A government either can be a sel"Vant of the peopk. 01 then· master. ~ur govci:nrnent, set up under a definiti\·e yet flexible Constitution, is

de.signed primarily to s~rve us, not rule us. The roots of this concept go back to the intolerable conditions encount

ered by the American colonists as subjects to the Kmg of England. These were the patriots who proclaimed, in the Declaration of Inde

pendence, the self-evident truths that "all men arc created equal, that they are endowed b~ their Creator with certain inalienable rights. that among these arc lifr, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ... "

They weren't against government, as such. Their dedication to the lreedom and dignity of man was blended with the political wisdom that

said: " ... to sc rur<> the ·e nght , governmc nt~ arc instituted among men . And h e re the) iru.erted the bone, the m lbele, the blood, the breath

of life, into the concept of the government they envjsioned Uut would the reafte r g jve hope to freedom-longing people everywhere:

". . . government they wrote in measured wordi, denving their

just powers from the consent of the governed ... " The Founding Fathers built upon this foundation our constitutional

government dcsignc·d to serve the people. Under it, Americans have th<! right to the services of government as

a protector and referee . .But we rPtain the freedom from arbitrary government icgulation and

an instrument in the Constitution to accommodate th e ch anging role we

Chaplain Casey's fnthC'r and mother operate n dry goods store in Mllc..hdstown with llw help of the Chaplain's sister. His other sister 1s u stewardess for In h Airlines.

Chaplain Casey was ordained at St. Patrick's Colll gc at Carlow in June of 1957 St Patriek's semma1y \\as founded m l 'i89 when the need arose for priests to accompany Irish immigrants to America.

Th•. Father's curriculum and tram mg \\as princ1pully designed to prepare him for duty in the United State:;. St. Patrick's is the only one of the many semmnries m Ireland that specializes m trammg priests for duty m the U.S. Prior to when the Father's class of 30 graduated, the Chaplain recalls that many pnests \\'ere recruited by American bishcps in a s1m1lar way in '' hich football players arc rccru1 ted for United States colleges.

Upon gracluat1on, Father Casc>y found a map of the U S , scrullnizcd it carefully, and chose Louisiana for duty. The Father's first

m1mstery was al St. Rita's Church and lloly Rosary Church m the Diocc c of J\lcxandria. lie c..i.me to the Unit••d States aboard thl' English liner l\taralnnia, in 1!157.

Jn August of 1964, Chaplain Casey Joined the Nu\'y, was cC1mmissioned LT JG in the Chaplain Corps and sent lo Chnplam's School at Newporl, R I for eight weeks.

The NNMC Catholic chapel 1s the first duty assignment for the Father, who complements the department after the departure of Fathl'r R Brengartner ordered to Rota, Spam last November for duty.

Mr. G. John Marconi, Acl·ounttng Technician, Fiscal and Suppl:. Department, received a $215 cash award recently .for his suggc•stion for improving the processing of Accrual Accounting. Under the old '\,tern it required approx1matelv

700 man hours to perform thes~ fu.nctions. Mr. Murconi's ! ui; ~~st10n will save the Government apprnximately 672 man hours J)l'r vc·u·. Not only will this system sen•c• as a great time and money sovcr for the ~rst phas~· of the arrnunting functions, but it can also be applied to other s teps of the arcountinp procedures.

Should You Really Execute A Will? By R \V Andre, ADJC

NORFOLK,Va.-(NAVNEWS) . Some- people fail to executt.' a while others, al one lime or another, have good intentions but la1J carry them out. Only a few are ready for the unexpected. The b.. • information reflects what may happen if you do not leave a \\;IJ·,

1. Your family may find itself unnecessarily im·olved m certam procedures.

2. Your knowledge of the property you own and your advice its disposition cannot be passed on Cor it dies with you. .

3. You lose the privilege of naming your executor and this ma} costly loss.

4 You lose the privilege, afforded by laws m most state;, of nan:..~ gu~rdian for your minor children. This is vital, particularly if your should not survive you. . .

5. In some instances, if there is no immediate family, your failw leave a will may result in the passage of your property to perso whom you have no particular interest; or even m its escheat (trans to the state.

6. Settling your estate is lik!.'ly to be more complicated and may P

more costly. d · h 'tan t 7. You Jose the opportunity to minimize estate.an m ea ce

This can often be done by a planned will. . . In contrast, a will gi\•es you the ad\•antagl' of spec1fymg: To whom vour property should go. When it should go. In w.hat amo

it should go How it should be safeguarded. By whom 1t should

handled. l'fi d om THE EXECUTOR The executor is a person or qua 1 e c

udiciary 1 bank or trust company) you name in your will to J oui estate after you have gone. Choose your executor rar~fully ~n the ·basis of friendship or 1 el<itionship alone, but on the basis of petence and ab1hty to handle money matters. . h t

REMEMBER If you die and leave ~o \\'tll, Y~U are :a•d ~ a;111 "intestate" In effect. the state m. which you ~vc.l~~ke:/ ;:vis1 r.

dancing .... " Spring is just around the corner; March has entered lionfashion; exits like a lamb (we hope, at this writing!). All these thmgs should combine to make NNMC's first dance of the year a great success. We don't promise a bacchanalia, but the rites of Spring are strong in us all.

The staff and s tudent dance, to be held Saturday, Mar 27, will be a highlight for your month's social calendar. As usual, a great and varied quantity of delectables will be furnished, and refreshments in abundance will be available Two bands are scheduled to provide continuous music from 2000 to 2400 As m the past, the dress is service dress blue, or civilian attire (coal and he). Door prizes will be ;iwarded.

- RouERT Fnu::- r

The people in the Outpatient Service ha,·e created a more efficient function by the destruction of wall. What they actually did was to open communications ,between two departments which were "miles apart'', yet. really, "next door to each other.''

The Staff and the \\'alk-in Clinics are the two principles in this case. The only thing separating them, was a thin wall, yet the two clinics shared many things in common, such as the type of service furnished the sharing of assigned working personnel, the same supply and material requirements. Their differences were main! workload considerations. The one had a fairly constant flow of patients to be seen, while the other had daily high points of business with tapering periods in between'. Because of the nature of the Staff Clinic's service, a wa\"e was required to be on duty for female physicials, but, during the slow periods, her services were lost. as were the services of the attending corpsman. Added to this the Staff Clinic Medical Officer often found himself, on the one hand, with people overflowing the room, and on the other,. with nobody waiting. '' lule h.1s neighbor had many waiting patients.

We do not know 11 the officials of t~e Outpatient Sen ice had re\•1ewed Robert Frost's ··~Iendi Wall" befon· they came 'to th~~

decision to connect the departments by "want (ing) it down", (1t being the wall which separated them.) But their decision made for a better communication between the two and allowed for more c:fficicnt utilization of personnel with a mutual "sharing" of work load. Of course. the final analysis of any move of this sort is "what has it done to the service provided?" It is e\·ident that the results as in this case. could be nothing but "for the better".

. Another recent i;;,ffi iency accomplishment of thL S vice was the establishment ot " G o>neral Practice Clinic, which will see patients referred to them by the Walk-in Clinic for sustallled treatment not requinng hospitalization. In this way, a patient returning for second and third treatments will not ha~·~ to go through the '''alk-in Chmc procedure each and every tune . • Consequently. th~ \\'alk-m Chmc s work load will be red d uce •

Neither 1s adequate to cope wllh the challenges of today's complex soc1et1es, nor lo resolve the problems generated by our scieni1fic and technological advancements.

Insofar as our Junior and senior high school schedules are concerned. we' find that the students arc on :,chool vacation a total of 14 weeks per year In addition, a full cightw1eeks is de,·otcd each September and October to re\'1cwing the subject matter of the pre,·ious school year before any new subject matter may be introduced. Thus, O\'CI 40'< of the y~ar is wasted.

I believe that the school day of Junior and si:nior high school students should be extended lo a full eight hours, but that no home ussignments be given. The addl'd time should be u~ed to tram the students on how to study, and to introduce, with added detail, the arts and sciences

Bett) Edmunds, Administ rative Division, NNJ.\IC-It u ouldn t l'lurt to lengthen the school day one hour. In most cases it would help the children. But let the school term stay as it is.

The summer vacallon period m Montgomery County is short in comparison with the rest of the country. I feel that children grow physically, mentally and sufficiently mature during summer \'acallon to justify its present length.

most colorful languages JJl the world today 1s the language of the sea. Not only is the language of the sea colorful but it is filled with tradition, some of the words have been in use for hundreds of year.s. Although many Anglo-Saxon and old English words are used at sea today, many other terms were givc:n English shape and sound after being borrowed from Foreign sources.

}\or instance the word "Chit'" in the Navy it takes a "Chit" for e\'erything you want done or anything you want to do. It was derived from the Hindu word Chith meaning letter, note, bill. voucher or receipt The derh'itive has wide use throughout the British Army and Navy as well as the U.S Navy.

Another nautical term is the "Charlie Noble". a sailor's term for the galley smoke pipe Derh·ed from the British Merchant Service, Captain Charlie Noble, who alv. ays required a high polish on the galley runnel. The funnel of his galley was of copper and its brightness became known in all ports he \'tsJtc>d Many an innocent young sailor has spent much time searching the ship for "Charlie Noble".

Tissue Bank Sends Precious Skin To Badly Burned Boy

The NMS Tissue Bank Department recently took part in an effort to save the hfc of a badly burned eleven-year-old boy in Ban, Italy

The boy, Franco Tr1one received se11ere burns on more than 40 percent of his body last November m an electncal fire at his home m Trani, a small town about 25 miles northwest of Ban. The boy's phys1c1an, Professor Vittorio Consiglio, appealed to the Naval Hospital m Naples on Apnl 7 requesting help m obtaining five square !t:el of specially processed human skm Previous efforts to graft skm from other parts of Franco's bodv had failed.

The Sen10r Medical Officer at the hospital, Captain Richard J Lawrence of Boston. Mass., immediately informed the U S Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland-the onl) source in the world of lyoph1hzed or freeze dried skm The skm was promptIv processed and made ready for commercial u1r shipment lo Italy.

Upon arrival in Naples on April 13, the precious cargo was immediately loaded aboard a waiting Na,·y helicopter for a direct flight lo Andna, near Trani, where F'ranco has been hosp1tahzed since the accident.

The helicopter encountered bad weather during the flight and was forced to return to Naples

The cargo was then transferred to a C-1170 Transport plane from the US Naval Air Facility, Naplt?s for the fhght to Ban

Fir t Hail, Far ~\\'ell Planned For Jun ~ 9

Chaplain's Column

"Unconditional Surrender" by Chaplain E. Hoke Cam}>bell, Jr.

During his victorious campaigns in the War between th s U.S. Grant made famous his demand for unconditional s:n St. Mark's a~count of Jesus.ca_lhng his disciples depicts J~us ~ with authority and the disciples responding unconditionally t conditional surrender has always been God's demand upon m~

God wants unconditional surrender of your ·mind. The lilinrl, • intellect. is far to~ ~omplex and powerful to be lent to selfish ll1G . and desires. Christianity presents a compelling and provocative cll lenge to our minds. There is much to contemplate, to mull over • mediate upon. God wants our minds, our condit1ona1 int~ assent.

The heart also must be uncond1l!onally surrendered. Chri.slla!i is a warm faith, filled with emotion Pure intellectual surrender al:: would soon become a barren wasteland. The hear.t of a man ~ by God's grace and surrenderd to God's purposes gives a SC()pe dimension to his life that otherwise would not exist.

And your will. Your will definitely must be unconditionally rendered. All too often we understand and assent intellectually,· warmed and moved emotionally, but refuse to operate outside o! own wishes and desires. Our will is the activist part of our h\'es act: out what is meaningful and real to us. It is the proving grolU)j

what we profess to believe. God wants our will for his own sa he can direct our hves in paths he would have us 1.1.-alk.

In actuality God calls for the uncond1t1onal surrender of our lives, everything that we are and have, and nothink less than un dihonal surrender 1s satisfying, either to oursel.ves or to God.

CDR H. D. Baldridge, MSC, USN, ot NMRl's Physical Biochemistry Division is a member of the Shark Research Panel of the American Institute of Biolog1cal Sciences IL<; program is aimed at the development of better means ot protecting naval personnel from unprovoked shark attack and the utilization o! sharks as laboratory animals for the study of basic physiological processes. This program is sponsored by the Biology Branch of the Office of Naval Research

Sharks are of special and vaned significance to men of the sea When viewed from the safety of the deck of a ship, a shark is a beautiful arumal, perfectly eqwpped for the predatory role assigned to it by nature To the helpless survivor o! a sea disaster cast adrift on the ocean, the beauty in the eyes of the secure shipboard beholder can become a vision of horror. The researcher, on the other hand, sees the shark as an extremely mterestmg animal, equipped with many and varied means for accurately gathering and utllizmg mformation from its environment in its search for prey.

Dr. Baldridge is collaborating with Dr. Perry Gilbert of Cornell University, Chairman of the Shark Research Panel. Their research is currently concerned with a phase of the program deahng with the study of chemical shark repellents and the development of means of testmg potential repellents on dangerous species of sharks. This research recently took them to th.? Lerner Marine Laboratory on the island of Bimini m the Bahamas. Here they tested various chemicals for sharks repellent activity on large captive lemon and dusky sharks. They measured the force which is exerted by a large shark in closing its jaws under attack oondihons. Underwater observations as well as close-up movies are possible through the use of the shark cage Through these studies the feeding habits and attack patterns are being examined along with the shark's reaction to chemical and physical stimuli in an ellort to provide a basis for the control of predaceous shark activity.

Correspondence Training Division Receives Letter of Commendation

The Commanding Officer takes pleasure in presenting this letter of commendation to the staff of the Correspondence Training D1-v1sion, Academic Department, of this command tor its outslandmg performance of duty from 14 July 1964 to 21 April 1965

During this period the Correspondence Training Division has completely rewritten 13 correspondence courses and made minor revisions to four other courses. In addition, this division has rewritten or revised some 7,500 test items, reorganized and consolidated its physical facihties, thus providing the Naval School of Hospital Administration with an additional 644 square feet of floor space, to be used for expansion of that school's library, and has eliminated a civilian house-

keeping function saving c.pprox1-mately $800 annually

Such commendatory performance by the Correspondence Training Division reflects great credit upon its Division Head and each member of his enthusiastic and 1:.fficient crew The net result of your efforts 1s demonstrated by the more effective performance in the field by men trained through these new programs.

I wish to take this opportunity to offer the entire staff of the Correspondence Training Division my personal "WELL DONE."

A copy of this commendation will be made a part of the official records of each member of the Correspondence Training D{\rk.ion

Captain J. H. Stover, Jr., MC, USN, Commanding Officer, Naval Medical School

We are totally cerned about our "pr~sent" future, but the" real future, etem11y bottomless well, the hd of which most of us hesitate to pick up 0~ fear of what might be d1scovert!d beneath.

God has placed in each one of us the noble faculties of mteUect will. With these faculties we are separated fro!ll all the rest of creat In efTect we are spirit as well as animal.

Most of the problems of life can be solved only in the light of · I truth that our final resting place is with God. Few if any reach ~ plete fulfillment on this earth. Constant inequity, failure to r~ a time and place to be resolved. • l

Dental Clinic 1/ odern izing

Members or the Navy Dental Corps throughout the world will celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the Dental Corps on Aug 22

Smee its formation m 19l2 th . d • ere m eed, have been many changes m both facilities and techniques used by the Dental CorP_s. "T~e day of the stand up dentist, sit down patient, and ~u1pment crowded dental office is on the way out," according to the former CO or the Naval Dental School, NNMC, Bethesda, Md

In order to keep pace with a fast moving revolution in dental office design and procedure, the Nava_! Dental Corps, 1s expenmentmg with a couch and chair design which also contains all the appropriate dental equipment. According to CAPT. A. R Frechette, the new couch and chair design, permits the patient to recline and the dentist to sit. This smgle piece of dental furniture may soon be recommended by the Navy for service-wide use

Present Navy dental equipment is based on a design approx1ma tely 24 years old The new contour shaped couch is said to be more comfortable than a bed, and pahents have been known to fall asleep while undergoing treatments.

The high-speed air turbine dnll, with a speed of 250,000 rpm, compared to the 9,000 rpm of several years ago, contributes to this added patient comfort. Because the high-speed drill requires a water spray collent, direct vision into the patient's mouth is necessary and this increase.s the importance of the rechnmg position.

One mode1 n dental operating room will be set up for each six dental specialties at the Naval Dental School within the current fiscal year During Fiscal Year 1966, a four 01 six chair clinic with central st<.>rlizmg service will be introduced.

Speak Up for Service Life; It's a Proud Profession!

When ever you wear your uniform, you are tacitly telling all who i;ec you that you are capable o! defending your country against all enemies. Through basic and advanced training you have been tnught necessary !undamcntuls of the military profession In short, you arc a symbol of America's defense forces.

But IS being a symbol enough., How do you react with your buddies when conversation turns to the pros and cons o! military life? Are you ready to defend verbally your position as a member of the armed

forces? It doesn't matter whether you're in the service for two years or 20-

raght now, while you're m uniform, the service is your cnrccr Therefore, it's worth nil your enthusiasm and support.

Some may believe the old adage, "Silence is golden," should npply when a fellow scrv1ct>man begins knocking the outfit. This 1s definitely not the case. By 1cma1mng quiet, you lose the argument by dc!uult. You are, in effect, telhng others listening to this disparagement thnt you have nothing to offer to contradict 1t.

Evt?n m branches of the scrvicP where voluntary enlistments nn• the only means of adm1ss1on, there will always be tht! usual one with three or four years to s1~rvc who spends half his time b1•littling men who reenlist. He chides them about inability to "mukc it" on the outside. He alway::; gives th1• impression that he hns a job awaiting In the civilian world thllt only he ls quuli!lcd tor You may know this is not true; that a "knockn'' has no more education or other special qunllflcntions !or a job than any of his contemporaries.

But 1f you "dam up" wht•n guys like this start downgrading your JOb, then you're little better !hi.in your antagonist

So next time till' discussion swings nround to the wuy you corn your livehhood, try talking 1t up. Let the others know why you nre proud to be o member o! one of the largest o.nd mo t clflcwnt on:nn1zntionB In th1• world Rl!mmd them o! the importance of your work. They'll find it h._.rd to dispute you. After nil, what you'n· domg in unJform assures tho "knocker" of his freedoms when he lt~uve.s service.

SPEAKINGoF SPORTS Tournament Time

by B. L . Wilcox

The NNMC All-Stars traveled to the NDW Softball Tournament at Patuxent River Maryland, on August 18, 19 and 20th.

The All-Stars were made up of players from the intramural teams here at the Center. The team was comprised of Bob Rogers, Mauro Vera, Bill Sellers James Browning, Thomas Maddox, Ray Durbm, John Hinkley Derrel Welch, Clarence Leach, James Gibson and Robert Cory and coached by Bill Dwyer, Athletic Director ·

The first game they were pitted against the Naval Station, Washington. This game was the type you hear and read about, but seldom see, with neither team scoring or making an error, until the bottom of the 7th.

Hinkley went to 1st on a passed ball and stole 2nd. Vera rapped a sohd hit to center with Hinkley streaking from home to score the winning run standing up, taking a 1-0 victory.

Rogers gave up 3 hits, 1 walk and struck out 12 Vera, Welch and Leach recorded the only hits for the All-Stars The team made no errors. It was team effort all the way

The second game was against the Naval Air Station, Patu.xent River. Patuxent River is regarded as the top military team m the Washington Area, having recently won the Washington Area Military Athletic Conference Championship.

Gibson started the inning with a single and Vera sent him home with a sharp hit to center In the bottom of the first, the Pax River leadoff batter took a liking to Rogers' first pitch of the game and put it over a 241-ft. fence for a homerun.

The score stayed 1-1 until the bottom of the fifth when Pax scored 3 runs on a single, a walk, a double and an error .

The All-Stars bounced back m the top of the 6th with 3 runs of the.ir own A double and 3 singles by Gibson, Durbin, Vera and Welch m that order was the cause. But it was all m vain as Pax scored the winning run m the bottom ot the 7th to win it 5-4.

The big sticks for the All-Stars were Gibson, 3 for 4, and Vera, 2 for 3 Rogers allowed 4 hits, 1 walk and struck out 6. . ' .

The United Nations \'as created in the aftermath of \\ orld War II to formulate a means of healing the world and to eliminate the possibility of another such holocaust.

In its peacekeeping role. it has acted time and again as mediator and firm guardian o! peace. In Afnca, in Asia, in the Middle East, the tr.N' has mtcrvened \\'1th persuasion when possible, with fore( of arms when necessary, lo prevent minor conflicts that might have grown to threaten the security of the world.

In its role as an agent of world prosperity, 1t has fosler<'d cooperation between nations. \V1thout that cooperation, there• \\ould be no international progress.

It would be impossible, for instance. to explore outer space 1f it were not !or mternahonal agreements to govern th<' ust• of radio frcqucncH."S. \\'cathcr information is exchanged under the auspices of th<.> w,,rld Meteorological Organi7.ahon, usmg the facilities and salt•lliles of all mdustriahzed nations. The Umt<?d States. Mexico, Israel and tht· So 1et Union arc cooperating in studies on the use of nucl<.>ar power eactors in desalling s<'a water.

The Unih.'d States has always been on<.> of the strongest supP<>rlcrs o! the UN and its undertakings. As Americans and as membe1:- of ou_r country's mihtarv forces, it 1s our duty to understand what the UN is and what H stands for, and lo support il in whatever way we can.

Our peace and prosperity is interwoven with the peace and prospcrit) o! the world, and our. nation"s freedom 1s secure onl) as long as the !nedom of the world is secure C \.FPS>

ln less than an hour newsmen clamored at the front door for health reports, telephone lines, writing space and photographs.

A dozen reporters were outside the door before the Secret Service had set up secur1t} measures. \t 4:45 a.m. the !lrst wave o! the press was allowed Inside the hospital .ind less than an hour later all three maJor television networks had set up. ·

Admiral Recalls An FDR Decision

A cabbage patch, a bubbling pool and a tiny st re a m-- and in the mind of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a massive monument to healing.

•V. e will build It here,• declared the President.

II was 27 years ago on July '5 when Roosevelt tapped his cane as he leaned from his automobile at the site of what is today the National :'.'laval ~tedlcal Center.

The President's car was in a cabbage patch of a run-down ta1 rn near Bethesda, according to recollections by Rear \dm. Lucius w. Johnson.

•From thl.!> s light elevation could be seen the green fields sloping down toward the Rockv llle Pike 300 teet away," wrotP Johnson of the historic moment. • ·\ half mile s tretch ot the road could be seen, and beyond It lay the carefully landscaped grounds of the Public Health Service, also , 1 neighboring estate."

'I Relieve You; Sir' The "ship 11 changed hands in August. And With all the spit and polish the Navy could muster, the ceremony was a grand one.

Palm trees moved into th!.' gym ltselt, while basketball go a 1 s moved up -- suspended above the ritual of change.

Advancing to the lecturn \\1th scabbards at their sides were official members of the ceremony: Adm. c. L. Andrews, commander of the Nat Ion al Naval l'\led1cal Center; Adm.

It may be a s i1eable task, but the special services depart-1ncnt ot the National Naval Medical Center covers the watertr-.:it tor tho thousands of m111-tary -- retired and active -who come to the renown center.

From bowling to basketball, from d.tnces lo Easter services, the department works hard at pla \ 1ng :ind planning.

With flve tennl.s courts, It boasts a •varsity• tennis team.

A softball diamond attracts eight teams and, drawn from them, an all - star nine. Its basketball court -- which is dressed In palm trees and brass for change-of-command ceremonies -- ls used by nine teams.

Ten golf teams join the many individual enthusiasts on the nine-hole golf course. There were 31000 golters during June. Major problem confronting the golfers is the dltflcult shot at Lake Eleanor -- the s ma 11 artlftclal lake led by natural springs below the tower which

·was named tor Mrs. Roosevelt.

,\ four - lane bowling alley has 15 winter teams and a varsity team.

And one of the leading features of the grounds ls the Stone Lake recreation area.

The artificial lake-named 1n honor of Rear Adm. R. O. Stone, former commanding officer of NNr.IC--was recently drained and returnlshed with fish and ls used for wading and boating.

An :i.djacent recreation area has picnic tables, barbecue pits, benches and a .shelter house. It Is tucked into the wooded area between the center buildings and the Capital Beltway, and provides a scenic spot for annual Easter Sunrise Services sponsored jointly b)( ~e Bethesda Council of Churches and the National Naval Medical Center __ a service that orlgJnated in 1947 in the tower but moved to the •wooded cathedral.•

Chaplain William W. Parkinson

Easter points m the sweep of history to the trium~h~nt procession of the Christian faith. It marks forever the C:hn~t1a!11dea as a movement in history and not just a c1 eed,_ an mst1tut.1on <;>r a church. Truly, the Christian gospel fin~s. its ex_pr~ss1on m creed and through organLtations. Howe,·e.r, 1t 1s n.ot limited, C?~tamed or defined by them At Easter time the tnumphant .spmt or Jesus Christ burst all the bonds with which men had tried to control it. It eluded all opposition. It reiused to be stopped or localized. It began flowing as a mighty, life-giving streak along the higlrnrays of history. Although its leaders wcr~ stoned, burned, and ostracized, its prog1 am challenged by armies a~d by empires, nothing could stop the steady, triumphal procession of. the e\'er-expanding host of those who sang the praises of the Risen Christ. Within two hundred years the gospel found its way into e\'ery city of Europe. Then it was proclaimed as the religion of the civilized world.

Then came the barbarian hordes and darkness fell on Europe for centuries. Rome fell, but the Christ was alive. In the l\Ionaste1·ies the learning and light of the past was kept alive. Then came the Renaissance and the Reformation, the Indush ial Revolut10n, and the rise of the democratic idea. The Christian leaders emphasized the dignit~· of man-the brotherhood of man. The social gospel put conscience into our modern industrial world.

Easter comes again this 1965 with the world still troubled in Vietnam, Cuba, Berlin, and here at home. But it is no time for despair We arc part of a great tradition. and a glorious company tl~at ~nows n~ end. Eas_ter tells us agam that Christianity survives its enemies, adapts itself to changing times and moYes on to conquest. '

Burt Wilson , RN, Fiscal and SupPIJ Depa rtment, NN)IC-Be\ ond anv doubt, I !eel th 1t the. Chicago White Sox will be the team to make it. Their great pitching staff and ability to win those "close ones," plus a few good hitters who come through when they're needed most, will enable them to beat out those perenial winners, the Yankees. Let's face it' The Yankees just barely made it last year, with a bw1ch of aging \'eterans. The 'White Sox have young, talenlecl players, who, I feel, will just win

more games than the Yankees. In the senior circuit, the National

League, it will be rough goin~ be tween the Phillies, who haYc ~oocl players with "rotten" supp,,rt from the homcfolks. and the St Louis Cardinals. who pro\·ed then worth last season with some fresh young stars and good. seasoned veterans plus some great support Crom thei~ fans at Busch Stadium.

P er ::.onnel Office, NNl\IC-In m opinion, I behe;ve the N Y Y inkec>.'' will wm the American League and the St. Louis Cardinals will win the Nahonal League pennant.

The reasons for my selections

are· ( 1 > Both teams have a strong

club on the field and on the bench. (2) Both clubs are money clu~· and win when its necessary. (,, 1

Both clubs also have exper1enr1· ' p1 o~ who h::we been through the pressures of winning.

Your Educational Services

"Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity Educated men are as much superior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead. Education is the best prov1s1on !or old age."

LCDR Pursch, Writes Lead Article For Publication in Naval Aviation NEWS

LCDR Joseph Pursch, a Naval Hospital resident p sychiatrist and Flight Surgeon t!> referred to by Navy T;mes' as "a saw-bones scribe" and 'a buddmg Journalism genuis.'' His six articles published in the last year in Naval Aviation NEWS have been gaining local, nationwide and world

wide interest over the Doctor's talents.

His latest article, "The Making of A Flight Surgeon", appears as

the lead article in the April, 1965.

edition of Naval Aviation NEWS A forward to the article reads "This humorous article, written by

a Flight Surgeon, sheds some light

on the complex business of Flight Surgeon training."

The doctor's articl e is filled with fantastically funny antedotes a bout a young SF S <Student Flight Surgeon'!» civilia n Medical Scbcol training, hh int.ernshlp, his milita ry indoctrina tion days a t P ensa

cola, h is s tudies of Aviation Medicine, bis fly-b oy training and finally

his dep arture from the 'Cradle of Naval Avia tion". It is \\ r itten with both wit and r eason gained first hand.

ThE; article reads, "Professionally speaking, the Naval Flight Surgeon is a very specialized Doctor of Medicine . . . To transform the neighborhood practioncr into the scientific, philosophic, humane, aer

onautically-knowledgeable, mature, tee-totalling frolicking tiger of a

medical panacea for all flyers is the complicated task of the Naval Air Training Command and the School or Aviation at Pensacola, Florida."

Doctor Pursch follows and com. pares the hopes of either "the knobby-kneed farm boy who lifts a clear eyo toward contrails over Ncbrnsk.a" or "another who stares nears1ght~dly after the country doctor trudging up the farm house to attend a sick child."

The Doctor wntes, "V:llulc the rah rnh ltt,:l'r of the ·k· s ies tokes pnde m the Blue and Gold nn~ lofts pennies a l Tecumseh's cop. Pery nose at Annapolis the C t I • u \\r1.; icah.r 1s one o{ u d

In discussing s tudies of Aviation Medicine in just one of the many

next four months he studies avia

tion medicine. High Altitude Physiology, AAR's Ophthalmology, Avia

down and all the kids catching measles with diarrhea)."

Padre Wounded In Vietnam Battle ~ASHINGTON, D. C ••••

(NA v:-;EWS) ••• They call him the "Helt Padr<>" because he spends most or his tlm~ In helicopters, accompanying crews on airborne assault strikes or medu:al evacuations. He carrie<: a chaplain's kit on his lert hip, a corpsman's bag on his right beltllne, and those are his only weapons.

That's whr there was concern at M:irtne Aircraft Group (MAG-16) when Lieutenant Commander Hugh F. Lecky, CBC, USN, became the first Navy chaplain lo b<' wounded In action In Vietnam.

The Navy chaplain has been a tamlllar sight totheMAG-IGchopper crews since last Januar>. :\lore than 150 missions have t.aken off with the "Hell Parlre" aboard, and countless hundreds of U.S. :\tarinC!s anrl Republic o: Vietnam (,\Ry:-;) soldiers have been comrorted or treater! by him.

About one percent of the human population l.s lmmtme to dental de-cay. The other 99 percent may sutt.-r from Its :ittacks. With dental d lse:i"'e on the Increase ln thls counh 1, the National Naval M<"<llcal Center News In cooperation wtth the Dental Department presents a sE>rles of .lrtlcles on "Your Dental Health.• Tod.1y•s .11 tic le; llow to s ave }Our teethfromd1>ntaJ de<"ay.

• • • Most of thl' tissues of the body

can restore themselve or rm In 1pps rauo;ed by Injury, but tooth ttssu1•s cannot. A damaged tooth can never heal Itself.

That•s why dentists pince so murh stress on preve>ntlng dental disease -- stopping It before It stllTts.

Dental decay - - the eating away of the hard tissues of the teeth by acids In the> mouth- · occur, most frequently among ('hlldren and teen•ig.ers -- and can largely be prevented.

v. hat causes tooth decay? Dental s c ientists belJeve that

c~vttles are caused by chemical changes \lihlch take place ln our mouths as a r esult of bacteria acting on the food we eat. These sc ientists e>eplaln that our mouths crintaln billions of organism~, so sm.111 that they can onl} ht> s<>en with a mic roscope. Most of these microorganisms , .i.s they Jre called, are bacteria. As man} .15 5-l / 2 billion microorganisms may exist In a few drops ol saliva. Others cover our tongues. Still olhe r.s ('Oat the oral cavity.

Our tee th, too, are covered by a thin film of bac teria.

Man} of these bacteria are ap-

parently not harmtut, but some wlll produce varlo\13 acids which can dlssolvo some of the tooth P.nameL

At the same tlml!, the bre>alUng down process r1>lea.~es lacUc acid and other acids, strong enough to .attack .some tooth enamel. A harmful amowit of ucld can develop within five minutest Fortunately for our tPelh, saliva neutralizes acid.

Bul it the aclct Lo; produced In .1 tooth crevlcl' or pH where 1t mny tie prot<'Cted trom saliva, enough can :accumulate lo dlssolv!' some tooth structure.

'nee a hole h:is been made ln the enamel, the acids attack and destroy the softl'r dentin under -neath, and then attack the tooth n1>rvc. Ratmpant decay mean., loss of your teeth, It negle<:ted.

Hov. can decay be prevented'> The American Dental Associa

tion recommends a four-point program:

I. Brush your teeth right alter eatlng. H you can•t brush, rlnse your mouth vigorously with water, to wa.sh away food particles.

2. E.1t a proper diet. Cut down on the amount of sweets.

3. Hav<' regular checkups. With the use ot x-nys, lhe dentist can detect cavltles too small to he seen by the eye alone. He can ti.LI thes e before they get larger. He can also detect and correct other dental troubles wider the gums and In the supporting bone whJch may not yi>t be visible to the naked eye.

4. Drink nuorldated water. Fluoridation ls a tooth-strengthening procedure we'll talk about In later articles.

~avy Corpsman Aids Vietnamese

BU L.\11 VIETNAM. • .(NAV -. 1S) ••• He has no hospital or

clbk. Instead, he sets his medical llP In the middle of a dirt

red. Bui to residents of the small

fishing village by Ky Ha, he ls a form of help they•ve never had.

When Marine Aircraft Group (MAG)-36 moved in lo this sprawling air complex in September, HM2 BUI Louis, a corpsman with the GrouP's medical department, noticed that the adjacent hamlet had no medical .facilities whatever. So, he began visiting, often after standing an eight hour watch the night before.

His medications are modest -mostly adhesive bandages and advice -- but to the villagers, he's pracUcally as impbrtanl as a mayor. The old men and women and the youngsters have, in the past, considered medical assistance of any sort only when death was eminent.

Some day, Louis, who halls from East Woodbury, N. J., hopes that Ky Ha will have an established medical clinic. But, 1t may not happen today ••• or even tomorrow. Al night, Viet Cong snipers move Into the paddles surrounding Ky Ha, to shoot at the Marines.

Louis knows that the villagers 1ren•t going to pul up with It much longer. He realizes ll every time a child skJps down that dirt rOJ.d In the morning, holding onto a scraped knee or arm and crylnr the only English he or she knows: •Make, better, Doc.•

Marines Celebrate 190th

•Dog Is mans • best tr tend,• a true believer of this old saying Is Bob Phipps , HMJ, USNH Personnel Otllcc and John Boggess, Crews Library. Between the two of them, they own nine Dachshunds with a lltlor o! pups expected anyday. Bob owns seven o! the docs with the expertant mother among them.

John and Bob havc.> travcledhundreds ot mnes enlertng their dogs in dllferent dogs shows. Bob estimates thal he has shown in 100-150 s hows, traveling as far as HlcksvUle, N. Y. Bob has either won or placed In all shows he has parUclpaled In. Bonnie Lori Taurus Is the dog thal bas the hlghesl award of all the dogs Bob owns. Bonnie won Best o! Variety at the National Capitol Dog Show.

John has traveled all the way to Willlamsport, Pa., with bls dog Bonnie Lori Taurus Jr .(other-w lse known as Maxie). It was well worth the travel for John; old Maxie won 1st place. Maxie Is only ten months old and already has a collection of ribbons and prizes that \vould make any owner proud. The highest honor Maxie has won was Best ot Show al La Plata, Maryland.

Bob has been breeding and showing dogs since June 1960 and John began showing 1n 1961. There ls much more lo showing a dog than meets the eye. Their diets are carefully arranged and they are brushed dally and bathed at least once a year. Before a dog is ready to enter a ring the whiskers are clipped, ears and nails are cleaned and the eyes are checked. A dime is used to clean lhe teeth, lo mention just a few steps to ready the dog for a show.

Bob Phipps bas been nominated for Vice President of the Metropolitan Washington Dachshunds Club.

The first thing to consider ls wearing apparel. Don' t thJnk that ~ou have to put on a lot of clothes Just to play winter golf because "" you don' t. '

To start things oU, 1t you•re a bat wearer, wear a hat with a blll In the front. You'd be surprised how much wind that bill will save you from. Then for your chesty part, a llght sweater wlth a good wlndbreaker ls all you need. The sweater wUI provide enough / warmth for you while the windbreaker ls keeping the cold out. With just the light sweater and windbreaker, you have plenty of room In which to swtng.

From the hips down, a pair of wool or corduroy pants. Preferably corduroy, because you get just as much warmth with them as you do wlth the wool, without Itching. A pair ot rain pants ls quite the thing worn over an)' palr ol trousers instead of wearing two pair of pants. This wUI help give you better hip movemP.nt. Th~ most important and har<lest

thing to do while playing wlnter goU is trying to keep the hands w-c1.rm. Worry no more my fellow goUer•s. There's a little gadget on the m;.rket and has been tor quite some Ume, c.'llled the Hand warmer. It's 1\leltsusuallyltg:bter fluid. Jt can be carried in the pocket. And it's not very expensive. The hand warrner can be purchased Just about anywhere.

For those ot you wbo would rather not fool .sround with a band warmer, then the next best thing is winter golt glove>. These gloves are made otwool lining ""1th leather covering on the palm and fingers of the glove. You ~n play golf and still iet Uae benetlt ol warmth from a glove.

•Jpxt comt> the f<>et. The best way I've found to Hep the feet warm and dry ls to W('ar one JXtir of U~)lt socks under a pair ! h~vy 9referablY wool socks •.

0Tne nea~y sockS wlU ~oak up mort> dampness thus keeping the thinl"r socks dryer. n <-ml"mbPr UEAVY ON TOP LIGHT ON BOT ro.M. Another ~Y to k<>•·p lhOS" fe<>l a htUe> dryer and ..-a rm<'r ls while you'rl'! w.dldng-, walk with mos t ot your w<>lghl on your lwPlli . Thi l wUt help prevent anywa14"t s<.>epl.ng through thr. soles of your ho •s.

]:low that we know wh:it to wc.1r, Jet's think abOUl the care of OIJt equipment tlurlrlg cold, W"' wc:1th-

cr F lrst nf all, keep those clubs dry as pos Ible al a ll flmi>s . Aflcr oacb

shot, wipe those woods and Irons off good and dry. During cold wet weather, your woods lfnotkeptdry wW have more of a tendancy lo get water-Jogged and swell-up. This ls easily recognJzed by the face of the club bulging out more, especially the center of the face. The screws on the bottom of the club will come loose and fall out. So keep those woods dry at a ll times.

Of course your lrons won't sweU up, but 11 not wiped dry alter every sbol, they w111 have rust spots on them before you flnlsh 18 boles.

Before starting .1 round of golt you should lubricate your shoes with a leather lubricant. Thls s hould be done before and .after a round of golf. The best one that I've found has been called Shusaver. This wUl not only help protect your shoes, hut wlll also help keep your feet dry.

Let's ta lk about how lo hit shots during the winter months. First we must tako Into consideration a few bal'.ards so to speak. The weathqr c~aidllions wlll cause the air to be he:i.vler, the cold air wJll decr ease the volocity of tho ball. And your swlnr. fs reduced ·;omewbat t>ecauso of th<> cold we,\ther and pcs~lbly your w<>:i.rlng .tpparol.

Detense to review the entire r e tlremPnt structure. It is !rom this background that Title IV ot the Career Compensation Act of 1949, the DlsabllltySeparatlonSyslem, In general, and lhe Physical Evaluation Board, in particular, evolved.

The Physical Evaluatlon Board Is an admlnistratl ve tribunal created by the Secretary ot Navy to provide a forum In wl'llch the physical lltness ol members ot the naval service can be evaluated. Generally speaking the Commandant of each focal naval district in the United States has authority to convene a PEB. The Board representing Naval District Washington ls located In Bwldlng 13'7 NN'.:'>1C, and it handles a vast ma~ jorlt} o! cases Involving patients, pasl and present, ot the Naval Center . Its proxtmlty to the Hospital makes It convenient for both members and medical \\itnesses to attend Board dehberaUons. A hearing before the PEB is usually engendered by a medical board report (although this Is not the s-ole mPthod of referral) and this fact, ln Itself, places ~ signlflcant responslbllll} on the partlcipating doctors. Who should be recommended to appear beror"' the Board and whal informatto~ Is needed In order to make a complete report? To answer these

Endo Top Team In The First Half

Thi' haskethall 'Se.lsoo has been undcrwa y fo1 quite some timf' now.

Most people Utlnk that staff personnel stiould kno11. more than stur.lf'nts. This might be tru<> on lhc wards, but ask the N. P. staH about off the C'Ourts, and they'll probabh o;:hun away from you. It "cems as though llS

soon as the N.P. staff corpsmen get of( the ward and onto th• basketball rourts lh<'} soon flnd out that NCh prevall in his own field; as such wlU1 the N. P. students.

T w o games were played by those two teams during the first half and ach g-.i.me was won b} the N.P. students. One was by for:feit, but the other was won by a score or 38 - 22. So let's set back and watch to sec how they battle each other on the cour ts the second hall. 1 hope this doesn't bring the N.P. students school average down.

It wns tho Endo te:im though th ti showed the other departments ho"' to pl.1y basketball. I he to 1m consisted ot T. Barnes who wns high man the first half scoring 90 points. Barnes really pl 1ys a fast ball game. S(!con<I high man scorer for Endo was B. I. Ne::d, ho scored 79 points. rhlr<.I hii;h scorer ""as R. Romnnowlch, scored 60 points. T.H.
