Friday October 5 1973
The annual fall barbeque of
the Central Texas-Ft. Hood
Chapter Association of the
United States Army (AUSA)
was held Sept. 26 and
featured Cajun humorist
Justin Wilson.
The barbeque was moved
from Belton's Bend of the
River to the Temple National
Guard Armory because of
rain.
Over 800 AUSA members
and guests crowded into the
armory's drill hall although
some 1200 tickets were sold.
Mr. Tommy J. Mills chap
ter president presented Lt.
Horseshoes
recognized
The stables aren't the only
Eorse
lace where a person can
around. Last month
there was much of that as
non-divisional personnel com
peted in the 'horseshoe
throwing' competition in the
13th Spt. Bde. Gym. The
tournaments for the singles
and doubles events were
held on Sept. 17th and 18th
in the gym. On Sept. 25th
Col. Chris W. Stevens com
mander of the 13th Spt. Bde.
presented trophies to the win
ners.
The winner of the singles
match was Harold E.
Pereschuk 62d S&S Co. 553D
S&S Bn. Runner up was
James B. Whitehead HHD.
1st P&A Bn.
The doubles match were
won by the combination team
of Pereschuk arnd John E.
Cook HHC. pf the same bat
talion. The team made up of
Whitehead and Luigi Roberto
HHD also of his battalion.
Contestants played two
rounds during the final tour
nament. Twenty-one points
were the requirement to win
each set. The winners in each
competition will compete in
the post tournament this
month from the second
through the 23D.
Next year's non-divisional
competitions will again be
held during the month of
Sept. Interested parties
should submit a letter of in
tent to their Special Services.
The Tire Industry Safety
Council has issued a list of
special tips on care of radial
tires which are growing in
popularity by leaps and boun
ds.
"Radial tires are made dif
ferently from bias ply and
bias-belted tires" said Coun
cil Chairman Malcolm R.
Lovell Jr. "They require
slightly different care.
Motorists changing to radials
should be aware of the
special characteristics and
maintenance requirements of
these high performance
tires."
Here is the Council's list of
tips on radial tires:
•fr Always check the air
pressure of radials before ad
ding air. They may look "sof-
t" while properly inflated
because the sidewalls flex
more than other tires. Make
sure the air pressure is what
the car manufacturer recom
mends—no more no less.
Rotate radials from front
to rear on the same side of
the car. Never use a criss
cross rotation pattern.
Punctures in radials may
be repaired only if they occur
in the center area of the
tread between the two major
outer grooves and are less
than one-quarter inch in
diameter. Never try to repair
a puncture in the shoulder or
sidewall.
Use radial snow tires if
you are going to put on any
snow tires at all with your
other radials.
AUSA holds fall meeting
Gen. George P. Seneff then
III Corps and Ft. Hood com
mander with a plaque and "a
pair of boots. The boots as
Mills put it were presented
"so that every time you wear
'em and your feet hurt
you'll remember those damn-
Texans." The presentation
seemed to go over well with
Lt. Gen. Seneff and the
audience.
Other speakers commended
the chapter's growth and
discussed plans to attend the
AUSA annual meeting in
Washington D.C. Oct. 15-17.
CAJUN ON STAGE
Then one of "those won
derful hearty people" came
on stage and asked "How
ya'll are?"
From then until he stepped
off the stage Justin Wilson
A recent change that has
taken place in the 1st Bn.
92nd Field Arty. (1/92 FA)
has done a great deed for its
effectiveness as a combat
unit. The battalion is now the
only 2nd Armd. Div. unit
composed totally of M-110
eight inch self-propelled
howitzers.
Colonel Albert B. Akers
DivArty. cmdr. was present
to pull the cord on the first
eight inch round to be fired
by the 1/92 FA. Hosting the
occasion was Btry. "A" 1/92
FA commanded by Cpt.
Francis A. Tichauer.
Akers commented that
working with the new equip
ment has given the men a lift
and they really seemed to be
UD for the field exercise.
"Battery "A" a former 155
mm self-propelled unit is
now able to add a greater
depth to their support of the
2nd Armd. Div. with their
new M-llOs. The weapon has
offered the men of the 1/92
FA a new challenge and a
trememdous boost in
morale" remarked Cpt.
Tichauer.
Specialist 4th Class John
Read Btry. "A" commen
ted "I like the eight inchers
Advice on radial tires
For best all around per
formance radial tires should
be used on all wheel
positions. But if you must
"mix" tires of different con
struction always put the
radials on the rear axle.
Never "mix" different types
of tires on the same axle.
Check the owner's manual or
tire instructions affixed to the
vehicle for the auto manufac
turers' recommendation
before replacing or mixing
tires.
Make sure the suspen
sion and shock absorbers of
your car are "tuned" to han
dle radials before switching if
your car is an older model.
Most new model cars are
already adapted for radials
and radials are now original
equipment on many.
Motorists planning to
replace non-radial tires with
radial tires should buy the
radial size which is the
equivalent to the size of non-

was in charge. And despite
poor acoustics and noise
around the free beer dispen
ser he cheered dampened
spirits and filled the drill hall
with Cajun humor.
But it wasn't all for laughs.
Wilson said he "became a
member (of the AUSA) today
because I believe in this
organization and what it
stands for."
He also felt people didn't
laugh enough at themselves.
"When you learn to laugh at
yourselves ladies and gen
tlemen" he stressed "you've
got it made."
It seemed that those atten
ding the AUSA barbeque
were more interested in en
joying the evening than in
complaining about the
weather.
Howitzers effective
better than the 155s we were
using. The men operating the
weapon have more freedom
of movement and the heat
isn't nearly as bad since
with this machine we work
outside not inside it. Also
more of the functions on the
M-110 are power operated
than those of the 155s."
Elaborating on Spec. 4
Read's comments Sgt. Barry
Echard Btry. "A" section
chief said "This machine is
a lot easier to run because
for instance it just about
loads itself. Morale has gone
up since we got them and I
think it will go up even more
as we iron out problems
arising from using something
new."
The M-llOs being used by
the 1/92 FA are newly
rebuilt complete with the
latest modifications to moder
nize them. They are track
mounted and have a cruising
range of 450 miles without
refueling. If necessary they
may be airlifted to points out
side their range.
Explained Cpt. Tichauer
"When the weapons are in
motion it takes only two
minutes for them to stop and
reach fire readiness. These

equipment on the car.
Radial tire size equivalents
of non-radial tire sizes are
listed in tables contained in
the Tire Industry Safety
Council's Consumer Tire
Guide.

howitzers are fast and
durable: They can fire at
sustained rate of three
rounds every five mintues
and can shoot approximately
7500 times at maximum
range before the tube must
be changed."
The howitzers fire a 200
pound projectile which can
be hurled as far as 16800
meters (approximately 10
miles). Only two rounds are
carried on the 58000 pound
vehicles additional rounds
follow on ammunition
carriers.
