VA-96 and the Juliett Detachments of VAAW-35 and VAW-ll took a big sfep in fostering democracy and Spreading American good will by aiding 0 group of White Russians fighting tyranny. The refugees fied from Russia during the Czarist Revolu- tion and settled in China. Refusing to return to their native land, they were persecuted severely by the Chinesese Communists. With their food rations cut, travel restricted, and churches closed, a limited number of old and young were finally allowed permission to enter Hong Kong. VA-96, VAAW-35, and VAW-ll heard about their plight and raised funds to provide an English teacher, to purchase playground equipment, and to set up an emergency medical contingency fund. The refugees hope this assistance will be the first step toward entrance to the United States. listlvlllird if -QR glgn s k,x is, 'sb Qld, A

Trust your instruments is more than a byword for the pilots of VF- 194, for when flying at night or in near zero visibility, they must depend upon their instruments-and the ground crews that adiust them--to tell them where they are. Every night, the Banshees of Fighter Squadron I94 are spotted on the catapults in case night interceptors are required for air defense. And if they are, the pilots are strapped in and are shot off the bow into the inky blackness of night. Vectored by CIC to the target, they pick it up on their radar scopes and shoot it down -without ever being able to see beyond the nose of their own plane. The men of VF-194 provide me with round-the-clock, all-weather defense, ready to go into action at a moment's notice. RT' CDR J. DAVIS 145
