Bitter Stars On June 15, 1962, the Windward Marine presented an editorial entitled, "Death in Slow Motion." It dealt with the loss of 53 Marines killed in traffic accidents during the period Jan. 1-May 31 of this year. Since that article, according to recent Marine Corps Bulletin 5100, 51 MORE U.S. Marines have joined their late brothers-in-arms. A total of 104 Marines killed ruthlessly by the biggest and coldest killer of them all-the automc bile. Worst of all, these senseless killings continue. The latest figures released by HQMC are computed through August. How do they stack up against previous years? Shockingiy! Marines killed during the first eight months of this year in auto accidents represent the highest rate of such deaths in the history of the Corps! While the national auto death toll increased by seven percent, the Corps' rate soared by more than 38 percent. Studies show the traffic engineering aspects of motor vehicle safety are being well provided for, consistent with the availability of manpower, material and money. The accidents involving the 104 deceased Marines are attributed primarily to human failure-a lack of social adjustment, a lack of self-discipline or a lack of driving skill. The Commandant has called for even more conscientious and realistic application of personalized drive safety education and stricter enforcement of traffic regulations by all commands. However, the final responsibility-one of life and deathrests with you, Marine. If you can, visualize a car traveling 35 mph as it crunches into a tree. The driver is still traveling 35 mph. The rear of the car rises like a bucking horse. The entire car is wrenched out of shape. In one last convulsion, the seat rams forward, crushing the driver against the steering shaft. Time elapsed: 7/10ths of a second. What a way to go! "If our husbands must be properly dressed at such functions, is it asking too much for the cooperation of the wives as well? Is/ A Marine Wife" * LtCol. J. H. Glenn presentation was made before 1200 Marines and their ladies at the Birthday Ball in Washington's Statler-Hilton Hotel. Measuring seven inches in diameter, the medal is fashioned in gold. A bronze replica has been presented to the Marine Corps by Mr. de Weldon for permanent display at the Marine Corps Museum, Quantico, Va. Mr. de Weldon conceived the medal idea during Col. Glenn's orbital flight. New Brigade Chaplain LtCdr. Leo D. Ward has assumed duties as Brigade Catholic Chaplain, relieving Lt. H. T. Kelly, who has received orders to the Sea Bee center, Port Hueneme, Calif. Chaplain Ward arrived here Nov. 15 from Quantico Thanksgiving: A Time for Thankfulness Thanksgiving: there are so many things to be thankful for that we have a tendency to let this special day degenerate into a glow of well-stuffed satisfaction. Surely most of us were well fed yesterday, either in our own homes or at the loaded tables of the mess halls, and the general feeling of having eaten too well may have been our total response to the call to Thanksgiving. As we recall our response of yesterday we might well remember the idea set forth in one of the "old time" hymns, "Count your many blessings, name them one by one." When we try honestly to count our blessings, those which have been ours per- By Chaplain W. G. Tennant sonally, and try to name them, we find it can't be done. It has even been suggested that blessings be used instead of sheep when trying to go to sleep because when we try to number the blessings, privileges, opportunities and rewards that have been and are ours we find how endless they are; how inclusive they are in number and extent. it is profitable indeed to look at ourselves and see how fortunate we have been. Although if we do so, we are apt to feel slightly uncomfortable because we are driven to the realization of not only our Ingratitude, but our -OBSERVATIONS Award Nov. 10 failure to make the best use of our good fortune. When we try to count and particularize our good fortune we find that it is nearly mandatory that we give thanks. Thanksgiving then becomes not just a festive board, but a time of thankful humility, and results in determination to make the days ahead productive and worthwhile, thereby giving thanks by our actions not only with our lips. The setting aside by proclamation of a day of thanksgiving does not prohibit our giving thanks at other times. If we critique yesterday this may be particularly indicated today -the day after the day specifically set aside for giving thanks for our own many blessings. * Exchange Goes All-Out-With only 26 shopping days 'til Christmas, the Marine Exchange has announced that the 1090 and Toyland stores will be open every Friday night in December until 9 p.m. As an added attraction, the two stores will feature a special sale in one of its departments on each of the late closing nights.

His coin and paper collection doesn't include a wooden nickel -probably all of them, he says are in the hands of collectorsbut it does have an 1802 half-dime valued at $1250. Also included are an 1851 three-dollar bill and a one-dollar bill dated 1886-1899 which jointly are worth $3600 according to Montague, who says that the double-dated bill is one of the few known in existence.

Al Steele The day will soon arrive when a MAG-13 pilot can climb into the cockpit of an A4D Skyhawk, maneuver his craft to extreme altitudes, experience an engine malfunction and instantly bring his craft to a mid-air standstill to correct his trouble, and then continue on his super-sonic way. Such an impossible situation will become commonplace through the use of a recently arrived Weapon System Flight Trainer now being readied by the Station's Link Trainer Branch. Officially tagged Device 2F53, the Skyhawk replica is a trailerized Skyhawk trainer. The principal mission of the training device is to instruct Skyhawk pilots in proper procedures required to accomplish missions under emergency conditions they might encounter in actual flight. The device housed in a 40-foot trailer is provided with a full scale replica of the cockpit section of an A4D Skyhawk with all controls and most instrument characteristics fully simulated. Using variable intensity external lighting and a translucent canopy, varying conditions of daylight and clouds are simulated. Sounds associ- ated with jet engine start, taxi, take-off and flight are realistically simulated. Raymond Parrish, technical representative for. MELPAR, Inc., is presently readying the flight trainer for use. The trainer, when operational,, will be controlled by the Station's Link Trainer Branch under NCOIC GySgt. Joseph Previe.

A turbine jet engine will power an aircraft crash fire truck being remodeled for the Navy. The modification will fit a Boeing 502 gas turbine engine into a Navy MB-5 crash truck. The engine, which develops 330 horsepower, weighs only 325 pounds. This is about 90 percent less than the standard crash truck engine. It is expected that the fire apparatus will be able to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 30 seconds or less and be able to "drive into" a fire with its turret foam nozzle in full operation and hand line operable if required. Jet-driven fire trucks and aerial ladder trucks have been built previously for municipal fire departments, but the modified MB-5 will be the first of its kind for the military.

In more general terms, Hawaii's tuberculosis infected rate is one out of every two -or 50 percent of the people in the Islands today are infected with the TB germ.
