Salute To Workers
To many Americans Labor Day is simply the last
holiday of the summer season. Since it always involves
a three-day weekend millions of people observe it by
jamming the nation's highways trying to have as much
last-minute "fun-in-the-sun" as possible before the ap
proach of winter.
The true meaning of Labor Day is all but lost to
many of us. That is unfortunate because Labor Day
has a deep significance for all Americans.
So let's refresh our memory. Let's take a quick
look at the history of Labor Day and the American
heritage it represents.
Labor Day is a working man's holiday. Observance
of it began in 1882 when the Knights of Labor a work
ers' organization of the time sought to name the first
on a in S be a or a W or in
throughout the nation asked for state laws to make
it a legal holiday. Oregon in 1887 was the first to act
Other states quickly followed suit. Congress declared it
a national holiday in 1894. Now it is a legal holiday
throughout the United States and Canada as well.
From the beginning the idea behind Labor Day
was to commemorate the efforts of the American labor
force that group of working men and women who
represent a cross section of American strength and
know-how.
Why a special day just for working people? As
members of the armed forces we can provide one ready
answer. Our weapons our equipment used in our
daily job of protecting America's freedom are the
result of American skill. Without the labor force there
would be no planes to fly no missiles to launch no uni
forms to wear no barracks no office equipment
none of the ordinary tools we use every day.
So while you are on your way to your holiday fun
spot this Labor Day take a moment to remember that
the car you're riding in the road you're driving on
in fact just about everything that makes America
great are products of the American working man
and woman. (AFPS)

Full Equality
The following statement by President Lyndon B.
Johnson is published in its entirety for the information
and guidance of all military and civilian personnel
throughout the Department of the Army.
"I want to make one thing unmistakably and in
delibly clear to every Department every Agency every
office and every employe of the Government of the
United States.
"The Federal service must never be either the ac
tive or passive ally of any who flout the Constitution
of the United States.
"Regional custom local tradition personal pre
judice or predilection are no excuses no justification
no defense in this regard.
"Where there is an office or an officer of this Gov
ernment. there must be equal treatment equal respect
equal service and equal support for all American
citizens regardless of race or sex or region or religion.
"Public service is a public trust. I would call upon
every Federal civilian employee to remember that he
bears a high and solemn trust to the Constitution un
der which he serves. If all about him neighbors
friends fellow townsmen even family falter or fail
in respect for the Constitutional rights of others the
public servant in the service of his country has a duty
to protect defend and uphold those rights by work
and deed.
"The Federal service asks no conformity no uni
formity of thought and no unanimity of vote. But where
Constitutional rights are concerned the country can
ask no more and accept no less than uncompro
mising devotion to the constitution itself.
"I am asking the heads of each Department and
Agency to communicate this to every office and officer
whatever their rank or position of the Federal service
and to take all appropriate measures to assure full com-
olinnce with the spirit of the law that governs and
guards us all." (ANF)

"Financial stress burdens
and even crisis particularly
when military personnel re
ceive short notice orders to de
part on unaccompanied over
seas tours can be avoided by
intelligent planning and prepa
ration beforehand" announced
a post finances spokesman.
The post finance office locat
ed in Building 10-11 offers serv
icemen some sound suggestions
so that regardless of any
eventuality the family budget
is not thrown out of whack.
Suggestions regarding allot
ments is one such area.
Through the allotment pro
gram established by the Army
servicemen are permitted to
authorize a portion of their pay
for support of their dependents
savings puposes or both. The
authorized amount is deducted
from the regular monthly pay
an a an he a
bonds are issued accordingly.
By selecting the Class "E"
allotment military personnel
can have monthly checks mailed
to their bank for deposit to
their account pay premiums
on commercial life insurance
or perhaps give financial as
sistance to a needy relative.
If on the other hand a sol
dier prefers to invest and save
money by buying U. S. Savings

Receiving cash or a check on
payday may be inconvenient for
so so el I so
personnel can request that their
net pay and allowances be paid
to their designated dependents
or to a bank for credit to their
account by initiating the new
Class "L" allotment.
Anticipating the need of a
stand-by allotment for support
of dependents in an emergency
situation while stationed over
seas a class "X" allotment has
been established. Personnel
may select this allotment to
furnish financial assistance to
their families when adverse
conditions prevent them from
providing support through nor
mal channels.
Another type of allotment is
the Class "Q" whose sole pur
pose is to provide support for
military personnel with fami
lies. If the soldier receives the
basic allowance for quarters
(BAQ) and is an enlisted mem
ber in the lower three grades
or an E-4 (with four years'
service or less) authorization
of a Class "Q" allotment is
mandatory. If a senior enlisted
member he is directly respon
sible for the support of his de-

Planning Eases Family Burdens
Bonds he can purchase bonds
through either a monthly Class
"B" or a quarterly Class "B-
1" allotment.
Another suggestion area is in
the custom of drawing advance
pay. Unless handled with care
and discrimination the disad
vantages of drawing advance
pay on change of stations can
far outweigh its intended bene
fits.
The purpose of drawing ad
vance pay is to furnish temp-
oray relief from the expense
of providing transportation

costs and the procuring of new

penenls. He can receive BAQrule the amount advanced
but cannot authorize this allot
ment.
Personnel are reminded that
once an allotment is initiated
the first allotment check will
be forthcoming only after the
allotment begins drawing mon
ey from the individuals basic
pay. That is should the allot
ment be initiated the latter half
of any month such as August
the first allotment check would
arrive a month later or as in
this case the beginning of Octo
ber.
should not normally exceed one
month's basic pay.
The ready access to cash is a
convenience but the repayment
thereof may create real hard
ship over an extended period of
time for the serviceman aiul
his dependents. Too often the
overdraft with reduced regu
lar income during the period
is overlooked.
Still another service of the fi
nance office is the often over
looked military pay voucher. In
addition to being a permanent
statement of a soldiers pay it
provides other beneficial infor
mation. By monthly checking
his military pay voucher the
soldier can verify his name
service number and social se
curity number insuring he is
getting full value of wage cred
its as reported to the Social
Security Administration.
He can also verify that all
his allotments are being deduct
ed his tax exemptions stated
correctly and that he is receiv
ing credit for all items of pay
to which he is entitled.
