The low-fare excursion is designed so that passengers may depart for Hawaii from any of the four cities listed and return to any of the four cities they choose.

One Marine Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii HM0CAL July 21, 1967 I

Selected Each Year JUL 2 5 1967

Former Kaneohe Bay Jet PilaiRESekAted To Attend Air Force Aerospace Program

Former Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe, jet pilot, Cap- tain Harold W. Blot, has been announced as the Marine Corps' latest addition to the United States Air Force aerospace program.

Captain Blot departed Hawaii July 10 for the 14-month Aero- space Research Pilot's School at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. Only one Marine each year is chosen for the school leading up to possible selection for astro- naut.

The school consists of a half- year of experimental test pilot training while the remainder of the course will cover all phases of space techniques.

On May 14, Captain Blot went to Brooks Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas for an extensive physical examination at the School of Aerospace Medicine in preparation for his future train- ing.

INSTANT ROAD - A truck from 1st Shore Party Platoon, 1st Battalion, 27th Marines, lays a road surface of metal mat to facilitate vehicle move- ment over sandy or mucky areas. The technique was developed and first used in Korea and has been used by Marines in Vietnam for everything from helicopter landing pads to jungle highways.

Following successful comple- tion of all phases of the school, he may be assigned to experimen- tal projects such as MOLE (man- ned orbital laboratory), test air- craft, or an astronaut.

"I'm more interested in the unconventional-type aircraft than being shot up to the moon," says the holder of four Air Medals for missions flown in Vietnam.

"When I was accepted," said the captain,"I couldn't believe it. I really didn't count on getting selected because the odds were so high against it. It came as a com- plete surprise."

A native New Yorker from the Bronx, Blot graduated from Vil- lanova University in June, 1962, with a degree in engineering and was commissioned upon grad- uation through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps.

Upon completion of the Basic School, Quantico, Va., Blot went to Pensacola, Fla. for Basic Flight Training and then to Bees- ville, Texas, for Advanced Flight Training. He came to Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe, with Marine All-Weather Fighter Squadron-232 and, last August, went to Vietnam with the squadron.

Last January Capt. Blot was transferred to the 3rd Marine Division in Vietnam where he served in the capacity of a for- ward air controller, calling air strikes for the infantry.

The captain spent the first three days in the "thick" of the battle for Hill 881 and later mov- ed back to the command post to call in air strikes.

Captain Blot, his wife Marie, and their four children, lived aboard this Air Station while serving in Hawaii.

LSD - Fun, Frolic And Fatal Contrary to the claim that LSD is a "consciousness-ex-

panding" drug, it has been clearly demonstrated that the drug decreases conscious functions, distorts tin* sense, decreases an individual's ability to select and pay attention, impairs critical, objective judgement, induces illusions and hallucina- tions. Visual and hearing acuity are distorted, NOT enhanced as claimed. There is no known method of predicting occurrence or sudden, unexpected recurrence of these dangerous efforts long after use of the drug. It is not possible to determine in advance those individuals likely to suffer these adverse effects.

Legal bans on LSD went into effect in 1966, following ex- tensive studies and case documentation of LSD users. ONE LSD USER, now a psychiatric patient, THINKS HE IS AN ORANGE -- ANOTHER THINKS HE IS A GRAHAM CRACKER. The graham cracker was hospitalized following an accident in which he drove his car into a house killing a three year old child. This was done during an "LSD TRANCE."

"Benevolent and easy-going Father, we have occasionally been guilty of errors of judge- ment. We have lived under the deprivations of heredity and the disadvantages of environment. We have sometimes failed to act in accordance' with common sense. We have done the best we could in the circumstances; And have been careful not to ignore the common standards of decency; And we are gladto think that we are fairly normal. Do thou, 0 Lord, deal lightly with our infrequent lapses. Be thy own sweet Self with those who admit they are not perfect; Ac- cording to the unlimited tolerance which we have a right to expect from thee. And grant as an in- dulgent Parent that we may here- after continue to live a harmless and happy life and keep our self-respect." ...Book of Common Prayer (Al- tered)

THANKS - Captain and Mrs. William R. Murray present Hilton Hawaiian Manager Edwin K. Hastings a thank you plaque for accomodating Vietnam R&R Marines. (Hilton Photo)

Vietnam Outfit Pays Tribute To Hilton Village Manager

Because a Marine in Vietnam was once disappointed when he could not get accommodations at the Hilton Hawaiian Village dur- ing a planned leave, the Waikiki hotel management has received a plaque commending its support of the R&R program.

The turn of events came about thusly:

Last February, a heavy tourist season in Hawaii, Capt. William R. Murray was disap- pointed when the Hilton hotel was unable, due to previous bookings, to provide accommodations for himself and his wife.

Hilton senior vice president Edwin K. Hastings, himself a retired Air Force colonel from World War II days, who knows a thing or two about the importance of R & R from personal exper- ience, wrote back his regrets.

He also suggested that the Marine captain select one of the men in his unit. due soon for R&R to Hawaii, to be the guest of the Village during his island leave.

The captain selected Cpl. Frank T. Franckowiak of Mil- lAaukee, Wis., who subsequently

soaked up the sun at Waikiki beach and toured the fun spots of the Village in his captain's stead.

But everything turned out for the best.

Last week Capt. Murray had the chance for R & R leave in Hawaii -- and this time there was room at the Village. He was joined by his wife, who came from their home in Falls Church, Va., for the reunion.

He also brought a gift for Village general manager Hast- ings -- a thank you plaque to the hotel from his unit for their R and R Program support.

to attend the Army's Criminal Investigation Course at Ft. Gor- don, Ga., in addition to receiving a large amount of cash, Sergeant James L. Pond reenlisted for six years in the Marine Corps.

The school came as a reen- listment option and Pond, who has completed on-the-job training in Criminal Investigation, is sche- duled to report to Ft. Gordon during October, 1967.

Pond arrived at Kaneohe in October, 1964, and due to a

Sergeant James L. Pond shortage of military policemen was assigned to Security. He became interested in the inves- tigation section and started re- training in November, 1966.

The native of Granada Hills, Calif., joined the Marine Corps in July, 1963, and after boot camp at San Deigo, Calif., served with a reconnaissance battalion at Camp Pendleton, Calif.

Kwan Yin Temple in the foreground - to the rear is the Foster Botanic Garden.

Story By Cpl. Mike H. Tribe Photos By LCpI. R.L. Dvorak

Windy, on the advice of the station Chaplain, wandered into the awe inspiring splendor of Honolulu's Kwan Yin Temple.

A sect combining the teach- ings of Buddha, Confucius and Lao-Tzu, the Kwan Yin group was established locally in 1878, and has been located on the present site since 1921. The Chinese styled structure Was rebuilt in 1961.

The Temple is dedicated to Kwan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, who to all Chinese followers is the "Pure, sweet and most sincere" divinity.

Strangely, to a Western way of thinking, she was originally depicted as a male figure in India and ancient China and Japan. More recently she is represented as a beautiful woman with a child in her arms. Often she sits me- ditatively on a lotus blossom, symbolic of good rising from evil. Sometimes she is the God- dess of a thousand eyes and arms who reaches out to the suf- fering of mankind. Her compas- sion encompasses all.

As you enter the Temple, the dominating center figure is the Goddess of Mercy, Kwan Yin, flanked by the Dragon Maid- en on her left. The Dragon Maid- en holds a pearl proffered to the Kwan Yin; on the right, the Diety of Kindness, Sin Choy who is the "Helper-Saint" and also known as the Diety of spiritual and material wealth.

To the right of the center figures are the statues of the

Sakyamuni Buddha, accompan- ied by the Saints Wei Tor and Li Ju, the former holding a wooden want to dispel evil, dis- perses the teachings of Budd- hism, and protects Buddhist stu- dents; the latter is one of the famous Eight Immortals, Diety of medicine and healing.

The altar to the left holds the statues of Kwan Tai, legendary military hero from the period of the Three Kingdom; Mun Cheong, patron saint of scholars and Diety of Knowledge; and Wah Tor, legendary medical scholar of the Three Kingdom.

To the extreme right of the front door is the altar contain- ing statues of Mun Kwun, guardian of the gate and Di-Ju, guardian of the property. The guardians might have been a fine after thought, since all of the statues are gold-guilded and several of them date back to second cen- tury A.D.

As impressive as the images is the Buddhist nun, Sakya Liu- Chi who serves as the head of the Temple. Sister Liu-Chi has been in Hawaii since 1958 when she departed Kowloon in Hong Kong. A vegetarian and a celi-

bate, she symboli7ed her celibacy by cutting off her ring fingers. Dimunitive, with shaven head and an air of piety mingled with the wisdom of the ages, she lends a definite air of the Oriental and exotic to her surroundings.

Windy definitely recommends the Temple as both impressive and informative, and while in the area roam the adjoining Foster Botanic Garden.

P.M.R. Downs Rally To Elim

Any softball fans who missed Tuesday night's battle between Disbursing and PMR probably missed the best game they'll ever have an opportunity to see. All the ingredients were there. Both teams were undefeated, both teams featured pitchers who had proved virtually unhitable in their respective leagues. Both teams placed six players on their league all-star teams, and they both had been pointing for this game all season.

PMR was the home team, and their former All-Navy softball pitcher, Joe Arnold, retired Dis- bursing on three straight strike- outs. Disbursing's Norm Dubbs took the mound and after giving up the only solid hit he was to relinquish all evening, struck out the side. So it went - inning after inning - PMR threatened twice, only to be wiped out by

Women's Golf Club Seeks New Members

K-Bay's Women's Golf Club, currently consisting of about 20 members meets every Thursday morning at 8:15 for tournament play. The handicaps range from 10 to 36 but the housewives find it a relaxing and beneficial re- lief from household chores as \\ ell as healthy exercise.

Last Thursday Billie Hanchett won the 1st Flight with agross of 91 which coupled with her handi- cap of 18 gave a net of 73. Stevie Doerr was 2nd with a 92-13-79. In the 2nd Flight Dorothy Wilcox posted a 98-22-76, followed by Jane Dresbach with 98-22-76. Third Flight was won by Ida Nielsen with 127-36-91 with Anne Person the runner-up with 107- 33-74.

Chip in of the day was made by Billie Hanchett while the best putting was by Marlene Jones.

the fine fielding of Disbursing's infield.

In the bottom of the sixth, Stablien hit a sharp grounder to Disbursing's substitute short- stop. The throw to first was wide and the runner went to second. The next batter was thrown out on a grounder and the runner forced to hold. Another error by the normally tough Disb. in- field allowed the runner to go to third. Next up was the PMR pitcher, Arnold, and he broke the game open by lining a long fly to center field. The runner slid in under the tag and PMR led 1-0.

In the top of the seventh, Disbursing's Vin Caserto lined a solid single to right and ad- vanced as far as third, but Arnold reached way back and zipped three fast balls past the last batter to end the game.

Disbursing is now forced to face 1st Radio in Wednesday's ball game and if they get past that one tackle PMR again Thursday in the double-elimina- tion tourney. Disbursing would have to take three in a row to win it now, as opposed to PMR who would have to drop back-to- back decisions. It was as fine a softball exhibition as could be seen on the island and lends strength to talk of sending an all-star team back for All- Marine competition.

In other tournament action Disbursing defeated MACS-2 4-0, PMR took 1st Radio 2-0, MACS-2 eliminated FSA, and 1st Angli co eliminated Hedron. First Radio reached the semi-finals by de- feating MACS-2 decisively in the first half of Wednesday's double- header. The game was clouded, however, by a controversial call involving ground rules. A well- hit ball cleared the park but was pulled in by an alert fielder who, after reaching over to make the catch, fell over the fence.

All-Star Team Selected; League Champs Land Six

Disbursing and the Pacific Missile Range softball teamsdo- minated their league all-star teams in the recent selection. The Teague coaches placed six members from each of the un- defeated teams among the elite. Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Sta- tion's intramural softball leagues this year, according to Intra- mural Coordinator Steve Olson, produced the best brand of ball played on the island.

Probably the leading player in each of the two leagues was the pitcher. Both Clyde Arnold of PMR and Norm Dubbs of Dis- bursing have several no-hitters to their credit as well as high batting averages. Among the more notable near misses were the catches from both Disbursing and PMR and Doug V.'homble of FSA. Whomble, a unanimous choice on last year's all-star team as a 1st baseman was forced to pitch this year and wound up be- hind Arnold of PMR.

Plans are in the forming stage for a combination of the two all- star teams to merge as a "Wind- ward Marine" team and play a-

r-R, yip* The President's committee for amateur sports recently recommended

something I have long advocated -- "that more emphasis be provided ama- teur sports programs among military personnel as one means of increasing the stature of the United States Armed Services."

Varsity athletics in the Marine Corps has reached on all-time low. The only remaining varsity football team is in Quantico; basketball is li- mited to Quantico and our own HawMars; baseball -- none; track -- Quan- tico; boxing -- Camp Lejune and other than that -- nothing to speak of.

Supposedly the decision to drop Marine teams, rich in the winning tra- dition, was made because of the need for troops in Vietnam. Maybe, but

its strange that the World Wars, when our commitment was at least as great, saw Marine athletics at their highest peak. The El Toro football team, for instance, was rated among the nation's top-10 for three consecutive sea-

sons during World War II. Mare Island's Marines won the Rose Bowl in 1918

and barely missed repeating in 1919. The Marine image as die-hard fighters and consistent winners was

forged at such places as Belleau Wood and Iwo Jima. The fact that Marine athletes were consistently kicking heck out of anyone who dared challenge them in anything they cared to name did little to tarnish it, however.

Contact sports, I feel, are particularly beneficial to the fighting man. Who can sit through a boxing smoker or hard-fought football game without gaining fresh appreciation of the values of courage, determination and ag-

gressi veness? The primary reason for the demise of Marine athletics is actually a

lack of understanding of its value on the staff-NCO level. The last San

Diego football squad was subjected to harrasement and teasing as "skat- ers", because they missed half a day in the office to deposit pounds of sweat and blood on a practice field.

Out of those 30-odd men there have been 5 bronze stars, 3 silver stars and a nominee for the Congressional Medal of Honor. In retrospect, would some of the criticizers of Marine athletics care to change their stand?

Next time you can provide the basic requirements -- a pretty girl and a ten-dollar bill -- take them to the Don Ho show at Duke Kahanamoku's in the International Marketplace.

A Polynesian crooner, Don's informal style is of the Andy Williams - Dean Martin variety. In addition to his own big sellers such as "Tiny Bubbles" and "Born Free," the show offers the Aliis, a continuous stream of impromptu guest appearances and on-stage dancing.

Don is the Hawaiian version of the rags-to-riches story. His first performances were in his Mother's bar -- Honey's in Kaneohe - - in an attempt to draw more customers. Not only did he succeed, he vaulted into the top spot among Hawaii's entertainers.

When he's not packing Duke's three times nightly, he's perform- ing to capacity crowds at the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles or El Morroco in New York.

Don's unique combination of racy-humor, a good voice and a Hawaiian "easy does it baby" attitude seems somehow the essence of the Waikiki way of life. The coeds flock to see him, band on weekends long lines form for the 9 and 11 p.m. shows. The show doesn't seem to wear on you, no matter how many times you see it, because of the variety of guest performers and impromptu nature.

The drinks are adequate -- catering to the rum-punch varieties - - and popularly priced, and the cover charge is included in the price of the first round. Come early since many of the seats don't offer a good view of the performers.

If you don't care to drive the Pali, you can catch him in an even more informal show at Honey's on Sunday afternoons. Both are op- portunities to provide good reasonably-priced entertainment for both you and some curvaceous-cutey -- or maybe even your wife.

Also as an added aloha gift, since Teddy is going to Mas- sachutsetts, she was given a red- striped flannel night-gown, cap and pantaloon set.

The monthly social on Tues- day evening July 25 will be a Trash and Treasure Auction to start at 7:30. All members are asked to wrap an appropriate item and come along for the fun. For further information call Betty Nelson at 254-790.
