evement. The dispatch read: "The Commander-in-Chief desires to congratulate those ships and air-craft squadrons who by their su-perior performance as integral teams won the Battle Efficiency Pennant for 1949."

For the squadron, being "top man" is not new. During the re-cent Puerto Rican maneuvers, Cherry Point's pride and Joy. set an availibility record of 98.5 per cent that has yet to be equalled. Amid combat fleld conditions and a vigorous schedule of operational activities. VMF-223 established the phenomenal score.

VMF-123 was commissioned on May 1. 1942. and designated as a fighter tactical unit. It was as-signed to use K4U-4 type of air-craft. commonly referred to, and better known as the ever depend-able "Corsair."

Paring the war, the squadron saw duty at 'many Marine battle-

grounds that are now famous names in the history of the Corps and of our country. These places include Guadacanal. Bougainville. New Britian. New Hebrides, Okina-wa. Green Islands, and Samoa Is-

The training period, which start-ed on the eighth of August, is divided into a shore trnininp per-iod at the Naval Amphibious Base

Little Creek, Virginia, from August 8 to 16, and an afloat train-ing period with the cadets and midshipmen embarked in assault ships of the Amphibious Force, At-lantic Fleet, from August 16-20.

make the curve and turned over, first on its side and then on its roof, bursting into flame. Both doors jammed, and the two occu-pants "one unconscious and the other out of his head," were trapp- • ed Inside.

Leaps To Kescne Bunyan Immediately leaped to

the rescue o&the two men. Un-heeding of his own personal safety, the serviceman crawled through a window, kicked the door open and dragged the first man to safety. He then went back for the second victim, and ju%t as he pulled the unconscious man out of the car, the gas tank exploded. Luckily, the two men escaped with only minor cuts and bruises.

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, the sailor and his com-panions "had to hold down the guy who was out of his head." When the ambulance arrived, the three men were removed to the hospital for treatment of minor cutB and burns.

While being intervied by th<« reporter, SA Bunyon, who serves as a boat engineer at the Cherry Point Boat Docks, was very modest about his actions In saving the lives of the two men. His state-ment reads as follows:

"1 got the first one out and gave him to gome other people to take care of. Then, I asked someone to go in with me to get the second one out. They told me to stay away from the care because it was going to blow up; but I told them to go to hell and went back anyway. I got him as far as the door when the car did blow up."

Inside Tip This reporter received an Iniriria—

Tip on the accident from an uniden-tified Marine Pfc., and immediately called Captain Gunness, Officer in Charge of the Boat Docks, to see about interviewing Bunyan. When Captain Gunness learned of the sailor's action, he contacted War-rant Officer Lowery, Adjutant of Headquarters Squadron, MCAS. WO Lowery then instituted pro-ceedings to obtain a special cita-tion from Washington, D. C. for the seaman apprentice.

SA Bunyan hails from Fort Wayne. Indiana, and enlisted in the Navy in November, 1948. follow-ing a tour of. duty with the Army. He has been stationed at Cherry Point since February of this year.

New PX Sales lax Won't Hurt You

B j Jack Mangnni T h e Post Exchange accomplished

in th ree days what they were order -ed to do in a week—stra ighten "out the new sales tax.

Many of the pat rons—especia l ly mar ine—were under the impress-ion that the new sales t ax would up the prices to equal those in civilian stores. That isn ' t t rue .

It is t r ue that some ar t ic les will cost more in the PX than they ori-ginally cost. But you will s t i l l save considerably by buying in in your PX.

The Post Exchange rel ies on your business . Your purchases a r e necessary to make a profit fo r your special services activit ies. So don' t be foolish and buy f r o m civil ian s tores when the PX he lps you in every way.

Merchandise l ike cosmetics, jew-el ry . all powders (foot, face etc.) a f t e r shaving lotions and ha i r dress ings , of the necessi t ies , will be subjec t to the 20% <ax. All merchandise , however, will have to have a tag saying "tax included.

To give you an idea of how much you will save, let ' s t ake an a f t e r shave lotion—Aqua Velva. On

50 cents. The civilian m e r c h a n t pays exact ly the same price aB the PX—27 cents— "and sells it to you for 50 cents .

The PX sold tha t same lotion for 30 cents before, and now you pay 36 cents . The six cen t s Is the 20% tax Simple a r i thmet ic tells you tha t you a r e sti l l saving 14 cents .

If you decide to buy a wr i s t watch, the tax is 10% on the P X retai l pr ice u p to $65 and . 20% over tha t amoun t . On a l a rm clocks, it is 10% up to $5 and 20 per cen t over that amount .

Included in the taxable i tems a re a l k t y p e s of luggage, any foun-tain pen with gold, all deodorants , soap and plast ic tooth bursh hold-ers . s i lver plated or Ster l ing which includes flatware (knives, forks etc.) ho l loware ( t rays or p la t te rs ttith covers e tc . ) , baby oils and powders .

Lea ther goods include billfolds, overnight bags and shaving kits.

Actual ly , the sales tax doesn't mean t h a t you. a r e paying as much as the civil ian, but merely a buck or two more than you were paying. The Pos t Exchange is working in an e f f o r t / t o reduce expenses by ihrewder buying and bet ter mer -

chandis ing /? but in the meant ime you've a d t t o cont inue tp patronize the PX.

Cherry Point 's 1949 baseball sea-son came to a soggy and slippery «-nd last Saturday af ternoon when muddy grounds and poor playing conditions cancelled the scheduled diamond finale against Quantlco.

Originally set to play two games here before the first one was cross-ed from the books, the "Devildogs" arr ived for their single Saturday encounter, only to discover a sog-gy outfield and slippery inner sur-face. Though unable to have a same, they held an af ternoon work-out in preparat ion fo^ their sche-dule contest with Camp Lejeune the following day.

A small crowd was seated ir the s tands behind home plate wri t ing for a possible s ta r t of ac ' ivi ty when notified of the cancellation.

The 1949 Flyer diamond crew ended above the .500 mark a f te r a disas t rous s tar t . Playing nearly three and one-half months of base-ball. the club won 2n and dropped j 21 for a final percentage figure of 544.

Cherry Point 's favorite victim was Memphis NATTC. The Flyers clawed the "Hel lca ts" four times. iwiee by a single run. They also copped four successive contests from weak Fort Monroe, but two were forfeit victories. Agafnst the hapless Monroe outfit, they at tained their largest win total of the sea-son. taking one encounter 21-2.
