A Great Lady Bids Aloha to Station A popular old girl left the Air ved the MAG here at K-Bay, Station last Tuesday afternoon she proved to be a reliable, ver- satile aircraft, well -liked by the pilots who flew her. As a member of VMA-214, she was one of the FJ's that helped tally a notable new record for a single Navy or Marine Squad- ron. Between June 4, 1959 and Sept. 1961, 214's Furies recorded 17,723.2 hours of acitident -free flying. Whiskey Echo 19 was flown from K-Bay to Barber's Point by lstLt. D. C. Mackie. There she'll be readied for shipment to California where she'll be re- conditioned and turned over to a Reserve squadron. The FJ-4 first came into ser- vice at Kaneohe late in 1956 as a fighter with VRIF-232. VMA-212 received the FJ-4B, and she's not expected back- ever. Many watched quietly, res- pectfully as she departed. She ;sell her nose high. She was proud and dignified. Those who knew her well will always hold her in high re- gard. She earned their respect during the more than three years she spent at Kaneohe Bay. In essence, she marks the end of an aviation era at the Station.

What Is a Newspaper?

The News You Read

'Liaison With World' t Members of the Armed Forces of the United States are the

best informed military personnel in the history of the world. All the modern media of mass communication contribute to this healthy condition of a free country. To help you understand your newspaper better, the American Newspaper Publishers Assn. has prepared a series of six short articles. This is the first in the series.

The primary purpose of a newspaper is to bring you the news and enable you to keep that news with you as long as you wish.

In terms of its cost to you. the newspaper costs almost nothing . . .a few cents.

In terms of what a newspaper means to you ... everything. What happens in Paris, Vienna or Cambodia, in the snowy

wastes of Siberia. or the jungles of Africa, affects Main Street, U.S.A., and you-whether you are in the Army. Navy. Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard or in civvies.

People invariably turn to newspapers for information rang- ing from the practical arts to the abstract sciences, for enter.- tainment ranging from crossword puzzles to comic strips. News- papers supply both information and entertainment. Some buy it at a newsstand, others have it delivered to their doorsteps. Some read a morning paper, some favor an evening paper. many others take both. The newspaper is our liaison with the world.

Why is this so? Well. Americans want to know-about everything, and promptly.

U.S. daily newspapers print an average of more than 21!-,2 billion pages a day to satisfy news-conscious Americans. And they do it at a price that permits everyone to own the world for only a few pennies a day.(AFPS)

THE BALL

MAKE 1962

L FIRE Si' YEAR FIRE SAFE YEAR - This New Year's resolution is being suggested by SPARKY of the FOURTEENTH Naval District Fire Marshal's Office. (Official U. S. Navy Photo)

Chaplains Corner

Chaplain P. I. Otis

From the Jewish- Talmud we are given this thought: "When a man has a mean opinion of him- self. then any meanness he is guilty of does not seem outrage- ous to him. If you are more ashamed because of what 'others may think, than because of what you yourself think, then your own self is worthless to you."

If a person is to have a high regard for himself as a person, then it stands to reason that his actions will reflect a self-respect.

For there are certain things we cannot do because we know what we are. And this is related to our religious faith . . . faith at its best has always taught men to respect life's sanctities. Chris- tianity has always been against moral evil, has preached against it ... because it knows what this negative force in life can do to the human personality.

Only when we appreciate the high value or have a high re- gard for something, do we be- gin to deplore its misuse. Only when we have a high regard for our own lives, do we begin to see the effects of moral evil upon it.

Psychiatrists tell us that unless we accept ourselves as individ- uals seeking a rich full life, hav- ing self-respect, we cannot be mentally and spiritually healthy. Only as we rightly love our- selves . . . and have a high re- gard for ourselves can we begin to rightly love our neighbor.

Having self-worth has its beginning in our recognition of our Creator and Sustainer of life. That as we "are the Chil- dren of God, it doth not y4 appear what we shall be." The potential of life finds its great- est fulfillment In a high moral life that continually chooses what is the action to be done. And that what does not appear in fife now . . . can be attained in the future.

The historian, Arnold Toyn- bee, draws this one conclusion from history . . . that it is a series of "challenges and res- ponses." A nation, he says, is constantly confronted with fresh challenges .. . change, invasion, disruption from . . . and it lives only so long as it responds to the challenge. If it loses heart and vision. . . it will die."

Let us accept the challenge of the good in life and seek a higher regard of ourselves.

--OBSERVATIO Swingin' Gal - The lovely lady swinging the golf club in tip

Gas Company ad in last Sunday's Advertiser should look familiar to a number of K-Bayites. She's for real. She's Shirley Poland, wife of Capt. Jim Poland, Station training.

Familiar Scenery - If you've still got the January 19 edition of Time mag, give a closer look to the color ad on the inside back cover, with particular attention to the background. Right! It's MCAS, Kaneohe Bay.

Another Note To Parents - It's getting pretty bad when we have to use this column almost every week to caution on-Station parents about something. This week we make note of the number of young bike riders whizzing around the housing areas after dark without any kind of lights. It's dangerous, It could be disasterous. Closer parental supervision is in order.

First Sergeant's TV Story - Sunday evening's episode of "Follow The Sun," 6:30 on channel 4, will feature the story of a Marine lstSgt. Kolchak. according to available info. Actor William Bendix, many times a Hollywood and TV Marine, will have the lead. We couldn't find anymore on this.

Submerged Assignment - ISO's chief photog. Sgt. Clyde Sim- mons, will do just about anything for a good picture - or a dif- ferent one. Given the assignment to shoot feature photos on Region Marines in underwater sub escape training at the Sub Base. Sim- mons wasn't satisfied until he got down into the tank with his waterproof camera. Results of his efforts appear elsewhere in this issue.

kr,onstant Reminder - A new sign was placed in view of all drivers going off-Station at the main gate this week, in an effort to cut down on traffic accidents. The sign, showing monthly statistics on the left side and the year's total on the right. will show K-Bay drivers the number of all on-station accidents, all accidents involving military vehicles, and all off-Station accidents resulting in personal injuries to Marines. Is your number up yet.

SAFETY REMINDER - A main gate sentry waves a driver through the gate and on his way home, on liberty, or possibly on to number "12" positions on the new safety sign placed on view this week.

Lejeune Synagogue Built When Rabbi Martin Siegel re-

ported to the 2d Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, N.C., two years ago he found that his synagogue consisted of a bare room with chairs and a cupboard-like ar- rangement.

The latter was used to house the Ark-of-the-Covenant and the Torah, a hand-written scroll con- taining the first five books of the Bible.

Today, with the help of vol- unteers of many faiths, the synagogue boasts pews, a wood panel with sliding doors con- tains the Ark, and polished

Equal Opportunity Law, Policies, Prohibits Employee Discrimination It is the policy of the Federal'

government to assure that equal opportunity for employment be afforded all qualified persons and to prohibit discrimination against any employee or appli- cant for employment because of race, color, religion or national origin. Under this policy, segre- gation is prohibited.

On Mar. 6, 1961. President Kennedy issued an Executive Order reaffirming the equal opportunity policy and !Wee- ing that renewed effort be u. - dertaken to realize more fully the policy of non-discrimina- tion. The President's Committee on

Equal Employment Opportunity, appointed prusuant to the Ex- ecutive Order, has initiated ac- tion to strengthen this policy and has revised the procedures for processing discrimination com- plaints.

Civil Service employees are advised that they may file a

written, signed complaint if they have been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, re- ligion or national 'rigin. Station Order 12713.1 and NCPI 713 contain further information.

For example, if a "retread" had collected $400 for his WW II service, $100 would be the maximum he could get for his Korea conflict time, if he had not earned the KSM. Retreads who have earned the

award may collect up to $500 for their Korean conflict service in addition to any amount they had collected for their WW II service.

Misunderstanding of the recent liberalization is producing scores of faulty claims and strong criti- cism which the bonus authorities would like to curb by inviting would-be-claimants to fully ex- plore their entitlement before filing claims.

The City-County Treasurer's office has urged motorists to follow these tips to speed up re-registration:

1. Present your 1961 Honolulu certificate of registration and note any change of address.

2. Pay the amount for 1962 shown in the block at lower right hand corner of your 1961 regis- tration certificate.

3. Checks or postal money or- ders should be made payable to the Director of Finance, City and County of Honolulu. OnLY

checks drawn on local banks will be accepted.

4. If by mail, register early and avoid the rush. In all cases, act before Mar. 15.

Any change in registration, address or insurance should also be noted with the Provost Marshal's (Mice in Bldg. 221.

Advice Committee

For I&E Program A committee of distinguished

citizens has been appointed to ad- vise the Secretary of Defense on matters pertaining to the Armed Forces Information and Educa- tion Program.

When announcing the ap- pointments of the Advisory Com- mittee on Non-Military Instruc- tion, as it is named, Secretary McNamara said:

"The training of our troops is a vital element in our na- tional defense. An important segment of this training is that given in military organization through the Troop Education Programa. "While steps have already been

made to strengthen and improve these programs under the direc- tion of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower, Carlisle P. Runge, both Mr. Runge and I feel that these programs are of such critical importance that we should obtain advice of dis- tinguished and knowledgeable citizens on how we might fur- ther our efforts in this field.'

The committee, headed by Mr. Karl R. Bendetsen, former Under Secretary of the Army, has been asked to give its advisory con- clusions and recommendations as soon as possible. A DOD spokes- man said this would probably he in June or early July. (AFPS)

The First Brigade's 3rd Bat- talion, 4th Marines, will begin departing late next week for a training exercise in the Phili- ppines.

The initial increment, includ- ing supplies and approximately five percent of the personnel, is scheduled to depart Pearl Harbor aboard the LSD POINT DeFIANCE late next week. Re- maining 3/4 Marines are slated to shove off Feb. 8 on the APA TALLEDAGA.

According to Major J. H. Keith, Battalion Executive Officer, the

K-Bay unit will be comprised of around 1500 officers and men, plus vehicles, supplies and wea- pons and supporting units. LtCol. Paul F. Reese. 3/4 CO. and some of his staff are presently in the Far East plotting 3/4's training operations.

The unit is scheduled to re- turn to Hawaii during the lat- ter part of April.

Units departing on the POINT DeFIANCE will include two pla- toons of "B" Company, 3rd Re- connaissance Bn., a detachment of Service Bn., 3/4 Motor Trans- port Section, Communications - Electronics, 1st Light Support Company, Maintenance and Ord- nance-Maintenance.

Also a paltoon from "C" Com- pany, 3rd Motor Transport Bn., Engineer personnel, a platoon of Pio neer s, detachments from Headquarters Bn., "B" Medical Bn., Service Company, Utilities, 3rd Dental Company and 1st Landing Support Company.

Leaving aboard the TALLE- DAGA will be the bulk of 3/4 and supporting elements includ- ing personnel from the 3rd Bn., 12th Marines; MABS-13, Post Office, Informational Services, Marine Exchange and Disbur- sing.

The 3rd Battalion is slated to spend a short time at Oki- nawa before speeding to the Philippines. Known as the "F ight ing

Third," the battalion is famous for its historic actions during the 1927 U.S. Mail robberies and as a protector of lives and pro- perty in Shanghai during the 20's and early 30's. The unit's grittiest hour came at the outbreak of the Second World War when they burned their colors with the fall of Corregidor.

A new battalion was formed at Guadalcanal in 1944. Three- Four carried its banner at Emi- ran in the Solomons, Guam and Okinawa before the war came to an end. The Fighting Third was the first organized force

to land in Japan as conque- rors.

During the Korean Conflict, 3/4 assisted in operation "Come Back," during which they es- corted captured enemy Chinese soldiers not wishing to return to Communist control, to For- mosa, the Nationalist China stronghold.

Deactivated in 1959, the batta- lion came back into being when President Kennedy ordered "beefing up" of the Marine Corpr last year.

Battalion Sergeant Major 0. S. Fargie, Jr., has a special rea- son for looking forward to the Philippines visit. He was one of the original members of the "old" 4th defending the Phili- ppines during the early stages of World War II.

As a guerrilla with a machine gun section, SgtMaj. Fargie, then a corporal, was captured in May of 1942 and confined to a pris- oner-of-war camp at Hiroshima. Japan, and held until released in late 1945.

As he puts it, "It'll be like old homecoming. I just hope they roll out the red carpet for all of us."

Two Olympic Sports Make Their Debut

In 1962 All-Marine Championship Play Volleyball and Soccer have

been added to the lists of sports for the Area and All-Marine Corps Championships this year.

Marine Corps Order 1710.4F establishes the 1962 program for All-Marine, Interservice and Na- tional AAU Championships.

The new program includes only those sports scheduled for the 1964 Olympic Games. The only exception is Bowling.

The inclusion of volleyball and soccer was made to assist the U.S. Olympic Association in de- veloping Olympic sports. It is felt that this will help to broaden interest and participation in these sports.

Headquarters has received re- ports that indicate there is suf- ficient interest in volleyball to warrant its listing in All-Marine competition.

As the order states, "Soccer. although relatively unknown in the United States, provides the

Marine Gymnasts

Make Like Yo-Yos

In Hanger 103 Gym What is the closest thing there

is to a human yo-yo? There may be some argument

about it, but a trampolinist comes close.

Watch an experienced tram- polinist (trampoliner?) bounc- ing up and down, head up. head down, twisting this way and that. It looks reasonably simple. Cer-

tainly it looks like little effort is expended in just bounding up and down.

Get on the trampoline your- self and within five minutes you will discover muscles you didn't know you had. Yoe will discover them because each of those muscles will let you know exact- ly where it is-by hurting.

A thoroughly tiring sport, but also an excellent body condi- tioner, trampolining gained considerable popularity a few years ago with the opening of "trampoline centers" all over the country.

(Some people considered it a new bid by chiropractors after the hula-hoop craze died down.)

The first rash of popularity has died somewhat but many people have discovered the thrill of bounding high into the air and performing flips, loops, twists and other maneu- vers before hitting the elasti- cized canvas and bounding into the air again. The station gym, located in

Hangar 10, has two of these tram- polines.

Pfc. R. E. Carroll, H&HS, is one of the more experienced trampolinists on thr base. He has five years experience, four-and- a-half of which has been in com- petition.

Carroll holds the South Florida Championship and the Gold Coast AAU Trampoline Championship. He is also experienced in tum- bling and "free-exercise."

For Marines and dependents in- terested in becoming proficient on laic trampoline, Pfc. Carroll has volunteered to hold informal classes on Wednesday nights, from 7 to 9.

Those interested will find Car- roll bouncing about the Hanger 103 Gym next Wednseday night.

competition of a body contact sport, requires minimum equip- ment and can be adapted to any size of playing area available."

"Introduction of soccer in the intramural program will provide for the further physical fitness of the individual '-" including the sport in the athletic program at the area championship level will provide an incentive to those not skilled in other sports."

The volleyball West Coast Area Championship, which in- cludes Hawaii, will be played at MCAS, El Toro, on 17-20 April.

The First Annual All-Marine Volleyball Team will be decided at MCAS, Cherry Point May 3-4.

The U.S. Volleyball Association rules will be used in all compe- tition.

Soccer is scheduled for Area Championship play Nov. 13-17. West Coast Area Championships will be d, cided at Camp Pendle- to, . Camp Lejeune is the site chosen for the East Coast Area Championship play.

Teams will be governed by the rules of the International Foot- ball Association (F.I.F.A.) and will meet in a round robin type tournament for the champion- ships.

Bowling, the only non-olympie sport on the All-Marine calendar this year, has been set for May 16-17.

Each command will hold local competition and the results will be forwarded on a letter basis to HQMC.

The events are open to both men and women. Eighteen games will be bowled in increments of six over the three-day period.

Awards will be made by HQMC to the men and women placing first, second and third in both high game and highest total pin- fall.

Why Not Soccer? Soccer has long been a "for-

gotten' game in the United States. Except for a relatively few people from the northeastern section of the country, the ma- jority of the population has never even seen a complete soccer game, much less participated in one.

Never-the-less, It is one of the major sports in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe. It ranks, in other na- tions, approximately where football does in the U.S. The Marine Corps has seen fit

to include soccer as one of the

All-Marine Sports. It is up to us as Marines and as citizens of a nation competing in the Olympic Games to attempt to field soccer teams of Olympic quality.

The best way to accomplish this is to establish intramural soccer competition here at II- Bay. Soccer would be a welcome

addition to the intramural pro- gram. Providing all of the thrills of football and basketball, soccer would also develop individuals who do not excel in other sports.

An article dealing with the rules of the game will appear in the WINDWARD MARINE next week.

Strokes To Record

As Season Opens The K-Bay Age Group Swim

Club has made good showings in the first two weeks of the age group swimming season.

In last Saturday's age group swimming meet at the Univer- sity of Hawaii pool, the K -Bay club piled up 32 points to win fourth place team honors. Ten teams competed plus many un- attached swimmers. Kaneohe Bay winners were:

Doren Smith, 1st, (1:17.3) 100 yd. Backstroke for girls 13-14; the team of Doren Smith, Cher- ry Mikolajczak, Ruth Yee and Kathy Thomas, 1st (2:21.0) 200 yd. medley relay for girls 13- 14; Ruth Yee, 2nd, 100 yd. free style for girls 13-14; Ruth Yee, 2nd, 200 yd. individual medley for girls 13-14; Peggy Hail, 3rd. place in both 50 yd. backstroke and 100 yd. free style for girls 9-10.

The K-Bay team coach, SSgt. Dalton. emphasizes that the club is open to all military dependents between seven and 15 years old. The club works out daily from

four to six p.m. at the Enlisted Pool.

Hawaii Marines Drop Hickam Flyers

In Last HASAC League Basketball Game Hawaii Marines Basketball

item wound up the season last Friday night in second place.

After leading the league for most of the season, they fell vic- tim to a powerful ServPac quint in the last weeks of scheduled play.

The finish was not without ex- citement, however, as the Hawaii Marines edged the Hickam Fly- ers 66-63 in the last league game Friday night.

Outcome of the game was in question right up to the buzzer.

The locals, true to form, stayed only a few points ahead of the Ilickam club through most of the game.

Pichette dominated the scoring for the Hickam club during the entire game. His 13 points at half-time and 22 for the game kept the crowd in Hickam Gym filled with hope to the end. Phil- lips was second for Hickam with 18 points.

Scoring for the Marines was spread more evenly. Allen, Grace and Johnston each dropped three field goals during the first hall.

For the game, Allen lead the scoring with 15, Smalley was second with 14 and Johnston third with 11.

The lead swapped hands a few limes in the first half, but the Marines held the lead after the break.

Ilickam seemed to have the basket's elevation and windage doped right during the first half. The Marines had to make up in the volume of their shooting what they were missing in ac- curacy.

Forty-six trips to the basket netted 15 field goals. Hickam couldn't get through the Ma- rines' defense as often, but were more accurate.

With the first half drawing to a close, the Marines were trail- ing by one point. With only 30 seconds remaining on the clock, Lemon dropped his only score

of the night through the hoop to put the Marines ahead 35-34 as the half ended.

Hickam surges ahead after the rest period. Three-and-a-half minutes after the half started, Hickam led, 42-37.

The Marines rallied quickly and the lead see-sawed. With 6:45 left in the game, Hickam led, 53-52.

A minute-and-a-half later, dur- ing heated play, Hickam's Tate leaped high for the ball. Coming down, his leg and trunks brushed heavily against Ron Johnston's head.

Johnston's ear was painfully torn. He was helped fror the floor and rushed to the dispen- sary.

Gardner made the free throw so painfully earned by Johnston and the Marines came alive.

Help came when Pichette missed two Hickam free throws with the clock stopped at 2:52.

4 New Grid Foes

On Navy Schedule When the 1,62 gridiron season

rolls around next fall, the Naval Academy will play four teams they didn't face on their '61 slate.

According to Capt. Asbury Coward, Navy's Director of Ath- letics, the Middies will face the University of Minnesota for the first time. The three other teams are opponents of past years.

Appearing on this year's schedule will be the University of Syracuse. Navy played the upstate New York eleven in the Oyster Bowl at Norfolk in 1959.

Another returnee, Boston Col- lege, was on the Navy's 1960 agenda. The University of South- ern California faces the sailors for the first time since 1950.

These four teams replace Mi- ami, Detroit, Duke and Virginia.

Navy's 1962 schedule is: Sept. 22 at Penn State; 29, William and Mary; Oct. 6, at Minnesota; 13, Cornell; 20, at Boston Col- lege; 27, Pittsburg in the Oyster Bowl in Norfolk.

Nov. 3, Notre Dame at Phila- delphia; 10, at Syracuse; 17, at Southern Calif.: Dec. 1, Army at Philadelphia.

fouled out. Both teams committed fouls during tbese closing sec- onds.

Fifty-nine seconds were left on the clock. The score was 65-61 for the Marines but Hickam was fighting hard. In the last 30 sec- onds, Phillips dropped a basket for Hickam and Johnson dropped two free throws to bring the score to 63-65.

Hickam ran out of steam and time right there. Allen dropped a free throw for the Marines with three seconds on the clock and there went the ball game, 66 to 63 for the Hawaii Marines.

A fitting finish for an exciting season.

Some Ups:and-Downs During Recon's 'Sub' Training By LCpI. J. C. Schwaninger

Kaneohe Bay's Recon Marines are fast proving that they are indeed a breed apart.

Already faced with range- ling, SCUBA diving, and moun- tain scaling, the local Leather- necks have added submarine escape methods to their grow- ing list of accomplishments. Sixty "specialists" from "B"

Co., 3rd Recon. Bn., recently underwent a three-day training stint at Submarine Base, Paci- fic's 100-foot Submarine Escape Tank.

Split into three increments, the 1st Brigade Reconers attend- ed half-hour escape lectures to familiarize themselves with the process used to deploy troops from subs verged submarines.

In reconnaissance action, it is required that they be able to slip ashore without detec- tion. The Recon Marines are trained in all types of trans- portation to further their meth-

now being sounded to pilots by conventional warning lights. Initial tests of this oral warn-

ing system - technically known as the Voice Interruption Priority System, or VIPS-were made two years ago at Carswell AFB, Tex- as.

At that time the taped warn- ings were spoken by a male voice, but SAC later adopter the suggestion of a pilot that a wom- an's voice, breaking into the su- personic cockpit at 60,000 feet to call attention to trouble, would be even more effective.

The pilot's reaction in terms of seconds is all important in the Hustler which can fly more than 1300 mph at altitudes of more than 65,000 feet. Typical warnings, as taped by

a secretary of the Northrop Corp, which developed VIPS are: "Ice forming, engine oil quality low, rod pin out, utility hydraulic pump failed and generator ab- normal."

Some 20 messages have been taped, spoken with deliberate calmness and clarity and care- fully phrased. No two messages begin with the same word. Such messages will be repeated

until the pilot corrects the trouble or switches the voice off. If more than one malfunction occurs simultaneopsly, VIPS alerts the pilot on a priority-of-importance basis. (AFPS)

hods of entering hostile areas unobserved. Alter Navy divers had instruct-

ed the highly-trained Marines on individual and mass escape tech- niques, the Reconners received their "submarine escape devices," which are similar to life jackets but equipped with valves to re- lease excess expanded air at un- derwater depths.

Wearing the unique jackets, the men were taken to tank-top where they went through' a series of "dry runs." Marines submerged a few feet on ladders and practiced proper exhalation as they ascended.

They went to the 18-foot level for similar ascents. Final quali- fication in the escape course re- quires cpmpletion of two ascents from the 50-foot air lock.

An account of what happened was given by lstLt. J. V. Sul- livan, platoon leader in the com- pany:

"vve were taken to the 50- foot lock, a small chamber a- bout six feet square. The out- side hatch was closed and the lock began to fill with water. When the water reached shoul- der level, it stopped. "After the remaining air in

the lock was pressurized, the hatch leading into the tank open- ed and I could see instructors waiting outside.

"I was first to make the a- scent. I took a breath and step- ped through the inside hatch, as an instructor snapped my belt to the safety cable at the same time. As soon as I cleared the lock, I puckered my lips and be- gan exhaling as I rose to the surface very quickly.

"At about 20 feet from the .4urface. I had the sensation I was out of air, but suddenly my lungs refilled with expand- ed air and I burst through the surface.

"The view was blurred all the way up - I had the sensation that the overhead lights were rushing to me, rather than me to them. The rate of ascent is 350 feet-per-minute, so the whole thing was over very fast.

"My men were a little nervous, but determined. They did a fine job and learned a great deal."

During the 50-foot ascents, 16 instructors remained underwater to guide and check trainees. As a trainee passed instructor's sta- tions, the divers checked to see

When purchasing automo- biles and other large items, personnel are cautioned to read the sales contract completely prior to signing. There have been complaints that dealers have failed to live up to their sales agreements. Remember to "make them put it in writing" prim to closing a sale. All military personnel are also

reminded that traffic summons issued by the Honolulu Police Department must be answered within a 48-hour period.

Failure to answer these sum- mons will result in the issuance of a penal summons by the civil courts.

If a person is unable to com- ply within the 48-hour period because of departure of his com- mand from the area, either porary or permanent, or other military needs, such information will be relayed to HASP for li- aison with local authorities and an extension of time, if warrant- ed.

ESCAPE DEVICE - A Navy Chief instructs Recon trainees on

the virtues of the submarine escape device. The device is similar to a life jacket, but contains a valve which releases excess expanded air during long ascents.

if he was breathing properly. If a trainee stopped exhaling

during the ascent. Instructors would quickly pull him into the nearest air lock until he could continue. Without following proper ex-

halation methods, the Marines would be in great danger of lit- erally exploding with expanded air in their lungs, or at least a serious case of "bends."

Every effort is made to make the training as safe as possible. If anything goes awry, training is stopped immediately to make corrections.

The specially-built tank, the only one in the Navy other than at New London, Conn., holds 280,000 gallons of constantly- filtered water and is 18-feet wide.

Navy Lieutenant (j.g.) Billie L. Delanoy is officer-in-charge

and also trains submariners dur- ing their in-port stays. Concern- ing the Leatherneck trainees, tn. said:

"It's a pleasure to work with the K-Bay Reconners because of their highly receptive atti- tude toward training we offer and because of their constant high level of cooperation and spirit." Reconnaissance troops made

good use of the training as they participat&I in an underwater assault exercise last week. The

!USS PERCH took the Marines

'

to the coast of Maui where they made a buoyant ascent from the

' submarine and swam to shore for subsequent land operations.

Later in the week, the PERCH returned to Maalea Bay to pick

. up the Marines upon completion of the training.
