I the last of the seven original

Mrs. Cooper has presented to

Temple USO
Scores Another
Club First
The Temple USO scored anoth
er first in its attempts to pro-
Aide for the needs of the serv
icemen at Fort Hood.
Saturday Sp-4 James H.
Roberts and Mary Ann Brenek
were married at the USO Cen-
-ter in Temple. It was the first
time that there has been a wed
ding at the center in the last
10 years according to Mrs. Wil
liam Hunt the program aide for
organization. The couple had met
at the USO and decided that
their wedding should also be
there.
The most popular activity of
the center is its "Man of the
Month" contest. The service man
with the highest record of at
tendance at the club for the month
is the winner.
Another very popular activity
of the USO is its "Mr. and
Mrs." club which is open to mar
ried service personnel and their
wives. Major activities such as
a cook out bar-b-q or picnic at
a el to a re an

in joining may contact the Tem
ple USO for further information.
The USO has announced that
a full length movie will be
shown after the traditional Sun
day dinner each week. Tuesday
Family nights will continue
where each family brings enough
sandwiches for the group and the
USO provides the coffee cake

Too
Army Wife to understand what
her life has been through the time
Gordon Cooper made up his mind
to enter the space program the
training and the actual flight into
space. There must have been the
times of silence listening to his
hopes and giving encouragement.
It is certain there was never any
expression on her part of defeat
—although she must have thought
of the possibility. And what about
the threat to her family in such
an undertaking?
Her role is much like that of
the Army wife. There is no doubt
she has spent many lonely hours
has accomplished many tasks nor
mally performed by men and
has spent many suspenseful hour
waiting for his selection the out
come of his training and the
final flight into space.
She had the courage to let her
husband go—go on this extremely
dangerous mission—where at any
time something could go wrong
and wipe out the dreams and
hopes of her family and the en
tire nation. There is no doubt
that you the Army Wife under
stand this woman more than any
one else could.
Mrs. Gordon Cooper has our
admiration as all women do
whose lot it is to wait to hope
and to pray for the safe return
of their men in their missions of
safeguarding and protecting the
Free World.
Soldiers Learn
Survival Tricks
During Lecture
Two 2d Armored Division spe
cialists in survival escape and
evasion having spoken to most
of their Hell On Wheels Division
found new and interested ears
recently in the 1st Armored Divi
sion.
Head of the survival section of
the 2d AD's recent counter insur
gency course Sp-5 Thomas M.
Sharper and SFC George F. Ba-
ber both of the 58th Infantry
have told the tricks of living in
the wilds to thousands of 2d Ad
soldiers.
Last week the 1st AD asked
its neighbor division for support
in this field for a class of the
501st Support and Transportation
Co. of the 1st AD.
The 58th Infantry was contact
ed and Sharper and Baber got the
nod.
"They just asked us to help
them out" said Maj. William A.
Glasgow 58th executive officer
"We were glad to do it."
Starting out with an attention-
getting rabbit punch to the neck
of a rabbit Sharper of Hq. Co.
began the class on survival tech
niques and how to kill and pre
pare game with the bare hands.
He also demonstrated the butch
ering of an armadillo and sep
arated the good meat from the
bad-eating.
An hour by Sharper was fol
lowed by equal time to Sergeant
Baber of Co. A who included
survival habits of the Alaskan
Eskimos and how they make
"rabbit soup" without actually
using the rabbit (rabbit dropp
ings instead).
"Any time they want
experience knowledge or skill
they are welcome to call on the
58th Infantry" said Sgt. Maj.
Marvin B. Manning.
