VOLUME 33-NUMBER 27
120-ton explosives
to be used in WSMR test
by Ed White
A series of high explosive tests have been
scheduled for later this year in the northern
portion of WSMR.
The tests will be conducted by the Field
Command Defense Nuclear Agency, located
in Albuquerque. The tests will include
detonations of explosive charges ranging in
size from 100 pound to 120-ton charges.
Ammonium nitrate/fuel oil and munitions,
including missile warheads, will be used
in the tests.
Named the "Distant Runner" Aircraft
Shelter Test Program, the tests will provide
data on the effects of explosions on two
full-size third-generation aircraft shelters.
Sixteen government agencies and government-sponsored companies will be involved
in the tests. The U.S. Army, Navy and Air
Force also will participate in the tests.
"The Department of Defense has continual need for raw data concerning blast
and shock effects on newly developed and
prototype military equipment, weapon
systems and buildings, including heli. copter and military plane hangars, radar
domes and other structures," a Defense
Nuclear Agency official said. The Distant
Runner test series will add to that data.
The Distant Runner tests will take place
at Queen 15 Site in the northern portion of
WSMR. The test site is approximately 25
miles from Three Rivers, N.M., and about
30 miles from Tularosa.
An environmental assessment of the
Distant Runner Aircraft Shelter Test Program has been submitted to the Department
of Defense and to WSMR officials. Assessment authors report no significant lasting
environmental effects from the tests.
The two full-size hardened (cement)
aircraft shelters will be exposed to both
internal and external blast pressure. Two
aircraft pavement segments (aircraft
taxiways) will be included to assess ground
shock and debris damage effects on the
pavement. The aircraft shelters and pavement will be instrumented and high-speed
technical photographic coverage and other
technical support will be provided to testers
byWSMR.
The test will consist of a series of five
blasts. Test No. 1 will be an internal loading
test employing 100 pounds of a net explosive weight charge. Tests Nos. 2 and 3
will be external detonations to produce
pressure on the sides and ends of the
shelters. The pressure will be produced
by the explosion of 120 tons of a mixture
of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil.
Tests Nos. 4 and 5 will be internal blasts
using general purpose bombs for explosives. A "calibration" blast will be detonated (1,200 pounds) Aug. 19 to test
system instrumentation. The final test in
the series is scheduled for Nov. 18.
The Distant Runner project officer for
the Defense Nuclear Agency, Washington,
D.C., is Lt. Col. Robert A. Flory, USA. Maj.
Raymond A. Thomas, USMC, of Field
Command, Defense Nuclear Agency, Kirtland Air Force Base, N .M., is the Test
Group Director.
WSMR's National Range Directorate,
under Col. Robert L. Shaffer, is the range
sponsor for the tests. John Coleman is the
National Range project engineer.
P.O.W.-M.l.A. tribute today
By presidential proclamation, today is
National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day1981. President Reagan's proclamation recalls the "uncommon sacrifices" made by
America's prisoners of war and the "pain
and bitterness of war" endured by the families of those still missing in action.
In observance of the day, there will be a
ceremony honoring P.O.W.'s and M.I.A.'s
today at noon in the flag circle in front of
post headquarters, Bldg. 100. The ceremony will feature a cannon salute and an
appearance by several WSMR personnel
who are former prisoners of war.
Range commander M~j. Gen. Alan A.
Nord invites all range personnel to attend
the ceremony.

DA ok' s early Xmas ETS
DA Circular 3612-81-1, dated July 15, announced the FY 1982 Christmas-New Year
holiday period and authorizes a liberal holiday leave policy for active duty personnel.
The message authorizes an Army-wide
early separation program to be conducted in
conjunction with the holiday period. Unless
they desire to be retained on active duty until their normal release date, all obligated
volunteer officers and all enlisted personnel
whose EI'S is between Dec. 14, 1981 and Jan
9, 1982 will be separated for the convenience
of the government during Dec. 10-18, or as
soon as practical thereafter.
In order to provide an orderly and equitable separation, the following schedule will
be followed as closely as possible:
Those with an EI'S date of Dec. 14-18 will
be separated Dec. 10; the Dec. 19-22 EI'S
will have a Dec. 11 target; the Dec. 23-26
ETS will have a Dec. 14 target; the Dec. 2728 EI'S will have a Dec. 15 target; Dec. 29,
1981-Jan. 2, 1982 will aim for Dec. 16, 1981;
, the Jan. 3-6, 1982 ETS will target for Dec.
17, 1981; and Jan. 7-9 EI'S dates will be targeted for a Dec. 18, 1981, discharge.
Officers eligible for release under this
policy may be retained on active duty b~
their command until their normal release
date when operational needs dictate.
Not eligible for early release are reserve
component personnel (officer and enlisted)
undergoing active duty training under
special training programs; officers who have
approved REFRAD or resignation dates; officers being involuntarily relieved from
active duty on a specific date as directed by
DA other than early release; personnel
scheduled for retirement; those to whom the
provisions of AR 600-13 apply; and those
whose normal EI'S or release date does not
fall within the Dec. 14, 1981 - Jan. 9, 1982
time frame.

Independence Day celebration
Thanks to all those elements of the command, those community service organizations,
and those dunking booth volunteers who contributed talent and much effort to our Fourth
of July celebration! 1 believe those attending had a fine time. The induction of Mr. E.
Joseph Franczak into the WSMR Hall of Fame honored both the range and Mr. Franczak.
The fireworks display was a grand spectacle! Special thanks and a "very well done"
to Col. Rose, who was tasked with overall responsibility, and to 1st Lt. Mooney, his
project officer.
Energy conservation appeal
We have been assessed a goal of 3% reduction in energy consumption for FY 81.
The course we are on does not appear promising. The TECOM commander strongly
stressed the need to make the goal. WSMR has done well in the past. 1 need everyone's
help with more suggestions; consult your supervisor, DIAL-BOSS, or submit formal
suggestions. The housing area accounts for 10% of consumption: Don't water lawns
every day-two times a week is adequate; water deep-two hours or measure one inch
or so with a shallow can. Tum off air conditioners at night. Industrial area needs to find
some real conservation-cut unneeded day and night lighting; find ways to cut large
power consumers.
Buses
The change in bus hours during last May was an attempt to respond to perceived needs
of. employees and some elements of management; the change was approved by the
cht~f of staff. We heard the resulting DIAL-BOSS calls, re-examined alternatives, and
revised to the current plan with some modifications to shuttle service on WSMR. The
thoughtful letter to the Missile Ranger some weeks ago caused me to direct a review
of the air conditioning and sun shade issues. 1 will be reporting soon on those aspects.
1. do beheve we should all recognize that transportation managers-and their supervisors, mcludmg me-are motivated to keep the cost to passengers at the minimum
level_ and fully ~oad the 53 passenger buses. The transportation manager's remarks
~eekmg cooperation were so motivated, seeking consideration for others as well as self
m filling buses.
HELSTF construction and firing schedules
The steps we h~ve taken to minimize evacuation of the construction crews at HELSTF
appear to be wo~kmg! Both that construction and our test programs are very important.
I appr~c1~te the ms1ght and suggestions on the part of many members of the command
to mm1mtze both the cost to taxpayers and schedule delays.

Yes, you can help remove
monkey on drinker's back
by Jane Davis
Who are they? They are the men and women you'll see taking a drink at your next
party or in your local bar ... one of nearly 10
million alcoholics among our nations' drinkers. The average alcoholic is a person somewhere in his middle 30's with a good job, a
good home and a family. Contrary to popular belief, less than five percent of alcoholics are found on skid row. Chances are two
to one they began drinking in high school
and chances are even that one or both parents suffered from alcoholism.
What are they the victim of? The alcoholic suffers from one of mankind's most insidious diseases-alcoholism. A complex progressive disorder, it creeps up on its victims
and steadily grows year by ye~r. If not treated, it ends, with few exceptions, in permanent mental damage, physical incapacity or
early death. It is a most predictable disease.
Unlike the majority of Americans who drink
the chronic alcoholic has a physical and
psychological dependence (addiction) on the
drug-alcohol. He can't stop drinking once
he's started, even though alcohol is slowly
destroying his life.
How do they suffer? Alcoholism destroys
their health. Physically, they become more
susceptible to infections, anemia, diseases
of the liver, heart, brain and other organs,
and to cancer. They may need permanent
institutionalization because of brain damage: 40 percent of all males admitted to state
mental hospitals suffer from alcoholism. Alcoholism disrupts the home. Between 30
and 40 percent of delinquent youths come
from alcoholic homes. Alcoholism accounts
directly or indirectly, for 40 percent of th~
problems brought to family court. The al-
coholic's failure as a parent makes it hard
often impossible, for their children to devel'.
op the trust and confidence in themselves
and others which they need for successful
living.
When do they know what happened?
They usually don't. Most commonly, they
progress into alcoholism after five to 10
years of social drinking with no immediate
dramatic change to dispel their illusion that
they drink like everyone else. Or, they deny
to themselves and others that their drinking
habits are different from others. Yet, once
they lose control, the illness usually cannot
be arrested without professional assistance.
Why should you help them? It is almost
impossible to fight alcoholsim alone. Yet too
frequently the alcoholic is left alone to fight
his battle. If a man, he may be condemned
as a moral weakling; and, if a woman,
shamed or overprotected." Silent treatment" and "covering up" are the worst
ways to react to an alcoholic. The alcoholic
needs professional assistance to recognize
the symptoms of the disease and to see the
connection between drinking and living
problems.
How can you help? To help an alcoholica family member, friend, employee or military person-you need the assistance and
guidance of someone who understands the
illness and local resources available for
treatment. Such professional assistance is
available through the Alcohol and Drug
Abuse Prevention and Control Program
(ADAPCP) located in McAfee Health Clinic,
Room 914. Please contact the ADCO (Lt.
Faulkner) at 678-1976, or Ms. Davis. the
coordinator for the Employee Assistance
Program , at 678-1970.

Hogwash
Why don't kids laugh?
by Ed White
It is just a thought, and probably not
a very good one, but I think my generation
used up more than its share of laughs back
before World War II. Although a lot of work
was mixed in with the fun part, I honestly
think we smiled and laughed from the day
school was out in June until the bell pealed
"recall" after Labor Day.
I watch and listen to youngsters in my
neighborhood, and I don't see too many
smiles. They don't holler, play ball in the
yards or streets, play anteover, or jump
rope while reciting some inane verse.
Nope, today's kids are "organized."
They suit up for soccer, baseball, T-ball
or basketball two or three times each week
for practice. On Saturday mornings they
suit up early and their parents take them
to "league" games. They aren't smiling
when they leave our street and they aren't
smiling when they return.
Little girls are hustled off to dance, swim
or cheerleader classes. They wear the same
facial expressions as the boys who just left
- in their baseball uniforms.
Maybe that's the key. Do we "organize"
our kids' play too much today? Why can't
they play ball in the vacant Jot down the
street? Why can't they go to the pool and
swim until dead tired, then take a nap before
heading home for dinner?
Summer days spent skipping rocks on
a calm river, hunting a good "pitch" tree
for chewing gum, playing in road tar on hot
summer days, watching hummingbirds
feed on honeysuckle and trying to figure
how the ungainly pelican could dive so
neatly took up other summer afternoons.
It was all unorganized and all fun.

Yep, as youngsters we must have used
up more than our share of laughs and
giggles. Wish we could have saved a few
grins for the youngsters of today. And a
couple laughs for ourselves would be nice.

On-post haircuts cost less
"Haircuts are one of the
best values we offer,"
says Leslie Cohoon, chief
of the WSMR personal
services branch.
According to Cohoon,
haircut prices in Army and
Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) barber shops
are set 40 percent lower
than at civilian barber
shops. The prices at the
post shop are determined
after a survey of other
shops in the area is made.
''The quality of AAFES
barber shops stems from

Slide-a-Ride
opens in Cruces
,,
A water recreation park, boasting the most sophisticated water slide in the area and a fleet of bumper
boats, is having its grand opening this weekend in
Las Cruces.
"Slide-a-Ride Recreational Park " is located on
West Picacho (Highway 70-80 West) , cross from
KOA. From Interstate 10, it can be reached by taking
exit 135.
The park has been open since mid-June, but this
weekend will be the first time the bumper boats have
been in service.
Syd Gould, co-owner of the park, said he and his
partner, Earl Nissen, toured the country to get ideas
on the best and safest water slide available. Each
of the two flumes is 316 feet in length, each has three
360-degree turns and a tunnel. There also is a nine-foot
drop in each. There is a 20-degree start at the tower,
the starting point for the thrilling 14-second ride to
splash down. There are two pools for splash downs,
each with a 30-inch water level.
Two certified lifeguards are stationed at the top of
the tower during operating hours and two more trained
personnel are located at the pool area.
Installation of the pool for the bumper boats was
being completed this week in time for the weekend
opening. Bumper boats are equipped with two-horsepower Suzuki engines.
Rates for the slide are S2.50 for 40 minutes-<>r S7.50
for an all-day ticket. Bumper boat rates are Sl.50 for
five minutes. Group rates for bonafide groups are
available, Gould said.
The recreation park contains a snack bar, game
room, locker rooms, rest rooms and an eating area
with shaded tables. Within a year, Gould said there
will be a swimming pool.
Gould and Nissen are both former New York school
p~cipals. "We both know and like young people,"
said Gould, "although our park was built with the idea
of providing entertainment for parents and grandparents, as well as the kids."
Unlike other similar parks in the area, Slide-a-Ride
does not sell beer or other alcoholic beverages. "We
~on·~.even allow alcohol to be consumed on our premises, Gould said.
"Our goal," Gould said, "is to provide good, clean,
safe fun for people of all ages in a wholesome environment where all will feel safe and relaxed.'·
Slide-a-Ride is open seven days a week-from noon
to l_O p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from noon
until midnight Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

TECOM CG sends regards
as WSMR turns 37
(The following letter was recently sent
to the WSMR commander from TECOM
commander Maj. Gen. John J. Koehler,
Jr. -Editor)
The personnel of Headquarters, US
Army Test and Evaluation Command,
offer their congratulations on the 36th
anniversary of US Army White Sands
Missile Range on 9 July 1981.
US Army White Sands Missile Range
begins its 37th year with an enviable history of efficiency and high-quality performance. Its highly competent and professional work force, mated with its unique
facility and instrumentation capabilities,
dangered San Andreas bighorn sheep
stricken with scabies mites in Nov. 1979.
Assistance given the U.S. Forest Service
in October 1980 in removing five concrete
building foundations from the Sacramento Mountains near Alamogordo was
also acknowledged. The award ceremony
took place at APG during the annual
TECOM Commander's Conference last
week.

THE DEVIL'S DP DICTIONARY
by
(McGraw-Hill, 141 pages, $7.50)
Reviewed by Tom Starkweather
Back in the Spring of 1881 Ambrose
Bierce began a series of definitions in his
column under the title of "The Devil's
Dictionary." These were assembled and
published in 1906 as "The Cynic's Word
Book." "The Devil's Dictionary" is recognized today as a classic in satire.
Now ex-IBM-er, ex-UNIVACer, free
lance computer consultant, song writer
and singer Stan Kelly-Bootle has drawn
on nearly 30 years of association with the
computer industry to fill the void existing
in useful data processing (DP) glossaries.
I would think that the more intimate a
relationship, as well as length of exposure,
a reader has had with computers the more
appreciative he will be of this effort. Since
WSMR has one of the highest concentrations of computer power in the free world,
there will be many grateful recipients of
the thoughts contained therein.
To whet the appetite, some excerpts
follow-a difficult chore because of the
limited space versus the mass of material.
So some definitions are condensed to allow
a greater range in presentation:

(The following letter was written in response
to an article which appeared in the Missile
Ranger May 22-Editor)
Dear Editor:
The Animal Protection Institute was very
disturbed to learn that the wild horse herd
had been reduced from 750 to 510. We feel
that this reduction was much too extreme
and that it will greatly counteract the
adaptive process of the horse population of
White Sands Missile Range. By arbitrarily
reducing the herd by over two-thirds,
you have undoubtedly frustrated the horses'
own attempts through generations of natural
selection of coming to terms with its own
environment.
Hopefully, the horses that remain will
recover from this shock and readapt. We
do hope that in the future you will recognize
the full niche of the wild horse on WSMR.
We expect that WSMR will afford those
remaining nomads the full protection and
respect to which they are morally entitled.
Craig C. Downer
Research Services
Animal Protection Institute of America
Sacramento, Cal.
Editor's note-Missile range officials
have previously noted they are concerned
·with the protection and well-being of all
wildlife found within the boundaries of the
national range.
A survey of the wild horse herd earlier
this year revealed that since the last roundup in 1970 the herd was dangerously exceeding the limited water supply and
grassland available for grazing.
Army officials also noted that since the
last roundup, missile testing activities have
increased, along with the size of the horse
herds. The combination of herd growth
along with expanded testing activity increased the probability of horses being
injured or killed in the impact areas.
It was also noted that the New Mexico
Livestock Board conducted the horse
roundup, although the range commander
and his deputy were on hand to insure
every precaution was taken to effect a safe
and humane capture. The wild horses at
WSMR actually "belong" to the State of
New Mexico, and are administered under
a cooperative agreement with the New
Mexico Game and Fish Department.

Complaint: I only have one question.
Why is TRASANA authorized to take the PT
(physical training) test in shorts and tennis
shoes? Troop Command is required to take
it in combat boots and fatigues. Thank you.
Response: AR 600-9 and FM 21-20
specify that the uniform for the Army Physical Readiness Test will be fatigue trousers,
t-shirt or fatigue shirt, and combat boots.
Soldiers Magazine, May 1981, in an article titled "PT-The New Standard,"
specifies that "~e regulations do not require combat boots or fatigues be worn
when taking the test."
A telephone conversation, May 6, with the
DA staff officer responisible confirms that it
is the intent of DA to allow local commanders (installation commanders) to determine
the PT uniform.
WSMR-TECOM soldiers were about half
tested as of May 6. In fairness to all taking
the test this cycle, until July 1 WSMRTECOM soldiers continued to wear fatigue
trousers and combat boots.

steering problems. Too much air can be
dangerous, too. Check the car's operating

among the vital engine parts.
•Tune-up the engine regularly. A
properly tuned and maintained engine gets
better mileage and performance. It also
helps reduce air pollution.

WSMR softball action
In WSMR men's intramural softball
action since last Wednesday, ASL-A won
two more to increase its first-place cushion
from 2 to 31h games. HHC-TC joined
TRASANA in second place as the pursuit of
ASL-A entered its final weeks .
The MP's remained in fourth, although
their winning streak has lengthened to eight
games. The Medics won two in a row since
last Wednesday to vault past both A Co. and
C Co. into fifth. ASL-Band the officers both
had winning weeks but remained stalled at
the bottom of the intramural league. In fact,
ASL-A's winning ways have pushed both its
junior squad and the O's one-half game
farther down.
The regular season ends July 27. A
double-elimination tournament that begins
August 10 will decide the league championship. All league teams will be invited to play
in the tourney.
There is no truth to the rumor that Edward Bennett Williams has offered Capt.
Steve Roop $14 million for the ASL-A team.
Here's how they've done since last Wednesday: ASL-A 2-0,HHC-TC 1-0, TRASANA
0-1, MP's 1-0, Medics 2-0, C Co. 1-0, A Co.
1-1, ASL-B 1-0, Officers 1-0.

men's intramural softball league standings

$500 purse to be offered
at moto-x race this Sunday
from FE didn't fair too well, but Tony Boor
(his dad's in ARMTE) got a second! The fat
man vows he will try harder next time. He
said he has lost so much weight (861.-'4 lbs)
that his leather racing suit is so baggy and
gets in his way. What an excuse! You've
got to go faster, fat man.
Hey runners, I've got you covered too.
This Saturday at 8 am at Preciado Park on
the NMSU campus, the Mesilla Valley Track
Club will host a "Bastille Day" fun run. Entry fee is only St.SO for adults, and kids 16
and under SO cents. There will be a one mile
course and a 5.6 mile course. Rumor has it
the prizes will be small cakes instead of
trophies or ribbons. When the fat man
heard about this he said that the race should
be a "piece of cake" for him. Anyway, for
more information call Paul Seibert at
524-4755.

There's a solution for sloshing ears
by Marianne Pryor
A mirror but frequent problem for many
swimmers is a condition known as swimmer's ear. It's an infection caused by moisture retained in the ear canal.
Moisture in the ear canal tends to wash
away the canal's natural protective wax
coating, providing a breeding ground for
bacteria and infection.
The condition often doesn 't show up for
two or three days. A non-swimmer may
also suffer from the condition if water gets
in the ear from the bathtub or shower.
The symptoms of swimmer's ear are
itching and pain caused by swelling, tenderness when the earlobe is tugged, and in
some cases, a slight loss of hearing. This
is caused by accumulation of debris in the
canal.
Swimmer's ear can be prevented or
YAMAHA
minimized by drying the ear canals. Shaking
the head vigorously or jumping with the
head tilted to one side is effective in removing trapped water. Fanning the ear
canal opening has a drying effect. A hair
dryer is also effective.
Do not use a cotton-tipped swab to dry
the ear canal. It may remove the ear wax
or scratch the canal lining.

A battle 200 years ago provides lessons for today
At the same time, we should not overlook
the parallels in problems facing that original
Army and the Army of today. It would be
folly to focus only on the victory and rely
on the heroics of individuals in future
conflicts. Indeed, Washington alluded to
"Divine Providence" as a critical factor
at Yorktown. Surely Ointon's failure to
reinforce, a successful deception allowing
the massing of troops, and the fortunate
availability of a French fleet created a
situation for American victory. Planning,
intelligence, and seizing opportunity
through personal leadership are as important today. Even though the United
States is a superpower, much of our commitment to freedom would be ineffectual
without host-country support and reciprocal defense treaties. Just as French
monetary and military support was crucial
to victory at Yorktown, the United States
and its allies must forge strong bonds
against potential adversaries. Within the
military itself, the necessity for cooperation
in combined and joint operations remains
key to winning on the modern battlefield.
The problems of raising and training
an effective Army then are not unlike
today's hurdles. Washington spent countless hours appealing to the Congress for
more soldiers, more equipment, more
supplies, and more money to support the
Army. Not everyone flocked to the call of
the bugle, and those who did expected a
war of short duration and adequate recompense for service. The ideals of the cause
did not prevent threats of mutiny and
desertion because of wartime conditions
and low or no pay. Generous bonuses did
not encou~ge the needed number of volun-
by Lt. Col. Bill Highlander
Preparations are underway for the last
major celebration in the nation's Bicentennial-the victory at Yorktown. In that
small village on the York River in Virginia
on October 19, 1781, Cornwallis' surrender
to George Washington broke the spine of
Britain's effort to maintain control over
the American colonies. Sporadic fighting
continued for nearly two years before a
treaty was signed, but Yorktown was the
decisive battle which has represented
for Americans ever since, the spirit of victory through perseverance, dedication, and
ingenuity.
The U.S. Army has chosen for its theme
this year " The Army at Yorktown: Spirit
of Victory " It is well that we reaffirm our
commitment to the principles for which
the soldiers and citizenry fought so gallantly
and which the Army is still bound to protect
and prese rve. History recounts the sacrifices of soldiers, often ill-equipped, illtrained and ill-paid, who withstood bitter
winters, 11 g marches, and countless hardships before winning. The stories of leadership and heroics of individual soldiers
continue tc. inspire through examples of
Americans putting fortitude above comfort
and honor . bove ambition.
The celebration at Yorktown should not
be thought of as an event important only
to Virginians or the original states, for
Yorktown is a symbol to the entire United
States and to the world wherever ideals of
freedom are maintained or sought. The
examples of sacrifice and dedication will
remind soldiers of the sense of responsibility and obligation that they bear even
now.
MITCHELL MOTORS
White Sands Specials
teers, and the need for a draft to fill the
ranks for the duration of the conflict became
obvious. A system for integrating the
militia into the Regular Army was sorely
needed. Baron Von Steuben earned his
historic laurels by bringing discipline to
the Army and insisting on standardization
in training.
The modern Army faces similar struggles
in manning a force capable of meeting
defense commitments, modernizing and
equipping the units to a competitive edge,
and training to rigorous, challenging
standards. Dedication, patriotism, and pride
are still prized by soldiers, and examples
of professionalism can be readily found
in units wherever soldiers live and work.
But even those ideals can be frustrated
when soldiers feel their service is unappreciated by military and civilian leaders and
that this is evidenced by low pay, inadequate quality of life, and fewer opportunities for realistic, demanding training.
The ideals of freedom, fought for and won
through sacrifice and dedication in our first
war •. must. be p~otected. Vigilance through
readmess ts the imperative. A strong Army,
~bly led, well-trained, well-equipped, and
mbued with the spirit of Yorktown, is
needed more today than ever before. We
cannot count on "Divine Providence" in
future conflicts. We will not have the time
to mobilize the Army and the nation as was
done in World War II. We should not send
inadequately prepared soldiers into battle
as was done in Korea.
We will learn much by reflecting on the
victory at Yorktown-by drawing on the
examples that inspire leaders and soldiers
to overcome adversity, and by examining
the problems that could recur to threaten
the strength of the Army now.

Artist named EI Leon''
for aiding deaf in El Paso
by Monte Creek
Robert "Rocco" Viera, a technical
illustrator with WSMR's Audio-Visual
Branch, is tri-lingual. He speaks English,
Spanish and sign language for the deaf.
Recently Viera was named Outstanding
Lion of the Year by the Lions Clubs of El
Paso for his work with the deaf.
Viera was nominated by the Del Norte
Lions Club for the "El Leon" award. He
was chosen from a group of nominees from
Lions Clubs throughout the city for his
efforts toward improving community life
in El Paso.
He is president of Hearing and Speech,
Inc., a group of civic-minded individuals
that collects new, used and damaged
hearing aids and has them reconditioned.
These hearing aids are then distributed to
those who need but cannot afford them
through the Council on Aging in El Paso.
This past May he was also named to the
board of the El Paso Center for the Deaf.
"I became interested in sign language
when Betty started working with me about
10 years ago," said Viera. Betty Kearney,
also a technical illustrator, has been deaf
since birth. "It was difficult to communicate with her. I wanted to be able to teach
her and exchange ideas," Viera said.
Viera took classes in sign language at
New Mexico State University. With the aid
of Kearney and Beth Carrillo, a photographic technician with the Audio-Visual
Branch who is deaf, he soon learned to
talk with his hands.
Viera, who learned English as a second
language, feels he can sympathize with
the deaf about the obstacles they encounter.
''I put it on the same level as learning a new
language. Many times you can only pick
up bits and pieces of what's going on,"
he said.
At WSMR Viera is trying to increase
range employee awareness of the deaf.
He is on the Advisory Committee for Employment of the Handicapped and has
organized tours of the audio-visual building
for the handicapped so they may see what
Kearney and Castillo ·have accomplished.
Gesturing with his hands, Viera said,
"We have some capable and talented deaf
employees at the range and I'd like to see
them receive the opportunities they deserve."
Some canned Old El Paso beans
could be spoiled, recall underway
Military commissaries have been asked
WSMR commissary personnel ask that
to recall cans of Old El Paso Refried Beans post residents check can numbers before
numbered 056Al,R02. The beans may have
been contaminated by faulty sealing during returning Old EI Paso beans to the store.
Refunds will be made on cans in question.

4.8% civil service pay raise likely
The "Federal Times" reports this week
the fall pay raise for federal employees will
be 4.8 percent. The paper also reports
Congress has approved the elimination of
the September cost-of-living adjustment
for retirees.
It has been estimated by some officials
the September pay raise would have to be
about 13 percent to increase salaries so
they are comparable to those in private
industry. The Reagan administration estimates the cut in pay raises and the elimination of one cost-of-living increase will
save $4 billion.
