It Is ,i “go” signal for stupid
and wild driving. A large seg-
ment of what «v like to think
of as civil i/a* 1 A' erica gets out
on our highways to see hovr
quickly the;, coii-comm It Suicide
and. or murder. If they cannot
kill, they w 111 settle for main red
bodies, spirits and minds.
The great tragedy Is the in-
nocent adults and children who
will staffer through ”>t efforts
of the moronic drive,- . If these
nuts would confine the killing or
Injuries to themselves, the hor-
ror and sorrow would be some-
what localized. Regretably, lu-
natic drivers are never consi-
derate.
What can you do about these
highway killers? The first and
most Important thing Is to be
able to recognize them.
Let's put them in the Une-up:
The first one to step forward Is:
“Demon Dan,” atlas “Heavy
Foot Freddy.” This guy tells you
he can get any place faster than
anyone else — regardless of the
weather of road and traffic con-
ditions. He wtll weave In and
out of traffic, puss on hills and
curves, and always try to beat
Changing signal lights. He does
this, of course, to prove Ms
point, and he usually does get
there lister than anyone —
iven L* t kills him, liter ally.
Next, ■ . tiuie “GuSzllng Cus.”
He Ora* ;hat tv* cai lrtv* bet-
ter whe he ’us “a few shots
>f loozi ' He adds that lie is
more al* rt, c-ireful and ■'harp-
er too. Oil .us, how-e.ver, usual-
ly Is th« first one to b< blind—
et! by one tug headlights; the
first t-> n ts.udge a curve, a:ul
the first t alibi, ift*r an ac-
cident, tlu: he innocent —
“only had a couple of beers."
1 Liully, we have “!llg Tline
! Dm.” Thi.' character, when not
driving, tn.i■ be polite, quiet
and seemingly int«-'.agent. Then
let him get sihlnd the wheel of
a car He lr> ■ *-livtely ts trans-
formed Inti a utmostlous road
menace. H< hates to be passed
by any car; tie borders on
apoplexy U .other Car shows
taster plak-ua apaed and he wtll
then Challenge them.
He feels .hi* greatest — if he
can spit his rear t(res w ith a
loud an»‘ resounding sipieal that
attracts everyone’s attention —
he feels like a king’ We tend
to pity these “Big Tine” kld-
dles, but v# should not. They
Can cans, teath as quick!) as a

There are many other tyjw-sof

The important role played by th* U S Army in the de-
velopment and westward expansion of this country vs an
old story Early ui our national history the Army Corps of
Engineers was given a civil as wrl as a military function
because it had the only trained engineers avaiiab’e to the
Federal Government for such p , j|ic works as surveying
and mapping, locating routes : »r, and superintending
the building of roads and cam:*.
Sirmlaily, tn many of the h > developed countries to-
day, the military forces con.sti’.i.te the only organization
at hand capable of .providing he skills and. the ad:
mirustrative and logistical ability to accomplish such
needed tasks as building fani-to-m*rket roads and
schools improving the wrativ ■ apply and teaching sani-
tation and basic skills to the ingal ciluens
Bv contributing to the sor.tl and economic develop-
ment of the people. » country’ll aimed forces not only
help to strengthen the country but alvr help to create
closer ties between the military and civilians and thus
between the people and thru government
Whlie the Idea is old. a new Mmrnsion has been added
to military civic action tod.i\ as a weapon against Com-
munist-Inspired subversion it Is considered as both a
preventive measure and as a technique of guerrilla war-
fare and counter-maurgency jn this aspect, the aim ol
civic action Is to counter subversive propaganda and
presaure ’ay winning the pcoplf to the side of the govern-
ment and Its armed forces and by depriving insurgents
of their base of support In the eountrvs.de
Civic action is not a substitute for military power, but
It Is an Integral element of it. As the interdependence of
civil and military matters lalpMaaingly recognised, the
social and economic welfare of the people can no longer
ba considered a non-mllitaff concern. < AVFi

American sailor and Navy like »
Mom sailors of that day Came
from sailing towns like Mvstlc,
Conn., or Marblehead, Mass.
The merchant marine was rival-
ing th< tamed EnglDh merchant
fleet in commerce and Ameri-
cans were among the best sail-
ors In the world.
When war begat;, President
Lincoln declared a blockade of
all SCutf ern ports. The Navy had
three serviceabk ships around
the (fgfird States. The rest were
In South America, Africa or the
Far East.
Many so Jlhern officer a handed

.the fledgling Confederate Navy,

of resignation, were put on Im-
press.* 1 ferryboats, barges and
pleasure yachts, and rushed to
positions near southern ports.
The biggest problem facing the
Navy Department, however,was
not the lack of Ships but sail-
ors. The Army was grabbtng
all the headlines and popularity,
leaving the monotony of sea duty
to the Navy. Men were jolting
tot the Urge bounties offered
by states and Fevleral govern-
ment tor shore duty but the Navy
offered very little flscal en-
c. u rage meat to prospective
,oineee.
Another problem for officers
was the system of promotion.
Promotions were handed out
vJely on the system of senior-
ity and many promising young
ffleers stayed In low ranks
for years. When they finally
node rank they were unused to
large responsibilities.
ThD problem was rectified in
the first ooupte of years of war.
Mandatory retirement at 82, or
oiler 45 years of service, wa*
established. Hoards of exami-

A company of marines Joined

The Co«Jederates, as well, had
a small Marine Corps, which
also saw only guard duty. A
Navy Academy, complete with
training ship, was established
by the Confederate*. The mid-
shipmen were the Us; to leave

It consisted, for the most part,
of salt meat and hardtack. Fresh
vegetables wrr# generally un-

to ward off scurvy.
Sailors over 21 were given a
dally half-pint of wine or a quar-
ter of a pint of spirits. In 1862,
however, this comfort »as
halted by an Act of Congress
which said, “The spirit ration
in the Nary of the United states
shall forever cease.”
One w.iy sailors were envied
by soldiers was in thetr uni-
form. While saddlers sweated
in their heavy wool uniforms In
the summers, sailors wore
while, duck cotton ones, offi-

pistols, while their shore-bound
