Orientation under bivouac condi-
tions was carried on by both battal-
ions of the 1316th Engr. (GS) Regt.
last week. Emphasis was placed upon
the interrelated objectives = Know
Your Allies, Know the Enemy, and
Know the News and It's Significance"
The progress of the invasion and news
from the Pacific theaters were the
chief topics of discussion.
Officers who have conducted Orien-
tation under bivouac conditions be-
lieve that some change in the size of
orientation materials should be eff
fected. The large Newsmap while
unsurpassed for use in day rooms and
similar setups. is far from ideal for
groups in the field.

Everyone Should See
Soldier Art Exhibit
At Service Club No. l

All personnel of the Post, en-
lister, commissioned, and civili-
ans, alike, should see the unusual
exhibit of G. I. art, now on dis
play at the Service Club No. L
as part of the clubs third an
niversary observance.
The exhibit, which was planned
by Cpl. Camille DraytOn, WAC
Section, Sou 1922, and spon-
sored by Mrs. Mary M. Carter,
principal hostess of the club, has
already drawn expressions of
amazement and admiration from
scores of persons. 1t is hoped
that before the display is re-
moved practically all personnel
of the Post will have viewed the
art effort of Fort Huachuca SOL
diers. Paintings in oil, water coll
or and a variety of other media
as well as pen-and ink and char
coal sketches, and photographs
are included.

Guidance as 1t Relates To
Morale Services

The varicolored push pins" or
guide pins. used on display maps are
not there to embellish but to visuaIIy
chart some definite objective, attained
or approXimating attainment. The
eyes and mind of the observer are
brought into constant focus upon the
essential Time is saved. Waste
through trial and error eliminated, so
that we go direct to our objective
That, in nutshell, is the true value of
guidance.
Apply this same functional aspect to
morale services. The adage train a
Child in the way he should go'', with
but slight modification, is likewise
applicable to the soldier-in the MAX
ing. The transition from civilian
life to the Army, even under favorable
conditions, is not an easy attainment,
for, without the proper guidance of Of
ficers and responsible Army person
mel, the enlisted man is a ship without
a compass. He is unable to chart his
course. Does he, for instance, know
about the many services the Army
has devised for his help in the event
of sickness, personal problems, emer
akncies rising from lack of funds to
take care of an assumed obligation,
recreational, educational, and orien
rational problems?
1t is not necessary for the soldier
to waste himself wondering" He
can follow the guide pins" that point
in the direction of these available mo-
rale services.

QUESTION: BOX
Z 2@&

The V.D. Question Box is a con-
test designed for all personnel of
Fort Huachuca = officers, enlisted
men, WACs and civilians. Theatre
tickets, valued at S1.50 each are
awarded weekly for the most in
formative questions asked and
answered. Questions may be sub
mitted to the v. ID. Control Of
ficer, Capt. j. ]. GoldSberry, or
to the office of the Apache Sem
tinel. No more than five awards
will be made during one week.
1. Why are SO many soldiers in
fected with venereal disease while
on furlough?
Answer: The answer to this ques-
ton may not be as apparent as it
seems. There is probably more than
one reason. First of all the soldiers
defenses are lowered and he is open
to any form of fun" while away
from camp. Secondly, the cities and
towns that a soldier may visit are
filled with prostitutes, street-walkerS
pick-ups, and good-time girls who
prey upon just such men as these.
AS you know these women are so to
80 per cent infected with venereal
diseases. We have been getting SO
many furlough cases, in spite of the
very thorough furlough program that
we have at this Post, that we can
not help but conclude that there
are certain men who refuse to be
taught. We find, usually, that these
men even refuse to learn after hav-
ing contracted one of the venereal
diseases.
2. Why is it so important to get
the name of the person with whom
one has had an exposure?
Answer: This is a question which
few soldiers seem able to answer.
There is a popular misconception
that the Venereal Disease Control
Office seeks the name of the person
so that the person may be put in
jail Or prosecuted in some manner.
The primary reason for securing
this information is to have the per-
son contacted and examined. If he
or she is found to be infected then
adequate treatment will be given so
that another person will be saved
from a similar infection.
Only in the case of prostitutes
and others who depend upon such
measures as means of livelihood
is the name and other information
used primarily for the purpose of
prosecution. The sooner this infor-
nation is understood by each SOL
dier and he discontinues the prac-
tice of concealing the girls name
who infected him, the sooner we
will be able to control the prevalence
of Venereal disease.
8. Why are Venereal Diseases al
ways said to be acquired through
misconduct?
Answer: This is another pop
ular misconception in the Army. Al
though venereal diseases are usually
considered to have been contracted
through misconduct it is incorrect
to say that they always are. thus
acquired Cases of venereal dis
ease acquired innocently are those
which a man contracts from his
wife or the wife from the husband.
The burden of proof, however, lies
upon the man to prove that his
wife was the source of infection.
This is usually long drawn out
procedure which is difficult to prove
and often leads to the divorce courts.

Med. Det. Orientation Notes

During the past week members of
the Medical Detachment went to see
the film, 'The Battle of China" The
picture gave us the information about
both our ally, China, and our enemy,
japan. Detachment enlisted men have
the following to say about the film:
From this picture the necessity OF
intense training was noted by all
present. The Japs are skilled in the
art of hand to hand combat; they are
cunning and treacherous. Should 1t
be the fate of any of us to meet them
in combat-let's know what to do!

Gated in the art of culture and fine

should be given the credit for her out

Infantile Paralysis Outbreak
Expected To Decline In Aug.

DR.. C. P. Stevick, epidemiologist
with the State Health Depart
ment, in Raleigh, said this week
he believed the current outbreak
of infantile paralysis would reach
its peak this month and show a
considerable decline during Au-
gust.
The new cases were listed Mon
day as follows: Alamance 2,
Ashe l, Catawba l, Durham 2,
Forsyth 2, Guilford 2, Haywood
l, Mcdowell 2, Mecklenburg 3,
Wayne l, and Wilkes l, bringing
the total since June l to 1856.
DR.. Stevick pointed out that in
1885 a total of 675 cases were re-
ported, most of them during the
months of June, July and August.
The peak month was July, and
