Tests Will
Light Sky
A test slated to run from Thursday until
April 7 at the West Ft. Hood area (formery Kil-
leen Base) could turn a dark into an almost
bright day.
But say Fort Hood authorities it's not the
world coming to an end. Neither are the Martians
landing. It is only a series of tests being conducted
at Project MASSTER.
The sky will glow every 10 minutes for ap
proximately three minutes every night all night
long. The device being used to cause this will be
an airborne searchlight a light with the bright
ness of 1.9 million candlepower.
The lights will be mounted on helicopters
and will be turned on at altitudes of from 2500
to 10000 feet.
According to Maj. Raymond G. Andrews at
Project MASSTER there is absolutely no danger
involved. However Andrews cautions advisers
not to stare directly into the light as this might
cause some discomfort as would staring into the
sun or at the arc of a welder.
The schedule for lighting the sky although
scheduled for Thursday the first time March
16 the second time and every night thereafter is
subject to change.
Another part of the test which should be
noted is an experiment to be held over Belton
Lake. On either March 26 or 27 the lights will
be turned on to test the reflective characteristics
over water.
The weather which directly affects the heli
copters' ability to fly will determine whether or
not the tests will be conducted as planned.

literally being eaten away by the millions of new
mouths to feed each year.
The lack of competent medical family plan
ning care is responsible here just as abroad for
vast numbers of children who are poor sickly
undernourished and uneducated.
In recent years many governments have
finally accepted the urgent need for family plan
ning. Stimulated by Planned Parenthood the
United States has included voluntary birth control
in its foreign aid programs and in health welfare
and antipoverty efforts at home. In addition some
form of official family planning aid is now being
offered by 75 other nations.
But such programs are only a beginning. Over
half a billion persons live in countries where not
even the first step has been taken to provide
family planning assistance. In the U.S. of the
five million poor women who want and need birth
control help less than 15 per cent are receiving
it.
In the developing countries there are some
350 rpillion fertile women who are deprived of
the family planning assistance that they want.
As a result they are having at least 30 million
unwanted babies very year and probably one-half
as many illegal often self-induced abortions with
a high tool of mothers' lives and health.
Planned Parenthood has been working for
over 50 years to bring help to people everywhere
in the world. Along with these efforts Planned
Parenthood promotes training education and
research to increase the availability of still cheaper
and more effective contraceptive methods.
It continues to perform one of the major
roles of the voluntary private agency by prodding
government to assume its full share of
responsibility in extending family planning
assistance.
Through the Planned Parenthood World
Population birth control efforts are assisted in
more than 100 countries. The training programs
in Asia Africa and Latin America are helping
to meet the critical need for more medical and
health personnel.
The modern consensus now is that a "world
of wanted children" is no longer a dream but
a goal well within the reach of people of goodwill.
Help PPWP achieve this goal for all people by
giving to the NHA-ISA joint fund-raising cam
paign.
LESSON

been written without an au-
dience in mind. In the Ft.
Hood production with much of
the viewing area actually
elevated above the stage area
it is easy to become a spec
tator rather than a member
of an audience waiting to be
entertained.
Director Jerry Rogers
moreover does not appear to
have been overly concerned
with having his characters
play to the audience. There
is none of the awkward rota
tion and revolution which is
sometimes so distracting but
which soime directors seem to
feel is necessary when doing
a play in the round.
Rather Rogers lets his
characters play against each
other and the effect is ge
nuine.
Much of the play's success
of course must be attributed
to the Ionesco script. At
times the dialogue borders on
the absurd but Rogers warns
against labeling the play as
"theater of the. ."
The playwright calls the
work a comic-drama—perhaps
it would be advisable to add
the adjective "mature"—-and
indeed there are times when
it becomes difficult to be cer
tain whether it would be in
good taste to laugh at an
obviously humorous line which
encroaches on an increasingly
dramatic situation.
Miss McNamara whose only
prior expedition onto the
theater stage occurred last
September when she appeared
in the Little Theater pro
duction of "My Three Angels"
gracefully handles the
character transition of the
Pupil and exhibits seemingly
authentic pathos without being
annoying.
As the Professor and ex
cepting this inability at age
22 to play a man of years
and experience Strauss offers
a fine performance. His move
ment and' stage presence
seems to come from a natural
talent and it is easy to ima
gine him as being excellent
playing a younger man.
Rosemary Wolthuis as the
Maid seems to have talent
which overflows the limitations
possed by her small role in
"The Lesson.''
As in all Little Theater
productions there is no charge
for "The Lesson." Seating
capacity of the Entertainment
Center is limited however
and reservations are urged to
avoid disapp ointment.
Reservations may be made
by calling 685-4690.
"The Lesson" will be
presented tonight and tomor
row evening at 8 p.m. The
Entertainment Center is
located in Bldg. 3403 near
the intersection of 162nd Street
and Brigade Avenue.

Ft. Hood personnel will be

be counted April 1 during the
1970 decennial census of

serve primarily troops living
in the 2nd Armd. Div. troop
area.
Other pos1 theaters now in
operation include Theater No.
1. located on Headquarters
Avenue near the main post
exchange and Theater No. 3
located near the 1st Armd.
Div. and 13th Spt. Bde. areas.
Both of these facilities have
1000 seats.
Thorp is also a theater with
800 seats which is used by
reservists training at North
Ft. Hood during the summer
months. A smaller 16-mm
theater is open three nights
each week at West Ft. Hood
near Project MASSTER head
quarters.
Long ran?e plans call for
a total of five permanent
theaters at Ft. Hood including
a replacement for theater No.
3.
First priority has been given
to the construction of a
theater in the new 1st Armd.
Div. section near the western
section of the cantonment
area. Troops living in this
area must now travel to
Theater No. 3. Replacement
of Theater No. 3 would follow
construction of this new struc
ture according to current
plans.
Meanwhile in another an
nouncement the Post Ex
change announced that the
new automatic self-service car
wash near the main PX
service station will open
earlier than originally ex

Neely's office is responsible
for conducting the census of
all Ft. Hood housing including
troop barracks enlisted and
officer bachelor quarters and
family residences. Military
personnel residing off-post will
be contacted through civilian
enumerators working out of
the Bureau of the Census
district office in Waco.
According to 1st Lt. C. G.
Spence deputy project officer
several different types of
forms are being used to con
duct the 1970 census. A ma
jority of individuals will be
required to Complete only a
short form asking basic ques

used as a sampling body and
will have more detailed ques

In troop barracks the short

Three census forms are in
use this year for family hous
ing units on post. A majority
of residences will have only
the basic form to complete
while three out of every 20
homes will get a more detailed
form and one out of every
20 will get the most detailed
questionnaire Spence said.
Generally the simplest
forms ask questions about sex
