are utilized in US Army field
training to portray a realistic
enemy forte operating against

November. He received basic
training at Fort Jackson, S. C.

RIEHS COMMENDED
Gene L. Riehs, aviation elec
trician’s mate third class,
USN, son of Mr. and Mrs.
August Riehs of La Grange,
Rt. 1, is serving with Fighter
Squadron 103 at the Oceana
Naval Air Station, Virginia
Beach, Va. Riehs received a
letter of commendation from
his commanding officer, Jan.
7, for preventing a possible
costly accident. He detected a
crack in one of the squadron’s
aircraft nose wheel landing
gear and immediately downed
the aircraft for repairs. Before
entering the service in Jan.
1959, he was graduated from
La Grange High school.
America,” Many interesting
facts were revealed about our
South American neighbors—
their social and economic life,
their costumes, what they do
and how they live, their joys
and discomforts.
A cock fight between the
top “roosters” of Den 1 and
Den 2, dressed in traditional
Latin-American costumes, was
the highlight of the meeting.
Parents and Cubs alike en-
joyed learning a little about the
geography of South America
by identifying the countries on
the map.
Latin-American good neigh-
bor policy was coined by Pre-
sident Roosevelt, and, in view
of the reception our vice-pre-
sident received there some
time ago, it needs considerable
strengthening. A Cub Scout,
bringing home the facts about
our neighbors south of the bor-
der, could easily play an inter-
national role—who will win
their friendship, Castro or US.
The meeting adjourned after
an appropriate closing ceremo-
ed a new schedule for the La
Grange area, commencing Feb.
9.
He will be in La Grange
Thursday afternoon
from 2:30 until 5 p. m., and will
remain in town until 9 a. m.
Friday mornings. Chief Franz
can be contacted at the local
draft board office, and informa-
tion pamphlets are available at
the post office.
Chief Franz said it is the Na-
vy’s policy to stress the impor-
tance of the high school diplo-
ma, as it is the high school gra-
duate that the Navy offers op-
portunities unlimited. Though
the mental requirements are
high, it is within the reach of
the average high school grad-
uate, and to those who qualify
the guarantee of school and
training in the field of their
choice is theirs for the asking.
Chief Franz will be happy to
answer any questions regard-
ing the US Navy.

Stolen from the Rainosek

Tax Go To Schools
Texas would gain $100 mil-
lion a year for its schools un-
der a Federal aid to education
plan proposed by US Sen. Wil-
liam A. Blakley—and get it
without new taxes.
The Texas senator, who was
appointed to an interim term
starting in January, is working
to provide needed aid without
hamstringing public schools
with restrictive Federal con-
trols.
Blakley’s plan, incorporated
in a Senate bill he is sponsor-
ing. would permit each state
to retain five per cent of col-
lected income taxes for educa-
tional purposes. The money
