[Best Foot Forward
Many Fort Hood soldiers are busy today preparing
I their equipment and clothing for the displays review
and other various events which will be on view tomor-
|row Armed Forces Day.
It seems to many of them to be a waste of time to
Igo to all this work. Many probably feel that the Army
lis just putting on its own version of a three-ring circus
|to amuse the general officers and their guests.
But Armed Forces Day is much more than an oc
casion to force enlisted personnel to do extra work. It is
la
day of recognition to illustrate the role of the United
[States armed forces in protecting America from aggre-
Ision.
Armed Forces Day was established to demonstrate
Ito the taxpayers what the military is doing to produce
land maintain "Power for Peace" which is this year's
leme.
The public in a democratic society such as ours is
antitled to see how its government spends the public's
tax money. We in the military must show our civilian
leighbors on Armed Forces Day that their money is
aeing well spent to protect the United States from any
.memies. We must put a little extra effort in prepara
tion for tomorrow when we and our fellow fighting
len will be on display as physical evidence of America's
leterrent power.
Failure to put our best foot forward will reflect dis
credit not only upon our commander but also on our
selves. If the public is unimpressed with what we have
to show them tomorrow we will not have fulfilled our
obligation to society an obligation to bear arms in re
turn for the "right to life liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness."
Our enemies are only too happy when the American
juBlfc becomes disgruntled at the tremendous cost of
latiwl defense. America's fighting men. should never
?ive^Bkto our enemies and giving the public the im-
DressioBtfiat our Army is unprepared and unequipped
Jo
fighSwoilld be aiding them.
We are prepared to do battle for freedom and we
enow it. Tomorrow let us convey this same feeling to

le pay increases would average

Weighted most heavily for those

'The Wound in the Heart" by
Allen Guttnian (The Free
Press of Glencoe 292 pp)
The Spanish Civil War is per
haps the first of the modern
wars and the last of the good
and great causes.
When the Spanish Morocco gar
risons rose in rebellion under
General Franco the overthrow
of the existing seemed almost
forthcoming. Instead the Spanish
landscape was to be the battle
ground for over thirty-two months
of conflict.
....
To Spain came the armies of
Adolph Hitler and Benito Musso
lini to fight on the side of Franco
and from nations throughout the
world volunteers to fight on the
side of the Loyalists.
Why did volunteers from
throughout the world and especial
ly the United States chose to
fight in Spain?
In "The Wound in the Heart"
Allen Guttmann discusses and
documents the climate of opin
ion that existed during the fight
ing in Spain.
Guttmann has taken as source
material the books pamphlets
magazines films propaganda re
leases and radio broadcasts of the
time.
One of the most famous Amer
icans to go to Spain was Ernest
Hemingway. His World War One
novel "A Farewell to Arms"
had expressed disillusionment
with war and its causes but in
Spain Hemingway saw that all
causes need not be lost and
that some words did after all
have meanings that matter.
In "For Whom the Bells Toll"
Hemingway records the Spanish
partisans fight and his disillusion
ment with communism.
On April 1 1939 the Spanish
Civil War officially ended but
even today strong feeling can be
aroused by mention of the war.
For many the Spanish War
was a personal tragedy. Albert
Camus said: "It was in Spain
that men learned that one can
be right and yet be beaten that
force can vanquish spirit that
there are times when .courage is
not its own recompense."

One of the few certain things in our fluxing society
is the fact that there are not many parents who are sadis
tic enough to wish harm to their children.
Be that as it may it is also a fact that parents continue
to injure and maim their offspring year after year. Grant
ed that most of these parents cause this grief through a
moment of thoughtlessness this does nothing to relieve the
pain and scars of their children.
A point in case is the story of the mother Mrs. Arme
Wyphe who being in a hurry one day left her two small
boys in the car one day in back of the main post ex
change while she dashed inside to do some last-minute
shopping. Being curious little tykes they started twisting
the various knobs and pulling at handles. Their labors
brought forth fruit when the horn shorted and began
blaring in the monotonous ner-wrecking way that only
a stuck horn can.
They continued to experiment with the knobs and
handles trying to stop the noise. One of them pushed the
automatic transmission gear lever from park into neu
tral. Having been in too big of a hurry the mother for
got to pull the emergency brake handle. The car rolled
down the grade and crashed into a parked car.
The smaller of the two who was standing on the seat
fell against the window ledge and cut his forehead. Des
pite the free flow of blood he only suffered a slight scalp
wound and did not go into shock.
The anguish of the careless mother did nothing to
relieve the fright of the two youngsters nor make the re
pair bill on the two cars any cheaper. She was and is the
best of mothers and yet her moment of thoughtlessness
could have crippled or scared her two sons or someone
else for life. .k
Don't try to save a few. seconds by leaving your
children alone in* an automobile. Those few seconds
could come back to haunt you for the rest of your life

Troop Inf ormation
Heritage
If a soldier is up to date on
the hisotory of this country he
should have a very interesting
and enjoyable Troop Information
class next week. The "Heritage
Quiz" a review of some of the
former subjects of this quarter
will be the topic.
Questions will be selected to
test the individual's knowledge
on various phases of The De
a at on of I
Constitution Your Representa
tive Government as well as
some current events.
Scoring will be done on a Bar
Graph ranging from 1775 to 1963.
The idea of the contest is the
answer questions valued at from
five to 20 years reaching the pres
ent time from the beginning of
this country's way of life.
The quiz will enable each sol
dier to review his knowledge of
the Declaration with questions
such as "Who was the first
signer of the Declaration of In
dependence?" to questions con
cerning Your Representative Gov
ernment such as "What is a
pockeft veto?"
Members of the armed forces
should be especially interested in
this phase of the Troop Infor
mation program. The primary
mission of the soldier is protect
ing the American way of life
therefore he should have a basic
knowledge of the ideals fought
so hard for by his forefathers.
The soldier must furnish the
shield against anyone who may
want to deprive the United States
of its freedom. In order to do
this he must keep ourselves in
formed. The soldier must speak
up for freedom and democracy
and state the facts as he knows
them.
A soldier is not as he some
times hear "just a civilian in
uniform". In standing ready to
defend his country against any
one who may attempt to change
his way of life he is discharging
