Dear Friends:
MY! What a week this has been.
1t seems all weeks now are full
of activities and I have so much to
tell you in each letter. Hope you've
been having fun this week too.
Let me tell you what made ours
extra special.
Tuesday morning my husband,
Hayes, and his pilot, Don E. Miller,
were requested to appear in the
55th Wing Commanding Officers
office. There Colonel Wilcox be-
gan talking to the eight officers
before him by saying, Usually
you men are brought here to be
'raked over the carpet but today
this is a different occasion. You
men have been given Spot Promo
tions."
Those of you who keep up with
SAC (Strategic Air Command) are
familiar with Spots, but I am sure
the majority of you who read this
do not know the exact significance
of such a promotion. AS you know
we in the service do move lot,
our homes are often inferior, rents
exorbitant, and frequently we are
separated from our husbands who
go on missions which take them
away from us for varying periods
of over night to many months. A
Spot Promotion is SAC's way of
compensating for such unpleasant
tries. Hayes received a promotion
from Captain to Major which
meant boost in pay and a change
from two silver parallel bars on
his shoulder loop or epaulet to a
gold leaf Looks pretty nice! In
order to keep a spot promotion,
one must be able to do more than
be able to take the plane of, and
be able to find you way back to
the base. You must keep your
proficiency up in all your SAC re-
quirements. The promotions are
fun to get, but hard to keep. All
crews are striving for them, COM
petition abounds and one faux pas
and you lose your spot and an
other crew happily picks it up.
It's rough.
l had my bridge club Tuesday
afternoon and all the members
knew about our newest excite
ment and it was fun being with the
girls on this big day.
| had Dawn's Brownie troop this
week, since the troop leader was
sick. Dawn is the only Air Force
fledging in the group and thought
maybe the rest of the children
would enjoy touring Forbes Air
Force Base. They always love
trips. l showed them the jet bonn

commissary, base exchange like a
drug store), the library, the Forbes
University where the AT trainers
are, the chapels, the kennels where
the German Shepherd sentry dogs
are kept ard then we went to the
Of1cer's Club for Shirley Temple.
(Ginger ale with extra fiavoring
and fruit. The mothers of the
troop told me later that the part
OF the whole tour of Forbes Air
Force Base that impressed these
seven-year-old little girls the most
was the Ladies Powder Room at
the club. They loved the dressing
tables. full length mirrors, Kleen-
ex boxes, colorful draperies. etc.
Saturday evening of this week.
Don and Hayes had a promotion
party at the club and invited ALI
the squadron to attend with a few
additional guests. The flowers. re-
freshments and table were all ar
ranged by the club. The only ef-
fort l put into the party was max
ing a Mexican cheese dip that
seems to be a favorite with most
Air Force people. Must send it to
YOU some time. Our party was
from 7 to 9 and at $3.50 another
squadron put on a skit in the main
ballroom SO we all ended the eve
ming watching it.
Last night, Sunday, one of our
neighbors had invited us over for
a Farewell-Dessert party. There
are six families in the neighbor-
hood who get together on birth
days. have garden picnics togeth-
er, etc. We thought it was so nice
of them to have this get together to
say goodbye to us before we NOV
ed into our new home, but almost
fell out of our chairs when they
presented us with a gift, too. For
whole week the five girls have
been painting, and gluing sequins,
pearls, rhinestones and colorful felt
pieces to our new GARBAGE can.
They painted this IL inch high
garbage can gold inside and out
then they put their artistic talents
to work. Pink rickrack border on
bottom, black wavy paint border
at the top and every color in be-
tween-sequins, beads, pearls and
felt cloth all glued on the sides.
The lid is masterpiece with many
strings of beads and loose beads
done in different designs. A string
of pearls runs all the way across
the lid, and underneath the handle.
The handle not only is painted
gold, but red cherries are fastened
to it with pink glittering leaves
under the berries. Talk about a
magazine bucket that's a CONVEX
sation piece-I have one.
Until next weeks,
Always,

Forgotten-The Sitting Duck

Forgotten The Sitting Duck
Higher speed limits-up to 20
mph in Kansas, Missouri and New
Mexico-have been enacted by vari-
Gus state legislatures during the
1857 sessions Doubtless this is a
result of widely improved and safer
highways, since in many cases
limits vary with different types of
roads. 1t may also portend a gen
orally tougher enforcement policy
across the nation.
But, whether for better or, worse,
one problem at least becomes more
acute. This is the hazard of the
sitting duck, the car, truck or
bus standing disabled on the trav-
el1ed highway. A menace to traf-
fic in broad daylight, such an OBJ
struction becomes a death-trap af-
ter dark-unless it is clearly distin-
guishable from a distance as sta
tionary. In a single year more than
1,200 lives have been snuffed out
and over 100000 injured in these
sitting duck collisions.
Most discouraging is the fact that
every passenger car built in recent
years and most of the trucks in the
nation carry the basic equipment to-
provide effective warning at a half
lion vehicles have been adapted to
give this protection All that is
needed is an auxiliary switch and
wiring that will permit the four
turn signals to flash simultaneously
at the flick of a finger.
This secondary use of the turn
signal system for disablement flares
is recommended by the American
Trucking Association for all COM
mercial vehicles. Specifications for
this application for all vehicles
have long been part of the Uni
Traffic Code. But nowhere, in no
single state do the rules-of-the-
road require such protection, even
though its desirability has been
recognized throughout the country
for years.
1t would therefor appear that
legislatures that have merely raised
speed limits and called it day
have neglected an important part

believe that better roads will mean
fewer sitting ducks. But there is
every reason to expect that higher
speeds will give moving traffic still
less opportunity to avoid such OBJ
structions so long as they remain
indistinguishable at a distance. More
and bigger crashes from this one
cause would seem inevitable until
such time as these effective dis
ablement flares become mandatory.
That sitting ducks must mean still
more blood on the pavement is
technologicaIly unnecessary, but
circumstantially inevitable.

FALL WEATHER


After the hot summer, it is always nice
to feel the effects of the first cooler days, the
coming of autumn To our way of thinking,
autumn is the prettiest season of the year,
and best weather, and the most nostalgia Of
all the seasons.
1t is the time of years when the crops are
over, the nights are getting longer, the wea-
ther cooler and growing things are dying, or
about to die, as winter approaches. 1t is the
time of football and hunting-two of Ameri-
cas- favorite sports.
Fall comes in this year on the 23rd day
of September and fall is really the last season
of the year. We only have about ten days
of winter before New Years Day.
One might say, then, that the year begins
with winter, followed by spring, summer and
fall, the last season.
We suggest to all those in this community
who are physically able to do so that they take
advantage of the beautiful fall weather this
year, take to the woods and fields for a hike
occasionally, and generally take in the sweep
ing beauty that will be Natures gala pro-
duction, especially in October and November.
Such an outing will invigorate the mind.

is productive; and that, in spite of
the Presidents desire to broaden
the discussion to cover problems
of school integration" the con-
ferees bear down on the subject
urged by the Governors Confer
ence, withdrawal of Federal troops
from Arkansas at the earliest poss-
ible moment.
Whether or not President Eisen-
hover acted within the law in
sending regulars into Little Rock
to enforce integration at Central
High School, will doubtless be ar
gued at great length by sundry
authorities. But the fact of the
paratroOpers' presence, which Gov
ernor Faubus called "the military
occupation of Arkansas, the fact
of their herding school-children
with naked bayonets, and with what
Senator Richard B. Russell has
called 'Hitler-like conduct, super
sedes theories of Constitutional law
to compound an error that can
not be soon erased. Yet it is only
one of a series of errors that began
with a Federal reversion to the
spirit of the reconstruction days in
sending northern judge to rule
on the most explosive problem of
our time.
There is at least the suspicion
that Washington may be coming
to a realization of its error in the
announcement of Army Secretary
Brucker that he had revoked orders
to commanders in Atlanta and San
Antonio for riot-training of their
troops.
1t is all very well to affirm pious-
ly that there must be a law or
there will be anarchy. But where
Interpretation of the law causes

in Little Rock. But bayonets do not
help.

replied: Indefinitely. We stayed in

Washington Letter = By Robert Nelson Taylor

called Land of the Free and Home
of the Brave, the latest gimmick
of organized Labor is to permit
workers who do not wish to join
unins to merely pay dues.
The theory is that since such
workers will enjoy advantages the
unions have fought for through
the years, they shuld contribute
toward union support whether
they believe in unionism or not.
To the unthinking, this position
may appear just and logical. All
that is wrong with it is that the
unions would continue to fatten
on the toll of all who work in the
areas they have staked out. for
themselves; those opposed would
contribute to growing union pow
er in the same measure as loyal
members; and the Right-to-Work
principle, even though established
by law, would be nullified in prac-
tise.
Under such an arrangement, a
non-union worker would still be
pressured into paying tribute to
union for the privilege work.
ing-in this case for trying to
assert a freedom that he obviously
would not have.
If this theory is right, a newly
fledged union member should pay
back-dues for all the years his
union may have been struggling
for the wages and benefits he
now enjoys-perhaps since be-
fore he was born Or a bricklayer
(for instance) should perhaps
make a contribution to the archi-
tect who decided on brick instead
of something else for the building
he is working on, to the brickyard
and to the people whose lime and
sand provide him with mortar If
this theory is right, the teacher
who is voted a raise should bring
apples to the kids-instead of vice
versa.
Such a proposal is, purely and
simply, a shake-down to provide
unions with funds to fight Right
to-Work laws. And this in turn
suggests that any organization that
can maintain it's position only
through fear and force has out
lived it's usefulness.
Powerful and rich as they are,
the unions should stop and re-
fleet that the greatness of the
labor movement stems from mem
bers who considered it a privilege
to extraordinarily. Union, Off
cials must revive this sentiment in
the hearts of workers if organized
labor is to live. IT will not be
done by taxing those who want no
part of uniOnism.
Milford chronicle., 1957-10-25
THE FAMILY FARM

Ever since the founding of the Republic,
one of the basic units in American life has
been the family farm. The fact that most of
the nations farms are still of this type in
our electrOnic age is measure of the family
farm systems enduring values. 1t is an in
stitution that we should not lightly give up.
An excellent summary of the reasons for
clinging to family farming as a way of life
appears in report on the subject just is
sued by the agriculture committee of the
National Planning Association. "In terms of
economic performance, equality of Oppor-
tunity, and social values" the report says,
"we believe the family farm represents the
most desirable norm of organization for
American agriculture"
The family farm is threatened first, by
the fact that more and more families cannot
make a reasonably good living from their
farms, and second, by the growing concen-
tration Of land and capital. These two fac
tors are related. Scientifically managed cor
porate farms, many times bigger than family
farms, can offer extremely tough and some
times fatal competition to Individual farm
erS.
1t is often argued that if the little farmer
can't compete he should get out of the bust
ness, that if large scale enterprise with out
side capital are the most efficient way to pro-
duce farm products then the family farm had
best be allowed to fall by the wayside. The
matter is not quite that simple. If the same
cold-blooded argument was generally applied,
various groups of Americans would suffer.
Family farming must be weighed not
alone for it's efficiency as producer of farm
products, but also for its contribution to
what we still can refer to proudly as the
American way Of life. Judged by that stand
ard of values, the family farm measures up
well as an institution that ought to be pre-
served and strengthened.
