Today's Fatigues Improved
Over Former Wool Outfit
Any soldier complaining of
feeling uncomfortable in today's
Army work uniform fatigues
need only to take a brief look
at what their predecessors wore
to appreciate today's garb.
Before cotton fatigues were
issued by the Army the duty
uniform consisted of an outfit
somewhat similar to today's
fatigues but made of drastically
more uncomfortable wool. The
pants were baggier the shirt
heavier and the soldier's misery

In view of the vast ac
cumulation of information cor
relating smoking and excess
morbidity and mortality a
policy on smoking in military
medical care facilities has been
established by DA and published
in Circular No. 40-68.
According to the circular
behavioral practices in the
Army an integral part of the
American society can be ex
pected to reflect generally those
found in the general population.
Army policy is that the in
dividual determines for himself
the outcome of personal mat
ters including whether or not
to smoke. However it is the
re on it of he A
Medical Department to provide
appropriate information to the
individual so he will have an
opportunity to make an in
formed intelligent decision on
the issue: "To smoke or not
smoke."
to
large. "There was only about
five different sizes of clothing
issued by the Army back
those days" stated Masters
"so it was inevitable that
large or small person was going
to be wearing a duty uniform
that was too baggy or too snug."
Inevitably DA realized that
soldiers come in many different
sizes. In 1956 a study was made
on the work uniform with
drastic changes resulting from
that study. Instead of five dif
ferent sizes fatigues now come
in 11 different sizes ranging
from small to extra large-bulky.
"Virtually everyone is assured
of a good fitting uniform now"
notes Masters. "If you can't
wear any of the sizes we carry
now you don't belong in the
Army" jokes Masters.
Army medical care facilities
have been directed to place
emphasis on educational pro
grams rather than to attempt
control personal habits by
regulation. The programs will
include lectures films distribu
tion of pamphlets and brochures
the use of posters and other
devices. Utilizing a professional
staff the programs will be up
dated continually to utilize the
latest available results of scien
tific research on smoking and
health. Medical personnel are
encouraged to establish a health
a it vi on
discourages smoking and rein
for nonsmoking practices
among military and civilian
personnel patients and visitors.
Why has the Army taken such
a stand against one of the most
common "hang-ups" of our
society? Possibly because more
than 50 million Americans still
smoke even though the practice
has been directly linked with
lung cancer. In fact cigarette
smoking may well represent the
largest single health problem to
day.
Why don't they quit? How do
they get "hooked?" No small
amount of credit is owed to
tricky advertising plus the
habit-forming characteristics of
nicotine. The multi-million dollar
cigarette industry needs only to
get a person started smoking
and he's hooked for life in
an in an A a
cigarette advertisement (finally
an ad a
television this year) shows a
handsome young man and an
equally attractive girl all caught
up in an estasy of delight while
smoking some particular brand
of cigarette. But the ad doesn't
present the usual effects of pro
longed cigarette smoking: the
tarred-up teeth a hacking cough
coming all the way from the
stomach nicotine-stained
fingers and a terrible taste in
the mouth each morning.
The American Cancer Society
having done extensive research
to determine the effects of
cigarette smoking discovered
that three times as many
Americans die each year from
cigarette smoking as were killed
in World War I. The nationwide
television advertisements have
been amazingly effective in
familiarizing persons of all ages
with the perils of smoking.
Peter J. Steincrohn noted
physician and medical writer
concluded after his research
that "every cigarette you smoke

earlier. Attempts to eliminate
children's smoking should begin
at about 10 years of age rather
than in the teen-age years when
the habit is likely to already
be well established.
One frequently overlooked but
certainly not insignificant
reasra for a person not to smoke
is the fact that it costs too
much. With cigarettes com
monly selling for 50 cents or
more per package it is not at
all uncommon for a smoker to
spend more than $150 a year to
support his habit. If he were
to put that amount into a sav
ings account (with a very con
servative 3.5 per cent after tax
es) from age 17 to 65 his ac
cumulation would amount to
around $15000. How many two-
pack-a-day families own a
$30000 home when they retire?
Of course having such- a savings

everywhere by young people
men and women.
Non-smokers should preserve
their healthy status by resisting
the first temptation to smoke.
Anyone already a member of
"the hooked generation" should
not merely cut down on cigaret
tes—he should stop smoking
altogether! Like dieting quitting
tobacco is a long-range effort
where "sprinters" don't stand
a chance. How good a long

Remodels Its
UnitDayroom
Dayrooms in barracks across
the post are most often used
at night by servicemen who
want to relax in front of TV
or over a pool table. But there
is a rapidly growing trend
among Ft. Hood's companies to
make the daycoom still a more
peasant place to relax in.
The 2nd Armd. Div.'s 142nd
Sig. Bn. is now getting in on
the modernization program.
Its dayroom consists of
several large rooms and a patio-
balcony located above the mess
hall explained the battalion ad
jutant 1st Lt. Frank S. Davila.
For the next month construction
will be going on night and day.
Davila said that soon the men
will be enjoying beer in the
"Orange Oasis."
