"Security on telephones is both

significant threat to non-secure tele-
phones. Continuous and aggressive action
is necessary. Telephones should be an-
swered with a reminder that this is a
non-secure line. All personnel should
be reminded to stop "talking around"
sensitive or classified information. If
classified information needs to be passed
utilizing telephones, use only secure
phones."

Specializing in ministry to the deaf,
Chaplain (Lieutenant junior grade)
Marshall Larriviere spoke to the Pro-
testant Women of the Chapel last week
at the NATO Base Chapel.
The reserve chaplain visited Kefla-
vik for two weeks while on active duty
for training. Chaplain Larriviere is
a member of the Diocese of Lafayette,
LA.
During his speech, he stated that
the diocese covers about 20,000 square
miles in Louisiana.
About 500 deaf people, including
adults and children, live in this
area.
These people will come to any minis^-
ter who can communicate with the deaf,
the chaplain explained.
"I have two deaf centers, one in
Lafayette and one in Lake Charles."
"I have yet to have a service in
Lake Charles when the Catholics out-
number the Protestants."
Any particular problems of a
spiritual nature which might arise are
taken care of by Chaplain Larriviere.
Administration of his deaf ministry
is delegated to his assistants.
"We don't have too much to do with
the children themselves because the
State School for the Deaf is in Baton
Rouge," he commented.
Most of the children there go to
the school for nine months out of
the year. They go there when they
are five years old.
We have a lot of summer programs
such as day camp where we can deal
with the children, the chaplain
explained.
"My main emphasis as a priest is re-
ligion. It is probably true...we are
completely involved in people's lives."
Relating his work with the deaf, he
remarked that deaf people sometimes
can't t speak because they have never
heard a sound; therefore, they do not
know how to imitate sound.
By the use of the oscilloscope,
deaf people are being trained in word
usage by seeing a word appear on a
screen. They are then taught how to
make the same word appear on the
screen.
