PQBUSHED WEEKLY—CmCDUmON 5000 5 December 1947 New Navy Jet-Rocket Developed

To Probe Sonic Speed Range (SEA)—It's just one step from the Skystreak to the Skyrocket-

let * hat a step tt is. The new Navy plane is radically different in appearance from its

rister plane—the conventionally designed Skystreak. Using, for the first time, a jet-

md-rocket combination, the new aeedle-nosed Navy plane has swept-bsck wings and tail, sleek lines and iicreased thrust. It is expected that the increased thrust will en-able the new craft to approach con-siderably closer* to the speed of >oudl

Powered by a jet-turbo engine. pins the extra thrust of a liquid-fuel rocket, it is expected to per-form in the 650-760 mile an hour class. The Skystreak currently holds the world speed record with a mark of 650.6 miles *>er hour.

TM|Sky rocket, designated the D-5^2. will undergo a flight test program at the Air Force Test enter. Muroc Dry Lake, Calif.,

then be turned over by the Vary to the National Advisory Com-mittee for Aeronautics for an in-tensive research program.

The plane is equipped to take off and land under its own power. Al-most twice as long as it is wide, the tiny plane is tipped by a needle-like lance in the nose which con-

the pitot static tube-for the airspeed indicator system. The tutelage is 45 feet long. The back-ivept wings measure only 25 feet from p to tip, giving the plane tie overall appearance of a sword-lah.

The entire nose section can be •ttisioned for high-Bpeed escape. The cockpit is fitted with refrigera-ion. heating, and pressurization equipment. Aerodynamic brakes on he after pokion of the fuselage furnish control of drag and speed.

Its skin is made of alumminum illoy and magnesium alloy. The plane was originally supposed to be painted the same shade of bright ed as the Skystreak. but the color vas changed to white for greater visibility at a distance.

With the triple aims of straight-ening out young boys, aiding their growth, and acting as a feeder organization to the more senior organization, the Boy Sconts of America, tbe Cherry Point Cub Scouts meets every fourth Thurs-day of the month in the Cherry Point School Auditorium at Have-lock.

Comprised of six "Cub" dens, the boys are led in their activities by MSgt. William H. Marlowe and five den mothers. Though tbe Cubs are divided into six dens, a vacancy exists in the MOQ group because of the lack of a den mother. If there is any woman living in MOQ who would desire to be a den mother for the boys from that area, she may contact MSgt. Mar-lowe at 5183 for further details. Four of the dens are drawn from the Housing Project, one from

Get Your Blues Sharped Up for January 1, 1948

Starting January 1, 1948, Ma-rines on liberty will wear dress or uniform blues, according to the occasion. Letter of Instruction 1508, dated October 13, 1947, stated.

Exceptions to this letter are as follows:

The service uniform may be worn in the immediate vicinity of post or station. Recruits who have not been issued blues until after arrival at the first duty station may wear the service uniform.

In summer months when the summer service uniform is au-thorized for "on post wear" it may be worn in lieu of the dress or undress uniform on liberty. When the summer service uniform is so worn, officers will wear the jacket

When proceeding between quar-ters and place of duty and while making incidental stops en route, the service uniform may be worn. Also, the service uniform may be worn while absent from the post doty if the occasion is one which is not primarily that of "liberty."

Marina Corps Hymn Marks 100th Birthday

Washington, D. C., Nov. 28—The traditional Marines' Hymn, world famous marching song of the Leathernecks, is being heard more and more as its One-Hundredth An-niversary approaches, but history discloses that tke tune has been on the "Hit Parade" before .

The Hymn, which was written by an unknown Marine la 1847, will be featured nationally during its Cen-tennial Week, December 7 to It. Its melody Is believed to come from an old Spanish folk song, but the same melody was used In the French opera "Genevieve de Bra-bant" by Jules Offenbach.

Featured in the opera as a djiet between two gendarmes, the tune swept Paris in 1878 when the opera was widely acclaimed and ran for "hundreds of nights." It was first performed in Paris in 1858.

("Time" magazine has recently reported that the Marines' Hymn has been popular In Russia.)

Although the French were fami-liar with the melody of the Ma-rines' Hymn, it caused some con-fusion during the first World War.

©lint iimtr Uniform ^leallg jflltnns In civilian newspaper -work the old adage ' when man bites dog,

it's news" defines the unusual in the news. In the military when an ex-Army sergeant who is now a prominent dailjt columnist tips his hat to the Marine Corps, that IS news! The prominent columnist and ex-Army man who so gallantly paid homage to the Corps was none other than the well-known, widely read Henry McLemore.

During the inflammatory discussions of the Marine Corps' position under the then proposed Armed Forces Unification Bill, McLemore jumped to bat (or the preservation of a strong Marine Corps in his

.column, "The Lighter Side" published by McNaught Syndicate, Inc. Again this year. November 10th, as the Marine Corps observed its

172nd Birthday, McLemore paid the Marine Corps one of the finest tributes lt has ever received. As a salute to the Corps and to the gallantry of columnist-ex-sergeant, Army of the United States, Henry McLemore. the WINDSOCK quotes his 10 November column in its entirety.

"I am glad I saved my little sol-dier's cap.

"I threw away my trousers, my coat, and my combat boots. The government took up my M-l rifle, my carbine and my long drawers.

"But out of it I saved my little cap. It's ringed with the \}lue rib-bon of the infantry. I'm glad I saved my l'*.tle cap because I want to tip it today. I want to take off that cap in honor of the only fight-ing organization in the world that Is better than the infantry.

I want to tip my cap to the ma-rines.

Today the United States Marine Corps observes its 172nd anniver-sary. From the time the marines were authorized by the Contin-ental Congress up until today they stun^ as America's finest fight'ng men.

"Any man who fought for his country has pride for the outfit he was in. Men who flew planes will swear to you that the air corps had the best guys. Men like me who walked down the dirty long road will argue all night,, that the rough end of the stick belongs to the infantry. Sailors will tell you that the navy won the war and that sea power is everything.

"Yet when a marme walks into the room you gotta shut up. be-cause his heart beats to the tune of a son? that's been proved to be on the level. Let the children sing "Near You" but when a marine sings or whistles, he whistles or sings of a story of bravery that ha=s b-vn matched, perhaps, but never outgone.

"The marines walked into Guade-loupe in 179$ and they didn't spare the blood. They added 'The Shores of Tripoli' in 1S04. and in 1847 they wrote Montezuma into their hymn. I could get very senti-mental about the marines but I'd rather put it this way:

"The, marines never land after a

place is secured. They never come in with cans of fruit cocktail in their pockets and they have never known in time of war what it is to assauU a volley-ball court. The marines, if you are following me, are the gents who come in first. When they lower the boats the marines jump in. If you don't know how dangerous or rugged the coral is, the marines can tell you. They have been there. The fresh blood and plasma Is late but the marines donl wait until it gets there. They are the Americans who look at it. don't like It, and say to themselves. 'Let's get a toe-hold for the other boys.'

"This may be treason to the blue that I wore on my cap bnt the marine is a better soldier than the infantryman. He's meaner, and that's what makes for a good soldier.

World War !I is slipping into the mist of yesterday and we Americans are forgetting what so many men did for as. Even dismal honk of the ship bringing back the war dead does not arouse us. Men who gave their lives for this country are being buried while we fret over Meatless Tuesday and Eggless Thursdays.

Yet I declare that in any marine encampment in this country, or wherever marines are stationed, throughout this world, shoes are shined. rifles are cleaned and the bugle's call will send them t j the fullest fulfillment of a citizen—the defense of his country.

"The marines' motto, if my Latin teacher didn't lie to me. is Semper Fldelis. To my knowledge a ma-rine has never violated that motto.

"I hope that this is a- tribute to the marines. If I had a son. and he lived up to the marine tradition. T

as a father, could ask no more, be-cause I would be the father of a

; man."

By- Frances Howell Have you ever dreamed of build-

ing your own place in the country? The editers of Popular Science have already assumed that your answer will be yes, and they are just one step ahead of you in the pifblication of How To Build Cabins, Lodges and Bungalows. Here' is literally a gold mine of informa-tion—over 250 pages of simple in-structions plus 200 diagrams, plans and illustrations. Everything can be done by yourself without pro-fessional help—and for a fraction of the usual cost. After you have chosen the house you would like to own. then follow the simple out-line to learn how to lay a founda-tion, build and calk walls, lay floor boards and shingly roofs— not to mention the step-by-step in-structions for building porches and garages, constructing fireplaces and chimneys and even installing plumbing and lighting. All of which, of course, adds up to work —and fun!

In Men of Law William Seagle has done for lawyers what Durant did for philosophers in his famous "Story of Philosophy". He has made the history of law colorful and intelligble rather than dull and uninteresting. The parade begins with Hammurabi, the Babylonian lawgiver and codifler. Then along comes Solon of Athens whose strong suit was administration. He in turn is followed by quite a gal-axy of great legal minds—Hugo Grotius. Sir Edward Coke. Cesare Bonesana. John Marshall, and finally our own Oliver Wendell Holmes. It is in his discussion of Holmes' career that Mr. Seagle leaves the past and looks toward the future of law. He concludes

with the thought-provoking state-ment that . . whether socializa-tion can be accomplished without violence and the rending of the fabric of society, must depend in large part upon the number of men who are likes Holmes".

Next Greer Garson picture to be on the look-out for is "Julia Mis-behaves," . . . The nation's theaters had a banner week this past week with "Fewer Amber* sUll running away ahead of the field. "Seag el Leve" has moved solidly into the second position and is followed by such pictures as "^aceaquered", "Magic Trwn," "It Had Te Be Tea," aad "Christmas Eve." . . . The new feminine fashions, widely discussed pro and con, will form the basis of the new Metro picture "The New Leek."

Where: anyplace a storj occurs Why: because he 'studies the correct methods and applies them

properly. Here you have a newspaper lead broken down into the convent-

ions! five "W's" of news writing. Combine them and your lead reads simply "A newspaper reporter always knows how to get his story any-place a story occurs because he studies the correct methods and ap-plies them'properly." Although this lead is complete as is, it might essily become more comprehensive by adding a statement classified under the word "how," often llstfed with the five "Ws." For example: "The Marine Corps Institute can teach him these methods."

the managing editor to the copy boy is contained in the textbook. The Geaplete Reporter. The Journalism student will find the steps in pub-lishing a newspaper carefully described and will be given the oppor-tunity to step In and take over his own "beat."

DEVILDOGS Tally Twice in First Four Minutes of Play To Swamp Cherry Point Marine Eleven, 47-0, In

Thanksgiving Day Game

5 December 194

Quantico, Va., Nor. 27—Display-ing tue well-rounded offense and pertinacious defensive tactics that have made them the outstanding East Coast service eleven all t son, the Quantico "Devildogs" punched across two touchdowns in the first four minute* of play to-day and scored at will t6r the inaining 56 minutes to swai.ip the visiting Cherry Point "Flyers". 47 to 0.

The stubborness of the "Devil-doms" in yielding any grouid Is evidenced by the fact that the locals were able to gain only 43 yards in 29 attempt* to advance the ball on the ground. * When their ground attack failed to work, the "Flyers" took to the air, bnt again were stopped in their tracks by the hard-charging Quantico line. Only one pass in 16 was completed

by the losing eleven, that tor seven yards.

Much credit must be given, how-ever, to the outclassed visitors, whc never seemed to know the mean-ing of the word "die." Although it

Barrin^tor took the opening kickoff on his own 25 and returned to the 43. Bartos slashed off tackle for four yards, and took a pass from Flores on the next play

was apparent from the outset of j for a first down on the Cherry the lop-sided tilt that Cherry Point was playing far above their heads, they n»ver stopped fighting—not even aiier it became evident that the Quantico gridders were going to run up as large a score as they possibly could.

Former Navy-ace, Joe Bartos, led the Quantico attack, but was press-ed hard by such ball toters as Jack Place, Frank Pucylowski, Don Clement, and Glenn "Doc" Barring-

Point 35. Barrington, Quantico, fullback, took a hand-off from Flore*. picked up some beautiful interference and powered his 35 yards for the Initial score. Messina's try for point was. wide of the uprights.

Herble Gholson, who continually drew applause from the spectators with his booming runts, took the kickoff snd, had he not slipped would have advanced further than

"bpjwhmq cflp&tlb

ton. Rudy Flores. although not a the 14 behind good blocking. The consictent ground gainer, set up "Flyers" gained only four yards many of the Quantico pay-dirt- on three running plays, before marches with his accurate passing.

STOPPED AT V1DFIELD. From (he look oa Herble Gholson's fare and the position of his clenched fist. It seems as though he might be abont ready to resort to vloleaee to stop "Doe" Harrington—Jast la case Norman Boadreaa and Fraak Walllngoa cant ^rlag him dowa on the »0.yard llae. Watching the play are Kea Wells (partially ebseared by Gholson) and Berale Weakley (Sf).

Gholson punted to Bartos on the "Flyer" 42. Bartos returned to the 30 and on the first play from scrimmage fumbled for a two-yard loss. Again Flores faded to pass, found his man—halfback Art S<;hmagle. who had wpaved In be-hind the secondary—and Quantico's second touchdown was a matter of history. Again Messina's place-ment was wide.

Cherry Point's Pat Patrias re-ceived the kickoff and returned to the 16. Unable to gain any ground. Gholson punted to Bartos on the Quantico 40. The "Devil-dogs" notched two first downs, but were finally halted with a fine goal-line stand on the Cherry Point six.

Early in the second stanza, after having taken Harold Lau's punt on the Cherry Point 48 and re-turning same 10 yards. Don Clem-ent circled his end. cut in behind some interefrence and scored standing up. Clement failed to notice Lap creeping up behind, and he was ahn •** pulled down

By Jlauay Cnm CHERRY POINT-QUANTICO DOODLING8 . . . Said Bob Addie, noted sports columnist of the Washington Ti»,

Herald, of the Cherry Point gridders during the half-time ceremo^, at last week's Cherry Point-Qudntta) tilt: "Although this Cherry team is definitely outclassed. I hsve never seen an underdog team ^ up such a flgh nor display such spirit" . . . Addie's statement was r». echoed W the "Flyer" dressing room following the game by Capt. gj Berry, local coach. . . . "I'm proud to have been able to work with m fellows this season." he said. . . . "Everywhere we've gone your spirit has been admired by opponents and spectators. . . . You felio*, are the spunkiest, most-spirited group I have ever worked with. I imagine It's my fault that we lost so many games this year, and T( like to say I'm sorry. • . . This is the last time I'll see many of yot; many of you will be discharged in the next week under this new Aijjir . . . Thanks, fellows." . . . With that, Capt. Berry turned and head for his room. . . . This scribe was watching the proceedings, and % the time the coach had finished talking, there wasn't a "dry eye" fc the room. . . . That. Dear Readers, is known as "spirit." . . . QJ course, few Cherry Point football enthusiasts would know the meanly of the word. . . . It was near-freezing weather at last week's gaa*, yet some 3,000 Quantico supporters, including Maj. Gen. Cates, Brit Gen. Smith. Col. Pollock (Chief of Staff) and numerous other hig ranking officers, sat in the stands—'till the final gun. . . . Had tW game been held at Cherry Point under the same climatic condition* it s a safe guess that very few so-called fans would have beea in «. tendanc. . . . Now that football has taken a back seat to basketball it's a foregone conclusion that the "Devildogs" will have one of the top hardwood quintets on the East Coast. . . . Quantico basketball coach. Lt. Col. Honsowetz, told me that this year's team will be equal

U not better than, last year's club. . . . You can bet your l« dollar that whether the team is' a howling success or whether they dtvf every game on their schedule, the support will not decrease. . . . Tim column has stressed the importance of "jpirit" and "team support" » less than a dozen times in the past. . . . But still, there is absolute!; no spirit at Cherry Point—unless the particular varsity team happen to be winning all of its games. . . . It's time for Cherry Point personnel to "wise up" and realize that without their support no team—good cr bad—can be a winning team.

POINT MILITARY PERSONNEL TO SELECT OWN ALL-AMERICA ELEVEN It's All-America time!' The grand climax to every foot-

ball season are the honors be-stowed upon high school, college, and pro gridders in the form of being chosen to All-State teams. All-Professional teams, and above all. All-American squads.

Possibly the best known of the All-America grid teams is the one picked each year by Grantland Rice. Ranking close behind are the squads picked annually by LOOK Magazine. COLLIERS. SAT-URDAY EVENING POST, and the DAILY NEWS.

Inasmuch as the military per-sonnel at Cherry Point represent a cross section of the nation, it's

America team. So. here's your chance to •eice your opinions as to who should be named an All American. \

For the next four weeks, the form (below) will be printed In the WINDSOCK. You. the military •personnel, are requested to fill out the form and turn it in to your Sergeant Major. Tear or clip the form from the WINDSOCK and. before handing it to your Sergeant Major print or type your name, squadron and home town on a separate piece of paper and attach it to your entry.

Points will be counted accord-ing to team position (e.g.. first team selection will receive five points:

felt that they know their football second team, three points: third well-enough to select their own All- team, two points: Honorable Men-

tion. one point), and when the final tabulation is taken, players with the greatest number of points will be placed on the first team, etc. The final team will be an-nounced in the January 16. 1948, issue of the WINDSOCK.

After the All-America team is named, 'scrolls bearing the name of the honored players, will be sent to the college and the player himself, announcing his election to the Cherry Point All-America Team.

Stories and pictures will be run in the January 23. 1948, edition of the WINDSOCK. announcing the three Marines who came closest in

Last July. Maj. Gen. Ralph *J. Mitchell, then Commanding Gen-eral. AirFMFLant, Cherry Point. N. C.. landed a large mouth bass in one of the small branches of Han-cock Creek. When the fish was weighed, it was found that the seven - pound, eight - ounce verte-brate animal was the largest ever caught in Hancock Creek.

But, along came Lt. O. W. Curtis. Special Services Supply Officer, and with a hand-made fly. he land-ed—on October 25—a large mouth black bass, weighing seven pounds. 10-ounces. and measuring 25 4 inches, an inch-and-a-half longer then the one landed by Gen.

| Mitchell. The fish, which battled for nearly

j 25 minutes before being brought to the net. was landed with a fly rod and six-pound test leader.
