Oriskany Has More Trouble With Its Name San Francisco <AFPS) - There's nothing monotonous about a mail clerk's job on the carrier Oriskany. For diversion he can always turn to the strange variants of the ship's name on the incoming mail

Tltis includes the ship's official mail. Correspondence addressed to the carrier has Included such nit­ties as the following:

USS Oriskani; USS Oriskaney; USS Oriskiny; USS Oris KanYj -USS Orishany; USS Oreskan};; USS Oriskeny VI; USS Ariskany; USS Oridkany <WA-34); USS Ouskany; USS Orioskany; USS Oristanry <=A-34); USS I ris­kany; USS Griskany; USS Orvis· hany, and USS Oris Baney.

-'In other words," says the ahip's paper, "the name of our good ship is obscure. F e w of us, it any, hAd any inkling of what it meant or where it came from before w e reported aboard," It adds that the usual reaction

among outsiders is "Oris- who?" "Oriskany" derives from Mo­

hawk Indian dialect. "Oris" means Ofa place of n et tles." "Ka~" means "on water_" In 1717 the Revolution­ary General Nicholas Herkimer de­feated the British Barry St . Leger in the Battle of Oriskany, N.Y., forcing him to retreat into Canada. The Oriskany's name commemor· ates that victory.

Famed Veteran 'Indianapolis Racer Gives .Highway Driving TIps To Local Audience

In numerous cases, children have been apprehended taking

. candy, padJocks, knives. etc. Lar g­er scale thefts have been more cle \'erly maneuvered and have, thus far, escaped detection.

Parents are urgell to caution their children and not permit them in the Exchange e.xcept on valid business.

Pa-trons ()f the Navy Exchange who witness thefts by adults or children are requested to report the situation to the nearest sales penon or floor supervisor.

All efforts by r esidents to help clH'tall pilfering will be appreciat­ed. In addition to possible legal action for t he cr ime of theft, any person al)prehended jn such an act wiu lose all prh'i1eges of th e Exchange, Commissary. and Sta­tion Theatre.

Addressing his audience com­prised predominately of service­men, Fred Agabashian stressed the importal1ce o~ ,.practidng mental

. alertness in order to reduce the 40,000 traffic fatalities occurring each year.

ists must be sure of their cars be-' cause highway conditions are more hazardous than they are ~n the race track;-and passengers ar.,.., ..... ~ additional responsibility.

I n presenting the nationalty­known Champion Highway Safety Program h ere last Monday, Aga­bashian pointed out a few of the careless and d,scourteous habits

e' unconsciously employed by the av­erage driver. These are a few s ug­gestions he offered:

-, • Don't "over-drive"-stop for r est

or sleep whenever necessary.

• K eep your dista nee_ '. Dim your lights propriate_

whenever ap·

• Use turn -signals. • Allow fast drivers to pass-de­

creasing speed to cut down his time alongside your vehicle.

• Don't lounge in the seat- h ave complete control of your car at

a ll times.

P er haps wit h 0 u t r ealizing it; motorists are operating vehicles: with light defects, poor brakes, loose steering, W 0 r n windshield wipers and unsafe tires.

We must not ignor e what is under the hood. In order to have a car e f r e e m ind while traveling, check radia tor hose, battery cables, fan belts, spark plugs, and wiring. You might lose more than just time when you drive an unsafe car.

Properly installed safety belts are a n asset to Rny auto. Agabash­ian stated that there is only one chance in 1,000 of being thrown free from a car without injury; but your chances of survival are diminished when you consider the oncoming traffic, or the possibility that your own auto could crush you_

A change in the check cashing policy at the Commissary Store goes into effect today, according to LCdr. R. C. K eller, Commissary Store Officer.

Up to the present time, the Com­. missary Store has cashed all per­sonal and government checks pre­sented for payment of purchases, but the volume and face value of checks have grown so large that the cash resources of the s tore can no longer meet the demand.

T he new check cashing policy will be as follows

Personal c heeks up to S50 or O\'er $50, if written for the exact amount of the purchase, will con­tinue to be accepted;

Government checks will be a c­cepted only during the morning bours, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, Monday through Friday. If cash on hand is depleted before noon, notices will ~ posted at all cash registe rs. In the event this procedure does

not alleviate ~he presen t condition it may be necessary to eventually discontinue cashing any check ex­cept those w ri t ten on personal chec~ing accounts.

You don't h ave to go fa r as they ten me there is good hunting in the Greenhorns abo v e Isabena. Al­though bows can be provided, hunt­ers must furnish their own a rrows or quivers.
