"WHEN DEATH C By SIDNEY HARRIS

(Reprinted by permission of Gen- eral Features Corporation, 250 Park Avenue, New York.)

Last night I met a young man who has just spent two years of his life lying flat on his back in a hospital bed, following an automobile smashup that mi- raculously turned out to be non-

;fatal for him "You know, I had a lot of time

to think," he said, "and I believe that our whole emotional approach to auto accidents is wrong. The Na- tional Safety Council, and the other agencies, are emphasizing death too much."

"Why do you think this is wrong?" I asked.

"First, nobody really believes he is going to die. Death is something that happens to other people. Even when I was a split-second away from the truck I crashed into, I thought to myself, 'Nothing can really happen to me."

"Secondly," he continued, "many people are fatalistic about death.

SSER EVIL" They step into a car with the attitude, 'if my number is up, then It's up.'

"And thirdly, there are some motorists who are self-destructive and don't know it. They actually have a yearning for suicide, which they disguise for themselves by driving fast and recklessly.

"For these three reasons," he

pointed out, "the safety appeals that are based on the desire to live, and the fear of death, are pretty in- effectual. It's time we tried something else, and I think I know what it is."

"And what is it?" I prompted.

"The fear of being disabled," he said. "The fear of being crippled or

gram was in effect in the past, local Navy officials realized something was lacking in the drive to save lives. Consequently, the Navy High- way Patrol was organized and put into action.

Working with complete cooperation with military and public officials of surrounding communities the chief objective of the patrai is to prevent military personnel from violating traffic regulations on Con- necticut highways.

Adm. Burke, in a message to the sub base, said, "This record could only have been accomplished through a well organized and thoughtful campaign and with the supaort and cooperation of many people it local municipalities, in the state administration and the several Navy commands." In an effort to cut down on night

An amazing fact is that of the 7,000 Navy men stationed al: the sub base, a high percentage are in the 17-25 year old group. This is the group that insurance companies consider a completely unstable risk, the group that.ls at the age of "ir- responsibility on the highway."

Little League Needs Your Help; Report Jan. 13

A meeting of the prospective MCAS Little League officials for the coming baseball season will be held Monday evening, Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of Mo- kapu elementary school.

The turnout at last week's meeting left much to be desired. Any- one who is interested, regardless of rank or experience, is urged to attend.

Administrative officials are ur- gently needed for the league, as well as coaches and team sponsors.

The only ones being hurt by a lack of interest on the part of pa- rents and others, are the boys

who have so much to gain in the way of sportsmanship. health, learning to lose graciously and generally growing up: all of which are aims of the Little League organization.

Help make the coming summer a fun-packed and rewarding one for both yourselves and K-Bay's boys and lend a hand in getting the league set up.

Ontos-Greek word for "thing" - is an eight-and-a-half ton tracked vehicle which generally resem- bles conventional tanks and com- bines exceptional firepower with mobility. Its speed and great ma- neuverability make it a valuable hit-and-run vehicle.

The M50 (Ontos' official name) carries six 106mm recoilless rifles, four .50 caliber spotting rifles, and one .30 caliber machine gun. When the spotting rifles find the target the 106mm guns au- tomatically are fixed on the target. They can be fired singly, in pairs, or hi a six-gun salvo. The crew consists of three men-

driver, gunner, and ammunition lorv'er.

Maj. Ft. A. l'rirmose, and a team of five instructors, from Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Va., is due to arrive here in early February to give members of Anti-Tank Co.,

instructions in the operation of the new hard hitting "thing."

The course of instruction is ap- proximately two weeks long. During the first week, basic fundamentals of the vehicle and its rifles and many hours taking the Ontos over an intricate driving course make up the schedule.

The second week, anti-tank Ma- rines concentrate on fire-power, bore sighting, spot-firing the .60

caliber, and finally, firing the 106mm. It is said to have a blast that will "jar your fillings."

An unusual aspect of the tracked weapon is that, although it is si- milar to a tank, tankers will not be assigned to man it. The 145

Air Sta. Effects Force Reduction

The recent area wage increase for ungraded Civil Service employees has necessitated a reduction in force of 24 positions at this Air Station, it was announced here Monday.

The wage increase for so-called Blue Collar workers which was effective Dec. 16 amounts to approxi- mately $40,000 per quarter at this activity. Since additional funds are not available from the Bureau of Aeronautics it is necessary to effect a reduction in force to enable the Air Station to remain within: its budgetary limitations.

Notices were sent Monday to those employees in positions which department heads have decided must be cut. At the present time, this Air Station has 527 Civil Service employees.

Editor's Corner

The Devil May Care "Amazing!" said the .reporter. "That's right Buster, I just tell 'em to drive like the Devil

(that's me, naturally) and they generally listen." "All of them?" asked the reporter dropping his pencil. "Course not Bub, I've got other ways of knocking 'em off. You

gotta remember the majority of them are sharp drivers ... plenty sharp . . . not too easy to knock. off as many as I do, keeps me busy. Now Sailors and Marines are my specialty . . . fast when it comes to reflexes, but I out-smart 'em. They are always in a hurry to get there, never start back on time, never safety check their cars, drive like their shirttails were on fire, weave in and out of traffic, pass on curves and going over hills. Yes, I have a system that works.

'Faster, faster, just a little faster, I whisper. Soon they're 'over the speed limit. Then, I make their eyelids heal,: . . . keep going, keep going. I say. When I can, I make the roads slick, .slicker the better, use fog too when I can. They take little chances .at my urging. The rest is history and headlines.

"So long Boy, he seeing you in the morgue."

Be a Good Driver Driving a car can be a real pleasure, or it can be a tiresome,

nerve racking ordeal. It depends a great deal on you, on how you drive, and on the condition of your car. Whether you are making a business trip, taking the family out for a ride, or operating a commercial vehicle, you can get pleasure out of driving by observing good practices. It doesn't cost any more, and it may save you a lot of worry, personal suffering, and financial loss.

Take it easy when driving, but form the habit of observing road and traffic conditions. It is less wearing on your nerves and temper to keep out of a had driving situation than to get out of one.

Children may dash out into the road. Other drivers may do something unexpected. Older people may have slower reactions than you have allowed for. But it is easier to anticipate such possibilities and allow for them titan to face the consequences after an accident.

blinded for life. Safety propaganda should point out to motorists that they might not be 'lucky' enough to die right away.

"The chances are greater that they will be permanently crippled, and become a burden to their families or to the state. They may be condemned to a living death, which most people find more repugnant to think about than the swift ob- livion of actual death.

"Dying is a concept we avoid think- ing about, because it is so immense

and mysterious. It is almost an ab- straction. But a broken back, or twisted insides, or amputated limbs -these we can understand and reject with a shudder.

"Nobody wants to be helpless and utterly dependent, withering away in a hospital ward.

"I thought about this a long time after my accident," he stood up and grasped his cane, "when I felt I would never walk again. Why don't the safety posters tell us that death can be a lesser evil?"

CMC AND FXFPAC GOAL-6 PER DENT

.. Chaplain's Corner

By FATHER CONNELL J. MAGUIRE

A sea captain, noted for his rigid discipline, came upon his first mate lying drunk. Later the captain wrote in the log book: "Last night First Mate Jones intoxicated."

This entry in the log rankled Jones when he taw. it, He wanted to get back at the Captain. The opportunity came when it was his turn to write entries in the log. He wrote "Captain Smith not drunk tonight."

This of course, was true but the intention of revengefully harming and the effect obtained was evil. Rarely do we lie about our neighbor, but how much harm is done by re- peating things that may or may not be true. It is so easy to cast suspicion on the reputation of another, to judge him rashly, to spoil his good name. Someone once said that the tongue had inflicted more wounds in the world than the sword.

It is good to remonstrate with and correct a friend face to face, or to warn a friend about the fault of another if our friend is in danger from it. But to reveal in idle gos- sip the shortcomings of others is to no good purpose.

We could compare such a use of the tongue to a double edged sword We harm our neighbor and we ae- tract from our own character. Con- versely, by the proper restraint and charity in speech, we help our neighbor and we are ourselves en- nobled.

K -BAY KIBITZER by bradley

Front early school days right on through life, mud' is said of sportsmanship. This word describes an attitude that is as valuable in everyday relations as it is on the athletic field. There- fore, it is well worth developing.

The new CG, FMFPac, Lt Gen. V. E. Megee, is a great be- liever in sportsmanship. He has even gone on record in the daily newspapers on this subject. So it behooves us to take a look at ourselves, whether as participants or spectators, and see how we're doing.

Participants usually are good sports. They just about have to be or they wouldn't last long in most cases. While it's great to be a winner and the drive to be on top is what sparks the individual, the team, it isn't always possible to snag first place:

As good, unreliable human beings, we are disappointed when the "breaks" go against us and the first reaction often is to try to sneak one over on the officials or to resort to name calling when no other means of venting disappointment appears.

This attitude gains us nothing but contempt and maybe some regrets later on. These manifestations are the widelz-recognized signs of a poor sport.

Particularly in the case of spectators, poor sportsmanship is a sorry thing. One or two hooters can get the crowd stirred up until a whole rooting section turns into a jeering mob. The rea- -on for the sport, the thrill of the sport are lost in the frenzy of finding new ways to hurl indignities upon players and officials.

Poor sportsmanship displayed by Marines is in the "unthink- able" category. It puts a black mark against the individual but, worse, it nails that mark to the Corps. It can take the lustre out of a win and turn an occasional loss into total defeat.

Sure we're out to win, if we can. But, more than that, we're out to play. We're out for a sport for the fun of it, fun shared by the players and the spectators. Let's not lose sight of this for a minute. Good, loud cheering is great. Hoots, catcalls and epithets are not.

Maybe I understand the picture better than some because I was on the short end so long I either had to be sporting or turn in my suit because I couldn't stand it any longer.

For some unaccountable reason my favorite sport was a grueling one in which the team plays a part but where the individual is mostly on his own. I was a track man in high school and college. Principally, I was a cross country runner.

The training course was five miles-every day. The collegiate meet course was seven miles. Training is rigorous and one sandwich at the wrong time spells disaster.

I ran and ran and ran. There always was somebody in front of me. But I felt that my day would come and the coach was satisfied as long as I continued to finish. I wasn't the anchor man but I usually was in a good position to take over if the anchor man fell by the wayside.

Then my day came. It was the biggest meet of the year. We were running against RPI. We were on their course with which I was only vaguely familiar. After the first couple of miles of some pretty stiff up and down hill running, I had eased into the lead. I had my second wind and I felt in great shape. There were three or four of us leading the field by a nice margin when we topped a hill on one of the city streets and started down the other side. I must have been carried away with the thought of success. On that downhill stretch I extended myself a little too much and pulled muscles in both legs. The pain was excruciating but I wasn't going to give up easily.

Mile after remaining mile I strained and sweated but steadily dropped back. I wouldn't quit. When 1 finally reach the stadium I made it across _the finish line and collapsed. I had finished and I wasn't the last man in either. But I was finished with track. My abdomen was taped, my legs were taped, I spent hours on massage tables and for weeks I'd wake up at nigh_ with muscles cramped. It was months before the last ache dis- appeared.

I think it was worth it. I had proved to myself that I could take it but, much more than that, I had learned to swallow my bitter disappointments and to be able to congratulate sincerely the man who won. I learned that there can be satin action and pride in finishing as well as winning. I learned to enjoy and appreciate the battle rather than the spoils. Who knows, maybe the other man won because he knew I was back of him and going to stay there. That was my contribution to the team and the school.

I suspect that's why I understand this ethereal thing called sportsmanship a little more than some.

Most of the personnel in the informational Services Office went aboard Groote Beer Saturday afternoon for a moonlight cruise, a trip well worth taking.

The Groote Beer was built in Holland for Herman Goering but the wily builders didn't cotton to the idea so they dragged their feet until the war was over. Tile craft measures a bit over 50 feet from bow to stern and has a very unique appearance.

She's a real beauty, both inside and out. The main cabin is richly appointed and includes wall to wall carpeting. A fireplace is a feature attraction.

Under full sail with a bright moon over the water on one side and the myriad colored lights of Waikiki and Honolulu on the other side, the trip is one to remember. In my opinion there is no cruise on the water that can equal the pleasure to be derived from the beauty and serenity of sail.

If you're interested-and I highly recommend it- Special Services has the full scoop and also picks up part of the tab.

500 EM's to Receive Commissions Under New Educational Program

Five hundred enlisted men trained in the field of science will be added to the ranks of the Navy and Marine Corps as officers annually under a new educational program announced recently by Secretary of the Navy Thomas S. Gates. Beginning with the school year 1958-59 that number of enlisted men will

be enrolled in civilian institutions of higher learning for a four-year course leading to a Degree of Bache- lor of Science and to commission in the Navy.

Emphasis will be placed on math- ematics and the physical sciences. During summer vacation periods, the students will be assigned to Navy laboratories and other scientific es- tablishments to study application of the sciences.

Community Chorus Of Windwardites Now Being Formed

A Windward Community Chorus is in the making. Any Windward resident who loves to sing or who now sings with a choir or barber- shop groun has been extended an invitation to attend an organizational meeting Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the Educational Bldg., Central Union Windward at the junction of Kalaheo and Mokapu rds.

Dr. Gerald Erwin, music consult- ant of the DPI, a Windward resident, is willing to organize and di- rect a community group, pointing toward a Spring or Easter program featuring something like the Easter section of Handel's Messiah.

For further information call Mrs. John Rolfes, 255764 or Mrs. Robert Craig, 256-598.

The basis of selection of enlisted men for this higher study will be intelligence and aptitude. Those con- sidered qualified but who lack suf- ficient high school credits for college entrance will be given opportunity to earn those credits.

Students will receive the pay and allowances of their rates while attending college. They will be required to remain on active duty as officers for a period equal to the time they are enrolled in the program.

A selection board consisting of naval officers and civilians experi- enced in the field of education will be convened to pass upon applicants for the new program.

Pole Climbing Equipment Modified

By Brigade Marine; Earns Praise Sgt. Norm Iledgeeock, an instructor at the 1st Marine Bri-

gade Communications School, borrowed an idea from the Ha- waiian Telephone Company's 'linemen which has prove,. to be an ideal safety factor for leatherneck wiremen. The device was tested exhaustively by members of the Brigade school.

Hedgecock modified a pair of Marine Corps pole climbers (LC-5) by sharpening the gaff (a triangu- lar shaped hook) at an angle which gives linemen an advanced degree of agility and confidence in

olimbinig the tree - like struc- tures.

T h e modified climbers present a greater safety margin by allow- ing the wireman to position him- , fj self for comfort

HEDGECOCK and work. The regular issue equipment prevents men from keeping their knees in close or shifting their legs for comfort, and at times often causes the gaffs to be dislodged.

"In comparison to the unmodified LC-5's, the new ones are about 90 per cent safer," said Sgt. Iledgecock, who added, "It's very good in training new wiremen since there is little chance in 'burning a pole' (gaffs slipping out and causing the lineman to slide down the pole).

Only a file is needed to make the change on the LC-5's sail. The change can be made at no ex- tra cost to the Government ex- cept time, commented Hedgecock.

Designed primarily as an ex- tra safety factor, "the modifica- tion is by no means to supersede standard safety regulations in use," stated TSgt. Vernon I. Bowen, Comm School director.

The Brigade Communications- Electronics officer drafted a letter to Headquarters Marine Corps requesting adoption of the modified pole climbers. Brig. Gen. A. R. Kier, commanding general of the 1st Marine Brigade, commended Hedgecock in a letter for his professional interest and initiative displayed. The sergeant was also commended by Lt. Gen. Ver- non E. Megee, commanding general, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific.

A MERITORIOUS MAST, conducted by Col. ..'ack k. Cram, CO, MCAS, last week cited SSqt. Richard A. Bailer, then MCAS legal chief, for performing his duties in an outstanding manner. "During your four, you have constantly displayed those talents of initiative, thoroughness and cooperation which are necessa.y in youi field," the citation reed. S3gt. Bailey devoted much of his off -duty time so that court martial reports, correspondence and various other reports would be completed on time. SSgt. Bailey and his family departed last Fri- day for MCRD, Parris Island, S. C.

MODIFIED AND UNMODIFIED- The gaff on the pole-climbing equipment at left is the modified version. The 'loin+ has been filed down, resulting in increased agility on the part of the pole-climber, plus more comfort while working aloft. The equipment at right is regular issue which frequently be- came dislodged causing linemen to inadvertently slide down the pole on which they were working.

Comptroller Dept.

Absorbs Disbursing The disbursing branch of Marine

Services Division, Supply Depart- ment, was incorporated Wednesday, Jan. 1 as a division of the Comp- troller department of the Marine Corps Air Station.

With the move, the comptroller department now has control of all fiscal matters aboard the Marine Corps Air Station. July 1, 1957 the Fiscal division of the Navy Supply and Fiscal department was transferred intact to the administrative control of the Compt:oller department.

The disbursing branch, which was operating in the Marine Supply structure, was then incorporated into the Marine Services Division of the merged Supply department.

Current head of the disbursing branch is Maj. Samuel F. Leader.

No change or reassignment of personnel is expected to result from the transfer of the Disbursing branch to the Comptroller department. How- ever, organizational charts and functional statements will be modified to reflect the reorganization.

'/CITIZENS NOW' CONFERENCE NETS 200 EXPLORER. SCOUTS

By SGT. JIM WOOTEN "What's this . . a mass in-

va.,ion?" Hundreds of local Leather-

necks made the same query in reference to the 200 Explorer Scouts who attended a three-day encampment in a "Citizens Now" conference at this Windward Ma- rine Corps Air Station last weekend.

However, the Scouts, who had accepted the invitation of Col. Jack R. Cram, MCAS commanding officer, were on board for the purpose of finding ways of applying the respon sibilities of citizenship in the jet and space era.

Kaneohe Marine transport planes airlifted 52 Explorers from the "Gar- den lee," Kauai, Thursday while Station shuttle buses brought Scouts from the main gate.

Kauai Scouts conducted the opening ceremonies in Mokapu School auditorium. Honolulu Po- lice Commission chairman George Q. Cannon urged the delegates "to respond to the privileges of the home and community" in the key- note address. The conference moved along rap-

idly on the second day as the Ex- plorers started a busy schedule packed heavily with addresses by noted dignitaries and highlighted by discussion groups in the Station theater.

In the morning, the young men hear d the Honorable Farrant I. Turner, Secretary of the Territory of Hawaii, stress the importance of "gaining a higher education."

' environment. The Sputniks have shrunken distances to a point where

Iwe are not orLy our brother's keep- ers; we must help our country to help other countries to live peaceful- ly and cooperatively, or face mutual disaster.

"Higher education is essential," said the Secretary, who added, "good scholarship goes with good citizen- hi ."

Immediately following Mr. Tur- ner, Mayor Neil S. Blaisdell of Honolulu emphasized the "tre- mendous responsibilities Islanders have in showing others the Amer- ican way of life, particularly-the teenagers.' Later the Scouts embarked on a

tour of the Station. From Kansas Tower they got a "bird's eye" view of the surrounding area. Explorers also witnessed ordnance and fire fighting demonstrations staged by K-Bay Leathernecks and inspected airc:aft .end survival equipment of

MAG-13 and Marine Corps Au Sta- ti

However, it was not all work for the campers who found time to make full use of the recreational facilities available here during their free time. Whi.e aboard K-Bay, the Scouts

ate with Leathemecks in MCAS desshall No. 1 and sleptin, the en-

. listed transient quarters. Kaneoh Explorer Troop 225 served as guides for the delegates.

Prior to departing the Station, the Scouts expressed hopes of return- ng to Kaneohe for another encamp-

'ment. Their conference chairman, Toma Taralci of Honolulu, termed the conference "a success." Mr. Ha- zen Shower, Aloha Boy Scout Coun- cil executive, and the Explorer lead- ers complimented Col. Cram on his avid and sincere interest in the Scouting program and commended Capt. Edward P. Mertz, MCAS en- gineering officer, for the many tasks and arrangements he handled which enabled the encampment to run _.:cothly.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Head- quarters Marine Corps last week warned all personnel and dependents of the danger of certain issue eye glasses.

It said many plastic optical frame, are high:y combustible.

Although action has now been taken to issue only non-combustible "slow-burning" materials, many of the flamable cellulose -nitrate types are in circulation.

The following cautions should be exercised: 1-Keep glasses from contact with

open flame or smoking articles. 2-Take particular caution that,

non-combustib:e glasses are worn while cooking.

3-If in doubt as to the glasses' combustibility, scrape a few shavings from the ear pieces with a razor blade. Place them on a small piece of paper and ignite the paper (over an ash tray). If noticeable flaring occurs when the flame contacts the shavings, it is probable that the material is cellulose-nitrate and added precaution is in order.

Over Pointers and Rainbows Riding high on the crest ,1 an 11 game win skein without a defeat, the Hawaii Marine bas-

ketball team was proven vulierable last Friday- evening at Hickam AFB when the Flyers, a

teem they had beaten 108-69 in their second outing of the season, threw up a potent zone defense to prevail 83-66. Monday night a hapless Barber's Point crew had the misfortune to run into a re-wound Marine team here at K-Bay and were downed to the tune of 96-54. A like fate befell an inexperienced University of Hawaii squad in the same arena Wednesday 111.111.111 as the 'Necks made it two straight with an 83-61 conquest.

Still capitalizing on fast breaks, sharp passing and ball handling, and without any standout star in the scoring column, the Hawaii Ma- rines remain atop the loop with a 12-1 record in league play. They are 13-1 with the non-conference win over the University of Hawaii on Wednesday.

After succumbing to the fired- up Hickam team, though outshoot- ing them from the f:oor 25-21 while-, the airmen were canning 41 of 61 charity tosses, the Marines seemed to come to life against the Point, ers on Monday evening.

Eagerly awaiting the initial jump at mid-court, the fidgeting Marines looked like sprinters awaiting the gun at the start of a race. The manner in which thry immediately took charge caused a sense of foreboding' to fall over the scattered Pointer fans.

Run. rebound, run some more was the pattern setup by Reese, Mitchell and company!

I Up and down the court like run- ' away express trains the rampag- ' ing Leathernecks ranged, pouring in bucket after bucket set up by the fancy ball handling of 2nd Lt. Frank Julian and the sharp cuts and shooting of 2nd Lt. Robert Reese and Cpl. Jack Mitchell. Play like this led to a 50-27 Marine lead at the intermission.

Wetzel of the Pointers started some early second half popping and playmaking but it just wasn't enough as "Big Mitch" hit from outside, inside and all around the pivot, when not grabbing rebounds. to pace the Marines with 22 points for the night.

1st Lt. Ted Henderson with 18. 2nd Lt. Jack Fannon with 15 and 2nd Lt. Robert Reese with 14 sparked the scorers who ran up a final tally of 96 against only 54 for the outclassed Pointers.

Special Boats For Water Shiers Available Soon

Two new P-14 "Ski Boats," spe- cially designed for water skiing will be available at the Station Special Services Boathouse by the end of next week.

The boats are being constructed according to specifications drawn up by Station Boathouse personnel, and are much safer than the "Sea Queen" which was wed previously.

Swivel seats which enable the boat's operator to drive and watch his skier simultaneously, and high windshields providing better vision, !are two main features of the new !boats.

Another new feature designed to lure more personnel into taking advantage of the boathouse facilities is the new slalom course located on the opposite side of the boathouse from the old water skiing area. The new area provides much more en- joyment as there is more room for maneuvering and fewer hazards pro- truding from the water.

Classes in water skiing are held for beginners each week by qualified instructors.

The Kaneohe squad tangles next

Basketball Continued from P-6

game of the season the Marines tangled with a youthful University of Hawaii squad and wound up on the winning side of an 83-61 ledger last Wednesday night at Hangar 103.

Dead game and hustling all the time. the Rainbow chuckers just couldn't cope with the breakaway speed of the Leathernecks and half the time were still under their offensive boards when the latter were producing baskets.

The Marines got just a little too fancy at times during the en- counter and frequently lost the ball on bad and misjudged passes. Getting possession in this manner and also through the fine ball hawking of just about all their players the collegians came up with miscues of their own and couldn't cut into the Marine lead. Control of the boards by the

Marines and also some fine shooting and rebounding by 2nd Lt. Robert Reese led to a 42-21 half- time bulge and the final score of 83- Marines and 61- Rainbows.

Lt. Reese led all scorers with 21 tallies and Lts. Henderson and Lawrence chipped in ten apiece during limited stints.

Tonight, the Leathernecks at- tempt to make it three-straight when they meet Naval Station in hangar 103 at K-Bay.

Leaving McKinley High School in 1951, he worked at various odd jobs locally and started his ring career shortly before entering the Marine Corps in Jan. of 1954.

After completing "boot camn" at San Diego where he fought in smokers at 125 pounds, he was transferred to Japan where he made his first appearance on a Marine team. In 1955 he was runner-up in the 132 lb. class of the 3rd Marine Division Championships.

AKU MARINES MAKE APPEAL FOR MEMBERS'

Plenty of room exists for aspirants to the MCAS Skin Diving Club, the Aku Marines, it was learned this week.

Enjoy the "Rapture of the Deep" in journeying through the depths of a world hidden to the eyes of cas- ual observers who will never thrill to that world of eerie, half-light beauty which lies just beneath the surface of the sea.

Skin diving gear is provided by the club at no cost to the members and the only necessary prerequisite is that you be a good swimmer.

No experience in the sport is necessary, just the desire to explore the wondrous kingdom of Neptune and the ability to pass the skin diving test conducted every Sunday morning at 11 am. in the Enlisted Pool.

The club meets every Monday evening at 7 in the Rod and Gun clubhouse opposite the Navy Boat- house.

SGT. GIL TAKARA class, back to 125, won both the All- Hawaii Marine and Hawaii Inter- Service crowns.

Gil battered his way to the fi- nals of the AAU "On to Seattle" tourney last summer where he lost a close decision to teammate Mo- lina at 132 lbs. Two of his other los- ses were also to top competitors, a 1953 decision to Ernie DeJesus now well-known local pro, and another decision the same year to Walter Byers, All-Marine champ at 125 that same year and presently the ninth ranking welterweight in the world.

Still undecided about a professional boxing career, Gil will make his home in Honolulu with his pa- rents,

Praised highly by Hawaii Marine Boxing Coach TSgt. Leo Neault for his outstanding ability and selfless- ness in teaching boys new to the game how to handle themselves with poise and confidence Gil can en- ter civilian life knowing that he accomplished much both as a Ma- rine and a man during his four year hitch.
