Fogies May Be Added

To Lengthen Careers Planners at DOD are study-

ing proposals that might dras- tically change current service career patterns, according to Navy Times.

Additional fogies after 28 and 30 years are being considered as an inducement for men staying past normal present retirement.

Also under study is a short- career plan whereby men could serve ten years and leave with a cash settlement paid partly from a contributory retirement system.

The measures would include both officers and enlisted men.

home Barber's Point for about three weeks.

The Marine fighter squadron finds the temporary move from their home station necessary as the air station's long main run- way is being resurfaced.

Other units based here will operate from the shorter, alter- nate runway, but the powerful F8 "Crusader" jet aircraft flown by VMF-212 need a long runway for flight operations.

Once the resurfacing begins, the "Crusaders" are not able to take off or land at Kaneohe and squadron commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Charles M. Wallace, considers training time too valuable to waste.

While at Barber's Point the pilots and ground crewmembers fly routine training missions in tactics, navigation, aerial refuel- ing and practiding air-to-ground rocket firing and strafing.

Famed Marine General Dies Leader Of FMFPac In WW II

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Jan. 14 - Retired Marine General Holland M. Smith, 84, the man who led Marines to victory island-hop- ping across the Pacific during World War II, was buried today on the eastern slope of Ft. Rose- crans National Cemetery over- looking San Diego harbor and North Island.

He died Thursday in the U.S. Naval Hospital here. He had been stricken by a heart attack Nov. 14, in Harlingen, Texas, and was flown here Dec. 7.

Military services were con- ducted at the Marine Corps Re- cruit Depot Chapel at 1:30 p.m. A final 17-gun salute was fired in honor of the man who, in re- cent years, had become known as Mr. Marine Corps.

His son, RAdm. John V. Smith, arrive*, -om Washington with the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Wallace M. Greene, Jr. LtGen. Victor H. Krulak, Commanding General of Fleet Marine Forces, Pacific, came from his headquarters in Hawaii.

Ensign Holland M. Smith II, a grandson who was already en route from Norfolk, Va. to Co- ronado Amphibious School, ar- rived shortly before the services began.

The 41- year Marine veteran affectionately nicknamed "Howl- ing Mad," commanded Fleet Ma- rine Forces, Pacific, during many of its island battles. In ad- dition, he commanded Task Force-56 during the assault and capture of Iwo Jima.

He is credited with much of the early development of ship- to-shore landing and is referred to by many as the father of modern amphibious warfare.

After receiving his B.S. de- gree from Alabama Polytechnic Institute and law degree from the University of Alabama, he was appointed a Marine second lieutanent in 1905. General Smith served in the Philippines, Panama, Santo Domingo and in France at Verdun, the Argonne and Belleau Wood.

The General headed the 1st Marine Division early in 1941 and the Amphibious Corps Pa- cific the following year. In August 1944, he was named CG FMFPac at Pearl Harbor. He was cited for planning and executing the Gilbert and Mai-shall operations, for similar service in th3 Ma- rianas campaign and for his part in the invasion and capture of Iwo Jima. He retired in 1946.

Camp H. M. Smith, now CINCPac and FMFPac head- quarters was dedicated hi his name and the ceremonies attend-

ed by the general on Jan. 31, 1956.

When Gen. Smith returned to Hawaii for the last time, Governor Burns proclaimed Nova 10, 1964 as "Holland M. Smith Day."

During his 20 years in retire- ment, the general was active in youth and charity work. His pri- mary hobby was his flower gar- den.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS The biggest bargain in education today is the armed forces'

education program. It gives almost any indivdual on active duty a chance to continue his formal academic education, regardless of his present educational level or duty location.

The program is one of the finest tools available to build a solid foundation for a career, either military or civilian.

What are you doing to take advantage of the program? Are you using your free time to earn your high school diploma or college

credits? Or, are you one of the many who

tion and talk about "enrolling in that that class next semester?"

The armed forces' education program affords the opportunity to further your education at a fraction of what it would cost as a civilian.

No matter where you are in the world, United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) courses are available. On-campus classes are available at colleges and universities near many military installa- tions. High schools offer adult education during the evening hours, making it easier for you to get your high school diploma.

Talking about the educational program won't get you your high school diploma or earn college credits, An interview with your education officer, class enrollment, hard work and long hours of study can get you that diploma.

The opportunity is there. It's yours for the doing. (AFNB)

By Chaplain J.J. Buzek We are in the last part of the

Christmas season in the Liturgi- cal year. We should continue in our conduct and manner of life our observance of that feast. Christmas was a festival of love. There was happiness and pleasure in the act of opening our gifts. Those gifts were a symbol of the love existing between others and ourselves. We must try to prolong that spirit of love

St. Paul describes that spirit beautifully: "Your love must be sincere. Love one another with the affection of brothers. Anti- cipate each other in sh.:ing honor. Lonk on the needs of the saints as your own; be prompt in offering hospitality. Bless your persecutors: bless them and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice: weep with those who weep. Have the same attitude towards all."

Boy Scouts are expected to perform a good deed each day to show their love for their fellow man. No less is expected of the soldiers of Christ. It is thus that the festival of Christmas can be extended throughout the entire year.

History Of Islands Recalled By Bishop Museum Artifacts

Knowing the land and its natives is a must for enjoying any duty station. The Bishop Museum, Honolulu, relates the story of Hawaii, much more authentically and effectively than Michener's best-seller and in only a couple of hours.

Tired of being called a lolo (dumb) haole by Hawaiian friends, Windy made the twenty-minute trip to the Bishop Museum via the Wilson Tunnel, expecting to be bored by a lot of facts and figures about Princess Ovule's papayas.

Instead, we spent an enjoyable afternoon amidst impressive dis- plays that were entertaining and educational.

The museum exhibits tell the exciting story of Hawaii from its first immigrants through statehood. It depicts the Hawaiians' long journey from South Pacific islands to Hawaii by canoes, their social structure which was remarkably similar to that in Europe's Middle Ages, their deep respect for a religion that included human sacrifice, their frequent wars, and their conversion to Christianity.

One of the most interesting displays is the replica of a heiau, a sacrc.d temple of public worship, constructed from stones of the actual heiau. It was at these temples that ancient Hawaiians offered prayers and human sacrifices to their many gods.

Some of our modern juvenile delinquents would be delighted by the variety of war weapons on view. In addition to the expected spears, there- are strangling cords, a type of brass knuckles using a shark's tooth instead of brass rings, large wooden daggers, tripping clubs and large stone slings.

Showing the quieter side of life in old Hawaii are exhibits of Hawaiians pounding poi, weaving cloth from the bark of the tapa tree, and fishing with ingenious equipment. Their farming methods, though crude, are unique. Of course, there is the typical Hawaiian grass shack.

The changes in the social customs of the royal court are repre- sented by a cape of an early king made from the feathers of over eighty thousand tiny colorful birds, more recent king's uniform which was patterned after those of 19th Century European generals a royal throne, and royal horse carriages are shown.

On display are many fish and animals of the Islands, and the presentation of planets and stars in the planetarium is especially suitable for children.

There is much more which the whole family will enjoy. The Bishop Museum is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. An entrance fee of 50 cents is charged to servicemen, and children accompanied by adults are free.

Big Millon- Dollar Balloon Home Of Elaborate Radar

Nicknamed the "beach ball", the huge globe off Mokapu Road, near the main gate, is a long- range search radar station.

The installation was con- structed by the Westinghouse Corporation at a cost slightly under 1 million dollars. The radome, or outer portion, is 52 feet high. Composed of a neo- prene-coated material, the structure is actually a balloon, kept inflated by two huge blowers.

Access to the inner portion of the radome is gained through two air locks. Because the pres- sure is higher inside than out, these are necessary. If both locks were left opened, the balloon would deflate almost instantan- eou sly.

Secured to the ground by aluminum anchors each with one ton of pressure, the globe will withstand 100-mph winds. The structure is further reinforced by grounded cables.

Adjacent to it is the mainten- ance shelter, a smaller inflated balloon. Manned 24 hours a day, all radar equipment is monitored here and remoted up to the opera- tions center on top of Ulupau Crater. A third building is the

Station Reenlistment Leads Entire Corps

The H&HS Career Advisory Office hit the highest percentage of reenlistments throughout the Corps, in the past six months, Headquarters Marine Corps has announced.

Compared with 60 other com- mands, H &HS reenlistment total was 84.8 percent with the Corps wide figure reading 25.4 percent.

First Sergeant G. L. Shuf- elburger, H&HS Career Advisor, attributes the success of his of- fice to the present system of promotions to lance corporal, corporal and sergeant upon re- enlistment.

Coupled with the variable re- enlistment bonus, which has paid some Station personnel up to $7,700, the system has been a great aid in procuring reenlist- ments, according to Shufel- burger.

The Station also hit the 100 - percent mark in applications ac- cepted for the Enlisted Commis- sioning Program.

radar repair shop which takes care of necessary maintenance.

The entire operation is mobile, and can be deflated and moved, if necessary, in less than a day.

SSgt. P. A. Bicknel heads the operation of the mammouth globe, along with seven others. Westing- house also has a field technical representative at the site.

Inside the "beach ball" is an unbelievable maze of radio fre- quency wires and cables. Whirl- ing around the inside is the antenna, an oval-shaped balloon about 45 feet tall. One side, coat- ed with a reflective substance, sends out the radar wave which bounces off the object and returns to the globe. Timing circuits then convert the waves into blips on a screen and from these, trained radar specialists can determine such factors as the size of the object, its distance, and its speed.

The area is restricted to all curious but unauthorized per- sons.

Civil Service Lists Post Office Openings

Post Office summer job open- ings and requirements have been announced by the U.S. Civil Serv- ice Commission.

Seasonal assistants will be hired during the summer, Christ- mas season and other times during the year when mail work is overburdened.

Persons applying will be re- quired to take a written test. Time and exact place of the test will be determined when applying.

To qualify a person must be at least 18 years of age, with the exception of high school grad- uates 16 years old. Persons op- erating motor vehicles must be 18 years old. Tests will also be given to persons who do not meet these requirements now, but will by the time they are scheduled to assume duty.

Form 5000AB, which can be obtained at post offices, college placement and Civil Service Commission Offices, must be filled out by Feb. 9 and sent to the Interagency Board of U.S. Civil Service Examiners, Pacific Area, 352 Federal Building, Ho- nolulu, Hawaii 96813.

Navy Relief Marks 63 Year's Service The Navy Relief Society will

celebrate their 63rd anniversary of service to the Navy and Ma- rine Corps January 23.

Launched in 1904 with a $9,000 grant from the Army-Navy foot- ball game the previous year, the Navy Relief Society has grown into a world-wide, multi-million dollar organization with 112 of- fices manned by some 6,500 vol- unteer s.

One of these offices is the Hawaiian Main Auxiliary at Pearl Harbor which has branch offices here and at Barber's Point.

Fulfilling the Society's motto, "The Navy Takes Care Of Its Own," the Hawaii Auxiliary last year cared for local Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their families to the tune of more than $50,000 in loans and outright grants.

The Kaneohe Branch, under officer manager Mildred Graham and 18 volunteer workers, handled 106 cases last year for n total of $5, 2'24.29, including both

A Marine enlisted selection board convened Jan. 13 to select qualified sergeants for promo- tion to staff sergeant. Sergeants with a date of rank of Dec. 31, 1966, or earlier, will be con- sidered by the board.

The board, headed by Col. Louis R. Daze, is expected to be in session approximately nine weeks.

HQMC also announces a se- lection board will convene Jan. 31 to recommend male officers on active duty for temporary promotion. to captain.

First lieutenants with a date of rank of July 1, 1966, or earlier, on active duty the day the board convenes, are eligible for consideration. Promotions re- sulting will be of a temporary nature, according to Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 5787.

All promotions made will be effective for not longer than six months. Temporary appoint- ments will terminate auto- matically upon the officer's re- lease from active duty.

Marines Help Build Vietnam Dispensary

DA NANG, Vietnam - An esti- mated 500 patients a week are expected to receive treatment at the new Son Thuy dispensary, ac- cording to volunteer corpsmen from MAG-16.

Built and supported through the MAG -16 Civic Action Pro- gram, it is located In Son Thuy, a Vietnamese village five miles southeast of Da Nang. Marines donated wood, tin, and nails for construction of the dispensary which has four part-time doctors, one dentist, and three ccrpsmen.

Two weeks ago Vietnamese villagers aided a group of MAG- 16 volunteers in painting the building.

"To help people help them- selves, is the primary goal of the program," stated Hospitalman Thomas E. Eagles, a MAG-16 corpman and Vietnamese inter- preter.

Despite frequent harassment from Viet Cong, the people make numerous trips to the dispensary, "displaying confidence in the MAG-16 volunteer team," added Eagles.

Viet Convoy Reaches Objective Despite Fire, Blown-Up Bridge

By 2nd Lt. J.P. Novak CHU LAI, Vietnam, -- A com-

bined effort by Marines of the 1st Marine Division and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing was brought to a successful conclusion when a Chu lai,Da Nang truck convoy reach- ed its destination.

Moving out at 10 a.m. from the "main gate" of the Chu Lai com- plex, the convoy, dubbed "Rough Rider," included three Ontos and 33 other vehicles. It was origin- ally scheduled to leave the pre- vious morning, but its depart- ure had been set back because of a bridge blown by the VC.

Aerial security was provided by an 01-C observation plane, two UH-1E (Huey) gunships and two A4D "Sky Hawks."

The convoy moved steadily northward with only a few minor incidents, such as detours and flat tires, to mar an otherwise smooth journey.

Then it all changed. At ap- proximately 2:35 p.m., near the hamlet of Thanh Binh (3), 18 miles south of Da Nang, a bridge was reported blown up ahead of the convoy. The convoy came to a stop as the convoy command- er, Capt. Phillip S. Bradley, commanding officer of "C" Co., 7th Motor Transport Bn., jump- ed from his vehicle to survey the damage.

He ordered security out on

both flanks of the stopped trucks and then brought trucks contain- ing bridging material and car- rying engineers to the front of the convoy.

Working quickly, the en- gineers of the 1st Bridge Co., 1st Engineer Bn., used the bridging material to construct a crossing. At the same time, a company of Republic of Vietnam (RVN) soldiers brought in a con- voy of sand laden trucks with which to fill the gaping hole.

Suddenly, shots rang out, some ricocheting off the bridge. Marines and RVN took immediate action and returned the fire in a fire fight which ended as quick- ly as it began. Although no Ma- rines or RVNs were casualties, a Vietnamese civilian was wound- ed in the leg. He was immed- iately evacuated by one of the "Hueys" which had been circling high over the stopped convoy.

Except for a few scattered sniper rounds, the rest of the trip was uneventful.

At 7:30 p.m. the convoy roar- ed into the 7th Motor Transport Bn. motor Pool in Da Nang.

Although it took approximate- ly 10-1/2 hours to complete the 50 mile trip, the Marines had once again proved their deter- mination to keep Route No. 1

Haw Mars Bow To Rainbows; Take Truckers, Stun SubPac

Hawaii Marines bowed to the vastly improved University of Hawaii Rainbows 95-82 but re- bounded to stomp the Truckers 102-87 and stun the league lead- ing Sub Pac club 71-69 in a double overtime game last Tuesday.

Snaping out of a prolonged slump, the 'Necks rode a 40 point performance by DougJohn- son to an easy victory over the Truckers. Johnson finally came through as a top scorer after showing promise throughout the season. He hit an amazing 19 for 22 from the field and was two for two from the charity line in route to the season's highest Marine scoring effort. Doug also hauled down 17 rebounds, second only to Al Stepan's 25. Big Al contributed 20 points to the Haw- Mar cause. The Truckers were unable to rebound with the big- ger Leathernecks but Gary Housel's hot-shooting kept them close for the first half. Ahead by only eight at the intermis- sion, the Haw Mars canned a fan- tastic 61 points in the second half to compile their winning margin.

SubPac limped into the Ka- neohe gym minus the services of their player-coach Joe Meagher and with Snipe, their 6'6" center at half speed due to a car acci- dent. They limped out in even worse shape after the Marines had administered them their second consecutive league loss.

The game was a cardiac con- dition causer from beginning to end. The Marines kept close to the heavily favored Raiders in the first half and went to the half time lockers one point down 29-30. Hays lip's long shots and Mosley's drives accounted for most of the first half point pro- duction. Al Stepan took up some of the slack caused by Tom De- laney's absence. The 6'7" center is sidelined with an ankle injury. Stepan pulled down 19 rebounds against the towering Raiders.

The Marines pulled ahead in the second half to lead 55-50 with four minutes left in the first half and 59-55 with only 56 sec- onds remaining on the clock. Fletcher Bacon missed a long jump-shot, however, and a quick basket by Kuhnz and two free- throws by Raaka sent the game into overtime tied at 59-59.

Hays lip hit two long shots and Mosley scored a layup for the Marines while Franklin and Kuhnz canned three long shots to end the first overtime at 65 apiece. In the second overtime the game was decided by six straight free-throw conversions by the 'Necks. Raaka tipped in two buck-

ets for the Raiders-but the final score showed the Marines on top 71-69.

Hayslip and Mosley wound up with 20 apiece to lead Marine scoring and Snipes tallied 20 for the Raiders.

The U of H utilized a ftill- court press and a fast break to rack up their first victory over the Hawaii Marines in four years.

Under the tutelage of "Red" Rocha the U of H has come up with a much better ball club than the past few editions. The Ma- rines hit as well from the field, rebounded as well, and got as many points from the foul line. The games deciding factor were the "easy" buckets for the Rain- bows that came as a result of defensive lapses by the Marines.

Stepan wound up high point man for the Marines with 22 points followed by Hayslip with 18. Harmon tossed in 22 for the college cause followed by Ritte and Helm with 18 apiece.

KMCAS Intramural All-Stars Formed; Prepare For All-Navy Competition

K-Bay may rise again! The Hawaii Marines are taking their lumps this year and most of the major honors have eluded their grasp. Steven E. Olson, K-Bay's Recreation Specialist, has taken matters into his own hands. Con- vinced that this base has com- petitive-caliber material in its own right, he has organized a

to

pick-up team of some of the better intramural players and is preparing them for competition in the forthcoming Hawaiian Area All - Navy Basketball Tour- nament.

The fledgling team started off on the right foot, the other night, by downing the Honolulu All-Stars 72-65. Who are the Honolulu All-Stars? Bruce 0'- Niel, long-time star for the U of H and the service-league Truckers, Gary Cook, second leading scorer in the inter-serv- ice league last year, and Roy Ichinose, current star for the Truckers, for a start.

Ichinose, who could manage only six points against the K- Bay all-stars, then drove across town, joined forces with the Truckers and gunned 17 points against the Hawaii Marines.

The Honolulu all-stars grab- bed an early lead and held it until just before the end of the first half. Martin Farmer of 1/27 and Garvy of MACS-2, who hit a blazing 70 percent from the field, tallied three quick buckets right before the buzzer. In the second half Farmer and Garvy blazed away effectively from out- side while C.J. Rooney and Haw- kins controlled the backboards. Farmer and Garvy were the leading K-Bay scorers with 22 and 20 points.

The all-stars will find even tougher competition in the Ha- waiian Area All-Navy Basketball Tournament which will begin on Jan. 30 at Bloch Arena. Among the entries will be SubPac, fin- alist in the Rainbow Classic and this year's champion in the Armed Forces Senior Invitational Basketball League.

iln Tribe's trivial opinion is that if you don't like living in Hawaii,

you just don't like living. Sure, back in East Peasic, North Dakota or Cut-and-Shoot, Texas you knew all twenty people and both spotted dogs. here the only person you know is your friendly company Gunny, whose sole concern for your instant disappearance from his immediate vicinity. So you sit in the barracks and -- uh, com- plain.

If you consider yourself a sports-fan or a nature-lover I have even less sympathy for your plight. Here you are, completely sur- rounded by some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, offer- ing some of the world's best surfing, unexcelled scuba-diving, and of course swimming year-round.

"I'm not a surfer'cause they cut all my hair off, I can't afford an aqua-lung, and salt water tastes bad when you swim in it," you complain. Sit and cry if you want to buddy, but if you want advice it's to join a surf club, check out diving equipment at your special services, visit beaches other than in Waikiki, and remember that thousands of people pay millions of dollars to choke on that same salt water.

If your interests are other than aquatic, there are plenty of alternatives. Motorcycle buffs can join clubs that take rides around the island, base intramurals offers a ready outlet for those with competitive spirit and mountain climbers are faced with a challenge in every direction.

K-Bay has one of the island's finest golf courses as well as a water-skiing club. Potential pilots can join flying clubs and receive training. Soccer, tennis, boxing, wrestling, polo, badminton, horse- back-riding, you name it and it's available.

If you prefer the spectator sports role you may choose from professional, college, high school, and interservice baseball, football and basketball, as well as a host of other sports.

Next time you catch yourself complaining to a buddy about a lack of something to do, reflect. Is something wrong with Hawaii or is something wrong with you?

HawMars Delaney, Mosley, Stepan

Selected Armed Forces All-Stars Hawaii Marines placed three

players on the ten man all-star squad of the Hawaiian Armed Forces Basketball League. Tom Delaney, Al Stepan and Larry Mosley were Marine representa- tives on the "dream team".

Joining them on the all-star squad were Ray Groover and Naaman Foster, Hickam; John Snipes, Clayton Raaka and Jerry Stephens, SubPac; and Terry Di s- chinger and Art Oliver of Army. Dischinger received the largest number of votes on the basis of his league-leading 35.2 point a game average.

SubPac clinched the league crown against the Island Movers last night at Bloch Arena, Army took second, Marines third, Air Force finished fourth tailed by the Movers in last place.

Delaney, Dischinger and Groover were the only repeats from last year's squad and all three of them are finishing their final year of Hawaiian duty.

The three Marine selectees have all - ready impressive roundballing credential. Stepan, Delaney and Mosley are former All-Marine selections in addition to numerous of the high school, college and service honors.
