REFLECTIONS
If we would be great in act we must also be great in
thought. If we would be great in thought we must also
spend time in meditating. The blessed man of Scripture
is the one who meditates day and night on the law of God.
Take time right now for reflection:
“Reflection on, the greatest'^
sin . . . Fear
The best day . . . Today
The most agreeable companion,
one who would not have you any
different from what you are.
The greatest deceiver . . . one
who deceives himself.
The greatest invention of the
devil . . . war.
The easiest thing to do . . .
find fault.
The greatest mistake . . . giving
up.
The most expensive indulgence,
hate.
The greatest stumbling block . .
egotism.
The most ridiculous asset . . .
Pride.
The worst bankrupt. . . the soul
which has lost its enthusiasm.
The meanest feeling of which
any human being is capable . .
feeling bad at another’s success.
The cleverest man . . . one who
always does what he thinks is
right.
The greatest need . . . common
sense.
The greatest puzzle . . . Life.
The greatest thought . . . God.
The greatest thing, bar none,
in all this world. “Love.”
(These reflections were broad-
cast on WCAU-TV in ^Philadelphia
last New Year’s Eve by Mr. John
Facenda.)

History of Communism
Research Is Must
To Quell 'Red Giant’
The result of brevity (required by space limitations and
in the pursuit of reader interest) has been the manifesta-
tions of numerous shortcomings within this series, and no
one is more aware of them than the author.
China, in terms of its fall to the Reds and the successes
and failures of the regime, has1^
been treated all too briefly; the
critical time of Stalin’s overthrow
of Trotsky, the horror of the
purges, the intrigue between Ger-
many and exiled communists dur-
ing WWI, Russia’s Participation
in the Spanish Civil War, the ma-
neuverings of the “collective lead-
ership” which followed Stalin’s
death—all these cried for more
attention than they got.
Southeast Asia and Central and
South America are of immense
importance, yet they were treated
casually. These areas, however,
experience politics so fluid and
volatile that there was no assur-
ance that an up-to-date summary
would still be up-to-date when
that installment reached print.
Too, the more recent the his-
tory, the less likely it is to be
accurate and it is hoped this
series will find application be-
yond these 20 articles.
The fast-moving events of the
1917 revolutions and those devel-
opments immediately preceding
and following WWII are essen-
tially true as related. However,
the necessity of condensation is
responsible for minor anachro-
nisms.
And finally, there may be some
confusion in the reader’s mind
over how and when Russian So-
cialists became Communists. It is
difficult to say at just what point
the word “Communism” supplant-
ed the original descriptive of
“Socialism.”

Your Personal Affairs
Remember The Rules
Being in Iceland we should, from
time to time, renew our acquain-
tance with certain unusual fea-
tures of Icelandic laws, Military
Regulations and Policies. By be-
ing consciously aware of what is
expected of us, we shall be better
equipped to render greater ser-
vice to ourselves, our country, and
our world.
Jurisdiction -—- The Agreed
Area is an international airport
where both American and Ice-
landic law prevail concurrently.
According to the Status of Forces
Agreement under NATO, Icelan-
dic law enforcement agencies in
most instances have primary or
exclusive jurisdiction in those
cases where (1) the offense is
solely between Americans, or of-
fenses against the United States;
(2) or where offenses arise out
of the performance of official du-
ty; (3) or where offenses are pu-
nishable by American law, but
not Icelandic law.
You are reminded that because
of the concurrent jurisdiction, Ice-
landic iPolice have the right to
apprehend, arrest, search your
person and property, interrogate
and interview you, and in certain
cases, confine you. However, if
any of these events should occur,
you have the right to request that
the Shore Patrol be notified im-
mediately. The Shore Patrol will
then notify the Legal Office and
legal assistance will be provided
you.

the squadron and a year later,
took over as the commanding offi-
cer.
The commander got his commis-
sion in the Navy through the
Navy’s V-12 program and the U.S.
Naval Reserve Officers Training
Program at the University of
Southern California. He received
his B. S. degree in Naval Sciences
and was commissioned Ensign in
the U.S. Naval Reserve in Feb-
ruary, 1946.
He is married to the former
Miss Mary B. Davis (a lieutenant
commander in the Navy) and they
have a son, Thomas A., Jr.
Their home is at Jacksonville,
Fla.

How is a President Nominated?
At a national convention, by a
simple majority vote of the party
delegates attending. Delegates are
chosen by a party primary or
at party conventions.
How is a President Elected?
The voters cast their votes for
the President and the Vice Presi-
dent, but actually they vote for
the Electors of the Electoral
College, who are pledged to one
party and its candidates on the
ballot. The Electors then cast their
formal vote for the President and
Vice President.
How many Electoral Votes are
required?
Two hundred seventy electoral
votes are required to win the
Presidential election.
Editorial
Value Of Your Vote:
It’s Freedoms Voice
Why bother? It’s a only a piece of paper. Besides, what
difference does it make to us? We’re in uniform.
Ever hear that sort of talk? Maybe you were doing the
talking. In any case, it doesn’t hold water, not when the
piece of paper is your ballot. What happens on the first
Tuesday in November makes a lot of difference to us. It’s
the day Americans decide who’s going to run our govern-
ment—at national, state or town level.
We decide—that’s the great thing. Millions of Russians
and Chinese and other peoples in police states go through
life envying that privilege which some of us take for grant-
ed. As free Americans we don’t take any pushing around
or funny business from our elected leaders. We put them
in and we can put them out.
And as for being in uniform, that doesn’t make us breed
apart. Service life gives a man a deeper understanding of
duty; we should be the first to see that it’s our duty as
citizens to use out ballot. Wherever we are, we have a
stake in what’s going on at home.
Every state in the Union provides absentee ballots so
we can make ourselves heard. All the services have de-
signated Voting Officers with information about elections
to be held in our particular state.
So there you are—the right that guarantees all other
rights is ours. Let’s not pass it up!
How Many Of Ls
Know Time’s Value
Ever wonder where all the time goes? It is such a busy
world we live in today that often we simply cannot find
the time or energy to work properly.
The fact of the matter, however, is that we waste enough
time each day to get all our work done and still have enough
left over to relax.
Granted, one cannot work continuously throughout the day
without a break or letup at sometime. But is it necessary
to have the day broken up into tiny bits of work and
disproportionate bits of rest?
A job to perform is your main object of the day. Constant
concentration and a mind oriented to the task at hand can
keep you going on the right track.
Sure, Mr. Serviceman, you need that coffee break and
even that idle chatter around the water fountain, but these
things should come second and not first in your work day.
You will find that a little extra effort will pay off in a
job well done and in the time allotted.
Never let time be your enemy. Make friends with it fast.
