Debbie Landis is Sun Princess

An 18-year-old Army dependent will represent White Sands Missile Range as a sun princess in El Paso's annual Sun Carnival this year.

• Brown-haired Debbie Landis, a nursing student at Baylor University in Waco, Tex., returned from her freshman year at college recently to hear the news rather unexpectedly. "When I came home, I kept getting all these phone calls from photographers and people like that. I was really surprised," she said.

Attending Baylor on an Army nursing scholarship, the former first class Girl Scout, a ranking roughly equivalent to that of Eagle in Boy Scouts, has spent her life as a typical Army nomad. Miss Landis has lived in nine states and·

· in Turkey and South Korea since her birth in Ft. • Sill, Okla. in 1953.

"I love travelling. That's one reason a scholarship from the Army is good, because it's a good way to travel," she said.

The 1971 graduate of Radford High School in Honolulu, holds a 3.0 college grade point average. After completing two years of preparatory work at Baylor, she will train for her nursing career at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C., and at the University of Maryland, followed by three years as an Army nurse.

Miss Landis is the daughter of Lieutenant e colonel and Mrs. C.W. Landis of 232 Polaris at

WSMR. She has a sister Nancy and one brother Greg.

Miss Landis and all participating Sun Prin­cesses of the Southwest will have a special responsibility in Sun Carnival activities this year.

Since 1970 Sun Court representatives have assisted four prominent out-of-town judges in the selection of the 1972-73 Sun Queen and two regal Ladies-in-Waiting.

The Sun Queen and attendants are chosen from the group of 17 Sun Duchesses who are sponsored

e by leading women's civic and service organizations in El Paso. · The identity of the new Sun Queen will not be

revealed until the surprise announcement at the coronation ceremonies Dec. 30 in El Paso's new Civic Center.

The coronation program will include en~ tertainment headlined by one of the nation's top entertainment talents.

The featured entertainer is expected to attract· a capacity audience to the coronation program and ball. Advance ticket selections are expected to be at a premium, according to Sun Carnival

eomcials.

DEBBIE LANDIS

Members of the Sons of the Sun, major sponsoring organization of Sun Carnival finances and activities, will have first choice of ticket pt1rchases for the coronation and Siin Bowl football game.

Membership in Sons of the Sun - for $10 a year - insures priority selection of six adult tickets for the Sun bowl football classic and substantial savings on tickets for youngsters up to 18 years old. Sun Bowl parking privileges are also in­cluded with SOS membership.

Additional SOS advantages include priority selection of tickets for the coronation program and ball and an exciting new travel attraction, qualification for participation in a club charter flight on an eight day tour of Hawaii.

Sons of the Sun memberships may be obtained from the Sun Carnival office, El Paso National Bank Bldg. Interested persons may call 533-4416 for additional information.

A friend in need ...

Funds help former employe by LINDA ROACH

Thirty-three-year-old Gloria Herrera made more than a few friends at White Sands Miissile Range during her thirteen years as a personnel clerk here.

Proof of that came last week when coordination among Civilian Personnel Office employes, White Sands of­ficials and the Ft. Bliss property disposal office brought a wheelchair and a hospital bed to her door.

Mrs. Herrers had worked at White Sands from the time of her high school graduation until leaving for Salinas, California, in 1970. She returned to Las Cruces in June for medical treatment for what was finally found to be a brain tumor. A convulsion just before removal of the tumor resulted in the paralysis of the left side of her body.

Registration for fall school term

announced here The White Sands elementary

and junior high schools will hold registration for the 1972-73 school year Thursday, August 24 in the school gym from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

First grade children registering for the first time this year must have a birth certificate and shot records. Children in grades 2 through 9 should have the last report card they received or some proof of the grade they were assigned to.

Children enrolling in the White Sands schools for the first time or those who were not in the schools during the 1971-72 school year must have an address of the school attended last year.

Range students in grades 10 through 12 will attend Mayfield High School in Las Cruces and will also register August 24. These students will board a bus at 8 a .m. in front of the elementary school building for the trip to Mayfield and will return to White Sands about 11 a.m. There will be no registration fees this year.

The new term of school will begin August 28.

workers in the Civilian Per­sonnel Office at the range learned of her misfortune, remembered her and decided to do more than just send flowers.

An off ice-wide collection engineered by Minnie Paz, a personnel clerk there and longtime friend of Mrs. Herrera, with the help of Dorothy Mullen, position classification specialist, yielded $114.75. After much discussion, a wheelchair was purchased from a commercial firm.

Then the Ft. Bliss Pro~rty Disposal office was consulted about the possibility of pur­chasing a surplus hospital bed. Mrs. Herrera's mother, Mrs. Carlota Frausto, who has been caring for Mrs. Herrera during her recovery, was renting a hospital bed at that time.

Both articles purchased, transportation problems arose. The wheelchair easily fit into an automobile and was delivered to the Frausto home Sunday, Aug. 6, but the hospital bed presented a bigger problem.

At the suggestion of Gabriel Brillante, acting White Sands information officer, the rauge transportation office agreed to provide a truck. The bed finally reached its ne~ owner Wed·

·nesday, Aug. 9. Doctors in California had

been treating Mrs. Herrera for continuous headaches and the inability to keep food down -symptoms of the then suspected brain tumor - for a month before she came back to Las Cruces.

Third Mars test vehicle drops home successfully

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration reports that its Viking un­manned Mars · Lander parachute deceleration system was successfully tested over the White Sands Missile Range Sunday, Aug. 13.

The test was the third balloon-launched simulated Viking entry vehicle test over WSMR this summer and was a repeat of supersonic test conditions planned for the first test.

motors ignited boosting the test ..wRicle to an altitude of about 149,000 feet where the spacecraft velocity achieved test conditions in an at­mospheric density simulating conditions expected over Mars. Here the parachute deployed to decelerate the simulated Viking spacecraft. The test terminated when the parachute system landed the test vehicle on WSMR at 10:53 a.m.

Preliminary analysis of quick-look data by project technical personnel indicated that all test conditions were met and that all systems

operated as planned. The parachute apparently inflated properly and physical in­spection revealed no damage to the parachute. A more detailed / engineering analysis of parachute and vehicle performance will be made by project officials.

The Viking Balloon Launch Decelerator Test Program is managed by the NASA Langley Research Center. The simulated entry vehicle was built by Martin Marietta Corporation, Denver Division, which also directed field test operations.

Plans are being completed for the annual Pan-American Fiesta in Mesilla, N .M., scheduled Sept. 8, 9 and 10.

The colorful celebration will be held in the Old Mesilla Valley.

Various committees are in charge of arrangements. The committee members include a number of White Sands Missile Range employes who live in the Mesilla area.

The concept being followed is similar to that of the world famous "La Feria de Sevilla." The committees are planning "something for everyone" each day of the fiesta.

Samuel B. Munoz., chairman of the Casetas <Booths) Committee, announced that booths will be available on all four sides of the Plaza. They will be rented to interested individuals and organizations.

About 10 large casetas

(booths) will be available for commercial purposes and 26 smaller <Jnes for private use, Mr. Munoz said. They will be rented on a first come, first served basis. The rental price will cover the space, the canvas cover and electrical power. Private casetas will rent for $40, commercial ones for $75. A deposit of 50 per cent of the rental is required with the balance of payment due by Aug. 26.

Commercial booths will be rented only to firms or groups desiring to sell food and drinks to the general public. Private booths will be available to clubs, church groups, associations, city or town governments and individuals.

The 1972 Pan-American Fiesta is expected to be the best ever, Mr. Munoz said. Additional information will be announced later.

In the first test, NASA reported that test conditions were exceeded and that some parachute damage occurred.

The second test of the series was conducted over WSMR July 26. This test was per­formed to check the parachute system at transonic conditions and at the lowest paracbute loading conditions expected over Mars. Test results in­dicated that the system had performed completely satisfactorily in this test mode.

Sunday's test (repeat of Test No. 1) was carried by a huge helium -filled balloon from Roswell at 7:41 a .m. to an altitude of about 120,000 feet over WSMR .

From where I sit By Mary Thelma Harris

I know you haven't heard from me lately, but I couldn't even breathe while drowning on my peanut better sandwich, much less keep you abreast of the news! But, we do have news, and every bit of it is good.

The moment our chief, LTC Baty, returned from leave, we presented him with his ne.w deputy, CPT William Weinreich, who has been in school the past year and says he can hardly wait to get to work again (honestly). This of course, means our temporary deputy, Mr. Fred Ingraham, will return to his branch (LG­EC); but, we aren't giving back his "brainstorm" - the new on-post-shuttle-bus ser­vice. I don't think you realize how super this service is. It can take you anywhere on post in a short time, and it runs a con­tinuous cycle all day, which means it will be in your vicinity every 30 minutes. If you need more info, a copy of the schedule or map of the route, call me - 678-3385.

LG-EE's SGT Beale was telling me that beginning Monday he would be on TDY for five months and afterwards would start Project Transition and be gone. I know I should never say never, but that seemed like forever, and the next thing I hear he's in the hospital for a possible operation on his back. I don't know which is worse. Oh. I hope he doesn't have to have it, but if he does, I know he'll' recover soon and then maybe this way we'll get him back for a while.

Awardwise, we must congratulate Mr. Frank Rico. This is his second SSP in three years, and although I like to think that that man must have connections with the Lord, I know that, like all of us, he just works for Him.

EL PASO. TEXAS

Latest departees are our two tiny YOP's, Victor Roa and Toni Lucero, and the newest man around the division is Electronic Maintenance's E-5, Galvester Banks. Not bad, two little creatures for one!

Going outside the organization to talk about some friends who have had splendid good fortune: Good luck to John C. Compton who is retiring soon after 30 years; and complete happiness to Pearl (Picton) Welch on her recent marriage to Paul.

Miracles happen everyday, even being born is a big event, so let's celebrate the com­mencement of school this month. We're fortunate to have NMSU, UTEP, the Bilingual Projects and all tpose teachers who care about our kids. I'll see you sometime, okav?

7 Las C rucens get awards

Seven Las Cruces residents employed at White Sands Missile Range have been presented performance awards through the U.S. Army Incentive Awards Program.

Completes ARC fitness program

A librarian at the Special Services Post library, Miss Eugenia A. Collins, has been awarded a 40-mile Swim and Stay Fit card by the local chapter of the American Red Cross.

By MSG Jerry E. Brown Jr. Some years back the

pelicans at San Diego were starving to death. Their dead bodies lined the beaches for miles, a serious threat to the health of the entire city.

For years the pelicans had fed on the cast-away trash fish discarded by San Diego fishermen returning from the day's catch. With the advent of the use of trash fish in the manufacture of organic fer­tilizer, this practice soon stopped and the pelicans were left without food . . . and they were too stupid to go after it.

The Board of Health solved the problem by importing pelicans from Alaska. The newcomers lost no time going into the ocean for food. Only after the stupid, starving ones caught the idea did they cease to starve and to die.

SP5 John Q. Hanley graduated from Stragetic Microwave Systems Repair School six years ago, holds MOS 26V20, and is working in a TD vacancy in his Primary MOS. However, his job calls for him to work with only part of the equipment on which he was school trained, while his MOS Evaluation Test covers all the equipment he is expected to maintain proficiency in.

Although he has verified his MOS every years since he graduated from school, his test score has steadily declined from 124 on his first test after graduation to only 73 on his last test - barely passing.

Yet he has done nothing to improve his knowledge in the fields not covered by his present duty assignment. He has not been considered for promotion to E-6 because, even with a waiver for MOS test score, he must have a score of 100 or higher to be considered.

Specialist Hanley probably doesn't realize it, but insofar as his Army career is concerned he is on the verge of going the same route as the pelicans that forgot how to fish. He must score 70 or higher on his latest PMOS evaluation Test to be eligible for reenlistment, and with a test score of Jess than 100 he is subject to being denied reenlistment in his Primary MOS and either retraining in another more critical MOS or leaving the Army at ETS.

Also, as an E-5 he must at­tain promotion list status by the time he completes 12 years service or be denied reenlistment. And he can't attain promotion list status unless he scores at least 100 on his PMOS Evaluation Test.

Swim and Stay Fit is a physical fitness program sponsored by the Red Cross. It enables persons to earn cer­tificates by swimming ten, twenty, thirty, forty or fifty miles in segments of at least J/ 440 yards each swim period.

Miss Collins, the first WSMRite to earn a 40 mile certificate this year, says she plans to complete an additional ten miles of swimming this summer. Last summer she swam a total of 65 miles in the program.

Sounds like he's at a dead end, doesn't it? He doesn't have the equipment to work with, so how can he become more profici!lnt in his Primary MOS and bring his test scores up to par? Well, there is a way! And it doesn't involve im­porting "pelicans" from Alaska, either.

The Post Education Officer operates an MOS library which maintains MOS study material for mosl of the MOS on post. Anyone needing to study for an MOS Evaluation Test can check this material out for study in his leisure time.

If a study packet for your MOS is not on file in the MOS library, the librarian will be glad to order one for you. But it does take some effort on your part. YOU must see the librarian to check out the study material - no one is going to do that for you. And YOU must take the time to study the material after you have checked it out.

Another thing a person in the same category as Specialist Hanley can do to maintain proficiency in his MOS is to enroll in correspondence courses from the Army Service School that teaches the resident course for the MOS. This can be done by completing an Army Correspondence Course Enrollment Ap­plication, DA Form 145.

This form can be obtained from The Education Center, and they will help complete it. Here again, YOU must take the initial step to enroll yourself in the correspondence courses to help you attain a qualifying score on your MOS Evaluation Test.

Don't YOU become a "San Diego pelican" by getting caught with your MOS Test Score down at reenlistment time. Maintain proficiency in your MOS by the two methods. suggested above and your chances of becoming a "Qualitative Management" statistic will be drastically reduced. It's your future that hangs in the balance.

Personnel who have questions concerning their future in the Army should contact MSG Brown or SGT Anselmo at the Post Reenlistment Office in the WSMR Post Office Building or call them at 678-2769 or 678-2305.

Editor's note: Replies to the pin-up poll in last week's Missile Ranger still are trickling in, so the results have not been tabulated. We did get some interesting comments on the ballots, such as "equal space for men." A few of the longer comments follow.

Dear Editor: First off, I would like to

compliment Miss Roach on her editorial. She has made many aware of the problems that face today's women. These problems, however, are more the result of recent public opinions and mass media advertising. I don't think that pin-ups contribute significantly to these problems and therefore I place a "yes" ballot in the Missile Ranger voting machine.

Many women struggle to preserve their youthful figure and face and this is one of the major reasons that many American and European women <and men) do not grow old gracefully. Television constantly applauds the mother who dresses, looks and acts like her daughter . .. even when her daughter is over thirty, a mother herself and is competing with her daughter.

As for the "over 40" group who spend their money on face lifts and cosmetics, they find that the years take their toll and they're paying a lot more toll than they should. They pay not only out of their pockets but also socially and emotionally.

These troubles and expenses need not be necessary. If the woman who has worked her domestic and professional roles for more than twenty years thinks that she will be abandoned by her husband who she suspicions is looking for "better fish in the sea," she should take a closer look at her husband. After 20 years she would probably find that there is better bait around too!

These serious problems, some valid and some imagined, are the result of people's refusal to acknowledge the aging process as a natural physical deterioration. Geritol says you're as young as you feel and Max Factor and Grape Nuts Flakes say that you're as young as you look. A partial solution lies in the revamping of advertising mass media that use youth as an appeal to the older set.

In the public opinion field, the cliches about the generation gap have been knocked around and abused for a long time. People tried hard to narrow the generation gap by communicating with their children on the child's level. Instead of making the children more adult the trend makes adults more like children.

On the defense side of the pin-up case directly, just as old age is a natural thing, so is beauty in youth. Few people have ever objected to the display of natural talent. Why should we ban the display of natural beauty. Whether the pin -up is flaunting her pulchritude in a brief bikini or is attired in a high neckline­ankle length gown, they are both natural beauties who show a friendly smile to every reader.

Dear Editor : This is no more than a

Dear Linda: Nuts to yQu ! I don't object to

your having an opinion which differs from mine, but I am heartily sick of you, and people like you saying, "I don't like it so let's forbid it to everybody." <Protect-the-World-itis. Very serious.)

As for being sexual objects, you sure as heck are! You have an ancient and honorably biological function which cannot be changed by the paranoid grumblings of those whose prime is past. Face up to it.

Now I enjoy looking at pic­tures of good-looking females. So what? Why should I be subject to the ridiculous behavior of a certain narrow­minded group of irrational females whose figures don't stack up. And if you think they aren't ridiculous, narrow­minded, and irrational, I would cite your article as sub­stantiating evidence. Case rests.

Sincerely, Ed Carrier

To whom it may concern: Question : what in the - - is

the use of filling the paper full of trashy pictures, such as the example you have illustrated, when you can look around most anywhere, at most any time and see the real thing on display.

R.C. Hollingsworth

Dear Editor: In response to an editorial by

Linda Roach in last week's Missile Ranger I would like to communicate the following:

Pinups are exclusively physical or sexual; nonetheless, I haven't heard of any woman being bought and sold on the open !flarket, as the article implies. The man who bases his selection of a wife on an erotic picture book is not the average or normal man.

While superficially it ap­pears that men admire women for their sexuality, I doubt if this is their entire thinking. In an article in Reader's Digest, men and women told what they looked for in a mate. Men wished that she be good looking, pleasant, good cook, dress well, a good sport - not necessarily listed in order of first preference. Women preferred potential good fathers, dependable and honest men, good providers, not ex­cessive drinkers or gamblers, etc. While this tends to support Ms. Roach's viewpoint, an article in Forbes reported that married couples were better matched according to I.Q. than any other factor, which suggests that beauty is not the primary factor for choosing a mate. Further, most women marry - although most are not pinups.

Even though we do not or­dinarily see male pinups per se, most of us know what a sexy masculine man looks like -Rock Hudson or Steve McQueen. Magazines are full of male pinups, who are not only handsome and sexy - but rich, too. Men are victimized by vendors of wigs, elevator shoes, corset salesmen, hair grooming concerns and are further pressured to earn more money so they can wear polyester stretch pants, white belt and shoes, drive in shiny, over-priced, soon depreciated cars, smoke White Owls, and drink only Wild Turkey or Cutty Sark.

What happens to the guy who is short and bald and cannot afford to project such a swinging image? He may be adversely affected because he is not the personjfication of

STORTZ

"masculine" good looks, nor able to dress like a movie star, or buy the numerous goods advertised in men's magazines, much less "buy" the womanly commodity, he so diligently strives to attract.

Put me down for a "no."

Dear Editor: Many local citizens will

remember these headlines during the period 1967 thru 1970: "Goodwill Industries Plans Workshop Here." This was the result of many months of initial planning by the • original board of directors.

The up-hill pull had leveled off and it was good sailing until early '72. Then a recent demoralizing headline ; "Las Cruces Goodwill Store Faces Closing ." (The item referred to the entire Goodwill operation, not just the local outlet store.)

Having been closely associated with the Goodwill operation during 1968-69 the news was indeed a shock.

Goodwill must be saved. e Thirty minutes spent touring the Workshop observing the handicapped in training, and processing and repairing donated items for resale will prove the point. Only then will one realize why Goodwill stands for "A Chance, Not Charity."

With support, cooperation and compassion on the part of the entire community Goodwill can tie saved. Here are a few suggestions.

Learn more about the Goodwill operation. Visit the • workshop.

Visit and patronize the local Goodwill outlet store on N. Main, now called the Mall .

Take advantage oi the various customer services offered at the Workshop such as: upholstering, and ap­pliance, TV, radio, mower, bicycle and electric shaver repair.

Greater quantities of donated repairable and saleable items, on which to e train handicapped personnel, and for resale, are badly needed. Goodwill will pick up your unwanted Items (not junk) and give a receipt for the total fair market value established by the donor . This figure is tax deductible at income tax time.

Further, an urgent need exists for a sales store location other than the high-priced Mall area. Any information on a site with a building of at least 1800 sq. ft. in the Lohman Street . area will be greatly ap­preciated, providing the rent is moderate.

The initial Federal Grant to aid the organization in getting started and going expires in a few months . Maximum community support is a must now, and in the future , if Goodwill is to stand on its own two feet. They have come a long way ; don 't Jet them down now.

before her scheduled operation, Mrs. Herrera ex­perienced a convulsion that resulted in the paralysis of the left side of her body. The operation proceeded as planned, though, and doctors successfully removed the tumor.

Two hospital weeks later Mrs . Herrera returned to the Las Cruces home of her mother to begin the long process toward recovery, a process which continues even today.

Still partially paralyzed, Mrs. Herrera has completed post-operative radiation treatments and is con­centrating on regaining the strength she lost during her ordeal. She hopes to return to her husband and four children in California by late Sep­tember. Eventually she would like also to return to her job as social worker with the state welfare office there.

Frank Papen <center ). chief executive officer, and Harry W. Craig, bank manager, hosted an open house during which bank customers sipped coffee or punch and munched on cookies. Workmen recently completed refurbishing the facility with new wall paneling. wall-to-wall carpeting and reconstruction of partitions. Nearly 100 WSMRites attended.

The balloon system was manufactured by the F .T. Sch­jeldahl Co., Minneapolis, Minn., for the U.S. Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory, Bedford, Mass., whose Holloman Air Force Base Balloon Branch was responsible for launch operations.

The parachute system was manufactured by the Goodyear Aerospace Corporation, Akron, Ohio.Range Support arrangements and test coor­dination were made by the NASA White Sands Test Facility. The U.S. Army managed White Sands Missile Range provided data acquisition, collection, recovery and related services.

Since it appears that the parachute deceleration system performed its function suc­cessfully in this test mode, the one last test - at subsonic conditions - remains to qualify the parachute system for use on the actual mission to Mars. The next earliest launch date for that test is Aug. 18.

Private First Class Clayton W. Nichols of Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory here at WSMR enjoys canoeing, but couldn't quite relate to the dry lake beds in this area of the country. Consequently, he travelled 600 miles each week to find water for canoeing.

Those weekly trips to Taos, N.M., for practice in his favorite sport paid off, though, because he's been selected to represent the United States in canoeing competition at the 1972 Summer Olympics later this month.

Right now the University of Wisconsin graduate is in • Augsburg, Germany, readying himself for competition there.

Provided he's not selected for further international com­petition, he's scheduled to be back Sept. 18.

thusiasts who would like to represent the range at the five Star Paddleball tournament in mid-September. That gives you a little less than a month to get back into shape for the sport.

Two singles players and two doubles teams are needed. · Anyone interested may call the sports office at 678-3374.

There isn't a lot of pressure exerted on New Mexico's bullfrog population by sportsmen, and those who do not catch bullfrogs during the season must not know what they are missing. Froglegs are considered a delicacy. . .

The season on bullfrogs will be split this year for the first time with the southern season south of U.S. 60 opening Saturday, July 15 and running through Sept. 15. The season north of U.S. 60 opens 16 days later on Aug. 1 and also is open through Sept. 15.

Bullfrogging is a unique sport because the sportsman can hunt for the frog or fish for it. Many froggers prefer the angling method, using a long pole or stiff flyrod and dangling a small piece of red cloth or brightly colored lure in front of the frog . Sportsmen who have experienced it say a large bullfrog on a flyrod can put a lot of fighting fish to shame.

Frogs are found almost anywhere in the state that there is a permanent marshy area . Some of the best areas are along the Rio Grande from Espanola south all the way to the Texas state line the Pecos 'River from Roswell to Carlsbad, the Farmington are~. Wall Lake and Glenwood.

Frogs may be taken by angling, grappling, spears, gigs and arrows that are not driven by explosives, gas, air or crossbow.

Anyone who has not tried fried froglegs is missing a real taste treat.

Distance running planned by AAU

Interior Sec. tells waterfowl hunting regs.

The New Mexico Amateur Athletic Union (A.A.U.) has released its schedule of long distance running events for the fall season.

Nine events remain in the schedule, including marathons, cross country runs and trail races .

To enter a race, a person must be registered with the A.A.U., submit an entry form before the day of the race, pay a $1.00 registration fee and have had a physical examination with the preceding four months (for races of over five miles) .

A.A.U. membership may be obtained through the Las Cruces Park and Recreation Department. There is a charge of $1.50 and an option to buy insurance coverage for an extra $1 .00.

Events scheduled for this fall include:

August 27 - Albuquerque -La Luz Trail Race, 7.5 miles

September 10 Albuquerque - Marathon.

September 23 - Las Cruces - Baylor Pass Run, 6 miles.

September 24 Albuquerque - Albuquerque Cross Country, females only.

October 7 - Bernalillo -Bernalillo Open, 4 miles.

October 14 - Albuquerque -High School Cross Country .

November 12 - Albuquerque - Open Cross Country.

November 19 - Albuquerque 20 Kilometer Cham -

pionships, 12.4 miles. For information on any of

these meets, contact Bob Umstead at 678-4135 or 523-4156.

The Interior Department has announced waterfowl hunting regulations for the fall.

They include a ban against hunting canvasback ducks and also redhead ducks, except in the Pacific Flyway .

Other regulations remain about the same as last year.

The Department says the numbers of canvasbacks and redheads have steadily declined in recent seasons, despite reduced hunting bags .

Interior Secretary Rogers Morton says neither specie is in danger of extinction, but both are in trouble, and stern measures are needed to help rebuild their populations.

He says he agrees with the recommendations of waterfowl experts that, "If we err, we should err on the side of sound 2onservation."

WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGER, AUGUST 18, 1972 ~PAGE 5

Two ewes die at refuge One of the rams recently

captured on the San Andres Wildlife Refuge at White Sands is the suspected culprit in the deaths of two desert bighorn ewes at the Red Rock Wildlife Refuge just north of Lord­sburg, N.M.

The loss was a second major setback for the desert bighorn sheep program sponsored by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish.

Department officials have pointed out, however, that with a total of nine remaining sheep, including two rams , three mature ewes and four lambs, a strong desert bighorn program is still in effect at Red Rock. In addition, the Department has scheduled and has approval for the capture of five more ewes to add to the breeding herd in late October.

The second loss of a mature sheep came July 28, when the first of the ewes was found dead in a holding pen adjacent to the recently completed 500-acre desert bighorn pasture . This was five days after the ram had been placed in the pen.

An autopsy showed that death was caused by severe thorax burises, apparently an injury received from being butted by the ram .

Golfers rest up until Wednesday

Intramural golf teams are taking a breather until their teammates return from the Fifth Army tournament at Ft. Polk, La.

The first day's scores from that tournament show the WSMR golfers holding down fifth place in the 10 team tournament with an aggregate score of 401.

Ft. Sill, OK leads the contest with a 375 total.

Individual competition places SP5 Michael Peterson tied for second with a 72, two strokes behind the leader, and SGT Eugene McClure, Jr . with a 74.

Intramural Play will resume Wednesday in a race which now shows a comfortable twenty-four point lead for the SAFSEA No. l team over the HQ & HQ No. 1 golfers.

It had · been planned to hold the sheep in the pen for two weeks but, in an effort to prevent similar injuries, they were released just after the first ewe was lost. - Thr® of the ewes and one ram were observed almost daily for a week after the release into the large pasture. Then, Saturday, the body of the other ewe was found. It had been dead several days and the body was decomposed to the point that no autopsy was possible. It is suspected, however. that this ewe was also injured by the ram prior to release into the large pasture and didn't die until after the release.

The first setback in the program occurred in July when the only ram in the herd at that time. a two-year-old captured from the San Andres National Wildlife Refuge in April, was frightened by a

thunder and lightening storm and ran into a corral fence, breaking its neck.

Department director Ladd S. Gordon said, "We still have a good nucleus of sheep for our desert bighorn breeding herd and we are not going to let a couple of setbacks endanger the entire program. It is un­fortunate, " the Director continued , " that after our success in capturing these sheep, we have lost three of them so early in the project.

Cooler water best for luck with trout

By Hal Simmons Associated Press

Trout fishing dur ing the summer months in New Mexico is strongly influenced by water temperatures.

This is one reason fishing invariably is better in early morning and late evening. The water is simply cooler at those times.

During the recent hot spell, for instance, water tem­peratures in some very small mountain streams climbed to the upper 70s, and occasionally crept into the low 80s. When the water gets that warm, it is a lucky angler who takes a trout.

Most sporting goods stores carry small water ther­mometers for about $2-4, and they can be a good investment. In summer months , if the water temperature is ranging in the upper 50s or lower 60s, it should be right for good fishing .

As the sun gets hot later in the day, only good shade or cold springs along the water course will keep the tem­perature from climbing to the too hot range for trout fishing.

It also appears to be true that in spring and fall , if the water temperature is too low, a sudden warming will cause trout to start feeding .

If an angler is working .the higher mountain country in New Mexico, where there are both lakes and streams, it might be profitable to work the streams early and late, since there the water temperature

will fluctuate with tem­peratures of the day.

In the lake , however , even though the surface water temperature gets hot at midday. underlying levels may sustain cold waters and keep the trout rather active.

Thus . even if the surface temperatures climb into the 70s, there may be some stratas of colder water a foot or two below the surface. The trout may be willing to swim through the hotter water to take the fly or lure.

A campaign to raise $13,000 to open an office for the Dona Ana County Citizens' Drug Commission began last week with the first contribution coming from the WSMR Of­ficer's Wives Club.

In a letter accompanying their $50 donation, the wives club noted that the drug abuse situation is a "joint problem," and expressed appreciation "for the help the commission gives to programs at White Sands."

tribution was the first received from the 128 area organizations solicited by the Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce, which is handling the fund-raising.

The drug commission is currently working out of offices at Mayfield High School in Las Cruces, but will have to vacate those offices when school starts. The money raised will be used to rent and equip office space in Las Cruces. The commission must have an office to be eligible for state and federal funds.

Commission projects include a methadone treatment center, working out of the Las Cruces hospital and a store-front operation, where those with a drug problem can walk in off the street and receive assistance.

The commission hopes to provide both counseling and rehabilitation services, and six members of the commission recently returned from drug seminars in Texas.

Jack McAhen , the coor­dinator for the commission said, " We are certain area residents are aware of the drug problem in Dona Ana County and will want to help to the best of their capabilities. Con­sequently we hope that in­dividuals as well as organizations will join in the drive."

Contributions may be sent to the Dona Ana County Citizens' Drug Commission, P .O. Box 157, Las Cruces , N.M. 88001.

Other contributors so far include the city of Las Cruces, $2,000 and $100 from the Broncos of the Chamber of

Sizing up the meat By the Associated Press

Beef, lamb and mutton, broiler and turkey production is above that of a year ago, but pork and veal production is down.

Feeders report that they will send nine per cent more cattle to packers in July-September than were sold in the same period of 1971. This would be a record number slaughtered.

Broiler supplies have totaled six per cent more to date than in 1971; July-September supplies are expected to be four per cent larger than last summer.

Though turkey meat production has been 12 per cPnt larger than a year ago, con­sumption has outpaced production.

Summertime is steak time. When demand is strong and prices up, retailers sometimes try for acceptable steaks from cuts that are marketed generally as roasts. This in­volves the beef forequarter, the chuck. If you do not recognize the cut of meat or the name, ask the meat department personn~I.

The chuck of heavy beef can

'Dope Stop' begins A "Dope Stop - Teen In­

The program is aimed solely at prevention and makes use of youth to educate youth.

"Dope Stop" was developed in Phoenix, Arizona, two years ago and was introduced into military dependent schools in Europe and the Far East. The success of the program prompted the Quantico Marine Corps Base, Virginia, Drug Council to send four Quantico

High School students to a two­week training symposium at Phoenix in 1971.

The teenagers - all 18 years old - were formed into two teams upon return from Phoenix and visited one of three grade school classes assigned them each week. Acceptance of the program by the grade school students of Quantico has been extremely high.

The four teen counselors have been hired by the Department of Defense and will be available from July 1, 1972 to June 30, 1973.

be boned and cut to a better advantage than standard blade bone and arm bone steaks permit. Some muscles of the chuck from high U.S. choice beef are very acceptable for dry heat cooking when properly cut.

Pretendered beef producers have worked for several years to develop a trade in cuts with special names. Papain from unripe papaya fruit is used as the tenderizing agent.

Papain was used by Indians of tropical America long before Columbus came. They wrapped their chicken and wild game in bruised papaya leaves overnight before cooking and added papaya fruit to their stews.

Marinate two-inch thick arm bone and blade bone, U.S. choice grade steaks several hours in your favorite marinade containing vinegar, tomato juice, or a dry wine. Grill slowly until the meat is tender, then finish off quickly at a high heat. The steak will be delicious and the money spent will be reasonable.

New system for officer records announced by DA

of officers of questionable suitability being considered for sensitive positions of authority and responsibility because of a lack of information .

Here's some background on ·• the officer military personnel filing system that may help in understanding it: by the Ranger's Own Service

The Department of the Army has announced changes in the officer personnel records system correcting an im­balance between the rights of the individual and the interests of the Army in the filing of adverse information.

DA Message 102141Z April, 1972 gives the following changes:

All general officers will have the prerogative to authorize an administrative reprimand to be permanently filed in the officer's efficiency files maintained at Headquarters, DA.

Article 15 proceedings will become a permanent part of the efficiency files .

The regulation on officer efficiency reporting, AR 623-105, will be changed to allow delayed information, such as

the results of investigations and surveys, not available at the time the report is written, but started during the rating period, to be added to the file.

These changes are the first of a series of actions designed to improve professionalism in the Army by promoting and selecting for favorable per­sonnel actions only those in­dividuals who have demon­strated sustained professional performance, DA said.

The goal is to achieve the highest standards of professionalism by giving the dedicated, selfless majority of officers and enlisted men and women a fairer chance for advancement and professional development. DA is now studying a similar system for enlisted personnel.

Guidance issued to com­manders and promotion-

selection boards will em­phasize that the weight to be given to derogatory in­formation will be progressively greater over an officer 's career. Junior officers will be given challenging op­portunities to learn and develop. This means they wilJ be given the broadest possible latitude in their actions and not be "washed out " for minor misbehavior or honest mistakes chargeable to sincere but misguided efforts.

The changes will become effective during the 1st Qtr FY 73.

Our present officer personnel records system too often discourages or prohibits filing information concerning deficiencies and shortcomings in an officer's character or professional performance . This results in some instances

There are three basic files on every officer :

1. TAG file at DA. This consists of two parts : the Personnel Folder and the Efficiency File.

2. Military Personnel Records Jacket, commonly known as the field 201 file .

3. Investigative File main­tained a t Fort Holabird, Maryland containing dossiers e of security , military police, criminal , and other in­vestigations made on an in­dividual.

Administrative reprimands are placed in the 201 file and retained until the officer is reassigned. Now it is destroyed when the individual leaves the unit. Under the new system , a general officer may decide the case is serious enough to send to Efficiency File at DA.
