Soldiers Receive
Freak Contact On
Cheap Radio Sets

Highpriced experts are trying to
explain what happened to some
lowly soldiers at the Antiaircraft
Artillery and Guided Missile Cen
ter here.
Corporal Richard c. Thurman of
GO11 Phillips ST. MissouIa, Mont,
radio section chief, and members
of his crew of the 59th AAA Bat
talon recently established radio
contact with the Combined Field
Maintenance Signal Repair Shop
in Rhode Island-2200 miles away
Now this isn't impossible with
today's modern radio equipment,
but it is unusual when both units
read loud and clear" on sets de-
signed for a maximum distance of
from Is to 30 miles.
The freak contact was establish
ed when the battalion was in the
field and trying to tie up its net
work with other units at the Fort
Bliss range.
I'VE heard another set on our
frequency. They were using differ
ent call letters and I just about
told them to get off the air" says
Thurman. Then I asked them if
they were a military station. They
said yes and l asked their loca-
ton.
Then came the shock"
A telegram sent to Fort Bliss
from the Providence unit confirm
ed the contact.
Captain Paul J. Reioux of 4615
Kensington Drive, San Diego
Calf, battalion communications
officer, thinks it may be due to sur
spot activity and that contact with
the Rhode Island station might be
possible off and on for possibly
another year"

Salt Used Durinq
Shows May Prove
Harmful To Trees

Chemical "de-icing" of sidewalks
and driVeWays should be taken
with little better than a few grains
of salt.
In effect, this is the advice of
Homer L. Jacobs, research direc-
tor Of a tree specialist firm, who
warns that common salt and other
melting chemicals be used sparing-
ly and not too frequently.
For salt, sodium chloride, and
calcium chloride, both commonly
used, may not only remove snow
and ice, but part of the landscap-
ing as we'll Such chemicals are al
so herbicides often recommended
for certain weeds. This means re-
peatCd dOsages washed into tree or
shrub root systems near drives or
sidewalks can spell harm to favor
ite paintings.
No damage will be done if the
salt or other melting agents are
sprinkled lightly and at judicious
intervals. Tree doctors say they
are called upon to diagnose arbo-
real ills during the growing sea-
son that often trace back to the
use Of strong concentrations of
Winter chemicals,
Around areas where chemical
contamination of nearby tree roots
is likely, liberal use of sand, cind-
ers or the snow shovel is recon-
mended over chemicals.
House taps usually produce wat
er with temperatures about 40 de-
grees. If the outside temperature
is above freezing, it may be good
strategy to melt and flush off
walks and garage ramps with the
garden hose. Follow up with a thor
ough sweeping of the paved areas
to prevent formation of new ice
Most big problems will solve
themselves if every individual
works to solve the little ones.

The average individual is not
physiOlOgically equipped with ade-
quate cortico-spinal reflex respons-
es necessary for the operation of
our modern, sensitive vehicles, es-
pecially under emergency circum-
stances" says DR.. Emil Seletz, of
the University of California School
of Medicine.
What DR.. Seletz means is that
the average human isn't physically
equipped to drive the present-day
automobile, for the modern car is
faster than the hand and eye Of
the human who drives it.
The point is that man is develop
ing the automobile faster than his
own refleXeS are improving and
even faster than new highways
can be built to meet the standards
of higher horsepower.
The evolution Of mans reflexes
is pretty we'll out of our hands.
Major highway programs are now
underway and are progressing
with speed. But the network of sec
ondary roads, those roads most
used by all Americans-with their
slow cortico-Spinal refleXes - are
oVershadowed by horsepower and
talk of new turnpikes.
We can't make fOur-lane high
ways out of these roads; it just
isn't physically or financially feas-
ible. But we can make sure they
are in good repair, properly signed
for day and night driving and with
speed limits that really fit driving
conditions. 1t is just as important
that the speed limit be set high
enough to conform to road use as
it is that the speed limit be set low
enough to satisfy safe driving re-
quirements. Signs and hazard mar
kers should be the kind that can
be seen at night, when driving is
much more dangerous.
If you live in a rural area, make
sure the laws requiring fence rows
to be cut back are properly en-
forced to insure drivers the best
visibility possible. Help your local
road commissioner in their efforts
to raise the safety standards of the
existing roads we all need so much
right now.
Remember, the roads in your
area are essential to your driving
The superhighways of tomorrow
won't meet your needs of today
or save your life for future driving
on new roads. It's up to us to helT
bring the roads we have up to {
safe level.
