WHITE FALCON
Friday, October 22, 1965
United Nations-Doetor;
Teacher For Millions
Oct. 24,1965, is United Nations Day—20th anniversary of the Day
the United Nations Charter became effective.
The United Nations was created in the aftermath of World
War II to formulate means of healing the world and to eliminate the
possibility of another such holocaust.
Mediator And Guardian Of Peace
In its peacekeeping role, it has acted time and again as mediator
and firm guardian of peace. In Africa, in Asia, in the Middle East,
the UN has intervened, with persuasion when possible with force of
arms when necessary, to prevent minor conflicts that might have
grown to threaten the security of the world.
- In its role as an agent of world prosperity, it has fostered cooper-
ation between nations. Without that cooperation, there would be no
international progress.
International Agreements
It would be impossible, for instance, to explore outer space if
it were not for international agreements to govern the use of radio
frequencies. Weather information is exchanged under the auspices of
the World Meterological Organization, using the facilities and satel-
lites of all industrialized nations. The United States, Mexico, Israel
and the Soviet Union are cooperating in studies on the use of nuclear
power reactors in desalting sea water.
The UN is dedicated to improving the lot of mankind and fight-
ing sickness poverty and ignorance. Programs have been initiated
to combat disease and improve sanitation. Developing nations are
helped in their efforts to improve economic and social growth through
the organization of natural resources, and with loans from interna-
tional lending agencies affiliated with the UN.
Americans’ Duty - Knowledge Of UN
The United States has always been one of the strongest sup-
porters of the UN and its undertakings. As Americans and as mem-
bers of our country’s military forces, it is our duty to understand
what the UN is and what it stands for, and to support it in what-
ever way we can.
Our peace and prosperity is interwoven with the peace and pros-
perity of the world, and our nation’s freedom is secure only as long
as the freedom of the world is secure. (AF1PS)
Stars ’n Stripe
Questions On
Nation’s Flag
One of the most recognizable
and least known things in our life
today is the American flag. This
is easily recognized if you will
just take the time to sit down and
draw a true picture of that flag.
A dollar to a donut would be a
pretty safe bet that not one person
in ten could sit down and do it
correctly.
How Many Stripes
Asking the average American
what are the colors in his flag,
he would immediately reply, “Bed,
white and blue” ... and look at
you as if you were impertinent.
Asking him what are the col-
ors of the stripes, he would reply,
“Red and white.”
As to how many stripes there
are he’ll answer, “Thirteen ...
one for each of the original col-
onies.”
So far so good. Now ask the
question, “How many red stripes
are there, and how many white
stripes?”
After a long mental consulta-
tion with himself, he may (eight
out of ten times) come up with
the right answer — seven red
stripes, six white stripes.
Stars Are Simple
Then if you inquire how many
stars there are in the flag, his
answer may be 48, 49 or 50.
Allowing for the correct an-
swer ... 50, the next question con-
cerns the proper position of the
stars in the flag.
“Why that’s simple,” he’ll say
... “There are five rows down
and 10 rows across — five times
ten are fifty.”
Tell him he’s wrong and he’ll
change it to five across and ten
rows down — five times ten are
still fifty.
If you tell him he’s wrong again
and that there are nine rows of
stars in his flag, after struggling
with pencil and paper, he’ll tell
you it’s mathematically impossible.
Nine Rows Of Stars
Then you show him that it isn’t.
The correct American flag does
have nine rows of stars. Five rows
have six stars — 30. Four rows
alternately between the five have
five stars — 20. So your donut
will usually be won because very
few people are able to properly
place the fifty stars representing
our fifty States in the blue sky of
our nation’s flag.

32 nd FIS Victorious
At William Tell Meet
The four winning squardrons in the 1965 United States Air Force
(USAF) Fighter Interceptor Weapons Meet, dubbed William Tell,
held at Tyndall AFB, Fla., Oct 1-9, have been announced.
The most spectacular victory of the meet went to the 32nd Fighter
Interceptor Squardron (FIS) from Soesterberg AB, The Netherlands.
The 32nd, flying F-102 Delta Daggers, fought a down-to-the-wire
duel with the 59th FIS of Goosed
Bay, Labrador.
The six winning pilots are Col.
Edward M. Walsh, Capt. Erwin
P. Wallaker, Capt. Bob L. Stirm,
Capt. Gerard DeLaCruz, 1st Lt.
Victor F. Lucas and 1st Lt. Omer
L. Ward. Also attending the meet
with the pilots were the ground
crew and two Dutch ground con-
trollers.
First Time For The Squadron
It was the first time the squad-
ron or the pilots had participated
in the contest.
The 32nd were guests of Ice-
land Defense Force’s 57th FIS,
at U.S. Naval Station, Kefla-
vik, Iceland, Sept. 15—16, prior
to the team’s arrival at Tyndall
for the meet and on Oct. 14—15,
during their return to Soester-
berg.
The Air Defense Command’s
(ADC) weapons meet, held every
other year, tests the defense power
of the Air Force fighter intercept-
or and radar units. At Tyndall,
ADC units demonstrated their abi-
lity to perform the basic functions
of air defense, surveillance, detec-
tion, identification and destruc-
tion of targets.

awards in their aircraft cate-
gories went to: 62nd FIS, K.I.
Sawyer AFB, Mich., and 13th FIS,
