Armed Forces Day, May 20 "Power for Peace" - when first adopted as the official Armed Forces Day slogan, it was little known that thins phrase would be vividly demonstrated in the sweat, tears and blood of a small Southeast Asian nation called Vietnam.

"Power for Peace" was a term meaning an American

armed force at the ready - ready to meet and repel any act of aggression anywhere in the world at anytime when directed by the President. It was a slogan born in an uneasy period when it was hoped that America's powerful armed services would act as a deterrent to aggressors.

As Americans the world over prepare to celebrate Armed Forces Day May 20, more than 400,000 U.S. servicemen are bringing to the enemy in Vietnam the meaning of that slogan.

The Armed Forces Day theme is "Armed Forces Report to the Nation" - a report which is carried daily in the dis- patches from Vietnam where the United States is at work in a bloody conflict to stop another act of aggression.

It is symbolized by the peace-preserving presence of our Armed Forces in faraway places - in Europe, the Arctic, the Pacific, and other regions of the world.

President Johnson in his Armed Forces Day message points out that nowhereis America's dedication to the love of freedom "reflected more vividly than in the Armed Forces of the United States."

Terming America's military establishment "the mightiest of all time," the President said that this would not be the case, that this mighty arsenal "would give us neither peace nor security without the devotion to duty, the courage and sacrifice of men and women who wear our country's uniform."

"In Vietnam - and around the world - they perpetuate the ideals which made and preserve us as a nation," President Johnson said.

Dedication. . .devotion. . .courage. .sacrifice - this is the serviceman's report to his nation. It is a report written clearly among the rattle of small arms fire, the thump of mortars and cannon, and the earth-shaking blast of falling bombs. It is a report that hopefully will demonstrate once and for all the meaning of "Power for Peace." (AFNB)

CONSECRATION - Father Joseph J. Buzek consecrates host during mass at his silver jubilee in St. Michael's Chapel. A reception was held for all parishoners after mass in his honor. Chaplain Buzek departs K-Bay this month.

By Maccine Titus

Here's a little chatter from the library about a couple of real fascinating books.

The first book is about the "South" and it is also titled "Southerner".

On September 17, 1963, 48 hours after a church bombing in Birmingham had taken the lives of four Negro children, a young freshman Congressman from Atlantic named Charles Longstreet Weltner, author, placed the following remarks in the congressional record: I do not know why it happened. It happened because those chosen to lead have failed to lead. Those whose task it is to speak have stood mute.

A personal testament of one who loves the South, dearly, but knows that "change, swift and certain, is upon us, and we must not remain forever bound to another lost cause."

Remember Stanley of "Liv- ingston I presume" fame? Well this account makes a fascinating book called "South of the Moon". We will travel with Blaine Lit- tell, African correspondent and author, on the same route taken by Sir Henry M. Stanley in 1874 to 1877 only we do it via our armchairs and do it in 5 months. This is a fascinating, frequently

Blind Spots How many times have you read

about a driver who hit a pedes- trian and then said, "I just didn't see him. All of a sudden he just appeared in front of me!" And chances are that he is telling the truth, because he does not know that he has blind spotsinhiseyes.

What about you? Well, here is how to find out. Close the left eye, hold this page about 10 inches in front of the right eye, stare

directly at the plus sign with the right eye. Now move the page a little nearer or farther away. The white circle in the black square will disappear when the correct distance is found.

Each eye has a point where a person is totally blind. This is the point where the optic nerve is attached to the retina. But due to binocular vision, most people never kno-o .hat the blind spots exist, because one eye will always be on a sensitive area.

But suppose you momentarily closed one eye for some reason or the other. You could very well find yourself saying, "I just didn't see him!" So know your blind spot -- it does exist.

College Openings Announced

For 1967 Freshman Classes Some 600 four-year accredit-

ed colleges report that they still have openings for the freshman class entering in the autumn of 1967.

This fact stands; out in the special report released May 1, by Changing Times. The report is based on the maga vine's ninth annual survey of four-year accredited colleges with room for students. The report points out that the large number of openings should not be taken to mean that there's no problem getting in. Competition for ad- mission is growing and a great many students have been re- fused admission by their first

HOMC Seeks Retirees

For Instructional Billets

At Eight ROTC Units Headquarters Marine Corps

is seeking applications from re- tired Marine officers and enlisted personnel of all ranks to fill instructor billets at eight ad- ditional Marine Corps Junior ROTC units which will be acti- vated in September 1967.

Those selected will receive full pay and allowances for the grade or rank held at the time of their retirement. However, the moving of household effects or reimbursement for travel to the school location is not authorized if the retiree utilised the one authori- ed move upon re- tirement.

Applications, sent to the Com- mandant of the Marine Corps (Code AF), Washington, D.C. 20380, should include the follow- ing information: (1) civilian em- ployment since retirement: (2) area of the country in which the applicant desires employment as an instructor; (3) civilian edu- cation since retirement; and (4) a full-length photograph.

from 4:30 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Station Swimming Pool.

Mr. Eugene Marks, Red Cross Field Director, announced that service personnel and their de- pendents, and dependents of re- tired personnel are eligible for enrollment.

Mr. Marks stated that the courses are designed to prepare counselors for the swimming portion of the K-Bay Youth Ac- tivities Association Summer Fun Program, scheduled to be held during the summer.

Those interested in signing up or wishing additional infor- mation may call Mr. Marks at the Red Cross Office, 258-72606 or 258-73575.

choice and second choice col- leges, according to the survey.

For the ninth consecutive year, hOwever, the magazine shows that scores of accredited colleges still have room for more students. Openings are scattered around the country, with the few- est in New England and the most in the Midwest and South.

On the whole, fewer spaces for men than for women are av- ailable, and far more for day students than those who want to live in a dormitory. In many cases, the openings are for stu- dents headed for specific fields, such as education, business, mu- sic,*, nursing, engineering, phar- macy, home, etc.

Looking into costs for cam- pus, day, and out-of-state stu- dents at the 750 colleges re- porting, it was found that over 300 schools definitely plan to boost tuition and fees again dur- ing the next two years.

Opportunities for average of "C" students were surveyed by the magazine. Its conclusion: About 550 colleges said they'd give consideration to applinants with C-average records. "We are interested in the highly mo- tivated average students," said one New England college.

Openings for transfer stu- dents and two-year college grad- uates Were also surveyed and an encouraging report issued for both: Many colleges need trans- fers to replace dropouts. And nearly 500 colleges report that they're especially interested in students from two-year colleges.

President Asks 4.5 Percent Hike For Federal Civilian Employees

President Johnson has pro- posed to Congress a 4.5 per- cent pay increase for all except the very highest paid Federal civilian employees, to take ef- fect October 1, 1967.

He recommended that Con- gress "take the final step this year to achieve full (pay) com- parability with private in- dustry," and proposed a two- stage plan to remove the re- maining comparability lag in all grades by October 1, 1969. The

first step would take effect in October 1968 and the second a year later.

Submitting the bill, the Pre- sident said:

"Through the years, this Na- tion has built a corps of public servants whose quality is un- matched by any other country in the world.

"Our career employees are well trained and experienced. In ever-increasing numbers, they are skilled professionals. They include not only administrators and managers, but doctors, law- yers, diplomats, economists, scientists, engineers, actuaries systems analysts, law enforce- ment officers, nurses and many others critically needed to provide public services in a com- plex world.

"These men and women came to the public service not by chance but by choice. They come because they are challenged by problems that are far-reaching -- and fateful. They come be- cause Government offers unique opportunities for unselfish serv- ice.

"From them, we expect un- usual dedication. In turn, they have a right toexpect from their Government rewards that match their contributions.

and the fund raising activities preceding it, find thousands of Marines and their dependents working long tiresome hours for one unified purpose: to see the smiling faces of more than 3,000 active and happy military child- ren, who reside on and off Sta- tion, benefit from the proceeds.

Proceeds from the carnival are turned over to the Kaneohe Bay Youth Activities Association which, as a non-profit, com- mand supervised, voluntary as- sociation, is responsible for dis- seminating available non-appro- priated funds among the existing youth organizations.

Last year, the proceeds of the more than $19,000 from the carnival were distributed to the 15 separate activities supported by the organisation.

Units included in the asso- ciation submit yearly budgets which are considered by an as- sociation board composed of re- presentatives from Kaneohe based units and advisors from the various activities and given a proportionate percentage of all available funds.

Activities included in the pro- gram are: Swim Club, Little League, Youth Basketball, Youth

Football, Junior Siitvling League, Junior Rifle Club, Teen Club, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Giel Scouts, Brownies and the Sum- mer Fun Program. Also sup- ported by the association are the K-Bay Kadettes, Christian Youth Fellowship and the Annual Christmas party.

Allen Bollig drove in five runs with three hits for the Cubs, with Jim Ash smashing a triple, a double and a single. Mark Hodes follow-

Caeser Captures First In 220-Dash

Marines Cop Second At Interservice Meet K-Bay trackmen finished a

respectable second in the 1967 Interservice Track and Field Championships held last Friday at the University of Hawaii.

The Marine runners totaled 27 points to finish behind the first place Navy team, who tal- lied 87 points. Air Force finish- ed third with 24, and Army fol- lowed with 14.

Jesse Caeser Paced the Ma- rine runners to their second place finish by copping the 220 - yard dash in 23 seconds flat, and placing third in the 100-yard dash and the high jump. Caeser also ran on the second place SSO-yard relay team.

Running in the 3-mile dis- tance event, Fred Klafta better- ed his best time so far this year by one minute, but still finished second behind Navyman Reuben Dias. Dias won the event with a 15:50 clocking, and also won the mile in 4:45. Klafta ran on the 880-yard relay team

with Causer, Ferrdie Edward and Earl Bassard.

Bassard finished third in the 220-yard dash, but failed to place in his main event, which was the broad jump. Earl leaped 22 feet previously which would have tied last week's jump.

Bill Houston, who won the high jump and broad jump com- petition in the K-Bay Relays, won third place honors.

In other field events, Bill Cameron took third place in the javelin and was followed by team mate, Barry Saylor. Saylor also took third place in the mile.

Tonight, starting at6:30p.m., Marine, Navy, Air Force and Army runners will participate to- gether as an All-Service team in the Rainbow Relays which will be held at the University of ,Hawaii.

The All-Service team will vie against the University of Hawaii, the Spikesters, the City Wide team and the Church College of

Hawaii. Marines selected to compete

in the relays are Bill Cameron and Barry Saylor who have al- ready competed in the javelin event last Wednesday. Earl Bas- sard ran in the 100-yard dash preliminaries last Wednesday' also.

Bassard will participate in the 440-yard relay event along with Jesse Caeser for the Service team. Bassard will also run in the 100-yard dash finals, the medley relay, broad jump and triple jump.

Fred Klafta will run in the 2-mile relay and the mile relay, while Ferrdie Edwards has been selected to run in the medley relay.

Bill Houston and Jesse Caes- er will put their skills too-ether in the broad jump, with Caeser going for the All-Service team in the high jump. Houston will also be in the triple jump for the service team.

Marine Aviation Celebrates 55th Anniversary Marine aviators from Ka-

neohe Marine Corps Air Station will join thousands throughout the world in observing the 55th anniversary of Marine Corps Aviation, May 22.

When First Lientenant Alfred A. Cunningham reported to the Navy's new aviation camp at Annapolis, Md., May 22, 1912, the long and colorful history of Marine aviation began.

Prior to this,Cunningham had been experimenting with a "dry run" training machine, nick- named "Noisy Nan," on the out- skirts of Philadelphia. After sev- eral months of practice in "Nan" Cunningham spent $25 to rent a contraption from a civilian in- ventor who had been unable to get it airborne.

Lieutenant Cunningham never had the machine aloft, not even after he constructed a ramp on the end of a field in an attempt to catapult the craft. But his enthusiasm was re warded by ord- ers to the Navy's new school, where he soloed three months later and went on to become the first Director of Marine Aviation.

The first Marine Aviationunit was established six years later at Pensacola, Fla., with a total strength of 5 officers and 18 enlisted men, later increasing to 7 officers and 43 enlisted at the outbreak of World War I.

The first Distinguished Fly- ing Cross awarded to a Marine aviator was presented to a mem- ber of the Pensacola squadron, Captain Francis T. Evans. Evans received the medal for contribut- ing to the science of aviation and the security of flight. He looped an N-9 floatplane twice and then purposely went into a spin to see if it was possible to pull out. Experts had serious doubts that either feat could be accomplished.

During the first World War, the Marine's standard combat plane was the British-designed DH-4, nicknamed the "Flying Coffin" because of a vulnerable gas tank between the two crew members. The plane was capable of staying in the air for four hours, a maximum speed of 124 mph arid an altitude of nearly 19,000 feet.

By the end of World War I, a total pf 2,462 Marines served in Marine Aviation, including a

detachment of Marine "Bal- looners" in France, acting in the capacity of artillery spotters.

Marine aviation continued to grow slowly until the second World War, and during the war years, squadron strength ex- ploded from 9 to 132. Marines flew support missions throughout the Pacific campaigns and proved an invaluable asset to the in- evitable downfall of Japan.

During World War II, a total of 976 planes were downed by

Marine aces, a far cry from the World War I total of 4. Kaneohe's Marine All-Weather Fighter Squadron-212 compiled an outstanding record of 132 1/2 planes shot out of the sky, put- ting the squadron in the top five Marine units.

Awards to Marine Aviation units during the war number- ed over 130 Presidential, Navy and Distinguished Unit Citations.

During the Korean conflict, Marines brought in the helicopter

for its combat debut. Helicopter assault techniques greatly in- creased mobility of troops and supplies.

Today, Marine supersonic jets such as the F8 "Crusader" and F4B "Phantom" streak across the skies of Vietnam on bombing mihsions and close air support - further proof that Ma- rine aviation is an important "cog" in maintaining a "force in readiness."
