Nine fighter, attack and helicopter pilots attached to squadrons of Marine Aircraft Group 13 here, swapped flight suits and crash helmets for steel helmets and field packs this week and became infantry officers with the 4th Marines (Reinf) .

The nine are the first to take part in a new cross-observer program to further mutual understand- ing of the missions, unit capabilities and limitations of the air-ground team by members of the 1st Marine Brigade, FMF. This continuing training schedule is designed to achieve the ultimate goal of maxi- mum combat effectiveness. Squad- rons of MAG-13 will host officers from the Brigade's ground element in a later part of the program.

Following the inter-island training. the mutual exchange program will continue with air and ground officers swapping posts on alter- nate weeks. All ground officers will spend at least one day with Marine Air Control Squadron Two.

The nine officers who began the exchange this week practiced amphibious landings at Bellows Air Force Base. took part in weapons schooling and participated in day and night attacks by platoons from the 4th Marines. Those who did not actually take part in the ground action were on hand as observers. The program is designed to enhance the professional development of company grade officer

We Need Your Help ELSEWHERE IN THLS ISSUE YOU WILL FIND A PLEA FOR

HELP. THE INFORMATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE IS IN NEED.

Your station newspaper is published by that office. Everybody in the office contributes to the paper at times. But, the editorial staff of the WINDWARD MARINE has consisted of only two staffers for many months now. Occasionally, when nobody is sick or on leave or firing the range, we have three Marines on the staff.

What are we driving at? It's simply that it's pretty difficult for two men to cover all of the news on this Air Station in a matter of about three and one half days. That's about all the time available for writing. So, sometimes, we don't get all of the news and, sometimes, in the press of meeting deadlines, we hurry too much and don't get it 100 par cent right (much as we try).

So, we need help in two directions. One. we need writers. Two, we need cooperation. We hope the little ad will take care of the first, The second, everybody can help. Our deadline is nominally noon on Wednesday. It seems that a lot of people lust never remember to give us leads and stories until Wcdnes4ay afternoon. We do our beet to make it anyway.

Now, with Wednesday afternoons for recreation, this deadline is more critical than ever. We found out for certain this week that it': a hopeless task to try to get information, check facts, or clear stories Wednesday afternoon.

We have two courses open: either we get the information before noon Wedrisday or we do without. We don't like to do without; that doesn't make for a good newspaper.

So, we're trying our best to ferret the news out before noon Wednesday, but we must have cooperation. Two men can make just so man` telephone calls and cover just so much ground in one day. Even the time the other members of the Informational Services Office devote to the paper won't quite cover everything.

Please help us help you!

INTRODUCTION "The Military Services, like any civilian community, would have no

need for a police force if every citizen abided by the laws at a; s and if no one ever needed assistance or protection. Unfortun-

ately, people do frequently need both assistance and protection in

times of disaster or other emergency conditions. ' More often than you may think, law-abiding citizens need pro-

tection from criminals and others who have a wanton disregard for

their fellow men and civilization as a whole. This is where the police-

man-whether it be civilian or military-comes in. "Your relationship with HASP, the counterpart in a civilian com-

munity of the corner cop, depends entirely upon you-and you alone.

You can make this relationship an extremely pleasant one and at t'ne

same time have a very enjoyable time by merely knowing right fror wrong and acting accordingly.

"On the other hand, if you violate the laws, disturb, the oeace, are

inconsiderate of others, or bring discredit upon the uniform or Serv-

ice 'you represent, your relationship will in all probability be very

unpleasant, partivilarly for you. "The senior officers of all services recognize the human ele-ert+

of individual behavior end the need for relaxation and enjoy-: when .;ou are on liberty or pass.

"These officers as well, as your commanding officer and the rerr- bers of HASP, hope that you will enjoy your liberty. The people expel you as a serviceman, to be an ambassador of good will where,r your

travels in the Service may take you. "Your commanders at all echelons expect you to conduct yoursg

in such a manner as to reflect only credit upon the United States roil~

tary services and country you serve. "It is an old Army adage that 'an informed soldier is a better

soldier'. This proverb may well be applied to all branches of 0*

Beginning in August and continuing four months, the men of the 1st Marine Division--and their supporting airmen who fought such outnumbered battles in the 'Canal's fiery skies-were -he guinea pigs of the Pacific war. While holding the fate of the war on their valor. they tested American stamina, equipment and tactics.

Names of officers and men who received their baptismal World War II training there constitute a list of Marine Corps immortals. Some became Commandants. others received Medals of Honor. All wrote a chapter in American history that will be admired so long as men cherish bravery.

The battles of Guadalcanal were the keystone of victory in World War II-"the turning point in the Pacific." as Gen. George C. Mar- shall termed it. While a nation applauded their historic assault. but wondered if they could with- stand the fury of the Japanese counterattack. the Marines stayed on Guadalcanal.

And won.

KOREAN ANNIVERSARY, TOO

Eight years to the day after the landing on Guadalcanal - August 7, 1950 - the Marine Corps was committed to the Korean hostilities. The 1st Ma- rine Brigade was reactivated for service from components of the 1st and 2nd Marine Di- visioni and the 1st Marine Air Wing. Guadalcanal veterans and untried Leatherneck fledg- lings fought side by side and added new laurels to Marine Corps history.

K-Bay's building 934 announced recently that free radiograms may be sent anywhere in the world except Com- munist or Communist Satellite countries.

An additional service available to personnel here is the placing of phone calls to the many cities on the Mainland where schedules are maintained with other amateur stations.

No assessment is made for the portion of the call from MCAS to the station on the Mainland; however existing rates will be paid by the person receiving the call for that portion of the call from his home to the Stateside station.

Personnel holding a valid FCC Amateur license are invited to

operate the equipment of the station under the supervision of the NCOIC. Further information may be obtained by calling 72797.

Old CamorTign Hats Now At PI For DI

The old campaign hat. which in the late 1800's replaced the plumed hat as standard head-gear for all Marines. has returned to Parris Island to be worn by all drill in- structors as part of the uniform of the day

Last issued to recruits in 1939. although a few were still available through the . quartermaster, . the campaign hat recently has been strictly a trademark of Marine rifle team shooters, and during WW I and II, of rifle range coaches.

Marine troops made the hat fam- ous during the Boxer Rebellion in Haiti. Santo Domingo and Nica- ragua AS they battled Chinese and native bandits to quell riots and preserve American lives and property.

"Marine For Day" Program Planned For MCAS Scouts

The institution of a "Marine For A Day" program for selected Boy Scouts and Explorer Scouts from the Air Station was announced this week by Brig. Gen. George R. E. Shell, commander of the 1st Ma- rine Brigade.

The plan, as presently drawn, provides for one Scout from Ex- plorer Squadron 225 IJoe Foss Squadronl and one Boy Scout from Troop 225. to be selected every three months by their respective scoutmasters. The boys, outstand- ing members of their respective units, will spend 24 hours with Bri- gade units. It Is anticipated that the first "Marines For A Day" will be selected about mid-October, after the exercises on the Big Is- land.

Present plans envision both Scouts reporting to Gen. Shell early in the morning of their tour. The general will furnish them with special orders -nd assign the Explorer Scout to Marine Aircraft Group 13,

the Roy Scout to the 4th Marines (Reinf).

The Explorer Scout will report to the MAG CO to start a busy schee- ule, probably with a tactical squadron. Possible activities include Link trainer hop, survival check-out. to include simulated parachute des- cent into water. getting free of gear and inflating life raft, trip to control tower and MACS-2.

On tap for the selected Boy Scout. after assignment to a company by the 4th Marines (Rein!) CO. are such possibilities as gun drill. obstacle course. and overnight bivouac in the field. Each Scout will be assigned to a different company each quarter. Ore time it might be a weapons comnanv. next 4.2 mortars. or a howitrer battery.

One thing is certain. both scouts will spend a well-trilled ±4 hours being "Marines For A Day" before they wind up their tours with re- turn visits to the various CO's.

"THIS IS TENT CAMP?" . 1st.

Lt. Homer F. Spiers of Pensacola, Ha., looks amazed at the change in Tent Camp as he reports in at Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, Calif., for overseas duty. When he had orders to Ko- rea in March, 1951, his home while being processed was a cold, drafty tent surrounded by mud most of the time. Now spacious Quonset huts, equipped with wall lockers and modern space heaters, house the troops. (OFFICIAL USMC PHO i O BY

Huge Tank Farm At K-Bay Contains Many Gallons of Essential Fuel

High on the list of important items handled by Navy supply is fuel. While the modern American serviceman takes his hot water and transportation for granted, some unit has to supply the fuel.

Many, many thousands of gallons of the several different types of fuel needed to run Kaneohe MCAS are consumed aboard here each month.

Navy special fuel oil heats your hot water for the daily shower. provides the steam for the two mess halls and supplies hot water at the tap when you finish a day's work.

Diesel oil stored here runs all of the heavy equipment used by the Station and the FMF units based here.

Diesel and fuel oil are stored near the Station pier, while the JP3, 115/145 octane aviation gasoline. 80 and 74 octane and motor gasolines are in tanks buried at the fuel farm near the center of the Air Station.

Navy ships are the prime delivery method used to bring the various fuels aboard. While Kaneohe Bay is not dredged deep enough for sea- going tankers. smaller tank-type ships from the other side of the island dock here periodically to unload their volatile loads. Barges are used extensively to augment these fuel delieries.

While not unique. the method of issuing from Kaneohe's underground fuel tanks bears explana- tion. As a safety measure, fuels stored underground are moved up- ward into their pipes and trucks for further delivery by water. Since fuel floats on water, fresh water is pumped into an underground tank.

The fuel stays on top and is forced out into the feed lines. In this manner, no dangerous fumes can collect in a tank as the tank is always full of fuel and water. Gravity and mechanical feeds are used to drain the pier area tanks.

personnel is the fact that an ex- tensive tank cleaning program has just been completed. As part of the normal quality control program, all JP3 and 115 145 octane aviation gasoline tanks have been thoroughly cleaned of all rust and sludge.

While the fuel supply system is operated by civilian personnel during normal working hours. naval personnel comprising the Navy Sup- ply department's duty section mai:" numerous after-hour issues. Thus. the tank farm operates on a 24- hour basis.

Name's the Same; Photo Request Reveals Oddity

G. Stevens. of Assen. Holland. directed a request to the Marine Corps that this week found its way to G. Stevens at Kaneohe Bay.

Seems the Assen Stevens is interested in airplanes. So. in a different sort of way. is the Kaneohe Stevens.

The airplane enthusiast in the far away northeastern Netherlands city collects photos of different types of aircraft. Herr at R-Bay. G. Stevens collects photos of local type aircraft, to supply people like the G. Stevens in Holland when they write and ask for 'em.

Confusing but not amusing? Well. it was this way . . . .

Mr. (or Miss) G. Stevens. of Mol- enstratt 10. Assen. Holland. directed a request to "Marine Corps Aviation, AFB. Kaneohe Hawaii. U.S.A." for "some photographs of the planes of your corporation. Or. if you cannot do that. send me some addresses from which I can get (such) photographs". In time. the epistle was directed to the station Informational Services Officer, one Capt. Glenn B. Ste-

Capt. Stevens hasn't figured out how the Dutch boy (girl) singled out Kaneohe to make his (her) request-but the photos are on their way.

Back to MABS-13. do you recall where the Hawaiian Air National Guard had its headquarters during summer training? If you do then you can locate MABS easily. Its there.

For those of you still lost. get on Sixth St. going toward the main runway. When the quonset huts appear on your left. look to the right. See the Exchange warehouse? On. the runway side of the warehouse look for a set of stairs and a parking lot. Park in the parking' lot and run up the stairs. MABS should be there. If it isn't look for a sign on the door. perhaps they have moved again.

Crash-Rescue Hero Recalls Fiery Episode

"He waved me off, and yelled at me to get away-but I couldn't leave him, hanging there in that burning plane." says SSgt. Grant D. Parris, VMF 232, in describing how he won the infrequently seen Navy-Marine Corps Medal in a crash-rescue in Korea.

Joining here last week from El Toro. SSGt. Parris has been assigned to the Red Devils as a

mechanic. In 1951, then

PFC Parris was assig nod to MAG -22. at Po- Hung, Korea. A fully fueled and armed Corsair went out of control on takeoff, climbed a slight embankment

SSgt. Parris and crashed up- side down.

The aircraft was carrying a SAW pound bomb, according to Parris, in addition to the usual complement of napalm bombs, rockets and ma- chine gun ammunition. When the plane crashed. spilled gasoline and ruptured napalm made an immedi- ate inferno of the area.

Strapped in the cockpit, the pilot faced a fiery death. Running to the upset plane. Paris struggled to re- lease the trapped man; Ignoring the pilot's yells to get away from the burning plane.

As emergency equipment screamed across the air strip, Par- ris finally extricated the pilot and dragged him away from the flam- ing pyre.

In that instant, a" exploding rocket knocked both rescuer and rescued unconscious. and Parris fell across the aviator. Emergency personnel quickly dragged the two to safety.

"That pilot." the sergeant recalls, "was one of the brvaest men I ever saw. Even though he was hurt. and faced a pretty horrible death. his first thought was for my safety, when he ordered me away from the plane. But . . . I just couldn't leave him there . . ."

And the Marine Corps felt bravery was not entirely a quality of the rescued pilot. when it subsequently awarded SSgt. Parris the Navy- Marine Corps Medal "for heroism other than in the face of the enemy."

Class 'C' Trophy Falls to Marine in Gymkhana Race

Karaeohe's lone color-bearer at last Sunday's foreign car Gymk- hana held at Barber's Point walked off with the first place trophy in his class "G" under 1500 cc dis- placement).

To capture the trophy, SSgt. Charles R. Sparks had to tool his stock MG six times around a mile and one-third course of twisting and turning roadway laid out on an abandoned air strip. at just a little less than 60 miles per hour against the clock.

Four other potential Kaneohe racers did not have their cars up in time to make the event.

Foreign car owners from Navy captains down to PPCs are part of the Armed Forces Foreign Car Club which sponsored the August 5 gymkhana at the leeward air station. Sunday's show was one of the few high-speed contests sponsored by the service club.

Sparks. who is attached to Ma- rine Air Control Squadron Two logged an average of 1 minute 42.1 seconds for his six laps. The course included 45 and 90 degree turns, an Ess turn and sev-Tai varieties were run in both directions. After each competing car had made three runs one way the start became the finish ani vice versa.

A member of the AFFCC board of directors. Sparks has extended an invitation to car owners here at Kaneohe to contact him in regard to membership. The club is planning a program of rallies and low speed competitive events in the coming months. Sparks says, and points out that the AFFCC is dedicated to !ow cost competition. They plan to run about three high speed events, such as last Sunday's. each year.

They plan a low speed gymkhana Sept. 16. as a test of driving skill.


Giants Grab Lead From Dragons As Little League Season Closes

A hard-driving 1st Marine Brigade Giants club blasted into the limelight in MCAS Little League play last week and assured themselves the distinction of number one contender in the Territorial Little League playoffs which begin tomorrow.

Snatching first place from the 4th Marines Dragons, tht, Giants bid fair to win the MCAS Champion- ship title without the necessity of a playoff. Final tabulations. not available at press time. will determine whether the Giants have acquired the best win-loss record during the season.

Winners in the first round of play, the Giants dropped well be- hind the pace-making Dragons at the outset of the second round. but a spirited and sustained effort has steadily closed the gap.

A large measure of credit for the Giants superb showing belongs to their pitching staff. This, combined with an alert and capable field. has enabled them to offset mediocre hitting talent.

Following is a summary of Little League play during the final week of scheduled games:

A hunting party from Co. "C" 1st

Bn., 4th Marines (Rein!) made the season's first bag for Kaneohe nimrods last weekend, on the Big Island.

2d Lt. W. S. Fisher, Sgts, Julian C. Booth and H. H. Crowe and Cpl. Walter Novak, shot six sheep and a boar high above the Poha- kuloa training area on Mauna Kea. Lt. Fisher estimates each of the bag ran about 80 pounds.

With the exception of Sgt Booth, who used a .30-30 Winchester, the members of the party used their service rifles for the hunt. Lt. Fis- her says he can't recommend the use of lighter, sporting arms too highly. Climbing at the 8-10 thousand foot altitudes necessary to get at Mauna Kea's sheep makes every extra pound of weight carried a

to tho !ieut.en- ant, "Even breathing is difficult, when you're used to sea-level at- mosphere," he says, " and when you have to carry out your game . .

. . well, every ounce counts!"

Prospects for hunting in the area look good, according to the Charley company nimrods. Their own sheep were taken from "sizable herds". and they heard reports of a herd on the Mauna Kea slopes number- ing between 100-150.

And birds; Quail, pheasant, and the elusive chukker partridge seem to be in prolific numbers this year.

The party's boar was actually one of two. Returning from the sheep hunt, the pigs were jumped on a lower level, near the saddle road. A snap shot dropped one that got up and fled. In pursuing this one. a s.:-ond boar was spotted and was knocked over with a single shot.

'Mgt. Orval Newbury, fishing chairman, reports that one of the first projects of the club is now in operation: "free bait locker". Special permission has been granted the Rod and Gun Club to seine the ponds for grass shrimp. white eel and mosquito fish. These tasty bait tidbits will be frozen in cartons and kept in a deepfreeze that has been installed at the Special Ser- vices Boat House.

CAUTION: The fishponds are leased property. The special permission to seine the ponds is extended only to bearers of FOUR passes in the possession of the club. Others found seining these ponds are subject to civil prosecu- tion and fines.

Fishermen may request bait from

Newbury himself made a pitch for the "fisherman of the week" when he landed an 18' pound Tibia off the Ft. Hase area-only to be topped by Capt. Bob Srouss, who brought in a 23 pounder of the same variety.

The club will soon announce a "Fisherman of the Month" contest, and the prizes that will be awarded the monthly winners.

GOLF LADDER

No changes on the golf ladder

this week, nor proba'oly will there be in the next couple of weeks, I

imagine. All of the "hot-shots" departed Monday for the All- Marine Golf Championships at Camp Pendleton. We have our fingers crossed and hope that they come through.

WOMEN'S DIVISION RESUL1S Jeannie McCoy won the "Odd

or Even" tournament last week with 52-17-35. Ka; Fitzsimmons received second place honors with 52-15-37.

While on the subject of en's golf I cannot help but remember a cartoon I saw the other day that showed these two women standing on the green chatting.

The one with the disheveled hair is doing the talking and says: "I wouldn't have minded if I had been in trouble, in the rough, sandtraps, but to make a 17 when you hit every shot perfect . !

"Birthday Bill" Armour says that the only reason he played so poorly over at Mid-Pacific is because his caddy had no confidence in his ability as a golfer throughout the 18 holes, and it bothered him mentally.

"Imagine how I felt,' said Bill, "as I addressed my ball to play the first water hole, and saw my caddy out of the corner of my eye removing his shoes."

And now for a hectic week-end!

A ku-Marines -& Am.

O

By JACK FISHER

Last Monday night's special election occasioned by the approaching departure of both Larry Windley and Dave Cooke, saw Bob Peterson enthusiastically voted in as president of the Aku-Marines. and Don Williams elected to the veep po- sition by a vigorous majority.

Certainly, leis of appreciation are due the retiring office holders. When club members pause to reflect on the accomplishments of the organization-a water safety program second to none. acquisition and fit- ting out of the club boat. affiliation with the HSDA, etc.-they must at the same time consider the large part played by Larry and Dave in these ventures. To them go the heartfelt thanks of the Aku-Ma- rines for work so ably accomplished.

Skin diving. being a relatively new sport, is still undergoing rapid growth. as measured not only by the constantly increasing number of its followers. but by development of newer and better equipment. One of the recent innovations which has thoroughly proven its effectiveness is the explosive spear head.

Ordinary spears often fail to penetrate their mark, especially when the distance of the shot is greater than eight feet. Explosive heads overcome this weakness by setting off a rifle arge at the moment of impact with the target. This charge drives the head of the spear through the fish. and cap; .:ure is reasonably assured

One recent test of such a spear against a moray eel produced a most unexpected result. when the concussion of the explosion completely stilled the eel for several minutes. Against a larger fish. this concussion would doubtless have a reduced effect but anything that slows up one of the big fellows tends to tip the advantage in favor of the skin diver.
