CALIF. MARINES TO OPPOSE BRIGADE DURING CLEAR RIDGE

Leathernecks of the 1st Marine Brigade. scheduled to invade Kauai next month in Operation CLEAR RIDGE. will face an entrenched and determined "aggressor" force composed of some 250 Camp Pendleton, Calif. Marines.

The "aggressor" force, "F" Co.. 2nd Mi., 7th Marines, commanded by Capt. E. R. Savoy, was scheduled to arrive at Kaneohe Bay yesterday aboard the LST Westchester County.

They will spend two days on Oahu, then depart for Kauai to begin building their defenses in the Bark- ing Sands area. Although the force is small, each of the "aggressors" represents 4 enemy for tactical purposes. This means that should two Brigade Leathernecks encount- er one lone aggressor, they are out- numbered and would be assessed as casualties.

To back-up their defenses, "ag- gressors" will install barbed-wire entanglements, artillery positions, tank traps, road blocks and mine fields. Many of these defenses will be actual, others "constructive" for purposes of the exercise.

During the landing and the three days of simulated combat to follow, umpire groups, attached to both at- tacking and defending forces, will add realism to the problem by rul- ing on each encounter, assessing casualties, losses of equipment and supplies and capture of prisoners.

Additional Homes Near Completion

Statements made this week by the contractor has shed some light on the progress of K-Bay's long-await- ed Capehart Housing.

Six families are already living in the project. Another 22 families were notified early in August that they will be moved in soon.

Barry J. Richards, of Richards Construction Co., has stated to Hon- olulu press representatives that the first increment (108 units) will be

Annual Combat Marksmanship Competition. The Marine Corps-wide combat competition starts Tuesday Sept. 8 and ends Saturday Sept. 12.

problem is designed to test the effectiveness of small units. The unique program displays the proficiency of representative squads from every regiment in the Marine Corps.

Col. J. W. Antonelli, 4th Marines commanding officer, presented each member of the winning squad a special "top" rifle squad certificate during aloha oe (farewell) ceremon- ies Wednesday morning here.

On Tuesday night, "B" Company commander Capt. C. E. Wilcox honored the 13-man unit in a ban- quet held at Mess Hall Two.

Representing t h e Brigade a t Quantico are: ActSgt. C. C. Daven- port, squad leader; ActCpl. P. E.

In determining the top regimen- tal squad, tests were conducted last July at the Station and Waikane Training area.

Points were awarded based on the overall performance of the squads. The latter were tested on helicopter lift procedures, orders. formations, fire and manuevers, fire control and accuracy, assault and reorganization defense and ABC passive defense measures.

"H" Company of the 2nd Battal- ion placed as runner-up. Last year, 1st Battalion's "C" Company won the 4th Marine competition. Nor- mally, the 13-man unit would have participated in the Corps-wide com- petition which was cancelled be- cause of a then tense world condi- tion.

Second Battalion's "G" Company went to Quantico in 1957 and placed third in the First Annual Unit Com- bat Marksmanship Competition.

Editor's Corner

PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE The Number One Killer of Naval and Marine Corps per-

sonnel - motor vehicles - took an even greater toll in 1958 than expected. Death could hardly have come more unexpectedly to the victims themselves. In many cases the serviceman was an innocent victim who could have avoided catastrophe only by keeping off the highways. In other instances a little courtesy or just plain patience might have been mustered. In many instances a few hours of shuteye in a more appropriate place than at the wheel of an automobile would have been sufficient.

While there were fewer persons involved in motor vehicle accidents in 1958, a larger proportion of those that were involved were killed.

Both the admission and death rates for enlisted personnel were over three times those for officers. Similarly. Marine Corps personnel had higher rates than Navy.

Sick list admissions resulting from motor vehicle accidents are most numerous over the weekend period - Saturday through Sunday. Year after year, Saturday is the year on which motor vehicle accidents take the most lives of Naval personnel - nearly one fourth.

Nearly 8 out of 10 injuries involved automobiles, and one in every 10 involved a motorcycle. Running off the roadway was the most frequent causative factor - 33 1/3 per cent.

The admisison rate for the 20-24 age group was 70 per cent higher than the next group.

IN BRIEFs 6.5,13 Navy and Marine Corps personnel were injured in motor-vehicle accidents during 1958.

565 Died. 273,279 sick days were accumulated. 749 were in the sick list each day of the year (average). 90% were on Leave or Liberty at the time of their accidents. 75% were in passenger cars. 11% were involved in motorcycle accidents.

The estimated cost to the Government was over $20,000,000. Statistics show that the group most frequently involved are young Marine enlisted men 20-24 years old.

Concentrated effort must be put forth by every individual in the Navy and Marine Corps to cut down on the tragic loss of life.

OBSERVATIONS-- According to a Navy announcement this week, the U. S. Patent

Office is looking for new inventions They have published a new booklet which provides much of the information an inventor needs prior to applying for a patent It's surprising why some- one hasn't submitted the idea for an invention used quite fre- quently, "How to get out of work."

Couldn't help but notice a painter taking very artistic pains with his work this week When he completed the job, he hung up a likewise very artistic sign which read, "Wet Paint." Just as he completed hanging the sign, a friend of his happened by and the two got into a conversation . . . while they were talking, the painter leaned tip against the wall where he had just painted His friend began laughing, and made the remark, "Gee, that's a pretty sign you painted." The painter looked up at the sign and remarked. "Yea. I would rather paint signs than have to paint things like this" It was then that he realized be had his hand in the wet paint.

Chaplain's Corner By Chaplain Kevin J. Cosine,'

I have wondered very often If Vic-

tor Herbert realized how exactly he

summarized the mye'..ery of life as

he wrote "Sweet mystery of life,

tls love". If we really stop to study

and examine life, we see that the

purpose of life, the end of life, and

all that goes between is love. .

To go back to the beginning, the

only logical reason that can be given

for an omnipotent God creating Was

His desire for someone to love and to

love Him in return. Coming on down through history,

Our Divine Saviour gave us a sim-

ple summary of what we must do to

gain eternal life when He command-

ed, "Love the Lord thy God with

thy whole heart, with thy whole

soul, with thy whole mind and with

all thy strength; and love thy neigh-

bor as thyself". And coming to the present, every-

thing we do in our own life is in- stigated by, and motivated by love- love of God, love of neighbor, love

of self or love of worldly possessions.

The question each one of us must resolve in our own minds, is what is the source- and and of my love? HOMES To answer and satisfy the mystery of life, the answer to that question must be that God and His Will be

the object of my love. As the great St. Augustine wrote, "My God, my

soul cannot rest until it rests in Thee".

Wse Algal/do, P By LCpl. S. Zagarella

A number of persons feel that something new should be added to the Marine Exchange. This week we asked. "What new facility or service woul you like to see in your Marine Exchange?"

ACMSGT. L D. MAYER - have a good var- iety of items at our Exchange but they don't carry any fishing or hunting egui p- m ent. This is the first exchange that I've seen that doesn't car- ry rifles, shotguns and hand guns.

They LCPL. VERN TOWNSEND - I don't think the exchange has a complete enough line of books. I

think a few selec- tions of each o the best selling novels would sell and be of inter- est to a number of Marines. If we buy these books in town they would cost a fortune

money.

ACSSGT.

MX could save us some PFC CHARLIE CHOATE - I

think the Excange needs a bigger and better sport- ing goods de- partment.. They don't carry skin diving gear and with all the jn. ferest in that one port over here in

the Islands they should have a big supply on hand.

Officers Wives The hectic school preparations are

at last becalmed and all the young students are back in shoes and get- ting educated! Our luncheon is

Tuesday and there should surely be a large and happy turn-out to start the Club year off in fine style.

I am really anticipating hearing Mr. Wong. also viewing the newly added attraction. Peggy Lyons has been busy organizing some of the 0' Wives to model Hawaiian wear during the luncheon. All fashions will be from our own Main Exchange (therefore within the budget) and will include several popular types of Island attire. Maybe this will help clarify which is the holoku and which the holomuu.

This is last chance for reserva- tions, so "don't delay, call today"-to Jean Ernst, 25-0421 or Miriam son, 72-888.

Staff NCO Wives By Jo Kuchiski

The Staff NCO Wives Club held their regular business meeting Sept. 1, at 7:30 pm. in the Staff NCO Club ballroom. During the meeting 12

members were installed. During the month of Sept., the

following events are planned. On Sept. 11, a boat tour is scheduled. All members are urged to be at tilt boat docks at 9 am. A fashion show by Nina's is planned for Sept, 15.

Lunch will be served during the show at the Staff NCO Club. Admission will be one dollar per person, and reservations must be made by Sept. 8. This event will begin at 11:30 a.m. in the club ballroom.

A nomination committee has se-

lected the following members to run for office in the coming elec- tion; Pres., Mrs. Vera Krotky and Mrs. Dottie Whittington: V -Pres. Mrs. Lorraine Williams and Mrs. Tholma Poorman: Sec., Mrs. Sybil Prince: Treasurer, Mrs. Gene Me- nerd and Mrs. Helen Larson, and Sgt. at Arms, Mrs. Dorothy Holsen- back and Mrs. Mildred Burck.

He also said that Cie second in-1 crement (105 traits) would be ready for occupancy within 30-to-45 days later (Nov. 1-15).

Richards stated that the remain- ing four increments would be read- ied for occupancy, one at a time during periods of 30-to-45 days thereafter.

ACSSGT. FRANK W. LEDEE-We can order many things from the special order desk but I feel that the exchange should carry a bigger selection of ra- dios. It would be a great improve-

. moment as far as I'm concerned if we had a decent variety of models to choose from.

SCHOOL (Continued From Page I)

while a third building will be util- ized for a library.

The number of classrooms was di- ctated by children who are excepted to be liv- ing aboard the Station when the new school opens. It is expected that nearly a thousand families will be living aboard the Station when Cap- hart is completed.

Hawaii's DPI bases its teacher- pupil ratio on a 1-to-32 standard.

The new school wil ]be located on approximately 10 acres of land. facing Mokapu Rd., near Station housing and adjacent to the 4th Marines parade ground.

Plans for the new school were pre- pared by the firm of Law and Wil- son, architects and engineers.

ISTLT. HANK G. MILLER - I

find that things close up too ear- ly. By the time many of our men get off work ev- erything is closed and many of our men work until five and by that # time they can't get into the laundry or barber shop. I also feel that the prices here are higher than those at other exchanges on the Islands.

the number of school-age ACTGYSGT. WELDON GREGG An improve-

ment I feel that hould be made

is that they have a better showing of their house- hold items, like refrigerators and such. They are presently stuck

back in a corner of package sales and not on display to all. I think there are some people who don't even know they exist. I also feel that our Exchange should carry rifles and small arms.

It could have been that the Ma- rine happened to be built like an All-American football player, car- rying about 220 pounds on his 6'2" frame. The man is ActCpl, Leonard J. Bishop, a teletype operator with the Station communication section.

He was decked put in full Scot- tish reglia-kilts, purse, leggins, tam and bagpipe-to have his picture taken. Bishop wore the tartan of the Clan MacKenzie, the distingu- ishing plaid of his highland sixes-

Here's the background on Bishop and his colorful regalia:

About a year ago Bishop's grand- mother prtented the costume and bagpipes to her Marine grandson following a visit to her native Scot- land.

The 22-year-old Leatherneck was much impressed with the gift. if somewhat preplexed as to what to do with it. He considered the sentiment behind the present. Bishop may have also considered the value of the regalia, about S300 for the costume and approx- imately $200 for the bagpipes.

As a matter of record, Bishop :-

the only Marine bagpipe student studying at the Agnes Wallace Stu- dio, or probably anywhere else in Honolulu for that matter. He is de- I

finitely the only Marine at the Kan-; eohe Bay Marine Corps Air Station wearing kilts these days.

Bishop noted that the greate.t difficulty in learning to play the 'pipes, is to master the coordina- tion required between the breath- ing and hand movements. Al

though his repertoire is currently limited to a few tunes. Bishop keeps practicing faithfully. He does his practicing outdoors,

generally in the Station communica- tion parking lot after duty hours. Since starting on the bagpipes, Bi- shop has learped that there are two types of people, those who like bag- pipe music and those who don't like bagpipe music.

To keep harmony in the barracks, Bishop practices his harmony out- side.

A native of Wellsburg. W. Va., Bishop has no professional plans in the music field. It's simply a ques- tion of a Scotsman, "don't call it Scotchman", receiving a present and not allowing it to go t.4., waste.

Marines Nab Match Trophies; Fail to Win National Crown

Marines at the National Rifle Matches took a sound thrashing for the first time in many years last month when they fallen to capture their fair share of National Cham- pionships in the NRA and Board Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio.

The only bright spot in an other- wise gloomy season was complete domination of the 1,000 yard range by Marine shooters.

In the long-distance shooting, the Marines took first and second places in the individual Leech and Wim- bleton Trophies and the Herrick Team Trophy.

Acting Staff Sergeant Donald S. Al Wagner, Leech Winner, with a re-

cord score of 100/17V and Acting Master Sergeant Fre.ik 0. Wimble- don winner, with a score of 100.19y, made up the long distance individual championship pair.

FAR EAST TOUR

f

Last Saturday an All-Star Marine team left by plane to tour the Far East in a six-week tour of exhibition baseball in Japan and Okinawa.

One of the determining factors in who made up the team depended on the outcome of the All-Marine Tournament played at the Honolulu Stadi- um last week, It was decided that the winning team would be allowed to pick nine players for the trip and the other two teams would furnish four players apiece. The Third Marine Division sent two men with the tour and a special request was sent to San Diego Recruit Depot for Floyd Robinson to join the MI-Star squad for the tour.

Robinson is a young 21 year old who burned up the score books in the San Diego Area while in high school and immediately after graduation was signed to the Cleveland Indians and assigned to the San Diego Padres .n 1957. He was named Rookie of the Year in the Pacific Coast League that year. He joined the Marine Corps and played last year with that squad when they won the All-Marine championship. He is still a member of that squad.

Camp Lejeune had been the heavy favorite in this series and their ace cighthander has been the key to most of that speculation. Gerry Smith came to Hawaii wearing a 31-3 record and was the key to Lejeune's defeat at Camp Pendleton as he fanned 15 in the opening game. In the sixth and eighth frames he fanned all three batters in a row. He pitched eight in- nings of scoreless ball after being touched for tw' runs in the opening frame. He previously had a 33 scoreless inning streak going before he arrived in the Islands.

Other probables from Lejeune were shortstop Charles Armstrong, who nad two for four in the opening game; catcher Barrie Fullerton. three for five and Hal Norton, Lejeune's hustling first sacker.

Pendleton was expected to furnish hurler Nat Booker, who took the loss from Lejeune Monday night; Jim Spurting, their leading hitter and third baseman at the age of 3'7; and Pete Cherinko, a fire-ball reliefer at 39 years.

As to the question "What Happen- ed" at the 1959 Camp Perry Nation- al Rifle Matches? This will be hash- ed and rehashed through many sea- sons to come.

DISCARDED AMBULANCE SURE

NO HOT ROD, BUT ADEQUATE ActSgt. James L. Clemons, Ser. Co., Ser. Bn.,

has the most unique privately-owned vehicle K-Bay's main gate bearing a red sticker.

He drives an ambulance, not government "bought and paid for" - ambulance.

It's not that he's expecting an ac- cident, it's simply that he has want- ed an ambulance (or a hearse) for the past four years. His chance to buy one came three months ago* when he spotted an advertisment in a Honolulu paper by Aloha Motors. He rushed into town and paid cash on the line for a 1951 Packard-Hen- ney ambulance.

Stretchers, siren and other med- ical apparatus had been stripped from the vehicle but it was still a wonderful buy at $100. Clemons claims the engine purrs like a kit- ten and all the ambulance needs is some transmission work and a new paint job, Clemons plans on doing much of

the work himself at the Station Hobby Shop Garage. The 24 year- old Marine serves as a mechanic with his unit's motor transport sec- tion.

Despite the ribbing he's taken, Clemons plans to hold on to the ambulance and is figuring on tak- ing it back to the mainland when his tour here is up next May.

Already nicknamed "the white ghost", the vehicle was formerly used by St. Francis Hospital In Honolulu.

Clemons has no qualms about riding in ambulance, as long as he is in the driver's seat. There is log- ic in the Marine's wanting to own an ambulance.

He figures that it is the ideal vehicle to take on fishing and hunt- ing trips. There is plenty of room

Navy Medic Wins Recon Citation

HM3 Alexander J. Halmage, Hos- pitalman for "B" Co., 3rd Recon- naissance Bn., here at MCAS was awarded a meritorious mast before the commanding officer 4th Marine Regiment, Col. J. Antonelli, last week, for his outstanding work dur- ing the 81 mile hike over Mauna Loa on the Island of Hawaii.

Halmag's mast read in part: .

"Due to the difficulty of resupply, there was at times a shortage of wa- ver. During periods of such short- ages, you unites- itantly gave your own water to the troops who had no water of their own, During 'breaks' you insured that those men requiring help were

taken care of before attempting to

rest yourself. At various other times, you carried equipment of troops who had become fatigued or ar-sis-

sted them up the mountain. You

set up sick call after each day's march was over and worked on into the night administering to their needs before you cared for your own.

"Your performance during this vigorous training march was an inspiration to all members of the Company, and a distinct credit to your Corps as well as to this Regiment."

YOKOSUKA, Japan -A heroic mid-ocean rescue ended in tragedy last week when an officer of the attack transport BEXAR was drowned after rescuing a Marine during high winds and heavy seas caused by typhoon Ellen.There other men were killed and six injujed when a huge WaVf

broke over the ship's bow. When the wave struck, two men were washed overboard. One of the two men was recovered by Ensign Robert D. Stan- nus, San Antonio, Tex., who volunteered to go over the side and attempt a rescue. Ensign Stannus got the Marine safety aboard the ship, but drowned before he could be pulled aboard. No trace was found of the other mar, washed overboard.

CAMP PENDLETON -The lstBn., 5th Marine Regiment was echeduled to arrive at Okinawa yesterday. This battalion will replace the lstBn., 3rd Marines who are scheduled to board the same ships this Sunday, and sal. for San Diego. On. Nov. 2, the 2nd Bn., bth Marines will sail for Okinawa to replace the 2nd Bn., 3rd Marines.

FLINT, MICHIGAN - ActSSgt, Irene L. Matthews has the distinction of being the only girl in a Marine infantry company of 133 male Marine Re- servists. She reported with the rest of her unit to Parris Island recently t,

undergo two weeks or summer training. While the company was busy firing the rifle and learning judo. she busied herself observing up-to-date methods of women recruit training, and studied Marine Corps offer procedures.

TORRANCE, CALIF.-Marine recruiters ActSgt. F. T. Bratskowsky anc ActSSgt. E. P. Hayes, realizing that most of their prospects were gathering at the local beaches rather than in the warm cities, they obtained premis- sion from authorities in the Bay Area to run their Marine Corps vehicle or.

the local beaches. With one man in dress blues, and the other in issue bath- , ing trunks, they stir up enough attention to draw a crowd wondering what

they are doing so far out on the beach. As Sgt. Bratkowsky puts it, "maybe 't isn't the best idea in the world, but the results so far have proven that the effort was worth it, we've enlisted two bathers.
