share—sixty per cent—of the
contributor's dollar is devoted
to the work of the Division
and Unit. Twenty-five per
cent supports a nationally ad-ministered
research program,
and the remaining fifteen per

office for professional and
public education, service to
patients, statistical research,
grants and fellowships, ad-ministration,
fuhd-raising and
program supplementation, in.

The Dave Strickler Story
Local Boy
Makes Good
Pictures
The lad who started taking
pictures around Hershey Park,
Hershey High School and
Junior College found the photo
trail has led to Honolulu, Hong
Kong, Tokyo and Seoul — and
now to the stately halls of
Boston University.
Twenty-five-year-old David
S. Strickler, son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. Ray Strickler of Hum-melstown
Route 1, is writing
a local-boy-makes-good story
with his camera and type-writer.
Full of enthusiasm, and ap-parently
not complicated by
inhibitions, Strickler has kept
a steady helm on course since
the photography "bug" first
began to nibble.
Currently enrolled in the
Boston University School of
Public Relations, he is point-ing
for a job as a magazine
photographer and writer with
the long-range objective of
traveling, writing and "shoot-ing"
pictures on a free-lance
basis.
His career is off to a good
start. During the past eight
years his published pictures
and articles can be traced
from the Hershey High Broad-caster
through the pages of
leading photography maga-zines.
Besides, he has spent
the past four years photo..
graphing and writing about
the Pacific and Far East as
an official Navy journalist-.
with-camera.
His files include hundreds
of pictures from Hawaii, Hong
Kong, Japan and Korea, and
hundreds more depicting life
in the Navy. It is his observa-tion
that the best pictures of
sailors are taken on dry land.
Favorite Models
Among subjects for his
camera during his travels
have been Admiral Arthur W.
Radford, now chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, and for-mer
