America's most modern fight
ing force—the 1st Armored Divi
sion—yesterday put on an impres
sive show of strength as it played
host to several top-ranking Mexi
can military representatives.
The mightiest weapons of "Old
Ironsides" were first shown to the
guests in a static display of equip
ment. Later they went through
their paces in a demonstration of
firepower and finally were shown
in action going over two assault
courses.
The guests included seven gen
era^ who have Mexican Army
commands adjacent to the Amun-
can border who were invited to
^isit Fourth Army installations by
fc. Gen. I. D. White Fourth Army
Commander.'
These visits have been conducted
annually for the past several years
by Fourth Army. This year the
stopping points include Fort Sam
Houston Tex. and Fort Sill Okla.
as well as Fort Hood.
Mexican dignitaries who observ

On the day of our visit all rec-
reationists in attendance were fe
males of the species. All of them
were sunning themselves on the
beach save one female of perhaps
10 years of age she was actually
swimming and she appeared to be
enjoying it.
Please do not misunderstand us.
We are not kicking for what we
saw greatly soothed our aesthetic
instincts. But as an objective re
porter we feel duty bound to re
cord exactly what we saw which
was one cutie in the water and 37
on the beach. And our computa
tions were correct. We counted 74
legs and divided by two.

LESSON IN COMPUTATION
The other day we visited the of
ficers' swimming pool. Our visit
occurred in the morning. Although
the pool is maintained by the of
ficers and for the officers no of
ficer was present.
VThe purpose of our visit was not
swim but to gawk. As a boy we

In a recent installment we con
fessed to a considerable know
ledge of women. There was actual
ly little truth in our claim. We
are now willing to confess there
are two things about women we
have never understood. We have
never understood why they spend
hours and hours shopping in the
stores and never buy anything
and we have never understood
why they spend hours and hours
at a swimming pool and never go
near the water.
thought of writing
that we "flew by air' but since
our city editor does not have much
sense of humor and does not know
that people also fly on the high
ways these days we thought we
had better not try to get funny).
don't laugh at the redun
dant use of the word "since'
above. Our writing teacher always
told us never to back into a sen
tence but if we did back into one
never try to back out. That was
what we were trying to do. Our
writing teacher wrote 24 novels
139 short stories and 26 essays.
None of them was ever published
but we still think she was a good
teacher. Our father also taught us
a little about writing. Whenever
he sat down to write a letter he
always started out by saying that
he was taking his pei in hand to
write and after he had said all
he could think of he would end up
by saying he would write no more.
It was instruction we have never
forgotten.
But we had better shut down on
this writing lesson -.nd get back
to Dallas. We went up there to do
'a little hollering for the USO and

le Army Omar N. Bradley. We

ter of National Defense.
Upon their arrival here yester
day morning they were greeted by
Maj. Gen. Hobart R. Gay com
mander of HI Corps and Maj. Gen.
William S. Biddle commander of
the 1st Armored Division.
Also at the Fort Hood air strip
was an honor guard commanded
by Maj. Wendell G. Van Auken
Pthe G-2 (intelligence officer) of
Reserve Command.
The honor guard was composed
of 90 men from the 702nd Armored
Infantry Battalion under Lt.
Charles R. Kennedy 90 men from
the 100th Tank Battalion under
Capt. Clifton W. Mooneyham Bat
tery "A" of the 91st Armored Field
Artillery Battalion under Lt. Arthur
M. Heath and the "Old Ironsides"
Band directed by Chief Warrant
Officer Erwin M. Greger.
After the honor guard inspection
they proceeded to the Pilot Knob
area where a conference on the or
ganization and employment of an
armored division was conducted by
Gen. Biddle.
Lt. Col. Marshall B. Allen com
mander of the 1st Tank Battalion
1st Armored Division then briefed
the audience on the static display
of armored division equipment.
Display Equipment
Representative equipment was
from a medium tank battalion an

Our Peripatetic ReporterWrites

To say that he is any great
shakes as a public speaker would
be far removed from the truth for
he is not. He is an extremely mod
est man who acts like himself.
But after listening* to him for five
minutes you forget that he is not
a good speaker. What makes you
forget it is the fact that intelli
gence and candor and common
sense radiate from him like heat
from a stove.
He told several good stories but
the best one was about his old
friend General George S. Patton.
Old Blood and Guts as he was
known to the entire world had the
reputation of fearing no man the
good Lord or the devil. But
throughout the war he often pri
vately confessed to General Brad
ley that he was more or less hu
man that he dreaded getting shot
at as much as any other normal
human being. His only hope was
that his men would never make
that discovery.
Throughout World War II Gen
eral Patton's closest companion
was a white bulldog named Willie
who has since been written into
song and story. Willie also had an
abhorrence for gunfire and was
usually the first one under the bed
when the general's headquarters
came under fire.
During the African campaign
the Germans had General Patton's
headquarters under artillery fire
for several days. One night to
make matters worse the German
bombers came over to drop a few
eggs.
Ajout midnight General Patton
called General Bradley (who was
then a Corps Commander) on the
telephone.
"Brad" the general said "why
can't Vandenburg put some planes
in the air and stop this bombing?
They've been plastering me for
three hours. I'm not scared but
Willie is.'
Dallas is only a little more than
an hour away for our slowest
planes. We left for there at tei. in
the morning. We could have been
home at three in the afternoon but
we wasted an hour looking in the
Aemoeeil
Manning Mountain. Following
lunch they moved to an observa
tion post on Manning Mountain
where they watched a firepower
demonstration by an M48 Patton
tank M41f Walker Bulldog tank
105 millimeter howitzer an anti
aircraft artillery section and an
81 millimeter mortar.
The demonstration was narrated
by Capt. William C. Meyer Jr.
commander of Company "B" 4th
Tank Battalion.
At the Individual Tank Course
designed to test the proficiency
of a tank crew they followed a
tank crew of the 13th Tank Bat
talion from its readiness check and
briefing through its critique.
Col. W. H. Sterling Wright com
mander of Combat Command "B"
briefed the audience and Capt.
John J. Thompson S-3 (plans and
operations) officer of the 13th Tank
Battalion narrated the problem
assisted by Lt. George T. Hold-
croft of Company "A" 13th Tank
Battalion.
Tank Infantry Show
The day was concluded with a
demonstration at the Tank-Infantry
Combat Course which is designed
to train tank-infantry platoons in
combat teamwork and action
directly supported by mortars ar
tillery and air.
Again Col. Wright gave the brief
ing while Maj. George BM. Hard
in S-3 officer of Combat Command
"B" narrated the problem.
Troops and equipment for the
problem were furnished by the

THE BANKER'S GLASS EYE
As everyone knows Omar N.
Bradley is a very great man and
is looked upon by military men porter on a Kansas daily we al
everywhere as one of the great ways wrote globing tribute to our
generals of all time. After hear
ing him speak for 30 minutes we old note was due. We would al-
were fully convinced that he de
served all the honors that have
come to him.
Years ago when we were a re-
banker just a few days before our
ways say that our banker was a
Christian man that he could al
ways be depended upon to do more
than his part in promoting civic
betterment in fact we always
described him as the foremost
citizen in the town. And it always
worded. He renewed that old note
year after year until our grand
father died and left us $1500 in
cash money. Many a time our
banker was so- overcome by our
encomiums that we could induce
him to include the interest in the
renewal.
We never believed there was
ever a better man in the world
than our Kansas banker until we
moved to Ft. Hood a couple of
years ago and met Roy Smith. Roy
reminds us so much of our old
banker in Kansas civic-minded
good about renewing good about
including the interest and good
about calling us on'the telephone
whenever we overdraw.
Our note at Roy's bank is i.ot
due until 60 days hence so no one
should construe this as being an
attempt to influence him one way
or the other.
But we think a lot of Roy Smith
and we called at his bank the
other day just to say hello. There
is nothing we would not do for
Roy Smith. There is nothing (we
hope) he would not do for us. We
found Roy in excellent humor
and asked him if he had ever
heard the old Mark Twain banker
joke.
"If you've heard it" we said
"don't say so. We want to hear it
again ourselves.'
We believe Roy had heard the
joke but he said he hadn't so we
told it to him.
Mark Twain once went to his
banker to borrow $5000. After
wrangling for a long time over
security which Mark couldn't fur
nish the banker said to Mark:
"I have one glass eye and one
good eye. If you are smart enough
to tell which is the glass eye I'll
make you the loan.'
"The glass eye is your right eye
of course' Mark responded. "It is
the only one with a spark of
human kindness in it."
(Our guess is there will be at
least 10 readers of the Sentinel
Dallas stores so we would arrive who have never heard this old
home a little after four and thus one.)
We asked Roy why all bankers
kick so much about overdrafts
have nothing to do for the remain
der of the afternoon.

MESSAGES RECEIVED BY
THE 4TH ARMORED DIVISION
ON ITS REACTIVATION WERE:
GENERAL RIDGWAY
For the first time since the close
of WORLD WAR II the standards
of the 4th Armored Division are
again unfurled signaling the be
ginning of another significant
chapter of the Division's history.
You have come to this division
from many units. The knowledge
and pride which you derived from
them will further you in good
stead in this new assignment. You
have a high standard to live up to.
The 4th Armored Division fought
all the way from Normandy to
Czechoslovakia. It helped to heal
off the Brittany Peninsula. It de
fended the Moselle Bridge Head.
It broke through the encircling
enemy to relieve the American
troops at Bastogne it was first
to cross the Saar River and in the
drive across Germany it engaged
in fierce action at Bitburg. at
Koblenz at Worms at Frankfurt
at Hanau and beyond. Through
your efforts and skill and loyalty
the record of the 4th Armored Di
vision will be worthily carried on.
No one can forsee what may lie
ahead of you. I know however that
the competence and determination
which you possess and the inspira
tion which you will draw from the
splendid traditions of the fine or
ganization of which you now be
long will enable you to meet every
challenge and surmount every ob
stacle which may confront you.

An Editorial
We All Have A Job To Do
THE EDITOR SPEAKING:
(Reprinted from the Temple Daily Telegram June 6 1954)
WE KILLED FIVE PERSONS on our Bell county high
ways last week and injured 14 more to a degree ranging from
slight to serious.
Are you appalled?
Yes you probably were when you read about it Saturday
for a full two minutes before turning your thoughts to weeding
the flower bed or breaking 90 at golf that afternoon.
How many times have those figures 5 and 14 crossed
your mind since? How many times have those two statistics
forced themselves between you and the reality that we all have
a responsibility in this terrible traffic wreckage?
These things happen because somewhere we have failed.
Newspapers have failed to "sell" traffic safety volunteer safety
councils the nation over have failed to cut the toll ministers
have failed to preach the sin of murder on the highway our
teaching institutions have failed to teach civic responsibility
of the roadways the public has failed to provide enough offi
cers to enforce the law 100 percent and parents have failed
to impress their children with the importance of driving safely
—and are themselves often the world's worst examples.
Therefore we are all indicted before the unseeing eyes
of the five dead and the pain-filled eyes of the 14 who still
live. Traffic safety is the job of all of us and we must find
some way to bring that lesson home.
Suppose this time we skip the platitudes and the statistics
since they seem to fall flat as weapons against traffic accidents.
Suppose instead we think of the people involved. It matters
not for example whether they are soldier or civilian. Re
member that a soldier is generally a young man of 19 or 20
who is wearing the uniform of his country for a couple of years
or more. And a uniform can't cause a wreck.
No what we have in mind is this:
Perhaps the story of traffic accidents should not be told in
the number of dead and injured but in the pints of blood spilled
the number of bones broken the number of skulls cracked the
economic loss in property and wages because of injury. The
most impressive argument we ever heard for traffic safety came
several months ago in a talk by a state highway patrol official
of long service. He too used statistics to make his point. But
toward the end his voice rose a degree he spoke through
clenched teeth and his eyes flashed as he said this in effect:
"I have been to many accidents but I will never get used
to it. I will never get used to broken bones sticking out of
bruised and mangled flesh nor to blood pouring from deep
cuts to scalps peeled back from crushed heads by broken glass.
I have heard the horrible screams of the dying as we struggled
to reach them through torn metal and jagged glass animal-like
screams that literally tear into your insides. No I will never
get used to it—and I believe I am a safer driver for it."
Are you appalled?
Certainly you are but not for long enough. We must all
become appalled or one day we will no longer weed the flower
bed or swing the golf club. Or what's worse one day we may
have to go on living with the sight of a twisted body and the
scream of a dying person forever with us because our careless
ness killed him.

Early History
The 36th Texas' own "T" patch
men have ample reason to be
proud of their unit. Its history
dates back to the Battle of the
Alamo February 1836. Since that
time the 36th has fought in all
major battles.
In World War H in 19 months of
combat in five major campaigns
and in two amphibious assaults
the 36th Infantry Division had ex
pended the maximum in heroism
and hardship. The 36th can well
be proud of their 175806 enemy
soldiers captured 15 Congression
al Medal of Honor winners 10
presidential Unit Citations and
numerous other battle awards.
During the formative years men
of the Division bore the distaste

Third Army in the swamplands of

pinmed for an early overseas
shipment.
