New Texas National Guardi iinit established on post
Armd. Div. who works for the Army as
civilian employee as his civilian career.
He noted the enthusiasm that was pre-
sent among both the civic leaders and
the military representatives attending
the recognition ceremony and said one
general officer present made the state-
ent that having a national guard
armory present in a community is the
economic equivalent of the presence of
a regular Army battalion.
Chapin pointed out that many sol-
diers leaving active duty settle in the
area and that the establishment of a na-
tional guard unit locally provides them
with the opportunity of taking part in a
LEAKING
reserve component program.
The detachment received federal rec-
ognition Dec. 1 and since that time has
had two drills the second one being last
weekend when its six newest members
were sworn in according to SFC Doug-
las Priem the unit’s administrative-
su ly te ic ia and also first
sergeant.
PRIEM SAID THE mission of the de-
tachm ent will include a combination of
functions within both the supply and
the transportation areas but that the
primary emphasis will be in the supply
area.

“The first thing we have to do is work
on our facilities” he said “doing such
things as transferring in equipment
and establishing physical security of
the two assigned buildings. Initially
the unit will be doing a lot of classroom
training” and added that the detach-
ment later on will receive training
from regular post units as well.
The NCO said prior-service men and
women and high school graduates are

ing of at least 25 mpg. and the speed at
which you’ll survive a head-on crash of
40 mph.
WAIT A MINUTE—what was the last

Price and fuel economy ratings are
now required by law to be listed on all
new-car window stickers. If anew gov-
ernment program proves successful a
crash rating will also be listed in the
near future.
“What we are trying to do is deter-
mine a rating scheme for cars to learn
which perform better than others”
according to Michael Brownlee dire-
ctor of the office of automobile ratings
for the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. (NHTSA).
NHTSA took 20 of the ’79 model cars
and rammed them into a concrete bar-
