PERSONALITY PROFILE:
Betty Whale-ARC Volunteer
MRS. BETTY WHALE
By MRS. ELLEN CASTLE
It is with deep regret that the
American Red Cross Volunteers
at Fort Wolters must bid a fond
and sad adieu to Betty Whale, re-
cruiting chairman for the American
Red Cross, and wife of MAJ Ray-
mond Whale of Flight B-4, of Flight
Division, who is departing for Viet-
nam.
The Whales arrived at Fort Wol-
ters on Jan. 31, 1966, and Betty
became the recruiting chairman for
the American Red Cross here in
September, 1966. By attending an
average of six coffees of various
units, the Officers Wives' Club lun-
cheons and the newcomer's coffees
each month, she has successfully
recruited approximately 154 volun-
teers.
Fred W. Parnell, executive sec-
retary and director of Red Cross
activities in Palo Pinto County and
acting director of Red Cross acti-
vities at Fort Wolters, has pre-
sented Betty with a certificate in
appreciation for work on the volun-
teer board as chairman of recruit-
ment and efforts in recruitment
and training of the largest class in
the Fort Wolters volunteer history.
In addition to the many hours
spent in this activity, the acting B
Branch commander's wife, works 3
1/2 hours a week in the Out-Patient
Clinic at Beach Army Hospital.
She is the mother of four, Rob-
ert, age 12, Luann, eight, Laura,
six, and Nancy, four.
When precious free time pre-
sents itself, Betty enjoys sewing,
mostly clothes for the children, nee-
dlework, reading, preferably mys-
teries, bowling and baking.
Betty hails from Decatur, 111.
She met her husband while she was
working for the Signal Depot in De-
catur. She has been an Army wife
for 16 years.
After their marriage, Major
Whale departed for Korea and Betty
stayed in Decatur. They were next
assigned to Camp Wolters, then an
Air Force base, then to San Marcus,
Tex. for Flight School, followed by
Fort Sill, Okla*, then Heidelberg,
Germany where Robert was born,
followed by Fort Campbell, Ky„,
where Luann was born. Panama
was next followed by Lima, Peru,
where Laura was born, then to Fort
Lewis, Wash. Enroute to Fort Lew-
is, Nancy was born in a civilian
hospital in Decatur. Betty came
here from Decatur while her hus-
band spent 18 months in Tehran,
Iran.
As she has done before when
hardship tours have separated the
family, Betty is returning to De-
catur, where she plans on devoting
all of her time to her children and
family.

What's the catch?
There isn't any. That's the price of our
new 1967 Volkswagen DeLuxe Sedan.
It includes the built-in heater/defroster,
windshield washer, 2-speed windshield
wipers, driver armrest and two back-up
lights.
Theres' one option that makes a lot of
sense: matching leatherette upholstery for
$30 extra.
Of course, you'll have to buy license
plates and pay local tax.
And that's it. (Unless, of course, you
count the cost of gas and oil it takes you
to get here in your present car.)
