Operation Ferret tops
~xp ec ted goal b y 700%
WSMR's Operation Ferret
has become almost another
Horatio Alger success story.
The program to collect excess and unneeded equipment
throughout the range began the
first of January with an expected collection of about $1
million worth of equipment to
e be turned in.
The total Tuesday, the day
before the official end of the
operation, had climbed to
about $7 million and more
equipment and supplies are
arriving almost faster than
they can be processed in.
Colonel Lawrence E. Mullen,
director of Logistics at WSMR,
has announced that, due to the
tremendous response to the
campaign, Operation Ferret
• will continue until F eb . 9 to
give all post operations an
opportunity to turn in the ir
excess.
"We'll make our preliminary
report to the U.S. Army Test
and Evaluation Command as
requested Jan . 31. But to allow
additional time to post pe r s onnel for their turn -in, a
supplementary report will be
made after Feb. 9 for all
equipment t urned in up to that
date," the colonel sa id.
e
COL Mulle n said he has
received a number of favorable
comments on the conduct of
Operation F erret.
"We have a number of
personnel to thank for the
smooth operation," he said.
"Frank Jarrard and Jesse
Almon have done an outstanding job directing the turnin."
Others very instrumental in
the success, he said, are Raul

of blood was pledged, 50 of it
from A Company alone.
Because of the response,
rather than having the donors
travel to William Beaumont

El Paso will be here to collect
the blood .
They will spend the morning

"After selling the paper, I
realized that I would not be
eligible for retirement for at
least another 30 years unless I
completed another 10 years

Specialist Thompson said. "I
selected the Army because of
its stabilized duty tours and

PX renovation
contracts awarded
Arthur
W.
Henthorn ,
manager of the WSMR Post
Exchange, has announced the
letting of the contract for
renovation of a number of post
exchange facilities.
The contract for $170,000 was
signed by John R . Lavis of
General Contractor, Inc., El
Paso. Of the $170,000, $93,000 is
budgeted for building improvements with the balance
going for equipment.
Renovation will involve
painting, repairing, changing
lighting, installing acoustical
ceiling and replacing floor tile
in the main retail store and, to
a lesser extent, in nine other
branch concessions.
Alterations to the main store
will include new paint, drapes
and carpet and tile floor
coverings and the installation
of gypsum board partitions and
a suspended light system.
Similar renovations will be
made at the cafeteria, RoundUp, snack bar, barber shop,
watch repair, optical shop,
beauty shop, washerette and
the laundry and tailor shop.
During the renovation period
the main retail store located in
Building 260 will be relocated
in Building 122. Moving is
expected to begin Feb. 4 and
should be completed by Feb .
12.
Every effort, says Henthorn,
will be made to minimize
customer inconvenience
during the move. The main
store will remain open during
the move until most of the
merchandise has been transported to Bldg. 122. Then the
latter operation will open for
business.
None of the other exchange
facilities, even those located in
the present building , will be
required to move during
alterations.
The renovation of the main
store is expected to be completed and the store re-opened
by May 15.
The temporary PX facility,
Bldg. 122, is the former Officers Open Mess building and
is located directly behind
Headquarters building on
Benet Street.
The
Management
Information Systems Office, now
located in Bldg. 122 will
relocate in the basement of
Bldg. 124, The funding office
located there will move to
Bldg. 1418.
The PX is operated by the
Army and Air Force Exchange
Service with headquarters in
Dallas, TX. The Army supplies
buildings to house all facilities
of the post exchange, but the
AAFES furnishes the equipment and is financing the
renovation of the facilities
here.

Know your 'cargo'
Not long ago a military
member unknowingly transported a package containing
hashish from one base to
:mother on an international
military flight. The discovery
was made by an alert crew
chief who detected an unusual
odor emanating from the
package.
Investigation determined
that the sender had given the
package to a crew member and
asked him to take it to Blank
Air Base. Both individuals
were in TDY status at the time,
and the destination of the
parcel was the base at which
both parties are permanently
assigned. The crew member
believed the sender when he
What
•
IS
r
told him that the package
contained
personal
environmental gear. Since the
crew member knew the sender
personally, he did not verify
the contents of the package.
Moreover, the crew member
was not certain but believed
that he had previously taken
packages to Blank Air Base for
the sender.
In this case an innocent
person was exploited successfully by a drug abuser or
trafficker. The possibility
exists that others may be
victimized by this modus
operandi!
For your own protection,
investigate your "cargo."
'Key '73'?
Banded together in what is
planned to be the biggest
cooperative evangelism
project in the history of the
Christian Church are most of
the
denominations
and
Christian groups in the United
Stats and Canada.
This voluntary movement of
more than 125 denominations
and Christian groups is called
Key '73. Key '73 is:
• Christians
working
together to share Christ with
every person in North
America.
• An interdenominational,
continent-wide evangelistic
thrust to be focused on 1973.
• A cooperative venture
involving more than 125
denominations and Christian
groups.
• Concurrent Bible studies
in a million Christian homes.
• Continent-wide radio and
TV events linking hundreds of
thousands of participating
small groups.
• Massive lay witnessing
programs designed to reach
every person.
• A variety of creative
proclamation, outreach and
action events.
• Coast -to -coast mass
media evangelism.
ft Creative resources for
implementing local church
programs.
e Contemporary evangelism on a massive scale - to
meet the needs of now.
Key '73 is the broadest
cooperative activity in the
history of North American
Christendom. There are very
few Christian denominations
that are not involved in this
mighty effort.
The spectrum goes from
United Methodist to Pentecostal, from Roman Catholic
to Lutheran, from Southern
Baptist to the Churches of
Christ.
Most of the denominations
affiliated with the National
Council of Churches and with
the National Association of
Evangelicals are brought
together in this united effort.
Some churches are involved
that never before have worked
with
other
Christian
denominations.
In addition, the list of Key '73
participants includes several
Christian organizations such as
the Billy Graham Association,
Campus Crusade, and the
American Bible Society.

Alcoholics paradise?
By Chaplain <Lt. Col.)
John J. Fenton, USAF
Often enough we hear
mentioned that an overseas
tour in the military is an
"alcoholic's paradise." Class
VI stores, Embassy Shops ,
etc., make it almost impossible, if not seemingly
foolish, to resist the taxless
liquor. Add to that the not infrequent "hours" and low bar
prices and the momentum is
increased.

So much so that happy hours

the tour is completed or the
Service loses its patience, or
both .
Whether the military has a
higher rate of alcoholism than
our civilian community, I don't
know. It might make an interesting study for a sociology
major. But we can suspect that
many a man started down the
road to the disease called
"alcoholism" on an overseas
hitch. And it is a difficult
disease to cure. It requires a
maximum effort. Ask any
doctor.
Why not use that maximum
effort before the symptoms
appear? It' s called selfdiscipline. The life or wife or
career you save might be your
own.

granted to induct women into
three other clubs in District 23,
and a bout ten have joined.
Two women have applied for
membership and others are

since it is held durmg duty
hours .
The first applications will be
voted on at the Feb . 6 meeting
with the understanding that
their permanency will depend
on the decision of the board of
directors in Mar ch.

For the second time in less
than two years , a rumor
concerning a special GI in surance dividend has swept
White Sands Missile Range.
"It is nothing but a hoax ,
entirely and completely
erroneous," said Jack L .
Valencia this week. Valencia is
a service officer of the New
Mexico Veterans Service
Commission with offices in Las
Cruces .
"Congress has not passed a
bill giving World War II
veterans a dividend of fifty
cents per thousand of their GI
insurance for each month of
service," Valencia said. "The
only dividends the VA is
currently paying are to World
·War I and World War II
veterans who have continued
their government life in surance. These dividends are
paid routinely on an annual
basis and are distributeQ.on the
anniversary date of the
policies."
Valencia reported that the
VA Center at Ft. Snelling ,
Minn. , has received more than onemillioninquiriesduringthe
past month which in turn has
impeded the flow of regular
mail and regular work
schedules.

military personnel and civilian
employes who have a taste for
sea food are reminded that the
BPO Does of Drove 44, Las
Cruces Elks Lodge, will
sponsor an "Old-Fashioned
Crab Crack" Feb. 23. The
seafood favorite will be served
at 7 p.m.
All profits from the annual
dinner will go to the Does'
charitable projects, which
include support of a home for
retarded children in Las Vegas
and the Las Cruces Cerebral
Palsy Program.
The large west coast crabs
will be flown to El Paso's International Airport from
Newport, Ore., hours after they
are caught. The crab will be
served with cole slaw, potato
salad, pickles, celery , olives
and crackers. Tickets are
priced at $6 each for a "very
generous serving."
Myra Ortega , chairman of
the annual event , points out
that there is a severe shortage
of west coast crabs this season ,
which has forced the price up
more than 51 cents per pound
over last year's rate.
Reservations for the crab
crack can be made by calling
Lodge 1119 in Las Cruces (5266431 ). Only 300 tickets will be
sold for the event. Ticket sales
will cease Feb. 18.

impact it has on the local
economy.
"We may live in different
communities, but we both have
the same ambitions and goals
for ourselves and our families.
The modern day soldier is
interested in furthering his
education at a nearby
university, joining theater
groups and taking an active
part in the programs sponsored
by the schools where his
youngsters are learning,"
General Sweeney said. "The
military must join the civilian
community whenever possible,
not just in time of stress or
disaster, but in social endeavors and other projects of
mutual benefit."
The range commander noted
that the Army is now putting
increased emphasis on the
importance of people, all
people, regardless of race,
creed, national origin or sex.
''The directors of the
Women's Army Corps and the
Army Nurse Corps now wear
the stars of general officers;
we have a number of coeds
undergoing ROTC training
throughout the United States; a
number of ROTC scholarships
have been set aside for
students from disadvantaged
areas; and the U.S . Military
Academy is admitting more
black cadets than ever
before,'' General Sweeney
said.
"From this you can see that
our Army is not just offering lip
service to the women and
members of our minority
races. We are changing with
the times."
In closing General Sweeney
asked the Southern New
Mexico AUSA Chapter to help
spread the word that the
United States is presently
building a professional Army
" ... of the caliber you citizens
want and one that our nation
deserves."
During the business meeting
Robert J. O'Leary was elected
president of the Southern New
Mexico Chapter. He and other
new officers will be installed at
the June meeting.
Other new officers include
Charles Hayner, first vice
president;
Emile
(Tex)
Gemoets,
second
vice
president; Colonel Walter R.
Davis, third vice president;
Frank Tryon, treasurer, and
Harry Craig, secretary.

The Army has converted its
former facility for the
development of secret weapons
at Ft. Detrick, Md., into a
"center for human betterment" related to civilian
medical
research
and
development.
Where scientists once formulated
biological
and
chemical means of mass
destruction and defoliation,
Army and civilian technicians
now work on cancer research,
new surgical sutures and
hospital cost-control by
computt:r.
In -a large, new laboratory of
the Army Medical Research
Institute
of
Infectious
Diseases, nearly 500 persons
work to isolate viruses and
develop vaccines.
Colonel Dan Crozier, commander of the institute, says
the facility is primarily concerned with developing cures
for diseases American soldiers
pick up in various parts of the
world.
