WHITE FALCON
Friday, April 9, 1965
by Ltjg Herbert D. Pearson, MSC, USN
Nothing Has Happened
According to the National Vital Statistics Division, about
47,800 people died in automobile accidents in 1964. These
deaths were not restricted to any one age, sex, racial, re-
ligious, economic or other group. The only thing common
to all these deaths was the fact that not one of the persons
involved had ever been killed in an automobile accident
u>-------------------------------
before.
Some of them had ridden in, and
driven, automobiles for many
years; others may have been tak-
ing their first ride. On the day,
or the hour, or the minute before
he was killed, any one of the old-
sters could have hooked his thumbs
in his suspenders and allowed as
how he had been driving a car for
nigh onto “thutty” years, and
hadn’t been killed in an car wreck
yet.
Similarly, any one of the people
who died of botuism in 1963 could
have claimed they had never been
killed by improperly prepared food
before.
Contracted Polio
Or, take the case of the two
nurseries in New York City
where, a few years ago, about
thirty children contracted polio
and subsequently infected more
than a hundred of their friends,
members of their families, and
casual contacts. A number of
CPO Wives
Club News
by Jo Taulbee
The newly organized Keflavik
CPO Wives’ Club held elections on
Feb. 23.
Officers elected are: President
Helen Watson; Vice President
Roberta Hausauer; Secretary
Mabel Jones; Treasurer Joy Yilek
and Parliamentarian Beverly
Baker.
The coffee hosted by Mrs.
Ralph Weymouth at her home on
March 24, was most enyoyable to
all the CPO wives present. Thanks
to a most delightful hostess.
The April Business-Social meet-
ing will be held at the CPO Club

p.m.
deaths resulted, plus a great many
cases of lifelong crippling. Neit-
her of the nurseries had been in-
volved in an outbreak of polio be-
fore.
Consider the problem of the city
of Santa Ana, Calif., some years
ago. After a long history of no
involvement with typhoid fever,
they suddenly found themeselves
caring for about 400 cases — the
result of improperly prepared
diary products. Neither the city
nor the diary had been so invol-
ved before. A great many people
died.
Lifetime of Non-Involvement
Our medical literature records
countless thousands of cases
where food service facilities, work
shops, and all manners of public
accommoditions, as well as private
homes and individuals, have gener-
ated hazards to life and health,
after a lifetime of non-involve-
ment.
When you have considered the
above, then consider your own pro-
pensity for justifying unsafe or
unsanitary conditions or practices
with the observation that you have
been doing that for so many
months or years, and no one ever
got sick or injured because of
it—YET.
“Nothing Has Happened Yet”
Of all excuses for improper
conduct this “nothing has happen-
ed yet” is unmatched in frequency
and regularity. As an argument,
it is invalid. As an excuse, it is
unacceptable. As a standard of
practice, it is inexcusable. As a
source of pain, suffering, and
death, it is inexhaustible.
Star-Spangled self-interest —
33.3 percent of all Series E and
H U. S. Savings Bonds ever issued
are still outstanding today. A
good reason for you to join the
“Star-Spangled Savings Plan”—
where you work or bank.
Plaque-Maker
Gets Plaque
Of His Own
A letter of appreciation, with a
plaque, was presented to Mariano
G. Aguilar, EA1, by Capt. Robert
R. Sparks recently.
The letter of appreciation read
in part: “Your exemplary
performance in numerous art-
istic endeavors, over and above
that normally required of an engi-
neering aid first class has been
noted with pleasure. In my capa-
city as Commander U.S. Naval
Forces, Iceland/Commanding Offi-
cer, U.S. Naval Station, Keflavik,
I would like to express a personal
‘well done.”’
The inscription on the plaque,
which contained the ComNavIce
insignia created by Aguilar,
read, “presented to M.G. Aguilar,
EA1, in appreciation for creative
efforts rendered.”
One of the functions performed
by Aguilar that resulted in this
presentation was the creation and
preparation of plaques showing
all units under ComNavIce.
Another tribute paid to Aguilar
was having a personal book on
Iceland inscribed by RAdm Ralph
Weymouth, Iceland Defense Force
commander, as follows, “May this
bring back fond memories of your
tour in Iceland.”
Aguilar has been assigned to
the Engineering Section of the
Public Works Department since
reporting on board in March 1964.
He was born in Cavite, Philippines
and enlisted in the U.S. Navy on
August 27, 1957.
Prior to reporting to Iceland
he was assigned to MCB4 at
Davisville, Rhode Island, and prior
to that he had served aboard 5
submarines, including the SSN 593
Thresher. Aguilar departed Ice-
land on March 31, 1965 for duty
with the COMSTA Systems Hq’s
in Washington D.C.

NCO Wives Club when in real-
ity the club w.as one of many
groups that took part in the
event. Sponsors of the Youth
Center’s Carnival were Mr.
Lester Sanders and Mrs. Jane
Meyers. Some names were not

of lack of space.________
