Happen When You Help Red Drive Begins Wednesday

"Good Things Happen When You Help . . ."

Red Cross Drive Begins Wednesday Brig. Gen. Weede "Once again I am pleased to

add my endorsement to the American Red Cross daring one of their annual fund raising drives. Each year the Red Cross plays a vital role-not only here at Kaneohe Bay- but at all military posts and stations throughout the world. All too often their herculean efforts go unnoticed amidst the bustle of everyday life. It should go without saying that the Red Cross offers each and everyone of us a personal "In- surance policy" that is second to atone. I urge all 1st Marine Brigade personnel to support this fine organization during the 1981 appeal for funds."

The 1961 edition of the Amer- ican Red Cross' annual fund rais- ng membership drive will debut at Kaneohe Bay next Wednesday, according to a joint statement issued this week by Brigade-Station officials and Mr. Douglas Cary, ARC Field Direc- tor.

This year's drive is being split into two definite categor- ies, Can indicated, with the 1st Marine Brigade scheduling their drive to include pay days of March 1 and 15 and Station factions holding theirs during the March 15-April 6 period. As in years past, the local

drive will feature the personal contact-contribution method with unit keymen striving for all-out 100 per cent unit contributions.

Cary indicated that the Red

Cross drive differs from other fund raising campaigns - in that the sealed-envelope contribution is abandoned. "Should an individual desire to keep his contribution amount to himself, he may furnish his own envelope," Cary said.

The 1961 campaign, which has the direct endorsement of the Department of Defense as well as Station and Brigade commanders, carries the theme "Good Things Happen When You Help." According to local Red Cross

officials 1960 was a banner year for contributions to that organiza.- lion. The 'combined 'total of dona- tions from both military and ci- Vilian factions' at Kaneohe Bay was $3',952 - an increase of more than one thottsand dollars over

that collected during 1959 and nearly two thousand more than what was donated during 1958.

Mr. Cary also pointed out that during the past 12 months financial assistance in the amount of $47,211.61 was ren- dered Station, Brigade, and 1st Composite Radio Co., personnel. Of this total, $913.50 represent- ed outright grants. Kaneohe Bay personnel were

also invited to attend a special Campaign Kick-Off tonight at the Ala Moana Shopping Center

7 p.m. During the three-hour show various "live" displays ,fea- tttring Red Cross activities will be featured.

Ken Alford and his popular Dixie Cats will be oh hand for Musical support as will various hula groups niiallasagsaakLeena.

Col. Campbell "While I did not arrive at

Kaneohe Bay in time for the 1960 Red Cross appeal I have since arriving, witnessed many of the humane acts for which the Bed Cross has become fa- mous. All of us know the tre- mendous role the American Red Cross plays in the life of a serviceman. Many times this organization is asked to make outright "gifts" in order to lessen the financial burden that is sometimes forced upon us in time of personal tragedy. For this reason, I urge all Kaneohe Bay persona.' to lend both moral and financial support to this worthy organisa- tion."

Flu Vaccination Is Urged For Marine, Dependents

Military personnel or their de- penclents in Hawaii who haven't received their influenza vaccinations should make arrangements to do so as soon as possible.

Most K-Bay military personnel have already received their flu shots, as have the majarity of dependents. If military personnel have any doubt on the mutter, they can determine if they have received the vaccinations by checking their medical records. Dependents may obtain influ-

enza vaccinations without ap- pointments at the Dependents Clinic during the following hours: Mondays and Wednesdays, 8 to 11 a.m.; Thursdays and Fridays, 8 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3:30 p.m.

Capt. William F. Lyons, USN, Officer in Charge of -Preventive Meditine Unit No. 6 at Pearl Har- bor, report's that 100 of 20800 schools' in :Tokyo, Japan, have been completely closed because of influerya. fie also noted, that there are eight clearly established deaths due to. an epidemic Of influenza there.:

There haven't been any cases of the influenza Among military personnel in Japan. Those who are ordered to Japan, back to the mainland, or even those staying

here in liawaa are urged to take no chances by seeing that they and their dependents have vaccinations.

Occupants To Move

Quarters Shuffle Slated For 'Showboat,' Quonsets

K-Bay's Public Works Depart- ment has received funds and di- rections from the Bureau of Yards and Docks to proceed with conversion of the 14 Showboat housing quarters "as soon as possible." In addition, the department has been advistel that the 15 sets of public quarters (quonset huts) along Lawrence Road must be vacated and demolished prior to June 30 of this year.

It is anticipated that residents of the affected quonset quarters will move directly into the "new" Showboat immediately following its renovation.

The announcement was made by MCAS Public Works Officer, L.Cdr, T. C. Williams, shortly after publication of last Friday's WINDWARD MARINE. At that time, the department's building and improvement program for 1961 pointed toward Showboat's conversion in "the latter months of the year."

command to make every reason- able effort to provide alternate quarters for those families now occupying Showboat. According- ly, these occupants will be provided optional access to Capehart and other public housing ahaad of some of the enlisted personnel currently awaiting assignment to those quarters.

Present estimate of the affect of this move will be to delay waiting list assignments by ap- proximately three weeks. Every effort will be made by the housing officer to "sandwich in" these residents of Showboat with individuals already awaiting assignment to quarters. Specifically, the 11 families now

occupying Showboat must be phased into public quarters by ap- proximately April 3. Occupants of quonset quarters will be ad- vised by the housing manager of the anticipated dates on which they may be expected to move.

Mokapu Drop-offs

aagerous, Illegal

Says K-Bay PMO The Kaneohe Bay Provost Mar-

tial this week reminded parents of youngsters attending Mokapu School that drop-offs on Mokapu Road were as dangerous as they are illegal.

Maj. E. R. Reid, Jr., PMO, called attention to the fact that many driveaS are letting off Mo- kapu-bound school children on the far side of Mokapu Road. "When this happens the child has to cross the busy arterial at a time when traffic is still pour- ing into the Station," the major said. /

He 440 en, drivers to iutiliZe, the driveway into Mokapu school for their drop-offs. In addition, the major warned, MPs are now authorized to issue citations for Mokapu Road drop-offs.

-gthifair'Competition? It's odd how many men resent a winner. They're the men

who, when they were boys back in school, hooted at the brightest kid in the class, the "smarty" who walked away with the prizes. They felt that it was downright unfair of him to apply himself to his studies so diligently.

He is the man now - enlisted or commissioned - who takes to training with healthy zest, accepting it as a challenge to his stamina, his capacity to learn new ways of doing things. If he attends a service school he's once again the student seek- ing to advance himself and enlarge his proficiency.

You'll spot this man everywhere in the service - because he stands out. He's the soldier of the month, the sailor or air- man of the year in his command. But while most of us give him the "well done" that certainly is coming to him, there are always a few detractors who resent his superior performance and attribute the praise it brings him to a talent for apple polish- ing:

The top man on the career ladder is so accustomed to looking up that he hasn't lime to worry about the opinions of others. They have a chance to profit by the example he sets and they pass it up. They stay put; he keeps going up until they lose sight of him.

They all started together. The competition was equal. Unfair of him, isn't it ? (AFPS)

bile unit of the Blood Bank of Hawaii early in March will give employees a convenient oppor- tunity to donate blood to the Ci- vilian Employees Blood Bank Re- serve.

The Reserve is a cooperative endeavor through which employees are able to help both themselves and their fellow employees. All Civil Service employees and their dependents are eligible to use the Reserve regardless of whether they have mane, or can make, blood do- nations.

In 1960, 14 units of blood were used by individual employees while families of employees used 15 units.

To ensure an adequate supply in time of need, employees are strongly urged to take advantage of this visit of the mobile unit to increase the present low Reserve balance of seven units.

Employees able to donate blood should complete a pledge form available on bulletin boards or through your supervisor. You will be notified of the time and date for your scheduled donation.

NOTES

THE MEANING OF LENT

By Chaplain K. W. Carlson

In the year 303 A.D. Emperor Diocletian issued an imperial order calling for sacrifice to idols. Romanus wag a deacon in the church at Caesarea and was grieved to see many Christians, through fear, submit to the idola- trous command, and deny their faith in order to preserve their lives. When Romanus reproved them for their weakness, he was informed against, and was soon arrested and brought to trial.

He confessed to being a Chris- tian. When condemned, he was beaten with scourging, put to the rack, torn apart with hooks, and finally slain by strangula- tion. Before death he turned to the governor and thanked him; for, he said, every wound was a mouth to sing the praises of the Lord.

We have now entered into the 40 day period of Lent, in which are six Sundays; the fifth being Passion Sunday, the sixth, Palm Sunday. This is the period of special personal soul inspection and reflection; the time when preach- ing and worship is centered on the life, teaching, and sacrificial death of Christ the Saviour.

While the mood of Lent is that of grief, mourning and penitence with the dark shadow of the Cross falling over it, every passing day brings the be- liever closer to that glorious day of victory when His followers called forth in praise and amazement, "He is not here, He is risen!" Christ's virgin birth, His un-

excelled life, the Cross and the empty tomb will ever stand to guide all generations of believers through this fleeting, uncertain life to that eternal home beyond the grave.

mg information to support sick leave pay exclusion in connection with annual tiling of Federal and State tax returns.

In order to eliminate heavy year-end demands, "sick pay" information will be furnished currently, utilizing this form, upon return to duty after each absence during which this exclusion is applicable.

If you are absent from work because of illness, your sick pay exclusion starts on the eighth day of your absence, unless you are hospitalized during your illness. If you are hospitalized for at least one day because of your illness you are entitled to a sick pay exclusion from the first day of your absence including the first seven days. The hospitalization may occur at any time during your absence, not necessarily during the first seven slays.

In. filing your tax return, you do not have to itemize deductions in order to claim a sick pay exclusion, however, this information should be attached in a sepa- rate statement with your tax return. The new "Application for Sick Leave Pay Exclusion" form may be used for this urpose or it may be used to compile a sepa- rate statement for your return.

The forms are available for your immediate use from the Pay- roll Division or Administrative Divisions of departments.

Officers' Wives

-611SERVATIO rI By GySgt. Jack T. Paxton

Odds 'N' Ends Department - In a recent edition of the Advertiser -under the "History From Our Files" section - a small blurb called attention to the fact that, in 1941, a jur,.. set the value of the land now occupied by MCAS, Kaneohe Bay. The land had just been taken by the government for the proposed (at that time) Naval Air Sta- tion. The article stated: "A jury in the Federal court Tuesday set the value of unimproved rand on the Mokapu peninsula at from $1,000 to $1,250 an acre. In the case of the United States against owners of 33.9 acres recently taken by the government." Wonder how much we're worth now?

Speaking of Odds - GySgt. Jim Edmunds, Brigade Career Ap- praisal NCO, tells us that Marine Barracks, Pearl Harbor boasts an oddity when it comes to reenlistment nco's. Seems Mrs. Nathalie Lee, a Civil Service gal, handles all processing for local Marines when it comes time for discharge. Normally, she's employed in the personnel section.

And, Speaking Of Career Appraisal - Edmunds says that Sgt. Moyer, was the "sergeants and below" winner in the Brigade's Tech- nique of Instruction cdntest a while back, chalked up further laurels last week. The "on-the-ball" Marine not only finished the one-week Brigade Career Advisory School at the top of his class but set a new -99.5 per cent-record while doing it.

Short-Changed Department-At the WINDWARD MARINE when- ever something appears in print that is wrong the editorial staff blames it on the printer. The printer says that the editorial staff fouled up. Regardless, someone goofed when it came time last week to exploit the virtues of the 3rdBn., 12th Marines for their donation to the Quantico Memorial Chapel Window Fund. It was erroneously reported, in a Page One picture caption, that the Cannoneers had donated $108.29. In reality, the caption should have read $180. .

if it comes out wrong again this week we head for the nearest hill.

A Good Samaritan - What with the value of the dollar dropping faster than a deflated balloon, it "grabs you good" to realize that there are honest people left in this of world. Take the case of Mrs. Mildred S. Williams, mother-in-law of Cmdr. C. A. Briggs, Pacific Missile Range. Seems Mrs. Williams dropped a wallet containing $160 near the Malt Shop of the Main Exchange recently. Shortly there- after along came Mrs. Irene Johnson, wife of GySgt. T. N. Johnson, HqCo., Service Bn. Spotting the wallet she immediately checked with a sergeant in the MX and was told the best thing to do would be to turn it into the Sergeant of the Guard. This she did and prompt- ly walked away-leaving no name, no nothing. The guard shack called the main gate and a search was instituted for a woman of Mrs. Johnson's description. To make a long story short,Mrs. Williams did get in touch with Mrs. Johnson to offer her thanks and, we under- stand, a reward. We doff our editorial cap: In this day and age, hon- esty like that is like a breath of fresh air!

Sure, and it will be a fine day for the Irish! And just in case you haven't guessed 'tis our March luncheon, Tuesday on the seventh and the shamrocks will be very much in evidence!

St. Patrick is said to have brought Christianity to Ireland and, legends say, drove the snakes out of Ireland, brought darkness upon his enemies, and performed many miracles. No wonder they named a special day for him!

At this luncheon we will also be honored with a guest speaker whose lectures have d r a w n crowds wherever he has spoken. We are very fortunate to have Dr. Mitsui Aoki from the Uni- versity of Hawaii who is head of the Department of Religion. Come and be with us.

Our social hour will begin at 11 a.m on the lower lanai of the Officers' Club and reservations can be made with either Tony Kilduff, 253-054 or Julie McArdle, 72662. And will you be there. darlin'?

home and family. All items are used.

Leave Regs Are Revised By HQMC

The Marine Corps is revising its leave regulations to bring them into line with service-wide policies of the Defense Depart- ment, the NAVY TIMES reported this week.

The changes: Increase the maximum ad-

vance leave which may be granted from 30 to 45 days.

Change the amount of excess leave which may be granted so that the total of all leave will not add up tc more than 60 days. The previous maximum was 90 days. "Total of all leave" means either advanced leave plus excess leave, or accrued leave plus advanced leave plus excess leave.

Officers authorized to grant regular leave can okay advance and excess leave within the above maximums. Requests for leave beyond these maximums will be referred to the Commandant.

Parking Studies Begin At Tripler

During the past months the availability of parking facilities for outpatients visiting Tripler Army Hospital has reached the critical stage.

Consequently, a study is being conducted with a view toward making additional parking spaces available for outpatients and visitors to the hospital. It is anticipated that, as a result of this study, parking facilities for staff and duty personnel will be affected and that certain facilities currently used will be relocated.

Further information regarding the results of the study and changes to be made will be published at a later date.

Plan Ahead

Career Programs Outlined For Marine Corps Reserve Officer's

To bolster a sagging inactive reserve officers program, the Mr.- rine Corps has come up with a career plan that reserve officers can sit*, their teeth into, kie NArif TIMES reports.,

Tile plan is bas'ect on reccian- mendations of the Marilee Corps Reserve Policy Board.

Theatelft offering bothiOg that hasn't already been available, the new program, outlined in Marine Corps order 157051.11. blueprints for the inactive reserve officer the courses he will have to follow to round out a successful career.

It will enable an officer to plan ahead with definite milestones to achieve. By following the outlined plan, Marine Corps officials say, the inactive officer should find himself fully qualified and effectively trained for his mobil- ization billet.

There are two basic plans sketched by the order, one for ground officers and the other for aviators. The ground officer's program shows him the way through volunteer service with the emphasis being placed on activity with volunteer training units. The aviation career program is divicl- cd into distinct Class II and Class III patterns.

The assignments outlined would guide an officer, after he has completed his initial period of active duty, through service wtih an organized unit, active duty for training, and Class 11X concurrent training. Reserve officials point out that

it would be entirely possible for aviation officers to spend their entire 20 years in the Reserve in a Class III (non-pay) status, and still earn enough points to retire. They gave special consideration to the scarcity of aviation training detachments when they set up the Class III patterns for aviators.

Ground Officers, on the other hand, must associate themselves with an organized unit sometime during their 20 years of service, for at least three years,' The

ENLISTED WIVES

By Bose Maite Hayes '

TEA FOR TWO - Well, ac- tunny it was more like coffee foie twenty as Mrs. W. R. Campbell entertained the old and new officers and the committee heads of the Enlisted Wives Club at tier lovely hilltop home. It Was a vqvY momentous occasion and 111s. Campbell proved to be a most gracious hostess. Thank you so Much for having us.

Also in the spotlight this week was the monthly meeting of the Enlisted Wives Club, which proved to be a success and the new officers ably conducted the business session, which later gave way to two very interesting speakers, Mrs. Durrence of the Territorial Hos- pital and Mr. Wiliam-Walker of the Better Business Bureau. Few people realize that this or-

' aviation, when founded, was the first of its kind, since before the unly Marine Corps organized groups of wives were the Staff NCO wives and the Officers wives. You too can be a part of this growing group and learn more about the base, the islands, and even the Marine Corps through the many programs, tours, speakers, etc., which will be offered to you. Do join us won't you? Make your husband's tour of duty hero at Kaneohe the best ever for you. And all you Navy wives at E-5 and below are more than welcome. For further information call 72376.

ground officer career pattern shown, in the new order devotes eight years to organized unit duty.

Marine spokesmen explained that the career patterns envis- ioned by the order were only suggested plans and that it was up to the individual officer to take the action necessary to get his particular pattern into oper- ation. The Corps does not plan to get behind him and shove, they cail,

is highly recommended, particu- larly for those officers who want activh duty for training and thdse who need billets with paid units to round-out their career patterns.

Recent related actions have made VTU membership more at- tractive especially for the younger officers who are serious about a reserve career. An effort has been made to clear the way for them to advance up the promotion ladder with a greater degree

Officials pointed out that, while of chances for success than had in Class III, membership in a VTU been theirs before.

During the past two months, shark encounters have been quite numerous. Incidents of sharks stealing fish from stringers and the sighting of passing or circling ;harks are becoming common- place. Some advice: Don't swim in murky waters. Don't carry ,our catch tied to your waist. Use at least a 20 foot stringer. If you cut yourself, leave thu water,

Always dive with a spear, spear gun, crow bar or other heavy ob- ject to fend off a shark who be- comes too inquisitive. If a large shark or sharks or sighted, leave the water by swimming steadily and silently. Don': splash around.

Sharks can usually be spooked by blowing bubbles at them, yelling underwater or hitting them a good blow on the nose.

Cheer up, the odds of being bit- ten or attacked are about the same as being struck by light- ning in Kaiser's Lagoon. Mahalo, and NEVER DIVE ALONE.

The LPH-4 (USS Boxer) and LPH-5 (USS Princton), both con- verted CVS's (Essex class carriers), are set up to handle a bat- talion landing team of about 2,000 Marines, a helicopter squadron, and, if necessary, a brigade or task force headquarters.

Presidential Order To Accelerate Payment Of GI Insurance Dividends

In response to instructions by the President, the Veterans Ad- ministration is taking immediate steps to speed payments of more than a quarter billion dollars in

Reserve Instructors Get Per Diem During Training Exercises

Active-duty Marines assigned to training exercises with the Re- serves or NROTC are now eligible for per diem, the Secretary of the Navy has ordered.

According to a NAVY TIMES story, enlisted men working in field maneuvers where government quarters and messing facilities are available will get $1.50 a day. Officers will get $6 a day.

If quarters or messes are not available, higher rates are possible. But few will qualify for them since this is field duty.

Government quarters, for example, will include "tents, dug- outs, lean-tos or lesser shelter common to the field duty to which ordered." The Secretariel directive reme-

dies a lapse In regulations which cost many Marine:. money while assigned field training with Re- serves.

The Navy has paid this type of per diem for some time. The Ma- rines stopped the practice after the Comptroller General said the way they did it was illegal. The new directive was written to make it possible for the Marines to resume payments.

insurance dividends to veterans A total of 25,850,000 will be

distributed to some 4,000.000 World War II veterans holding National Service Life Insurance (NSLI) and to about 260,000 World War I veterans who have U.S. Government Life Insurance (USGLI) policies. Of the total. $240,000,000 will be paid on NSLI policies and $18,500,000 on USGLI policies. The VA said the agency would

use every resource in an all-out effort to place as many of the dividend checks as possible in the mails before the end of winter.

Since many veterans hold more than one policy, although the aggregate may not exceed $10,000 of insurance in force, dividends will be paid on nearly 5,560,000 sepa- rate policies.

Setting June 30, 1961, as an outside limit for bat -ins all the policy dividends paid, VA officials said even this dat.'! would ant the payment time-table pre- vailing in other years by exact- ly one-half. They expressed the hone however that concentrated effort would result in total payment welt in advance of the J.tne 30 d ate. Normally, yearly dlyldenss are paid over a full 12. month pp rice. The VA explained that divi-

dends such as will be paid on World W-1- I and World War H policies are primarily a refu..d to the veteran policyholders of part of their premium payments.
