Insure For
Tomorrow
There was recently a judgment
against a young military man
who was involved in a serious
automobile accident. This vividly
brought to mind the importance
of purchasing a sufficient amount
of liability insurance on a car.
A “sufficient amount” will vary
with the individual and should be
determined only after consulting
with an insurance agent.
Negligent Driving
The young man, an E-3 in one
of the Armed Services, was con-
victed of negligent driving re-
sulting in the death of a passenger
in the other car involved. A judg-
ment of $50,000 was placed
against him. He had no insurance
on his car.
Voluntary Bankruptcy
By his lack of consideration
concerning the importance of
proper insurance coverage, this
young man placed himself practi-
cally in voluntary bankruptcy for
the better part of his life. Until
he pays the $50,000 in full, he
can never own or purchase any-
thing other than the necessities
of life. His credit standing can
be considered worthless. No matter
where he goes, this stigma fol-
lows him. If and when he leaves
the service the opportunity of
ever obtaining a worthwhile posi-
tion has been seriously jeopar-
dized. All this burden to carry
because he lacked a little fore-
thought.
Proper Insurance
The significance of this indif-
ferent thinking should require no
further emphasis. The cost of
proper and sufficient insurance
on your car, no matter how high
it may seem, is but a fraction of
what it will be in dollars, morale
and your future position in life,
if a judgment is placed against
you.
Assure your peace of mind by
insuring yourself against an un-
happy future.
Reserves Moved
Washington (AFPS) — The
planned Army Reserve National
Guard realignment will affect 21
divisions which the Department
of Defense lists as being without
a military requirement.
Six reserve divisions and 15
guard divisions are currently in
the “no military requirement”
category. These divisions will be
realigned to form 21 separate bri-
gades.
Sixteen of the brigades will be
“divisional” and five will be “in-
dependent brigades” to augment
high priority guard divisions.
The guard has six priority divi-
sions, two “special purpose” di-
visions, 15 others, and an author-
ized strength of 400,000.
The six high priority divisions,
and “special purpose” divisions
will each lose two brigades with
these being replaced by the newly-
formed brigades.
Reserve strength shows an au-
thorization of 300,000 comprising
six divisions plus 13 training divi-
sions and an individual reservist
pool.
Training divisions have been as-
signed a high priority, an offi-
vial said, and no appreciable re-
alignment is anticipated. The six
reserve divisions will be re-
aligned into six brigades.
Individual reservist in the pool
will be afforded an oppurtinity
to join the guard for unit assign-
ment, or remain in the “filler”
pool for summer camp training or
mobilization call-up.
“SHOVE OFF, BUB!”—“Susie,” who gave birth to four pups Monday
in the base post office, hovers protectively over her brood (behind
mother) as the photographer comes near—but not to near. At left

Susie Delivers Her Packages
Through Rain, Sleet Or Snow
The base (Post Office had some
unexpected help from their dog,
Susie, Monday.
Since the post office is unable
to obtain additional personnel to
operate more efficiently, Susie,
(of questionable parentage), anx-
ious to help, delivered four new
Postal Clerk Seaman Recruits
(PCSR)!
The pups, born in an air mail
bag, were found at a bin in the
sorting room. The four new postal
clerks are black with white mark-
ings and are presently living with
mother next to the furnace.
After and intensive period of
training on postal laws and reg-
ulations, the new PSCR’s will be
available to all units and com-
mands for the training of person-
nel in the proper handling and
distribution of mail.
Gifts Bombard
Eskimo Village
Christmas came to a small Es-
kimo village, Tinitequilac, Green-
land, Dec. 23, through combined
efforts of the U.S. Air Force men
at the Rockville site and Combat
Air Crew Two of VP-23.
About 400 pounds of toys were
collected by Keflavik Naval Sta-
tioned Chaplains and packed by
the Air Force pei-sonnel, Rock-
ville site. Then, VP-23 Combat
Air Crew Two parachuted the
toys down to the waiting village
children upon completion of a
routine patrol.
The whole village turned out on
the run as the big Navy P-2 aii--
craft appeared over the ice-caked
Greenland fjord. The cheering Es-
kimos, arms waving in welcome,
were a happy sight to the airmen
of VP-23 and made their Christ-
mas away from home a little
brighter and more meaningful.
