WHITE FALCON
Saturday, March 7, 1964

The Chaplain A Corner
By Chaplain H. W. Holland, Lt. Cdr., USN
As a source of spiritual encouragement to those who
find difficulty in living for Christ in a military environ-
ment, the testimony of Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison, U.S.
Army (retired), is submitted.
“It is wonderful to be a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ,
and I am exceedingly thankful that God has graciously led
me to saving faith in Christ. In'5*
the Bible, the Word of God, the
Lord has promised that anyone
forgiven his sin and its consequ-
ences, has been given eternal life,
and entirely of His own gracious
kindness, in spite of the fact that
I am, of course, unworthy, as is
every other person.
“God gives us who believe in
Christ a daily personal experience
which is convincing evidence of
the reality of the new life in
Christ. I find that God changes
my life and gives me victory over
the evil weakness of my human
nature. I have found by experi-
ence that God does give joy, peace
of mind, and absolute assurance
for the future. Anyone who has
this confidence can face the future
without fear, worry, or doubt.
“I hope that some who read
this will understand that my ex-
perience has been real. It is not
philosophy; it is not fatalism; it
is nothing but taking at His word
the Omnipotent God who controls
in all details everything that is
in the universe, and who loves
to do good things for men in spite
of their enmity against Him.”
Number 1
Your Right To Vote
FROM THE SERVICE INFORMA-
TION OFFICER
Since 1964 is a national election
year, a series of articles will be
published weekly to assist military
personnel and civilian personnel
in knowing their rights and pri-
vileges regarding absentee voting.
Under Public Law 296 “The
Federal Voting Assistance Act of
1965,” the Secretary of Defense,
as Presidential designee, coordi-
nates a voting assistance program
designed to help these persons vote
by absentee ballot when their duty
or service requires them to be
away from their legal voting
places at election time.
As specifically listed in the
Voting Assistance Act, these per-
sons are:
* Members of the Armed Forces
while in the active service, and
their snouses and dependents.
* Members of the Merchant
Marine of the United States, and
their spouses and dependents.
* Civilian employees of the
United States in all categories
serving outside the territorial
limits of the several States of
the United States and District of
Columbia, and their spouses and
dependents when residing with or
accomnanying them, whether or
not the employee is subject to
the civil service laws and the Clas-
sification Act of 1949, and wheth-
er or not paid from funds appro-
priated by Congress.
* Members of religious groups
or welfare agencies assisting mem-
bers of the Armed Forces who are
officially attached to and serving
with the Armed Forces, and their
spouses and dependents.

STATES RIGHTS
The Federal Voting Assistance
Act sets up recommended proce-
dures for absentee voting by
specified categories of people as
guidance for the States. But each
State makes its own voting latvs
and these vary from State to
State. It is highly important, there-
fore, to consult the summaries of
the laws of the State in question
as given in these articles before
attempting to apply for registra-
tion or absentee ballot.
Spent $20 Million
The National Society for Cripp-
led Children and Adults and its
affiliates have invested $20 mil-
lion in facilities and services for
the physically handicapped, ac-
cording to a report by the organ-
ization. You can help by contri-
buting to the 1964 Easter Seal
Campaign.
Editorial
Red Cross *'Tliere‘*
For Those In Need
If a journalist were to compile a history on social wel-
fare he would be duty bound to include references to the
Red Cross on almost every page following its inception
date in 1863. The Red Cross story is one of continuous aid
to the economically depressed, the homeless, the sick, the
bereaved. In some instances the Red Cross story imbodies
the struggle of man against na-^
ture. It has struggled alongside
National Guardsmen in their
fight to turn back the destructive
waters of the mighty Mississippi.
It has helped Chilean peons build
a new life from an earthquake’s
destruction.
The Red Cross is also the story
of growing up in America, wheth-
er a nroduct of the metropolis or
the ivy draned small town. It is
the story of the Watkins family,
whose house was razed one cold
winter night. Red Cross was at
hand to relieve the family, and
to help ease their worries of the
future. It is the stor- of the widow
Grenfell, the ailing woman in her
seventies who needed an opera-
tion but couldn’t afford it. Red
Cross was there to help defray
expenses and insure the widow
comfort in her declining years.
Your Personal Affairs
(A weekly series from the Service
Information Office designed to
keep the serviceman aware of im-
portant information regarding
personal affairs.)
You may assure yourself an
income in later life, or you may
insure your survivors of an in-
come or lump sum, depending
upon the insurance plan of your
choice.
Low cost Government life in-
surance is available for eligible
service members and veterans. If
you fall in one of these categories
don’t underestimate the import-
ance of this protection.
New Government life insurance
is available to active duty per-
sonnel only in some limited cases.
If you were separated from the
Armed Forces on or after Janu-
ary 1, 1957 with a service-con-
nected disability, and you meet
certain health requirements you
may be eligible to get up to
$10,000 of Government life insur-
ance, or if you have less than
a $10,000 policy it may be in-
creased to that maximum.
Application for your life in-
surance must be made within one
year after determination of ser-
vice-connected disability date by
the Veterans Administration. A
service-connected disability is
necessary for application.
Personnel who were in the
Armed Forces before April 25,
1951, and who on or after that
date had Government life insur-
ance that had elapsed or been
cash surrendered may be eligible
to reinstate or replace it while
on active duty or 120 days there-
after. See your insurance officer
for further information.
If you had commercial insur-
ance contracts in full force at the
time of your entry into the Service
it is advisable to read all con-
tracts thoroughly to insure their
currency and check the coverage
afforded.
Pay allotments may be made
to cover commercial life insurance
premiums. The Services however,
do not sponsor any commercial
life insurance companies and your
allotment does not show favor to
one company over another.
Marine Corporal Richard C.
Deaver had this to say about the
ARC: “When I was first hospita-
lized at the U. S. Naval Hospital,
Yokosuka, I was in an isolation
ward. I and the other patients
just waited for the Red Cross
workers to come in with recrea-
tion. They brought a change in
scenery and brightened everybody
up.”
From Corporal Patrick En-
right: “Recently I had an occasion
to turn to the Red Cross for help
in a sickness in the family and
found them ready and willing to
help, both physically and financial-
ly in getting health reports,
doctors recommendations for em-
ergency leave, and transportation
to my home as soon as I return-
ed to the United States.”
The American Red Cross will
continue to administer aid to the
needy, through your help. Good
deeds are costly, but with the Red
Cross the “good” far outweighs
the “cost”. Give generously to
the Red Cross this month during
their annual fund drive.
