Task Force 'Copters Team With 5 Nations For Joint Exercises

Sharp 'confer crews from Kaneohe's HMR-I61, MAG-I3, teamed up with Royal Thai and U.S. Marines in Bangkok, Thailand, recently to demonstrate the helicopter phase of operation "Firm Link."

The three-day exercise featured war games staged by the United States, Great Britain, Thailand, Austria, New Zeland and the Philippines.

HMR-161 left Kaneohe aboard the USS Princeton Jan. 25 and was ferried to Japan where they joined MAG-16 and the 1st Bn., 4111imil :-(th Marines. The air-ground team embarked shortly thereafter for the Gulf of Thailand.

Landing at Bangkok's Don Maung International Airport, the 1st Bn. encamped under field con- ditions for three day as part of the exercise among SEATO na- tions.

Workhorses of the three-day exercise. 161's whirlybirds ferried Marines to and from the Mainland. carried Thai dignitaries. press cor- respondent,- and maintained a sup- ply and courier service for men ashore.

Highlight of the program was the second day's demonstration which was witnessed by an es- timated 300,000 Thailand specta- tors.

A large U. S. Naval task force, headed by Rear Adm. Lester K. Rice whose flag is on the carrier Princeton. took part in the ma- neuvers. Not on the demonstra- tion agenda was the report of an unidentified submarine in the area at one point.

More than 7.000 military men from SEATO nations held a huge parade to close the three-day Southeast Asia Treaty Organiza- tions demonstration of mobility.

The Thai force is stationed at Ban Satahip on the Cambodian border.

He was initiated into the air station's Staff NCO Toast- masters Club last Monday e.enin.x. at 7.000 feet above Molokai Channel. The occasion was a joint meeting held between the Maui Toastmasters and the airborne Staff NCO's at the 'A ailuku Hotel on Maui. Seeing that they. would arrive later than scheduled. the Staff Toastmasters decided to hold the- bur.ineiss 1/4e-sf.ion in the plane and in the process initiated Tokr.tmr...ter Scott.

EDITOR'S CORNER

COMMUNISM is the greatest danger we Americans face-both inside our border and throughout the world. A great part of corn- munisre's strength lies in underdeveloped nations-nations that have not yet swung into the red orbit but that teeter perilously on the f ence.

Trying to push these countries into Russia's circle are active, local communists controlled by the Kremlin. Particularly in Asia where there is great poverty. many people are in a hurry to catch up with industrialization. They are impatient. They think they see in com- munism an opportunity to achieve quickly a higher standard of living.

Impressed by the rapid industrialization in Russia and the start made in China. they expect miracles. They don't see that people under communist control face the threat of forcd labor camps and suffer thought control-that living standards in the U.S.S.R. are still low after 38 years of red control.

We of the U. S. offer the example of our system-in which ee have achieved the highest standard of living in the world through free, enterprise. with freedom of the individual as a basic principle.

The U.S. is trying to help nations to catch up without turning to communism-through our aid programs. We hope they will become truly free and independent countries. By strengthening freedom in the rest of the world. we help maintain our freedom. (AFPS)

"Drive both cars" means that an expert, alert driver figures out what the other fellow may do and acts accordingly. Among other things, he's ready to stop for the fellow who runs through "on the yellow" and he lets the reckless passer into line. even though tempted to squeeze him.

He watches for the fellow who may pull out of a parking space and if he possibl:- can. he stays out of the way of the approaching driver who's trying to re-enter his own lane,

He shrugs his shoulders and lets t' e road hog have his way. That kind of competition is too ex- pensive. He keeps pedestrians, es- pecially children, always in mind.

NOTICE To ALL PERSONNEL CON- CERNED:

The main gate parking lot is maintained as a convenience to Station personnel while they are obtaining the necessary documents to secure a permanent Station decalcomania.

Under no circumstances can a vehicle be parked in the lot with- out a parking permit which can be obtained through the pass and tag office at the main gate.

Parking permits are issued on a 30 DAY BASIS ONLY and are not renewable. If you have a ve- hicle at the Main Gate with a parking sticker about to expire, make arrangements to remove it prior to the enn3ration date.

Message Overload Must Be Reduced

Fourteenth Naval District Head- quarters has directed that all ac- tivities in its command immedi- ately reduce in number the amount of administrative messages sent, due to communication personnel limitations.

COMFOURTEEN I n s t r u ction 2110.3 stated that daring the last six months of fiscal year 1955 more messages were handled than during the peak of World War II and the Korean War. The relay center alone processed 376.554 messages during the month of January.

Meanwhile. the Communication Station has experienced a reduc- tion in personnel and is scheduled to receive further reductions. Utili- zation of speedletters via air mail is suggested whenever pos- sible.

By SGT. WAYNE A. BUTTERBAUGH

All too often we s.e military personnel not properly wearing their decorations and ribbons. While shoes are "spit shined. uniform is dean and neat. and haircut is strictly GI, the man's ribbons are as fouled up as Cox's army. For the next two or three issues, this column will be devoted to the correct nearing of same with the hope the. those concerned will become completely squared away.

In view of the many ribbons authorized bs the United States, only the mos/ prolainent will be covered-specifically, those authorized since World War I.

All of us know -or should know-ribbons are worn in place of decorations and medals with the exception of those medals for which thert is no pendant_ They should be centered over the pocket of the left breast of the blouse or shirt as appropriate. Never are they worn on any other article of uniform.

When ribbons are worn, they will be worn without interval or overlapping in a horizontal row, if not more than three ribbons are worn. If more than three ribbons are worn, they will be arranged in parallel rows at intervals of 1 S inch. A iow of one or two ribbons, when the nearer rates four or five. will be centered over the base row of three.

When the number of ribbons rated would make too mans- rows. ribbons may be placed in rows of four. When the number of ribbons rated is so great it causes ribbons to be concealed by the blouse lapel. the number of ribbons in each row may be successively decreased upward to prevent such concealment.

Ribbons may be sewn on the blouse. with sufficient hacking to pi-, - vent wrinkling. or may be worn on a bar-as they most commonly art -and pinned to the blouse or shirt.

SENIORITY- OF COLORS

The seniority of colors based on heraldry. requires that blue. the senior color. shall be worn up ( toe and the head) and inboard (toward the center of the body from the left).

However this does not ale ays hold true in regard to foreign de- corations. Most notable example of this is the Korean Presidentual Unit Citation %here the blue half of the circle in the center is worn down. This method of wearing the KPUC conforms with the proper flying of the Korean flag of which the center portion of this ribbon Is a replica.

All stars worn on ribbon bars are placed with one ray pointing down (toward the feet).

Ribbons take precedence over one another in three bask group,: personal .iecorations. service medals and foreign decorations. How they are arranged in rows for wear is determined. more or less, by the number and kind rated. They will. however. take precedence over one another within their individual groupings e ith the highest personal decoration being placed at the top and inboard of all others. Lesser decorations folios accordingly.

NEXT WEEK: Campaign Ribbons.

MATS Offers New, Low Cost Insurance Plan

WASHINGTON (AFPS) - Air -.ravel insurance. comparable in

r-)St to that sold passengers of commercial U.S. airlines. now is available to servicemen traveling

Military Air Transport Serv- ice planes.

Rates for the new insurance are nsiderably lower than the type

previously at MATS termi- nals.

For e tamale. a 012.500 policy how can be purchased for 50 cents and is good for the length of an authorized trip anywhere in the U.S. or overseas.

Previously. a $10.000 policy cost 12 for two days or $5 for 10 days.

The insurance also can be pur- ':-srtased by rafilerary depenCnts, zavernment officials and others alithorized to travel by MATS.

MATS officials said that au- tia.rized agents will be available a' most bases to sell the in_sur- ance. Machines are being in- stalled at other terminals so that Pa-,..engers can quickly fill 'he required forms.

The low-cost insurance was made available to MATS because of :Is safety record. which is on par wAh commercial airlines.

During four of the seven years which records were available,

MATS did not have a single gas- &etarer fatality. Over all. the fa- lai:1y rate was 127 per every 100 million passenger miles.

Copies are mailed postage prepaid to the address specified by the subscriber and indicated on the back of the card.

There is no compulsion to buy a copy. If one is ordered payment is made on or immediately after the first payday following the taking of the photographs.

Each man is afforded only one opportunity to order the annual, that at the time his photograph is taken.

Public Works Keeps K-Bay 'City' Healthy

By SGT. BOB McLEAN (This is the second in a series of articles on the men and women

of Public Works. This week's chapter is on the Utilities Division.) If you are interested in anything from steam heat to ice cubes, Mr.

Edward Lum, acting leading man of the Utilities Division, is the man to see.

Mr. Lum's background is as interesting as his job. He is Chinese- Hawaiian and proud of his heritage. The 28 men who work with him represent Portugese, Hawaiian, Japanese. Caucasian, Puerto Ri- can. Chinese and Philipino racial groups.

These are the men that make possible the hot water that you shower with and the ice cubes in your tea. Of course they have some very fine machinery to help t hem.

For example. the tabular ice machine turns out 100 pounds of ice an hour and is never touched by human hands. One of the two ire machines is working. off and on. 18 hours a day.

Righ. next to the ice machines is an intricate alarm system that keeps a vigilant check on the "health" and condition of every large reefer (refrigerator) in the base. Of course daily checks are also made of all of the reefers by members of the watch. The alarm system serves as an extra safety device to ensure that the reefers are kept constantly at the proper tmperature.

Central Headquarters for ice making and refrigeration control is in the main cold storage plant, Bld. 208. Mr. Alexander Mc Angus, refrigeration and air condition mechanic and his nine helpers, are in charge of operations.

Their figures on ice consump-

tion give conclusive evidence that there are changing seasons here on Oahu. Whereas 94 tons of ice were used in August only 58.2 tons were t:sed in November of last year.

Out of the reefer into the boiler room is a sudden change but one that Mr. Liam is used to aiakiag many times during the day. He actually started as a fireman him- self and is now s heating equip- ment mechanic. There is not much that he doesn't know about boilers. and particularly the eight boilers that supply the hot water for the 9000 personnel on the base.

One is immediately impresed by the cleanliness and high level of mainterance in the two boiler plants. Improvements are con- stantly being made. Mr. Lum at- tr ibutes his success to his men.

Men like David Akui. heating equipment mechanic, and Benjamin Dennis, pipe shop boiler maker. are the kind of men he is speak- ing of. David has made several miniature replicas of the boiler plants with all of the wiring.

These replicas make useful train- ing aids in the instruction of fire- men on the operation of the plants.

Benjamin is Public Works' only boiler maker and is responsible for all boiler tests. He has a treat deal to say in any improve- ments or changes that are made in the boiler plants.

Sewage disposal is also a re- sponsibility of the Utiltities Divi- sion. Two large scale septic tanks handle this job with one man to supervise.

Ice production. refrigeration, boiler plants, sewage disposal; this is the story of the Utilities Division.

`Deduction' a Favorite Word; Itemize for Possible Savings

(This is the seventh in a series of articles on federal income tax filing for the year 1955. The articles are haaed on iintorrn3- lion furnished to AFPS by the American Institute of Accountants, the national organization of certified public accountants. and tax information a.ailable from the Navy's Bureau of Supplies. and Accounts.)

(By ARMED FORCES PRESS SERVICE) "Deduction" is the taxipayer's favorite word. Every dollar

deduct in figuring your tax puts 20 to 91 cents in your pocket, ing upon the tax bracket you're in.

Medical deductions were discussed in a previous article. Here are somc of the other deductions you may be able to take if you itemize them instead of using the short 1040A form or the standard 10 per cent deduction:

You can deduct sour contribu- tions to religious. charitable. sci- entific. literary and educational organizations. and to non-profit cemeteries.

Deduct contributions of goods at their fair value, as well as cash, but not your personal serv- ices (blood donations are regard- ed as a personal se vice and not deductible).

If you contribute stocks. real estate or other property. you can deduct their value at the time of the gift. even if it is considerably more than the original cost to you.

Big prizes are being offered to tele- vision viewers who can guess the number of sequins on the bathing suit Nancy wears in daily appear- ances on the CBS-TV show "The Big Payoff." Some of the gifts in- clude a mink coat. a trip to Europe for two, a convertible and a dia- mond ring.

You ordinarily are not permit- ted to deduct a contribution which you have only pledged and not paid during the tax year.

You can deduct up to 20 per cent of your income for any elit

charitable contributions, and up to 30 per cent if at least 10 per cent. was iii gifts to religiou5 organizations, schools or hospi- tals.

Interest you pay on personal loans and other indebtedness is deductible.

If there is a mortgage on your home. be sure to find out what part of your payments is interest and deduct it on your tax return. The same applies to automobile fi- nancing and installment purchases.

If some of your credit buying in- volves "carrying charges" instead of specified interest, you are al- lowed tc deduct such charges up to six per cent of the average month- ly unpaid balance if they are list- ed separately in your contract or bills.

Most taxes you paid for yours- if or a member of your househa-d, except federal taxes, are deducti- ble. However. taxes are not de- ductible when included in the price and not separately charged to the customer.

If you paid someone to care fzr your child under 12 because that was necessary while you were a: work, you may be entitled to a

child care" deduction of as much as $600. This deduction also a;- plies to the care of any dependent who was mentally or physically in- capacitated. Check the instructi-ra to see whether you qualify.

Don't overlook deductions for losses due to storms. shipwreck.. fires. floods. theft, and accidents not due to 3 our own negligence..

The way to figure such losses 15 explained in the instructions. _any insurance or other compensation you may have received for the damare must be subtracted from the -amount of loss.

Miscellaneous deductions to which you are entitled include the cost of uniform equipment like in- signia. braid. collar devices. etc- The cost of the uniform and its al- teration and laundering is not dr ductible, however.

U S Marines and Royal Fusiliers Exchange Greetings Twice Yearly

On the first day of March each year the traditional ''AND SAINT DAVID- message from the Royal Welsh Fusiliers is received at Head- quarters Marine Corps.

The U.S. Marines and the Royal Welsh Fusiliers (officially the 23rd British Foot) have exchanged greetings on March I (St. David's Day) and N )v. 10 (Marine Corps Birth- day) since shortly after the Boxer Rebellion.

In 1856 Capt. Josiah Tattanall. USN, commanding the U. S. man- of-war Toey-Wan. came to the aid of an English frigate under attack by Chinese p:rates, during which he uttered his memorable words, "Blood is thicker than water."

On that same spot, forty-four sears later. the Royal Welsh Fu- siliers and U. S. Marines, fight- ing side by side. wrote those

ords into actual deeds. The two organizations rendered conspi- cuous service in the Boxer Up- rising. participating in the attacks on Tientsin and the gruelling match of the International Relief Expedition to the relief of the foreign legation in Peking.

Maj. Littleton W. T. Waller, USMC, who commanded the bat- talion of U. S. Marines in the des- perate fighting under the walls of Tientsin, China, received a large

silver cup. beautifully inscribed, in memory of tnat close associa- tion in China in 1900.

In 1:40, John Philip Sousa, the world famous "March King" and leader of the Marine Band, was asked by Marine veterans of the Boxer Rebellion to commemorate their close association with the Royal Welsh. The result was "The Royal Welsh Fusiliers" march.

Raised on March 16, 1689 by William of Orange, the Royal Welsh have a distinguished re- cord of service. Their regimental colors include the names of such battles as Corunna, Savastopol, Waterloo, Bleuheim, Lucknow, Egypt, Namur, Burma, South Africa. Peking. Ypres, Somme, Vittoria Veneto, Gallipoli, Bag- dad and mans others.

From Bunker Hill to Yorktown. during the American Revolution, this famous unit fought against us. Later. Royal Welsh tradition says, members of the regiment refused to inscribe the American battles on their colors as they did not wish to remember or have posterity recall the battles they had fought against men of their own blood.

Wherever these two organiza- tions should meet the password could well be this traditional phrase: "And Saint David."

Order Defers Most Fathers from Draft

WASHINGTON (AFPS)-Presi- dent Eisenhower has signed an executive order that defers most draft-age fathers and men over 26 from induction into the armed forces, barring national emer- gency.

The order states that in the foture single men between the ages of 19 and 26 will be tie main source of manpower for selective service.

The President. said this will have the effect of making young men more conscious of their mili- tary obligation and the advantage of completing it at an early age.

It was pointed out that the change in induction procedures does not in any way affect the drafting of doctors and dentists.

Silhouettes-Interesting Outdoors or In Silhouettes are pictures that are

fun to take once in a while- whether you do them indoors or out. They aren't anything one would substitute for the usual snapshots of favorite people, but they are a nice change of pace- the variety that adds spice to our pictures.

The principle is a simple one indeed. It's merely a matter of placing the subject squarely be- tween the light and the camera.

Obviously, this isn't going to work outdoors on a bright sunny day. It would simply give you a back-lighted picture. So, for out- door silhouettes, it is a matter of getting up early or doing your picture taking late in the day. , The sun should be low-in either the east or west to produce the desired effect.

Indoors, a white sheet, a dark- ened room, your subject posed in profile, and a short time exposure'

-these are what you'll need for "Operation Silhouette." If you're shooting indoors in the daytime, stretch the sheet over a window so that the sunlight shining through will provide a luminous white background. Note that this will put the light behind the sub- ject and in front of your camera -contrary to the usual rule of having the light fall on the sub- jeot_ from behind you as you snap the picture.

With your background all set up and your subject in profile against it, next darken the rest of the room and prepare to make a short time exposure. As with almost al] picture-taking, here's a case of "no jogs allowed"-for camera movement would really be fatal to the final results This means, of course, that you'll have to place your camera on a tripod or some other firm support to hold it steady during exposure.

GAGERS LEAVE FOR STATES AND AL-MAR FINALS To Compete With East and West Coast Cage Champions

I in the CARDS

By JERRY SELLERS

All's quiet on the basketball front.

The Hawaii Marines left Monday for the Mainland, and the Infra- Station playoffs are about over.

It was a pretty nice feeling to watch the "guys" climb aboard the plane Monday in greens.

It meant that Hawaii Leethernecks would represent the whole Pacific area in the AlMar playoffs.

Right now they're probably getting a little excited about the finals.

Wel!, we wish we could be right with them, getting exci}ed too. But we do know one thing. Win, lose or draw, the players will

come back having represented the Pacific area like real champions.

And everybody will be mighty proud of them.

=0

The papers are full on "Santee this," "Santee that." It gets a little tiresome.

And it all boils down, according to all-powerful AAU, that Santee -and his wife-accepted excess expenditure money.

A report released by AAU listed seven cases where Santee or nis wife took too much travel and expense money.

So this makes him an outcast. forever to carry the ban of AAU. So here is a man-one of the best milers in

the world, incidentally-who has been singled out to bear the brunt of an organizational attack.

What about the university that played in a Bowl Game (not the Rose) a few years back?

Each and every one of the starting II received a token of appreciation? With four wheels, an engine and a top that went up and down.

Or a prominent football player who finished up his last year of college and was asked if he we.: going to play pro ball?

He said, "Yes, but it'll never make me the money I made in college."

tiu,***4, -744i

WES SANTEE

So what does this prove?

Its the same as the guy caught speeding. He can scream, "Look at those other guys zooming past!"

But it won't do him much good, because HE got caught, not the other guy.

But money-under-the-table does go on everywhere, we believe. We can name you a case, with names, dates, and places, where

a high school sophomore visited a Southern state on vacation.

He was a strapping, six-foot, 200-pounder. rive offers came in to him by individuals to pay for the rest

of his high school and college if he would just stay there and play football.

No one even knew if he was any good. With the fact established that it does happen, we are left with

the question: What happens if Santee runs the four-minute mile?

Will the AAU solemnly lower their collective heads and mutter, "It never happened, sports fans, don't believe it," and go merrily

their collective way/

If a man, whether amateur, pro, or cripple, runs the mile in four minutes, he deserves recognition.

The Marire Corps has made this known when it released the state- ment that Lt. Wes Santee, USMC, is el;gible to compete in the All- Service track and field championship at Los Angeles June 14-16, regardless of his amateur standing.

America is trying to break the Iron Curtain in the Olympics this year.

Sports is undoubtedly one of the best ways to overcome language, race and custom. Everybody knows and recognizes a man, regardless of nationality, when he runs a mile in four minutes, pole vaults 17 feet or wins "the" crown for diving.

Sammy Lee, a Korean, proved this to the world and to himself on a recent good-will tour.

But AAU says Santee is a bad boy . .

Now for a quick trip around the Corps . . . From CarriPen-Orville Neconie and Kim Johnson earned trips

to Chicago and Tourney of Golden Gloves by winning in the L. A. Golden Gloves.

From San Diego-The L. A Rams have signed MCRD football end Dick Fouts. Fullback Dick Washington is also supposed to be negotiating with the N. Y. Giants.

A clean sweep of two games straight over the 3rd Marine Divi- sion All-Star team last week quali- fied the locals to make the trip.

The All-Stars, who arrived here last Wednesday. fell before the lo- cal Leathernecks the first night 81-65, and again the second night. 85-76.

NEAR NATIONAL RECORD

PHILADELPHIA. Pa.-In one of the closest contests of a recent in- tra-company basketball tourna- ment, the Headquarters Company quintet ran roughshod over a team of unit officers.

The contest raged up and down the armory court for 20 minutes, with the final score in doubt every second of play. Members of each team grew hotter and redder at each step, slowing down only at blasts from the overworked official's whistle. Headquarters Company took a slight lead and fought valiantly to hold their edge.

At the final whistle, spectators watching the rugged contest still weren't quite ?UTE who fielded the better team. The final tally- - Headquarters 2-Officers 0.

GOLF

By JIMMY UKAUKA

Steve Warren-who has done much for local golf. stimulation- wise-finally finds himself perched atop the Golf Ladder.

After another unsuccesful attem- pt at dislodging the "Champion" Walt Lawson, Saturday, Warren bounced back Sunday afternoon, taking a iour-up lead on the first nine holes. He barely eked out a triumph as his youthful adversary started gnawing away at his lead.

Lawson needed but an eight-inch putt on the 18th green to tie the match and send it into holes.

But while addressing his ball on the title putt (which is normally conceded), Lawson made the "in- fant's mistake" of listening to the foxy challenger describe the vil- lainous uncultivated terrain that existed between his ball and the cup, and stabbed hurriedly at the ball, sending it spining around and wit of the hole.

And so a new king is born; one who will continue to make "news" with a golf swing that is as dif- ferent as a hydrant sprinkling on a dog.

Th- veteran golfer, a terrific competitor, claims that he has fashioned his swing after several "fellow" Texas, such as Hogan, Nelson, Demaret and Bolt.

The similarity, however, could not be spotted through the thick lenses of the Mt. Wilson Obser- va tory.

Warren claims that he used the "Tommy Bolt" swing exclusively in dethroning Walter Lawson.

Several other changes took place on the Ladder. Ben Martin, who announced "I Am Back" several weeks ago, has worked himself up to the number three spot. Martin also gave a good account of him- self in a challenge match against Steve Warren, bowing in defeat on the final hole.

IMPORTANT NOTICE The completion dates of the clos-

ing rounds of the Headquarters and Headqual tern Squadron Match Play Tournament have been ex- tended. Quarter-final rounds must he completed by March 5: Semi- final rounds by March; and Fi- nals by March 19.

SWEEPSTAKES RESULTS Ben Martin won the "Sweeps-

takes" tournament held cast Sat- urday with 82-13-69. Second place went to Andrew Robinson who fired 81-10-71. And the third spot went to the veteran winner John "Ski" Ploski who had 88-16--72.

Sunday's "Sweepstakes" went in the reverse order with Andrew "Rot by" Robinseh copping first honors with his M-10-71, while Ben Martin took secceld place reg- istering 8S-13-72.

Toastmasters

Clubs By RON SEMPLE

The number one item Toast- master-wise this week happened on the island of Maui Monday night where the Staff NCO club held a joint meeting with the Maui Toastmasters in the Wai- lulu Hotel. The club flew over for the gathering and returned the same evening. aiting at the air- port with paper leis were the mem- bers of the Maui club who vol- unteered to drive the visitors to the hotel. A running description of the local scenery was given each passenger by the driver.

Clyde Shimabukuro, president of the Maui club. chaired the meeting

hich included representatives of three other clubs: li-Bay's EMs. Pearl Harbor Toastmasters. and Honolulu's Aloha. A delicious roast beef dinner was served and the group settled down to the speaking end of the program. Ernie Bridges of the Staff club w armed up the audience with an unusual table topics program. Maui's WiLson Cannon Jr. served as Toastmaster of the evening.

Main speakers of the evening were Hal Dunbar and George Mas- son from Kaneohe and Carrol Lindley, Dick Mawson and Doug Sodetani of Maui. For Dick Maw- Fon, the meeting was somewhat nostalgic. He served with the 4th Marine Division during World War II.

The following night. the EM Toastmasters continued the trav- eling tradition started by the staff NCO's, this time journeying to Honolulu to meet with the Aloha Toastmasters. EM President Bob Gallagher, speaking on the serv- icema n's contributions to the Honolulu community, almost suc- ceeded in bringing back the Aloha Best Speakers trophy, losing by one vote to Aloha's Dr. Rex Parker. Russ Krause was the other speaker for the EM's with an in- teresting talk on "Psychological Pressures." Aloha's Gene Stober, who is Governor of the Hawaiian Toastmasters District, sends his best to the three clubs here at the Air Station.

Dick O'Dowd captured the Best Speakers award the same evening at the Officer's Toastmasters meeting. It was also president O'Dowd's final speech in the basic training manual and his certificate of completion will be forthcoming from Toastmasters International. ConnTatulations!

The "0" Club also announced that Bud Grattan will represent the officers in the area speech contest at Fort Shafter on March 23. Bud won the right to speak last week despite stiff competi- tion from Phil Slocum who was runner-up.

Next Tuesday night. the officers will meet to elect new club offi- cers and the nominating commit- tee has presented the following candidates: Herlihy. Grattan. Slocum, Green, Bacher, LaVoy, Huerlimann, Lynch, Dunning and Halperin. Further nominations may be made from the floor so come on out and vote Guests present for the first time will be treated to a free meal and the elections should he hotly contes- ted.

three clubs are working earnestly toward the "Big Four" meeting on March 14th with Kai- lua Toastmasters. The theme of the meeting will be the Un:ted Nations and a meal will be served in the station cafeteria.
