How To Get Killed
Editor's Note: The following article appeared in the
Aug. 25 issue of the Dallas Times Herald.
AUSTIN (UPI) With the Labor Day holiday
weekend coming up the Texas Safety Association has
issued a special advisory on "How to Get Killed in Holi
day Traffic."
—Fail to yield right of way.
—Drive too fast for existing conditions.
—Drive faster than posted speed limit.
—Drive while drunk.
—Drive on wrong side of road.
J. O. Musick TSA general manager said the list
of rules was formulated "for those drivers who feel
they have a built-in personal immunity to accidents
and therefore can disregard any or all warnings

In Time Of Need
Preparation for tomorrow is a difficult task and
one that's often postponed. But the wise husband and
father will have an up-to-date file of important papers
and personal information tucked away in a safe yet
accessible place.
Be sure your file includes the name and address
of your local Army Emergency Relief and Army Re
lief Society representatives. Dedicated to helping Army
families they can give comfort and assistance in dif
ficult times.
Army Emergency Relief
Most people are familiar with Army Emergency
Relief. Since 1942 it has dispensed millions of dollars
in grants and loans at no expense to the government.
Whenever a need exists AER comes to the aid of
active duty soldiers and their dependents as well as
many retired and disabled personnel and their families.
Army Relief Society
The Army Relief Society is not as well known as
AER yet its humanitarian work dates back to 1900. A
bustling and efficient organization the ARS is devotee
to the widows and orphans of Regular Army officers
and men.
Designed to aid the widow until regular benefits
are established through various government and in
surance programs ARS grants and loans offset basic
living costs dental and medical care and other emer
gency expenses.
If necessary the ARS representative will help the
widow and her family prepare a long-range budget pro
gram so that the Society can provide financial aid for
periods up to six months. At that time the case is re
viewed to determine continued need.
With elderly widows and large families the Society
gives vital help for indefinite periods.
A scholarship program makes it possible for many
dependent children to attend colleges and vocational
schools.
Army Emergency Relief depends on its annual fund
drive for basic financial support. Although the Army
Relief Society receives ten percent of the money donat
ed in this campaign the bulk of its assets comes from
endowments and gifts.
oOo
Help Beat Inflation
Inflation brings with it grave social injustices and
instability. It destroys not only the value of savings
but also confidence security and social values. Infla
tion is the cruelest form of theft—a theft with greatest
harm to those least able to protect themselves. Infla
tion results in the destruction of the value of money."
So says George M. Humphrey former Secretary of the
Treasury.
A part of every American's savings belongs in
United States Savings Bonds. That is the most effective
way for individuals to fight inflation. Keep part of your
pay in U.S. Savings Bonds the easy way through the
payroll savings plan. Buy a "Share In America."

CI Capsules
Security checks on Army Basic Combat Trainees
who are slated for sensitive jobs or schooling will now
begin during their first week in uniform. The process
ing speed-up outlined in change 3 to Army Regulation
612-200 will make it possible for the new soldier to
receive his security clearance upon completion of BCT
and thus move immediately to his sensitive assignment.
Department of the Army officials have an
nounced that enlisted men will not be separated from
the service during an enlistment for being overweight
nor will disciplinary action be imposed. Instead the
individuals will be denied reenlistment. Officers and
warrant officers who exceed weight standards will be
carefully evaluated for elimination from the service.
ARs 40-501 and 600-7 apply.
The U.S. Army War College at Carlisle Bar
racks Pa. has welcomed its 50th anniversary class.
The school was established in 1904 and has graduated
a class of senior officers every June except during the
war years. During the 10-month course the officers
from all branches of the Armed Forces are prepared
for command and high level staff duties.
Beginning in the summer of 1966 all officers newly
assigned to senior division ROTC duty will attend a three-week
training course to study the fundamentals of the ROTC program
and develop an understanding of the college enviroment. Pro
fessors of Military Science will continue to receive their brief
ing at appropriate CONUS Army Headquarters.

The train's engineer said he
saw the stalled car applied
his brakes and started sound
ing the train's whistle. As he
was sounding the whistle he
heard a crash and applied the
emergency brakes police said.
This was the first instant he
realized another car was near
by.
Train crewmen pulled all the
victims from the wreckage.
Investigating officers said
the two injured children were
saved from instant death by
seat belts. They were found
in the back seat. The front
seat was equipped with seat
belts but neither the cap
tain nor his wife had them
on when the train crewmen
pulled them out.
