U. S. MARINE CORPS AIR STATION, KANEOHE EAY, T. H. Friday, November 23, 1956

MOST MCAS UNITS GRADED EXCELLENT FOR INSPECTION

"Excellent" best summarized the results of the Administrative and Materiel inspection of the Air Station held here Monday and Tuesday. While a couple of departments received better and a couple received poorer ratings at the inspection critique Tuesday afternoon, the vast majority were in the excellent category.

Captain Milton A Nation, chief olserver for the Inspection and Commander. Naval Air Bases, 14th Naval District. concluded the criti- que with the comment that Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station is "oiler-

, ating generally at a very high stan- ding". He particularly noted the high morale.

Pointed out by Captain Nation was the continuing need for ad- ditional recreation facilities to meet the needs of the large number of personnel stationed here, specifi- cally the 1st Marine Brigade. More facilities are definitely included in present and future planning by the Air Station and the captain's remarks lent emphasis to the need.

`H' Co., 4th Marines, Donates I 32 Pints Of Blood In Past Four Months

uriof.c;c;a!;.1. -H" Rn 4+k Marines is gaining the reputa- tion of being THE blood donation company of the Brigade.

For the third time in four months ''H'' Company Marines last week volunteered to bolster the Queen's Hospital blood bank for a needy Patient.

volunteei and immediately had 90 Hanano Rossiter. son of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Rossiter, Honolulu, T.H. and cousin of Sgt. Ralph D. Alapal was in need of blood last Wednes- day when the call came to "H" Company for volunteers.

In short order 28 men said they would help and were trarported to Queens Hospital to aid the bo. suffering from leukemia.

Their first donation occurred last June when a sergeant in "H" Com- pany indicated that his father. in Queens Hospital. needed blood. buddies provided 14 pints.

Then in October Cpl. Michael Sa- larzione of -11- Company discovered that the mother of Mrs. Jenny Lu, Exchange cafeteria cashier. was in Queens and required blood trans- fusions nearly every day.

Cpl. Salamone informed his com- pany gunnery sergeant TSgt. Mar- tin M. Murray, who again asked for

takers. The unique part of "H" Com-

pany's blood donations is that in every case their unselfish gesture was for someone they didn't know.

Official, Personal Mail Must Carry Ccrrect Addresses

Addresses on both official and personal mail processed through the Brigade Post Office indicate that some organizations and personnel are still using 1st Provisional Ma- rine Air-Ground Task Force as part of their address. This is the subject of Brigade Bulletin 2740 of Nov. 1.

Hereafter. reads the bulletin, the Fleet Post Office will return all mail which is so addressed, to the sender.

MOKAPU YIELDS MORE BONES The remains of what is believed

to be old Hawaiians returned Nov. 2 to haunt the present oc- cupants of Mokapu peninsula. Found in the area bordering Kai- lua Bay were human bones of un- known origin

A grenade range. being construc- ted by members of H Co.. 3rd Bn.. 4th Marines. yielded two skulls, and assorted disconnected bones The area in which they were found is near the present flame-thrower range.

What was known formerly as Kaluapuhi fishpond st.2.nds nearby. and in the immediate area. are ruins of native salt works .visible from time to time. when watt.' in the pond is low.

The skulls appeared to have had a lengthy rest in the sandy soil in

which they were discovered. They were minus teeth. and portions of the cranium were deteriorated. A working party led by SSgt. Stan- ley Riffle uncovered them. Sifting and digging through more of the sand revealed no further bones.

As was common with Hawaiian burials in sand dunes. the remains of the skeletons were found at the comparatively shallow depth of two feet. Skeletons found in the sand dunes at Heleloa beach which is the strip betwem Pyramid Rock and Ulupau Head, were buried at the same depth.

Burial sites along the beaches of j

the Hawaiian Islands are not un- common. according to Dr. Kenneth P Emory. Bishop Museum Ethno- logist. Skeletons can be found in sand dunes throughout the Hawai- ian chain of islands

Althou',h over 300 skeletons have been unearthed from the Heleloa sand dunes. the discovery of bones in the flame-thrower site is the first. When LT1upau Head Fort Hase I was transformed into a vol- canic fortress. skeletons were re- ported to be found at the rim of the extinct crater.

Honolulu authorities disclaimed any interest in the bones found by H Company. and they wound up in the K -Bay dispensary. until the Bishop Museum expressed an In- terest in iclairning them.

The bones were delivered to Dr. Charles E. Snow. physical anthro- pologist from the University of I

Kentucky. who is working in con- junction with the Bishop Museum in study of skeletons discovered on Mokapu.

George P. Koch. USN. District In- spector and chief inspector for this a nnual event.

Wednesday morning. the oper- ational readiness of the Station was inspected as the concluding phase of the over-all evaluation.

This aspect of the inspection con- sisted of a command poet exercle.e Operation of both Command Cen- ters and all observation sectors was tested. Results were not known at press time.

Closing the critique Tuesday. Col. Jack R. Cram. Commanding Of- ficer of the Air Station. thanked Captain Nation and the inspectors for their thoroughness and coop- erative attitude. noting that it is through learning of our operations as others see them that were are able to effect improvement.

This inspection is conducted an- nually at K -Bay by a station with- in the 14th Naval District. In turn. the Air Station inspects other 14th ND stations.

COMMISSARY CLOSED

The MCAS Commissary will be closed for inventory next Friday, Nov. 30.

Editor's Corner Mahalo To A Few!

The current issue of the WINDWARD MARINE carries the final Rimit.iiestallment of MOKAPU, A STUDY OF THE LAND. The feature has

appeared for the past eleven weeks. Approximately one entire month was spent in research at the Bishop

Museum; Tax Map Office; Land Commission; Library of Hawaii; per- using multitudinous texts, and interviewing authorities on Hawaiiana.

The grateful thanks of the author are extended to Mr. Bryan, Mrs. 140410.1"14- tc omb, and Dr. Emory of the Bishop Museum staff for the major

portion of the material; Willie Whittle, Outrigger Canoe Club, for some of the history of Heleloa beach; Mr. Tom Aana, Honolulu Tax

Map Office, for land records; Mr. Henry Kekahuna, expert of Hawai- iana, who has worked independently with the Bishop Museum and the Hawaii National Parks in the identification and restoration of historical sites, for general information; Mr. George Manuia Galbriath, an Ha- waiian, who has lived on the Windward side for most of his 96 years, and who supplied helpful material on Mokapu. and to the host of people contacted via telephone.

What has been run the past eleven weeks is an effort to break through the barrier of incomplete information on Mokapu. There are numerous tales of Mokapu circulating, some true, some legendary, and others the product of a fanciful imagination. Practically all are most interesting. The lack of a wririen idnywaye wi-k the cf Hawaii shields from the modern world what is probably an exciting and colorful history. We'll never know.

As the history of Mokapu of old is laid to rest, a colorful history continues to be recorded of Mokapu in the atomic age. The great out- rigger canoes have given way to modern implements of warfare . .

the helicopter, jet propulsion aircraft. The crudely-fashioned spear is replaced by the fire-power of 105 Fe;11;meter howitzers.

We think that the history of Mokapu 100 years from now will be enjoyed as much as it is presently and back to the time when Wakea, The Sky Father, and Papa, the Earth Mother, populated the Isles now known as "The Paradise of the Pacific."

Webster defines apathy as a lack of feeling. Any company com- mander or division officer will tell you it's a disease, both mental and physical, that strikes hard at the Armed Forces, particularly in peace- time

No sick bays or station hospitals set aside beds for the apathetic, although the disease is as communicable as influenza. There is no in- jection to take, no fever to sweat out.

Ifs cure depends entirely upon the individual. If allowed to go un- checked, it corrodes a country's wall of defense.

/Apathy hits hardest at short-timers. The man with three months left ;r service is apt to lose interest in his work. He becomes a time-killer. His disinterest spreads to his co-workers.

The apathetic clan suggests nothing. He plays it safe. He never takes the initiative. His brain has fallen into disuse and is of as much

service to him as his appendix. The serviceman who has stopped thinking is of no use to himself,

his co-workers, his service or his country. He is picking his Uncle Sam's

pockets. (AFPS)

SUMMATION AND CONCLUSION-PART III

The sand dunes of Heleloa was the burial site for 17 sailors, one

Navy officer, and a Japanese pilot killed during the Dec. 7, 1941

attack. lee bodies of the American sailors have probably been sent

home. This area was west of the Battery compound of a unit mann...,g

.50 caliber machine gun positions. On April i, 1947, Fort Haze, which once had based elements of

three divisions, became a skeleton outpost of Ft. Ruger.

After the war, the population of Mokapu again dwindled unfl in June, 1949, the station was placed on "maintenance" status with

just enough personnel to replace broken windows and keep the grass

;rimmed. The Navy publicly announced that the property lying on

Mokapu was open for lease. Finally, on June 30, 1950, personnel

strength was reduced to a small security force. It remained in this state for a year and a half until Jan. 15, 1952,

when it was commissioned as a Marine Corps Air Station under the command of Colonel Frank G. Dailey.

Early in 1952, Marine Aircraft Group-13 began to move into Kaneohe. Marine Fighter Squadron 235 and 451, equipped with "Corsairs," along with maintenance and base squadrons, and Marine Ground Control Intercept Squadron-Two, rounded oub the group.

The 1st Provisional Marine Air-Ground Task Force (now the I sf

Marine Brigade) came to Kaneohe in early 1953. Units from the 3rd Marine Division arrived for six months training in early 1953, and became the first outfit to be trained under the joint air-ground training program. This particular unit, the 3rd Marines, was se-ill

Japan when the 3rd Marine Division was ordered overseas in August, 1953.

THE ABOVE SKETCH shows the outline of the graves of the 18 1". S. Navy personnel killed in the historic Dec. 7, 1941 attack. The cemetery was located near Heleloa beach, midway betwen Pyramid Rock and Ulu- pau Head. Grave No. 19 contained "Lieut. Lida, Imperial Japanese Navy," who was shot down during the attack. All bodies were disinterred on Aug. 26, 1947, and removed to a mausoleum at Schofield Barracks, from where they were taken care of in accordance with the wishes of the im- mediate families. Some probably remained in Hawaii at Punchbowl National Cemetery of the Pacific. The J3panese pilot was probably sent home, in accordance with the rules of the Amesirsn Graves Registration Section_ Temporary cemeteries, such as the one en Mokspn, were located at various points on Oahu.

The :Dlorful 4th Marines arrived from Japan on Feb. 4, 1955. With ;ts arrival, the station assumed its fulltime role, "to provide facilities to support regular operations of Fleet Marine Force aircraft in direct support of a regimental combat team."

Nearly 2,000 spectators were on hand May 4, 1956 to observe the rebirth of the 1st Marine Brigade at Kaneohe. In a historic cere- mony whicn took place on the regimental parade field, the color of the kt Provisional Marine Air-Ground Task Force was retired.

The Brigade is presently commanded by Brig. Gen. George R. E.

Shell. He assumed command on June 23. !956, relieving arig. Gen. Edward C. Dyer.

Today, chapels of the Christian faith have replaced the native heiaus. The hum of industry in the Hawaiian village has been drowned out by the roar of aircraft leaving the runway. Meanwhile, speculation still exists regarding the origin of the bones in the sands of Heleloa.

Nuupia fish pond and the native salt works are all that remain of the ancient civilization that inhabited Mokapu. It is probable they will leave the modern scene shortly.

The training necessary to produce America's most efficient fight- ing team is a full-time job, and the Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneoh- Bay, and the 1st Marine Brigade are producing This machine in an eimosphere of ancient history.

Friday, November 23, 1956 U. S. MARINE CORPS AIR STATION, KANEOHE BAY, T. H.

THIS GOVERNMENT VEHICLE is in its present c.)ndition because of negligence. It was on display at the main gate for two weeks. The initial cost was $1,080 and it would take an estimated $1,800 to repair it . if it could be repaired. On 31 October this vehicle, d:iven by a Marine, was traveling 35 miles per hour on a road that has a safe sped limit of 20. The driver noticed a truck on the rigbt sj-la of tSe road, "half on and half off." He applied his brakes and veered to the lef: but because of his excessive speed went into a slide. This vehicle came to a stop only after it had hit the guard rail on a bridge, and plummeted 12 feet down a ra,ine. Luckily, neither the Marine nor his two passengers were seriously hurt, but because of excessive speed and negligence, the vehicle will have to be surveyed ... at a cost of 1,080 dollars. THINK while you are driving. OBEY the traffic laws. Let's not ever see YOUR vehicle, private or government, on disala. al the main gate.

SSgt. James H. Mosley, freight transpor- tation clerk with MCAS Shipping and Receiving De- partment, pi owed last week that the style that seldom enanges can be the best one.

At a Mandarin Ball held at Wai- kiki's Lau Yee Chai, Mosley com- peted against tuxedoes, dinner jack- ets. and imported shirts. in a four- division fashion show. For the women. it was Occidental gowns, Mandarin jackets, and Chinese gowns; for the men, it was simply the "best-dressed."

Mosley won the "best dressed man" division, and did it with the Marine Corps dress blue uniform. with white accessories. The uni- form blended beautifully with the female-worn Hong Kong sheaths and molded Peking formals.

Dr. Robert Johns and Dr. Darrell Inabnit, director and deputy di- rector of the United States Armed Forces Institute respectively, visited K-Bay on Nov. I to meet with unit education officers to appraise edu- cational endeavor at Kaneohe. They left highly impressed with the reception they received and the educational interest on all levels.

The figures speak for themselves in that 30 percent of Brigade and 42 percet participation with 13b5 ten percent of Station personnel are participating in off-duty cour- ses.

In good tradition the Marine Corps Institute claims the highest percentage of students with 949

from the Brigade and 38 from the station. USAF] correspondence courses are also popular with 405

men participating from the Brigade and 15 from the station.

1st Lt. Dale C. Hawkins. educa- tion officer for the 31 d Bn.. 4th Marines. has initiated two group seminar classes in his battalion. one in basic mathematics, another in high school algebra. 1st Lt. D. G. Williams is teaching the first. 2nd Lt. Robert Fisher the other.

The ingenious factor in this -iethod of education is that the classroom method is upheld and field work does not interfere. The classes are arranged to fit the train- ing schedule.

Despite the training schedule. Kailua night school is still claim- ing many Marines and awarding them high school diplomas it they -neet all of the requirements. Two hundred fifty -nine men from the Brigade are attending and twenty- two from the station.

On the higher levels of educa- tional ambition six station men and thirty-two Brigade personnel are enrolled at the University of Hawaii.

Aside from these endeavors. K- Bay Marines are also sharpening their specifically military skills. Two hundred forty men from the Brigade and thirty-two station personnel are taking Marine Corps extension courses.

Capt. J. A. Weatherspoon. Bri- gade education officer, explains the high level of educational interest in two ways. First command in- terest is high. Second the educa- tion officers are getting the word to the men.

Whatever the reasons might be, a further look at the figures is revealing. The 4th Marines have

men Involved; Brigade troops. 19 percent with 381 men; and Marine Aircraft Group 13, 17 percent with 265 men.

Island Educator To Address PTA At Mckapu Meet

"What can parents expect of a good school?" will be the sub- ject of an address by Dr. Deal Crooker to the Mokapu Elemen- tary School Parent-Teacher's As- '.ociation meeting at 8 p.m.. Thurs- day. Nov. 29.

A well known Island educator, ur. Croukei Superintgn-dent in Charge of Curriculum for the Ter- ritorial Department of Public In- struction.

Graduating from N. Y. Universi- ty. Dr. Crooker later received his doctorate at Columbia University. Coming to Hawaii in 1941. he is a former principal of Punahou Ele- mentary School and has been with the DPI since 1948.

The PTA business meeting at 8 p.m. will be preceded by an open house at Mokapu from 7 to 7:45 p.m. Classrooms will be open and will display students' work. Teachers will be present for consultation with parents.

A review of the annual budget will be the main topic of discussion during the business meeting. As the discussion will involve the dis- tribution of an additional $1,800 recently made available to the school by the DPI for the purchase of textbooks. a maximum atten- dance by parents is urged.

A continuing large enrollment at Mokapu has necessitated the em- ployment of two additional teach- ers, according to Mr. James K. F. Lee. principal. Mrs. Julia Elliott now teaches an additional 6th grade class. while another 3d grade class is under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Yano.

Marines Trounce University; Muddy Battle is Season's Best

Approximately 4,000 rain-soaked football fans witnessed one of the best grid clashes on Oahu this year, when the Hawaii Marines downed a highly 'outed University of Hawaii squad last Sunday to the hese of 7-2 i^ Honolulu Stadium.

The victory enabled the. Marines to maintain their 1956 dean slate as they have vet to be beater; or ged

In defeating the Rainbows. the - Leathernecks chalked up their fifth consecutive win in the University- Armed Forces Invitational Con- ference this season and reversed the trend of the past few years which saw the Rainbows holding high score in their annual meeting.

The win also gave the Marines a clear path to the Conference crown, since they have now beaten all op- position ir. U-AF circuit.

Strong defensive play by the en- tire inspired Leatherneck eleven kept the game on ice after Dave Kline passed to halfback AI Daniels an the third play of the fourth period, and again passed. this time to halfback Ken 1Vedemeyer, for the point-after-touchdown.

The next tilt for the unbeaten Marine squad will be Sunday. Nov. 25. when they tangle with the Ha- waii Rams for the third time this season. The game is scheduled for Honolulu Stadium at 2:30 p.m.

The Leathernecks. led by such stellar backs as Bob Trader. Jerry Haskins. Al Daniels. Dave Kline and Ken Wedemeyer. put together a passing and ground attack that was stopped only in the first two periods of the game by a stubborn U of H forward wall

The Rainbows had the first break in the hard-fought battle on the opening kick-off

The Marines won the toss and chose to receive. Skippy Dyer boot- ed the bah into the Marines' end- zone. over the heads of everyone. Al Daniels raced back. picked up the ball and .tarted to run it but quickly changed his mind. Evident- ly confused. he stopped and was tackled in the end zone by the 'Bow's left guard Bill Tam.

From this point the two teams battled on even terms with the Marines appearing the stronger in the closing minutes of the half.

With only one minute and fif- teen seconds left to play in the first half. the Rainbows punted to their own 44 yard line where Kline tucked it in and picked up four yards.

On the play Haskin hit off left tackle for nine yards and then Kline passed to Ricketts on the Bow's three.

Here it was the Marines' ball. first and goal to go. with only seconds remaining to play. Haskins again hit the middle for two yards and the TD but the score was nullified as both teams were off- side.

The ball was put back on the three yard line with five seconds remaining in the first half. At this point Kline chose to handoff to Daniels but the University forward wall held and the gun sounded to end the first half with the secre: Rainbows 2-Marines 0.

In the second half the Marines again won the toss and received the kick-off.

Dyer kicked to Carl Rohnke who returned it to his own 37 yard line. From here the Marines and Bows see-sawed in Rainbow terri- tory. exchanging the ball several times on punts. Never in the sec- ond half did the University squad muster enough steam to roll past midfield.

iVith only a minute left in the third period. Coach Stawicki substituted `fob Trader for Jerry Haskins and on the first play Tra- der carried off right tackle for 20 yards to the 'Bows four.

Kline handed off to Daniels who drove to the three. The Marines

Kline's pass to end Mike Ricketts was incom- plete but on the next play Kline hit Daniels in the end-zone for the tally. Daniels made a spectacu- lar over- the -he'd catch for the TD. The po:nt-after -touchdown was completed on a pass play from Kline to Wedemeyer to end the scoring for the day.

Joe Young's kickoff slipped from the side of his foot and bounced 11 yards where a host of Rainbow linemen fell on it. It was the Uni- versity's ball on their own 48. ..

A series of plays failed to net the needed 10 yards for a first down and Kenneth Kitagawa punted to the Marines' 27 yard line

Here Kline ran two plays un- successfully before Bob Trader boot- ed a quick-kick which set the Bows back on their own 20.

The Rainbows took the ball and tried the pass route but since one pass netted only six yards. they gave it up in favor of their run- ning attack.

The running attack didn't prove too substantial and time ran out as they fumbled and the ball was recovered by Tom Gates at the sound of the final gun.

Outstanding on defense for the Marines were Johnny Glover. Mike Arrostein. Al Stashis. Merrill Jacobs and Daniels.

Rainbow gridders deserving men- tion for their play were Jerry Stothers. Clayton Ching. Bill Tam. Ed Kawawaki.

After the ga.r,e a happy Marine team gathered in the dressing room where they were congratulated in- dividually by Lt. Gen. E. A. Pollock. CO. FMF Pac.

muddy but happy Maj. Ted Stawicki stated: "It was a team victory. the boys played their hearts 011 and i twas the finest victory."

Devil Pups Win Final Grid (las+

Polishing off their first season of midget grid play with a 7-0 win over Schofield last Saturday after- noon. the Kaneohe Marine Devil Pups of the Oahu Pop Warner Con- ference. emerged winners of the mythical Ha w a i i a n All-Service Championship. since Wheeler AFB forfeited the final game which was scheduled for tomorrow.

The forfeiture. coupled with the victory last Saturday. gave the Devil Pups three wins and three losses for their season. Two of the wins were intersectional tilts, including the forfeited game.

In winning over Schofield. the Devil Pups forward wall is deserv- ing of the highest kind of praise. according to Kenneth McVay. midg- et head coach.

"Power was the difference." Mc- Vay said, in commenting on the Devil Pup victory. "The line re- peatedly opened holes in the Scho- field defense allowing the ball car- rier through for first down yard- age . . . it was their best perform- ance of the year.

The Devil Pup's lone TD came in the final minutes of the fourth period. Beginning a drive from their own 20. they moved the ball in a series of first downs to the Scho- field four. From the four. Donny Pichon. right half. carried around his own left side for the counter. Quarterback Randy Crew punched over the extra point with a sneak through the Schofield center.

In praising his team's perform- ance. McVay especially lauded the work of several linemen. Mentioned were: Mine Smock. Gray Hutchin- son. Rod Nichols, Ray Shivelhood. Mickey Pichon. Doug Williams. and

Pigskin Plegnosis

With this Saturday the 1956 football season draws to a close. We as amateur prognosticators haven't had what some people would cal! a "great year-. But too. this was truly a season of upsets for many underdog teams.

But all past records forgotten, we offer our lust ten predictions by choosing the top teams in vari- ous conferences across the nation.

Iowa vs. Notre Dame In the big ten. Iowa plays an

easy non-conference foe. It should go something like: Iowa 27-Notre Dame 7.

Minnesota vs. Wisconsin Here are the Gophers, who can

cinch a tie for the Big Ten title by whipping Wisconsin. So let's help

The Mahimahi were striking them. Minnesota 34-Wisconsin 13. triking for a mixed party of security and ISO Oregon State vs. Oregon personnel who took the charter boat Kaimanu out la-st Saturday. Dave Ebberts of security landed a 30 pound wahoo; H. E. Roberts and R. H. Ramsey each took one of the succulent dolphins of 10 pounds; Capt. Glenn Stevens of ISO snag- ged an 11 pounder, while A. L. Lac- key brought in one weighing 20 pounds. Norm Edland thrilled to a marlin strike. but knew the heart- break of seeing the big fish break loose!

For fishermen who have a prob- lem stowing their heavy surf cast- ing poles. the Club has provided the answer. Poles may be stored in the Clubhouse. building 150. across from the station crash boathouse.

u-Marines By JACK FISHER

Two Aku-Marines. Sam Bennet and Bill Borgman. enjoyed an ex- ample of inter-club hospitality last Sunday when the Station Rod and Gun Club arranged to include them on what became a hunting and skin diving trip to Lanai. The trip proved to be a happy excursion for all hands, although Sam and Bill had cause to reflect that the best skin diving areas are inac- cessible by road (The roads on La- nai tend to cross the Island rather than follow the coastline.

The divers, complete with spear guns. SCUBA tanks and other pa-

! raphernalia boarded a taxi from I Lanai City and snaked their way Idown the mountainous road to Kau- malapau Harbor, which was the only jumping off point available in the time allotted.

The harbor and surrounding wa- ter areas have been well worked over by the local spear and pole fishermen, but Sam and Bill were able to bag a respectable catch of fish and lobster and came very close to gaffing a 25-pound Ulua.

The waters were observed to be as clear and beautiful as any that surround Oahu. and the coral and cave formaions proved so fascina- ting, the divers momentarily for- got to fish. One of the highlights of the underwater scenery was an almost luminous yellow variety of coral which grew abundantly throughout the 10 to 50 foot depths in which they were diving.

Last week's semi-annual meeting of the Hawaiian Skin Diving As- sociation. with which the Aku- Marines are affiliated. programmed a talk on shell collecting by one of the foremost authorities on the subject in the Hawaiian Islands. The talk cleared up many ques- tions as to how to hunt for the shells and how to remove the marine animals inhabiting the live shells. Hunting shells is a hit or miss game. and by novice tactics it is mostly miss.

Removing the marine animals from the shells can be an exasper- ating task unless the rig_it method is used. The generally accepted method among the professionals is to quick freeze the shells for 24 hours then allow them to thaw under low temperatures for sev- eral days. This softens the meat to a degree that it can be removed relatively easily with a wire.

Clubs The installation or foul new

Toastmasters highlighted what aas a very impressive program. when the ":.M Toastmasters held their regular meeting Tuesday in build- ing 221 Joining the ranks of Toast- masters were Norm Ecilaulci. jca.slc Richardson. Alec Joseph. and Rob- ert Bartlett. Three of them had a chance to show their worth as they gave members an insight into their pastille with the customary "Break- ing the Ice" speech. This influx of new members. with the promise of more to come. is an encouraging sign.

For the past three months an- other club. dedicated to improving their public speaking, has been holding meetings here at Kaneohe. The Windward Toastmistresses hold meetings the first and third Thurs- day of each month in the Sunday School teachers' lounge of Rainbow Village at 7:30 p.m. At their meet- ing last week Toastmistress for the evening. Adah Weltzeira introduced two speakers. Sybil Maynard and Wilma Tice, both of whom gave their initial speeches before the club.

Membership is open to all ladies on Windward Oahu. civilian and military. and interested persons are cordially invited to join.

Toastmaster for the evening. Bill Zahn. came forth with a novel idea. at a meeting of the Staff NCO Toastmasters last week. as he in- structed all speakers to speak with their hands tied behind the.r backs. Rising above this predicament and giving his "Masterpiece- speech was Toastmaster Hal Dunbar as he took the oest speaker's award. Toastmaster Howard Woolridge. in a speech on snakes. took the most

!improved speaker's award in his fourth speech after close competi- tion from Toastmasters Davidson and Fraley.

MARINE UNIFORMS The Marine uniform has bees

built up in the course of genera- tions. Its style has changed as mili- tary stNles do. But the changes are ever so gradual. and the Marine uniform has always retained certain old colors ,and devices that revive early loyalties and the memory of heroes who once fought for the Corps.
