The Fort Hood Military
Police have initiated an enhanced traffic enforcement
effort to foster the overall post safety program. It is
designed to reduce those moving and safety violations
that contribute to accidents and jeopardize pedestrian
safety. Enforcement activities to include radar will be
post-wide and will apply to any type of moving vehicle
military or civilian traveling on Fort Hood. Marked and
unmarked military police patrols are being used in this
effort to enforce compliance with traffic laws. Violations
of posted speed limits present a dangerous situation for
pedestrians and other vehicle operators and do not foster
a feeling of security and welfare in the military
community.

HI Corps Public Affairs
What do you think of when
you hear something about the
Wive’s Clubs?
A LOT OF people think of a
it in
around drinking coffee and
gossiping. They may do that on
their own time but when it
comes to the wives clubs the
women of Fort Hood get down
to serious business.
According to Phyllis Bishop
president of the Officers Wives
Club (OWC) the main goal is
getting ladies together to work
and help the community. “We
have a responsibility to our
community” she said.
The OWC receives letters
from various organizations re-
questing funds. The requests
are voted on at board meetings.
The letters come from the
Army com unity and char-
tered organizations. For exam-
ple the OWC was able to send
several you gsters to Boy
Scout camp in 1986.
The money for these efforts
from various fu
raising activities the club spon-
sors throughout the year. The
yearly Christmas Bazaar will be
held Nov. 1. Art auctions and a
box supper social are also sche-
duled later in 1986 and l987dp
order to raise money.
THE OWC is not completely a
service organization. There are
numerous social events during
the year. There are Welcome
Coffees in July and August for
new arrivals to become familiar
with the club. The club sign-up
coffee will be held Sept. 9. This
is the time when newcomers
can actually join the club and
sign up for the various activi-
ties that are offered such as
Red Cross and craft classes.
On Sept. 23 there will be a
Texas luncheon with John
Carter a native Texas artist as
the guest. Each month there
will be a square dance for wives
and their husbands. The club is
trying to plan events which
working wives can participate
in Bishop said. Women who
are interested in joining or get-
ting more information can call
Bishop at 532-4243.
The Fort Hood NCO Wives
club is also trying to include
working wives more often.

“There is a place for every
woman whether she wants to
just attend meetings or be pres-
