Four split $655
for suggestions
saving $6,690
Suggestion award checks
totaling $655 have been
presented to four persons
through the U.S., Army Incentive Awards Program at
White Sands Missile Range.
The four adopted suggestions
are saving the government
$6,690 annually in costs of labor
and materials and are
resulting in other benefits.
John H. Kopf of El Paso,
employed in the Movement
Services Division of Logistics
Directorate, received a $255
award. He suggested installation of a multi-dial
telephone and intercom system
in the division, which now
handles approximately 500
calls daily. The idea is saving
the government about $4,067
per year through greater efficiency and reduced manhours.
A $155 award went to Chief
Warrant Officer Jerry D.
Dickson of Alamogordo, a
e branch chief with WSMR's
Army Air Operations Directorate at Holloman Air Force
Base. He suggested an improved procedure for inspecting fuel cells in OH-58A
helicopters. The change is
saving
the
Army
approximately $752 annually in
labor costs and is resulting in
reduced maintenance and
inspection time for the
helicopters and their ground
tlcrews.
'
John D. Westbrook of
Alamogordo, also employed
with Army Air Operations
Directorate, received an
award of $145. He designed a
new tool for use in removing
tail rotor drive shaft bearings
on OH-58A helicopters. Use of
the tool expedites replacement
of the bearings, saving the
government about $1,871 annually.
A $100 2ward was presented
to Robert G. Starman of Las
Cruces, employed in the
Civilian Personnel Division. He
suggested a new format for
personnel management
statistical reports made to
higher headquarters. The new
format speeds up reporting
procedures and provides more
useful dat ... for personnel officials in higher headquarters.

Chief Petty Officer Glenn

to remove a piece of rope from
the neck of a young pup that
day on Kodiak . "I sure wasn't
thinking of adding to my
family," he says.
• But that's the way things
turned out. Chief Brimm,
assigned to a Naval Support
Activity on Kodiak, removed
the tightened rope from the
pup's neck and then returned to
his car. But the pup jumped
into the car first. "I put that
dog out, but then it followed the

Motorcycle Club offers varied
programs for bike enthusiasts
As Spring makes its appearance in New Mexico many
of the activities that go with
warm weather in the Southwest also appear.
One of the most popular in
this area is motorcycling in one
of its many forms. Unfortunately here on post, there
continue to be violations of
motorcycle rules, despite the
tremendous facilities provided
for bike riders.
On the road toward the El
Paso gate there are four areas
set aside solely for the use of
off-the-road bikes.
These areas, according to
Gary Parrish, president of the
White Sands Motorcycle Club,
offer the off-the-road rider
everything he could want to
sharpen and challenge his
riding ability .
One area, and all areas are
clearly marked, is desert,
grass and hummocks. Another
is rocky and provides a real
challenge to the off-the-road
riders. There are also sandy
areas, trails and wide open
spaces - everything for the
biker.
Closer to home, there is an
area just west of the Navy
compound provided for the
minibikes. Provisions have
been made to allow the minis to
cross roads to get to that area
even through they are not
usually allowed on the paved
surfaces.
For other types of bike activity, the post club provides an
outlet. Last summer they
sponsored road tours and a
trail ride to Cloudcroft. The
area around Cloudcroft offers
an outstanding spot to run the
bikes through different trails.
They also traveled to Las
Cruces, where they spent a day
off-the-road riding with area
motorcycle clubs . Though
there is nu organized affiliation
between the various motorcycle clubs, there is informal
contact and the clubs invite
each other to their events.
Parrish calls the club a place
for fun and safety . On the
safety end, the club sponsors
defensive driving classes, free
of charge, for all personnel at
the range. The eight hours of
instruction includes several
hours of classroom work and
several hours of practical
exercise . The course is accredited by the Navy Safety
C~nter and is a requirement for
all Navy riders on post. It has
been extended to allow interested Army anrl Air Force
personnel to attend.
Post regulations do not
require any safety program
completion for motorcycle
licensing, and according to the
Provost Marshal's office, the
post regulations follow the New
Mexico regulations very
closely.
There are some places
around the housing area that
are off limits to motorcycles.
These include all service roads
on the north, west and southwest perimeter of the housing
area and the manmade levee
around the west and south
sides of the golf course.
There have been complaints
about riders using these areas
and the Provost Marshal has
instructed the Military Police
to check the areas and cite
violators.
Continued violations of
motorcycle regulations can
only lead to implementation of
stricter regulations, and that
would hurt all bike riders.

Whose pie?
Many whites are afraid of physical violence from blacks.
Many blacks are afraid of hassles from whites. We are all
afraid because we don't understand what is happening in the
world around us.
Mariy blacks are afraid of the white superiority complex.
Many whites are afraid that blacks want a piece of their pie.
That's where the problem comes in. Because it's not the whites'
pie at all . The pie belongs to everybody in the United States
who's willing to work for it. The black man wants an equal
share for an equal amount of effort and he hasn't been getting
it.
Whites also think that the black person hasn't been getting it
and this might be the one place where whites and blacks agree.
But it's also the point of departure for their basic difference.
The difference is the black man wants his share of the pie; not
more than his share and not somebody else's pie. The white is
concerned that if the black gets a bigger share, he (the white)
will have to give up part of his share.
The fact of the matter is, there's plenty of pie for everybody
and the pie can be made bigger if we allow more people a
chance to help it grow. This is what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
tried to accomplish in his lifetime - create an understanding
that there was enough pie for everyone. The black doesn't want
a handout, but he does want equal opportunity to get at the pie.
Everyone can benefit. The bigger the pie, the bigger each piece.
Even if more people share it the individual benefit is greater.
We can't begin to understand what makes each person tick.
It's difficult to overcome prejudice, myth, legend, and
stereotype, but there's one thing we can all do and that's make
the pie bigger. Equal opportunity for blacks means greater
opportunity for whites. Take a moment and learn to know your
brother a little better - eat a piece of pie with him. Don't be
afraid. (AFNS)

By Fred Gass
Tragically, too many persons
are unaware of the fact that the
heart is a muscle (pump) that
improves (like all muscles do)
with work.
The heart's only job is to
keep pumping blood through
your arteries and veins. In an
adult this means that about
five quarts of blood circulates
through about 100,000 miles of
large and small blood vessels.
The circulating blood helps
cool you or warm you,
depending on the temperature
which surrounds your body; it
nourishes your uncountable
billions of body cells with fresh
oxygen and gathers up waste
carbon dioxide; it supplies
nutrients, vitamins, minerals
and other substances to the
system.
Blood keeps you alive. But if
the pump (heart> that circulates blood throughout your
system is weaker than it should
be, then your entire network of
blood vessels doesn't function
as effectively as it should.
The exercise that the
average person gets daily is
not enough to maintain good
health. Dr. Morris Fishbein in
"Medical World New~ "
represented the consensus ~f
the
American
Medical
Association when he recently
said: "Real physical fitness
results only from progressively
increasing one's capacity for
physical activity."
And Dr. Bruce E. Douglass,
chairman of the division of
environmental medicine the
Mayo Clinic, said: "Once
considered an indulgence for a
few, exercise is now a must for
all."
The amount of exercise?
Mayo Clinic's Dr. Donald
Erickson, of the physical
,medicine and rehabilitation
department, says: "Exercise
until you 're somewhat short of
breath. Like any other muscle,
the heart needs deep swings of
demand - maximum work
maximum rest."
'
For the normal person, Dr.
Erickson
recommends
jogging, brisk walking or
swimming.
The magic of exercise is
fantastic . For if you take Dr.
Erickson's
advice
and
"exercise
until
you're
somewhat short of breath"
you 'II happily discover that
through regular exercise it's
taking you longer, during each
exercise period, to reach that
state of being short of breath.
As each day goes by you'll be
increasing your endurance
through exercise
strengthening your heart'.

Nothing could be farther
from the truth. This popular
misconception often shortens
lives and fills the passing years
with the miseries of high blood
pressure, other heart and
circulatory conditions and a
wide variety of physical
complaints.
Regardless of age, persons in
poor shape should first get a
doctor's checkup then start
exercising very gradually.
Time and patience are
essential. There are no shortcuts. Even the most perfect
conditioning progrnm requires
the passing of time to bring
results. The unhealthier you
are, the longer it takes to
transform
yourself into
physical fitness.

PEACE ON EARTH - GOOD
WILL TO MEN has been an
ideal long aspired by the
human race ever since the
world began. All we have to do
is pick up the Bible or a history
book and find out that this is
fact. Anyway, to get to the
subject at hand, what greater
tribute to this country than to
have found the way to "peace"
and to have its long missing
sons (prisoners of war) back
where they have always
belonged. May God Bless
America and may He also
always smile upon this
country.

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS
was the title to a movie that
was nominated for an academy
award about two calendars
ago. Well, we happen to know a
man who would qualify for this
title in the field of training.
That man is Bob Barcus,
training instructor, U.S. Civil
Service Commission, Dallas,
TX. You see Bob is the type of
person who is so enthusiastic
about the courses he teaches
that you not only enjoy them
but become totally engrossed
in the subject at hand. Bob had
Paul Cazaboun, also CSC from

with the afternoon classes.
With such competent personnel

To rise from a GS-2 to a GS-11
rating is a feat many of us
would like to brag about - if it
ever happened to us.
It happened to Miss Nora
Gonzalez. Or. rather, it didn't
just happen; she achieved it
thMugh a lot of hard work and
study.
l\liss Gonzalez. now a
computer programmer in the
Management
Information
Svstems Office here. started to
,,:ork at White Sands as a GS-2
equipment operator . But.
determined not to remain in
this pcsition and grade. she
trained during the four years
she had the job. taking on-post
math and statistics courses .
"I knew the field was almost
unlimited and that advancement depended mainly
on how much I was willing to
train myself." she said.
After attending various
Army schools to complete her
training,
Miss
Gonzalez
became a GS-7 computer
operator.

Eleven civilians employed
by the U.S. Army at White
Sands Missile Range have been
presented
performance
awards through the Incentive
Awards Program.
The recipients included five
El Paso residents, five Las
Cruces residents and one from
Mesilla, N .M.
El Paso award winners were
Donald T. Mount, chief of the
1',orce Development Division,
quality step increase; Judson
L.
Caruthers,
Pictorial
Division, special act ; Ramiro
Belmontes , Security Office,
and Vernon L . Lawson,

Sauceda, Security Office,
quality step increase .
Heceiving a
s ustained
superior performance award
was r'ilimon P . Nieto Jr. of
Mesilla. employed in Logistics
Directorate.
"I'm lucky that I got into a
developing field," she explained. "When I started there
weren't many people in the
computer field, and the
government was anxious to
train us."
Shortly after attaining her
GS-7 rating. Miss Gonzalez was
asked if she were willing to go
to France.
She accepted the offer from
Washington and soon arrived
at Orleans. France, where she
was trained as a computer
programmer. During her twovear tour there she achieved a
GS-9 and later a GS-11 rating.
··An added benefit was ... she
said. "getting to see Europe
during my off-duty time."
Soon after returning from
France. Miss Gonzalez was
aga in on the road. this time for
a six-month tour in Vietnam
where she worked with
logistics.
"That trip was the experience of my life." the busy
lady said. "I was there during
the Tet offensive and learned
first hand what was going on."
She worked with the Red
Cross throughout the tour and
says she'll be glad to go back if
the opportunity ever arises for
another tour .
Miss Gonzalez is currently
training in the systems
analysis field. She says she
hopes to eventually earn a
degree in the computer
sciences or a related field.
She says she enjoys the
constantly changing nature of
her work, although she admits
that keeping up with the job
and travel sometimes involves
sacrifices.
Miss Gonzalez spent two
years. 1969-71, at U .S. Army
Test and Evaluation Command
headquarters at Aberdeen
Proving Ground working on
Project TEAM-UP as a lead
programmer and then traveled
to most TECOM instillations to
initiate the system.
During her hours away from
her job, Miss Gonzalez is as
busy as during her hours at
work.
The native of El Paso is
president <for the second timel
of the White Sands Toastmistress Club and is initiating
a program to interest more
women in participating in the
club .
She's also national chairman
of a veterans organization,
vice-president of a Department
of Labor veterans manpower
program, vice-president of
SER (Service, Employment
and Rehabilitation Program l,
and project director of WICS
<Women in Community Service l, a Job Corps program.
"The projects keep me busy,
so much so that almost every
evening is occupied." Miss
Gonzalez said, "But when I see
people being helped by the
efforts I make, it makes it all
well worthwhile."
Though not adequate to
repay all the time and effort
expended, Miss Gonzalez has
received numerous awards. At
work she has received two
Sustained Superior Performance Awards.
The award of which she is
probably most proud is the
Bronze Medallion which she
received in 1967 from President
Johnson for her work in her
community. She was the only
woman on the White House
workshop-eonference for the
settlement of the Chamizal
problem .
Happiness
and
job
satisfaction as great as that
enjoyed by Miss Gonzalez is
not achieved by all women who
work for the Army.
At White Sands the Federal
Women's committee (under
the
Equal
Opportunity
Program) is working to help
women identify the training
and jobs best suited to their
abilities.
Women interested in the
work of the committee are
invited to call Frances

hat's your Black history l.Q.?
Last week wa-s National
Black History Week, but our
awareness and knowledge of
Black history should not be
confined to one week of each
year but, rather, 52 weeks.
To create a greater
awareness of Black history and
of the contributions of individual Blacks to our way of
life, this quiz is being
presented . Try to match the
pictures
with
their
biographies.
I. The son or a French
general nicknamed the "Black
Devil" , he made and lost 10
fortunes. A witty, dashing
figure, he took iiterary Paris
by storm. In the 68 years he
lived, he produced some 277
volumes, including "The Three
Musketeers" and "The Count
of Monte Cristo".
2. A long-time civil rights
advocate, he was one of the
thirteen people in the first
group of Freedom Riders and
participated actively in the
continuing struggle for racial
equality . He helped to found
the Congress on Racial
Equality <CORE) in 1942 and
has served as its national
director.
:I.
In
a
survey
by
"Newsweek" in 196:1, this man
stood first as the leader in the
Black Revolution. A minister
from Atlanta, this man was a
firm believer in non-violence
o
matter
what
the
rovocation. It was said of him
by a close associate that "he
articulated the longings, the
opes, the aspirations of his
eople in a most earnest and
rofound manner."
His
ramatic rise to leadership in
he civil rights movement
gan in 1955 with a boycott of
ublic transportation in
ontgomery, Ala . Many
arches, boycotts and protests
ollowed until finally, in 1964,
e was awarded the Nobel
eace Prize. He continued to
igure prominantly in the
ontinuing struggle for racial
quality
until he was
ssassinated in April, 1968.
-t. This woman escaped from
la very to Philadelphia in 1849.
here s he became an out poken advocate of the
bolition of slavery and
eturned to the South many
imes risking her own life to
Ma'MJ McLeod Bethune
Harriet Tubman
escort other blacks to freedom
the
"Underground
on
Railroad" . Moving by night
and hiding by day, she carried
a revolver or a rifle which she
used against anyone who tr~ed
to intercept her - or against
any slave who lost his nerve .
Her work was so effective that
she soon carried a $40,000 price
on her head. During the Civil
War, she served as a Union
nurse and spy.
5 . In July, 1893, hospitals
were not the clean, antiseptic
facilities we take them for now .
Yet it was in such a place,
Provident Hospital , in 100
degree heat , that this man
performed the very first
operation that involved the
repair of a human heart. He
later moved from Provident
Hospital, which he helped to
found, to the Freedmen's
Hospital in Washington, D.C.
He also was on the staffs of St.
Luke's and Mercy Hospital ,
and the Northwestern School of
Medicine.
fl. The son or a tenant farmer
and former slave, this man has
been called the "father of
Negro history". After working
as a coal miner in Virginia to
finance his education, he began
a long career of teaching and
writing. One of his books, "The
Negro in our History" ,
published in 1922, was the first
textbook of its kind and proved
valuable later as U.S. schools
began to develop black study
programs.
7. A strong critic of Booker T.
Washington, this man was a
prolific writer and was instrumental in the formation of
the NAACP. The involvement
of blacks in pressing the issues
of segregation in the courts
was initially discussed by a
group led by this man and
called the Niagara Movement.
In 1961, having decided that
blacks had no future in the
U.S., he went into . exile in
Africa , where he died in 1963.
8. This man first began his
public career as the editor of
the
antiwar
magazine,
"Messenger". He then became
active in the formation of the
National Association for the
Promotion of Labor Unionism .
The Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters and Maids, which
he organized in 1925, was the
first successful attempt at·
black unionism . Recognized as
a pioneer in agitating for
improved working conditions
for blacks, he became the first
president of the National Negro
Congress, and was instrumental in the establishment of the U.S. Government
Committee on Fair Em ployment Practices.
!I. Born in Maysville, S.C.,
she was the founder of a
college, the National Council of
Negro Women, was the Florida
state director of the American
Red Cross, Director of the
Negro Affairs Division of the
National Youth Administration
and a consultant to the founding conference of the United
Nations. She received the
NAACP 's Springarn Awa rd
and the Medal of Merit from
the Republic of Haiti.
w. This man began his public
career
in
his
na tive
Massachusetts as head of the
Boston Finance Commission
and was subsequently elected
Attorney General of that State.
Lat er he gained national
prominence when he became
the first black elected to a full
term to the U.S. Senate since
1874.
11. Raised in Pasa dena,
Calif.. he attended Pasadena
Martin Luther King Jr.
legislature. She was elected to
the U.S. Congress in 1969 and
ran for president in 1972.
14. He was born in Baltimore
in 1908. In 1935, he joined the
legal staff of the NAACP and in
1938 became the first directorcounsel of its Legal Defense
and Education Fund. In 1965,
he was appointed Solicitor
General by President Johnson
and was later appointed to the
Supreme Court.
Edward W. Brooke
Junior College and U.C.L.A.
Shortly before graduation, he
left school to join the National
Youth Administration. After a
period of service in the armed
forces during World War II, he
joined a professional baseball
club in the old Negro American
League. In 1945, he joined the
Brooklyn Dodgers organization
and played for that team 's
farm club in Montreal. He
became the first black to play
major league baseball when he
moved up to the Dodgers in
1947.
12. Born a slave in Maryland
in 1817, he escaped to the North
in 1838 where he became an
active abolitionist. An eloquent
orator and writer whose
autobiography became world
famous, this man was
variously employed as an
editor, a lawyer and a foreign
minister during his career.

The Department of Game ,
and Fish has released an additional 10 Iranian ibex in the
Florida Mountains, southeast
of Deming, bringing the
number of these exotic animals
in the Floridas to an estimated
40 to 50. The Department first
released 15 of these animals in
the rugged Florida Range in
Dec., 1970.
The latest release of the ibex
included six males and four
females . The animals were
trapped from one of the gameproof pastures on the Department's Red Rock Wildlife area
near Lordsburg. They were
then crated individually and
trucked to the west base of the
Floridas and, frl}m there,
carried by four-wheel drive
vehicles to an area near the top
of the mountain. Access to the
area was by a private road
used by a mining operation.
The road is not open to public
travel.
The 10 animals were
released simultaneously and it
is hoped that they will join with
the other ibex that are already
on the mountain. The release
site is in an area where the
other ibex have been seen.
Four of the 10 ibex released
last week were fitted with
collars which have radio
transmitters attached, making
it possible to trace the animals'
movements in a post-release
study. Bob Bavin, a Colorado
State University graduate
student working on his
master's degree, will live in the
area in a trailer house and
conduct a year's study on the
animals in their new habitat.

in any single game this season.
Aiding Johnson in the Bullets'
first victory were Andy Price
with 10, Rick Reidy with four
and Charles Everett and Bill
Naddef with two apiece.
The losing Knicks showed a

Before leaving Alaska Chief
Brimm discovered
that
Thumper formerly belonged to
some itinerant

workers who had migrated
south following the fishing

At White Sands Missile
Range Thumper found a
backyard shade tree and dug a
small hole to help fight the
blazing sun. ''She was a little
sluggish at first but got used to
the desert in about two weeks,"
Brimm says.
Thumper made her hunting
debut at the missile range
during the 1972 season and
proved she could flush and
recover quail and dove in the
desert as well as she did
Ptarmigan on the tundra of
Alaska.
Chief Brimm says the newest
addition to his family has only
one more lesson to learn. "She
must learn

have here," he says. "She's

During October, 102,000
veterans were taking on-thejob
and
apprenticeship
training, but trainees under the
Dependents' Education
Program were limited to inititutional training programs
lefore the October law.
For job-training veterans,
the starting allowance is $160
per month if they · have no
dependents. For those with one
dependent, the allowance was
raised from $120 to $179
monthly; with two dependents,
from $133 to $196. For each
additional dependent in excess
of two, veterans receive an
additional $8.
The new public law CPL-92540) also changed the rules on
correspondence training to
open this form of training to
eligible wives and children and
to provide greater protection
for trainees. The law also
permits greater flexibility in
classroom for veterans in fulltime
farm
cooperative
training. Some of the required
440 annual classroom hours
may be rescheduled provided
enrolees spend at least 80 hours
in classroom study in any three
month period, it was explained.
VA education benefits, including apprenticeship and
other on-job-training, are
available to those who served
at least 180 days, any part of it
after Jan. 31, 1955:
Also entitled to these benefits
are: wives, widows and
children of veterans whose
deaths or permanent, total
disabilities were service·
connected; and wives and
children of servicemen who are
prisoners of war or missing in
action for more than 90 days.
Veterans ask
<f - How long can I wait to
get my teeth fixed after I get
out of the Army?
A - You must apply within
one year after your discharge
to be eligible for the
presumption that your dental
conditions
are
serviceconnected. Even so, not all
dental conditions can be
presumed to be serviceconnected. For example, teeth
lost before you entered service
obviously are not.
Q - With no more space in
the National cemeteries, I have
been wondering whether I
might be buried in a VA
cemetery. Can the money VA
pays for burial expenses be
used this way?
A - VA does not have a
cemetery system of its own. It
has a few small plots near VA
hospitals and domiciliaries
where veterans who have died
in these facilities have been
buried, but most of this space is
now full. Chances are you could
not be buried anywhere near
your home if you chose one of
the few available plots. The VA
burial expense payment can be
made regardless of the burial
place.
