Drew, GUIDON Editor Colonel E. I. Hockaday, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, recently announced that the Missouri motor vehicle inspection program will begin as scheduled Sunday, Dec. 1. In conjunction with this, Captain Walter Bloomfield, post ex- change officer, announced that the PX garage would be an offi- cial state inspection facility licensed to perform official state inspections for people who have to renew their Missouri regis- trations. Ft. Leonard Wood personnel will be affected by this new in- spection program. Anyone who needs to renew his Missouri registration beginning in January 1969 will need to adhere to the inspection standards and procedures. The motor vehicle inspection law requires vehicles to be inspected within 30 days prior to registration. This means that Ft. Wood personnel owning vehicles with licenses due to be renewed in January, must have the vehicle inspected sometime in December 1968. The cost of the inspection is $2.50 which has been set by the state. The state of Missouri will receive 50 cents to cover the cost of the sticker and necessary paper work involved in regis- tering these inspections. The garage will retain the two dollars. Previous inspections on post cost one dollar. According to CPT Bloomfield the new inspection is worth the additional money because inspections will be more comprehensive. The normal post inspection took approximately five minutes while the new state inspection will take about 25 minutes. The work will include pulling of the wheels for close in- spection of the automobile's brake shoes and measuring the ball joints to check the amount of wear. The rest of the new inspec- tion will follow the previous criterion of the post inspection. In addition, CPT Bloomfield stated that as soon as an official date is reached all cars on post will have to measure up to the state inspection standards. However, the provost marshal, the post and the state of Missouri will recognize inspections from other states that meet the same requirements as the inspection program here. Hy- pothetically, this means that an individual can have his car registered in Ohio and when he arrives on post will be given a post registration without further inspection, provided, of course, that Ohio's inspection program sets the same requirements as Missouri. Also, anyone having his car inspected at an official state inspection facility, for example in St. Louis, will be given a post registration without further inspection at Ft. Wood. The state inspection will put a restriction on use of the PX garage. The only people allowed to use this facility for inspec- tion will be people with exchange privileges. This includes mili- tary personnel and their dependents, retired military personnel, Red Cross personnel on post and post exchange workers with authorized post exchange privileges. Other personnel must have their automobiles inspected at one of the other state inspection points. The highway patrol states that at least 1,300 authorized vehicle inspection stations throughout the state will be ready to conduct inspections by Sunday. COL Hockaday outlines the criterion for inspection, "We be- lieve that the standards and requirements set out in the motor vehicle inspection program are reasonable and yet technical enough to assure safe mechanical condition of a vehicle. Nothing is required that is not already necessary under the motor ve- hicle law. No equipment is required of a particular make and model vehicle that was not listed as standard equipment by the manufacturer."

A FuII-Time Job for EveryoneDespite the sophisticated and futuristic devices used by both the
"good guys" and the "bad guys" in present-day spy movies, booksand television shows for gathering intelligence, one of the oldestand most effective methods of picking up military information isstill to eavesdrop on military personnel in their everyday conversa-tion.
Science and technology have developed electronic detectors, long-range microphones, bugging devices and anti-bugging devices. Butthe one thing that can't be changed or completely controlled is thehuman element-the unknowing or inadvertent disclosure of apiece of vital classified information by an individual during thecourse of a conversation.
It's this one slip that just might give our enemies a vital pieceto the intelligence jigsaw puzzle they are trying to put together.Certainly a great deal can be learned by our enemies by simplyreading the newspapers, news magazines, government publicationsand the like. Often we read about an operation or piece of equip-ment in the news media that is supposedly classified.
Stop and think for a moment though. Is the complete story reallythere, published for all to read, or have one or two vital piecesbeen left out-pieces that you might know aboutbecause you work withthat item of equipment or on the particular operation?
Those are the pieces the enemy is looking for and can afford tosift through a lot of useless or duplicated information to find. Oneslip on your part may not give them all they want, but combinedwith the careless slips of many others, it can help provide thepieces to an intelligence jigsaw puzzle fatal to our country.
Security of information is not to be taken lightly. Our enemieshave sworn to buy us and our way of life and they will use everysneaky, dirty, devious trick in the book to do it. Highly technicalor classified information should not be the subject of casual con-versation. Don't try to use your knowledge of classified matters toimpress people and don't get careless in your conversation. Some-body is probably listening to you-possibly the wrong people.

medicine to patients has arrived atU. S. General Leonard Wood ArmyHospital (USGLWAH). CaptainRobert C. Davis, chief, PharmacyService, announced the USGLWAHpharmacy is now packaging drugsin individual doses. Each pill or

The complete identification onthe envelope allows the nurse toinsure at the time the drug isadministered that it is the correctone for the patient. Under the

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The followingarticle, written by John Hirsch, isreprinted from The Fort Riley Postdated Nov. 8, 1968.)
On June 13, 1905, Second Lieu-tenant E, A. Buchanan, the officerin charge of prisoners at FortRiley, wrote to the adjutant of theFort Riley cavalry sub-post re-questing perinission to purchase12 washboards, one razor hone,and a pair of barber's clippersfor use of the prisoners.
Lieutenant Buchanan's letter,which is still in the files at theFort Riley Museum, was endorsedby the adjutant and by LieutenantColonel Parker, commander of the13th Cavalry. When it was sent tothe Office of the Commissary atFort Riley, however, the requestfor a razor hone was questioned.The captain of commissary wrotethat a razor hone had been fur-nished only six months previouslyand should have lasted longer.
The fourth endorsement to theletter is again from the adjutant,who sent the request back to Lieu-tenant Buchanan so that he couldexplain why a new razor hone wasnecessary. Lieutenant Buchanan
wrote back explaining that the oldhone had accidentally been droppedand broken.
The request was then forwardedto the military secretary, Depart-ment of the Missouri, on to Head-quarters, Department of the Mis-souri, and then to the chief ofcommissary of the Department.The chief of commissary sent therequest back to Headquarters,where it was forwarded on to themilitary secretary, Washington,D. C.
After being approved by the mili-tary secretary in Washington,Lieutenant Buchanan's requestwent to the War Department andon to the Office of the CommissaryGeneral. The commissary generalcommented that the hone shouldnot have been dropped and reducedthe request from 12 washboards tosix washboards. The request wasthen sent to the Office of theChief of Staff, where it was en-dorsed and returned to the WarDepartment. The Secretary of Warthen approved the request and for-warded it back to the commandinggeneral, Department of the Mis-souri.
1905From Headquarters, Depart-
ment of the Missouri, LieutenantBuchanan's letter was sent back tothe chief of commissary of theDepartment, who forwarded it backto the military secretary of theDepartment. The military secre-
tary returned the letter to Depart-ment Headquarters, where it wassent to the commanding officer ofFort Riley.
By order of Colonel Godfrey,commanding officer of Fort Riley,the letter was returned to the postOffice of Commissary, where itwas forwarded back to LieutenantBuchanan. It had received a totalof 20 endorsements.
It is not recorded whether Lieu-tenant Buchanan ever actually pur-chased the razor hone and wash-boards. Considering the length oftime required to gain approval, hemay have already retired from theArmy.
It is fortunate that paperworkhas been simplified in the "newaction Army* and that official re-quests never get fouled up in redtape (well, almost never).

wieldstrainees of 1st Brigade. Traineesundergo tactical training and in-fantry-type squad tactics.
In addition to map reading, in-struction includes camouflage andconcealment techniques, dis-mount drill and physical training.Further instruction with the basicM-14 rifle is added to each indi-viduals's schedule while commandinformation classes are given tokeep him informed on currentevents and important Army news.Barracks and equipment inspec-tions as well as kitchen police(KP) and guard duty are onlyminor duties while in AIT.
The trainee receives instructionin handling certain engineer toolsand land mine warfare. The use ofthe pneumatic drill or air hammeris taught to one group as anothergroup receives instruction andpractice in tying knots such as thetimber hitch, clove hitch, a bow-line and the square knot. Knowinghow to tie these and other knots en-ables the combat engineer to builda bridge, haul timber or lift heavyequipment to great heights.
Learning the technical facetsof the M-60 machine gun, M-79grenade launcher and the 3. 5 rocketlauncher requires hours of studyand practice beginning in the earlypart of the eight-week course. Thistraining enables the trainee to befamiliar with weapons that someday may help to save his or abuddy's life while performing theirmission. To hinder an enemy'sadvance or to block his retreat,the 1st Brigade trainee receives atleast 12 hours instruction in learn-ing how to build wire obstacles.
The combat engineer now isready for graduation and ready totake his place in the fighting teamof the U. S. Army. What he learnedat the 1st Engineer Training Bri-gade of Ft. Leonard Wood may bea deciding factor in America'sfight to preserve freedom through-out the world.

I Two 5th Brigade Members Promoted to E-8 in Dual Ceremony
Denver to Nashville in a coveredwagon! No, it's not a scene from anold western movie, but a 20thCentury promotion tour for a sing-ing group called Those EllisBrothers.
On June 15 Private Fred Ellisof B-1-5 and his two brothers,Denny and Roger, set out for thecountry music capital of the worldin a 70-year-old covered wagondrawn by two horses. Three monthslater the group arrived in Nash-ville, Tenn,, and the path to star-dom was paved.
PVT Ellis and his brothers havebeen singing professionally formore than two years, although theyhad been performing in Denver,Colo., for many years.
Noted for their close harmonyon vo6als, the group attributesthis to the fact that they startedout singing in church.
The group's big break came inOctober 1966 when they won atalent contest in Denver. Neverhaving performed before a crowdof 5,000 people before the threebrothers were extremely ner-vous. However, after a few com-
forting words from veteran per-former Minnie Pearl their fearswere dispelled.
After winning the contest PVTEllis' group toured extensivelythroughout the northwestern partof the United States including aperformance in Alaska.
Those Ellis Brothers cut theirfirst record entitled, "Heaven," inConway Twitty's recording studioin Oklahoma City, Okla., in Mayof this year. It took them 15 hours"in the studio to perfect the re-cording.
Released on their ownSully labeland written by themselves, thesong was not distributed nationally,but was sold on tour and was given
to local radio stations.Three more singles are in the
offing for PVT Ellis and hisbrothers including an album inJanuary.
PVT Ellis expressed confidencethat another song called "Dial theTwo" will be a national success.The group played the song at RoyAcuff's request at the Grand OldOpry and received a standing ova-tion.
The covered wagon tour endedin Nashville September 17 with-out PVT Ellis. In Cape Glirardeau,Mo., he received a letter from theDepartment of the Army, via theHighway Patrol, to report for dutyAug. 23.
Although he missed what wasperhaps the group's greatestthrill, that of performing onthe Grand Old Opry, PVT
Ellis hopes the group willagain have a chance to performin the country music capitalof the world.
Upon completing active duty theB-1-5 trainee, who is an en-,listed reservist, will meet hisbrothers for a tour in the Washing-ton, D. C., area duringthe holidays.
Those Ellis Brothers have beenperforming without a drummerwhile PVT Ellis fulfills his activeobligation. When the trio is re-united it will consist of Fred ondrums, Denny (who plays a home-made guitar fashioned after aFender Telecaster) on lead guitarand lead vocal, and Roger on bassguitar.
The group considers itself partof the "New Country Movement"leaning away from the piercing,barroom whine that has becomeassociated with country music.No one in the trio reads music-they perform only original materi-al.

A Lost Art
In ancient days written commu-nication was not of the greatestimportance since most messageswere carried by runners who wouldreport orally on logistics or com-mand.
Today, however, with a vastorganization such as the Army,
mmunication in writing hasached a level of utmost impor-
tance and it must be handled withdispatch and correctness.
Fifth Brigade's Army Adminis-tration Course (AAC) sees thisas a large responsibility. Thetrainees graduating from thecourse, under the supervision ofChief Warrant Officer Sylvan Haas,course supervisor, are aware ofthe pitfalls into which a novicewriter may fall.
Whether they write a militaryletter or a simple memo theylearn to pay careful attention tothe principles of Englishgrammarso that the work will belucid and precise, and free fromincorrect spellings.
The course stresses spelling asone of the most frequent reasons

In the event we findwe are not up-to-date, we are tonotify them, and they willrequesition the needed ones frombatallon headquarters.
By exercising good learninghabits AAC trainees find spellingcan be greatly improved. Thecourse teaches four simple aidswhich cover a majority of situa-tions,
1. See the word. Let your every-day reading help you in your spell-ing. Form a habit of looking ateach word carefully and getting apicture of it.
2. Hear the word. Give morethought to the sound of the word.Separate it into syllables, sound-ing the syllables carefully as youattempt to write the word.
3. Watch for peculiarities of
words. When the spelling of a adiword is contrary to what youmight expect, give that word parti- .
cular attention and resolve to re-member it.
4. Use memory aids wheneverpossible. Make up your ownmemory aids. Try to see in awordsomething that will help you re-member its spelling.
