Pistol Matches
By A/1C Bill Tucker
The powerful 1400th Supply Squadron bowling team,
led by A/2C Gordon Joyner’s 566 series, won the Com-
mander’s Trophy bowling- chaimpionship last week by
downing- the Air Base Squadron entry in a suspensefilled
contest which wasn’t decided until**’
the rolling of the last ball down
the long alleys.
TSgt Bob Freeman rolled a
spare and then a strike in the
tenth frame to take the total pins
competition for the Supplymen.
Freeman proved his title as anch-
orman in the match. He came up
for his last turn needing all he
could get. Exactly how much he
needed is illustrated by the fact
that the final tabulations showed
Supply had won by a total of two
pins, 2746 to 2744.
Joyner, besides having the high
series for the three games, also
carried away high individual
game honors, with a 213. The
Supplymen had three men with
over 500 or better series, with
A/1C Joe Paguyo hitting an even
500.
But Air Base Squadron had two
men over the charmed 500 mark
too. Captin Everett Rowland hit
for a 5I36 series, and Canyard
had a 512.
Other members of the champion
Supply team are MSgt Frank
Faulkner and A/1C Bill Forbes.
A/2C Ron Clardy and A/1C John
Zamaria assisted greatly in their
rise toward the championship, but
have departed since to the United
States.

Drive Costs
AFNS - Let there be no mistake
about who’s behind the drive to
raise $3,500,000 to build a foot-
ball stadium for the Air Force
Academy. It is the Air Force
Academy Foundation, a non-pro-
fit group of the nation’s civic
leaders who function as an alumni
association otherwise would.
The Foundation is footing the
costs of the drive and collecting
the money raised. When the
Foundation mailed the Falcon
Stadium fund drive materials to
Air Force bases worldwide the
total weight of the parcels came
to 6,000 pounds. Mailing costs for
the 1,200 packages came to more
than $2,000. The foundation also
picked up the tab for printing the
1,804,000 separate items in the
mailing.
Many people die of gas each

“No Fire Loss, Four Consecutive Months’’
It could have happened without the help of everyone. The Iceland
Defense Force has passed another milestone. March was the fourth
consecutive month with no government fire loss. This is indeed re-
markable because many necessary operational conditions here are
very conducive to fire. With adequate supervision, the hazards have
been minimized.
The use of oil-type space heaters, the use of old, deteriorated
structures and the rapid turn-over of personnel are only a few of
the major areas which have generated a chance for a pattern of
fire incidents. Until six months ago, the Iceland Defense Force
was a “thorn in the side” of higher headquarters in this matter.
There is nothing that will reflect more unfavorably upon a com-
mand than a poor fire record.
Today the picture has changed abruptly. Fire prevention is a pro-
gram that has been “sold”. Few people see the need until they ex-
perience a fire. With the current reorganization and consolidation
of forces, the relocation of personnel into quarters of a more non-
combustible type and the continued assistance of all personnel, our
fire rating should continue to improve.

Gives $700
First Stadium Plaque
To AFA Athletic Chief
Col. George B. Simler, USAF Academy Director of
Athletics, got the Academy’s part of the Falcon Stadium
fund drive off the ground on the first day of the campaign
by presenting a $100 check to William J. Kirn, secretai'y-
treasurer of the Air Force Aca-‘
demy Foundation. The Founda-
tion is a civilian group sponsoring
the drive.
In recognition of his donation
a seat plate bearing the colonel’s
name will be placed in the cadet
section on the east side of the
stadium.
Foundation officials have ar-
anged for similar plates to rec-
ognize $100 contributions by indi-
viduals or groups, such as air-
craft and shop crews or office
staffs. The plate may be inscrib-
ed with the name of any person
or group, including civilian em-
ployees, whcih has served or is
serving honorably in the Armed
Forces. Larger groups, such as
clubs or squadrons, donating
$1,000 will be recognized with
metal plaques on the wall of ais-
leways on the west bank of the
stadium.
Although complete details re-
garding plaques or plates have not
yet been worked out, they will be
of uniform design approved by the
Academy Memorialization Com-
mittee. The Foundation will pur-
chase and install them. Founda-
tion officials emphasize that the
seat plate does not reserve a s°at
for the individual. It merely serv-
es as a permanent memorial.

Conflict, General Tunner pion-
eered the concept of MATS Mili-
tary Airlift in support of U.S.
Forces overseas.
Last month, he served as Air
Director for exercise BIG SLAM
/Puerto Pine, which was the first
test of U.S. Strategic Airlift of
Army combat forces overseas.
During the two-week exercise
22,000 troops and 11,000 tons of
their equipment were airlifted by
MATS Strategic Airlift Forces
from the U.S. Puerto Rico and
return without a single aircraft
accident.
The exact date of General Tun-
ner’s retirement and the assign-
ment of a successor are still to
be determined. However there
were some indications that Major
General Joe W. Kelley, former
commander of the Air Proving
Ground Center, may be selected
to fill General Tunner’s vacated
slot.
He only drinks to calm himself
His steadiness to improve.
Last night he got so steady,
He couldn’t even move.
