A rmy men enjoy surveilbnce at 9,600-foot Sacramento Station
by
lLTW.D. Sweatt
What does the Army do at
9,600 feet? Men assigned to
White Sands Missile Range
Troop Command's
"B"
Company say they "just listen
and watch." ·
They man the Sacramento
Frequency Surveillance
Station of the Missile Range's
Communications Division.
Perched high above the
Tularosa Basin, their mission
is to monitor and record radar
and other transmissions of test
firings on the range.
The daily schedule runs from
eight to fifteen missions and
often includes Army, Navy and
Air Force shots on the same
day.
SP6 Robert H. Stillman,
retiring this year, was first
assigned to the installation in
1961 when only a temporary
van we>!" :wflilable for housing.
"I really enjoy it up here,"
commented Stillman recently.
"The only problem is from the
promotion angle. You get out of
touch."
Until recently there were no
Military Occupational
Specialty tests for the Army's
handful of radio propagation
specialists assigned to such
installations.
Does the isolation trouble the
men assigned to the station?"!

Getting to work can be a
problem in the winter months
sometimes, however, when
drifts and fallen trees block the
road to Cloudcroft. Higbee
operates the road grader when
winter snows close the access
road to the station.

Suggestions, invention
• net $730 awards for 11
Eleven civilian employes of
Army organizations at White
Sands Missile Range have been
presented suggestion and
patent awards totaling $730
through the U.S. Army Incentive Awards Program.
The 10 beneficial suggestions
• nd one invention have been
adopted and are saving the

Dry Site becomes refuge
for wildlife of desert
by
Ed White
"Dry Site" is a White Sands
Missile Range Telemetry
Station located just 15 miles
from Post Headquarters. At
first glance it appears to be a
carbon· copy of dozens of other
stations located throughout the
sprawling range.
But, upon closer inspection,
one quickly learns that Dry
Site could also be called the
"White Sands Missile Range
Menagerie."
The four-man crew assigned
to Dry Site during missile
firings and tests has made
friends with a variety of wild
animals and birds that inhabit
the desert area.
"It all started accidentally,"
claims Brantley Tidmore,
electronics technician at Dry
Site and spokesman for the
crew. "We first started putting
scraps of bread from our
sandwiches out for the birds
that live in the area. Then it
began to snowh:ill "
The "snowball" that Tidmore mentions now includes
two coyotes, 8 coveys of quail
for a total of about 70 birds, one
roadrunner, 10 rabbits (at last
count), and hundreds of desert
birds that were originally
responsible for the "snowball."
Mr. Tidmore says that the
two coyotes, a male and female
from the same litter, will now since they were pups," Mr.
come to their regular feeding Tidmore says . "The male is

at night? Look out!
Afraid of the dark? You'd better be when it comes to driving
your car. And whe n it comes to driving on Saturday night, look
out! That is the deadliest night of the week.
The National Safety Council says that as far back as we have
records, 35 years or more, the day of the most fatal traffic accidents has always been Saturday. Sunday runs a close second.
Together these two week-end days account for nearly half of all
traffic casualties.
Another fact that repeats itself, year after year, is the
disproportionate share of traffic casualties that occur in
dar kness. Mile for mile, night-time driving is more dangerous.
And when it is night-time driving on Saturday or Sunday, that is
the most da ngerous of all.
How can this knowledge help us? To be forewarned is to be
forearmed. The prudent person will avoid the streets and highways on week-ends as much as possible, especially at night. The
wise person will drive even more defensively than usual when it
is necessa ry to drive on week-ends, and even more defensively
a nd carefully than ever when forced to travel on week-ends at
night .
Wha t to look out for? People over-driving their headlights .
People driving too fast for conditions. Drivers who have been
drinking . Young people out having a good time, with their a ttention on other things and not particularly concerned at the
moment even with their own safety , much less with yours . Overly
aggressive and belligerent drivers .
Can you avoid them? Usually you can by slowing down, watching well ahead and all around, remaining alert and looking out for
the other driver as well as yourself - in other words , practicing
all of the proven principles of defensive driving.
And best of all, avoid getting involved in a traffic accident by
resolving to stay off the streets and highways at night and on
week-ends, as m uch as possible.
"Thinking," said the little
boy, "is when your mouth stays
shut a nd your head keeps on
talking ."
Philosophers say tha t money
doesn 't bring happiness. But
wouldn't it be nice to find out
for yourself?

Everyone has a special
restaurant or "hideaway" that
is saved for special occasions
or for special guests. For many
Mesilla Valley residents that
"Special Place" is Inn of the
Mission Steak House, 1765 S.
Main in Las Cruces.
The Steak House is a little
hard to find, but worth the
extra effort expended to find it.
First, it is NOT the Pancake
House. The Inn of the Mission
Steak House is located to the
rear of the Pancake House,
with the entrance facing south
toward the swimming pool.
Upon entering the Steak
House, the first person you will
meet, in all probability, is
Bernie Brewster, Maitre d' and
your host. Bernie seems to
glide around the heavily
carpeted dining room with the
grace of a ballet dancer or a
finely trained athlete. With a
little coaxing he will tell you
that as a professional boxer in
Puerto Rico and the East Coast
he competed in 41 professional
bouts as a featherweight and
lightweight, scoring 30 wins.
As a host, Bernie is still on a
winning streak. He seems to
anticipate all of your needs. If
your drink dips low or the
butter dish empties, he will be
there with "reinforcements."
Irene Meyer will be your
waitress. She is very capable,
providing quick, quiet efficient
service. She will also help you
decipher the menu, explaining
special condiments or cooking
style particular to the Steak
House.
The steaks range from
Brochettes ($3.95) to 14-ounce
filets ($6.95). The beef is from
pen-fed steers, aged and cured
to perfection. Chef Al Ramirez
cuts and trims each steak
before it is prepared for serving.
Steaks are served exactly as
ordered. The categories at the
Inn of the Mission are RareRare, Rare, Medium Rare,
Medium-Well, and Well-Done.
Tossed or tomato salad with a
choice of four dressings accompanies the steak.
Also highlighting the menu is
mountain trout from Colorado
($3.45), and authentic New
Mexico dishes, including the
popular "combination plate."
The "combination" combines
rolled enchiladas, tacos,
tamales, frijoles, Spanish rice
and guacomole.
Shrimp from the Gulf Coast
is another favorite dish at the
Inn of the Mission.
After three visits to the Inn of
the Mission Steak House, this
guest has never been disappointed. The service and food is
superb and the setting is
perfect for quiet talk or maybe
even a business deal.
The dining room is open from
5 to 11 p.m. Mondays through
Saturdays. Cocktails, mixed to
perfection by "Jolly" Phil, can
be ordered from the adjoining
bar.
On Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday evenings frol"l 8 to
midnight the "Saints" provide
music for dancing and listening
in the "next door" lounge.

Editor, The Missile Ranger:
I would like to convey to all of
you here at WSMR on beh2lf of
myself, my wife Edde and sons
Mike and David a heartfelt and
sincere thank you.
On 8 September 1971 at
William Beaumont General
Hospital I underwent brain
surgery. Surgery which nearly
assigned me to the hereafter.
Many things attributed to my
miraculous recovery . One, the
tremendous ability and skill of
the surgeon, Colonel Claude
McClure. and the medical staff
at WBGH . Second, at a time
when absoJute peace of mind
and freedom from worries
about my family's welfare was
needed to instill in me the will
to survive and continue to live,
it was there. It was as though a
contingency plan had been
formulated for such an oc currence. It came immediately , without hesitation ,
in fact automatically.
Major General deSaussure
and his staff . LTC Slaughter
and his staff assured my wife
they were ready to help at any
time , should she need
anything. Our friend Mrs .
Darlene Smith, wife of CPT
Harry Smith, immediately
assumed the responsibility of
caring for my sons, so my wife
could devote her time to me at
the hospital. And then my
dearest and closest friends,
SFC Adam H. Kalt and Mrs.
Kalt, devoted every minute of
time they could spare, and then
some, to insure that my wife
ha<! anything she needed to
carry her through those dif-
ficult times.
Every time I opened my.
eyes , day or night, there wa'!f
my wife at my bedside. And all
those people offering their
support and assistance, unselfishly
and
without
hesitation. There is no doubt in
my mind, and my wife's, why I
made it.
The words, "The Army takes
care of its own ," never rang
truer than they did here at
White Sands Missile Ran~e
then. And if it should not be so
anywhere else in the world, I'm
sure it will always be so here.
To all of you here a t Whit
Sands I say. Thank you! And
may God bless you .

In keeping with our past
articles on what goes on, and
why, within Procurement, a
look into the Contract Administration Branch (LG-PA)
is in order. A familiar
quotation among procurement
people is, "Once the contract is
awarded, you just have to live
with it." This is true to a
e certain extent. We live with our
husbands and wives, but after
some time has gone by, most of
us can recognize changes that
both have made.
So it is with the Government
and the Contractor. In order to
have a harmonious relationship, each must be willing to
change where and when
'necessary. Of course, these
changes must be made within
the restrictions of the contract
or they may result in a breach
of contract, waiver of rights for
• one party or the other, or be
determined by judicial action
as binding, whether or not
spelled out by the contract.
This is where the Contract
Administrator's role becomes
one of major importance in the
procurement process.
· It has been my observation
• qver the years that our
• Engineer-Technical personnel
are more directly involved and
• concerned in the pre-award
~. and administration phases of
procurement than in the actual
• • placement of the contract. This
is not to say they are not interested in the contract
•' placement, but this is more of a
•, "never-never land" of ap• provals, regulations and
' procedures peculiar to con; tract specialists. During pre: award, the Engineer is
:· thinking in terms of what kind
,.. of "black box" he wants and
· what he wants it to do. After
:· award, he thinks in terms of
: when he can get his hands on
' that little "black box" and find
• out whether it will really do the
,iob and meet the Government's
requirements.
The
Contract
Administrator's job description
says something like " ... performs full range of contract
administration .... " This covers
such a broad range of duties
that it would be impractical to
attempt a detailed description
of any of them.
In general, the Contract
Administrator is the gobetween for the technical
community, the Contractor
and the Contracting Officer in
maintaining the established
delivery schedule, since, after
all, delivery of the material or
service is the name of the
game. Within this general area
of responsibility fall the
definitive duties of negotiation
of modifications, processing of
different types of payment
procedures, and in the event a
dispute arises which cannot be
resolved at the Contracting
Officer level, processing of
claims, protests and appeals.
The Contract Administrator,
along with the Engineer and
the Contracting Officer, must
be able to defend the Government's position before the
Armed Services Board of
Contract
Appeals
when
necessary, and in the event the
ruling is in favor of the Contractor, must make recommendations to the Contracting
Officer for settlement of any
claims remanded to him for
further action.
The important thing to
remember when thinking in
terms of contracts is that the
Contract Administration
Branch is the channel from the
Engineer to the Contractor,
and the
Contract Administrator is the person
responsible for assuring that
our procedures are correct and
that we do not get into wrong
"side channels" which can
lead to such things as constructive
changes
and
disputes.

il!]Q]lYJ~lIJ~l
A
A
young people, would not use
marijuana even if it were legal.
That is one of the conclusions
of a recently conducted survey
of Americans in all walks of life
by the National Commission of
Marijuana and Drug Abuse.
The commission, appointed by
President Nixon to report on
marijuana and drug abuse,
also found out that drugs are
the third most expressed
concern as a national problem
by Americans.
These facts, and others
equally interesting, were
contained in a release on the
commission's survey, and the
commission soon will issue a
complete report on marijuana
use in the United States. The
survey showed that approximately
24
million
Americans
have
used
marijuana at one time or
another , but that after age 25
use falls off rapidly.
According to the survey, the
biggest single reason for
discontinuing the use of
m:iriiuana was loss of interest.
Another fact which came to
light through the survey was
that there is much uncertainty
about the effects of marijuana
and that many of the younger
people no longer know what to
believe. Many young people
believe marijuana causes
death; others believe it is
physically addicting . One in
seven of the 12-17 year-olds did
not think that marijuana
possession was illegal.
When asked how society
should handle the marijuana
issue , 52 per cent of the adults
News-Texas, Los Angeles
aNow LAS CRUCES NEWS at 8P.M.
surveyed said they favored a
non-legal approach. The views
of young people in the 12-17
year-old group were much like
those of the adults in this
matter.
Both youngsters and adults
preferred schools as the source
of general information about
marijuana . In comparing
alcohol and marijuana, many
believed that alcohol was more
addictive than marijuana .
One of the key findings in the
survey was that marijuana
may be more important as an
issue than a substance. "There
is an observable disparity,"
the survey said, "in our data
between the concept of
marijuana and the result of
experience with it. The typical
behavior pattern is to try it and
find that one loses interest in it.
Of tryers who have become
users by their own definition,
use is far more likely to be
occasional than steady, and
infrequent
rather
than
frequent .''
However, of those questioned
who had never used it, 81
percent of the adults and 73 per
cent of the youth said that they
would never use it in the future.

WASHINGTON <ANF l
Secretary of the Army Robert
F. Froehlke has announced
that the Army will offer its
college-level Reserve Officers'
Training Corps program to
women beginning with the 197273 academic year.
A test program will begin
this fall with women enrolling
at approximatel y 10 institutions currently offering
the four-year program.
The institut ions to offer the
women 's ROTC Training have
not yet been determined.
Schools which have offered
ROTC courses to women on an
elective basis would probably
be among those most interested .
Although women
were
previously not permitted to
receive a commission through
the Army ROTC , about 160
women students at 49 ins t itut ions are now taking
elective ROTC courses .
New economy transpacific and transatlantic military and
dependent fares were announced this week by Don Long ,

for Dry Site) has developed a
taste for dry dog food, scrap
bones and even canned dog
food, claims Mr. Tidmore. "Jig
56 doesn't care too much for
bread and lunch scraps
anymore. He's getting to be a
finicky eater."
The rabbits that feed near
Dry Site arrive early in the
morning or late in the evening
when the coyotes have cleared
the area . The roadrunner
remains in the immediate area
all day.
Mr. Tidmore notes that the
abundance of quail is the result
of two successful hatchings last
year.
"With two successful hatchings the original two coveys
are now about eight coveys and
70 birds," Mr. Tidmore says.
"The extremely dry season
last year was probably
responsible for the two hatches."
Getting the animals and
birds fed each day is becoming
a problem, Mr. Tidmore admits. "We carry some pretty
weird lunches to work now. If
some stranger ever grabs one
of our lunch buckets by
mistake, can you imagine his
surprise? We carry dog
biscuits, bones, canned dog
food and bird seed to work each
day."
Mr. Tidmore says that the
crew has no intentions of
taming the animals and birds
that daily visit Dry Site. "They
are wild animals and birds and
we want them to remain wild."
Mr. Tidmore says. "We're just
giving mother nature a helping
hand with her logistics."
The Dry Site crew that is
currently "giving mother
nature a hand" includes Dave
Johns,
Willie
Montano,
Richard Larsen and Tidmore.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has eliminated
the former
2-cents-perdeduction service charge for
the withholding of charity
contributions through payroll
deduction. This action will
provide approximately onehalf million additional dollars
annually
to
voluntary
organizations.
Federal civil servants and
military personnel gave a
record $42 million to charitable
and voluntary organizations

Combined Federal Campaigns were held in 462 different locations last fall,
covering nearly all Federal

in the United States.
"The results of these cam paigns reflect the continuing
generosity of. Federal em ployes, and their concern for
their fellow man," CSC
chairman Robert E. Hampton
said.
"Federal civilian and
military personnel are closely
involved in the activities of
their communities, and they
assist in the work of voluntary
organizations not only by
contributions of money but also
by their service as volunteers," he added.
Combined Federal Campaigns include the individual
