This Pre-Cana Conference is to

thinking and preparation before
marriage.
Father Wersing says All cou
ples marry figuring they will
be happy. Unfortunately mc™
than two out of five marriages
in the USA land in the divorce
or separation courts. The know
ledge and motivation given in the
Pre-Cana Conference can go far
toward furthering a soldier's pro
spects of a lasting and happy
marriage."

TEMPLE
Chamber of Commerce
Driver Improvement Class
Aids At Fort Sam Houston
olations are required to at
tend.
Held in the 250-seat hospital au
ditorium safe driving classes fea
ture sound films and color slides
on safe driving techniques. Usual
ly two or three guest speakers
from the city police department
and the Texas Department of
Public Safety donate their time
to teach the course.
According to Maj. Deyeso city
and state police officials have co
operated enthusiastically to make
the school a success.
"Officers from both depart
ments have cheerfully agreed to
help out whenever we've called
on them" Deyeso said. Satur
days when the classes are held
is usually their 'day off' but
they volunteer just the same."
Explaining classroom proced
ure Deyeso said an hour or two
is devoted to showing films fol
lowed by chalk talks diagrams
and reading safety literature
handed out before the course be
gins. No traffic violator regard
less of grade or sex is exempt
from attending the course.
At the end of each class stu
dents must answer about 35 ques
tions taken from the Texas Driv
ing Handbook and from military
safe driving pamphlets. Subjects
are selected to correspond with
the applicable traffic violations
that have occurred during the
month.
Deyeso said he thought
classes were more effecitve
than fines.
"A traffic violator usually pays
fine and chalks it up to ex
perience" he said "then cusses
his bad luck because he was
caught. But when an offender has
to attend the course on his own
time he thinks twice before com
mitting the violation again."
Maj. Deyeso pointed out that
military parents sometimes re
quire their driver-age children to
attend the course to familizarize
them with traffic safety rules.
A program is now being consid
ered to allow civilians who wish
to learn the ru 1 to attend
classes.
He said two of the largest mil
itary safe driving problems were
the tremendous turn over of
troops at the post and drivers
who arrive here with driving li
censes from states with different
driving rules.
While 34 post entrances and
exits catering to thousands of ve
hicles daily make Fort Sam Hous
ton exceptionally vulnerable to
traffic infringements he also
Craig Named KB
Driver Of Month
SP-4 James A. Craig Hq. &
Hq. Co. Killeen Base was
awarded a letter of commenda
tion for bein chosen Military
Driver of the Month for April.
The letter signed by Col. Wal
ter A. Shaw Base Commander
lauded Specialist Craig for com
plying with the laws and regula
tions governing the operation of
Military Motor vehicles observ
ing rules of safe driving and
the care and maintenance of gov
ernment vehicles.
The thirty-two year-old sol
dier was chosen after care
ful consideration and elim
ination of some two hundred
and fifty military drivers.
Specialist Craig a warehouse
clerk entered the Army in Sept
ember of 1950 and received his
basic military training at Fort
Knox Ky. He attended the Quar
termaster School at Fort Lee
Va. before being assigned to
Killeen Base.
He is a native of Covington
Ky. and attended Carligle High
School for two years. Before en
tering the Army he was em
ployed as a truck driver by
Montbomery Heating and Supply
Co in Covington.
His wife Juliana and his par
ents Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Craig
reside in Covington
noted that permanent party sol
diers stationed here are rarely
involved in traffic violations.
Although the school gets 50
to 60 students each month
Deyeso thinks the military
traffic violation record is not
very bad at the post.
Most soldier offenders are cited
for minor infringements of the
safety rules and the school usual
ly straightens them out so effec
tively there have been no repeat
ers of those who have attended
the course.
He also gives credit for the low
rate of violations to the continu
ous traffic safety program con
ducted at the post.
Once a month at Fort Sam
Houston a general safety council
meets to take action on safety
hazards or problems. Delinquent
drivers found guilty of a DWI
charge are barred from driving
on the post and are ordered to
attend the school.
Faler Named Top
Man Of Divarty
M-Sgt. George W. Faler of Bat
tery "A" 1st Howitzer Battalion
14th Artillery has been selected
as the outstanding soldier of the
2nd Armored Division Artillery
for Grades E-5 through E-7.
Sgt. Faler a native of Vinita
Okla. entered the Army in May
1948. He served in Berlin Ger
many during the Airlift Days and
again in Western Germany dur
ing the period from 1955 to 1958
He joined Division Artillery in
May 1958.
Presently serving as Battery
A's Chief of Firing Battery. Sgt
Faler won the award on the basis
of job knowledge appearance
performance of duty and gen
eral military competence.

which will' be offered at Army
installations and activities in the
Fourth Army area. The institute
will acquaint installation repre
sentatives with the course and
will be helpful in conducting the
course at their home stations.
The course gives special
emphasis to the non-verbal

Frequently a unit commanding
officer requires that the offender
submit a written report why the
violation occurred. If a unit com
mander thinks he has a hot rod
der in his outfit he merely rec
ommends him for the school.
Maj. Deyeso pointed out that
every year around furlough time
troops are given safety talks and
attend outdoor braking demon
strations.
The program is backed to the
hilt by Maj. Gen. William E.
Shambora Brooke Army Medical
Center Commanding General and
Post Commander Col. Henry
Taylof
The program not only af
fects soldiers with privately
owned automobiles but also
government vehicle operators
who must attend a rugged
40 hour driving course at
Camp Bullis before being li
censed to drive.
The government vehicle pro
gram is under the supervision of
Maj. John Redding BAMC Trans
portation officer. All privately-
owned vehicles must have a Tex
as safety sticker attached to the
windshield before they can be
registered on post.
As an incentive to safe driving
practices an unmarked camera
car patrols Fort Sam Houston to
seek the
driver-of-the-month.
If everything coincides with
what the safety council judges to
be excellent driving the operator
is cited with a certificate. Judg
ing is so strict that for two
months recently no driver was
honored. Everyone including gov
ernment civilian employes is el
igible for the certificate.
Maj. Deyeso said that safe
driving practices are the re
sult of constant endeavor on
the driver's part.
"Our safe driving course" he
said "is designed not only to
show a driver what mistakes he
makes and how to correct them
but also to prove he must stay
constantly alert and anticipate ev
ery move plus those of other driv
ers while behind the wheel of an
automobile."

Teenage
Chatter
By NELLIE DIAZ
Since cotton is the coolest ma
terial to wear during the sum
mer the Club last Friday held a
"COTTON DANCE' to welcome
the summer ahead (and from all
indications it's going to be a hot
one
To be admitted you had to
wear cotton clothes or your con
sequence was to wear a COTTON
PATCH which was pinned on you
at the door for the remainder
of the evening.
The dance was a real hit and
everyone seemed to have an en
joyable time. Saturday night the
Buffet was a big success also.
Tonight will be the begin
ning of he tournaments ping
pong chess checkers and
various others. In order to
participate you must sign up
though so be sure you get
your name down. Of course
there will be dancing as al
ways.
Tomorrow night will be our
monthly BIRTHDAY NITE hon
oring all the teenagers whose
birthdays are in May. All will
get a cake as a gift from the
club. Members are the ONLY
ONES ELIGIBLE REMEMBER.
Sunday will be open to regular
activities such as record danc
ing games and lots of "gab."
The teenage Host and Hostess
for this weekend are tonight
Darrel Rumpf and Mary Lopez
Saturday night Don Moon and
Kay Holloway Sunday Robert
Wing and Joy Johnson.
A

Adult assistants in addition to
the regular host and hostess will
be—M-Sgt. and Mrs. Bill Holley
tonight and Saturday M-Sgt. and
Mrs. John C. Arvin.
Now for the sad news—As
of June 1 we are going to
lose our present host and
hostess—Capt. and Mrs. Piet-
rantonio who have worked so
hard for our club.
Capt Pete has received PCS
orders for the regular advance
course for medical administrative
officers. We will miss these two
but we know that our loss is
someone else's gain.
We're also losing SFC M. C.
Gunter from our senior council.
Sgt. Gunter has received orders
for the far east and on his de
parture we wish to express our
appreciation for his time and as
sistance with us teenagers.
Some goo dnews however is
that the Petes will be suc
ceeded by two people who
we all know and admire M-
Sgt. and Mrs. Hugh Hall.
Both have been active with
teenagers all their adult lives
in addition to having teen
agers of their own.
Mrs. Hall has been working
with us for quite some time in
addition to working with scouts
and other teenage activities. M-
Sgt. Hall has a record which
well qualifies him. He is an eagle
scout and has been a scout mas
ter and cub scout den father in
the scouting program.
He was athletic director at the
Bidford City Park in Memphis
Tenn. for quite some time in
addition to being a PT (Physical
Training) instructor at Fort
Benning Ga. for six years.
Both Sgt. and Mrs. Hall are

Ultimate Rocket
Fuel Production
Revealad By AF
Andrews AFB Md. (AFPS)
Liquid hydrogern identified by
Air Force scientists as an ulti
mate chemical fuel is being pro-
ducr1 on a large scale for use as
a rocket propellant according to
Lt. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever
Commander Air Research and
Development Command.
Presently being produced in
Ohio California and Florida the
new fuel has an energy content
nearly three times that of pres
ent fuels. When it is combined
with liquid oxygen the hydrogen
in liquid form gives an increase
in thrust of approximately 40 per
cent over present rocket propel-
lants.
The availability of liquid hy
drogen in large amounts will
make possible a new era in
chemical rocket propulsion sys
tems and vehicles. The use of
this new fuel in rocket engines
will provide substantial payload
increases in the upper stages of
missiles and space vehicles.
These applications along
with use in nuclear rockets
will bring about missile and
space capabilities considered
nearly impossible before the
advent of the new fuel.
Before the new fuel could be
come available in quantities large
enough to be worthwhile many
extremely difficult problems had
to be overcome.
One of the main problems con
cerned the temperature of liquid
hydrogen approximately 240 de
grees Fahrenheit below zero. Pro
gress on the fuel has now ad
vanced to the stage where over-
the-road transportation of liquid
New Super-Speed

Now in Operation
WASHINGTON (AFPS)—Opera
tion of the nation's newest and
fastest automatic teletypewriter
'communications system has been
announced by the Navy.
The network linking naval in
stallations in 103 cities from coast
to coast handles about 9 million
words daily.
Rear Adm. Frank Virden Di
rector of Naval Communications
said the new system "enhances
the Navy's combat readiness by
vastly increasing the speed of re
laying messages."
The 48 thousand-mile net
work interconnects 236 tele
typewriter stations in 31
states.
The Navy said the new system
is handling about 95 per cent
of the command and administrat
ive messages in the continental
U.S.
In addition to serving 236 sta
tions on the basic network the
system is connected with 85 other
stations on a semi-automatic 5
000-mile network.

hydrogen has become routine.
Work on the project was
inititated several years ago
when ARDC and the Air Ma
terial Command awarded con
tracts for the engineering de
sign and construction of liquid
hydrogen production facilities.
The first two plants to produce
liquid hydrogen for the Air Force
were built by Air Products Inc.
at Painesville Ohio and Stearns-
Roger Manufacturing Co. at Bak-
ersfiled Calif. Both have long pro
vided the fuel for initial testing
and development purposes to sup
port AF programs.
To provide the larger quantities
needed for full-sclae development
of the program the AF awarded
a further contract to Air Products
Inc. for the design and construc
tion of a large plant to be located
in Palm Beach County Fla. This
plant has been producing success
fully for several months.
Radar Picket
Ship Supplied
By Air Drop
WASHINGTON (AFPS)-Emer-
gency supplies and equipment can
now be readily delivered to ships
at sea-by means of an air drop
The method was tested by the
successful parachuting of gener
ator parts to the radar picket
ship Haverfield in the north Pa
cific recently.
Boxed in a water-tight metal
container the generator parts
were dropped from a Super Con
stellation plane and recovered
from a rough sea six minutes
later in good condition.
"The. very nature of ships
deployed along the 1500-mile
DEW Pacific Barrier requires
that we find a fast and ef
fective way of getting emer
gency supplied to them" a
Navy official said.
With radar picket ships on the
line 20 to 30 days at a time
frequent trips to shore stations
to replenish supplies or repair
complicated electronic systems
were necessary in the past.
A utilization of larger para
chutes and containers capable of
carrying hundreds of pounds of
equipment has made the air drops
practicable in almost any kind
of weather an important time-
saving instrument.
