Editor's Corner All of Us

The purpose of all law should be to provide justice for the maximum number of people, to protect their interests, to pre- vent offenses, to deter offenders, not to punish them.

This is also true of traffic enforcement. No administrative or disciplinary action, however severe, can restore a leg, an eye or a life lost in a traffic accident or ease the conscience of-the re- sponsible person.

Regulations and enforcement alone are not enough. but if we as individuals will practice courtesy, consideration for others and common sense in our every-day driving, there will be more living and less dying on your highways. Will you do your part?

tions became adapted to Christ- mas. Many customs now identified

with Christmas were not originally Christmas practices, but were pre- (..hristian and non-Christian cus- toms taken up by the Christian church. Saturnalia, a Roman feast celebrated in mid-December, pro- vided the model for many of the merry-making traditions of Christ- mas.

Elaborate feasting, giving of gifts, and the burning of candles all were derived from this ancient feast. Lights also played an important part in most winter solstice fes- tivals.

The giving of gifts has varied considerably, many peoples ex- change presents on other days and reserve Christmas solely for re- ligious observances. The Teutonic yule feast aluo provided customs for the Christmas festivities, such as the yule log and the Wassail bowl. In many places a part of the yule log is retained to light the yule log the following year.

Nativity plays early became an Jmpo 'ant phase of Christmas ac- tivities. The representation in church of the creche is said to have begun by Saint Francis. The sending of Christmas cards

Chaplain's Corner

"Peace on earth to men of goodwilr By Lt. R. E. JACKSON, USN.

It has often been said that in re- cent years the Christmas season has been commercialized into a merely worldly festival typified by Santa Claus. If this is so. the sea- son can be recovered for Christ only by manifestation of the true Chris- tian spirit. 'ft will not be enough to say that Santa Claus. is an out- growth of the fact of St. Nicholas who was noted for giving presents to the needy. Christians above all should set the example of centering the observance of Christmas in the Christ Child.

The Birth of Christ in Bethlehem on Christmas Day is the central fact in the history of the world. God's love of us took human form and was born of the Virgin Mother. His birth had been foretold by God'.° holy prophets and was announced to the shepherds by the angels who with reason sang the joyfu' anthem-God's message to men- "Glory to God in the Highest, and peace on earth to men of good will.'

We should note there is no mem- lion of "good will toward men" a fact which was perfectly obvious because it was "good will" or "love" which motivated God to send His only Son into the world. The import of the message is that men of good will might hope for the true peace. which the Holy Infant would bring to all those who observed His laws. The religious observance of the

Christmas season is the duty and privilege of every true Christian. The joy of Christmas should be experi- enced by Christians not merely in worldly gifts and amusement, but a living faith. It is not Santa Claus. but the Child Jesus. who dispenses the joy of Christmas to every lov- ing heart. This is a truth that every child, and adult should know and live.' Thus can be truly said, "A blessed and happy Christmas!

K-BAY KIBITZER by bradley

One thing I forgot to mention in last week's column about troubles besetting the Informational Services Office was the fact that TSgt. Garry Cameron is a short-timer.

Here he is only about three weeks away from leaving K-Bay for new duties at MCAS, El Toro, and he's having a terrible time trying to develop a short-tiwer's attitude. In his normaj job as head of the news branch, business has been booming. Then, last Monday morning, without any warning, he was handed the considerable job of putting out the Station newspaper right up until he's due to leave.

He tells me that answering the telephone, scheduling assign- ments, pounding a typewriter, editing copy and breaking pencils from dawn till after dusk has made it impossible for him to execute his well-laid plan to enjoy that charished Marine "short- timer attitude."

Of course, all hands in the office are mighty thankful that he's conscientious enough to pass up this almost-traditional close to a tour.

Santa arrived at Toyland last Saturday. Just in case that wasn't -efficient warning, let me point out right here and now that he time for Christmas shopping is almost past. The big day is text Wednesday and I can assure you from long experience that Atristmas day will arrive on schedule whether all of the shop- .iing has been done or not.

I never cease to be amazed at what attitude means to results, io often I come upon people who first and immediate reaction is: "I don't see how we can do it." The other type have the op- iosite reaction that goes something like this: "Sure, Sounds like

a good idea. Unless something turns up that I've overlooked, we'll do it."

In the first case, it's a pretty sure thing that it'll be a fight to get the job accomplished if it ever is tackled. In the second case, there's a very good possibility that the job will be done, that -here will be a minimum number of problems inserted, and that all concerned will be in a better frame of mind.

Where the real amazement enters the picture is when I've been turned down cold by one person and had the job accom- ulished by another in the sante office or unit-and with a feel - ;ng of good will all around.

Then there is sort of an in-between or third type who can best be described as a "nit-picker." He's a bit inclined to go along with the idea BUT he'll take more time bending your ear with the pros and cons than it ultimately takes to get the job itself accomplished.

I think Elbert Hubbard put it very succinctly when he said: "Don't sit down in the meadow and wait for the cow to back up and he milked-go after the cow."

Philosopher Hubbard also felt that "The only right that any man should have is the right to be decent, that is to be agreeable and useful."

As the spirit of Christmas pervades us, I wonder if we couldn't improve our attitudes a little more throughout the year.

If you're ever going to try beachcombing, this is the time of year. High seas rip floats lose from fishing nets, wash things overboard from fishing sampans and bring normally land-bound items into the sea. The way these islands are situated in the vast- ness of the Pacific, Hawaii's shores may contain odds and ends ;hat have started a sea voyage from Japan or the mainland or a ship at sea.

I think there is a certain thrill in walking along a deserted sec- tion of shoreline, never knowing just what may lie beyond the next outcropping of rock or over the next sand dune.

True, others probably have been looking along the same strand before you. But they may have been looking for something in which you have no interest and they may have left something :hat appeals to you only.

They are. of course, glass balls to be found and weirdly shaped pieces of driftwood. But I think much of the fun in beachcombing is derived from speculation on the origin of pieces that have washed ashore.

A large chunk of redwood tree is a rarity on an island chain that has few redwoods and none of giant stature. How did this piece get into the sea and from whence did it come? Perhaps is escaped from a logging operation far up a river on the west ^oast of the U.S. After many months it may finally have reached the sea, perhaps on the crest of a flood. Ouce in the vast ocean, it may have floated for years, catching first one current and then another before it finally reached Hawaii.

After a violent storm, pieces of coal may be found on Waima- nalo beach. Many years ago a coal-burning ship ran aground near Rabbit Island and reminders of this disaster still wash ashore from time to time.

The list of things to be found is almost without end and the possibilities for play of the imagination are virtually limitless. From a charred piece of deck planking, it would be possible to create a fiction of maritime adventure.

So, if you ever had a yearning to be a beachcomber, let me recommend Hawaii's shores.

Do you remember the story about Becky and the helicopter that went to school? kpparently the story really caught on It has showed up in a number of service publications and now it appears that at least one of the wire services picked up the story. It's being used in newspapers on the mainland.

Wet Welcome for Visiting Air Force 'Jayne Stands Out Para-Rescue and Survival Teams

By SGT. JIM WOOTEN An Air Force pars -medic team "invaded" the normally quiet

waters of Kaneohe Bay last Thursday morning during a Nutine water survival training exercise conducted here by the 7th Air Search and Rescue Squadron from Hickam Air Force Base

One by one. the five para-re=cue and survival technicians jumped from a four engine trans- port at 1200 feet. They rendered aid to two simulated injured avia- tors who made a "forced" landing in the bay's choppy waters.

Yuletide Greetings From CMC

To Marines in every clime and place, and to their families I ex- tend my personal greetings and best wishes for a jouful Christmas season.

Once again. with the advent of Christmas, we turn our thoughts to the Star of Bethlehem and to the message of which it is the eternal symbol, Through the centuries which have elapsed since it first ap- peared, its brill'ance has remained undimmed in mankind's darkest hours, it alone has illuminated the unknoen vastness of man's soul; Its message of brotherhood and universal peace has ever been man's greatest hope and aspiration. It is at once the promise and fulfillment of the recognition of human worth, of freedom of mind and spirit, and the dignity of the in- dividual which inspire men of good will, re- gardless of race or creed, to a fuller and nobler life.

Through its inspiration there have been de- veloped, often through suffering and sacri- fice, the ideals which have become the heri- tage of the world.

It is a heritage we will defend, whatever the cost. Free men every- where will stand firm against the brutal calculation that would sub- ject mankind to spiritual starvation and Godless slavery.

May the Star o' Bethlehem Inspire every Marine, wherever he may be. to rededicate himself to Country and Corps, and to a renewed determination to protect and defend our priceless heritage.

And may the Star of Bethlehem in all its glory, shine brightly on Marines and their loved ones not only at Christmas but through- out the coming year.

Gen. R. McC. PATE Commandant, Marine Corps.

At Bob Hope Show TONS OF CHRISTMAS MAIL Bob Hope, Jayne Mansfield, Jerry EXPEDITED AT NAVY 990

Colonna, Carol Jones, Erin O'Brien and Hedda Hopper only scratched the surface of the many stars mak- ing appearances in Hope's Christ- mas GI Show. Making their first overseas appearance here Monday night at Bloch Arena, which Bob called "a lovely garage," they gave island servicemen something to talk about and be remembered.

Jayne Mansfield, and her as- tonishing dimensions, was probab- ly the biggest attraction. All she had to do was stand there, but she didn't, she squirmed, wiggled, laughed, giggled.

She wore a strapless, red dress that left very little to the imagina- tion.

Les Brown and his wonderful (easy to :isten to) band did a mas- terful job on the background music and really added sparkle to the show.

The Legal Beagle

Protection Offered Servicemen Among service personnel there

has been considerable misunder- standing in regard to the rights af- forded them under the terms of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Re- lief Act. Because of the wide scope of this Act, two articles will be published in this column. This par-1 ticular article will be devoted to the measures of relief afforded serv- ice personnel in cases where civil action is brought against them in one State while they are in fact on duty in another State or outside the Continwial Limits of the United States. The subsequent ar- ticle will discuss the question of State and local tax exemptions un- der the Act.

Generally speaking, the Sol- diers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act was passed by Congress in 1940 in order to protect service- men from legal penalities which might result from military serv- ice. The law recognized the fact that a serviceman is not a free agent in that he is moved from place to place in accordance with military contingencies. One of the primary benefits of

this Act is found in Section 521

which provides that legal actions brought against a person in the military service shall be stayed upon application of that person unless in the opinion of the court, the abili- ty of the defendant to conduct his defense is not materially affected by reason of his military service.

A stay of proceedings as referred

to in law, refers to right of a serv- iceman to hold the suit in abeyance until completion of military serv- ice or sixty days thereafter. It should be pointed out that under ordinary rules of law, a civil action may be brought against a resident of a State even though that person is not actually present in the State, if service of process is made at the legal residence in that State or in some cases by publication in a news- paper..

The manner in which service is to be accomplished is a matter of local State law. However, un- der the provisions of the Relief Act, a serviceman has some pro- tection against the suit when he is not actually present in the State where he is being sued. It is to be noted that protection is not abso. lute in nature in that a stay of proceedings is a matter of dis- cretion by the local court. This elastic standard created by the Act has lead to much misunder- standing by service personnel and in some cases involved the loss of legal rights and remedies.

Actually the discretionary portion of the Act was placed there as an indirect benefit to service person- nel. During the Civil War period. many States passed similar laws to protect servicemen who were ab- sent from the State by reason of their military duties. These laws were so absolete in nature that un- der no circumstances could a suit be brought against a serviceman. As a result, creditors would not ad-

ranee any credit to service person- nel under any circumstances.

Current cases seem to indicate if a defendant serviceman is not acting in good faith and if he has had ample opportunity to de- fend himself, the protection of a stay of proceedings will not be granted. If the local court finds that the privilege granted under the Act is being used by the serviceman as a shield against his own wrongdoings and nothing else, the court will proceed with the case despite the absence of the serviceman. However, the lo- cal courts are fairly uniform in granting these stays when the serviceman is beyond the Con- tinental Limits of the United States. In cases whe-e a serviceman is in

another State within the Conti- nental Limits of the United States, it is a matter for the local court's discretion and they may in some cases deny the stay of proceedings in civil action and authorize the conduct of a suit against a serv- iceman despite his absence on mill; tary du y. In the latter case, each decision is made based on the cir- cumstances involved and there can be no hard and fast rule governing the action of the local court.

However, it can be said that in most cases local courts have been lenient in the granting of these stays of proceedings when service- men are involved. Again, if you are faced with a situation of this sort, the best advice is to see your Le- gal Assistance Officer.

By MSGT. ROY C. CARBINE Rain, sleet, cold and heat hold no fears for the mailman-but

deliver him from the Christmas rush! While the personnel of Navy 990 post office here do not have to brave the elements "in appointed rounds," they are annually faced with an avalanche of outgoing and incoming Christmas mail.

Through December 10, SSgt. Her- man Pace, NCOIC, and his staff of seven dispatched over two tons of airmail, a ton and a half of first class mail and 19 tons of par- cel post.

But the incoming figures are bet- ter yet. On Tuesday, Pace's office received 60,000 pounds of incoming Christmas mail alone.

Adhering to the honored slogan of the postal department, the Navy 990 staff will get the mail through even on Christmas day, according to Pace. All incoming mail that day, if any, will be worked and sent out to unit mail clerks.

And here's a couple of more fig- The volume has been sufficient to urea for your file and forget: The

TRADE PLACES?-Rear Adm. Ralph W. Taylor, Inspector General, Naval Dental Service, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, USN, stopped during :;is inspection of Station dental facilities here last Friday to talk with eight-year-old Christine Warfield, daughter of SSgt. and Mrs. Roy Warfield. SSgt. Warfield is in 4.2 Mortar Co., 4th Marines, 1st Marine Brigade, FMF. When the admiral asked Christine how she felt her reply was, "Not too good because I have to get a shot and the needle hurts." "It doesn't really hurt, does it?", asked the ad- miral. The eight-year-old's sharp reply was, "Would you like to trade places with me?" The offer was declined.

Quick Thinking Marine Sgt. Is Commended

Friday the thirteenth, reputedn an unlucky date, proved lucky far Sgt. Richard A. Bleasdale, MAG-13, who was commended for his action during an aircraft mats - tenance accident here last mostb in formal ceremonies conducted by Brig. Gen. Avery R. Kier, com- manding general of 1st Maine Brigade, FMF.

As the gener- al read the cita- tion, "it gives me great pleasure...," Bleasdale's thoughts returned to the night of Nov. 14 when he was placing oxy- gen bottles in- side an AD Sky- BLEASDALE raider plane. On the outside were three of his buddies, SSgt. y W. Cottrell, Cpls. Henry S. Calfee and Charles W. Young, working on the AD5N's engine.

His alert ears detected the sound of oxygen which was escaping from

I the plane's high altitude flight system. Checking the works brief- ly, Bleasdale found the highly infiamabie vapor seeping from the regulator behind the rear seat.

While repairing the system, the line ruptured in his palms without. warning, spraining his wrist and causing cuts and abrasions about the arms and shoulders as it whip- lashed violently due to the high pressure of the escaping gas.

With co_npiete disregard for his own personal safety and sustained injuries, Bleasdale dove into the Skyraider's rear compartment and disconnected the complete oxy- gen system by securing the shut-off valves and removing the life- giving bottles.

The words, "your quick, positive action,' brought his mind back to the ceremonies as Gen. Kier con- tinued "and knowledge of job pre- vented further damage to the air- craft by fire or explosion, which might have resulted had the oxygen come in contact with fuel, grease or oil."

"Your initiative, resourcefulness and attention to duty are of the highest calibre and a tribute to the noncommissioned' officers of the Marine Corps."

Auto Deaths High During Night Hours

The National Safety Council es- timates the death rate was three times greater at night during 1956

than during daylight. Fifty-five precent of the traffic

deaths were due to night accidents. although less driving was done at night.

Nineteen percent of all fatal traf- fic accidents occurred between 4

and 6 pm. The whole problem of night trat -

tic accidents grows out of the fact that darkness hides danger. so the remedy Iles in dissipating as much of the darkness as possi- ble and compensating by various means for the remainder. The driver should be sure that he,

vehicle is equipped with good head- lights, taillights, braking and direc- tional lights, and that they be kept in good condition.

Proper use of lights is also im- portant. Drivers should turn their lights on at the first hint of dusk. They should lower their beams when approaching or following another car.

Marines Snag Comeback Lead;

Down SubPac 65-52 At Arena By finally starting to click in the closing minutes of the game

Wednesday night the Hawaii Marines took over the undisputed possession of first place in the Hawaii Senior Invitational Bas- ketball League by downing a spirited SubPac crew 65-52 in the most exciting game of the year at Bloch Arena. It was nip and tuck all the way and only in the last six minutes and 15 seconds did the Leatherneck cagers grab the lead for good.

Getting their slowest start of the year the Marines scored only one free throw in the first five minutes of play. After the clock showed 11

minutes already played the "Necks" had only dented the scoring column with 6 points.

Halftime found the ordinarily high scoring Marines trailing 25- 22. This was the first time they had ever been behind an oppos- in; team at the halfway mark. These factors played an impor- tant part in making the Leather- neck five more determined than ever to bounce back in the re- maining half, and that's Jest what they did. 2nd. Lt. John Fannon tied the

score at 34-all on a fall-away jump shot and was fouled in the process. John missed his free throw but it was tipped in by two men in a mad scramble under the basket. That made the score 36-34 with 14 min- utes remaining in the game.

SubPac however, came clawing back with two quick buckets and with 12 minutes remaining the score stood 38-37 in favor of Sub- Pac. At this point the play became ragged on the pat of the Marines and the Navy crew took advantage of the situation to open up a six point lead at 47-41 and it looked bad for the "Necks" as only eight minutes remained.

2nd. Lt. Frank Julian performed magnificently under the pressure now evident and pumped in two beautiful jump shots from the

outer rim of the free throw circle and brought the locals back to within two points at 47-45 with seven minutes and thirty seconds left. Fannon hit a charity toss, Sub- Pac did the same, and 1st Lt. John Keller added two free throws to put the Marines ahead 50-48 with 6 minutes and 15 seconds left, From this point the Leathernecks were never behind again.

To start the third quarter Pearl kicked-off to Serv. Bn. and the lo- cal crew failed to score and gave up the ball on downs. Pearl managed to score later in the quarter but Serv. Bn. retaliated as Pfc. "Bull" Clements took 6 pitch out from Cpl. Larry House and skirted the side- lines 68 yards for the T.D. The third quarter score was 26-16 with the Warriors still leading.

From the very outset of the final quarter it was evident that 'he Pearl Harbor crew was still in there pitchnig and they came charging onward to score two touchdowns, thus forcing the con- test to end deadlocked. The league champion 2nd Bn.,

4th Marines won two games during the week by downing 3rd Bn., 4th Mar. 52-26 and MAG-13 by a 30-14 score. They finished their fine sea- son by winning 9 games and losing only one. That loss, by the way, was a 42-28 drubbing by Serv. Bn.

Rifle - Pistol Club By L. R. KLOCK s-*---

Aloha to the new and old Rifle and Pistol club officers.

Elections were held at tia month- ly meeting on Dec. 10 1957.

After much discussion and friend- ly debating, the majority by Wood- ham and Armstrong, the officers were finally filled. Pres.-MSgt. Gross, Vice Pres.-Capt. Green, Secretary- Lt. Steinhilber, Treas- ures-Cpl.' Robinson. Executive Of:, ficer- Lt. Hughes, Club Pistol In -' structor-TSgt. Drechsel, Club Rifle Instructor-RSgt. Armstrong, Publi- city Officer-Pfc, Dougherty.

We wish to extend our vote of thanks and appreciation to the out- going officers for a job well done." Many long hours went into the planning and execution of the club activities this past year.

Outgoing officers: Pres.-TSgt. Graves, Vice Pres.- Lt. Hughes, Secretary-Sgt. Maj Waldron, Treat; urer-MSgt. Darche, Executive Of ficer-Lt. Lee, Club Instructor-TSgt. Neal, Publicity Officer-Sgt. Hoar.

The Station Range Officer has informed the club that due to im- provements being made to both the rifle and pistol range we will be un- able to do any weekend shooting until some time in January.

We're also sorry to report that no individual or team awards were won at the 15th Naval District Pistol meet by any club members on Dec. 15 1957. .

We do have something unique to report though. Even though most of the team firing was accomplish- ed after dusk last month, when the Marines fired in the Hawaiian Ter- ritorial Pistol championship match. the expert team placed second in the .22 Cal. match with a 1099-20x. The master team won the .38 Cal. match with a 1086-23x score. Fif- teen individual awards were also garnered by the straight-shooting Marines.

Our next meeting will be held on Jan. 14. 1958. Plan to be there and bring a new member with you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR .

`Little Theatre Group Forming

Plans are currently in the mill for an MCAS "Little Theatre" group to be formed sometime after the first of the year, it was an- nounced by Mr. R. Henning, Ka- neohe Red Cross Director, this week.

The organization will present plays, musicals and revues. "Serv- ice personnel, dependents and civil- ian station employees with talents in acting, singing, dancing, play- ing a musical instrument, or acro- batics as well as those desiring to assist with scenery, costumes make- up. publicity, lighting effects or wring will be most welcome," said Mr. Henning.

1st LT. JACK VAIL, Hawaii Ma- ine pitcher, was named Hawaii's

base ball player of the year Wednesday by the Honolulu Ad- vertiser. Lt. Vail teamed-up with I st Lt. Ron Perry, since discharged, Ind pitched the Marines to the Hawaii Majors championship. He hurled two no-hit games and set a :trikeout record by whiffing 21 batters in a game with Pearl Har- bor Navy.

Popular 'Santa' Travels Widely Santa Claus, who is pretty much

1.merican, has become traditionally )opular throughout the years the orld over. His name, revered by wide-eyed

oungsters during the Christmas eason. is a corruption of the Dutch

1-)nt Nikolaas. Constant usage of he name by children in Teutonic ountries contracted into our pres- mt "Santa Claus."

According to the historian George 11. McKnight, Santa event- ually "crossed to America. Exact- ly how is open to question, how- ever on the way he traded his gray horse for a reindeer and made changes in his appearance." An important personage during the Christmas season, he has made himself quite at home in America. Santa is reputed to have crossed

:he Atlantic to England, and from .he:e he journeyed to the most dis- :.ant parts of the British Empire; then to India and Australia, where he is as familiarly known as in the States.

Th:e immortal poem of "The Night Before Christmas," by Clement C. Moore, makes him a jolly personal- ity, "St. Nick," who rides "in a mini-

, ature sleigh drawn by eight tiny 1reindeer."

Women's Golf A "best 9 holes" tournament

was played Dec. 9 and Betty Koch was the A-Flight winner with a net 31.

The B-Flight winner was Sue Ewers with a net 32.

All women interested in playing golf are invited to join us each Thursday morning. Tee-off time is 8:30 am.

It is the story of a poor crippled shepherd called Amhal who offers his only possession, his little wood- en crutch, to the three kings to take as an offering to Jesus. Amahl is miraculously cured of his lame- ness, and his mother allows him to follow the kings to Bethlehem to adore and give thanks to the Christ Child.

Everyone is cordially invited to at- tend this one hour recorded musi- cal presentation. Refreshments will I
