EDITOR'S CORNER Easter Message

With a deep sense of spiritual joy we celebrate another Eastertide, as Christians thro.ighout the world acclaim Christ's victory over sin and death. The note of gladness tells us that Easter is God's feast. "the day that the Lord has made." God made the day for *lie glorification of His Divine Son, and the Risen Christ is a pledge of Christian victory.

God's enemies are the mortal enemies of Truth. They surrounded Him on earth, seeking to entrap Him, plotting to destroy Him, and bribing one of His own to sell Him for thirty pieces of silver.

No religious fact in the entire course of history has been more violently assailed than that of the resurrection of Christ. Men who have been consumed with the strange passion for disproving the truth of Christianity have spent years of their lives reading the works of other unbelievers, trying to find inconsistencies in the Gospel stories of the resurrection, making up their own extensive briefs to disprove this one fact.

Once a man perversely decides that he does not want to live under Christian restraints and that he wants no one else to do so either, he must attack the resurrection of Christ. If he can produce one good doubt about the resurrection he can make the whole of Christianity unworthy of credence.

But no really solid doubt has ever been produced against the truth of the resurrection. The chief priests who did away with Christ on the Cross tried to spread the rumor that the soldiers guarding the tom.° fell asleep and a few fanatical followers of Christ carried His body away. Such an act was far beyond their power. If the soldiers were asleep, it is remarkable that they were not court-martialed for sleeping on post.

In the history of fife world, there was never a more ridiculous spec- tacle than that of a hundred soldiers stationed to keep an eye on a

corpse. No other grave on the face of the earth was ever watched because the dead man said that he would rise in three days. But here guards are set, lest the dead walk, the silent speak, and the pierced heart quicken to the throb of life. They might just as well guard against the sunrise.

The resurrection of Christ is a truth worth believing. This is the fact that changed the rock at the door of the tomb from a blocking boulder to a triumphal arch.

In a sense, Christ had to rise from the dead. He had made the resurrection a test of His Divinity, Without His resurrection, His doc- trine and His life would have seemed to men only another episode in the long victory of psuedo-prophets. ". . . he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." The exaltation of His resurrection was God's only fitting answer to the humiliation of Calvary.

Easter is God's way of dramatizing the foundation of the virtue of hope for all His human creatures. We are all accustomed, after St. Paul, to consider it the feast of faith. It provides, in the resurrection, the final, clinching argument for accepting Christ as both the divine Redeemer and the divine Teacher for mankind.

May +he Risen Christ and Triumphant King bestow His choicest blessings upon us so that our Easter will be a blessed and happy one.

Easter Sunday Eleven Years Ago;

Fourth Marines Landed on Okinawa By MSGT. ROY a CARBINE

That other Easter Sunday which fell on Aoril I was a long time ago

Eeven and two wars ago to the day, this Sunday, it was "L Day

at Okinawa. On the eve of depar+ure of some 8 000 Kaneohe Marines for Opera

+ion Mauka and another amphibious landing, it is coincident that f the first time in 11 years Easter falls the same date it did that first morning off Ryukyu Bette

As a youth in uniform, the graying sergeant knew Haiti and Nicaragua. He tried to sign up for the unpleasaranesss of 1'.417-18, but was rejected because he couldn't convince the recruiting sergeant he shaved more than once a month.

Now, as he watched units of the Task Force moving into the staging area, preparatory to embarkation for Mauka, he observed that history vs a. repeating itself for the 4th Marines this Easter.

"They were there. 11 years ago, too," he said. 'Part of the 6th Division. commanded by Maj. Gen. Lem Shepherd. I wasn't with them, but I remember thinking that morning, from aboard the ship I was on, it was the earliest Easter Service I ever attended . .

have held him in bed that morning at four-thirty a.m.

On deck, the scores of blacked- out ships in the convoy were only blots of deeper darkness. Engines had been slowed to a point that only steerasTeway was maintained, and the sea slapped loudly at our transports wallowing hull.

Ground Officers Trained in Air Observers Course

Every Marine ground officer an aerial observer, might well be called the goal of the airborne terrain appreciat'on school now being held by the 1st Proviaionql. Nfarine Air-Ground Task Force r ere.

These officers are not primarily observers, they are compare grade officers from the 4th Marines tReinf.) Under the newest con- septs of amphibious assault they are being trained to recognize from aircraft, and in some cases from aerial photos, importan- combat terrain features, such as fields of fire. approach lanes. oh- tacles and sometimes communi-

cations sites. The young Marine officers are

also leering, in the one - week school, how to plan helicopter assault operations, select landing zones. analyze terrain with an eye to helicopter assaults as well as the organization. limitations and tasks of a helicopter squadron. Much of the student's time is actually spent in airborne study.

One of the valuable features of the school. according to its officer in charge. Maj. Richard E. Roach, is the training ground officers get while aloft.

They are sent up in observation planes and helicopters of HMR 161, MAG-13 to observe island terrain. While flying, instructors insert problem factors by radio which the student must then solve, problems such as changing loca- tion, change of mission and change of tactics.

Operation MAUKA will have a core of trained observers as a result of the terrain courses completed prior to the exercise.

HUKILAU-Kaneohe Marines and civilians from Kailua are shown pulling in a huge net that is loaded with a variety of edible fish. A hukilau is a native fishing spree during which hundreds of fish are caught. Approximately 2,500 Ka- neohe Marines, who are specially ;nvited by Kaneohe and Kailua business groups, are expected to -attend the three-hour celebration April 21. Besides the tradit:onal hukilau there will be stage entertainment by prominent radio and TV personalities. (Photo by TSgt. W. ;Aahoney)

BEACHMASTERS--Preparations for the coming maneuvers on Kauai in April continued as "8" Company, 3rd Shore Party Battalion, practiced the supply situation of Operation Mauka et Bellows Air Force Base last week. The Short Party Marines simulated the Kauai beachhead and spent the week rehearsing different situations whcih may arise on the Garden Island.

`Impossible' Terrain on Kauai Will Be Attacked During Mauka By Using 'Copter Assault Concept

Operation Mauka will utilize the whirlybird infantry assault team from D-day to the concluding thrust of the 1st Provisional Marine Air- Ground Task Force maneuver, largest exercise of its kind ever held in

the islands. Through this week's preliminary

loading, helicopters of Marine Helicopter Squadron 161, Marine Aircraft Group 13 and units of the 4th Marines (Beira.) will be united as a helicopter assault force.

During the initial phases of the problem when it is necessary to take the air strip at Barking Sands. Task Force Commander, Brig. Gen. Edward C. Dyer will call on the Helicopter Assault Force to move in and take the field.

Following action in the airfield assault. helicopters will pro- ject men of the 2nd and 3rd Bat- talions of the 4th Marines to the crest of cliffs impossible to climb. It will be a 900 foot vertical thrust nosnet nue while D -day fighting is heavy.

Throughout the exercise the helicopters will be standing by on

training and on to the final back

call for troop movements in any tactical situation as cargo carriers and in case they are needed for emergency evacuation.

Operation MAUKA is part of the continuing schedule of amphibious training of the Task Force. The experiences of many previous smaller exercises have been directed toward the coming attack.

HMR-161 goes into the operation still fresh from Operation Firm Lirk at Bangkok, Thailand. where in cooperation with two Japan-based squadrons a rein forced battalion of Marines was carried 80 miles inshore to posi- tions at a Thai airfield.

Full scale operations will begin on Kauai D-day, a date as yet un- announced by Marine planners.

Beachmasters for Kauai 'Invasion',

Marines from 3rd Shore Party Bn.

Furnish Ship to Shore Supply Line By SGT. BOB McLEAN

An invasion force without supplies ..; helpless. Keeping 5 000 men and their vehicles supplied with rations, gasoline,

and ammunition is a major operation which entails planning, personnel and practice. "B" Company, 3rd Short Party Bn. has all three.

The unit, which is distinguished by the red dots sewed on their legs

and backs will have charge of beach security and equipment handling during Operation Mauka.

After the initial assault waves have landed on the Barking Sands area, the company's heavy equipment will begin clearing dump areas, constructing roads, and, together with its Naval Beach Group Detachment provide beach- ing ports at the ocean to facilitate the unloading of supplies.

After the priority supplies have reached the beach via amphibian tractors and Navy handing craft, and communications have been es- tablished. the Shore Party Ma- rines will begin hauling the main hulk of supplies from the cargo ships off shore.

In addition, small units of Shore Party men will handle loading and unloading of airborne troops and equipment, both by

Exchange Cafeteria Closes Temporarily

The Marine Exchange cafeteria will be closed Apr. 2 through Apr. 13 for kitchen renovation.

The patio snack bar will be open from 7:00 a.m. till 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday: 7:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.. Sat- urdays and 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Sundays.

Sandwiches, chili and a lim- ited cold plate lunch will be served on the day mobiles and in the patio. The night mobile will not be in operation during this time.

The R.C.T. branch of the Ma- rine Corps Exchange will be closed Apr. 4 through Apr. 11, 1956.

All services of the exchange branch will be secured with the exception of the barber shop which will remain open with re- duced force at the normal hours.

helicoper and transport planes.

Once their primary mission on the beachhead is accomplished, Shore Party's heavy equipment is then assigned to the engineering branches wherever needed.

But their main mission on the beach continues with issuing of supplies and evacuation seaward of casualties after the wounded have been treated and processed by evacuation stations.

Shore Party also cooperates with the embarkation staff in the supply' system aboard ship. Cer- tain supplies are needed early in the operation and must be loaded last so that they are readily 'available.

Disposition of equipment and the landing craft needed to bring it ashore must be mapped out in advance. Beach defenses and corn- munication with the cargo hand- lers aboard ship are planned long before the landing.

But planning and training go hand in hand. Since arriving here in Feb. 1955 the Shore Party company Itas worked hard at construc- tion work around the island.

Air transport lifts and smaller helicopter operations in addition to the normal phases of company and battalion size amphibious landings have helped Shore Party prepare for the Kauai maneuvers.

LAUNCH BOATS ... PREPARE TO DIVE . . .

SILENT APPROA

INSPECTION TIME-Before the reconnaissance platoon boarded the submarine USS Parch they were thoroughly inspected by Col. James M. Masters Sr., 4th Marines (Reinf.) CO. In the above picture Col Masters inspects PFC Kenneth V. Esse, who is in the first boat team. Standing to the left of Col. Masters is 1st Lt. Normand A. Cote. platoon CO. Dur- ing the inspection, which lasted for about an hour, Col. Masters inspected the personnel, the new fibre boats, outboard motors, radio equipment and jeeps, asking every man questions about himself and his job.

4.1 ..773".7.-

BOAT DRILL-At the order of Col. James M. Masters Sr. at a recent inspection, boat team number one takes off with its new fibre boat across the regimental parade ground. All nine men of the boat team lift the boat together at the order of the team leader and step off in unison. When the recons land at shore at night their first task is to hide their boats. Often they have to run the boats off the beach to hide them in the underbrush. Speed is of utmost importance in order to elude enemy observation, and speed and coordination come only from long hours of hard Frining, for which the recons are noted.

TIGHT QUARTERS-The USS Perch is one of two troop.carring sub- mdrines in the Navy. As the above picture shows, the troops and the crew that she carries, of necessity, live in tight quarters. The members of the reconnaissance platoon shared forward and midships sleeping quarters with members of the crew. Working during the day and at night the recons did not spend too much time in their berthing spaces. When they were there. they spent a lot of time swapping sea stories with the Navy crewmen.

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC, COFFEE! - The Navy crewmen found able competitors in the Marine amphibians as far as coffee drinking was concerned. In this picture PFC Ken.leth V. Esse helps himself to a piping hot cup after two hours of night work in the choppy surf area of Makaha beach. Between meals the galley was the meeting place for coffee and snacks, one of the highlights of submarine life. The recons never tasted food to equal the dolphin's fare. Althoe3h one man went on mess duty each cay. the recons would have been satisfied to stay on the Perch for months as far as chow was concerned.

OUT OF THE HATCH-As soon as the Perch surfaced, Navy crewmen and Marines emerged from the forward and conning-tower hatches, inflating the fibre boats, stowing the light gear and launching them. As soon as the hatches were battened down, the sub would dive again. In this picture, the recons are practicing speed in getting out of the forward hatch. In the background, Navy crewmen are inflating the boats. Many speed trials were run, cutting down appreciably the time that the sub was above the surface.

STROKE!-Boat team two, under the leadership of Cpl. Robert D.

Hickman, boat team leader, moves out in boat practice off Wainae Beach. The recons have just recently acquired three new fibre boats to replace their rubber boats. There are packets around the side of the boat used as a knee grip when the rowers straddle the outer edge of the boat to paddle. Paddling together is of utmost importance for speed and efficiency. Swim trunks are worn (shown above) in all practice missions, thereby keeping individual combat gear dry and in shape for emergencies.

OIL THROUGH THE SURF ONTO THE BEACH come scout swimmers, Cpl. Joseph G. Rizzio, left, and PFC Girard F. Brentari. In the darkness of night on a regular mission, two scout swimmers are dispatched about 300 yards from the beach. The bo,ts hold until they get a

favorable signal from the swimmers to proceed on into shore. It is the responsibility of the swimmers to check the immediate beach area for aggressors. If they run into resistance they must move and find a spot of beach where the boats can come in unmolested. Here again, con- stant training pays off.

STRATEGY PLANNERS - The platoon leader, the platoon sergeant and the three squad leaders study a map of Kauai, making plans for the coming Mauka mission. Left to right, they are Cpls. Robert D.

Hickman, Bernard L. Elias and Doyle W. Duvoll; SSgt. Matthew F.

Hardiman and 1st Lt. Normand A. Cote. The recons will be meeting the aggressive activities of their own breed in the form of the 1st Am- phibious Reconnaissance Co. when they make their surprise landing

on Kauai. That is one of the reasons they are spending so much time planning a clever scheme of maneuver for their undercover mission.

WOMEN'S HIKE P-7

Friday. March 30. 1956

in the ,.CAILDS

JERRY SELLERS

Watch out Carol Heis: watch out Tenley Albright! Your figure- skating crowns are in danger.

Beret look out, Shelley Mann and Esther Williams, a new-corner time--challenge your swimming abilities.

Judith Devlin may also have to fear for her badminton laurels: because a potential challenger has entered the scenes.

And Gussie Moran, with her lace whatchamaycallits, better throw in the towe' tennis.

Because I strawberry-blonde named Nancy Marie Sellers has made her debut into this world.

Born lest Friday morning (7:21 a.m.), the pert little female impressed all spectators with her seven pounds, 121/2 ounces and a mighty loud, clear voice.

So, in a decade or less, look for Nancy Marie to be cutting up the sports scene. And if you look far enough, you'll see proud momma and poppa Sellers remembering beck to March 23, 1956.

An interesting note comes from George Ray who is mentoring the Kaneohe (not I-!swaii) Marine track and field teem.

It seems that after the Leathernecks literally ran away with the first two pre-season meets over at the University, the Army doesn't want to enter any of its teems agains the Marines tomorrow at UH's Cooke Field.

So that makes the locals kinda in a spot. They're all set to go on the big exercise and want to get into one more meet before they leave with their respective units.

The K-Bay wrestlers (see top of this page) did pretty well in the opening night of the AN-Mar finals, winning four and losing the same number.

They are up against some of the best wrestlers in the country and are making an impressive showing for Hawaii to the people there.

More and more, sportsmen on Mainland stations cid bases are becoming aware of the Marines from Hawaii.

No matter the sport, Hawaii is always a strong power, and one to respect.

Here's for a big amount of success for our matmen in Florida. And for the coaches, Lou Habash and Bob Maiden.

The softball picture looks increasingly better as the days pass. This column has been asked why softball seems too important

with baseball coming up soon. The question has always come from someone who wasn't here for

last year's season. For an answer to the query, we always direct the inquisitive to a

spectator of :ast season .

At present, there are four military teams on the island who DEFI- NITELY want to be entered in a league.

Several more indicated a desire to do so.

Things aren't looking up in the Infra- Station sports office. Lt. Ted F'ing, I-S sports director. was over at Tripler for.a

few days this week for a checkup and gunny John Boden, NCO- I-C, was checked into sickbay with a bad cold.

So answering the phone was PFC Joe Cinelli, who greeted callers with "Intra-Station sports office, PFC Cinelli, sports director, NCO-I-C, manager, trainer and janitor, speaking, sir."

But, speedy recovery to both Fling and Boden.

If you've been following the sports pages of the various dailies, you're aware of how much emphasis is being placed on top-notch col- lege clubs and players, regardless of sport.

This is Olympic year -1956. Olympic competition was originally a friendly sports demonstration

of all countries. Today, it is-in a sense-a bid for world supremacy. The best players of each and every sport are being selected for

berths on Olympic teams and the U.S. wants to be sure it will be well represented

Probably never before in history has sports played so important a

part throughout the free-and not so free-- worlds. In our country, members of the various Olympic teams are NOT

sponsored financially by the government. It is all through private contributions. The men and women of the U.S. in the Olympics are not being paid.

They are representing their country because they love it. And it s an honor to be picked for such representation. Maybe that s why our country stands head and shoulders above a

others as the greatest in the world.

THIN-CLADS CAPTURE UH MEET

FOR SECOND TIME IN 2 WEEKS Despite the University of Hawaii's

Skippy Dyer, George Ray's Kane- ohe Marine track and field team galloped away with a four-way, pre-season meet Saturday after- noon at the University's Cooke Field.

The local Leathernecks compiled 991s points to 431-2 for the 35th In- fantry, 40 for UH and 36 for the 77th Infantry.

Ex-Marine Skippy Dyer. repeating his previous week's performance. turned in 10.1 time for the 100-yard dash. 22.3 in the 220 sprint and leaped 21'3" to cop first place in the broad jump. He also ran on the third-place half -mile relay team.

Jerry Howell and Bill Peek were standouts for the Marines.

Howell took high honors in the In, with a time of 2:4111.9, with team- state Jim Reid pushing him to the wire.

Pert captured the mile event in 4:45.3, with teammate Vance Park- burs second.

Phil Abram, of the Mrrines, and Frank Gaffney, of the 27th, tied on the high jump event, each reach- ing 6'1".

Two Marines, coach George Ray and Ken Esse also shared top honors in the two-mile run, both with times of 10:39.3.

The Marines captured half of all events and dominated the majority.

Equipment Here For Recreation And Relaxation

K-Bay personnel will benefit by the latest addition to the special services department.

This week was "Operation Un- load" for Station special services as athletic and gymnastic equipment by the boxes was received and uncrated.

Four trampolins highlight the gear which will be available for

use by all personnel here in Hangar 103.

Exercise bikes weight-lifting sets, wall-pulley weights. and a multitude cf other 'keep-in-shape' devices will be put into operation soon.

It's not all for recreation, though, as several organizations aboard the Station tentatively plan to use the facilities for training purposes.

According to Lt. Ted Fling. Intra-Station sports director, the shipment is part of a Corps-wide physical fitness program.

The hangar facilities will be open in the near future for after- hours enjoyment.

The WINDWARD MARINE will publish the opening date as soon as release?

GOLF

By JIMMY UKAUKA

First of all, hearty belated congratulations to the winners of the Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron golf tourney completed two weeks ago.

Walter Lawson wound up being the winner, taking the nod over Bob Calvert in the 36-hole finals.

The "Consolation Flight" winner was Jerry Harris who defeat- ed Jock Horcher Sr. on the last hole in the finals_ Congratulations to all four. It took a lot of work and good golf to get to the finals in this one.

Getting back to the "Ladder," there's just one thing we can say. Charley Alamida finally got "dumped" from the number four spot on the ladder which he has held from time immemorial. Ben Martin, after being knocked com- pletely off the ladder by Paul Ochs, bounced back and literally "reached for the moon" in chal- lenging Alamida way up in the fourth spot from off the ladder. It worked! -and now Charley is

outside looking in. And Bill (no relation to the Sil-

ver Scot) Armour warded off an attack by Chuck Jones and rallied to win the challenge match after being two-down on the front nine. Armour then bowed in defeat to Ralph Whitney who had previously disposed of Al Williams to get on the ladder.

Whitney, however, is no longer on the ladder as Chuck Jones de- feated him recently.

Several other challenge matches proved ineffective. Charles Heath challenged Ben Martin and failed: Wiggiesworth played "Sweet-swinging" Bill Gardner and bit the dust. and Paul Ochs' at- tempt at Walter Lawson proved futile.

Jankauski. Whitney and Green have all challenged Bill Armour. Walter Lawson and Ben Martin have both challenged Steve War- ren; Heath has challenged Perry Jensen. and Al Williams has challenged Ken Smock. RESULTS OF THE SWEEPSTAKES

Charles Beilois won Saturday's " Sweepstakes " fir'nq 87-22-65. Beilois led Dr. Trcutt by two strokes as Trout+ she+ 86-19--67. Catozza 88-20-68 and Ray Fitz- simmons 86-18--68 deadiocked for third place. Tied for fifth was Dobvns 94-25-69 and Allsopp 84-15-65. All received balls.

Beilois again came through with a sparkling triumph in Sunday's tournament firing an 84-22--62 for first place honors. Jack Con- ger was second with 85-20-65, and was followed by Homer Hut- chinson 104-35-69 and Ralph Whitney 85- I 6-69.

Out of every one of these tour- naments come some scintillating remarks. Last weekend I couldn't help but hear a high-handicapper who was one of the first to post his score in the "Sweepstakes" tournament, walk away from the counter and confide to his friend that he was in the lead at that time.

About a half-hour later this same individual came in to check how he stood. Several scores had since been posted, and after peer- ing at the score chart, this individual walked over to this same friend of his, and in complete se- riousness said: "Dog - gone it, somebody just came in and nosed me out by 12 Orbits."

By JACK FISHER

Largely through the efforts cf Station special services, the Aku- Marines are now the happy pos- sessors of a potentially seaworthy fishing boat capable of carrying divers out to the good fishing grounds. tdii

The boat, which was previously in the custody of the Coral Gyp- sies skindiving club of Barber's Point has now been officially trans_ (erred and is berthed at Special services boat house.

She's 28 feet long with eight waterproof compartments, and if.

built of a sutrdiness which is made to order for the rough waters of windwbrd Oahu.

Unfortunately, through lack of use and maintenance, the boat has fallen into a state of uisrepair, and the Aku-Marines are planning an extensive work schedule prior to recommissioning for skindiving service.

With five coats of unwanted paint on her hull, it appears that some real conscientious lessons in paint-chipping methods must be learned from the Navy experts, and this is just the beginning. The power plant, fittings and interior surfaces require a similar amount of workiAg over.

SEVEN POUNDER Wayne Merry, one of the newer

trembeis of the club, brought in a handsome red parrot fisn last week weighing over seven pounds. This unuerwater beauty caused Wayne a few moments of doubt and near-frustration when it tore itself loose from the spear and finned to an almost successful es- cape.

Fortunately, Wayne was able to hunt it down and gaff it securely.

Wayne is an ardent skindiver who seldom passes up an oppor- tunity to engage in the sport. When on-station waters become too rough for skindiving enjoyment, it's a safe bet he's found another area where he can hunt fish.

WATER SAFETY One of the main purposes of any

skindiving club is to promote water safety, and to this end the Hawaiian Skin Diving Association has requred each member club to appoint a safety instructor. The Aku - Marines have continually worked along safety lines and have maintained a clean bill of health ever since the club's formation, over a year ago. When it comes to such an important aspect, however, no individual or organization can afford to rest complacently on past record.

The safety program must be ever subjected to review for pos- sible improvement. With this in mind. the club recently purchased a number of underwater safety manuals which cover virtually all known information on the subject.

Through use of these manuals, home study and club discussion periods followed by written exam- inations, a safety program is planned which will provide all members with more skindiving "know how" than they could pick up in years of diving and gab ses- sions.

PAINFUL PRESSURE Divers who have experienced

painful sensations in the ears from the increased pressure of the water against the ear drums might take comfort from the fact that water pressure doubles the normal atmospheric pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch at the 33- foot level, but below that, pressure increases at the rate of an additional 14.7 pounds for every 33 feet.

Thus the increase drops percent- age-wise from an increase of 100 to 50 to 25 per cent and so forth.

OW, OH, 000!-These tired-but-happy ladies of WMD-3 tramp their way through a hike held Tuesday at Bellows Field. The jaunt was officially to he five miles, but according to the girls making file trip, it must have been at least 50. Lt. Marge Russell led the in- crement.

Females Find KHON to B'cast Boonies Rough Service Baseball

In Hike Here Here in Islands I'm happy when 'I'm marching- -

50 miles a day-with a real good friend-to the journey's end-10, 20. 30, 40, 50. miles a day.

Th's may not have been what they were singing, but members of the Women Marine Detach- ment-3 probably thought they WERE marching 50 miles a day.

And it wasn't for fun. The training order listed the -jaunt- us a conditionine hike. so the local lady Leal hernecks arose early Tuesday and Thursday mornings and boarded buses to Bellows Field, where the fun began.

Approximately 18 girls went Tuesday, under the supervision of Lt. Marge Russell, WMD-3 executive officer.

As Sgt. Mary Stafford pat it, 6 6 No chow-just water can- teens, and we marched through the wooded area along the beach . . . right in the - sand. Musta been 50 miles!"
