Today’s Texas Special is a com-
pletely NEW kind of beer . . . NEW

Of interest to former Air
Force personnel of this area is
the fact that the Schulenburg
Elight of the 9871st Air Reserve
Squadron is in process of begin-
ning specialized training. This
is a new program in the Air
Force in which the reservist at-
tends twenty-four training pe-
riods a year and he receives one
day’s pay for each period that
he attends.
The new program offers an
excellent opportunity to both
officers and airmen to train
with pay while earning retire-
ment benefits and promotion
qualifications.
Full information about the
program will be available at a
meeting at the American Legion
The Bureau reported a sharp
