One year ago today a one-caraccident near Camdenton, Mo.,killed two Ft. Wood soldiers andseriously injured two others. Thiswas the first of 94 major acci-dents that were to occur duringFiscal Year 1969 involving sol-diers from the post. Thirty-onedied in these accidents while 89suffered disabling injuries.

The new fiscal year has alreadybegun. Major General A. P. Rol-lins Jr., post commander, hasexpressed his desire that therebe no repetition of last year'sIndependence Day fatalities. Toachieve this goal commanders at

all levels have been asked to em-phasize water safety, defensivedriving principles and other per-tinent unit accident experienceprior to issuing passes or leavesfor the holiday period.

To assist commanders in thiseffort "The National Driver'sTest" will be shown on closedcircuit television.

The goal of an accident-freeholiday weekend is not impossiblefor Ft. Wood. No accidents involv-ing post personnel were recordedduring the recent Memorial Dayweekend.

TO MAKE AMERICA FREE

On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted theDeclaration of Independence. But before it could becomethe bedrock of a free nation, that nation itself had tobe formed. To achieve this objective our Founding Fatherset about the job of translating the Declaration into areality. Patriots fought and died to establish a freeAmerica. July 4, 1776, achieved a place of honor in thecalendar of world history.

As we join now in the observance of our country's 193danniversary, the final words of the Declaration of Inde-pendence provide a testament for all Americans: "And forthe support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on

the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledgeto each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacredHonor." We must uphold that pledge. To do less wouldbe to break faith with our forefathers who braved pri-vation, hardship and even death to make America free.

Woman's VoiceLeads Men Astray

The men of the 12th Transpor-tation Company learned recentlyto keep their guard up even in thebattle of the sexes. The alluringvoice of a young lady led them in-to a trap that in combat could havebeen disastrous, but insteadproved to be invaluable training.

During the week of June 16, the12th Transportation Company con-ducted its annual Army TrainingTest. The 515th Engineer Com-pany (Pipeline) acted as aggres-sors under the supervision of Ser-geant First Class William H. Hill,a veteran who has served in theSouth Pacific and the Republicof Korea, and recently returnedfrom his second tour in Vietnam.

During the third night of as-saults, SFC Hill decided to usean unusual tactic against the 12thTransportation Company sinceprevious attempts to break thewell guarded perimeter had failed.He approached Mrs. Betty Webb,one of the head directors at the

Soto Service Club, and explainedthat he needed some musical in-struments to distract the men.Mrs. Webb suggested that it mightbe a unique approach for her toaccompany the aggressors and en-courage the men from the 12thTransportation Company to defect.

Military men. are accustomed toan enemy carrying weapons orconstantly harassing with artil-lery fire. A*woman's voice hasproved distracting on the frontlines. Mrs. Webb spoke to the menfrom a concealed position. Sheidentified herself, asked them whatthey were doing and invited them tocome to a party at the club thatnight. She spoke progressively

louder and encouraged the menfrom the 12th Transportation Com-pany until they began to defect.The 515th Engineer Company waswaiting to capture them.

The operation was a success..

sion under actual combat condi-tions.

The 12th Transportation Com-pany (Light/Medium Truck) hasbeen on post since its return fromGermany last November. Its pri-mary mission here is to train for

Calls for Safety, Tooto observe state and Federal regu-lations and use common sense inhis boating practices.

According to some evolu-tionists, man's primitive ances-tors emerged from the water sev-eral eons ago. Whether this istrue one thing is certain-Homosapiens now displays a definitepropensity to go from the land tothe water at every opportunity tofish, swim,s ki, hunt waterfowl orride in a boat for the sake ofriding. And he is doing it in everincreasing numbers.

Perhaps the main reason for en-gaging in any of these activitiesis to escape the pressures and de-mands of society. With so manypersons taking to the water it hasbecome necessary to make andenforce regulations to provide fortheir safety.

Boats operated on Federalwaters must be equipped with alife-saving device for everyoneaboard. Innertubes do not meet

Federal requirements, If boatsare of closed construction and16 feet long, they must also carryproper lights and fire extinguish-ers. A craft from 16 to 26 feet mustcarry a hand whistle or hornaudible for at least one-half mile.Most states have similar require-ments.

Other items of equipment thatare not mentioned in Federal rex-ulati)ns but should be carried are

anchor, line, paddle, first aid kit,flashlight, fenders, tool kit, extracan of fuel, compass and distressflares.

Before launching the boat, gearshould be balanced equally on eachside of the center line. Passengersand gear combined should not ex-ceed the manufacturer's recom-mended load limit for the boat.The tanks should be fueled beforeleaving the dock,

Powerful craft should give fish-ermen, swimmers and hunters awide berth. Operators of boatsshould constantly watch for skiierswho may swing far out to the sideof the towing boat.

In all cases, courtesy on thewaterwill help t- prevent accidets.

Standing in small craft is al-ways risky. 'ave motion, wakesfrom passing boats and movementof passengers within the boat aremagnified beyond the expectationof the standing person and caneasily launch him and possiblyhis companions and gear into thewater.

In the event that a boat cap-sizes, it will normally trap airand remain floating. Passengersshould stay with the craft unlessthe water is extremely cold andthe shoreline very close.

4th Drowning Occurs

A Ft. Leonard Wood man drowned while swim-ming in the Gasconade River last Saturday, becom-ing the post's fourth drowning victim this year.The circumstances surrounding his death are un-known, but there are many possible reasons. Onefact stands out, however. Of the four drowningsthree occurred in unauthorized swimming locations.

Earlier last month two men stepped into a hid-

den, deep hole while wading in the Big Piney Riverat dusk.

The dangers of swimming in unauthorized, un-known places are many. Water depth varies. Rocks,logs, barbed wire and broken glass may lie belowthe surface waiting to snag the unwary swimmer.Rivers that appear calm on the surface may behiding powerful undercurrents. The Gasconade andBig Piney are famous for that trick. The currentsare a hazard in themselves and are also constantlychanging the position of gravel bars, holes, logsand even boulders.

Swimmers, even good ones, often overestimatetheir abilities and swim out farther than they canswim back. Other often-listed causes of needlessdrownings are use of alcoholic beverages beforeswimming, swimmers' cramps brought on by en-tering the water too soon after eating, swimmingin cold water, overworking unconditioned musclesand old-fashioned horseplay.

Even when a swimmer makes a mistake hecan Lve through it if he does not panic. The onlyreal defense against panic is to learn how toswim, float and tread water. Lessons are availableat most supervised pools.

Falling from boats and docks and other so-called"inadvertent entries" into the water cause more

than half of all drownings. It would behoove boatersand fishermen to learn to swim and practice swim-ming. They should also be aware that the time maycome when they will have to swim fully clothedafter failing from a boat or dock.

Modern life preservers are lightweight and com-fortable. There is no excuse for the non-swimmeror poor swimmer not wearing one. Young children

should never be permitted to play near the water,walk on docks or board a boat without a life pre-server.

Fishermen, especially those who fish from thebank or wade out into the stream face a specialset of dangers.

At no time is there an excuse for wearing

open topped, waist-high waders in a boat. Thereare two schools of thought among stream-wadingfishermen concerning the sealing of wader tops.Some contend that deep holes are the biggesthazard from which no one can escape if the wadersare not watertight at the top. Others maintain that

losing one's balance is the biggest hazard andsealed off waders cause one to float upside down,drowning him in shallow water that he could standin if he could get upright.

It would appear that wading should be done withgym shoes and normal clothing or with sealed

waders and life preservers. Open waders shouldbe avoided or used only with a stick for depthprobing.

Many drowning deaths occur as one swimmertries to rescue another. People whose job it is torescue others will testify that a drowning personwill grasp anything with which he comes in contact.

Amateurs should try to contact the struggling swim-

mer with a rope, pole or life ring. If these are notavailable, the rescuer should approach the swimmerfrom behind and quickly apply a one-armed head-lock. A modified side stroke can be used to towthe swimmer ashore.

Even untrained persons have successfully usedmouth-to-mouth resuscitation by imitating thesteps shown in films or books. Methods of savingthe lives of others and protecting one's own lifeshould be learned and used.

A human characteristic seems to be a feelingof immunity from accidents of all types, yetstatistics continue to discredit this belief. Manneed not live in constant fear of every conceivableaccident, but he can take painless precautions toimprove the odds.

Road Signs Are Cost y TargetsTu.ese are just a few of the

highway signs the Missouri StateHighway Department has discardedbecause of damage by vandals.Damage is caused by shooting withfirearms, bending by hand, push-ing down with vehicles (inten-tional mischief), hitting withstones, bottles, cans, hammersor other tools and defacing withspray paint.

Missouri taxpayers lost$250,000 last year to highway signvandals, according to a report bythe State Highway Department.This is nearly half the budget forall of Missouri's highway signseach year. This included theft andcomplete disappearance of manyvaluable signs.

In the area surrounding Ft.Leonard Wood the annual cost of

sign replacement resulting fromvandalism amounts to more than$10,000, according to an estimateby Sergeant N. E. Tinnin, safetyofficer of Troop I of the MissouriState Highway Patrol, who hasmade a study of the matter.

Captain A. H. Leslie, troop com-mander of the Highway Patrolsaid, "Destroying or defacing theseimportant warning devices alsocreates a serious potential hazardto the unsuspecting driver in areaswhere these 'Signs of Life' cannotprovide the intended warning. Anaccident can result in injury ordeath when the driver fails tosee the warning."

CPT Leslie points out that Mis-souri Statutes prohibit damage topublic highway signs and sets thepenalty at more than one yearimprisonment in the county jailor a fine of $500 or both. "Weappeal to every responsible citi-zen to recognize highway signsas 'Signs of Life'. They are notlegal targets," he said.

Arm-Wide Need for Additional npowerJuly will mark the end of an

intensive 12-week period of train-ing for a group of men assignedto the 208th MP Company. It isthe first to complete the new MPtraining program which beganApril 21.

Ft. Gordon, Ga., was the onlytraining area for MP candidatesuntil a shortage of qualifiedpersonnel created a need for moreefficient training outlets. Underthe direction of the U.S. ContinentalArmy Commander General JamesK, Woolnough, major revisionswere made on the previous 8-weekprogram. Ft. Leonard Wood waschosen as one of two sites forthe project initiation. The otherwas Ft. Riley, Kan.

The new program combines fiveweeks of classroom instructionwith seven weeks of on-the-jobtraining (OJT). The OJT and class-room combination gives theprogram a much wider scope.

The five-week class trainingphase covers such subjects ascivil disturbances, riot control,.45 caliber pistol, vice control,apprehension and search, militarylaw, criminal investigation, drivertraining, history and psychology ofpunishment, correctional treat-ment, identification and confine-ment procedures.

The 208th MP Companymaintains a roster of highlyqualifed Instructors to carry outthe program, Captain RonaldNickels, assistant provostmarshal, conducts classes in mili-tary law. Sergeant Paul Hutchinsoninstructs the candidates in the useof the .45 caliber pistol, First

aid is demonstrated by the medicalcorps. Hand - to -hand combattraining is conducted by the BCTCommittee Group.

Each class is programmed formaximum impact. One of the high--lights of the program isobservation and identification. Aseries of films and slides demon-strate methods of identification.MP candidates are taught to noticea person's general facial features,mannerisms, speech patterns andother identifying characteristics,The classes conclude with apractical demonstration. A mem-ber of the staff runs through theclassroom. The students then arerequired to describe him as ac-curately as possible.

When asked what the unifyingtheme ,f the fi:!e-week programis, Sergeant Gilbert ay, trainingNCO, replied, "W'e stress the MPmotto. 'Of the toops, for thetroops,' We ace comprised of thetroops and our basic re-sponsibilities are in the area ofhelping the troops. We stress thatan MP must be level headed andalways maintain the proper at-titude."

The candidates are tested on aweekly basis. A final examinationterminates the classroom phase ofinstruction. Four men who averagei or aibove are chosen Outstanding

Candidates of the Cycle.First honor graduates of the

course are Privates Gary R, Car-mon, Terry R. Courtright, JosephE. Devine and James A.Kotschevar.

College Graduate

Works as 8-5-2 ClerkPrivate First Class George

Walsh of B-5-2 is one of manycollege graduates serving in theArmy. He is a resident of NewJersey and came to Ft. LeonardWood for combat training. He isworking as company clerk here.

PFC Walsh attended ProvidenceCollege, R. I., and Seton Hall Uni-versity, South Orange, N. J. Hewas graduated with a bachelor ofarts degree in English. He workedas an insurance claims adjusterfor General Adjustment BureauInc., prior to being inducted intothe Army.

"The adjusting field is an ex-tremely interesting business,"PFC Walsh said. "Most peoplethink of automobile damage claimswhen the field of adjusting ismentioned. This is only a smallpart of the entire field."

The highest dollar value perdamage claim is caused by theelements, fire, wind, water andearthquake, according to PFCWalsh. He said that when aprivate

individual experiences a catastro-phe it is gratifying to see himrecover most, if not all, of hisfinancial loss because of intel-ligent insurance coverage. 'it wasnot unusual for me to pay $15,000in one month for payment of claimson behalf of insurance companies.This was far below the monthlyaverage of more experienced ad-justers," PFC Walsh continued.

An adjuster's job is to reach acash settlement with the insured.In the course of investigation heoften deals with architects, con-tractors, doctors and lawyers. Oneof the more unusual claims PFCWalsh handled involved reaching acash settlement with a farmer fora cow which was struck and killedby lightning.

PFC Walsh plans to attend Of-ficers' Candidate School at Ft.Sill, Okla. While he is waiting fororders he says he enjoys workingas a company clerk and gaining afew insights into the work-a-dayArmy life.

SSG Lenard says that he likesworking as a drill sergeant andparticularly enjoys teaching,Trainees of D-3-2 say his senseof humor makes training just alittle easier.

SSG Lenard stresses theseriousness of combat training.His Vietnam experiences havetaught him that trainees cannotlearn enough while undergoingbasic combat training here.

SSG Lenard's advice to trainees?"Work hard and be proud of whoyou are and whom you represent,"he said.

E-2-3 in Training

PCPT Highlights 7th WeekFor the men of E-2-3, the

seventh week of basic training washighlighted by the Physical Com-bat Proficiency Test (PCPT).Trainees were tested in fiveareas-low crawl; run, dodge andjump; horizontal ladders; 150-yard man carry; and mile run.The maximum score attainable on

the test is 500 points and eachtrainee must score a minimum of300 points to qualify.

The trainees began preparingfor the PCPT in the first weekof training. They ran from train-ing site to training site and haddaily physical training periods.During these periods trainees did

calisthenics designed to buildstrength and endurance,

At 6 a.m. last Thursday 175

men of E-2-3 marched to Train-ing Area 106. Approximately twohours later they had completed thePCPT and had averaged 400.12

points.Fourth Platoon took the honors

for highest platoon average with

407 points. Second Platoonaveraged 406.5 points. Third Pla-toon was next with an averageof 397.3 points and 1st Platoonwas last with an average of 398points.

High individual score was madeby Private Craig F. Faust of2d Platoon. He scored 100 pointsat each test area to earn a per-fect score of 500.

Company certificates are pre-sented to men who earn at least450 points on the test. At grad-uation exercises 27 trainees willbe recognized as members of the450 Club. Fourth Platoon had 14men who earned membership.

Captain Nicholas Tompras,company commander, praised theBCT Committee Group whichscored the men of F-2-3. Thegroup was comprised of reserv-ists from the 84th Division. Whenasked his reaction on the companyaverage, CPT Tompras said, "De-

termination and effort in takingthat extra step and doing that ex-tra bar are what helped this unitattain the high score."

Another important maneuver fortrainees in the seventh week isthe infiltration course. Thiscourse, conducted at night, isdesigned to simulate actual com-bat situations. The course is 120meters long with obstacles suchas logs, barbed wire and trenches.There are four machine gun posi-tions.

In maneuvering along thiscourse, the men of E-2-3 werecalled upon to utilize all they hadlearned throughout the cycle in-cluding the night walk and nightcrawl,

At the close of the seventh week,42 trainees were given the oppor-tunity to fire the M-16 automaticrifle. The men attended a classcovering the mechanics of theweapon. At Range 20 they firedthe weapon to become familiarwith its operation.

M1acgin bells sound as 55 car-riages are slammed to the left.The clatter is uninterrupted untiltime has elapsed and "stop typing,"is heard.

The first time a student takesone of these tests he has the falseImpression that everyone aroundhim is typing approximately 200words a minute, while he ispunching keys very slowly.

Typing is one of three coursesthat make up the Army Administra-tion Advanced Individual TrainingCourse. The rest of the programis academic including lectures,practical exercises and many off-duty study hours.

The prerequisite four-weekgeneral clerk course is composed

of typing and administrative sub-jects covering correspondence,

routine orders, DA publications,records, safeguarding defense in-formation, supply and Englishgrammar.

Approximately 100 students aregraduated weekly. Depending onacademic standing and typing:ability, students complete th fiiaifour weeks of training in, thepersonnel specialist or clerk typi stcourses. A small percentage )fstudents is assigned to on-the- obtraining before permanent ,e;assignment as general clerk,,

According to students, Englishgrammar in the clerk typistcourse Is probably the mostchallenging subject in the ArmyAdministration Course.

Under the direction of LieutenantColonel Kermit Nelson, 3d Bat-talion commanding officer, theArmy Administration Course is thelargest school in 5th Brigade.

THE WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE AND WHY arewritten into story form, commonly referred to ascopy. This is the first step in putting a newspapertogether. Next,the copy is edited before being sentto the typesetter.

M ost Irnportant

,Job Is NewsNews, by definition, is the re-

porting of an event of significantinterest to a majority of the people.Obviously, there are more eventsof significance to the Ft. Woodcommunity than. could possibly bereported in a 12-page weekly. Asa result, the GUIDON has estab-lished certain editorial policiesfor the gathering of news.

GUIDON newsgathering is a two-pronged effort. One prong is thebrigade level information spe-cialist. Each brigade has a manresponsible for collecting the newsin his unit. After his copy hasbeen edited and set he makes upthe page paste-up for the printer.Thus, each brigade page of theGUIDON becomes a single-pagenewspaper for a specific brigade.

The other half of the GUIDONnewsgathering is carried out bythe regular staff members. Theyare responsible for coveringstories that are not directly af-filiated with any of the brigades.Such stories are generally of post-wide significance.

WANT ADS are an important part of the GUIDON.The request for a classified ad comes into theoffice and is checked by another staff member.

First GUIDON Tells of Future 151 Editions Are Now HistoryThree years ago, July 1, the

first edition of the GUIDONappeared in Ft. Wood dayrooms.Major General T. H. Lipscombwas post commander then. The bigvisitor of the week was Green BayPackers' star Willie Davis. ThirdBrigade topped the Ironmen eightto seven in a baseball game atHilltopper Field. And the 543dExplosive Ordnance Detachmentwas moving on post.

The front page of that first edi-tion was devoted mostly to proph-ecies of the greatness to come.The staff promised to "strive to

out do itself from week to week;and this newspaper will be thebest. This newspaper, with yourhelp, will present the best of thehard news in addition to all thesocial, special activity and sportshighlights that make Ft. Wood thethriving community it is. TheGUIDON is ready to serve."
