Father John W. Wishard
Here in Iceland, where the tour of duty is so short, the
rounds of Hail and Bless parties are innumerable, and in
the course of a year, one hears a good many “Bless”
speeches.
My favorite “Bless Speech” has always been the one
given by St. John the Evangelist. Tradition says that Saint
John lived to a ripe old age, and as he lay feeble and weak
in his last hours, he was not strong enough to say very
much, and so his words were simply, “Little children, LOVE
ONE ANOTHER!”
The other disciples were pretty weary of hearing these
same words, for St. John had always emphasized the neces-
sity of love in the Christian life, and they asked him why
he never said anything else, and especially now, in his last
hours. St. John’s reply was, “If you do this alone, it is
enough”.
If we could adhere to these words, if we could forget
differences and personality conflicts, if we could be under-
standing and patient with each other, and above all, antici-
pate the needs of our shipmates and comrades, the com-
plexity of our daily lives would disappear. It is not the
cold climate, the restrictions, the rules, the hard work and
difficult hours that make duty difficult — it is hatred, dis-
content and pettiness — or in short, A LACK OF
BROTHERLY LOVE.
We all might ask ourselves if we are contributing to the
morale and happiness by our practice of Charity — or are
we rather adding to the misery caused by the absence of
this mark of the Christian man.

The first game of the Little
League Baseball final got under-
way at 1:00 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21,
with the crowd of approximately
75 parents and youngsters cheer-
ing their favorite players.
The first game was between the
combined teams of the Tigers and
the Braves, who faced the Dod-
gers and the Yankees 8 to 10 age
group. The Tiger-Braves team
emerged the victors 12-10 behind
the slugging of second baseman
Dean Wright and pitcher Bobby
Carter, who doubled, and catcher
George Cankey who tripled. The
winning pitcher was Bobby Car-
ter, and the losing hurler was
Mike Trombetti.
The second game was the Tigers
and Braves of the 11 to 13 age divi-
sion facing the Dodgers and the
Yankees of the same group. The
Tiger-Braves combination was too
much for their opponents, as they
blasted home a victory, 22-5.
Topping the big bats for the
winners was Lyndon Whitman,
who had three homers and eight
R. B. I.’s.
In the season standings, the
Tigers came home first, Dodgers
second, Yankees third and in the
cellar spot were the Braves.
Responsible for the success for
this season were not only the
coaches, but William Jones, league
president, who was instrumental
in the acquisition of the uniforms
and bats and balls.
The Navy’s study retention
group recommends looking into
factors of the enlisted advance-
ment system. Investigative areas
include eligibility criteria on
which the CO’s recommendations
are made, the Enlisted Perfor-
mance Evaluation Sheet, means
for evaluating enlisted perform-
ance marks, and factors compri-
sing the advancement multiple.
