-Quarters Allowance Hike Passed by House, Sent to Senate

Washington (AFPS) - A quarters allowance hike for members of the Armed Forc­es came one step closer re­cently when the fuiI House of Representatives passed the measure and sent it to the Senate for consideration.

As passed by the House, the legislation calls for an ef· fecti,'e date of Oct. I , 1962.

A spokesman for the Sen­ate Armed Services Commit­tee said the committee is ex· pected to consider the bill "in

the near future. "

The original legislation as proposed by the Defense De­partment called for an in­creased annual expenditure of some $259 million. The House, however, revised the legislation upward by some $29.5 million, bringing it to a total of $291.7 million with the Coast Guard, Pub I i c Health Service and Coast and Geodetic Survey receiving $3.2 million.

RECREATION BILL

Local Performers Offer Ballet - ~POps' Concert

Ballet performances of "La Boutique Fantasque" and an in­formal concert by the Commun­ity Orchestra promises to de­light weekend audiences.

Exciting backstage prepara­tions for 30 youthful members of the China Lake Ballet So­ciety mark the opening as the curtain goes up on a setting de­picting a fantastic toy shop in Southern France during the 1860's.

Russo-Italian Originated by Diaghilev with

music by Rossini-Respighi, this is the story of the toy ballerina and her partner, who are separ­ated when an American tourist buys the ballerina for her child and the danseur is purchased by a French youngster.

This dilemma throws the en­tire shop into a frenzy and a successful escape plot is carried out. The exciting finale ends on a happy note.

Choreography for this produc­tion and the entire ballet in· struction are the able and tire· less efforts of Pat Holmquist, wbo teaches under the auspices of the local ballet society.

- Two Performances Performances are scheduled

at the Station Theatre tomorrow at 10 a .m., and Sunday at 2 p.m.

SPORTS SLANTS

Tickets (50 cents) may be pur­chased through the schools or at the box office.

All proceeds are directed to the SCholarship funds of the sponsoring organizations-Bur­roughs High PTA, and the Ele­mentary Schools Music Parents Club.

ed by W ACOM, will be held on the lanai this Sunday at 5 p.m. This is one of a series of social events at the Commissioned Of-. ficers- Mess designed to appeill to a wide segment of the mem­bership.

Navy Nurse Corps Marks 54th Year

On the occasion of its 54th anniversary this month, the Rocketeer wishes to add its voice to the unison of congratu· lations offered to the U. S. Navy Nurse .Gorps,

Because there are only five of these· Angels of Mercy" assigned here, the outstanding work that they contribute to our welfare is not often brought to the general public's at· tention. .

In every major conflict in which America has been en· gaged since 1908, Navy Nurses have answered the call, serving wherever needed.

Indeed, this anniversary is perhaps one of the most significant milestones celebrated each year. For, it marks not only the dedicated and loyal service that has long dis· tinguished American womanhood. But, it is a true example of inspirational devotion to one's fellowman.

C HAPLAIN'S MESSAGE

Habit Can Measurably Arrest Spiritual Ways By R. F. Wicker, J r.

A tendency of the Naval Avia· tor is to develop a left hand traffic complex. Countless hours of turning left to land ingrains this habit until it is almost im· possible to do otherwise.

This is fine, until the Naval Aviator visits a field where the traffic is to the right. Then, a very uncomfortable and fright· ening landing results. A change from any deep-set habit is dis­turbing to all of us.

It is a tendency of every per· son to form a pattern of living. Habits inevitably result. Certain modes of living are taken over, made ours and we too fall into

Editorial

the rut of complacent living. Then, our reflexes are auto· matic, our actions perfunctory. This insensitive living dulls our minds to any change, any reo newed meaning to our existence.

The good aviator overcomes any complacent habits by alert· ness. He never allows his ac· tions to become routine. In both our Spiritual and mental living, the same cure is necessary.

When we are alert to life, we meet any change with the. ad· vantage. By exercising the sim· pie God·given process of think· ing, we go into every action at General Quarters, ready to live or die, unafraid.

Our Thailand Forces Are SEATO Bulwark to Red Tide

The landing of 1,800 Marines in Thailand to bolster the strength of some 1,000 U. S. troops already in that country on maneuver will be welcomed by the seven nations that, with the United States, make up the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. They will no less applaud the formation of a U. S. Military Assistance Command in Thailand which was announced by Secretary of De fen s e McNamara following President Kennedy's decision in his words, " to help insure the territorial integrity of this peaceful country."

For Thailand, a SEATO member, is our friend and a bas· tion of freedom in a part of the world where the Communist cancer is showing fresh malignancy. One of her borders faces troubled little Laos, racked again by fighting since the pro·Communist Pathet Lao forces of Prince Souphanouvong broke the cease·fire. That violation, as the President noted, made the dispatch of the Marines and Army and Air Force units desirable.

Such a show of strength as the President has decided upon is, then, the best answer to the Asian Communists who hope to gain by tenacious nibbles what they cannot have in a Single slashing bite. "A threat to Thailand is of grave concern to the United States," said the President, and the Mannes who landed at Bangkok were personifications, each and every man, of our commitment. (AFPS)

RETIRES AT PASADENA

Shavenau Monsen Ends NOTS Career Today'

PASADENA-Retiring today is Shavenau Monsen, head of Pasa· dena's Photo Lab. He is a veteran, having started the Lab in 1947, weathering the conversion from General Tire and Rubber Co. to Navy Command.

Shav actually grew up in photography. At 6 years of age he had his own camera and was doing his own developing. Dur· ing his boyhood years he accom· panied his father, Dr. Frederick Monsen, in his travels about the world gathering material and giving lectures on archeology.

A native of Den v e r, Shav came to California in time to be . c aug h t in the San Francisco earthquake and fire in 1906. Later he returned to open his own photographic studio in Pas· adena. Before coming to NOTS he was a supervisor of the photo section at Lockheed.

An early interest in ham radio gave Shav the call letters 2PQ. Actually, he was on the air two years before licenses were reo quired. Through this medium he met Marion Sickler, who be· 'came Mrs. Monsen in 1930 and now teaches 4th Grade at the Benjamin Franklin S c h 0 0 I in Altadena. There are two sons, Jon, a radio engineer at Station KWKW, Pasadena, and Erik, a senior in high school. Shav's

brother Courtenay Monsen was for 25 years Secretary of the Board of Education in Pasadena, is now associated with the Cham· ber of Commerce in Santa Bar· bara.

PASADENA - The oldest known resident of San Clemente Island moved this week. After more than 500 yea r s on the Island, his new home will be the Southwest Museum in HighJaiJd Park.

A hum a n skeleton nam~d "Clem" by the excavators is ti)e first to be . removed from the Indian burial ground discovered recently by Domingo Sanchez, a photographer.

While pursuing his hobhy of "digging for knowledge" in off· duty hours at the Island, San­chez uncovered what looked like part of a human skeleton. Call· ing on a buddy, Frank Strahalm of UOD, whom he knew had the same hobby, they dug further and affirmed that indeed it was that.

EXCAVATED - Shown in the same position as found, an· cient resident of San Clemente Island has now been removed to the Southwest Museum for further study.
