`A rabbit barking....? Dear Editor:
I question the Station Regulations concerning "domesticated pets" aboard the Air Station.
Realizing the enormous problem generated by loose dogs and cats, I
am amazed at the necessity to remove rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small caged rodents from quarters.
To abide by the Station Order, all residents of housing would be required to dispose of all pets other than "dogs, cats, caged birds and horses (kept at Special Services on a short term basis)." This implies that fish, and as stated above, Small caged pets, must go.
Any pet when uncared for can cause health problems, and physical danger from bites, scratches, etc. But when was the last time you heard a rabbit barking at 3 a.m., or found a hamster turning over your garbage can and spreading trash all over the neighborhood?
I think it is about time we looked a little closer at these regulations and make some logical attempt to change them.
Sergeant J.L. Rice H&MS-24
Dear Sergeant Rice: As a result of your letter, the Station Commanding Officer directed
that research be accomplished to determine whether there is any valid reason why the Station Regulations are so restrictive regarding author- ized domesticated pets aboard the Air Station.
From this research, the Commanding Officer has directed a policy change which authorizes the following pets in family quarters: dogs, caged birds, cats, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, white mice and white rats. Horses have not been included, since the Station no longer operates a stables.
It is emphasized that all such pets must be domestic and the very small ones (birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, white mice and white rats) must be caged. Pet owners must appreciate that although the policy is being changed to accomodate pet lovers, we must be constantly alert in complying with the laws of the State of Hawaii, and in minimizing safety, public health and nuisance problems which improperly con- trolled and cared-for pets can create.
Hawaii State law prohibits ownership of many animals, including hamsters and gerbils. Persons who own, or desire to obtain, pets other than those mentioned above, must call the Station Veterinarian at 257- 3548 for a determination as to legality and appropriateness for main- taining such pets in on-Station family quarters.
This policy change is effective immediately and will be promulgated in a forthcoming revision of the Station Regulations.

Consumer complaints taken here By Sgt. Becki Butler
Consumers may sometimes identify with certain lines from the song "Satisfaction" as sung by the Rolling Stones in the 60's, "I can't get no satisfaction, but I try, and I try, and I try . . ." However, the Better Bus- iness Bureau (BBB) is ready to handle those complaints quickly and without charge.
When a consumer calls the BBB with a complaint, the Consumer Ser- vices Division first attempts to determine if the complaint is justified. If the complaint appears valid, they ask whether an effort has been made to solve the problem with the management of the firm. If such direct contact wa made and failed to produce results, the Bureau sends the consumer a complaint form to be completed, then returned to the BBB. The completed form is then forwarded to the firm, and their response, is, in turn, forwarded to the complainant.
A great majority of complaints are settled to everyone's satisfaction in this way. However, in some of the more difficult situations, the BBB staff becomes involved in mediation between the firm and the cus- tomer. When mediation fails, the Bureau can arrange for impartial, binding arbitration without resorting to legal action.
RELIABLE INFORMATION By acting as a reliable information agency, the .BBB also enables bus-
iness to be aware of consumer problems as they arise and make adjust- ments without government involvement. The BBB exposes frauds, misrepresentation, bogus charities, publicizes unethical and deceptive practices and distributes consumer advisory information through print, radio and television.
The idea for BBB originated with a group of business leaders in 1912. Initially established to eliminate fraud in advertising, the BBB later expanded its functions to monitor marketing practices and business performance. The many services avaliable through the local Bureau are financed entirely by membership dues paid by responsible professional firms in the community.
Although business firms should have ethical standards in dealing with customers, the customers have responsibilities too. The average shopper could save hi mself time and money by exhibiting the same kind of honesty he expects to receive from the business firm. This means do not lie, steal, try to pass bad checks, default on payments and similar acts. Money lost by shoplifting, price tag switching and returned used goods is often made up by raised prices, which you pay on your next shopping spree. In other words, do unto business the way you want bus- iness to do unto you.
If in doubt about a business transaction, play it safe and consult the local Better Business Bureau. Let them help you, and you'll be singing a

From the PM0... On numerous occasions mili-
tary policemen have assisted guests of housing residents who were lost on the Air Station going to or from their host's quarters. The MPs have also responded to "prowler calls" that turned out to be guests who were wandering around unable to find their host's house.
Many of these guests were civilians from off base who had walked from the main gate to the quarters area.
The PMO requests that if you have a guest who is unfamiliar with the Station or is arriving or departing after dark on foot, you provide a ride to and from the main gate.

Brotherhood Week set at Schofield Barracks
Singing sensation Nancy Wil- son and Hawaii's own Country Comfort are just a few of the well- known stars appearing during the celebration of Brotherhood Week January 10-15 at Schofield Barracks.
Miss Wilson will officially kick off Brotherhood Week activities Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Schofield Barracks' Conroy Bowl. Scorpio '76, one of the Division soldier bands, will provide the back-up music for Miss Wilson.
Country Comfort will headline the music festival January 15 at Sills Field on Schofield Barracks, beginning at 6 p.m. The group first came into public prominence with their rendition of "We're the Children," during the summer of 1974. Since then the "Sweet Smell of Success" has followed the contemporary folk music artists. "Waimanalo Blues" sky- rocketed Country Comfort to the top 40 music charts and became the title for their first album.
On Monday the Army will host the Air Force for a basketball game scheduled for the Scho- field Barracks gym, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
On Wednesday, an all-male Army basketball team will face an experienced women's squad from the University of Hawaii at the Schofield Barracks gym at 3 p.m. That evening, students from Brig- ham Young University will pre-
sent a musical variety program at the Sergeant Smith Theater at 7:30 p.m. Entitled "Showcase Hawaii," the program is ideally suited for the entire family.
Thursday's activities consist of the combat football champion- ships at Stoneman Field at 3 p.m., followed by a fashion show at the Aloha Lightning NCO Club at 7:30.
Colonel Henry Doctor Jr., Com- mander of the Division's 1st Brig- ade, will be the featured speaker at the memorial service for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at the Chapel Center at Schofield Bar- racks on Friday at 10 a.m.
On the final day of Brother- hood Week, a bowling tourney will get underway at 9 a.m. at the Schofield Barracks bowling alley. The music festival, featuring Country Comfort, culminates the week-long observance.
The theme of the third annual observance "Walking Together, a Time for All People" - was chosen for the second consecutive year because it suggests the multi- ethnic make-up of the world community, represented on a smaller scale in Hawaii and mag- nified at Schofield, Barracks and its neighboring communities.
This year's activities, all free and open to the public, are spon- sored jointly by the Schofield Bar- racks and Central Oahu communities.

DIGGING FOR SHELTER - Private First Class Edward Billups, Headquarters and Service Company, 1st Bn., Third Marines, throws dirt from a fighting hole at PTA. The unit spent two weeks among the lava preparing for deployment to Alaska.
1/3 preps for Alask The First Battalion, Third
Marines (reinforced) placed their swimming suits aside today, packed newly issued cold weather clothing and boarded Air Force jets enroute to what will be a shock for many.
The K- Bay Leathernecks of the First Marine Brigade will fly to frozen Alaska and take part in Operation "Jack Frost". A temperature difference of 120 degrees will greet them when they leave the plane at Fairbanks eight hours after leaving here. Temperatures there are expected to he about 40 degrees below zero but the Marines will be as well prepared as anyone can be for that kind of weather.
PLANNING AHEAD
For the past few months the northbound Marines have sought to prepare themselves for the harsh northern climate and sur- vival under such conditions in combat. A team of five U.S. Army personnel from Ft. Wainwright, near Fairbanks, spent a week here in November briefing nearly 600 Leathernecks on the dangers of arctic cold, how to survive and types of equipment and clothing needed under such conditions.
During two weeks of intensive
training in the Army's Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) on the Big Island last month, the unit also sharpened tactical skills based on the old adage 'practice makes perfect.'
Though not able to use any of the cold weather gear in the field due to the unusually warm temperatures at PTA's 6,000 foot altitude, 1/3 was able to rehearse tactics and procedures planned for the arctic exercise. "Jack Frost" will be a one-week exer- cise involving 1st Battalion, 3d Marines; reservists of the 4th Marine Division; and soldiers from Ft. Stewart, Ga. The setting will be beneath the shadow of Mt. McKinley, North America's high- est mountain peak.
Personnel from Company A, 3d Reconnaissance Battalion, Brig- ade Services Support Group, Marine Aircraft Group-24, First Battalion, Twelfth Marines and Brigade Medical also went along to the lava fields of PTA to prac- tice as a team. All except Marine Aircraft Group personnel will make the trip to Alaska.

top enlisted man, one of the pri- mary objectives at PTA was to allow many relatively new per- sonnel in key billets the opportu- nity to train together and work out problem or potential problem areas prior to deployment. For- ward Observers (FOs) from 1st Bn., 12th Marines and Forward Air Controllers (FACs) from Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron-262 were also given the opportunity to improve their skills. The FOs and FACs directed air strikes by F-4 Phantom jets from Marine Fighter Attack Squadrons 212 and 235 on designated targets December 13- 1 6.
"We accomplished at PTA what we set out to," explained Lieuten- ant Colonel Leroy Gonzales, com- manding officer of 1/3, "I only wish we could have spent another week there. It would have helped us even more."
"A little cold weather and even some snow was what we had hoped for at PTA," commented SgtMaj. Graham, "But it wasn't to be." A little snow fell about December 7, but melted the next day.. The nights there were cold but the days were hot enough to give everyone a good tan. Most men of the battalion can't wait to see the land of the midnight sun, and everyone will learn a lot about survival," concluded the sergeant major.
The Battalion is scheduled to return to K-Bay February 2, colder but more aware of what it takes to survive in the Arctic.

Mounted Marines: Part of K-Bay's history By Sgt. Gordy Coe
In addition to the many members of the Pearl Harbor Sur- vivors Association who toured the Air Station during the month of December, two members of the original eight mounted Marines and another member who later joined the unit also paid a visit to their old stomping grounds.
The three former mounted Marines were retired Master Sergeant Gordon Poling, former Sergeants Emil Sifrer and John Nichols. They were also among those who were here during the Japanese attack December 7, 1941.
HOW THEY WERE FORMED
Soon after the commisioning ceremonies for Naval Air Station, Kaneohe Bay in February 1941, according to MSgt. Poling, the Station's first commanding officer, Navy Commander Harold Martin decided he wanted a Mounted Marine Detachment. Its mission would be to patrol the magazine areas and the landing mat. Commander Martin arranged for an appropriation for stables and the first contingent of eight horses which were four year old unbroken mounts from Parker Ranch on the Big Island.
"The next question in the Com- mander's mind", explained Poling, "was which Marines he would choose to break and train the horses. He found out through a phone call to Marine Barracks that C.O. Major J.C. Donehoo, Jr., had done a hitch with the cavalry and had some experience with horses. Since I was the only Marine found to be an ex-horse- man, it was confirmed that I
would be the man in charge. Major Donehoo then gave me free hand to pick the other seven Marines who would make up the Detachment", he continued.
Most of the Marines Poling chose were inexperienced horse- men, including then Private First Class Sifrer. Sifrer recalls Poling
asking if he would like to join the Mounted Marines. He replied, "Sgt. Poling, I've never rode a horse." He ended up on a horse anyway. It took no more than two steps and Sifrer fell off. "I told you I never rode a horse," explained the young Marine. "You're the man I want," stated Poling as he explained how he picked his mounted Marines more than 35 years ago.
Before becoming Mounted Marines, the eight Leathernecks were among the 33 Marines from Marine Barracks, Pearl Harbor under command of Platoon Ser- geant George Spence that came to relieve the civilian guard at the new Sea Plane Base here.
A big help in starting the unit was Maj. Donehoo, then Com- manding Officer of Marine Bar- racks here. He helped initiate the action and gave Poling per- mission to choose the rest of his men. "You couldn't have found a better skipper or a man and our Marines would have followed him to hell," stated Sifrer. "Donehoo was a father to everyone away from home," replied Nichols.
DAY OF THE ATTACK
According to Poling, "One week before the attack we had been alerted of an outside attack by the Japanese, possibly coupled by a wave of sabotage from within. Everyone manned their battle stations until late Sunday after- noon when word came out by message, telephone and radio to secure from the alert and relax. Peace negotiations were being made in Washington and every- one would be given ample time in case of a breakdown in relations. Due to that word, the following week-end everyone relaxed and that is when they hit us," he stated.
"During the evening of December 6," Poling continued, "Mounted Marines were at their quarters along with some friends for a party. By that time the Detachment had tripled in size."
After the party which lasted
most of the night, John Nichols was making chow runs back and forth from the Marines quarters to the mess hall. He was on his way back from his last run when he saw what looked to be rounds hitting the water. Nichols could not recognize any of the aircraft overhead until one turned to its side revealing the rising sun (Japanese Insignia). He and his passengers then knew for sure that it was not Army maneuvers or a joke, but a Japanese attack.
As quickly as possible Nichols sped back to the Marine quarters and grabbed the first available weapon which was a 1903 Springfield. He then swiftly loaded and began firing. Other Marines also fired upon the planes as soon as they acquired a weapon. Soon after, smoke was seen coming from one of the air- craft and, according to Poling, everyone started yelling, "I got
him I got him. But no one knows for sure who shot it down or if it did in fact even crash!"
Though the Japanese attack was a terrible surprise to all per- sonnel aboard the Station, accounts abound of courage and many tired to set the example. According to Poling, Sifrer and Nichols, even Commander Mar- tin fired on enemy aircraft that day.
After his car had been strafed on the way to church services with his two daughters, the Com- mander promptly got them to safety and began firing at the enemy along with his confused but courageous men.
The trio of horse Marines are only few of the many former military personnel who return to this thriving Air Station annually. They all have their stories of that infamous day, December 7, 1941.
