BUT ITS IT AND HURLTHE THERE CUSS IT, 1 1 ieurr IS ttT at SUCH A DISTANT COMPLAINT, THE AT IX 'COMPLAIN OKJE COMPUTER. HASN'T n-r DROPPED TO picked it oprr, PRACTICALLY Few things astonish me more than the happy situation that prevails at the Kilauea Military Camp up at the Volcano. It is a situation that is not common in the military but is perhaps a prelude of good-things that are to come. In the past, I have been always somewhat annoyed by the wide breach that separates the commissioned officer from the enlisted man in our various military services. This wide chasm exists for only one reason: the rather foolish notion that familiarity must necessarily breed contempt.

And that it is difficult to drink with a man one day and share the pleasure of his company and then order him to his probable death the next. Familiarity, of course, does not" always breed-contempt unless the individuals concerned are contemptuous and of themselves deserve such contempt. And in our military, each man knows the part that he must play if the whole is to survive. In any extremity, the commander must command. The commanded must obey.

Else all will perish and security fly. SUCH A separation of military rank may have been imperative in the past when there was a great social and cultural difference between the military officer and the common soldier. Perhaps even now such a difference obtains in other less democratic societies. But it certainly does not obtain in the United States. Only too often in this country, the common soldier is intellectually and culturally equal if not superior to the officer who must command him.

As a consequence, separation by rank is absurd in America and certainly should be abolished. The soldier. At least as difficult -as it is. in the shower. The only noticeable difference is that the general is usually older.

But then he might be a sergeant. The private is nearly always younger. But then he might be a lieutenant. Who can tell? I discussed this particular subject at length with Maj. Joe Lacey, the camp commander, and with his extremely able Sgt.

Victorine, who happens to be an Island boy fr.om the wilds of Kalihi. They both expressed their very great satisfaction with these informal conditions that are available at KMC. HERE OFFICERS and men come to relax and to enjoy what is perhaps the most unique beauty in the entire country. The motto at the camp is that everyone is a VIP, and that is exactly how everyone is treated regardless of rank or of station. In this if nothing else, the Kilauea Military Camp is in itself unique and may actually herald good things that are in the offing for our military services.

The Camp is a place of great beauty and lies at the threshold of Pele's vast palaces. Here, the four military arms cooperate with each other. The Army provides the -management. The Navy cooks. The Marines do the security and the Air Force does the driving.

At least, that is what I understand because there is no way to tell the difference between the. four services except at Reveille and Retreat when two Marines in uniform pay the twice daily respect that is due our national colours. Else than this, there is not a uniform in sight. And this may really be all for the best. glory of this country is that we have achieved a society that is almost classless.

IF CLASS does exist at all, it is measured by wealth and is thus never closed to the lower economic levels. A man may rise as far as he is able, and no one disparages a man his humble birth nor despises him for his former poverty. Instead, these are very often-the criteria by which a man's true worth is gauged. A general is an American citizen. A private is also an American citizen.

Politically, there is no difference between the two. Nor between an admiral and a sailor. Neither should there be any difference socially and especially not in the military. On duty, I can understand that a wide difference must exist between the general and the private as also between the admiral and the sailor. Off duty, this should not and must not be so in this democracy.

To contend otherwise is to court yesterday and to ignore the changed conditions of this hour. AT KILAUEA Military Camp, I found these differences of rank to be minimized to the extent that they hardly exist at all. Civilian clothing is the order of the day. And in an aloha shirt, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between a general and a I Freddy Ill III .1 HHIIHIILIMMWIHI I -TWINKLE LITTLE ill- rHoW i novj i WHAT BETTER THt PhovJI THAT IVONDEV- HAVE YOU eoTTOSPtf DINKY" WHAT--KWOCK) VoU V) ABOUT WHftTS Up fiuTTiH --H IT" lRElTlRe.fFJS lip ot V(jfx js Dick Tracy oAIlso A 2-WAY wrist HANDS ON AND THIS THE IS FOR TV, WHICH SHE FASTENS BUSTER.

"And what's your name?" asked Miss Price. "I'm Dr. Weitz, Leontyne," beamed the man.

"No," went on the diva, "I mean your first name." "Uh Ernie," he replied. With a bleak little smile, Miss Price said icily, "Goodnight, Ernie." IN ONE EAR: Letting bygones be bygones is a fine old S.F. tradition at the end of a campaign, but I don't think this will apply to Sheriff Matt Carberry and his dogged opponent, Richard Hongisto. No love lost there none at all. "I wouldn't give him a job as hairdresser in.

"They were given to the office, not the man Iguess," he said mournfully -as he mailed them back. Fun City West The Church of the Advent of Christ the King on Fell Street, founded in 1858, now keeps its doors locked all day after too many thefts, too much vandalism.

"Who catered it?" somebody asked. Joey replied; "Alcoholics Anonymous." When the cast of "The Incompara-' ble Max" celebrated with Japanese food at Rocky H.

EARL'S PEARLS Everybody's so diet-conscious now that if someone says you're not half the man you used to be, it's a compliment.
