the whole American Revolution was a calculated risk.

His hot blood manifested itself as early as 1754 when he was a lieutenant colonel commanding militia forces sent to reinforce the forks of the Ohio against the French. It was on Washington's order that the first shots were fired to touch off the French and Indian War when his troops intercepted a French scouting party.

"I heard the bullets whistle," he wrote later, "and, believe me. there is something charming in the sound."

This was the man who, on Brad- dock's march, had two horses shot from under him and his coat pierced by four bullets. It was the man who. during the Revolution, could bawl out Charles Lee unmercifully on the field of Monmouth Courthouse for failing to reform his lines and dis- cipline his panicky troops. One report says that his fury erupted "till the leaves shook on the trees."

A loyal friend, he was implaca- ble toward his enemies. For him the Tories were "wretched crea tures" who practiced "diabolical arts and schemes."

Neither mean nor spi.eful, he could not be deterred when he be lieved himself in the right. When Benedict Arnold's treason plot blew up there was considerable grudging sympathy for its chief victim, the British Maj. John Andre. But Wash- ington felt no mercy for this enemy of his cause.

Chaplain's Corner By Chaplain A. R. Afidenon

"MIRACLES IN CHARACTER"

Mr. Ruskin, in his Modern Paint- ers, tells that the black mud or slime from a footpath in the out-

' skirts of a manufacturing town the absolute type of impurity is

composed of four elements: clay. soot, a little sand, and water.

These four may be separated each from the other.

The clay particles, left to follem their own instinct of unity, become a clear, hard substance, so set that it can deal with light in a wonderful way and gather out of it the lovlie;t blue rays only, refusing the rest. We call it then a sapphire.

The sand arranges itself in mvs- terious, infinitely fine parallel lines, which reflect the blue, green, purple and red rays in the greatest beau- ty. We call it then an opal.

The soot becomes the hardest thing in the world and for the blackness it obtains the power of reflecting all the rays of the sun at once in the vividest blaze that any solid thing can shoot. We call it then a diamond.

Last of all, the water becomes a dewdrop and a crystalline star of snow.

Thus God is able to take some of the lowliest elements of humanity and transform the most evil of men into shining gems suited in luster for the adornment of Heaven itself. Given the opportun- ity, Christ can take bankrupted lives and enrich them: He can take men desparate with evil and make them zealous in goodness: He makes sinners into saints: He makes cowards into noble martyrs: liars into champions of truth: persecutors Into Apostles: disillusioned men into Men of vision.

For 2,000 years Christ has shown His wonder working power in tram:- forming the lowliest of humanity into Heaven's nobility.

REENLIRTMENT NOTFS

By AMSgt. John Pracanica Men extending their enlistment

I are entitled to receive lump sum I nay for unused leave. They are paid at the expiration of their original enlistment. Remember you can ex- tend for 3, 6, 9, 12. or 24 months.

If a man extended his enlistment for 6 months and took out an al- lotment for $50.00 per month ho would have 300 dollars to tide him over when and if he returned to civilian life.

A Marine with three or four yea:: in the Corps has passed his apprenticeship for a fine career. By re- turning to civilian life he loses that apprenticeship completed rating and must start at the bottom in

new tasks. The Marine Corps sets aside ap-

proximately $145 each month for Your retirement: count the number of months you have served and You

will see how much money you have toward your retirement.

For example the Marine Corp: has set aside $5,220 for a man on a three year enlistment. Contact your reenlistment NCO. reenlist and continue to add to that sum for your early retirement.

Fifteen years ago this month, U. S. Marines were putting the :in-

ishing touches on the Pacific war with the invasion of Iwo Jima. The

IQ Las asked veterans of that campaign, now stationed at Kaneohe Bay, the following: What was your job during the invasion and what ncident do you best remember of the campaign?

AMSGT. JACK DRAUGHON, MP Chief - "I was a corporal and section leader of a machine gun section with "C" C,mnanv. 1st Bn., 21st Marines, 3rd Division. Two things I remembered best were the huge mortar the Japa- nese had-Screaming Mimi. It was as big as a GI can. The toughest part of the whole operation was getting across Moytayema Air strip No. I. We lost three men a minute for 72 hours."

AMSGT. JOHN V. BERG, 4th Marine Regiment - "That wet the only World War II campaign that I participated in where we "lad steamheated fox holes. I was a sergeant and leader of a ma. :pine gun platoon. The volcanic action of the Island gave us "heat" whenever we started digging. At night the condensation formed into sort of a fog. Naturally the sulphur smell went along with the digging!"

Home Emergency Must be Verified

Otticials of the Hawaii Navy Relief Association have reminded K-Bay and area servicemen that the granting - or itholding - of emergency leave, rests soley in the military command.

To cut-down time consuming details involved when a serious emergency requires the serviceman's presence on the mainland. officials told military personnel to notify their families to get in immediate touch with their local Red Cruss Chapter. The Red Cross. in turn, will lied-

ify tit,. emergency, then transmit the information to the overseas field director. He will turn-over the information to both the service member's commanding officer and the individual concerned.

Families are urged to send word of serious emergency by commercial means or. if available, by Naval Communications direct to the serviceman. Such messages however. are not regarded by the military as verification of the emergency described.

AMSGT. ANTOINE M. BAR-

9IER, NCOIC, PROVOST MAR- SHAL SECTION - "The fact that I didn't so much as get nicked

' during the Iwo Jima campaign still amazes me. As a rifle platoon sergeant, I landed in the after- soon of "D" Day and, despite the fact my outfit took some casual-

, ies on the beach, 1 remained un-

%sr+. Later in the cams j 3r1 an lrtillery shell, about the size of a

105, landed four feet from me but lidn t explode. How's that for uck?"

Gen. G. Erskine's Iwo Jima Invasion Fighting Message

(Ed. Note: Fifteen years ago Marines stormed ashore on Iwo Jima. Prior to the actual landing, Maj. Gen. Graves B. Erskine. de- livered the following speech to

members of his Third Marine Di- vision :1

"You are armed and embarked again for the purpose of striking still another blow at our enemy. This blow is to be close to his heart -closer than you or any other large force has struck him so far.

"This one will hurt him. It ma' prove in time to have been his fatal blow.

"Of late our enemy has lost round after round. But of such an enemy. willing to use treachery as a weap- on, we must ever be wary, remem- `sering that the Japanese will fight desperately to hold his ground.

-We must hit him first, hit him hard. follow him relentlessly and knock him out. -You are well-chosen to help ac-

complish the Job ahead. You have the necessary skill and training. You have the experience and reputation.

"The open ranks among the vet- terans have been filled with re- placements who, catching the spirit of this spirited outfit, have so quickly assumed the veteran's character that a stranger cannot tell veteran from replacement. "The enemy too - if the vigor

and persistence of your attack leaves him any sense at all - be unable to tell them apart.

"Go Into battle as you did in

Bougainville and Guam: Un- afraid, proud, even cocky. You

have earned every right to these proper attributes of fighting Ma- rines. "Take with you one new thing.

in this your first campaign under my command: My own, unlimited pride and faith in you.

"I'll see you on the beach. /s G. B. ERSKINE

25 Babies Added To Fourth's Roster

Twenty-five infants this week tied their names added to an elite roster that dates back over 30 years to a custom established in Shanghai,

China, by the 4th Marines Regi- ment.

All 25 new "tax deductions" are recent additions to the families of officers now serving with the 4th Marine Regiment of the 1st Marine Brigade.

HONEST AND FAITHFUL As a part of the custom, each in-

fant received a personalized silver cup, a complete service record book and a modified enlistment oath which pledges honest and faithful service to the parents and 4th Ma- rines.

Mrs. John W. Antonelli, wife of Colonel John W. Antonelli commanding officer, 4th Marine Regiment, made the cup and record book presentations to the mothers and infants at the Ka- neohe Officers Club Monday morning, Feb. 15.

IN THE BEGINNING This unique 4th Marines baby

cup ceremony began in the late 1920's when the regiment was serving in China. It faded from the scene during World War II. Colonel Brygthe D. Godbold (then

commanding the 4th Marines) re- established the cup presentation ceremony in 1956 and since that time scores of names have been added to this unusual roster.

The service record book, an in- novation added to the ceremony two years ago, serves as a baby book. It can be used to note the infants' progress and tours of duty at various posts and sta- tions. Mothers pledged the babies' faith

and allegience to the "Old China" Regiment in an oath as follows:

ENLISTMENT "I do solemnly squall that I will

bear true faith and allegiance to the 4th Marines (Reinforced or whatever they may be); that I will serve it faithfully against all other regiments whosoever; and that I will obey the orders of my mother and father and the babysitters appointed over me according to the regulations and Doctor Benjamin Spock. And I do further scream that all statements made by me as now given in this record, are relatively imposible."

Civil, Service News FROM THE PRESIDENT

The success of any enterprise depends in great measure upon the degree to which it draws upon the knowledge and creative ability of those who are engaged in it. Sug- gestion systems are effective mech- anisms for tapping this potential. These systems exemplify our respect for the individual and his ideas, and demonstrate our faith in the ability of each citizen to contribute to the progress of the national community . . ." So said President Eisenhower in a message to the recent 17th Annual Con- vention of National Association of Suggestion Systems.

It is noteworthy to mention, that since Congress created the Cash Award as a means for en- couraging employees to participate in improving Government operations, the outstanding record of employee suggestions give proud testimony to the valuable contributions civil service work- , -ire making to the nation.

The Legal Beagle Says

Will or Power of Attorney Needs Should be Discussed With Lawyer

There exists a wide spread belt( '

that practically every serviceman should have a will and power of attorney. This is an exaggeration to say the least.

The average unmarried serviceman has insufficient estate to worry about its disposition after his death. Generally speaking, government benefits insurance. indemnity compensation, death gratuity, etc.) go to certain bene- ficiaries designated by the law which created the benefits. As to such benefits, a will is ineffective. The same can be said for private insurance policies payable to a named beneficiary. Only in the event the unmarritd

serviceman has substantial estate (real property, stocks, bonds, business interests, etc.) is it necessary or advisable for him to seek the services of an attorney concerning disposition of his estate after death.

The foregoing applies with only slightly less effect to the average married serviceman.

In any event, only a qualified attorney should give advice in these matters, and attempt to draw a will. In this connection, printed forms are dangerous, and should be used, if at all. only after detailed consultation with a

licensed attorney (qualified legal °Mei r+. Further. in case of doubt as to the desirability of a will,

t he matter in all cases should likewise he referred to an attorney. A POWER OF ATTORNEY is a

legal document authorizing a des-

ignated party to perform, as agent, certain acts for the party signing the power. It is most commonly required by servicemen to enable a wife to dispose of a car registered in the husband's name, to cash her husband's pay check, or to ship household effects. A SPECIFIC power of atorney is used for this purpose.

A GENERAL POWER OF AT- TORNEY, enabling the wife, or other agent designated therein, to dispose of property (including real estate), enter contracts, etc., to the same extent as the grantor of the power, is occasionally necessary, but is dangerous in the hands of an in- experienced (business -wise) agent (wife) and should be avoided if at all possible in favor of a specific power.

The average serviceman, unbur- dened by wife, car or real estate, has no need for either, and should not be referred to the legal assis- tance officer for one just because it is free. All cases of doubt, however, should be referred to a qualified lawyer for decision.

e Armed Forces Foreign Car Club is interested in accanring new members. This organization is comprised of (members from all branches of the -Armed Forces on Oahu.

There are only two basic re- quirements to meet in order to be eligible for membership. The first requisite is that the prospective member be a serviceman or woman and the second is, that he, or she, own and drive a foreign automobile.

However, many of the members do participate in speed competition events here on the island.

The club has a garage and work shop facilities and a clubroom lo- cated at Camp Catlin. The garage has practically any tool required for working on foreign automobiles and fellow members are always available to lend a helping hand when the going gets tough or an unfor- seen problem arises.

Membership dues are five dollars a year and stall rental at the garage is four dollars per month.

AFFCC members, in addition to the social and competition events offesed. benefit from very liberal parts discount; And good relations with the community.

Any foreign auto enthusiast interested in joining the club can obtain more information from SSgt. "Skip" Schuster at 72-998, Mrs. Margaret Johnson at 72442, or ASgt. Bruce Hamper at 72-722. PFC

Dance Instructor Will Return To

Staff NCO Club The Staff NCO Club Entertainment :ommittee, with the approval of he Board of Governors, has an-

nounced that master dance instruc- or Eddie Rogers, limber-legged

maestro of the mambo, will return `o the Club at 8:15 p.m. March 3.

Since this will -mark the be-. ginning of a new class, it is an Heal time to join in the fun and frolic, to add new luster to old steps or learn new dances. Students usually select the dances

be taught by voice vote. Two dances are taught each

,eight a with roughly an hour ae- I voted to each dance Each period of ,nstruction begins with a review if the basic step then progresses to

new or advanced step. Dances being taught change

every six to eight weeks depend- ing upon the desires of the students. Rogers, who instructed classes at

he Staff NCO Club for over four 'ears, teaches all the more popular tmerican dances such as the fox- rot, waltz and jitterbug, also spe- lalizes in Latin dances such as the 'ha cha cha, rhumba. tango and 'amba.

The dance class is being reinsti- "uted after a brief shut-down. A large number of former students 'reproached the Entertainment alommittee to request that classes begin again. The Board of Govern- ors approval is conditional and pro- vides that the class must be self- supporting

Self-supporting, in this case, means that a sufficient number of students must atend the classes to Iustify the cost of the instructor 'hich is borne by the Club with no expense to the students other han Club patronage.

THE EARTH. Here's a stopper for you! Pat Boone in what is probably either a science fiction thiller or we're all wet. Six'll-get-

you-five that ol' Pat offers a tune or two wherever he is. It must be fairly good as it lasts nine minutes longer than two hours (don't forget to allow for this if you're going to the second feature). Anyhow, the flick will

be accompanied by the late (real late) news.

MONDAY WARRIOR AND THE SLAVE GIRL
