It is paradoxical that some of the people who make up the wealthiest nation in this world seldom take the time to be thankful; in fact, they must be prodded every November into giving thanks. Fortunately, most of us are thankful for "our bountiful blessings," as the Chaplains are wont to say, but rarely do we really reflect on this at any other time than Thanksgiving.

Thankfulness--Thanksgiving, if one prefers--is not necessarily a purely American tradition, although we make more of a to-do about it than most others. Jews, for instance, have been observing a kind of Thanksgiving for more than 5,700 years; their Feast of Passover is an annual expression of gratitude to God for deliverance from slavery and a safe exodus from Egypt.

Other nations, civilizations and cultures have also been observing various kinds of Thanksgiving for millenia; there is considerable evidence that even several prehistoric societies had ceremonies of giving thanks--usually for a plentiful harvest year, but sometimes for a number of other reasons as well.

Of course there are always some Americans who might ask: "What have I got to be thankful for'?"

We do, if we really reflect on the matter, have so many things for which we should be thankful--so many that they would be impossible to enumerate in this limited space.

Perhaps the spirit of American Thanksgiving in this 194th year of our Republic might be summed up: "Be thankful we are Americans!"

-AFPS Editorial

Many of Our feelings toward various institutions and issues are colored by type-casting. Perhaps you have seen the caricature of a Christian presented by the critics as a pale and haggard individual with downcast eyes and furrowed brow. Usually dressed in black with high top shoes and an umbrella.

I resent this picture since nothing can be further from the truth. Joy is a repeated Biblical term which not only affects the inner man but bubbles over in relationships. Too often our Faith is only used in crisis and not felt at the joyous moments of life. We need to realize that God meets us in the center of life, at the effervessence, the party spirit, and. the normal laughing even at ourselves.

To the Christian, joy is a gift to be received, generously given and poured forth from God to every activity which we are involved. In his love to all, He opens the windows of His Grace and lets the light of joy stream down so that gladness can result. This joy is not a frenzy of man in a desperate search. It is part of being awake and aware of life in the fullest extent.

May this joy be yours and Thanksgiving be the positive knowing that "I will sing my Maker's praises and in Him most joyful be, For in all things I see traces of His tender love to me."

Q. "Fort Shafter and Hickam Toylands have a program called Extra Savings Program (ESP). It starts about September and runs through the Christmas holidays. There is about a 10 per cent savings on all their toys. Why doesn't K-Bay's Toyland participate in the ESP Program?"

A. "The Extra Savings Program initiated by the Army and Air Force Exchange System at Fort Shafter and Hickam Toylands is a price reduction of toy stocks from their previous sales price. An on-sight inspection of these two Toylands indicates that actual mark-downs in cost price have been taken; however, there are very few nationally-advertised toys in stock and a large proportion of toys which appear to be last year's stock.

"Comparisons of the prices of toys in the Marine Corps Exchange and the two toylands were made where identical items could be compared and it is noted that in spite of their advertised "Extra Saviivs Program," sales prices of toys are pretty close since the original sales price of toys at Hickam and Fort Shafter were higher than the prices at the Marine Corps Exchange.

"The Marine Corps Exchange policy is geared towards reasonable prices on a year-round basis, commensurate with the requirements to generate sufficient profits to satisfy the needs of the Special Services Recreational Program, capital requirements of the Exchange, and to providea dollar reserve for a new Exchange facility."

touchdown and John Peavey scoring twice on runs of 15 and three yards. Reserve quarterback Y. A. Young closed 1/3's scoring with a 27 yard pass play to Mike Larie for the Demon's final six points.

Player / a ss't . coach Len Morozak cited "MACS-2 played inspired ball all the way. Some defensive adjustments helped us contain their quarterback and we got going. Frank Pastore, Winse Millsap, Joe Colderon, Tom Gallagher and Bill Williams turned in another outstanding defensive effort. Our offensive line did the job in allowing the running backs plenty of room. Y. A. Young blossomed as an excellent backup to I lolton at quarterback."

Words from the Wizards

The Wizards were four for four last week. On 11w year we're 23 for 30, a .766 average. Some big games tomorrow, however, could wreak havoc with the Wizards, as Ops and AMTRACS battle for what could mean the /M1.7. title and Disbursing and /l &MS -24 clash for sixth place. Here's the way we pick 'em:

Station Ops 28, AMTRACS 14-The league's best offensive team (Ops is averaging 43 points per ,came) and the league's finest defensive team (AMTRAC'S has limited opponents to 9.3 points a ,L,atne) lock up and the sparks are bound to fly. tips has been inactive for two weeks while AMTRACS has had little practice this past week be to maneuvers. Still, it stacks up as probably the best game of the year. Both teams have the savvy and desire, but we give Ups the edge for two reasons, Al llarefield and J. W. Ward.

Disbursing 21, H &MS -24-The Dolphins will be going up against a revitalized 114MS-24 offense. li.tMS racks up 6/ points in beating 9th logineers, that's seven more points than IMMS has scored in five previous games. While a clash for iivt/t place may not be impressive on paper, ant-time two teams go at it for anything at stake, 'here's usually some good football played.

MABS -24 45, 9th Eng 12-MARS has won four games in a row after losing its first two games to Disbursing and AMTRACS. MARS can't consider themselves title contenders-yet. A big win here tool will put them in the right frame of mind for next week's game with powerful Station Ops. 9th Engineers, I-5, has nothing to lose by losing and respectability to gain by winning. They're ilium wing and show a lot of determination.

1/3 42, H&S Bde 12- Bde's "Dandy" Dan bugger, a fella with more moves than a Turkish belly dancer, will provide a lot of excitement to onlookers at this one, but not too much scoring dzainst the strong Demon defense. Quarterback Rallis Ilolton and his raiding party will once again lead I '3.

the H&MS attack. Blackstock raced for three touchdowns and had his best day of the season passing, completing 50% of his passes while connecting with Nerby and "Waco" Porter for three TD tosses.

Al Wilson scored H&MS other marker when he ran back a

kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown.

"I was real proud of the team," H&MS-24 coach Art Bonal said. "Johnson, Conley, Wilson, Mike Bell and Mike Brown (Bell and Brown had three interceptions) stopped 9th Engineers...the offense was coming off the field and three plays later they'd have to go right back on. It makes things easy for a coach. This past week we've settled down and I feel we'll go the rest of the way. I have no

doubts about Saturday's game with Disbursing."

AMTRACS-Disbursing

AMTRACS, relying on reserve quarterback Marion Johnson who came on to replace injured ace quarterback Cary Hamblton, smothered Disbursing 26-0 to keep their hopes for an IMFL title alive.

Johnson replaced Hamblton in the first quarter after Hamblton was injured marching AMTRACS downfield on a TD drive which ended 14 plays after the kickoff with Hamblton scoring on a sneak.

Johnson quickly took control in the second period and scored on a 60 yard bootleg. He

LEADING STATION OPS' attack tomorrow against AMTRACS will be Al Barefield (left) and J. W. Ward (80, right). Barefield and Ward have proven to be a solid 1-2 punch which has "KO'd" six opponents this season.

MABS-24 - H&S Bde

MABS-24, sparked by the return of quarterback Bill Birtcil, scored 42 points in the second half and ran its winning streak to four straight games by crushing li&S Brigade 66-14.

Birtcil, who's been out of action for five weeks with an injury he received in the MARS- Disbursing game, came in to replace the injured Bob Jones and passed for two TDs (a nifty 30 yarder to Mike Magers and a

15 yarder to Ramrod Kershaw), scored once himself on a sneak, and directed MABS offense on two drives which ended with 15

and 10 yard TD runs by Charles McIntosh.

Magers put MABS on the scoreboard early in the second period with a two yard run. Before having to leave the game, Jones had tossed once to Dana Yetton for a 20 yard scoring play and carried it over himself on a 20 yard romp. Steve Duddenhoffer added another score on a fine 60 yard sprint.

MABS' coach R. A. Lloyd singled out the defensive play of John Wagner, Gary Basham, Okie Lamberson and Ben Morris, crediting them with "making life miserable for H&S Bde Red Liddell, Jim Marti and Mike Gross did an outstanding job of opening up holes for our backs and providing pass protection."

K-Bay's Arida les clinched their second straight Oahu Military Youth Football League Termite Division championship Saturday at Ft. Shafter as they downed the previously unbeaten Rangers 6-0.

Airdale halfback Carl Sproule broke loose for a 42 yard touchdown run late in the third period to break a scoreless halftime deadlock and give the Airdales the winning margin.

The Airdales dominated the first half of play, allowing the

Rangers only nine plays from scrimmage which netted them a mere nine yards. Final statistics show that the Airdales rolled up 175 yards total offense to the Ranger's 53, keeping to the ball control type game plan.

Seven years after the publication of SILENT SPRING, the American people are aroused as never before to the need for saving our environment from death by persistent poisons.

Several states have already prohibited certain uses of DDT. In a landmark decision, the United States Government has acted to phase out the use of DDT (except for emergency cases) over a two-year period; other hard pesticides are to be similarly outlawed.

Abroad, countries like Sweden have banned them entirely. The fight is far from won, but total victory is already in sight. Read about it in the new books by Frank Graham, Jr., "Since the Silent Spring." We have a copy at the Station library.

Of 1,000 Pounds Of Trash l OWC Notes Anyone who has ever

walked the expanse of beach along the Air Station kicking cans and collecting scraps of paper will be forced to find other ways of occupying the late afternoon hours. The cans and scraps of paper are no longer around.

While the residents of K-Bay sat at home Saturday devising new ways to play with the accumulated beach garbage, K-Bay's Boy Scout Tr000p 225 was viciously advancing through the muck, destroying every last shred and sliver of the remains of dependents' beach activities.

The 35 Scouts started at Lawrence Road and Mokapu Boulevard and advanced

Juggernaut-like to the main gate. With their hunger still unsated, the Scouts turned around and scoured the beach all the way to Ft. Hase. In the five hours they worked at the task, the Scouts collected an approximate 1,000 pounds of pure trash from the K-Bay beach areas. At the rate K-Bay residents work, the litter should be back on the beaches again in less than five hours on any given weekend.

In the interest of fair play, the Scouts have issued a warning. They will attack the North Beach area on Jan. 9. Therefore, the residents of that area have until that time to kick their beer and soda cans and collect their scraps of paper.

The OWC will hold a class in making Hawaiian draped dolls. Liz Newton will teach this class at the 19th hole on Monday at 9 a.m. Anyone interested should contact Liz at 254-3422 and she will give you a list of materials needed.

There will be a shoe covering class today at the 19th hole at noon. This class is free.

If anyone has an interesting hobby or art which she is willing to share with a group please contact Laura Edwards at 254-3938 and she will arrange a

class or group meeting. Anyone willing to share any Christmas ideas please coiitact Laura also.

Drugs

all-of the items will be adopted for general uniform wear.

Both styles of belt were worn by Marines between World Wars I and II, but were phased out in 1942 in favor of the present cloth belts for blouses.

The Sam Brownes being tested by officers are made of "poromeric (corfam) material with metal hardware made of highly polished brass with a baked lacquer finish," said the Corps' Uniform Board, which is monitoring the testing. Each belt is 21/4 inches wide at the waist, with a 1 'A inch shoulder strap cutting across the chest.

The service, or "fair leather," belt for staff NCOs is made of the same material, is just over 1'h inches wide and has no shoulder strap.

Both versions are to be worn outside uniform blouses and through existing belt loops, if possible. Staff NCOs shouldn't have difficulties, but some officer urIorms have loops too small for Sam Browne. So, for them, the belts will have to be worn over the loops, the board said.

The EM will test the belts with all types of uniforms having coats, except dress blues, and ditto with officers, except with whites or evening or mess dress.

About 150 of each type have 'Jaen parceled to HQMC and its Headquarters Bn., and to Quantico, Cherry Point, Camp Lejeune, Parris Island, El Toro and Camp Pendleton. Local commanders will decide who wears the prototypes.

Testing ends July 31 for both styles.

April 30 is the termination date for cap frame try-outs.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING I

task group which presented a

detailed study of drug abuse in the services to a Senate subcommittee last summer.

The study, which was headed by Vice Admiral William P. Mack, also recommended that efforts should be made to provide rehabilitative care for veterans who had been discharged for drug use.

The amnesty program has been in the experimental stages for several months at some Army bases.

Under the new directive, the services are authorized to continue and expand the amnesty programs, on a trial basis, with the following provisions:

Medical assistance will be made available. Action under the UCMJ may be suspended for the unauthorized use of drugs against a person who is sincere in seeking help to eliminate his drug dependence, and who voluntarily conic forward before he is apprehended or detected as a drug abuser.

If the degree or type of drug involvement precludes. rehabilitation and restoration to full duty, a discharge under honorable conditions shall be considered.

Army unit at Fort Bragg, N.C., set up an experimental

amnesty program several months ago with doctors, psychiatrists and unit commanders cooperating to help volunteers shake drug use.

Encouraged by the results at Ft. Bragg, Army has encouraged other units begin their own programs, both stateside and overseas.

Air Force officials report that they have had some success with rehabilitation of drug users--some 200 since 1952- through their retraining group at Lowry AFB, Colo.

The Navy said it expects to discharge about 5,000 men this year for drug abuse, many of which will be for LSD use

The directive also gives specific instructions for the services to begin an intensive drug education program among all servicemen, civilian employees, and their dependents.

All training schools, from basic training for draftees and enlistees through the joint service colleges and schools for career officers, are told to develop programs devoted to information on the dangers of drug abuse, methods of prevention of drug abuse, and in the higher levels of education and training, to the administration of discipline and rehabilitation.
