Editor's Corner

Charred flesh and twiited wreckage. Not a pleasant thought, is it? But it happens. It happens all too often, especially when many

drivers try to operate their cars after an evening of drinking.

Why it happens was shown recently in an experiment demonstration at Ft. Benning. Ga.

Four Berm:rig MPs took part. Each had four drinks. Two hours later they took driver reaction tests.

A sergeant who drank coke passed the test easily.

A private first class who downed four martinis found his braking time slowed 66 per cent. Same with a specialist third class who drank four bourbons. A private first class who had four beers slowed down 30 per cent.

And had they undergone police tests, all would have been judged drunk drivers. Drunkometer tests showed the martini drinker had three times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood-stream. The bourbon im- biber had more than twice the limit, and the beer drinker was con- siderably beyond the legal minimum.

The volunteers got home safely. They were assigned chauffeurs. Tipplers who don't have chauffeurs won't find it so easy to arrive safely at home.--(AFPS)

Digging down to pay our income tax again this year, we may be tempted to grouse around about it.

Grousing may he an old American custom and privilege, but more thought on the reason for taxes might cut the grumbling.

Income taxes maintain our "Power for Peace" program. A big part of our taxes goes for armed strength. New guns, planes, tanks, ships, explosives for the Armed Forces cost money.

So do roads in and around our home town. So do schools and social benefit programs.

It's all to keep the country strong and a good place for us and our families to live.--(AFPS)

Long Range Planning Look at it this way-the Payroll Savings Plan is really LONG-

RANGE PLANNING. TAILORED TO FIT YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. Payroll Savings is as personally yours as the hat on your head. YOU pick out the sum of money'which you want to be yours nine years and eight months hence; the one you think will best suit the needs of your family. YOU specify the amount 'lief, you wish to set aside regularly, AUTOMATICALLY, each payday, in Payroll Savings Bonds. And YOU AND YOUR FAMILY will reap the rewards of your thrifty common-sense, when your Savings Bonds reach maturity and start returning you $100 for every $75 you've salted away today.

The articles are based on information provided by the America:. Institute of Accountant-.I

-o rye p3rmi:-s you to itemize and deduct all medical expenses beyond

three per cent of your adjusted gross income. If you (or your husband or wife) are 65 or over, the tt-ir .ee per cent

rule does not apply to your own medical expenses. It does app!y how-

ever, to any medical expenses you pay for your dependents.

Among the items to include in your list of medical expenses are fees of doctors, dentists, hospitals and nurses. You can also deduct premiums for health, accident, hospitalization and medical insurance, but you

must reduce your medical ex- penses by the amount of any benefits received from insur- ance. Your total deduction is limited

to a maximum amount for the year, as explained in the instruc- tion book. and medicines and drugs may be included in your medical expenses only to the ex- tent they exceed one per cent of your gross income.

The federal tax code contains several provisions of special in- terest to widows and widowers:

11 You may file a joint return with a husband or wife who died during the tax year if no separate return is filed.

(2) If you have wit remarried arl have it your hou'ehold a de- pendent child or stepchild. you are entitled for the next two years to use the same tax computation (with income-splitting re:vileges) as yen have been entitled to on a joint return.

(3) When life insurance proceeds are taken as an annuity or in in- stallments. widows and widowers are allowed up to $1.000 per year of tax free payments in addition to a pro rata amount of the principal.

(4. You may be entitled to a de- duction for child-care expenses.

la) You may be -entitled to re- tirement income credit if your de-

ceased husband or wife Would' have qualified. The instruction book which comes

with your tax forms gives further information. Help is also available by telephone or at offices of the In- ternal Revenue Service. You are urged to consult a properly qualified advisor if you decide to seek outside help.

Education Notes The Marine Corps Institute has

just released for enrollment. a nee course entitled DEMOLITIONS

13.10). The course is designed primarily for the combat engineer. MOS 1371. However. the course does contribute to the MOS require- ments for infantrymen with MOS's 0311. 0351. and 0369. In a tactical situation demolitions experts may not be available when needed, therefore all Marines can benefit by a knowledge of demolitions.

In five lessons, requiring approxi- mately 20 hours of study.

Marine Test Unit One To Be Deactivated Headquarters Marine Corps an-

nounced last week that Marine Corps Test Unit One. having com- pleted its mission. will be deactiva- ted on June 30. 1957. The Unit was formed in July of 1954 at the di- rection of the Commandant of the Marine Corps to test and evaluate tactics and techniques then under study by the Marine Corps.

Based at Marine Corps Base. Camp Pendleton. Calif. since its in- ception. the unit has engaged in varied and often unique activities It has tested the Marine Corps doctrine of the vertical assault e- ine helicopters for the moveme of troops and equipment in amph.- bious operations.

Due greatly to exhaustive expc! .- ments of the Unit. the former theoretical technique of vertical as- sault is now an accepted and prac- ticed doctrine for the Marine Corps. In addition. the Unit has partici- pated in tests to determine sound military tactics under conditions of nuclear warfare. In follow :: -

Works workmen in transporting transformers to barely accessible '

mountains surrounding Kaneohe Bay. The transformers power red ob- struction lights which wa;n pilots of high elevations.

New Transformers

Placed on Peaks

In Kay-Bay Area After 16 years of service, worn-

out transformers lossted on sur- rounding mountain tops in the Ka- neohe Bay area are being replaced. The transformers are used to pro- vide power for obstruction lights which warn pilots of high elevations.

The operation of removing the .IIIIII: 41E:

old and installing the new units is much easier than the initial in- stallation was years ago. Public Works personnel are doing the work with the help of helicopters from HMR-161.

Usually located on peaks of steep hills and mountains, the 150 pound transformers are transported to the top by 'chopper. where they are installed by a Public Works crew.

When first installed, two men spent an entire day lugging the heavy unit to the top, and they had to return the next day to do the actual job of installing.

The red warning lights are vi- sible for a distance of approxi- mately three miles at night. The units are enclosed in a rolled steel case with copper transformer with- in.

The lights are turned on before sunset each night. and after sun- rise each morning by a main switch located .n the Airfield Operations office.

The old transformers will be over- hauled by Public Works and stored until needed acain. - - MC Schools Croup

Selected as the Marine of the Month. SSgt. Charles R. Sparks. Assistant Maintenance Chief for MACS-2. was congratulated for his courage ana unswerving devotion to duty while saving the life of an in- jured jet pilot.

MABS-13 was selected as Driver of the Month. During January. while performing his regular duties as Motor Transport Aircraft Refueler Dispatcher. it became necessary to assign him additional duties as a motor vehicle operator.

The Bishop Museum

Friday. March 1, 1957 1

`Place of Many Fascinations' Personnel with spare time on

their hands could profit from a visit to the Bishop Museum located on Kalihi st., mauka of King st. in Honn1ulu. The profit is strictly in an educational sense. at the cost ofs expending a few interesting hours.

The Bishop Museum .is billed as a "place of many fascinations" and rightly so. It boasts the finest col- lection of Hawaiian and Polynesian relics. historical and natural history specimens. They are incorporated in just a few of the thousands 00 curios, exhibits and items on dis- play.

It is open to the public Mondays through Fridays. 9 am. to 4:30 pm.; Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Sun- days, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The admission is free.

By automobile, the Museum is less than 45 minutes away from Kane- ohe Bay. From downtown Honolulu, a Kalihi trolley coach deposits pas- sengers one-half block from the en- trance to the Museum grounds.

An inquiry at the receptionist's stand in the lobby will net visitors a guide to the floors.

The manner in which the ancient Hawaiians lived and worked before "civilization" arrived can be viewed in the Hawaiian room. Included are some of the tools, weapons and utensils used. They're slightly worn. but then, they've been around a long time. The spears are wicked-looking, some being constructed from human shin-bones.

There are life size models of men, women and children depicting ;Ile as it was lived in early days. In this room, also. is a duplicate of a gray., house, enabling you to see how homes were made in the -old" days.

To skin-divers and other persons interested in exploring the wonders of the ocean deep. there is a collec- tion of marine life ranging from tiny molusks to a giant sperm whale.

But no matter how long a person stays to browse, it's possible to see only a small portion of the Museum's possessions. The Museum owns more than four and one- half million objects, about five per cent of which are displayed.

TAKING UP HOUSE KEEPING? If so here is everything necessary - if you don't mind "going native." This life size grass ,slack has stc,', utensils. water containers, and in the lower right hand corner, a pri- five form of "checkers," called Konane.

Marine's Widow Expresses Views on 'Service' The widow of a distinguished

Marine who gave his life in the service of his country recently wrote to the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Randolph MCC. Pate. Because of its signifi- cance. Gen. Pate forwarded the let- ter to all general officers for dissem- ination within their commands. The letter follows: "Dear General Pate:

"Lately I saw an article in the Washington Post which set me thinking deeply. It was an article concerning the kind of life which I. myself. lived for many years and somehow the tone of this article gave me a certain sense of complete astonishment-it was an account of some of the experiences which fall to the lot of anyone who marries an officer or enlisted man in the Navy or Marine Corps. As I read it seemed to me that the writer had. in some strange fashion. missed the whole point of what such a life is meant to be. She had translated it entirely into terms of advantages and dis- advantages to herself; it became a recital of what "the service" had to offer her, personally-or of what it had deprived her.

"Now. "service" is a, curious word. It may be the d t word in the world-or the most menial. It de- pends on the t of v'w and in how high esteem you hold its im- portance. But one thing is certain; anyone who enters it, or who is even connected with it. must, per- force, give up the idea that his own comfort and convenience is hence- forth to be his paramount object. The very word presupposes that be has undertaken to dedicate his life and his best efforts to something which will have first call upon them.

and there is no use blinking the fact that it means self-sacrifice for the man and self-abnegation for the woman who marries him.

"In our Army, Navy. and Marine Corps there's a phrase which justi- fies the demand for resignation or discharge of anyone who falls short of the high traditions of his protes-

t sion. It reads. simply: 'for the good of the service.' and that, once proved, is considered sufficient rea- son to sever his connection with the organization whose standards he was bound to uphold. The service comes first, and he was supposed to have understood that before he 'took on.'

"And much the same code ap- plies to the wives. It's not that they are such a noble lot, or that they can bear separation. comparative poverty, and discomforts more gladly than others but if they have any comprehension of what their husband's profession demands of him they do try to help rather than hinder. The service wife has got to know that she can 'take it.' If not. she'd better follow Punch's advice to the young man about to marry: 'Don't.' For the service is not main- tained by the citizens of a nation with any altruistic idea of material benefits to wives. There's no ques- tion of what good the service is go- ing to be to them, but there's every question of what good they're going to be to the service. And there's quite a lot they can do. If they bear in mind that their husband went into this life of his own free will, considering it, probably, the fines profession in the world, they can help to keep him feeling that way all his life. and thereby contribute no little to his efficiency and hap- piness in his chosen job.

"On the other hand. they can

make it a series of grievances and inconveniences for him by their complaints of its disadvantages to themselves. their suspicion that his general is ill-advised or that his admiral is showing favoritism. and that any sudden or unwelcome or- ders are probably due entirely to lack of consideration or a personal grudge on the part of the authori- ties. Persistent wifely persuasion of this sort is enough to convince nearly any man that the game's not worth the candle and that the serv- ice is being run all wrong by those at the top.

"Nothing which depends on hu- man agency is ever perfectly ad- ministered. but if a ship or. which one's husband is serving puts to sea just before Christmas ten to one it's due to some important reason. for. after all, he's not the only man aboard who's being separated from his family - even admirals have families occasionally-and it's not likely that the fellow higher up just being hard-boiled and taking hundreds of men out to sea just order to cause distress to one wife who'd like to have her family to- gether for the holiday.

"It's even possible, when there's a war on, that an officer may have to leave to join his regiment on less than 24 hours' notice-it's one of the things he's trained and paid for, to be ready for such emergen- cies-and even civilians have had to do as much during the stress of war time. The parting, though, bed-ernes no easier if the wife insists on treat- ing it as a personal grievance.

"Certainly she's got no easy road to follow if she's going to be an as- set and not a lig.'sslity It's a strug- gle to keep a brave spirit and a high heart in the face of separation, discomfort, and maybe danger to

the man she cares for. To keep her letters cheerful and encouraging. with the minimum complaint all while her heart fails within her and her spirit sags drearily from loneli- ness. so that she won't weigh him down the more with matters for which he has no remedy. He is al- ready burdened with the care and welfare of a hundred-or a thou- sand-or ten thousand men for whose safety he is responsible; she must spare him that extra anxiety - the recital of inconveniences, hardships. and injustices which she is. temporarily, undergoing. That

/ wail of everything being just wrong.

"Once I heard the finest officer I ever knew say: "Unless you have constructive criticism to offer, or hopes of developing some in the course of discussion, keep your de- structive criticism to yourself - otherwise you're just airing your own private whine.'

"And that's what the understand- ing service wife must learn. in great measure. to do. It's a hard lesson to master. but it can be done. There's one great thing that upholds us- a thing which is almost impossible to put into words, but it wells up within us. an instinct rather than a reason-and gives that which en- ables us to endure the lesser trials and, sometimes. the greater ones. No matter how craven we are or how little we like being heroic. none ;

Aku-Marines Archery Season By JACK FISHER

Currents of atoku Manu last Friday were the strongest ever ex- perienced by the Aku Marines, and after a poor start. the diving party weighed anchor in favor of the safer but less productive reefs ad- jacent to Flat Island. A number of fine lobster were taken, but the prize of the day was a 3:2 foot white eel taken by Bill Brothers working with Bill Borgman.

Although white eels lack the vi- cious teeth of the more common morays, they battle a diver with the same vigor. Eel of this size have been known to bend steel spears into spaghetti sever strong 1 8 inch nylon line. and even snap cables from break-away spear heads.

Soma of the local divers with years of experience refuse to risk a good spear on an eel. Instead they carry a few otherwise unser- viceable models for stah came. With one or two wen placed shots. they impale the eel in such a way to trap it in its own shelter. The eel is left pinned while the diver searches for other game. Before leaving the area. the diver returns to the eel and capture is relatively simple.

A two-mile swim test is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. off beach headquarters under su-

Vet Home Seller Can Now Obtain Default Release

WASHINGTON - Veterans proposing to sell homes bought on GI loans now may be able to ob- tain release from government lia- bility as protection against new purchasers defaulting on payments, according to the Veterans Admin- istration.

In the past. a veteran has been released from mortgage obliga- tion when selling his home only by paying off the entire GI loan himself or by having the new buyer do so. Under a 1956 law, if the new pur-

chaser, who need not necessarily be an ex-serviceman, assumes the loan and meets credit requirements, the VA may release the veteran from his liability.

The VA said release from this liability does not affect govern- ment guarantee of a loan ; the new purchaser merely assiames the obligation. Release of a vet f rom a GI loan

liability to the government, how- ever, does not automatically re- store his home loan entitlement. Restoration of this entitlement, the

Salk Vaccine Urged for All U. S. Servicemen

WASHINGTON - An urgent plea to all members of the Armed Forces and their dependents liv- ing where polio risk is greatest to set Salk vaccine shots has been aired by the Defense Department.

The vaccine, now generally ac- cepted by health authorities as a safe and highly effective method of preventing polio. will be given to those who desire it, a Defense Department directive said

The directive noted: "Avail- able information indicates that the military personnel and de- pendents at greatest risk are those residing with families of young children. and those in areas where community out- breaks are occurring or where 1soene and sanitation are sub- standard." Thoueh the incidence of polio

among military personnel is low, it was said. the disease is of suffi- cient importance to warrant an extensive immunization program.

However. it was added: ''At this time . . . it is not considered advisable to adopt a general man- datory requirement for immuni- zation of military personnel with this vaccine." -APPS

AIR DEFENSE UNITS GET ATOMIC PUNCH

Secretary of Defense Charles nouncement Feb. 19:

"The Department of Defense

weapons within the United States

"Nuclear air defense weapons

provide by fa.: the most effective

form of defense against air attack. It is essential as our national se- curity that we incorporate these new weapons into our air defense sys- tem. This is being done.

"The first of the nuclear weapons to be introduced into our air defense system is an air-to- air rocket launched from intercep- tor-type aircraft. The rocket is now available in the Air Defense Command.

"Nuclear capability will also be incorporated into our surface-to-air defense systems, including Nike- Hercules and Talon

"Such weapons can destroy air- craft within a considerable distance from the point of burst. Because of their great power, the employment of such weapons for air defense purposes will greatly enhance the effectiveness of interceptor squad- rons and ground based air defense units in stopping enemy bombers short of our cities and other stra- tegic targets. These weapons pro- vide a further deterrent to aggres- sion against the free world.

"The precise schedule under which these air defense weapon systems will be deployed at individual bases or installations will not be an- nounced for reasons of military se- curity. nor will such installations be ,dentified.

"Elaborate precautions have been taken in the design and han- dling of these air defence weap- on.s to minimize harmful effects resulting from accidents either on the ground or in the air.

"Atomic weapons tests conducted by the Atomic Energy Commission have confirmed that the possibility of any nuclear explosion occurring as a result of an accident involv- ing either impact or fire is virtually non-existent.

E. Wilson, made the following an-

now have been developed which

"As stored and earned these weapons emit no harmful radiation and present no radiation hazard to persons living near or passing by locations where they are deployed. Many personnel already work in the locality of nuclear weapons daily.

"The Congressional Joint Com- mittee on Atomic Energy has teen informed of all phases of the de- velopment of these weapons and their planned deployment."

Savings Bonds Interest Rates Increase Asked

The Treasury Department an- nounced Feb. 14. that it has re- quested Congress to enact legisla- tion which wil permit an increase in the interest rate on sales of United States Savings Bonds.

If the proposed legislation is pass- ed, the Treasury plans to increase to three and one quarter per cent the interest rate on new "E" bonds held to maturity, in place of the

' present three per cent, according to a Treasury Department letter.

The issue price and face value of the new bond will remain unchanged, but the present nine

I years and eight months maturity !will be shortened to eight years and eleven months. Redemption value of the new bond for the early years will be increased to provide a substantially higher yield to own- ers who find it necessary to redeem their bonds before maturity. how- ever present owners of bonds will generally find it advantageous to continue holding them.

The Treasury also plans to of- fer a revised ten year Series "ET' bond with yields generally com- parable to the new "E" bond and returning three and a quarter per cent if held to maturity. The new -11- bond, like the present bond. would pay interest by check each six months in contrast to the ap- preciated-type E" bond.

On passage of the legislation. all bonds dated February. 1957. or thereafter would bear the new terms automatically.
