terminals due to misunderstandings. This is particularly true of retired

personnel and those on leave. To minimize difficulties and per-

sonnel hardships, MATS is warning that there are risks of seeking space

available transportation and that individuals are required to bear all

incidental expenses while awaiting space available transportation.

4TH MARINES CO

Col. John Antonelli is expected to

arrive here Monday to assume command of the 4th Marines. He re- places Col. John M. Masters, who

Is being reassigned to Marine Corps Heady carters.

An order setting up a two-phase Limited Duty Officer-Warrant Of- ficer program for Fiscal Year 1960

and inviting commanding officers to submit nominations for the first phase was announced by Marine Corps headquarters last week.

Under terms of the new directive. Marine Corps Order 1040.12, the first phase of the FY 1960 program will be similar to those of previous years in that it will be aimed pri- marily at temporary officers, war-

rant officers, and outstanding senior NCOs in the grade of E-6 and above.

FY 1960 program's second phase. however, will solicit applications for WO from E-4s and above hay- ing six through eight years of service. This represents a departure from previous selection poicies and is a partial implementation of an extensive study now underway at HQMC on the overall junior officer grade structure. The study has not yet been finally approved and de- tails have not been announced.

Selections from among E-4s and above, in the second phase of FY

1960 program, will be made on the basis of "growth potential versus demonstrated skill in a particular specialty," MCO 1040.12 said. Waiver ol the six through eight-

year service requirement will be permitted in the case of exception- ally well qualified personnel with not more than 10 years service. Ad-

Editor's Corner

eitigenditip - 1959 By FATHER JAMES W. CONTE

A man is almost never alone, apart from some community life. People occasionally join something for selfish reasons, as in the case of the undertaker who belonged to all the clubs in town and to all seven churches; but there is still something about us that makes us want to belong to something, to feel that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves. A man who doesn't want to belong to anything or anyone. is probably a very selfish person, indifferent to the needs or interests of others. This is true because he orders his life according to his own interests alone. When we do this we invariably conflict with the desires and interests of others. Therefore, it is impossible to lead a happy, reasonable, and useful life, except when the needs and interests of others are taken into consideration.

Understanding that you are a citizen will make you a better citizen. Citizenship properly understood means the merging of an individual into the whole of society, with the understanding that he shares alike in the duty which this involves, as well as in the privileges which it confers. These two aspects of citizenship must never be divorced; cannot be separated, except at the grave danger to the individual and the society concerned.

Therefore, as citizens, we are responsible in part for all that is low and undesirable in America. This follows since we inherit and share alike in all the blessings that come as a result of our being American citizens. Any danger that threatens our country is a threat to each of us, a threat to our happiness. Any poverty is our problem, every alcoholic, every rape, murder, robbery, every word of filthy profanity-these all are our problems. Any threat to the right and freedom of another is a threat to our own.

Whatever we are, to a large extentwe owe to our families. We are better citizens because we have a family to which we are responsible. We see here the essence of citizenship, both in its weakness and in its strength. We are very close to our families. We have ties of devotion and love And obligations to them. In a very real sense, we live for our families. Out of this, however. we derive a tremendous amount of satisfaction. It is easy to see that the elements which go to make one a good citizen also make one a good father, husband, or a respectful and reverent son. This also applies to the distaff side of the family. The common tics of the home can be used as a guide to the larger framework of community life, as you conduct yourself as a right thinking and right acting citizen of America.

The quality of your life is determined by the kind of things to which you are devoted. Men have often in the course of American history, given their all, their very life, to preserve the American way of life. If the big test ever came for us, would we be able to meet it? We can know the answer to that question by whether or not we are measuring up right now!

Let us thank God for the Fourth of July, the day which made all of our privileges possible. At the same time, let ur reflect that in order to enjoy these privileges with a clear conscience we should carry out our individuai parts in being better citizens of this country called America.

2d Divvy Marines Hit Chicago Beach

Members of the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines, will hit Montrose Avenue Beach in Chicago tomorrow in the first of several "invasions" planned by the Camp Lejeune-based Leath- zeinecks during Operation "Inland Seas." The exercise is held as part of the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Ship to shore movement begins at noon, with all supporting .wea. ons and equipment of a reinforced battalion being used. Frogmen an stippoi t aircraft will precede t!:, Mar:nes hi preparing the beach it landing.

As the troops land. supportli. weapons of armored tanks, artiller flame throwers and Ontos will b

used. An "Honest John" rockei. communications gear and mechai..- ical mules complete the array of supporting equipment.

Following the demonstration in Chicago the amphibious Marines will rejoin the amphibious force in

I similar demonstrations. In succes- sion, the battalion will land at Mc- Kinley Beach, Milwaukee, July 8:

I Edgewater Beach, Cleveland, July 18; Presque Isle State Park Beach Erie, Pa., July 22: and Ontario Beach, Rochester, July 25.

President Eisenhower and Queen Elizabeth H formally opened the St. Lawrence Seaway last Friday.

WATCH FOR IT, MR. TAXPAYER

This is the lust in a series of ar- ticles designed to point out to YOU the reasons why it's SMART to be conservation minded. Each time you leave a light burning or a faucet dripping don't think that it is in- significant. Just remember that you are one of some 10.000 persons aboard this Station and each has the same idea and this goes on 365 days a year; therefore, problems are increased enormously. Every- time you take the effort to conserve, whether it's utilities, office mater- ials, or the like, you will free more dollars to provide you with more and better services at this activity.

Keep your eyes open to see what dollars and cents value you can save yourself, taxpayer!!!

By KENTON SKEELS

Four hundred and 42 service personnel were involved in automobile

accidents during the past six months on Oahu. To what cause do you

attribute this high rate? This was the question that was asked of these

six Marines stationed here at MCAS by the Inquiring Photographer.

PFC. B. L. GRAHAM, H&S Co., 1st Bn., 4th Ma- rines - Most of te accidents are caused by exces- sive speeds and carelessness. The drivers don't pay attention to the caution signs.

ACTSSGT. ROBERT WILLIAMS, H&S Co., 1st Bn., 4th Marines - The high accident rate is :argely due to in- correct driving habits. Each individual should be

Au.. required to take a military driving test before being allowed to drive an automobile.

LCPL. RICHARD Hq&HqSqdrn - I think the driver is at fault. He should be more cautious, courte- ous and observ- ant of traffic rules and of other drivers.

ARGUELLES,

PFC. CHARLES BLACKWELL, "D" Co., Ist Bn

4th Marines - I

attribute the high accident rate to drinking and driving. The two just don't go together on the highways.

ACTSGT. GORDON RICE, Sub Unit =1 - Many of the accidents that include service personnel are caused by the men getting in a

hurry to return to the Station.

liberty They stay out on

until the last minute and then speed to get back.

ACTMSGT. JOHN TOON, Hq&- HqSqdrn. - I I,

feel that the accident rate is

caused by the ;

lack of personal responsibility o n

the part of the drivers. They seem to overlook the importance of being behind the wheel of an auto.

Rickover Joins Education Debate

With Bock of Facts and Theories Controversial Admiral H. G. Rick-

over hits upon many more controversial but sound arguments in his book EDUCATION AND FREEDOM which is now available in the Sta- tion Library.

He reminds his readers in the first few pages that civilization is a race 'pelween education and catastrophe. Obstacles must be removed if Ameri- ca is to move forward.

"Let us stop foolng ourselves", Rickover warns. "by counting school desks without considering chat the children sitting at these desks are being taught. Many of our children are merely parked in schools. They merely have a good time there. Few get a 20th Century education." Rickover says the talented stu-

dents are "shackled in lock-step" with average and below-average pu- pils who are forced to or wish only to have fun at school. In regard 'o this he further says, "Unless we abandon false 'democratic' cliques which interpret democracy as en- enthronement of the commonplace and obstruction of ereellence, we find that we have traded democratic freedom for a mess of pseudo-democratic medioracy."

Several methods are suggested in rebuilding the educational system. The first is the elimination of useless frills. This should then be followed by improvement in the teaching of the average child and the finding of the right education for our talented children.

He warns against permitting apathy to weaken our momentum.

We must have education strong in purpose, versatile in methods and dedicated to development of citizens who are able to meet the obligations which today's events place upon us.' he states.

Rickover's observations and com- ments are based on some of his work in the nuclear power projects where he had difficulty getting capable men, Retraining was necessary before many of his men were qualified for their work,

EDUCATION AND FREEDOM is controversial . . . how controversial depends on the reader's stand on educaton. Regardless of his stand, the reader will find the book presents good arguments for private conversation or a PTA debate ... and some deep thinking on America's education. Other new books in the Station

Library include: Brave New World Revisited by Al-

dous Huxley. A calm estimate of

what has been done, what is being done and what may very soon be done to turn men into compliant robots since Mr. Huxley wrote Brave New World.

On War by Raymond Aron. A pro- vocative re-examination of the problem of atomic warfare as viewed from historical and humanistic con- siderations.

The Pledge by Friedrich Durren- matt. A new level in the mystery field concerns the murder of a child and the effect on Inspector Mattha: of his pledge to find the killer.

The Shanghai Rem by Mona Gar- dner. An unsual collection of short stories with a Par Eastern settiug.

July 2, 1959 U. S. MARINE CORPS AIR STATION, KANEOHE BAY,

NEW FISHING AREAS OPENED; STOCKING PROGRAM STARTS

Areas for recreational fishing for marines, their dependents and , uests aboard the Station have peen changed to open new areas

rule closing others which had been copular during recent months.

The new order, dated June 23, opens for the first time in the past five years the fish ponds on the ocean side of Mokapu Road near the Station entrance. The ponds 01 the bay side have always been open to fishing.

Regulations specify that the ponds be fished only from shore. Boats will not be permitted there. Plans call for a regular stocking

program, the first of which will be made about Aug. 1, Stocking will consist of both catchable and fin- gerling plants of tulepia, a fish which reaches an average weight of About two pounds.

Fish for these stockings will be furnished by the Territorial Fish and Wildlife department. All :cork connected with the stocking will be accomplished by Station personnel.

Fishermen are limited to the use of pole, hook and line in the ponds, with a maximum of two poles per person. Throw nets for sport fishing are allowed, but must be thrown by one person and must have a minimum stretch mesh of one and a half inches. Nets may be used to obtain bait,

but they must be of the dip-net type, not more than three feet in diameter.

Fishing in the open sea from shore is limited to that portion of the shore off the golf course. and the rocky ledges near the new swimming beach.

Those who wish to fish off the golf courses are cautioned that

VMF -232 Corporal To Study for 'Wings'

Acting Cpl. J. D. Morris has won the distinction of becoming the first Kaneohe Bay-based Marine to be selected to attend the newly estab- lished Marine Aviation Cadet Pro- :ram.

Prior to his selection. Morris was :tached to VMA-232 as an elec-

tronics technician. Morris is scheduled to report to

Pensacola in August to begin flight 'raining as a Marine aviation cadet. He will undergo training in all phases of jet aircraft.

A native of Harrisburg, Art., Mor- ris enlisted in the Marine Corps in Oct. 1956 in Memphis. Tenn. Fol- lowing recruit training he was transferred to the Marine Air Detach- ment, NATC. Memphis, Tenn.. prior to reporting to VM'F -232 for duty in Jan. 1958.

they must park in the golf course parking lot and walk across the course to the fishing area. This area has been known to produce fair catches of oh) or bonefish. The rocky ledges near the new

swimming beach are not recom- mended by those who have tried to fish there. It is an extremely dan- gerous area with high seas fre- quently washing up over the ledge.

In connection with this warning, all those who desire to fish alone are required to notify the sergeant of the guard 1phone 72131) at Build- ing 218 as to the area an\ the length of time they expect to be fishing there. When they depart the area they must again check out with the sergeant of the igeard.

Fishing is not permitted in areas other than those outlined above with the exception that fishing from the Finger Pier, popularly known locally as Navy Pier, is per- missable. Permission must be obtained from the duty petty officer at the Navy Boathouse. Fishing from boats under control

of Special Services or boats owned by military personnel attached to this station which hold Kaneohe Bay permit numbers, is allowed in all areas except those specifically prohibited by Station Order 5510.1E. It is suggested that all personnel read this order before going fishing on Station.

Trinity Chapel Memorial Rites

Memorial services were held Tuesday at the Trinity Chap- el for Cpl. Axel H. Alsene. 21, who is presumed dead after disappearing between Oahu and Molokai June 20.

Alsene left the Kailua Sky Ranch near the Air Station in a private plane that date on his first solo flight.

When he did not return. military and private planes. helicopters and Coast Guard cutters searched the area for over two days but found no trace of the plane.

Alsene was attached to Ma- rine Attack Squadre^-212.

He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Gertrude Alsene of Bloomington. Illinois.

Medical Personnel

Hold Field Exercise Medical personnel of the 1st Ma-

rine Brigade held a field exercise in the Ft. Rase area last Thursday to train in the treatment and evacuation of casualties.

Rear Adm. Courtney G. Clegg, Fleet Medical Officer on the staff of the Commander -in- Chief, Pa cfiic Fleet, was on hand to observe the realistic exercise in which 200

Marines were utilized as "casualties."

Under the direction of Navy Capt. M. M. Small, Brigade Med- ical Officer, such field problems as this are held regularly to sharpen corpsmen in the functions of all phases of the medical section under combat conditions. Helicopters from HMR-161 were

used extensively in air evacuation and in a simulated displacement of the air station. Field ambulances and stretcher bearers were worked into the problem and casualty reporting sections had a heavy work- out.

Every conceivable type of injury, right down to a finger cut on a "C" ration can, was handled.

High spot for observers was the arrival of a field ambulance at the aid station with a simulated "combat fatigue" case, The Marine stepped down from the ambuance and then suddenly went into a rage. It took several corpsmen to restrain him and finally strap him to a lit- ter. Such unrehearsed incidents as these keep the medical people on their toes throughout these problems.

ditional schooling is planned for those selected in order to increase their effectiveness.

The two-phase LTSO-WO program will be continued through Fiscal Years 1961 and 1962. That is to say,

Q. How can the Performance Rat- ing Board decide that an employee is not Outstanding although his supervisor says so?

A. The Performance Rating Board does not say that an employee has or has not performed in an outstanding manner. Its responsibity is to determine whether or not the supervisor has substantiated his rec- ommendation. When a recommenda- tion is disapproved, the basis of dis- approval is that the recommenda- tion is not properly substantiated- not that the employee is not out-

Varsity Nine Stretches Lead In Service Baseball Play

Hawaii's Marine Diamond squad pulled two-and-a-half games in front of second place SubPac in the service section of the Hawaii Major Baseball League this week by downing Naval Air 9-8, the Pearl Harbor Admirals 9-3 and the Ha- wail Braves 4-3 in 13 innings to stretch their winning streak to 12

straight.

The Leatherneck, hopped off to a 4-2 lead in the opening inning of the game against Naval Air at Riseley Field Wednesday, June 24, and added three more in the fifth and a pair in the sixth to take the win.

Naval Air Flyers had run their lead to a 7-4 deficit in the fifth when Rudy Faust came up in the bottom half of the inning and doubled to lead off. Bud Balzer walked, Jack Lennon popped out to shortstop Chico Valles and Bud Hol- lenkamp came in to pinch hit for Danny Wells. Hollenkamp singled to score Faust and Kehoe popped out to righfielder Jim Montgomery for a sacrifice to score Balzer. Dick Young walked and Don Furth singled to score Hollenkamp for the third run of the inning to tie it up.

Naval Air's second baseman Jim Boyette singled and came in to score on a passed ball to Ray Chase two batters later.

The Marines clinched it in the sixth with a run by Bill Haywood who had walked and Balzer came in on a wild pitch by reliefer Tom DiAlfonso after he had got on with a single and gone to second on an error on Montgomery.

The triumph over the Pearl Harbor Admirals was a runaway as pitcher Bill Haywood gave up only two hits. walked three and struck out 10 batters.

The Admirals used up four hurl- ers in an attempt to slow up the Marines. The loss went to Ken At- !

terbury. who had started the season with the Hawaii Marines and then switched to the Admrials. He ,

is a Navy corpsman. Marines led off with a single run

in the third then added three in the fourth, two in the fifth and three more in the sixth.

Rudy Faust hit a triple in the sixth for his only hit of the game and Bud Balzer and Jac:: Lennon paired hits. Lennon with a homer and a single and Balzer with a double and a single. Catcher Joe Kehoe hit his first home run of the season in the fourth with Lennon on.

The game was played Saturday, June 27 at Pearl 'Harbor Marine Barracks' Quick Field.

In the 13-inning victory over the second place civilian Braves. Leo Gillis relieved starter Don Forth in the seventh to give up only two hits in the seven Innings he pitched and copped the win. lie struck out five batters, as had Furth earlier and gave up four free passes to run his record to 6-1 for the season. Furth had made his record 7-2 with his win Wednesday over Naval Air. The Braves led off with two runs

in the first inning when the first two batters to face Furth. John Oana and Ror Higa, singled and scored when Wally DuPont ground- ed out and Howard Bode singled after Furth had struck out Prank Gouveia.

Don Furth attempted to win his

own ball game in the second when he blasted out a circuit blow with Danny Wells on after Jack Lenn had walked and scored on Wells' double.

The Braves tied it up in the sixth as Joe Ayers singled to score Gou- veia who was on with a long double to the right field fence. They threatened to take the win in the top of the 12th as they loaded the bases on two walks, a sacrifice and a fielder's choice but Howard Bode popped out to Don Furth to retire the side and kill the threat.

Amin In the top of the 13th the Braves threatened as catcher Dick Nagamine blasted a long ball out to left center field and former All-American basketball player Dave Smalley backed up against the 355-foot sign and made a spec- tacular one-hand catch of what would have been the winning homer. Don Furth belted the clincher in

the home half of the 13th as he

singled to drive in pitcher Leo Gil- lis from second, who had got on on a fielder's choice.

The Marines now have a 26 win. 10 loss record against the second place SubPac Raiders with a 24-13

DICK NICKLIN

When July 24, 25 and 25 roll around the Hawaii Marine Swimming squad will be looking for their fourth straight victory in the All-Marine Swimming Championships at MCAS, El Toro, Calif.

The meet has been held only three years now and the Hawaii entries I have waltzed away with the titles each of those years to make them the swimmingest Marines in the world. This may be due to the fact that they have better weather all year 'round to practice in. Of course I wouldn't want my friends on the California Chamber of Commerce to hear me say that, but never-the-less it is a bit of the truth.

This year the squad will be only 17 members strong and they will have to do some tall swimming in order to make the grade.

Coaches Jim O'Conner and Ace Horstman have been rather handicapped this season by the fact that their team has not had the competitive action necessary to get in top shape for the All-Marine. This was caused by the Brigade being on the West Coast and by the time the team was formed all local schedules had been made up. As a result the only meet they have entered was the one last Friday at Hickam.

Hopes are not dimmed, though, because even with the short training period the team came out, with a win over Hickam 44-35 with the Leather- necks taking six first plate slots in the nine events run. This means that although the team may lack in depth it is made up of some good first place material and this is important in a swim meet. If you don't have the depth in the squad to pick up second, third and fourth places, it is essential to have the top material.

TOP PROSPECTS Checking the list of team members who are expected to show well at

FJ Toro, we can look for plenty of competition from the team captain, Piorin Wakinekono in the breast stroke and the 200-meter individual medley. Also a strong contender in the 200 medley will be R. K. Kapoo who placed second in the event at Hickam last week.

Dave Lawson is expected to give everybody trouble in the 100-meter butterfly swim and in the 1500-meter grueling free-style event. It takes a lot of stamina to stand up under this long test.

Three sprinters top the list for the Hawaii Marines in D. L. Merritt, Ray Phillips, who is a member also of the Hawaii Marine boxing squad and beat out Rocky Santiago for the All-Marine Championship this year. The third sprinter, Griffith Steine, is a Navyman who formerly was a member of the University of Washington swimming team.

TOP DIVERS This year the diving competitors will be called upon to perform 12 dives

in the All-Marine Championsehip events and the Hawaii Marines are counting heavily on Dick Griffith and L. L. Hunt.

I'm told the way the diving competition works is that all coaches get together before the event and pick a certain type of dive, either back, forward, tuck or pike and then the individual has his choice of the style of dive in that particular type.

Griffith won the 1959 Inter-Service high board championships this past year and should be in there at first place in the All-Marine.

INTRAMURAL MEET At Camp Smith this past week they had a hot intramural swim meet

at the station pool between Headquarters and Service Battalion end 1st ANGLICO.

ANGLICO waltzed away with the win by a 57 -20 score.

Fishing has been fair to good around the Air Station. The hottest spot right now seems to be the Navy pier where small schools of papio are chopping the small min- nows in and around the pilings of

the pier. Good catches are being made on light tackle and the fish are averaging three to seven pounds. Chrome jigs and spoons are the best lures to use.

Over the July 4th weekend there will be a fishing tournament from the Kewalo Basin. Large cash prizes will be awarded for the winners. For information call Kewalo Basin at 503-330.

Hot spot for this weekend will be the Navy pier in the early morning hours and the airfield. For information call 73233.

CHILDREN'S TOURNEY SCHEDULED

A "World's Championship'' Jun- ior golf tournament will be held for the tots and teenagers here Tues- day July 14. All of the youngsters who have been engaged In the children's golf classes will participate. Various flights which actually con- stitute age groups among the boys and the girls will be set up.

Trolling is still the hottest fishing around the island. Many mahl- mahi, ono and a few marin are being caught mostly in the Molokai channel. Mal. L. C. Ritter racked up a good catch of aku using a light spinning outfit and small lures.

It also looks as though a new world record yellow-fin tuna will be sub- mitted to the International Game Fishing Association. The fish weigh- ed 266)4, pounds, was 5114 inches in girth and six feet, 11,i inches long. It put up a tremendous battle as it took four hours and two minutes before it was finally gaffed and

History Repeated

Fourth Marines H

With 31-Year-Old History, tradition, and 12 infants

momentarily joined hands yesterday during a baby cup presentation by the 4th Marines.

in a unique custom that dates back over 31 years to Shanghai, each infant receives a personalized silver cup, a complete service record book and a modified enlistment oath which pledges honest and faithful service to the parents and the 4th Marines.

All the youngsters are recent additions to families of officers now serving with the regiment. "Dee-Dee" Shepherd, second son

of former Marine Corps Comman- dant, General Lemuel C. Shepherd, Jr., was the first infant to receive a cup and establish the ceremony. Capt. Wilson Eliot Driver Shephee, US:S1C, now serving at the Officers Basic School, Quantico, Va., was blessed with the odd 'nickname "DeeDee" by his Chinese amah (nurse). The name which means "little brother" in Chinese, still sticks.

Gen. Shepherd was a captain serving as adjutant of the 4th Marines in Shanghai when "Dee-Dee" was born on June 8, 1928.

During World War II the cup presentation faded from the scene and was reestablished in 1956 by Col. Brygthe D, Godbold, then commanding officer of the 4th Marines. The last cup presentations were made In March when 16 members of the "diaper set" were initiated into the exclusive

Mokapu School. In the twin quonset building a giant array of usable furniture, appliances and cloth/ig is on sale three days a wee"

Members of the Staff NCO Wives Club operate the Thrift Shop and serve as sales ladies under the chairmanship of Mrs. Kenneth Holt. All profits of the Thrift Shop are channeled oy the

onor 12 Infants Shanghai Custom group. With the new additions, the total now stands at 142.

In the latest ceremony, Mrs. John H. Masters, wife of the regimental commander, made the cup and record book presentations to the mothers and infants at the Officers Club. Maj. R. E. Hoskins acted as master of ceremonies.

Mothers accepting the cups on be- half of their infants were Dsdatts Robert A. rackel, Joseph E. Revell, Bain McClintock, Joshua W. Dorsey, Dicky A. Saye, Paul A, Wilson, Thomas C. Houston, Donald R. Sparks, John Smallman, Bruce D. Webb. John N. Webb, and Terry L. Eikenbery.

The service record book was added to the ceremony over two years ago and serves as a baby book to record the infants' progress and tours of duty at various posts and stations.

Mothers pledged the babies faith and allegiance to the "Old China" Regiment in an oath as follows:

"I do solemnly squall that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the 4th Marines (Reinforced or whatever they may be); that I will serve it faithfully against all other regi- ments whosoever; and that I will obey the orders of my mother and rather and the babysitters appointed over me, according to regulations Ind Doctor Benjamin Spock. And I do further scream that all state- ments made by me, as now given in his record, are relatively impossi-

ble."

Staff Wives into K-Bay charities. Merchandise for sale is obtained

from Marine families here who have no further use for certain items. Only usable items are accepted. Merchandise is received by the Thrift Shop as an outright donation or on a consignment basis.

When merchandise is accepted by the shop on a consignment basis, a 10 per cent commission is retained by the shop as its profit. To avoid items from remaining on the floor too long, a 10 per cent reduction is marked on the price tag at 30-day intervals. If an item on consignment remains unsold for a period of six months, it automatically be- comes the property of the Thrift Shop and may be disposed of by the most profitable method. A seller may reclaim his merchandise prior to this deadline.

Typical of the furniture carried by the shop are chairs, bedding,
