· Post's 16 bugle calls combine tradition, utility
-
cording of the calls is broadcast over a
speaker system in Building 100.
...
On or about Dec. 10, this speaker
system will be expanded so the calls can
be heard more clearly in the housing
area and the barracks. Speakers are
being installed on top of Building 128
(the 259th Military Police Company) and
at the Officers Club.
The recordings heard over the system
originate from Building 1644. A master
computerized clock with an automated
tape player automatically plays the
appropriate call at the proper time. The
staff duty officer in Building 100 can turn
all or some of the calls off during the
weekend, if necessary.
The new speakers are being installed
by the Electronic Maintenance Branch
of the Logistics Directorate.

The first bugle call heard each day at
WSMR is at 5:50 a.m. Called First Call,
it is sounded before Reveille as a warning
to soldiers that they should prepare to
assemble for formation. Assembly is
called at 5:55 a.m.

I,
Not every installation has a real live bugler, but bugle calls are part of life at
every Army post.
by Monte Creek
'-'
The Army has many proud traditions.
One of these is the daily series of bugle
calls.
Originally a hunting horn, the bugle
began to be used by European military
regiments as a signal instrument during
the 18th century. The tradition was then
carried to America.
Each day 16 different bugle calls are
heard on the WSMR main post. A re-
Reveille is sounded at 6 a.m. Reveille
is a ceremony which honors the American
flag as it is raised in the morning. It is
also the signal for morning roll call.
Should civilians be present at the sounding of Reveille, they should stop to pay
respect to the flag as it is raised.
At 6:30 a.m., Mess Call is sounded.
This signal announces meal time.
Police call is heard at 7:15 a.m. Soldiers are to clean the post area at this
time.
Duty call or Turn To is sounded at
7:45 a.m. This is the official beginning of
the work day.
WSMR honors nine at Nov. parade
Nine WSMR soldiers were honored
Nov. 23 during the post's monthly
awards and retirement review.
Heading the list of honorees was Lt.
Col. James Corr (USAF), who receiv.ed
the Meritorious Service medal (first oak
leaf cluster). Corr received the award
for service as a representative to the
Federal Aviation Administration for July
1977 to August 1982.
Sgt. Maj. J.C. Jones was awarded the
Meritorious Service Medal for service as
the senior noncommissioned officer to the
range's Logistics Directorate (LG).
Five soldiers received the Army
Commendation Medal during the ceremony held at the JFK Parade Field. SSgt.
Ralph Sanders, Jr., was awarded his
medal for service in the Transportation
Management Branch of LG. SSgt.
Howard Morrell received the medal for
duties performed as supply sergeant for
Headquarters and Headquarters Company. SSgt. Bernardine White received
the award for service with the range's
259th Military Police Company. SSgt.
James Smith was awarded the medal for
his duties performed as the reenlistment
operations noncommissioned officer of
the Adjutant General Division. Sp4 Paul

ed officer-in-charge, Military Personnel
Records Branch, at the range's Directo· rate of Personnel and Community Activities.
A Certificate of Achievement was presented to Sp4 Mark Bloom, the range's
Soldier of the Month for November.
The honor company streamer was
presented to the 259th Military Police
Company for being the best marching
unit in the October Parade. The company
is commanded by Capt. Freda Brame.
Tuesday's medals were presented by
Col. John Donohue, director of the Army
Material Test and Evaluation Directorate.
Music was provided by the 62nd Army
Band from Fort Bliss.
Recall is sounded at 11 :29 a.m. for
preparation for lunch. This is followed
by Mess Call at 11:30 a.m. Duty Call is
sounded again at 12:30 p.m .
At 4:15 p.m. Recall is heard again.
This signals the end of the workday for
the WSMR civilian workforce and preparation for dinner for the military.
Evening Mess Call is sounded at 4:30
p.m.
. The Retreat ceremony begins at 4:59.
30 p.m. Retreat is the ceremony during
which the flag is lowered for the night.
On the last note of Retreat, the 105
mm artillery piece in front of Building
100 is fired. At 5 p.m. To the Colors, an
alternative to the National Anthem, is
played as the flag is lowered. The flag is
lowered slowly, as if reluctantly, whereas
during Reveille, it is raised smartly, as
if eagerly. After the flag is lowered, it is
folded into a triangular shape. This is
commemorative of the Revoluntionary
War soldier's cocked hat.
During Retreat, military personnel
and civilians should stop and pay proper
courtesy to the flag.
The signal for lights out, Tattoo, is
played at 10 p.m. Traditionally, this
means that all talking and loud noises
should stop within 15 minutes.
Call to Quarters is sounded at 10:15
p.m. This is a signal that all personnel
not authorized to be absent should be in
their quarters for the night.
The last call, of the day, Taps, is heard
at 10:30 p.m. This familiar call means
that all unauthorized lights should be
shut off. It si&nals the official end of the
military day.

The Diary of Susan Shelby Magoffin,
1846-1847
edited by Stella M. Drumm
foreword by Howard R. Lamar
University of Nebraska Press, 294 pages
reviewed by Tom Starkweather
I suppose it was 15 tQ 20 years ago
when Charlie Brink called my attention
to this book. I borrowed his and was so
taken by the contents that I didn't rest
until I found a copy for my personal
library. Now the University of Nebraska
Press has reprinted this jewel.
In June 1846, Susan Shelby Magoffin
left Independence, Mo. on a remarkable
journey. Her husband was Samuel
Magoffin, a Santa Fe trader. With him
and his party she crossed the plains and
mountains to the New Mexico capitol
and then the Rio Grande to the El Paso
del Norte and finally Chihuahua City. It
was the year of American expansion that
would result in the Mexican War and
eventually double the size of the United
States.
Susan was only 18 and had been
married less than eight months, so in a
sense the trip was an extended honeymoon. Ever since their marriage she had
kept a journal of her travels and experiences. She was a keen observer
and capable author. She was also very
true-I ife adve tu res· n t
much in love with "mi Alma," her tall
big-boned frontier merchant and husband.
When Susan returned to Kentucky
15 months later she had quite a story to
tell. To refresh her memory there was her
notebook, which she had captioned ''Travels in Mexico Commencing June, J846.
El Diario de Dona Susanita Mogoffin."
She contracted yellow fever in Matamoras, lost a sone in 1847 and probably her
health as well, for she died in 1855 at the
age of27.
The legacy she left in her diary has
become a classic in Southerwestern history and is must reading for those interested in the early days of this area.
WILLIAM BECKNELL
Father of the Santa Fe Trade
by Larry M. Beachum
Texas Western Press, 89 pages
reviewed by Tom Starkweather
Becknell was born in what is now Nelson County, Va. in 1787 or 1788. In 1807
he married Jane Trusler and by 1810
he was in the St. Louis area. This monograph, number 68 in Southwestern
Studies, follows his career as a mounted
ranger in the Missouri militia in units
led by members of the family of Daniel

ventures as an Indian trader and later
financial troubles, and how he
was saved from debtors prison by the
generosity of a friend.
Rather than being frightened or discouraged by such events, Becknell was
planning his first expedition west--a journey that would lead him to be known
forever more as the Founder of Santa
Fe Trade and Father of the Santa Fe
Trail.
His party arrived in Santa Fe in November 1821. This trip was fraught with
danger. It was an act of a desperate man.
But it succeeded. Becknell went on to be
a justice of the peace and a member of the
Missouri Legislature before moving
t
to Texas in 1835. He died in Red River
County, Texas, in 1956. His grave is
about five miles west of Clarksville, in a
pasture .
Becknell was another of those individuals who helped settle the continent
and create the United States of America
we know today. In many respects, he,
like the others, had qualities that appear
to be bigger than life. On the other hand,
he had ordinary human frailties and
experienced disappointments that were
only too apparent at times.
This book is valuable addition to the
shelves and knowledge of those interested in the history of the Southwest.

Beware of mystery clauses
''Each of us hereby both individually
and severally waives any or all benefit or
relieffrom homestead exemption and all
other exemptions or moratoriums to
which the signers or any of them may be
entitled under the laws of this or any
other state, now in force or hereafter to
be passed, as against this debt or any renewal thereof ''
Confusing? Of course it is, out it's a
clause that could be in a standard loan
contract that you have signed. It means
the lender could take personal belongings
that state law would normally allow you
to keep if you don't keep up your payments.
There are many clauses like this in
standard credit contracts. If you're like
most people you probably just read the
parts that are typed in, because those are
the parts that seem to relate to you. But
you 're agreeing to the small print as well,
even though it may be written in what .
sounds like a foreign language.
One commonly used clause says that
if you don't pay and the creditors sue you,
you agree in advance that they win,
even though you may have a good reason
for not paying. Another says that if you
don't pay, they can deduct the money _.,.
from your salary, and you won't argue. In
fact, you might even agree to pay the
creditor's lawyer's fee and court costs.
The Federal Trade Commission
advises borrowers to read and understand all parts of a credit contract before ·>. signing.
If you have trouble making sense out
of such clauses as the one at the beginning of this article, get an interpreter. Ask
someone who understands Iegalesecheck with your legal office-to help ...:~ you figure out what you're signing.

Vets' exemption process changed
A law passed by the 1982 New Mexico
Legislature changed reporting requirements for veterans in claiming their
veteran's exemption for 1983 and subsequent tax years. The change eliminates
the need for the veteran to go to the
assessor's office each year before the
end of February to claim exemption.
Condron anniversary
forty years ago today, 2nd Lt. Max
Condron was killed when his plane
crashed during a training mission on
what is now known as Condron Field.
The landing strip sits on a dry lakebed
on top of an ancient Indian burial
ground. It is rumored to have once
been used by smugglers as a rendezvous point for the exchange of contraband. The area was first used in 1942
as an emergency landing field by
Army aviators towing targets for
anti-aircraft training missions of
Biggs Field at Fort Bliss. Condron,
flying such a mission, died when his
aircraft crashed during a "searchlight" mission, apparently as he was
attempting to make an emergency
landing. After his death, his comrades began calling the strip "Condron Field". In July 1945, simultaneously with the birth of White Sands
Proving Ground, the area was officially named Condron Field.
If a veteran claimed his or her exemption for 1982, and the property against
which the exemption is being claimed
in 1983 is the same property, the exemption will be automatically applied
by the assessor for 1983 and future years.
The veteran does not have to take his or
her Veterans' Certificate into the assessor's office to claim exemption.
If a veteran is eligible for a veterans
exemption in 198~. but did not claim the
exemption for the 1982 tax year, he or she
must claim exemption in 1983. An
exemption is to be claimed by taking the
veteran's certificate of eligibility to the
assessor's office by the last day of
February. After the veteran's exemption
is claimed in one year there is no change
in the veteran's eligibility or ownership
of property against which the exemption
is claimed.
For more information, Dona Ana
County veterans should contact Billie
Jo Ford, 523-4854. Her office is in the
City-County Building, Room 241, at 575
South Alameda in Las Cruces. The first

The right sleeping bag is
a camper's most important
piece of equipment. After
all, the quality of your
sleep can make or break
you, says Susan Wright,
extension clothing specialist at New Mexico State
University.
First, consider where
you'll be camping. Ternperature will help determine the type of sleeping
bag you'll need.
Then think about how
often you plan to use the
bag. Since sleeping bags
range in price from about
$20 to $150, you might
want to consider renting
one if you only plan to use
it once. Also, keep in mind
that if you plan to go backpacking, you'll need a
bag that's lightweight.
After you've considered
your needs, get acquainted
with your options. The two
basic types are down ·
filled bags (stuffed with
feathers from geese or
ducks) and bags filled with
synthetic insulation.
Both have advantages
and disadvantages. Down
is warmer, lighter and
easier to carry because it
can be compressed more.
But bags with polyester
insulation cost less, dry
quickly and keep you warm
even if they get wet.
Down and synthetic bags
come in three shapes ··
mummy, barrel and rectangle. Mummy bags are
the warmest, but they make
some people feel cramped
because of their tapered
design. Barrel bags are
the next warmest. They're
flared at the middle to give
extra room. And though
rectangles are the roomiest, they're also the least
efficient at holding body
heat.
Care is another factor to
consider. It's important to
check the instruction ineluded with a sleeping bag
before you wash, dry or
dry clean it.
For all basic types,
manufacturers
suggest
machine or hand washings.
Generally, dry cleaning
is not recommended for a
synthetic bag. If the care
instructions say hand wash,
don't despair.
Fill a bathtub with just
enough warm water to get
the bag wet. Using a
mild detergent, knead
the bag until it's clean.
Rinse it completely, then
get someone to help you
pick it up horizontally,
and put it in the dryer.
Throw in a couple of clean
bath towels or a clean
tennis shoe if you're drying
a down · filled bag. This
will help break apart
clumps of down. Also,
remove the bag several
times while it's drying and
shake or pat it to break up
damp clumps.
After you've chosen your
bag, make sure it fits you.
Even a few inches can make
a big difference, so when
you find a bag that suits
your needs, try it on for
size before you buy it. ·

ARMTE dining-in to honor artillery patroness
Tonight, St. Barbara, the patron saint
of artillerymen, will be honored with a
dining-in at the Officers Oub. The
dining-in is being hosted by the Army
Materiel Test and Evaluation (ARMTE)
directorate.
St. Barbara is a saint highly revered by
the' military.
According to legend, Barbara was the
extremely beautiful daughter of a wealthy
heathen named Dioscorus, who lived
near Nicomedia in Asia Minor. Because
of her singular beauty, and fearful that
she be demanded in marriage and taken
away from him Dioscorus jealously shut
her up in a tower to protect her from the
outside world.
Shortly before embarking on a journey,
Dioscorus commissioned . a sumptuous
bathhouse to be built for her, approving
the design before he left. Barbara had
heard of the teachings of Christ, and
while her father was gone she spent much
time in comtemplation. From the windows of her tower she looked out upon
the surrounding countryside and marveled at the growings things -- the plants,
the trees, the animals, and the people.
She decided that all these must be part
of a master plan, and that the idols of
wood and stone worshipped by her
parents must be condemned as false.
Gradually she came to accept the Christian faith.
As her belief became firm, she directed
that the builders redesign the bathhouse
her father had planned, adding another
window, so that the three windows might
symbolize the Holy Trinity.
When her father returned he was enraged at the changes and infuriated when
Barbara acknowledged that she was a
Christian. He dragged her before the
prefect of the province, who decreed that
she be tortured and put to death by
beheading. Dioscorus himself carried out
the death sentence. On his way home he
was struck by lightning and his body
consumed.
St. Barbara lived and died about
300 A.D. She was venerated as early as
the seventh century. The legend of the
lightning bolt which struck down her
persecutor caused her to be regarded as
the patron saint in time of danger from
thunderstorms, fires, and sudden death.
When gunpowder made its appearance
in the Western -world, St. Barbara was
invoked for aid against accidents resulting from explosion. Since some of the
earlier artillery pieces often blew up instead of firing their projectiles, St.
Barbara · became the patroness
of
artillerymen.
St. Barbara is usually represented
standing by a tower with three windows,
carrying the palm of a martyr in her hand.
She may hold a chalice and sacramental
wafer' and sometimes a cannon is displayed near her.

Make sure the Christmas tree you buy is fresh
There are a few tricks to picking out a
perfect Christmas tree and making it last
the holiday season.
Some of the trees on Christmas tree
lots were cut as early as the middle of
October. Buyers should carefully examine trees for freshness.
Buyers should look for supple, secure
needles. H needles are brittle when
they are pressed between the thumb and
forefinger, or if they fall from the tree
easily when it is moved, select another
tree.
Another check for freshness is to look
for sap beads at the tree base. H there
are none, the tree could be as much as
two months old.
A tree that is dry when it is purchased
may not last as long as the buyer wishes.
A cut tree is still alive and must be
kept fresh . Studies show that a Christmas
tree absorbs about a quart of water a
day. Trees should have at least a two
quart water reservoir that will probably
have to be refilled often.
Cutting four of five inches of a tree's
base will open new conducting tubes
which allow the tree to take up water.
Trees constantly absorb water and give
off moisture which carries the . natural
evergreen aroma throughout the house.
Christmas trees heighten fire dangers
during Christmas, but those risks can be
minimized. Keep a Christmas tree outdoors until time to install it in the house.
Once inside, keep it in a cool place away
from anything that generates heat, including radiators , heaters, fireplac~s ,
television sets, and ornamental lights develop will be a happy reminder of that container. Choose a sturdy location,

organization for use in landscaping. As
an added bonus, a tree donated to such
organizations is tax deductible.

With winter approaching, many homeowners and
renters are looking forward
to the warm glow of a fire,
as well as a reduction in
heating bills.
Unfortunately, a traditional fireplace cannot be
considered a good secondary heating source.
The fireplace draws
warm air and the removal
of warm air cause the heating system to work harder
and may increase the utility
bill.
When using a fireplace,
cut off the central heating
system, close the room
with the fireplace and open
a windown near the fireplace about one-half inch.
This prevents the heating
system from running continously. The open window
provides needed air for
proper combustion in the
fireplace.
A more effective option
is the use of a fireplace
insert, which is a woodburning stove adapted to
fit in an existing masonry
fireplace. These units vary
in available features, but
have a heating efficiency
of more than 50 percent.
They can be equipped with
There are several ways to glass doors or screens to
increase the efficiency of a allow viewing.
Alone
If there is not an existing
fireplace in the home and
one is desired, consider a
wood
heat-circulating
system. These systems,
with efficiency ratings from
50 to 60 percent, have heatexchange

C-shaped grate made from
steel tubes welded together
side-by-side. Burning logs
rest on the tubes as cool
air is drawn from the room
through the bottom of the
tubes. The air warmed as
it flows through the tubes.
With natural convection or
fans, hot air returns to the
room.
Another way to decrease
the flow of warm air up
the chimney is to install
glass fireplace doors which
radiate more heat into the
room.

How do you rate as a money manager?
Some people seem to have a natural
instinct for making their spending and
income match. Other people have no
problem earning money, but fail to spend
it wisely. They can't seem to resist
buying more and more, even when they
can't afford it.
To rate your money management
skills, answer the following questions
yes or no, suggests Jackie Martin, exten·
sion family finance specialist at New
Mexico State University.
Do you pay more than you have to?
Do you often buy from habit without
comparing prices, thinking a few cents
difference is unimportant on small
items?
Are you an impulse buyer? Do you buy _
'\>~
\~G LOils
Do you throw out food or other items,
fail to use things you bought or fail to
take good care of your possessions to
make them last longer?
To rate yourself as a money manager,
give yourself 10 points for each question
you marked no. You 're an excellent
money manager if you have 100-90
points. You're above average if you have
80 points, while 70 points means you
need improvement. If you have 60 points
or less, you need to analyze your spending habits fast. You are heading for
financial trouble, Martin cautions.

Transporting a 90-foot tower 67 miles
over mostly dirt .roads was all in a
day's work recently for members of
WSMR's Facilities
Engineering
Directorate. The frequency surveillance tower was assembled and transported by FE for WSMR'S U.S.
Army Communications Command
(USACC) for use at Fort Bliss. The
four-sided tower weighed 28 tons and
was 12 feet wide. It was put together
outside the FE carpenter shop for
transport to th.e east end of Biggs
Field at Fort Bliss. To be taken to .
Fort Bliss the tower had to be loaded
onto two trailers hitched together with
a dolly and special rigging. Two 25ton cranes were used to load the
tower onto the trailers. At Biggs, it
took two more 25-ton cranes to raise
the tower and a 35-ton crane to guide
its legs into position in a foundation
of freshly poured concrete. WSMR
safety officer specialist Luis Schrader
assisted in developing an operating
procedure for the task and provided
the necessary guidance to enable
workers to assemble, paint, deliver, and erect the tower without a single
accident. Twenty-seven FE personnel
took part in the operation.

Strategy can overcome children's resistance to sitters
"Do your children resist staying with a
sitter? You can help by taking the time to
understand their reasons," says Leo
Yates, extension family life specialist
at New Mexico State University.
Children feel more comfortable in the
familiar surroundings of their own home.
Having the sitter come to your home
is a first step to smoothing the resistance.
Children who spend most of their
time with their parents tend to cling
to parents when a sitter arrives. They
may even fancy they are being left out of
adult activities enjoyable to them, a
myth parents can deal with by talking
with their youngsters.
Children's feelings can be redirected
from disappointment at being left at
home to anticipation of playing host or
hostess to the visiting sitter.
Activities can be planned -- popping
corn, preparing a snack, reading a
favorite story or teaching a game to the
sitter -- that will prompt youngsters to
look forward to the evening.
Remind children in the sitter's presence that the rules of the house still
hold. Eleborate on some of these, so
normal privileges and freedoms are not
restricted by an over-cautious sitter. A
written list of basic rules of the house
can be used repeatedly.
As children grow older the written list
will need updating to allow some practices restricted to younger children and
prohibit others that tots might never
think of doing.
.
Part with an affectionate hug and
assure your children you will return, but
long after their bedtime. Small children
especially need this reassurance.
Whatever the age, leave your sitter
specific instructions for handling emergency situations -- a phone number where
you can be reached or the phone number
and name of a neighbor or relative willing to respond in an emergency.
Also, remember that different situations require different handling. For
example, overnight care sometimes
calls for a different sitter. Some sitters
are more afraid of this kind of arrange-
ment than the children they're caring for,
so find a sitter who feels comfortable
with the job.
When children -- some as young as
five or six -- resent being left with a
sitter, the problem is probably their
desire to be grown up.
Children may try to show they are
grown up by controlling their sitter.
Here are some behaviors that signal
the problem of children trying to control
a sitter:
--They may want to play parent or
employer, telling the sitter what to do
and what not to do.
--They may want to do things expressly
forbidden by their parents.
--Children may want to be pals or peers
with the sitter, especially if the sitter is a
pre-teen.
To get his way, a child might try acting
extremely helpful, cooperative and
affectionate, the specialist says. Parents
should decide what behavior they will
or will not allow.
Finally, remember that care for
children is a responsibility that requires
special attention from parents and
sitters alike.
