Girl Scouts See
Plenty Of Action
In Dec. Jan.
The Girl Scout Troop 57 of Kay-
bee Heights was a busy group
during the months of December
and January.
The first week of December saw
the Girl Scout Calenders being
sold and then the troop helped
decorate the tree and the interior
of the Girl Scout "Little House"
along with the other troops of
Kaybee Heights.
The second part of December
was the start of the project to
make Christmas gifts for the par
ents of the members and as this
ject was completed the Troop
participated in the gift exchanbe
and Christmas party.
On December 29th a Christmas
open house for all of the Kaybee
Girl Scouts was held at the "Lit
tle House" and just prior to the
party everyone met in groups of
four and five at various homes to
make cookies for the party. It
was fun and the parents indicated
that they enjoyed every moment.
In January the rank and badge
work was checked and the items
to be completed were noted in
order to participate in the "Court
of Awards." Everyone wants to be
ready for those occasions.
The Girl Scouts scrap book in
which everyone has taken a turn
in sketching coloring and pasting
is nearly filled.
Many of the girls have found it
interesting to scan through the
notebook and to reminisce over
what the group has accomplished
together during the past Girl
Scout year.
WOMAN BURNS TO DEATH
SAN ANTONIO (UP) Mrs.
C. H. Montgomery was burned
to death Tuesday in a fire at her
home. Firemen said the fire
probably was started by a short
circuit in a heating pad.

San Jose Co*
Gets Contract
For Carriers
Award of a $51500000 contract
to the Food Machinery and Cehmi-
cal Corporation San Jose Cali
fornia for an additional quantity
of amphibious M59 Armored Per
sonnel Carriers has been announ
ced by the Department of the Ar
my.
The M59 is a speedy tracked
land vehicle capable of crossing
rivers and lakes and climbing
steep slopes to give mobility and
firepower to the Army's new
Pentomic Divisions.
The vehicle offers protection
against blast and small arms fire
which should reduce casualties
in any future conflicts.
Besides carrying 12 fully-equip
ped infantrymen the M59 can
double as a mobile Command
Post a Communications Center or
provide logistical support. An out
wardly similar vehicle the M84
carries a mortar crew and am
munition.
This new contract for M59s is
the latest and largest in a series
negotiated by the San Francisco
Ordnance District with the Food
Machinery and Chemical Corpora
tion.
Since the company designed the
vehicle in 1952 constant refine
ment of the M59 has given the
modem infantryman an armored
carrier more maneuverable
smoother riding less costly and
simpler to operate than anything
available in World War II or Ko
rea.

Army Fliers
To Receive
New Helmet
Army fliers will soon be wear
ing a new hard hat to improve
safety and communications for
their specialized missions.
The design of electronic
equipment for the protective
helmet is being supervised by
the U.S. Army Signal Engi
neering Laboratories.
As a starter on the project the
Army went to the Navy and bor
rowed several helmet shells to de
termine proper installation of the
electronic package.
This show of harmony between
Army and Navy is a striking ex
ample of interservice cooperation
since fliers are noted individual
ists in headgear styling—whether
for the boulevard or the wild blue
yonder.
Army pilots have had no hel
met of their own since the Air
Force became an independent ser
vice after World War II.
However the Army today is the
world's largest operator of heli
copters. These and its wide array
of fixed-wing aircraft for observa
tion troop and materiel move
ments and other missions under
line the fact that Army aviation is
performing an important defense
role.
Most of an initial lot of 300
helmets are to be worn as an
interim standard design and
will be tested during Army op
erational flights in Europe. A
few will be used for further en
gineering tests in the states.
The design will not interrupt
long-range Army plans for a fly
ing helmet which also will provide
protection against shrapnel and
small arms fire by ground troops
Work in the Signal Laboratories
is under the immediate direction
of John L. Faherty Jr. Chief of
the Audio Transducer section of
Avionics Division.
Seamaster Can
Belt Enemy Subs
Washington (AFPS) —The Navy
says the resumption of flight
tests of the P6M Seamaster is a
"significant advance" in the de
velopment of a major antisub
marine warfare weapon.
Vice Adm. W. V. Davis Jr.
Deputy Chief of Naval Operations
for Air said' recently that pro
duction models of the 600-mph
minelaying jet seaplane will be
used to "go after enemy sub
marines in their home ports in
the event of any big war."
"By refueling from submarines
or other small units enroute"
the admiral said "the seaplanes
could deliver mines or nuclear
weapons against any targets along
vast arcs 2000 or more miles
from their tenders."
Sharp Jump
In RR Ranks
Seen Lately
Major General Guy S. Meloy
Jr. Fourth U.S. Army Deputy
Commanding General for Reserve
Forces said today that there has
been a sharp upturn in the num
ber of Ready Reserve enlistments
in the Fourth U.S. Army area
during the past two months.
The area comprising Arkansas
Louisiana New Mexico Okla
homa and Texas exceeded its en
listment quotas by 216 per cent
and 171 per cent respectively in
both November and December.
As a result of these gains" he
pointed out "Fourth U.S. Army
is seeking ahigher enlistment quo
ta for January and anticipates a
large quota for February."
Former Chief of Army Informa
tion General Meloy lauded the
support being given the Ready Re
serve recruiting campaign by
news media and private citizens
in the Southwest.
Their support has been most
beneficial in calling attention to
the need of a strong Ready Re
serve and informing prior-service
and non-prior-service men of the
advantages to be derived by ser
ving in a unit" he said.
General Meloy reiterated that
participation in the Ready Re
serve training program will not
keep a reservist from changing
civilian occupations or jobs mov
ing to another locality or going
away to school and engaging in
any normal civilian pursuits.
The recruiting campaign was
given a boost in mid-November
when many of the restrictions ap
plicable to U.S. Army Reserve
units were lifted.
Information concerning enlist
ment opportunities in the U.S. Ar
my Ready Reserve units ^nay be
obtained by contacting the local
Army Reserve unit commander
Army Reserve unit advisor or the
U.S. Army Recruiting Station.

Hearts Party
Scheduled By
Signal Group
Hearts flowers wine women
and doorprizes. That's what the
women of the Signal Group are
planning. Instead of the usual
monthly coffee there will be a
dinner dance at the Officer's
Mess Saturday.
To prove that the men of the
Signal Corps are the best sweet
hearts in the service (to their
wives anyhow) and to mitigate
the parting pangs Strong Arm
will effect a bit later a Valen
tine couples party is the pro
ject. The hearts could wish it
was to be a free festive event
but alas the pocketbook wouldn't
take it.
The best they could come up
with was free hors d' oeuvres
free wine free favors free door-
prizes and to charge an admit-
ance of $1.75 per person for the
dinner. Dancing will be free as
well.
Fliers have been distributed to
all Signal personnel but if you
are Signal and your flier got
blown away in the February
breezes—now you know. For re
servations call one of the follow
ing today.
