Smith, K-Bay clash CAMP SMITH - "Action" will

be the word for the day when the top Intramural Softball teams from K-Bay and Camp Smith meet tomorrow to decide "who's NUMBER ONE."

Scheduled to begin a best two out of three playoff series at 7 p.m. on Camp Smith Territory are the CINCPAC Commanders and KBay's 1st Radio Battalion.

The second game will be held at K-Bay's Pollack Field Sunday, again at 7 p.m. If a third game is required it will be a Monday afternoon thriller back at Camp Smith, starting at 2 p.m,

The CINCPAC Commanders go into the playoff with a 14 -I season record under their belts, and a

reputation for fine defensive action in the field and a strong pitching staff.

"I am told K-Bay's pitching staff is excellent," remarked the Commanders' coach Jim Campbell

who has never played or watched the 1st Radio Bn team in action.

When asked what his team's strongest points were, Coach Campbell quoted foremost the statement, "We don't make errors!"

Coach Campbell doubted that either team would "sneak up and lake the first two games," saying, "I am looking forward to an exciting three-game tournament."

Two examples of the

See how the teams match up on page 5

Commanders' defensive and offensive power are pitcher Gordy Howell and shortstop Danny Cordle. Both were selected to play in the Hawaiian All Navy Tournament Team which will be representing Hawaii in the WESTPAC Regionals, to be held in Japan later this month.

Chuck Slavens, the player/coach of 1st Radio, after having seen the Conunanders in action said, "They've got a good defense and pretty good pitching.. hut we do too."

Coach Slavens also lists a strong defense and pitching as strong points.

1st Radio holds an undefeated 20 game season to its credit for this year which duplicated their undefeated 1971 season (that one with a 13 -win tally).

Neither of the two coaches foresee advantage problems if the playoff is forced to go for three games,

despite the fact that it means one team playing its home field twice.

Record-wise, 1st Radio has a

slight edge due to the fact that they had to compete against 18 teams to earn their undefeated honors while the Commanders faced only live teams, losing once in the season to the second ranking Camp Smith team, the "Grunts."

Inhouse Vocational Training debuts at K-Bay Aug. 2 K-BAY-In-house vocational training for enlisted personnel,

offered by Gavilan College of Gilroy, Calif. makes its debut here Aug. 2

as a limited number of students begin night classes in both Police Science and Construction Technology.

Initial enrollment will be limited, due primarily to space and equipment limitations and testing of an untried yet extremely promising and beneficial self-improvement program. Registration will be

based on a quota system by unit size. Success of the program, however, should ensure expansion.

Police Science and Construction Technology are but two vocational fields being highlighted in the initisl kinta7, of this unique pilot program. Availability became a reality after development of an idea presented during the Air Station's Human Affairs study last fall.

Following on the heels of the above programs are classes in both Automotive Mechanics and Body and Fender, including automotive body painting. These classes are tentatively scheduled to commence in early October.

Many here have a strong desire to learn a trade -- but can't meet the academic requirements of most off-Station institutions. Others don't have the "bread" to pursue such training, even though the

government pays the lion's share. And, still others find it difficult to obtain adequate, continuous transportation to attend off-base courses. Gavilan's program is an answer to these and other problem areas.

The only prerequisites for enrollment in either of the four programs, aside from personal interest in the subject and a desire to better oneself, are:

. Be 18- years -old or older;

. Be a K-Bay based Marine sergeant (E-5) or below, or equivalent Naval rating; and

. Have completed at least 181 days active service. snow.".

The initial program breakdown is on page 6

Neither a minimum GCT nor a high school diploma are required for registration. All fees, with the exception of the text book cost, are

paid by the Veteran's Administration. "Gavilan College is interested in enrolling the individual who is

not trained in a vocational field," said Gavilan's Associated Dean Rolf Bruckner.

Far be it for anyone to imply that BGen Andrew O'Donnell, the Assistant Wing Commander of the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, is all wet, but he was -- literally. As members of VMFA-122 stood by, Corporals Robert Rodrigues (helmeted, Alice, Tex.), and Sonny Rodrigues, (San Jose, Cali f ) bestowed the honors as part of a squadron tradition. According to the tradition. the first time a pilot flies with 122 he is taken to the nearest body of water upon his arrival and promptly thrown in. When he landed, the two plane captains were ecgerly awaiting the general with a barrel of stuff (photo by GySgt Ned Broussard)

exchange systems. K-Bay will assume the responsibility for all operations for the retail and service facilities at Camp Smith Marine Barracks, Pearl Harbor.

The profits generated by these

activities will be re-distributed to Camp Smith, Marine Barracks, Pearl Harbor, and of course K-Bay for recreation support.

Also, July 31 will see a number

of price changes in the exchange. This is part of a program gaining uniformity in conjunction with Navy prices. Both increases and decreases may be expected in different departments.

In memoriam

Capt. George Sickel, assistant maintenance officer of VMFA122 has died of a heart attack while deployed to Japan with the squadron. His body is being brought back here for burial.

He is survived by his wife Yoshaito and their four children.

As Gavilan College is a fully accredited institution, a student being transferred after starting a program at K-Bay can "pick-it-up" at a

later date, through another school, in a different location. His college credits are transferable.

Of particular interest to prospective students is the little known fact that successful completion of of a vocational training program, coupled with a limited number of credits in other courses, could lead to an Associate of Science Degree.

The California-based college's curriculum is unique in that it's developed through coordination with a board composed of leaders within the business community. In other words, they after what prospective employees desire.

Gavilan College's vocational training, either standing on its own merit or coupled with the St. Louis High School Diploma Program, is

sure to offer K-Bay Marines and sailors a golden opportunity to better prepare themselves for either transition to civilian live or pursuit of a

military career. For additional information on vocational training, contact the

Viewpoint: Upon receiving my first edition

of "The Hawaii Marine" I was surprised to see the size of the paper as compared to the previous "Leeward View." My first thought was "Man, this should have some good info," but after opening the pages, I found what looked like a picture taking contest.

Pictures are all right I guess, if you can't read or are trying to fill an album, but it really wasn't what I had in mind as a service newspaper. For instance, I'm sure Special Services has more to offer than those few items, which took half a page, and I don't know if I could use a picture of a

long-haired civilian cameraman in my wall locker as a pin-up. Recognition is

very good for an individual's morale, but who really cares for a whole page of people being promoted or receiving service awards for doing their job, etc. Wouldn't a typed article with who and how be just as formal?

I believe, and have asked other Marines who agree, that the paper is missing something. Instead of spending money on film and pictures (except for special occasions) and using them to try to fill a big paper, print something in smaller type with info people can keep to their wallet or bulletin board and refer to when the need arises. For instance, club news from all over the island, special services functions, post exchange information, touring information, promotion/career opportunities and status, more editorials on drug and alcohol abuse, safe driving and driving regulations (on /off base), sports information as to who, what, how, where and when, and other base information and functions as appropriate.

I don't ask to have this printed, I

simply wanted to express my views. Not knowing anything about publishing a newspaper, I would like a

comment on what goes on with our paper.

HAWMAR Editor answers

In reference to the letter submitted by SSgt J.W. Cosgrove, may I say simply "Thanks." This is the first specific guideline as to the thoughts of our readership from below the command level. No one, without the assistance of clairvoyance. could possibly put together a newspaper aimed at a diversified audience, without that audience telling us where to aim.

I would like to take one phrase out of the text of your letter, but at the same time try to hold onto the thought projected as I attempt to widen the scope of the problem. You said that there is "more to offer than

only four instead of II in OF 14; 92 rather than 89 in OF 40; and four in OF 49.

RECRUITERS TO GET MORE EXPENSE MONEY - Recruiters will get a little more expense money under new rules issued by the Pentagon's per diem comtnittee. Until now they have been able to buy meals for prospective recruits and their immediate families only. From now on, they will be reimbursed also for outlays for meals for "other individuals who directly assist in the recruiting effort." This could include principals of schools, coaches, civic leaders and others who help recruiters find candidates.

WARRANT OFFICER BOARD - The Warrant Officer Board that met June 27 will pick 150 enlisted Marines for warrant officer bars. Names of the new WOs should be available by August 30. The board is headed by Col Dale Shatter.

JOB HUNTING -A seminar on using the "Creative Job Search Technique" will be given at the Metropolitan Community Center on Fort Street Mall on Tuesday from

6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The seminar will focus on such things as job sources, employer's expectations and the sales potential of the individual. The seminar is free.

BRANCH DEACTIVATED - The Human Relations Branch at 11QMC has been deactivated and its functions reassigned. The branch's personnel are now operating as the Human Relations Section, Equal Opportunity Branch of the G-I Division. They have retained the responsibility for the Marine Corps' human relations program.

RED CROSS NEEDS HELP - Since January 2, the American National Red Cross has spent over $12 million helping to assist victims of such disasters as the recent floods in South Dakota, Texas, Kentucky, Washington, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. As the result, the Red Cross Disaster Fund has been seriously depleted and the Red Cross has had to ask its local chapters to assist in raising $10 million to augment the many millions already spent to help the flood victims.

Hawaii Marine pros and cons; pleasant

service; replies to auto rentals those few items..." I totally agree with you. But try to picture the panic I felt at 12:01 a.m. on press day when 1 suddenly had a full page of white space. I had used every piece of copy available to me with no time to gather any more, Wouldn't it look rather silly to put out a paper with one blank page? So when you say there is "more to offer than those few items..." give them to me. We welcome input from the field.

As for the comment on photographs, I offer information disseminated from surveys by larger metropolitan newspapers. In short, the average reader wants more and larger photos. And as for the recognition photographs, think of it like this. How many junior troops are awarded high ranking medals? You'll probably admit that they are few and far between. The higher ranking medals that appear on the front pages of our base newspapers seem to be reserved for staff NCOs and officers, while the junior troop gets the Meritorious Mast and Marine of the Month which probably wouldn't show up in the paper if it weren't for columns like Island Spotlight. Why not? They've earned the right to recognition and their picture in the paper makes their job seem just a little more worthwhile. But then you did say that "recognition is very good for an individual's morale," and to that I

say simply, morale is the second most important mission of the base newspaper. The first is to disseminate information which, from your letter, I

get the impression you feel should be done by reading the Plan of the Day to troops standing rigidly at attention in formation.

True, you didn't ask to have your letter printed, you simply wanted to express your views. 1 printed your letter for one reason -- Amendment I

of the Constitution. You have the right to express your views and have them printed in this country in which we live. Maybe I don't agree with everything you say, and chances are I

don't, but then that's what makes the world go round.

Praise for K-Bay

As I near the end of a three year tour wills the 1st Marine Brigade, I'd like, in this day of so much griping and complaining, to pause and praise some of the things I have found pleasant, while, serving in I lawaii at K-Bay with the Marine Corps.

First. Hawaii has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Sure it has its bad points like anyplace, but there's plenty to do and see for anyone who will make the effort. To see just a part of Hawaii's beauty, just

take a good long look at the mountains each morning and evening.

Then there's the Air Station. I've seen it and all its facilities constantly improve. Its location is the best of all other bases on Oahu, and it has a relaxed atmosphere close to country living since we're not caught up in the hustle and bustle of the big city. No facility is ever perfect, but the constant effort and the success of these efforts at making the station a better place to work and live roust be appreciated if we'll just stop and look about us.

Then we have the people. I have been fortunate to have met some fine civilians on and off the base. On base, the civil service and exchange personnel plus those in Special Services activities do their bit to make it a nice place to live,

The military people are just as great. In my job 1 have been fortunate again to have known the commanding general as well as privates and all ranks in between plus many of their dependents. I've given lectures on medical benefits to officers', staff, and enlisted wives' clubs and it was always a pleasure meeting with these great gals. Some of the most pleasant though short acquaintances have been with the young men I've given rides to at the ride station. These young men always appreciate a hustle and they certainly deserve it.

Of course, I must include my Navy shipmates who have added their share toward making this such a good tour especially those I worked directly with in the Brigade. Their spirit and enthusiasm certainly made my job march easier.

I Don't want this to sound as though everything has been "A Rose Garden," as I wasn't promised that. But I do think we all spend too much time looking for misery, and we usually wind up finding it and being pretty miserable. If we'd just stop and think, it takes about the same amount of energy to be miserable as it does to be happy. The only extra energy we need expend is in keeping our aim sighted in the right direction. Abraham Lincoln once said, "Everyone is just about as happy as he wants to be," It's just a matter of looking around and seeing how well off we really are and enjoying it.

So I say to all of you, a fond Aloha, and I thank everyone who has made mine and is family's tour here such a pleasant one, and I hope this may inspire someone to look around and see and enjoy life as I try to do. don't always succeed as well as I'd like, but I aim high and try because its the only life I have. Aloha.

MCX on car rental

The exchange operates the Car Rental Service on the Station on a contract basis to provide this service to Marines and other authorized persons. The service is advertised to commercial companies on an invitation to bid basis. The current agency, Import Auto Rentals, was the only company interested in providing the service due primarily to the experience garnered by the previous contractor The Econo Car Company. The high accident rate of the automobiles rented at Kaneohe caused a tremendous increase in the cost of operations to Econo Car Company both in insurance premium costs and maintenance to cars, therefore they did not desire to maintain business here.

The rate currently charged for a Volkswagen sedan is $7.50 per day plus 6 cents per rule and an additional $2 for insurance if the customer does not have his own insurance. The weekly rate is $46 plus 6 cents per mile.

The income derived from the commissions paid to the Exchange for operation of the car rental service helps to provide revenue to Special Services for the maintenance of their facilities.

We welcome any comments, such as this, on any facility which we operate for the convenience of our patrons.

G.V. MESSINGER Capt, MCX

EDITOR'S NOTE: We had previously printed the incorrect figures mentioned by MSgt Harvey L. DeFrance in his letter to the editor in last week's issue of The Hawaii Marine. This was corrected in a subsequent issue. Regardless of the figures in question, it is important in note the following major factors: I) Import Auto Rental was the only company to bid on providing the service; 2) the contract stipulated that the cars must be brand new; 3) the Marine Corps Exchange receives a percentage; and 4) the recreation fund received $277,000 during the last fiscal year from exchange profits. We believe this benefits the Marine.

It appears that MSgt DeFrance's idea of Special Services purchasing a fleet of cars, providing for insurance and upkeep has great merit -- providing the funds to do so were available. How much do you believe it would cost to purchase, say 30 vehicles, insure same and provide mechanical upkeep. The present system appears to be more than adequate and equitahie.

Read this BEFORE a fire starts in your automobile

If you see or smell smoke in your car, immediately pull over to the side of the road, turn off the ignition and get out of the car. Get all passengers well away from the car before you attempt an; fire fighting and then only try to put out small fires. In all cases, call the fire department if possible.

If the fire is under the hood, lift the hood carefully and stand back; a

smoldering fire may hurst into flame when the hood is opened. If you have

an extinguisher, keep a safe distance

(directions on the extinguisher indicate its power) and aim short bursts at the base of the flames.

In case of an electrical fire, disconnect or cut the battery cable if you can do so without endangering yourself; then use your extinguisher. Insulation on wiring keeps burning until the power is cut.

Don't try to fight a fire involving gasoline or the gasoline tank. If the tank is ruptured in an accident, whether you see fire or not, get away from the car in a hurry. Invisible

vapors can spread and catch fire quickly.

Carrying a good fire extinguisher and knowing how to use it can mean the difference between slight damage and total destruction. So called "beer can" sir "glove compartment" extinguishers do not hold enough extinguishing agent to be effective on a typical auto fire. A dry chemical (all purpose) extinguisher in the 21/2-pound size or larger is recommended. It should carry a UL, FM, or ULC label.

Keep the extinguisher in the

front seat Urea of the car-not in the trunk or engine compartment. It won't he much help if you can't get the trunk or hood open in an emergency. The best place for the extinguisher is

on the kick 7anel of the passenger seat side.

Are you losing the game By E. Dean Cook

Camp Smith Chaplain Bill Cosby has a hilarious dialogue on children's toys. His point seems to be

that the toys which we provide for children may not necessarily be what they enjoy, but rather what we think they ought to enjoy.

I recently experienced a parent/child encounter which makes me believe that Cosby is correct. It all happened at a Little League picnic when someone suggested that the fathers play the sons (age 9. 12) in a baseball game. Since it was said to be a tradition, I'm certain an adult suggested it. After the usual burgers, chips and cokes, the fathers were ready to start the game. The boys, with a bit of coaxing from the mothers, were all pointed toward the field and the game began.

At the end of the first inning, the fathers were full of nostalgic excitement but the boys were showing clear signs of utter boredom.

By the end of the second inning the Little League outfield had begun to disappear. The parents tried not to notice because they were still sure that this was a fun game enjoyed by all.

By the time we reached the bottom of the third, the Little Leaguers showed clear signs of demoralization.

And then it happened, as if a young boy's prayer had been answered. An ice cream wagon pulled into the park and stopped along side the third base line. This was the opportunity the boys had waited and prayed for. One by one they scampered from the field and formed a line in front of the Good Humor man.

The fathers, now alone on the field picked up their gloves and sauntered back to the picnic shelter. It hurt but the fathers had to admit that even though they hat the most runs, in reality they had lost the game.

HawMar's Baseball season ends;

With double-sweep through UofH CAMP SMITH - The Hawaii

Marines closed out the Hawaii Major Baseball League this past Sunday with a sweep of a doubleheader from the University of Hawaii.

The Leathernecks finished fourth in the league standings with an 18 win and 12 loss record.

On July 5, the Haw Mar beat Asahis in a close game at Fort Shatter 2 -I. The winning run was scored in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, as

Haw Mar right fielder Bobby Brown singled home Jim Davis. Roger Walters relieved Steve Keller in the ninth inning to gain the win and raise his record to six wins and three losses.

Last Friday night, the Leathernecks lost to Jolly Roger at Millican Field 9-4. Four Haw Mar pitchers allowed 10 hits and five walks, while the team committed four errors. Veteran Hal Norton led the hitting attack with two doubles, accounting for two RBIs.

On Saturday at Quick Field, Jolly Roger dealt the Haw Mai their second consecutive loss 9.3 and

eliminated the Marines from pennant contention. Two Haw Mar pitchers allowed only nine hits but five errors in the field contributed to the loss. Haw Mar catcher Ron Smock returned to his hitting form with two of the five Marine hits.

Last Sunday at Quick Field, the Leathernecks finally regained their hitting form by beating UofH twice, 4.2 and 12-5. Haw Mar third baseman, Jim Hawkins led the hit parade with four of the 10 hits in the first game. Hawkins opened the scoring with a

home run over the right centerfield fence in the second inning. Haw Mar catcher, Ron Smock and winning pitcher, Roger Walters contributed two hits apiece to the attack. Walter went the route to gain his seventh win against three losses.

In the second game on Sunday, Haw Mar second baseman, Roger Keagy led the hitting attack with four hits, one a base empty home run in the fourth inning. Bruce Corterier in the relief of Steve Keller pitched the final four innings to gain his second win

against nu losses. HawMar centerfielder, Jim Davis with three hits, first baseman, Hal Norton and short stop, Mike Terry with two hits apiece also contributed to the 13-hit attack.

Roger Keagy and Mike Terry had three RBIs each, while Hal Norton and Ron Smock were credited with two RBIs:apiece.

HawMar pitchers, Roger Walters and Steve Keller, along with catcher, Ron Smock have been selected to play with the Hawaii Major Baseball League All Star Team on a 10-day, six game trip to Alaska. They departed Hawaii Tuesday and are scheduled to return on July 21.

Jolly Roger with a record of 22 wins and 7 losses won the league. Honolulu Travel Service (HAWKS) finished second with a 19 and 9. UofH placed third with a 19 and 11 record followed by the HawMar in fourth. The Asahis finished in fifth place followed by SubPac in sixth and Army in last place.

Bums tie Keystone Five at Camp Smith CAMP SMITH - The Bums

moved into a tie with Keystone Five in the Camp Smith Mixed Intramural League by taking four points from Pack's Packers. The winners were led by Jake Correll with a 187/524. Also helping were Bill Hough's 213/495 and Paul Everest's 490. Only bright spot for the losers was Norm Brewster's conversion of the 4.5 split. The Bums let it be known that you should never count them out by coming from 13 marks down after six frames and winning by 10 pins.

Keystone Five took three points

by Warren Downs

from Force Photo to hold onto a piece of first place. Leading the winners was Bill Nickerson with a time 207/577. Ilelping Bill were Hide Honda's 501 and Ben Sarte's 489. High roller for the losers was Roy Dekett with a 190/483.

The .1-8 Ballets, who led the league most of the season appear to have their backs against the wall after losing four and dropping five games behind the leaders. Leading Trophy House to their wins was Hank Bodziak with a 200/583 and the Mikes, Maras and York with 487 and 488,

respectively. High series turned in by J-8 was Vern Williams' 491.

Lloyd Davis finally got the cast off his arm and celebrated with a 212/483 to lead Exodus in a split with the Kooky Keglers. High score for the Keglers was Ken Brittin's 488.

In a game where the women appeared to be the only heron, Bn Medical took 3 points from The Birds. Dee Campbell had high game with a 189 and Donna Gaudet converted the 3 -6 -8.10.

The Money Makers and Debits & Credits split their low scoring match.

High spot of the contest was yours truly picking up the 3-5-10 and then playing Babe Ruth and calling the 4-10 conversion.

In the tight race for most improved Ben Sarte moved ahead of Bob Morrow 16.58 to 1633.

Register tomorrow for K-Bay Youth Football season K-BAY - Registration for the

1972 K-Bay Youth Football Season begins tomorrow at the Mokapu Elementary School at 9:30 a.m. and continues until 2:30 p.m. Tomorrow will be the first of three planned Saturday registering sessions, so be sure to avoid the last minute rush and register early.

Make sure you bring proof of date of birth (ID. Card or birth certificate) and you're all set.

The registration fee (which is used to defray the cost of equipment and uniforms) will be $10 per boy and an additional $5 for each boy from the same family (up to a maximum of $20 per family).

The team breakdowns for this season will be:

Airedales, 8-10 years old, 50-75 pounds

Bulldogs, 10.12 years old, 75-110 pounds

Phantoms, 12-14 years old, 110-135 pounds

Vikings, 14-16 years old, 135-160 pounds

Two of the above four divisions were champions in last year's action against military teams from other bases on the island.

Speaking of champions, don't forget the distaff side to football: Cheerleaders!

The registration for the youth activities Cheer leading and pep squads will be held same time, same place as

the football registrations. You'll need proof of age like the boys do. Slightly more simple in classifications,

the girls are split into two major factions:

Mascots, 6-8 years old

Cheerleaders, 8-16 years old The girls will be assigned to

specific squads which in turn will be handling the morale boosting for the youthful gridders.

Anyone with specific queries on the Cheerleading angle is asked to call 254-3659 or 254.2882 for further information.

Golf Tournament

Registration stops K-BAY - Today is the last day

for Marines throughout the island to register for the Golf Tournament to be held here at K-Bay next week.

The tournament, to be conducted at the KMCAS Klipper Golf Course July 17 through 20 will determine who will be selected to represent the Hawaii Marines in the 1972 PAC Regional and the HASAC Golf Tournaments.

Entry is open to all active duty Marines and attached military personnel with a certified handicap of six or lower for the open division and 10 or lower for the senior division. The senior division entries must have reached the age of 45 on or before Aug. I , 1972.

There will be a meeting on the

first tee at 7:30 a.m. on July 17 of all players to commence the tournament and discuss rules and regulations.

United States Golf Association and local rules will govern all play.

All Hawaii-based Marine Commands are eligible to send representatives, who will be competing for a spot on the HAWMAR team.

Plans have been set to place the top six players in the open division (and the top four seniors in the senior division). These players will then go on to compete as the Hawaii Marine Golf Team against other services.

Interested Marines are urged to contact the K-Bay Joint Special Services Office no later than today at the following numbers: 73135, 73108 or 73520.

NUC No. 'I in volleyball K-BAY - Proving that there's

more than one way to skin an intramural cat, NUC took first place in the Intramural Volleyball Season here, finishing undefeated.

This victory is a contrast with NUC's basement standings in the Intramural Softball Season a few weeks before. With a three won and 17 lost record NUC took last place in competing against 18 other teams.

PSB took the number two slot in the final standings with 11 wins and one loss. Tied for third place with nine wins and three losses were Hq Co Bde and 1st Radio fin.

Four th place distinction went to 2nd Bn 3rd Mar with eight wins and four losses while Hq Co 3rd Mar and MACS-2 split fifth place right down the middle (both with six wins and six losses).

1st Bn 12th Mar won five and lost seven, giving them sixth place, followed by seventh placing 1st Bn 3rd Mar. Eighth place was earned by HMH-463's three wins and nine losses and ninth place title was split between MABS-24 and VMFA-235 (both with two wins and ten losses).

In the cellar, with no wins and twelve losses credit is H&MS-24.

Second Annual Swim-A-Than planned K-BAY - It stands to reason,

when the top competitive swim club in Hawaii needs money for a worthy cause, they swim for it!

The Aulea Swim Club of Windward ()rim, a 150 member organization composed of military and civilian swimmers is affiliated with K-Bay and trains at the Station Pool.

Because competition in Hawaii is limited by its geographic location, trips are necessary to give the Aulea swimmers the top-notch competition needed to develop National and Olympic Swimmers. Aulea plans to have several swimmers in the 1976 Olympics.

These trips cost money, and if the club is to continue providing their swimmers with every opportunity for advancement, they need to raise money for their travel fund.

To help raise their goal of $10,000 for the Aulea travel fund, the

youngsters have been preparing for the Club's Second Annual Swint -A-Thon, which will be held July 22 and 23 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kailua Beach Park, in front of Camp Kailana.

Lanes 100 yards long will be marked, parallel to the beach, with flags to mark every 25 yards. Swimmers will swim continuously for two straight hours or 200 25-yard laps, whichever comes first. No swimmer may swim more than that.

The swimmers have been collecting pledges from the community, based on how many laps each one thinks he can swim. After the Swim-A-Thon, the swimmer collects from the sponsors on the basis of what distance he actually swam.

Because Aulea has so many swimmers, the Swim-A-Thon is being held on two days, although a swimmer can only swim on one day.

Swim-A-Thons are usually held in swimming pools where the child has walls to push off against and water that doesn't flow in currents and isn't filled with sea-creatures and seaweed.

Aulea will have a food booth standing by on the beach selling hot-plate lunches and cold drinks. There will be entertainment and a large progress board. City and County Governmental departments have given their full cooperation and will have lifeguards and rescue facilities on hand.

In a show of support for the Aulea cause an "Over the Hill" team of interested adults will be swimming along with the youngsters. Some of the members of the "Over the Hill" team will be State Senator Fred Rohlfing, ICailua's honorary mayor Lowery Roobian and Paul Bragg, a 91-year-old fitness expert.

CO approves $24,565 set for FY73 K-BAY--The Water Carnival

Budget Review Board met with representatives of various youth activities June 22 to discuss FY73 budgets.

Budget needs were individually presented by representatives of the various youth activities in an open session. Following the budget briefings, the board met in closed session to determine recommended allocation of funds.

Maj G.W. Cumpston, President of the K-Bay Water Carnival

Association, says, "The profit from this year's Water Carnival came to approximately $32,022.24. Of this, $24,565 was allocated to different activities and organizations."

"The remaining monies," he explains, "will be put into a contingency fund and used towards starting next year's Water Carnival. The remaining money, if any, will be put into a reserve building or back-up fund to be used for anything that might come up during the year."

An example of the reserved building fund: Approximately $14,000 was allocated for the installation of a sprinkler system in the recently renovated old Mokapu School.

Below is the Board's recommendation of allocation of funds which was approved by the Commanding Officer.

Sergeant scores 300 K-BAY - Should you have

trouble passing the semi-annual physical fitness test take the advise of Sgt Ronald L. Juvenal, a member of Maintenance Co. PSB, and "work out." That's what he does and he attained a maximum score of 300 points last time he took the test.

For his achievement, he was presented a Certificate of Commendation by BGen Victor A. Armstrong, CG, I stMarBde, on Friday.

When you start your training program, don't expect instant results. for Sgt Juvenal has maintained a

steady schedule of weight lifting, calisthetics and running for the past three years to reacts his peak physical condition.

Three times a week, the 22-year-old sergeant, who is 5-feet 5

incites tall and weighs in at 153 pounds works out in the gym, at Hangar 103, doing 50 sit ups on an incline board, loosing up exercises, and bench press with 180 to 220 pounds of weights.

Moving on to the universal machine, he will do two arm curls, leg

press, pull downs, leg extensions and the military press. He will finish with 20 pull ups--then repeat the whole process--two more times.

Practice runs include a jog with his unit, at 5:45 a.m., Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays he runs three to six miles on his own.

"Getting in shape for the three mile run was the hardest," Sgt Juvenal said. "My best practice time was 19:30, so about 10 days before the test I really started working on getting it down to 18 minutes."

He continued, "The day before the test 1 layed off and rested, and during the first part of the test I only did the required 20 pullups and 80 situps because I wanted to conserve my strength for the run. During the first half of the run I maintained a

moderate pace, picked up the pace for about a mile, and then kicked it up again for the last half mile. Coming into the finish I knew I had run my best time yet, but I still had to sprint the last 100 yards to finish in 18

minutes flat."

CINCPAC places fourth

in all-Navy Tournament CAMP SMITH - The CINCPAC

Commanders placed fourth in the Hawaiian All-Navy Softball Tournament held at Pearl Harbor June 26 to July 6.

heartbreaker to SUBPAC.

Gordy Howell, going the distance in the last game, allowed only four hits. CINCPAC out hit the SUBPACers 9-4 but could not push any runs across.

E-Club completely remodeled since Aug; plans new $880,000 building K-BAY - If you haven't been to

the Enlisted Club for a few months then you probably wouldn't recognize it if you were to go now.

Over a one-year period, a

number of changes have taken place at the club with the idea of making it a

more desirable place for the enlisted man to go.

The changes...air conditioning and paneling in the NCO Room, psychedelic posters in the 1-2-3 Room, a snack bar/TV room, game room, ballroom and pool room are just a few.

Even entertainment has taken a

turn for the better with the introduction of Wednesday and Friday night movies, bands (rock and country & western), go-go dancers and USO shows when possible.

Contrary to popular belief by many people that enlisted clubs are

"animal pits" or "slop chutes," (names that some have undoubtedly earned)... these are fast becoming myths at K-Bay.

"With the renovation of the club, the enlisted man now has something to be proud of," says GySgt Tony Rodriguez, Enlisted Club Manager.

The changes started last August under the direction of GySgt Rodriguez and his Assistant Managers, SSgts George H. Savage and Thomas H. Round.

For $30,000, approximately $150,000 worth of work has been completed, the majority of savings being on labor.

"All remodeling was done with the young 'troops' in mind," stated the gunny. "Instead of looking like a

gym," he continued, "it now looks like a club. A place for fun, relaxation and entertainment."

The first of changes saw new paneling, a ceiling, and even different size and shape glasses behind the bar. Before, they only had one type of glass for serving drinks.

"We're really proud of the troops' reaction," the gunny says. "They've settled down and taken pride in what we've tried to do for them."

As time progressed, more additions were seen at the club. They even received names. The 1.2-3 Room became the Electric Circus and the

NCO Room the Corner Lounge. Now entertainment of one type

or another may be seen almost every night at the club. On Mondays, the go-go dancers (many remember Naughty Nell) do their thing with the 'troops' crowding in for an eye-full whenever possible. If a go-go dancer isn't available on Monday, then a

country & western band is usually on the agenda. The girls are then scheduled for Tuesday.

Wednesdays there is a movie in the ballroom for everyone.

On Fridays, a band plays at the Electric Circus with a movie showing in the Corner Lounge. Saturday it is just the opposite, giving everyone the chance to view the "flick," stomp feet, crack peanuts or dance to the music.

The "flicks" are usually first rate...often the same showing in downtown Waikiki or Honolulu. The club management tries to schedule "R" rated movies, with drama or comedy, as this is the type the troops want to see.

Happy Hours are scheduled throughout the week and often you may hear one of the manager's call an unscheduled floppy Hour. This is usually on the last lap until payday; they know the financial situation at that time.

Where does the money come from to pay for the entertainment? "You, the customer," says Gunny Rodriguez, The club is self sustaining; therefore, it must operate at a profit to stay in business.

Also, club cards were recently issued. "This is not a means of 'harassing' the troops or keeping them out of each others clubs," explains the gunny. "It's our only way to regulate trouble makers." Although he's happy to say, there has been no major incident over the past 6-month period...this he contributes to the troops taking pride in the club, with good reason.

When a Marine's club card is pulled, it's for his own good to keep him out of trouble. The card is usually returned, but if a person is persistent, his card may be taken away for an indefinite period of time.

Another "biggie" at the club was the dining room. This went over so

bi Sgt Robert L. Nash

well that the menu was widnied, a color TV added and now dren't beer can be bought, saving numernus runs out to the bar. Yes, even the dining room was given a name. L's simply called the Pizza Pit.

A total of $7,800 has been allotted the club for the expansion of the Pizza Pit. Work is expected to begin soon, bringing forth an even bigger and better dining facility, with more services being offered.

A month ago, the club came out with its own newspaper to let the troops know what's happening. It lists hours of operation, special events, and has a question and answer space.

"We have a motto at the club," GySgt Rodriguez says. "The name of the game is service! We try to provide the best possible service that we can to the enlisted personnel.

"If someone has a question about why something is the way it is, then I'm always open for suggestions," he explains. "If it's a controversy type

question, we'll run it in the club paper for other opinions."

With all the changes that have taken place in the past year, it leaves one to wonder just what can be expected in the future. But, if we had a crystal ball, a look to the future.. mould see ground-breaking ceremonies in 1973 for a new enlisted club. An estimate of $880,000 will be spent on the building alone.

From the past...to the present...to the future - it all makes a

better place for the enlisted man to go.

Another one please? Sgt Pat Cathie, Schofield Barracks, and Cpl A.T. Aguerro, H&HS, order another round of drinks from E'Club waitress Jeanne Wademan, although still trying to concentrate on the entertainment.

Sergeant Billy J. Sala, a bartender at the Enlisted C7ub serves Cpl John J. Knapp, HMH-463, (center) 4d Cpl. Dale A. Raulerson (right) of MATCU-70. The club offers a wide variety of drinks from which the enlisted man can chose.

Almost every Monday or Tuesday night at the club a crowd gathers to watch the Go-Go girls do their thing. This is just one type of entertainment featured weekly at the E 'Club.

Marines donate 600 pints by Cpl J.L. Midgette, Jr.

K-BAY - I just gave blood because been since 1959," B.M. B Eubank, 1st Radio Battalion stated.

"They asked for donors so I came down," said PFC C.A. Bradford, PSB.

These were just two of the 120

set each the blood mobile unit from Prs arrives here every two months. So far this year personnel of the 1st Marine Brigade have exceeded that amount. Since January they have given over 600 pints of blood with

Why the shady demand for blood? Tripler Army Medical Center, wilich serves 140 thousand active r ty military personnel and their dependents, is always in need of blood: for surgery, leukemia and hemophilia patients, obstetric and newborn patients--whatever the reason, whole blood and its constituents are always in demand.

The help fill this need, a blood donor center is maintained at the hospital and the blood mobile unit makes regular scheduled visits to military bases around the island.

Because the shelf-life of platelets (needed for clotting) is only four days, contrasted to 21 days for whole blood, a steady supply of blood donors is required. In other words, a Fttle blood can go a long way towards helping someone in need.

Staff Sergeant F.M. Griffith of Comm Support is prepared for his blood transfusion. SSgt Griffith was one of 120 Marines and Sailors which gve blood to help others in need of the many components which blood can be broken down into after the donation, Since Jan. 1, Marine Brigade has donated 600 pints of blood. Much of the blood donated here last week will be broken down so that fresh frozen plasma can be made. Before a person is allowed on the bed he is tested to see if he is fit to donate.

Capt Wemheuer awarded DFC K-BAY-A Marine helicopter

pilot was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and cited for "heroism" for his actions against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam.

The medal, presented to Capt Robert F. Wemheuer, HMH-463, includes the period from January to March 1971. During this time he was

serving with HMH-463, MAG-16, now attached here.

As an Aircraft Commander of a

CH-53 transport helicopter, Capt

Wemheuer participated in Operation Lam Son 719 and had accumulated one hundred and seven point three flight hours during numerous resupply insertions and extraction missions in support of the Army of the Republic

by Sgt Robert L. Nash

of Vietnam. The units fire support bases were located deep in enemy-controlled territory and were

under heavy pressure and intense fire from large enemy forces, according to the citation.

Capt Wemheuer was particulary cited for his "heroic actions" on March 7 during an emergency resupply of a fire support base which was in danger of being overrun.

"Our job," the captains says,

"was to resupply with howitzers and loads of ammo. This encompassed quite a bit of maneuvering in order to land the howitzers in the gun pits so

the ground crews wouldn't have to move them."

The citation reads, "Launching

as Section Leader of the second section of a flight of four transports, Capt Wemlieurer undaunted by the extreme heavy volume of hostile fire directed at his helicopter and impacting in the drop zone, fearlessly maneuvered his aircraft with its external loads through the North Vietnamese fire on high speed approaches.

"They approached the beleaguered position and skillfully executed quick releases of the Vital cargo into the drop zone.

"As a result of his bold and resolute efforts, six twelve-thousand pound loads were safely delivered to the endangered fire base."

Recalling the incident, Capt Wemheuer says, "We made a total of 6-trips bringing in the Howitzers and ammo. Each trip different flight tactics were used so not to have repetition that the enemy could identify."

His citations concludes in part, "Capt Wemheuer's courage, superior airmanship, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of great personal danger were instrumental in accomplishing the hazardous mission..."

A native of Mt. Prospect, Ill., Capt Wemheuer is a graduate of Westerns Illinois University. He is married to the former Joanne Know of Santa Ana, Calif.

Color scheme not right? Change it NAVY TIMES - If you're living

in housing aboard a Marine Corps base

and have been wanting to paint or fix it up yourself, then start getting ready.

Headquarters Marine Corps says

it's now all right for tenants in base

housing to make minor repairs and improve their quarters - with their local commander's permission - in a

lot of ways which formerly were forbidden.

Do-it-yourself patios, fences and other "habitability type alterations" are now possible under the intent of a

new "self help" directive, MCO 11101.55, which points out that "housing occupants, as a whole, possess a multitude of talents and considerable expertise in many fields."

Headquarters hopes that this talent and expertise will start functioning, so the high-priced maintenance men--of which there is a

shortage--can be "concentrated on

more comprehensive and difficult tasks."

HQMC also proposes that families moving into quarters should designate "at least one adult member" to attend a command sponsored do-it-yourself course, The instruction would cover routine repairs, how to get tools, materials and technical advice and "the proper procedures to obtain approval of self-help improvements."

What the improvements could be

is outlined in nine examples. Most are

routine homeowner chores-fixing of doors, hinges, windows and fixtures; freeing of plumbing stoppages, replacement of filters, floor and wall tiles; caulking and lawn care.

There are a couple of examples which have been "shall-nots" in the

Past: "Interior and minor exterior

painting of quarters.

"Construction of fencing patios and other habitability type alterations to the unit."

How loosely the order can be

interpreted will be left up to local commanders, but the MCO points out:

"The spirit and intent of this order is to make it as easy as possible for occupants to enhance the livability and appearance of their assign6d quarters."

There are some definite restrictions. Military construction outfits can't be used nor can public works personnel on an official basis. Military equipment is also out.

This evidently refers to heavy equipment because the order says that "materials on hand which are not required for other purposes may be

provided." In other paragraphs the words "tools," "paints" and "technical assistance" are offered.

This doesn't mean that Public

Works is out of the picture. The directive emphasizes, "It is not the intent that the occupant become solely responsible for the maintenance of his quarters."

What happens when you're transferred? Will you have to restore the unit to its original shape and color?

No. Or as the order puts it: "Any improvement or alteration performed by the occupant which is of a permanent nature, will enhance the living unit and has been approved by the activity commander, need not be restored to its original condition or configuration upon the occupant vacating the quarters."

EDITORS NOTE: How this order will effect K-Bayites is expected to be answered in a reply from Public Works today, although, not ready at press time. The results will be made known in a later issue.

HQ, FMFPAC - U.S. Marine helicopters again played a key role in Vietnamese action Tuesday by providing a lift for a Vietnamese Marine Corps combat assault.

One CH-53 was shot down in the action.

In the Tuesday maneuver, Vietnamese Marines struck in a "hot" landing zone north of Quang Tri City. Battlefield reports identified the move as the latest in a series which has put Vietnamese forces on three sides of the enemy-held city.

The battlefield reports also indicated the combat assault was a

crucial blow in the ongoing campaign to clear North Vietnamese troops from Quang Tri City and Quang Tri Province just south of the DMZ.

A related announcement by the Commander of U.S. Forces in Vietnam listed two members of the U.S. Marine CH-53 crew as missing in action and said a third was wounded.

The wounded Marine and the remainder of the crew were rescued from the crash site, the announcement added.

Immediately after Tuesday's assault, the Commandant of the Vietnamese Marine Corps formally thanked U.S. Marines for their role in the action.

In a message to BGen E.J. Miller, commanding general of the 9th Marine Amphibious Brigade -- the organization which provided the helicopters -- the Vietnamese Commandant also expressed concern for the U.S. Marine casualties and their families.

Tuesday's message of praise and concern was the second one topranking Vietnamese commanders

Gunner describes ordeal K-BAY - CWO3 James J.

Castonguay, a radar intercept officer for VMFA-212, was shot down over North Vietnam while on a bombing mission against missile sites during 212's recent deployment.

The pilot of the F4J Phantom jet, Capt John W. Consolvo, is listed as

missing in action. Ott the day of the fateful

mission, they left DaNang Air Base to attack the missile sites with no hint of what to expect. The weather, in the gunner's words was, "beautiful, not a cloud in the sky." Before leaving they had agreed to make two runs over the target area.

"On our second run as we were pulling off target we were hit. At that time we decided that the aircraft was not going to fly very long and we headed south toward the DMZ, trying to get as far away from the area we had been bombing as we could get.

"Capt Consolvo was extremely busy with the aircraft, trying to keep it straight and level. It didn't want to fly very well. As we were running south the Airborne-Forward Air Controller (F4 Fast FAC) advised us

that our left engine was coming apart, to shut down the engine.

"As we shut downs the left engine the nose dropped violently, about 60 degrees nose-down. The plane rapidly rolled to 135 degrees right wing down. The pilot ordered me to get out. I ejected." Thu:. oegan 18 fateful hours on the ground in North Vietnam for the gunner.

"On the way down 1 received some light automatic weapons fire while I was in the chute. 1 landed in some dense underbrush and got rid of the gear I didn't need. Then contacted the folks overhead."

An attempt was then made to get the gunner out of the area but it was foiled by anti-aircraft fire directed at the rescue helicopters, the Jolly Green Giants. The A I s (Sandies) made repeated passes over the area trying to draw the enemy fire to him so the F45 and A4s overhead could pinpoint their position and "knock out the guns" but they were unable to get a fix on them.

It was decided that another extraction attempt would have to wait until the next morning. About 10

minutes after the friendly aircraft left, the NVA found his parachute and as the gunner put it, "they pulled their typical stunt of yelling and shooting up the area. There was no way to move rapidly in the dense undergrowth; however, I had a real secure hiding place in a hole in the underbrush up close to some logs.

"The NVA came up the hill still making quite a bit of noise, stopping about 30 feet from my position to get organized. I couldn't see them, but I could hear them very, very clearly. It was very dense underbrush and I wasn't interested in moving my head around a lot to try to see them. With only a .38, you're not going to start your own war out there.

"By this time it was getting fairly dark and the NVA secured their search. I heard tlsens withdrawing back down the hill. There was nothing around me but animals the rest of the night.

"The Sandies came back around the next morning. They had me move about 3000 feet north where they

' picked me up." Three days after being shot

down and after spending 18 hours ins

North Vietnam, CWO3 Castonguary was flying again. When asked how it felt to be flying again so soon after being shot down, the gunner replied, "It was the first time the F4 felt very small. It felt like I was in a pretty confined space. Basically I'm a farm boy; when you got thrown off a horse, the first thing you did was go and get

right back on the horse." When asked about Capt

Consolvo, he replied, "I didn't see his

parachute, but then my wingman

didn't see me get out. I can't say he

didn't get out, but I keep hoping he

did." The gunner also remarked, "I

don't' think enough can be said to compliment the people over there in

the Jolly Green Giants who pick us up

or the ones who fly the Als, call sign

Sandy. Those are the people who lay it on the line all the time. Where they came up and got me was an extremely hot area; they had a lot of anti-aircraft fire in that area. They're just tremendous individuals. If anybody in this war is a hero, those people are,"

Sgt Eric P. Litchfield, a sealair rescue helicopter crew chief with SOMS, here, displays the Navy and Marine Corps Medal he received yesterday for saving the lives of numerous flood victims while serving in the Republic of Vietnam in 1970, (photo by Richard P. Groves)

Navy-Marine Medal civilians trapped by flood water which had overflowed the Hoi An River south of DaNang.

When the "chopper" arrived over the disaster area, it was discovered that a village and surrounding lands were under six to ten feet of water and the inhabitants were huddled on rooftops.

Locating an elevated roadway where the water was only a few feet deep, the pilot landed his aircraft.

The citation reads, "Sgt Litchtleid unhesitatingly plunged into the treacherous current. Sometimes wading in water up to his neck and at other times forced to swim, Ise

valiantly fought the swiftly flowing water and hidden obstacles as he made his way to where the frightened people were awaiting rescue."

continued from page I

"During numerous exhausting trips through the muddy and debris-laden water," the citation continues, "he sometimes arrived back at the helicopter with as many as four hysterical children clinging to him."

"With the fall of darkness, it became apparent that further rescue efforts would be fruitless but, determined to ensure that the village was clear of all people, Sgt Litchfield conducted a house-to-house search, aided by two companions, and found one home containing 20 unattended children who had been left to the mercy of the rising waters. Mustering his last remaining strength, he ensured that these children too were placed aboard the transport," concluded the citation.
