.... NOT YET!
Thinking Man Needed
This is an era of automation!
Today we can sit in our car push a button and the
windows roll up. Push a button on a vending machine
and out pops a pack of cigarettes push more buttons
and an assembly line of soft drinks lunches fruit and
even wearing apparel appears.
Data processing machines tabulation cards num
bers and more cards continue to make the wheels of
industry and science turn swiftly. In short machines
today can do almost anything.
But have you ever seen a machine that can pro
duce qualities of leadership? A machine that can pro
duce determination?
No you haven't and chances are you never will!
Machines are man's servant—not his master. Machines
cannot love freedom or country or the democratic
way of life or respect the dignity of man.
So Mr. Serviceman it's not yet time for you to
worry about being replaced by a machine!
Your human traits of skill creativity courage and
determination still and always will remain the major
ingredient of our military strength and our country's
security.
Whether you fight on land sea or in the air your
mastery of the equipment you use coupled with de
termination and common sense can mean the difference
between victory and defeat.
So it boils down to this. A machine has yet to be
built and it seems very unlikely that it will be built to
replace the human mind. In the defense of America's
democratic institutions from their enemies the absolute
weapon is man the thinking man not a machine.
Your mind is what makes you indispensable. Are
you prepared to use it? (AFPS)

Col. Greene Takes Command
Of 1st AD's 2nd Brigade
He assumed command from

member of the family remain
ing behind so requests and if
the housing forecast situation
permits.
The retention of quarters be-
yondi 60 days will not be ap
proved unless the post com
mander personally determines
an unusual compassionate con
dition exists for a specific re
quest.
After the request for reten
tion of quarters has been ap
proved the housing office will
offer all assistance possible
when clearing quarters.
In preparation for clearing
quarters the housing office
should be notified at least five
days in advance of your final
inspection date at which time
an appointment will be made
for a pre-termination inspec
tion.
This courtesy inspection is to
determine if any engineer
maintenance is required be
tween occupancy of quarters.
If certain engineering mainte
nance is required you will be
notified. This will help relieve
the family of certain custodial
type maintenance on the quar
ters.
In clearing and preparing the
quarters for final inspection
several things must be kept in
mind which will make it easier
for all concerned.
All government furniture and
property will be cleared in the
quarters.
You must make arrange
ments with the Transportation
Office (Building 4249) for the
movement of household goods.
Contact the telephone office
(Building 2204) and have your
phone disconnected and your
final bill prepared.
All quarters must meet the
required standards of cleanli
ness as required by post reg
ulations.
When the final inspection of
the quarters is completed re
port to the Family Housing Of
fice so that you may receive
your termination of housing or
ders.
For dependents desiring to
remain in this area during the
absence of their sponsor the
Family Housing Office under
the direction of Mr. H. H. Mor
rison maintains a current list
of available housing in the im
mediate area.
