MISSILE Published in the Interest of Personnel at White Sands Missile Range VOLUME 34-NUMBER 47 FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1982 · Post's 16 bugle calls combine tradition, utility - cording of the calls is broadcast over a speaker system in Building 100. ... On or about Dec. 10, this speaker system will be expanded so the calls can be heard more clearly in the housing area and the barracks. Speakers are being installed on top of Building 128 (the 259th Military Police Company) and at the Officers Club. The recordings heard over the system originate from Building 1644. A master computerized clock with an automated tape player automatically plays the appropriate call at the proper time. The staff duty officer in Building 100 can turn all or some of the calls off during the weekend, if necessary. The new speakers are being installed by the Electronic Maintenance Branch of the Logistics Directorate. , I The first bugle call heard each day at WSMR is at 5:50 a.m. Called First Call, it is sounded before Reveille as a warning to soldiers that they should prepare to assemble for formation. Assembly is called at 5:55 a.m. ·1 ~ I, Not every installation has a real live bugler, but bugle calls are part of life at every Army post. by Monte Creek '-' The Army has many proud traditions. One of these is the daily series of bugle calls. Originally a hunting horn, the bugle began to be used by European military regiments as a signal instrument during the 18th century. The tradition was then carried to America. Each day 16 different bugle calls are heard on the WSMR main post. A re- Reveille is sounded at 6 a.m. Reveille is a ceremony which honors the American flag as it is raised in the morning. It is also the signal for morning roll call. Should civilians be present at the sounding of Reveille, they should stop to pay respect to the flag as it is raised. At 6:30 a.m., Mess Call is sounded. This signal announces meal time. Police call is heard at 7:15 a.m. Soldiers are to clean the post area at this time. Duty call or Turn To is sounded at 7:45 a.m. This is the official beginning of the work day. WSMR honors nine at Nov. parade Nine WSMR soldiers were honored Nov. 23 during the post's monthly awards and retirement review. Heading the list of honorees was Lt. Col.

A Certificate of Achievement was presented to Sp4 Mark Bloom, the range's Soldier of the Month for November. The honor company streamer was presented to the 259th Military Police Company for being the best marching unit in the October Parade. The company is commanded by Capt. Freda Brame. Tuesday's medals were presented by Col. John Donohue, director of the Army Material Test and Evaluation Directorate. Music was provided by the 62nd Army Band from Fort Bliss. Recall is sounded at 11 :29 a.m. for preparation for lunch. This is followed by Mess Call at 11:30 a.m. Duty Call is sounded again at 12:30 p.m . At 4:15 p.m. Recall is heard again. This signals the end of the workday for the WSMR civilian workforce and preparation for dinner for the military. Evening Mess Call is sounded at 4:30 p.m. . The Retreat ceremony begins at 4:59. 30 p.m. Retreat is the ceremony during which the flag is lowered for the night. On the last note of Retreat, the 105 mm artillery piece in front of Building 100 is fired. At 5 p.m. To the Colors, an alternative to the National Anthem, is played as the flag is lowered. The flag is lowered slowly, as if reluctantly, whereas during Reveille, it is raised smartly, as if eagerly. After the flag is lowered, it is folded into a triangular shape. This is commemorative of the Revoluntionary War soldier's cocked hat. During Retreat, military personnel and civilians should stop and pay proper courtesy to the flag. The signal for lights out, Tattoo, is played at 10 p.m. Traditionally, this means that all talking and loud noises should stop within 15 minutes. Call to Quarters is sounded at 10:15 p.m. This is a signal that all personnel not authorized to be absent should be in their quarters for the night. The last call, of the day, Taps, is heard at 10:30 p.m. This familiar call means that all unauthorized lights should be shut off. It si&nals the official end of the military day.

To the registered nurse who took care of our little one -- I want you to know that you are a very dedicated woman plus truly understanding toward children. I wish I'd payed attention to your name because you definitely deserve recognition. Also, special thanks to our neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Evans, for watching our other daughter and sharing their Thanksgiving dinner with her. She most definitely would not have been able otherwise to enjoy. It is quite impossible to be in two places at one time, the kitchen and the emergency room.

Lamar University of Nebraska Press, 294 pages reviewed by Tom Starkweather I suppose it was 15 tQ 20 years ago when Charlie Brink called my attention to this book. I borrowed his and was so taken by the contents that I didn't rest until I found a copy for my personal library. Now the University of Nebraska Press has reprinted this jewel. In June 1846, Susan Shelby Magoffin left Independence, Mo. on a remarkable journey. Her husband was Samuel Magoffin, a Santa Fe trader. With him and his party she crossed the plains and mountains to the New Mexico capitol and then the Rio Grande to the El Paso del Norte and finally Chihuahua City. It was the year of American expansion that would result in the Mexican War and eventually double the size of the United States. Susan was only 18 and had been married less than eight months, so in a sense the trip was an extended honeymoon. Ever since their marriage she had kept a journal of her travels and experiences. She was a keen observer and capable author. She was also very true-I ife adve tu res· n t much in love with "mi Alma," her tall big-boned frontier merchant and husband. When Susan returned to Kentucky 15 months later she had quite a story to tell. To refresh her memory there was her notebook, which she had captioned ''Travels in Mexico Commencing June, J846. El Diario de Dona Susanita Mogoffin." She contracted yellow fever in Matamoras, lost a sone in 1847 and probably her health as well, for she died in 1855 at the age of27. The legacy she left in her diary has become a classic in Southerwestern history and is must reading for those interested in the early days of this area. WILLIAM BECKNELL Father of the Santa Fe Trade by Larry M. Beachum Texas Western Press, 89 pages reviewed by Tom Starkweather Becknell was born in what is now Nelson County, Va. in 1787 or 1788. In 1807 he married Jane Trusler and by 1810 he was in the St. Louis area. This monograph, number 68 in Southwestern Studies, follows his career as a mounted ranger in the Missouri militia in units led by members of the family of Daniel Boone, Bechnell's subsequent business The Missile Ranger Is published weekly ·as a civilian enterprise in the interest of the military and civilian personnel of White Sands MiBBile Range, New Mexico, by E.E.

Advertising and business e Sa ventures as an Indian trader and later financial troubles, and how he was saved from debtors prison by the generosity of a friend. Rather than being frightened or discouraged by such events, Becknell was planning his first expedition west--a journey that would lead him to be known forever more as the Founder of Santa Fe Trade and Father of the Santa Fe Trail. His party arrived in Santa Fe in November 1821. This trip was fraught with danger. It was an act of a desperate man. But it succeeded. Becknell went on to be a justice of the peace and a member of the Missouri Legislature before moving t to Texas in 1835. He died in Red River County, Texas, in 1956. His grave is about five miles west of Clarksville, in a pasture . Becknell was another of those individuals who helped settle the continent and create the United States of America we know today. In many respects, he, like the others, had qualities that appear to be bigger than life. On the other hand, he had ordinary human frailties and experienced disappointments that were only too apparent at times. This book is valuable addition to the shelves and knowledge of those interested in the history of the Southwest. c 80MB DISP05A L UNlT '==-- ~~(( offices are located at 1595 W.

Vets' exemption process changed A law passed by the 1982 New Mexico Legislature changed reporting requirements for veterans in claiming their veteran's exemption for 1983 and subsequent tax years. The change eliminates the need for the veteran to go to the assessor's office each year before the end of February to claim exemption. Condron anniversary forty years ago today, 2nd Lt. Max Condron was killed when his plane crashed during a training mission on what is now known as Condron Field. The landing strip sits on a dry lakebed on top of an ancient Indian burial ground. It is rumored to have once been used by smugglers as a rendezvous point for the exchange of contraband. The area was first used in 1942 as an emergency landing field by Army aviators towing targets for anti-aircraft training missions of Biggs Field at Fort Bliss. Condron, flying such a mission, died when his aircraft crashed during a "searchlight" mission, apparently as he was attempting to make an emergency landing. After his death, his comrades began calling the strip "Condron Field". In July 1945, simultaneously with the birth of White Sands Proving Ground, the area was officially named Condron Field. If a veteran claimed his or her exemption for 1982, and the property against which the exemption is being claimed in 1983 is the same property, the exemption will be automatically applied by the assessor for 1983 and future years. The veteran does not have to take his or her Veterans' Certificate into the assessor's office to claim exemption. If a veteran is eligible for a veterans exemption in 198~. but did not claim the exemption for the 1982 tax year, he or she must claim exemption in 1983. An exemption is to be claimed by taking the veteran's certificate of eligibility to the assessor's office by the last day of February. After the veteran's exemption is claimed in one year there is no change in the veteran's eligibility or ownership of property against which the exemption is claimed. For more information, Dona Ana County veterans should contact Billie Jo Ford, 523-4854. Her office is in the City-County Building, Room 241, at 575 South Alameda in Las Cruces. The first Friday of every month Ford visits Truth or Consequences, N.M., to answer veterans inquiries. ~ ~ Morale Support moving to Bldg. 124 Wed. The Morale Support Office will be moving on Wednesday to Building 124, Rooms 106, 107, 111, 113, and 114. The Equal Employment Opportunity Office will now occupy the old DP-M office in Building 143, Rooms 118, 119, and 120. The telephone numbers for DP-M will remain the same. Chapel dedication recalls 16th Century miracle All members of the WSMR community are invited to a dedication mass for what will be known as Guadalupe Chapel, Wednesday at 1t a.m. at the Post Chapel.

The Virgin of Guadalupe appeared to a poor Indian named Juan Diego at the Tepeyacac Hill 451 years ago this month. When the Virgin first appeared, on Dec. 12, 1531, she asked Juan Diego to go to the bishop of Mexico and make her wishes known. She wanted a shrine built on the spot where she had appeared to Juan Diego. This Juan Diego did. He went to see the bishop but was not believed.

December 3, 1982-Missile Ranger DtC. 6, 1884 U.S. ARMY ENGINEERS · COMPL£T[D rnE CONSTRUCTION OF n.1[ WASHINGTON MONUMnlT Southwestern Indian Handmade: Choose. new sleeping bag with ·care The right sleeping bag is a camper's most important piece of equipment. After all, the quality of your sleep can make or break you, says Susan Wright, extension clothing specialist at New Mexico State University. First, consider where you'll be camping. Ternperature will help determine the type of sleeping bag you'll need. Then think about how often you plan to use the bag. Since sleeping bags range in price from about $20 to $150, you might want to consider renting one if you only plan to use it once. Also, keep in mind that if you plan to go backpacking, you'll need a bag that's lightweight. After you've considered your needs, get acquainted with your options. The two basic types are down · filled bags (stuffed with feathers from geese or ducks) and bags filled with synthetic insulation. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Down is warmer, lighter and easier to carry because it can be compressed more. But bags with polyester insulation cost less, dry quickly and keep you warm even if they get wet. Down and synthetic bags come in three shapes ·· mummy, barrel and rectangle. Mummy bags are the warmest, but they make some people feel cramped because of their tapered design. Barrel bags are the next warmest. They're flared at the middle to give extra room. And though rectangles are the roomiest, they're also the least efficient at holding body heat. Care is another factor to consider. It's important to check the instruction ineluded with a sleeping bag before you wash, dry or dry clean it. For all basic types, manufacturers suggest machine or hand washings. Generally, dry cleaning is not recommended for a synthetic bag. If the care instructions say hand wash, don't despair. Fill a bathtub with just enough warm water to get the bag wet. Using a mild detergent, knead the bag until it's clean. Rinse it completely, then get someone to help you pick it up horizontally, and put it in the dryer. Throw in a couple of clean bath towels or a clean tennis shoe if you're drying a down · filled bag. This will help break apart clumps of down. Also, remove the bag several times while it's drying and shake or pat it to break up damp clumps. After you've chosen your bag, make sure it fits you. Even a few inches can make a big difference, so when you find a bag that suits your needs, try it on for size before you buy it. · (NMSU) EVEQ NOTlCE HOW YOUR DRIVING IMPROVE5 WHEN AN MP CAR l5 &HIND VOU?

The dining-in is being hosted by the Army Materiel Test and Evaluation (ARMTE) directorate. St. Barbara is a saint highly revered by the' military. According to legend, Barbara was the extremely beautiful daughter of a wealthy heathen named Dioscorus, who lived near Nicomedia in Asia Minor. Because of her singular beauty, and fearful that she be demanded in marriage and taken away from him Dioscorus jealously shut her up in a tower to protect her from the outside world. Shortly before embarking on a journey, Dioscorus commissioned . a sumptuous bathhouse to be built for her, approving the design before he left. Barbara had heard of the teachings of Christ, and while her father was gone she spent much time in comtemplation. From the windows of her tower she looked out upon the surrounding countryside and marveled at the growings things -- the plants, the trees, the animals, and the people. She decided that all these must be part of a master plan, and that the idols of wood and stone worshipped by her parents must be condemned as false. Gradually she came to accept the Christian faith. As her belief became firm, she directed that the builders redesign the bathhouse her father had planned, adding another window, so that the three windows might symbolize the Holy Trinity. When her father returned he was enraged at the changes and infuriated when Barbara acknowledged that she was a Christian. He dragged her before the prefect of the province, who decreed that she be tortured and put to death by beheading. Dioscorus himself carried out the death sentence. On his way home he was struck by lightning and his body consumed. St. Barbara lived and died about 300 A.D. She was venerated as early as the seventh century. The legend of the lightning bolt which struck down her persecutor caused her to be regarded as the patron saint in time of danger from thunderstorms, fires, and sudden death. When gunpowder made its appearance in the Western -world, St. Barbara was invoked for aid against accidents resulting from explosion. Since some of the earlier artillery pieces often blew up instead of firing their projectiles, St. Barbara · became the patroness of artillerymen.

Open Mon.· Fri. 9·6; Sat. 9·5 I December 3, 1982-Missile Ranger Page9 Make sure the Christmas tree you buy is fresh There are a few tricks to picking out a perfect Christmas tree and making it last the holiday season. Some of the trees on Christmas tree lots were cut as early as the middle of October. Buyers should carefully examine trees for freshness. Buyers should look for supple, secure needles. H needles are brittle when they are pressed between the thumb and forefinger, or if they fall from the tree easily when it is moved, select another tree. Another check for freshness is to look for sap beads at the tree base. H there are none, the tree could be as much as two months old. A tree that is dry when it is purchased may not last as long as the buyer wishes. A cut tree is still alive and must be kept fresh . Studies show that a Christmas tree absorbs about a quart of water a day. Trees should have at least a two quart water reservoir that will probably have to be refilled often. Cutting four of five inches of a tree's base will open new conducting tubes which allow the tree to take up water. Trees constantly absorb water and give off moisture which carries the . natural evergreen aroma throughout the house. Christmas trees heighten fire dangers during Christmas, but those risks can be minimized. Keep a Christmas tree outdoors until time to install it in the house. Once inside, keep it in a cool place away from anything that generates heat, including radiators , heaters, fireplac~s , television sets, and ornamental lights develop will be a happy reminder of that container.

Unfortunately, a traditional fireplace cannot be considered a good secondary heating source. The fireplace draws warm air and the removal of warm air cause the heating system to work harder and may increase the utility bill. When using a fireplace, cut off the central heating system, close the room with the fireplace and open a windown near the fireplace about one-half inch. This prevents the heating system from running continously. The open window provides needed air for proper combustion in the fireplace. A more effective option is the use of a fireplace insert, which is a woodburning stove adapted to fit in an existing masonry fireplace. These units vary in available features, but have a heating efficiency of more than 50 percent. They can be equipped with There are several ways to glass doors or screens to increase the efficiency of a allow viewing.

Some people seem to have a natural instinct for making their spending and income match. Other people have no problem earning money, but fail to spend it wisely. They can't seem to resist buying more and more, even when they can't afford it. To rate your money management skills, answer the following questions yes or no, suggests Jackie Martin, exten· sion family finance specialist at New Mexico State University. Do you pay more than you have to? Do you often buy from habit without comparing prices, thinking a few cents difference is unimportant on small items? Are you an impulse buyer? Do you buy _ '\>~ \~G LOils Do you throw out food or other items, fail to use things you bought or fail to take good care of your possessions to make them last longer? To rate yourself as a money manager, give yourself 10 points for each question you marked no. You 're an excellent money manager if you have 100-90 points. You're above average if you have 80 points, while 70 points means you need improvement. If you have 60 points or less, you need to analyze your spending habits fast. You are heading for financial trouble, Martin cautions.

The frequency surveillance tower was assembled and transported by FE for WSMR'S U.S. Army Communications Command (USACC) for use at Fort Bliss. The four-sided tower weighed 28 tons and was 12 feet wide. It was put together outside the FE carpenter shop for transport to th.e east end of Biggs Field at Fort Bliss. To be taken to . Fort Bliss the tower had to be loaded onto two trailers hitched together with a dolly and special rigging. Two 25ton cranes were used to load the tower onto the trailers. At Biggs, it took two more 25-ton cranes to raise the tower and a 35-ton crane to guide its legs into position in a foundation of freshly poured concrete. WSMR safety officer specialist Luis Schrader assisted in developing an operating procedure for the task and provided the necessary guidance to enable workers to assemble, paint, deliver, and erect the tower without a single accident. Twenty-seven FE personnel took part in the operation. ~I~ PitneyBowes GOOD NEWS FORFEDERAL EMPLOYEES!

You can help by taking the time to understand their reasons," says Leo Yates, extension family life specialist at New Mexico State University. Children feel more comfortable in the familiar surroundings of their own home. Having the sitter come to your home is a first step to smoothing the resistance. Children who spend most of their time with their parents tend to cling to parents when a sitter arrives. They may even fancy they are being left out of adult activities enjoyable to them, a myth parents can deal with by talking with their youngsters. Children's feelings can be redirected from disappointment at being left at home to anticipation of playing host or hostess to the visiting sitter. Activities can be planned -- popping corn, preparing a snack, reading a favorite story or teaching a game to the sitter -- that will prompt youngsters to look forward to the evening. Remind children in the sitter's presence that the rules of the house still hold. Eleborate on some of these, so normal privileges and freedoms are not restricted by an over-cautious sitter. A written list of basic rules of the house can be used repeatedly. As children grow older the written list will need updating to allow some practices restricted to younger children and prohibit others that tots might never think of doing. . Part with an affectionate hug and assure your children you will return, but long after their bedtime. Small children especially need this reassurance. Whatever the age, leave your sitter specific instructions for handling emergency situations -- a phone number where you can be reached or the phone number and name of a neighbor or relative willing to respond in an emergency. Also, remember that different situations require different handling. For example, overnight care sometimes calls for a different sitter. Some sitters are more afraid of this kind of arrange- ment than the children they're caring for, so find a sitter who feels comfortable with the job. When children -- some as young as five or six -- resent being left with a sitter, the problem is probably their desire to be grown up. Children may try to show they are grown up by controlling their sitter. Here are some behaviors that signal the problem of children trying to control a sitter: --They may want to play parent or employer, telling the sitter what to do and what not to do. --They may want to do things expressly forbidden by their parents. --Children may want to be pals or peers with the sitter, especially if the sitter is a pre-teen. To get his way, a child might try acting extremely helpful, cooperative and affectionate, the specialist says. Parents should decide what behavior they will or will not allow. Finally, remember that care for children is a responsibility that requires special attention from parents and sitters alike. (NMSU) GETTiN'iN . S~APE... Give a gift of health for Christmas.
