Editor's Corner

Uncle Sam Presents How would you like to have Uncle Sam himself call regularly,

to put an envelope-full of something better-than-cash into your hard?

Can he done! He won't actually call in person, but his mes- senger. .our postman. may deliver the envelope. or your Per- sonnel Office will see that you have the contents--even if ex- pected. a happy surprise in a way!

For it's a NEW United States Savings Bond. which. thanks to the Payroll Savings Plan, you may purchase on the installment plan.- by allotment from your pay. right here where you are stationed.

NEW in the fact that it earns faster- matures sooner-than E Bonds you bought before February 1. 1957. New in a more favorable rate at which the inteftst is compounded. so that if you have to redeem a Bond before it reaches maturity and full face value, your return is better. Soon. it will be somewhat new in appearance too-but whatever the form and size. it still is "The Security that Spells Security," the investment hacked by the full faith and credit of the United States.

Sign up for Payroll Savings and the NEW Series E Bond, which earns 31/4 per cent when held to maturity-and reaches maturity nine months sooner! For the big things in your life- the better Bond!

How You Fit in the Big Picture Knowing your own job isn't enough. To be an effective mem-

ber of the Armed Forces. a man has to be aware of much more than his immediate duties.

Ideally, each serviceman would understand completely why each service exists, and what functions it is fulfilling. Ideally. he would know his exact spot in the big picture.

The reason for such a demanding set of ideals is that the in- dividual is part of a massive. complex team-the Armed Forces.

Now Le.T's SEE...IF I TRANScORtyi THE COL.NTER-ACT'vF GYROMETEZ

pow; HUN? .,,,L2.4ArJA cons 7

W hat the rest of the team is doing is important to each member, whether he be in an infantry platoon. a missile unit or an aviation crew.

The ideal of the perfectly informed serviceman is like any ideal: It is important as a goal, a constant reminder that a better job is always possible.

The best place for a man to begin is right in his own unit. An understanding of shat his buddies are doing is a big help in learning the real importance of his own job.-(AFPS)

How's Your Driving? By L. J. HENRY

At long last, rolling stops are now within the law.

The "Yield-Right-of-Way sign is slowly replacing stop signs at intersections. where visibility and surroundings permit. This is the best break the driver has had since the horse and buggy. but don't let this new idea suck you into a trap!

If you ever barge through a "Yield Sign- ar.d get yourself tanOed up with somebody else's fender. you're holding the bag. and the police consiJer this a perfect setup! There's no argu- ment to settle because an accident would be proof enough in any court that you've carried the new idea too far.

the

IC-BAY KIBITZER by Bradley

I've always heard tell that each of us should learn somethinr, yew every day. I think my experience last Friday should be good for a couple of days at least.

I learned that when the doctor advises against gull g into-tle low pressure chamber if you've got a cold. he means it.

After many months of nothing but problems in ai ranging for ;e: e hoot: (31 KGL to go through the low pressure chamber. he time arrived Friday. A special schedule was set up for him .nd he made it. Even if I did have the first severe cold in two

.ears I wasn't going to let that throw us.

The doctor painted a rather unhappy picture of what could happen if you have a cold or sore throat. Such things as pain- ful ear blocks and sinus blocks were mentioned. When I entered the chamber I did so with anything but joy in my heart.

And. su -e enough, I get an ear block. In fact. not just one

ear but both. The man was right. it extremely painful. Thank, to the prompt assistance of personnel on duty at the chamber. the pressure was relieved and I'm as hale and hearty as ever.

At least, by golly. Gene and I have both been checked out in the low pressure chamber and the 1st Marine Brigade will be

able to take Gene for the long-awaited jet ride. With what li:e intrepid Good taped at the low pressure chamber tied in with a

omplete recording of the jet ride, a real fine program for NBC's Monitor should result.

I have discovered a genuine. sure-fire means of waking an.- body up. I know because it happened to me and I'm known a- a

heavy sleeper. The other night. hour unknown but probably about 2 a.m.. I

came straight up out of bed with both feet churning air and my close-cropped hair rapidly shedding all over the hedcloth .. The most frightful. blood-curdling shrieks were issuing at axi- mum volume from the direction of the living room.

By the time I hit the deck and charged into the other root!, three dark blobs scooted across the floor and out the front door. Now I mean to tell vou that if you've never had a cat fight in your liviing room in the wee hours of the morning. vou haven t lived life to its fullest extent.

We have a little hole in our screen door that the family tom- cat uses. Apparently he had invited two friend- in on this par- ticular night. W hat brought on the altercation 1 know not but altercation they did have in the finest cat fashion.

I've heard eats fighting outside on dark nights and I've heard cats call to their mates on moonlit nights. But let me assure vou that there is nothing that can compare with three cats fighting in the living room.

It stands to reason that a certain hole in a screen door no longer exists. It also stands to reascn that one more exhibition like that will result in a certain tomcat not being in evidence around my house any more.

Th:s one tickles me but it also worrie- me. Somehow it seem- to indicate a reputation I can do without. Anyway. I had a

had cold last week and spent Saturday afternoon in bed trying to shake it. M. wife apparently- had passed the word to th'

ounggers to be quiet so that I could sleep Late in the afternoon I got up and was sitting in the living

room reading when my son came to the door and inquired in a low voice if I was awake yet. He couldn't sec me but I coup' hear him clearly.

My wife stepped from the kitcher to the door with an empty pitcher in her hard that frequently is used for the mixing of martinis. Before she could say a word. my boy said in a loud vojec. -Oh. he's awake. You're making. martinis.-

In 4th Marines Reenlistment Competition Heading the list in company level competition within the 4th

Marines, Weapons Co., 1st Bn., attained the highest reenlist- ment percentage by reenlisting 10 Marines from an assigned quota of 5.09 for percentage of 196 during the quarter ending in August.

During this time the 4th Marines transferred 40 Marines to the Mainland for discharge who were eligible and recommended for reenlistment. A total of 90 Leather- necks were reenlisted during this period for a reenlistment rate of 69 per cent for the quarter.

All commanding officers ani re- enlistment NCO's were congratu- lated by Col. George A. Roll, CO, 4th Marines for their continuing outstanding performance in the re- enn lment field. "The results ob- tained by Weapons Co., 1st Bn.; "C" and H&S Co., 3rd Bn.; and "F', "E" Co.'s. 2nd Bn. ; during the past quar- ter are particularly gratifying."

The top five companies in the 4th Marines are Wpns. Co.. 1st Bn., (196 per cent ; "C" Co.. 1st Bn. (131 per cent) H&S Co., 3rd Bn. (129 per cent: ..F' Co.. 2nd Bn. (124 per cent); and "E" Co . 2nd Bn. (103

New water tanks have also beer installed by Army engineers and it is anticipated that water will not be in such short supply this year as it bas been in the nast.

There are enough heaters t take care of all quonsets and tents This is a comforting thought with re- ports that temperatures already are reaching down to the neighborhood of 40 degrees at night at the 6.500 ft level of Mauna Kea where the base camp is located. High daytime temperatures normally are in the low 70's.

Showers, galleys. sick bay. chapel. laundry units and exchange will help to make life at the base camp reasonably pleasant.

The Army's 4th Calvary is cur- rently training at the Pohakuloa area.

The initial Brigade element is expected to embark for the Big Is- land on LSTs at K-Bay on Sunday. Sept. 29. The three infantry bat- talions of the 4th Marines will take Part in the Pohakuloa training in stages carefully planned to avoid overtaxing base camp facilities.

Each battalion will spend about eight or nine days on Hawaii.

Prompt Attention Saves Boy's Life

Four year old Corky Rexroad. son of Capt. Donald N. Rexroad, was brought to the Station Dis- pensary at 9 p.m. Monday night where an emergency tracheotomy was performed to clear his throat.

MARINE CORPS FIRES SALVO AT MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS

WASHINGTON, D. C.--Headquarters Marine Corps fired an- other salvo last week in its war against vehicle accidents. The Corpe announced that it will conduct a Driver Safety In- .truetor Course at Marine Corps Schools. Quantico, Va. during 0e, her. The two one-week courses wit] be held for Marine staff non-corrunissioned officers from 19

commands throughout the United States. The first class will convene on Oct. 14 and the second on Oct. 21

More than 60 Marine NCOs will attend the course conducted by the American Automobile Association. The program is designed to train selected personnel to be qualified driver safety instructors. Upon returning to their commands the NCOs will be qualified to serve as instructors in the AAA driver safety training course. Marine Commandant, Gen. Ran-

dolph Moe. Pate, explained that this program will have two major benefits First. it will materially as- sist commands in their efforts to reduce their motor vehicle accident rates. Secondly, there is a strong possibility that graduates of the safe driving course will eventual'; be eligible to receive reduced au- tomobile insurance rates. This lat- ter benefit will depend on the Ma- rine Corps' ability to show a mark- ed improvement in its motor ve- hicle accident rate as a result of this program.

FEDERAL SERVICE ENTRANCE EXAMS

The Federal Service Endranoe Examination announcement No. 25 is on an open-continuous basis. The The ',SEE register is appropriate for filling GS -5 -7 level positions in many types of work. All qualified persons are urged to make an ef- fort to take this examination. An employee who has passed the FSEE may find promotional opportuni- ties open to him which he could never hope to qualify for under the specialized-experience standards.

The pa8stng of this written test is a requirement for non-competitive actions at the GS-5-7 levels for po- sitions such as Personnel Assistant, Position Classifier, Employee Rela- tions Assistant, Management Anal- yst. Budget Examiner. and Training Assistant.

Another important point : Since the FSEE is designed to identify college caliber people. it never hurts one to be able to say he has passed it, whether or not the position ap- plied for is within the coverage of the examination!

Card Form 5000AB only is re- quired to file for this examination and may be obtained from the In- dustrial Relations Department.

WHERE ARE THOSE EMPTIES? Personnel who patronize the bot-

tle dispensing soda machines are cautioned to be sure to return all empties to their place in the racks next to the machines.

A considerable number of bottles turn up missing every month, as a result of which the Civilian Em- ployees Relief Fund is suffering a loss of revenue. In addition. bottles lying around can create a safety hazard.

Employees prefer bottle to cup machines. Let's "police" this empty bottle situation to assure that the bottle machines remain in oper- ation!

WHERE'S MY BENNY SUGG' Occasionally employees wonder

what happens to their beneficial suggestions when they leave this activity and are sent to higher head- quarters.

They are forwarded to the Bureau of Aeronautics for two reasons:

When the beneficial suggestion involves a policy matter for decision by higher authority. or is something already adopted locally that possi- bly other naval activities can use and which therefore may tnean an additional award for the suggester.

What does BuAer do with the suggestion? If it is a matter under the jurisdiction of BuAer, it is for- warded to the appropriate division.

, If it is a matter under the jurisdic- I tion of another Bureau. they trans- mit it to the proper Bureau. such as BuShips, BuOrd. etc.

Why cannot the suggestion be sent straight to the Bureau that has jurisdiction? Existing regulations prohibit this. Each Bureau prefers to keep abreast of the suggestions originating from its own field activi- ties.

How long does a'l this take? Quite a while. Your Industrial Relations Department ha.: some beneficial suggestions forwarded to the Bu- reau which are over a year old. Any returned in less than eight months is considered excellent.

Why does it take so long? For several reasons. One is shortage of

!help in the Bureau-they have cell- ' ing and budget problems also.-For another, the upsurge in submission of beneficial suggestions has created a terrific load on the Bureaus.

Why doesn't the Industrial Rela- tions Officer ask the Bureau to hur- ry these suggestions? The Indus- trial Relations Department does not trace these suggestions because they have been asked not to do so. At the recent Western Regional Incentive Awards Conference in Los Angeles, the Bureau of Aeronautics Incentive Awards representative stated the's' had an eight months backlog in BuAer on suggestions forwarded. He asked all conferees present not to trace these suggestions since it meant an additional month's delay on the suggestion being traced.

Steven John. son of Sgt. and Mrs. Arlen J. WaLster. of 132 Maluniu ave /Callus, on Sept 10.

Why was a Marine officer leading a flight of Air Force planes. and what sort of man is he?

John Franklin Bolt is a quiet in- dividual. A native of Florida. he is soft spoken and mild mannered with a trace of southern accent Along with his easy manner he also generates force. with a self- confidence instilled by 16 years of Marine training

bility.

LT. COL. BOLT

guns of an F -86 Sa- brejet, Lt. Col. Bolt learned to be-

. come a MIG killer. On May 16. 1953

just south of the Yalu river. his flight engaged 12 of the Red jets. and he made his first "kill." During June he shot down three more

Time was running out on his Ko- rean tour . He requested and re- ceived a three month extension order to complete his tour with the Air Force.

July 11. four Chinese jets left their Annum, Manchuria air base to attack two arrogant Sabres across the river. With that action they inked in another chapter in Marine aviation history. For his performance in Korea

Lt. Col. Bolt was awarded the Navy Cross, and the Air Force bestowed upon him. his third Distinguished Y.ying Cross.

He was indoctrinated in aerial combat and christened an ace in the Solomon Islands while serv- ing with Maj. Gregory "Peppy" Boyington, and the "Black Sheep" of Marine Fighter Squadron 214 (now redesignated Marine Attack Squadron 214).

"Boyington's Black Sheep" were what the name implied. an outcast group which was first called I un- officially) "Boyington's Bastards." An account of the squadron's early beginning said. ney had been hastily formed from a collection of casual i unassigned'. transfer. and replacement pilots The skipper had just been discharged from a hos- pital. The intelligence officer was a refugee from a disbanded balloon barrage outfit

From this group came one a the Pacific's deadliest combat or- ganizations. Two- fourteen con- ducted a highly effective war against the Japanese and won high honors and fame. Her pilots became known throughout the war zone. holt himself shot down six Zeros to become an ace. In addition to knocking down

Zeros. he conducted a "one -man show" against enemy shipping. and helped destroy enemy installations. For his heroic actions with the Black Sheep in the Solomons cam- paign. Bolt received two Distin- guished Flying Crosses.

Later, while on his second tour of duty in the Pacific Bolt achieved more fame when he flew a Corsair plane for more than 14 hours traight. to set a new endurance for ingle engine planes When the Korean conflict brought

peril to Asia. he again flew comoat missions in the Pacific.

Assigned to VMF-115 with the 1st Marine Air Wing. he helped pioneer fighter -bomber tactics which were to raise much havoc with Communist supplies and in- stallations. These tactics, he says, are his biggest pride. Using special fuses and bombs

developed by the VITF-115 ord- nance section. Bolt showed the de- structive power of wide dispersion phosphorous bombs on enemy sup- plies and eauipment. Commenting on this. he said. -These were the most thoroughly destroyed targets that I have ever seen."

His opportunity to meet the sleek Russian- built MIG's came when the Fifth Air Force invited our Marines to fly with them oi. an exchange basis for a 9e-day tour. This meant a chance for Ma- rine pilots to fly an aircraft which could match the speedy MIG's in firepower. speed, and maneuvers-

Bowlers Meet Fort Shafter

The Kaneohe MCAS Bowling Team will meet the Fort Shafter keglers tonight at the Schofield lanes in a contest slated to begin at 6:30 p.m

The local Marines have compiled a record of eight wins against four defeats in the Armed Forces Classic Bowling League play and are now tied for third place. Naval Base, P. H. is leading the league with a very fine won-lost record of 91i- 2I s The half-games were a result of a tie game between Pearl and NAS. Ford Island.

There are 18 teams entered in the Armed Forces circuit which began on Aug. 16 and will con- tinue play until the last of Jan- uary.

Leading the MCAS team thus far is Sgt. Glen Slusher and Cpl. Frank OBryant with identical game averages of 179. Following right behind them with a 178 is TSgt Art Culver. TSgt. Von Mi- chael is next with 177 and he is also closely followed by Sgt. Roger Smith who is sporting a 176 mark. It is interesting to note that only three points separate the top five men on the squad. TSgt. James Thresher has a respectful 170 av- erage to round out the team's scoring. - -

THURSDAY, SEPT 5

Hawaii 5-San Diego 4

The FMFPAC contingent jump- ed off to an early lead by scoring a single run in the top of the first inning on third baseman Jack Kel- ler's sacrifice fly after San Diego hurler Earl Wilson had loaded the bases with three walks. The Hawaii representatives went on to tally two more runs in both the sixth and seventh frames to win the contest. San Diego threatened in the ninth on a leadoff homer by pinch hit- ter Jim Pyles, three walks. and an infield hit which accounted for

;their third and fourth runs. San

Marine SSgt. Michael Pietroforte of Rockville Center. N. Y.. gained new laurels for himself and the United States Marine Corps when he won the 1957 National Service Rifle Championship.

Pietroforte was formerly sta- tioned aboard MCAS here from Jan. 8. 1956 until June 1, 1957. as a rifle marksmanship instructor at the rifle range. During his tour of dut here he was sent TAD on nine different occasions to com- pete in rifle matches all over the U.S. and Hawaii. The sharpshooting Leatherneck

fired a record breaking 738 points out of a possible 750 to become the new national champion and Nation- al Match record holder. Pietroforte's score. an aggregate of seven gruel- ing. tension-packed individual matches over a period of six days. in which an estimated 2.000 of the na- tion 5 most outstanding riflemen vied for top honors. came within

points of the superior bolt gun open rifle match record.

This is the second Year straight that the Marine ( orps has held the Service Rifle Championship. In 1956. SSgt. James E. Hill set a

A DAY'S FISHING AT KANEOHE netted SSgt. Bill gorgman, ex-Aku Ma- Club president Larry Wind ley, Capt. Bill Brothers, and civilian Burt Lang (left to right), a fine. assorted catch including lobsters, vari- ous pan fish and a 45 pound ulua. See "Aku Marines," below for com- plete story of last week's skin diving expedition in the waters around MCAS.

Mokapu Area and Moku Manu Site of Weekend Skin Diving Trip

By SSGT BILL BORGM.4N The excellent weather conditions on Oahu's indward side

Nveek,.rf! afforded skio diyira enthusiasts an opportunity to explore the area's dee' hi;,, waters and member., of the (ku Nforire.. were no exception. Skippered by TSgt. Carl Johnston, the eltib.F. 28 foot cabin crui-er. "Aku," left its boathouse dock at 8 a.m. with a four man crew com- posed of yours truly. Capt. Bill Brothers. ex-Aku Marine club presi- dent. Larry Wind ley. and civilian Burt Lang.

Our skin diving quartet planned to make some test dives in the waters off the Ft. Hase arra and Moku Manu Island to see whether the fishing had improved or slacked off since a few months ago. ' e made our first dlve near \Ton-

sment Pt.. about 100 yards of fshibe. and found the water there clouded from disturbance. As a result only a few lobsters were taken and a small number of fish were seen. However. Larry Wind ley and I made an unusual sighting durnig our first dive : a good sized grey shark with a predominant black Etripe on its side. This type of share sr-St usually seen in the area sur- rosnding MCAS.

Our next dive was made after a short run with our boat to the seaward side of Moku Manu Is- land. We towed a diver behind the boat until he spotted the fingers of the first reef and there an- chored. Our dive in these waters was a relatively short plunge be- cause of the 75 foot depth which exhausted our single tank air sup- ply quite rapidly. However, the dive was rewarding for Larry who speared and boated a 45 pound ulna and Capt. Brothers who hagred an assorted catch of me- dium sized fish.

Our third and last dive for the day was made along the steep cliffs

the west side of Ulupau Head. The water. by the time we arrived there was a hit choppy but we fi- nally. anchored at about the 30 foot level. Working the shore line on out. we found the botiom rocky and explor..c1 the many caves carved into the rs -1-. base. To our surprise only a few lobsters were taken and missed my chance for a 20 pound ulna. I had just broken my gun when the 20 pounder swam toward me and watched me curiously for a moment before turning tail and speeding off. All I could do was watch helplessly.

Finally, we decided to call it a day and made onr way back to the "Aku." waterlogged but happy. This didn't necessarily mean the

end of our trip. however. as many jobs such as cleaning the boat. and washing the tanks. regulators. and spears remained to be dope. Also. the fish had to be cleaned and dur- ing this time numerous friends dropped by to inquire as to the what. where. and hs of the days fishing. Answering these questions and taking a minute to tell the stor- ies of the "lug ones that got away"

made the time pass nuicklv find be- 'ore long the sun had set and it was time to "rack out."

got sta,:ted as do at rumors: no one knows where or how, it just starts and grows. What's the rumor? Well, it's this: the minimum bow weight has been changed to 50 pounds.

Now for the straight scoop. The Territorial Fish and Game Com- mission informed me Tuesday that Reg. 14, Sec. 6. "Specifica- tions for Bows and Arrows" is still in effect. It states, "Mini- mum bow weight-45 pounds at a maximum draw.' The Roving Range is partially

completed. but can, and is being used. There are 14 targets and the range rules will be printed later. The main rule is the same as on all ranges: Safety! Horseplay and carelessness will not be tolerated. Maps on how to get to the range and of the range itself are forth- coming.

The time for shooting at the Rov- ing Range has been changed from Saturday to Sunday at 1 p.m.

Anyone interested in archery is more than welcome to come out and join us or observe; so come on out and enjoy a good sport. If you want more information give me a cal:: HMI Filers (72743) or SSgt. Mitchell (72839). Hope to see you at the range soon.

Loan Entitlement May Be Restored Under VA Ruling

No GI loan entitlement can be restored unless the Vete.ans Ad- ministration is relieved of liability on the original :oan. the VA warned recently.

Formerly restoration of GI loan eligibility was made only if a vet- eran sold his GI purchased home because of a job change or transfer to another city was involuntary or beyond the veteran's control.

Under a new ruling. however. a veteran moving to a different city because of a new and better job may be entitled to new GI loan eligibil- ity, even though the job change was voluntary.

"Better job" was defined by the VA as being one that would in- crease the veteran's income or provide him with greater oppor- tunity for advancement. The new ruling also applied to veterans moving to a different city follow- ing retirement.

However. before the entitlement can be restored, the original loan must be paid in full, either by the veteran or the new purchaser.

Other circumstances under which a veteran may he entitled to a new GI loan eligibility are when the prop- erty (1) Was taken by a governmen- tal agency for public use: 12) Was destroyed by natural hazard: cr (3) Was disposed of for compelling rea- sons of health, or other specified reasons beyond control of the vet- te ran.

Superstitious Urged to Watch Step;

Today Is Fateful Friday the 13th If you're superstitious, you

had better avoid walking under ladders, and clasp a four-leaf clover or rabbit's foot-at least until today is done. It's Friday the 13th. traditionally a day of bad fortune.

Today is the first Friday the 13th we've had this year. We'll have another in December. Next year we will fare much better. for there be no Fridays Jailing on the 13th. Last year. 41956 we hit the jackpot with three.

Friday the 13th achieved fame for infamy) as a particularly un- lucky day through a combination of myth and fact. First, Friday, which has a history of mischance, and second, 13, which is consi- dered an unlucky number. Here's how it happened. In early times. the Encyclopedia

Americana says. Friday was long as- sociated in the public mind with

Friday was also the day on

the Greek. Latin and other ('hrist- Ian episcopal churches as a fast day except when Christmas falls on a Friday.

According to the Mohammedans. Friday was the day when Adam was

created, entered Paradise. was ex-

the day of resurrection. An incident in Norse mytho:o7.

appears to be the basis for the no-

toriety of unlucky 13. According to

the Encyclopedia of Superstitions twelve gods were invited to a festi%e

dinner. The unpopular Loki, Norse ,God of Mischief. attended the event uninvited and as a result of one of

his pranks. a favorite god was kil-

led. Since Loki was the 13th god at the party. the numeral 13 since

then has been identified with mis- fortune
