NEITHER A BORROWER.........A good credit rating
may seem like having a chicken that lays golden eggs—but
it won’t increase your income and it can lead to a dangerous
personal “gold flow” problem.
Never buy anything on credit you cannot afford. Be sure
you can make those monthly payments before signing con-
ditional sales contracts which obligate you to pay—in full.
Many people believe that when they find themselves in
the embarrassing position where they cannot pay, the seller
will gladly take the item back in lieu of being paid! He may
take it back but you may still have to pay most or all of
what you originally agreed to pay! Repossessions are costly
—to you!
If you find that you are getting over your head with
financial obligations, see your legal officer for help in
rearranging your affairs before it’s too late.
NOR A LENDER BE .... “Look!!.. Before you lend
your car” .... It can sometimes be done “legally” merely
by making your car available or by not objecting to its use.
But, it can also lead to trouble.
You may be liable for the negligent acts of the borrower.
Also you may be blamed for not using care in selecting the
driver to whom you lend your car.
So, if you must be a nice guy, be sure of your borrower.
(Rental of your car subjects you to strict state laws—also
your auto insurance may be voided.) (AFNS)

Coughing: When Does
It Become Chronic?
“Do you cough too much?” It’s a question often asked in
modern health literature. Your answer might be, “How
much is too much?”
To shed some light on the average frequency of coughing,
a doctor at the University of Texas sat in on medical lec-
tures for an hour a week over a period of three years and
actually counted the coughs of each person present. He came
up with a “normal” cough rate<5>
of approximately three per person
every two hours.
cough is how long it persists—or,
if it goes away, how regularly it
comes back.
How Long?
So far so good. But there’s an-
other question. How long can a
person go on coughing before it’s
considered “too much?” Doctors al-
ready have an answer to that one.
According to the American Thor-
acic Society (the medical section
of the National Tuberculosis As-
sociation) a cough that persists
for a month or more is a chronic
cough—one that calls for doctor’s
attention.
That’s true even if the chronic
cougher has several coughfree
hours each day. It’s true if the
cough is “just a cigarette cough,”
or “only in the morning,” or “just
when I lie down,” or “only in the
winter.” The test of a chronic
Chronic Coughs—Danger Signs
A chronic cough can signify the
presence of tuberculosis, emphy-
sema, chronic bronchitis, asthma,
or some other serious Respiratory
Disease (RD). Such diseases can
be treated if found early enough
—and that’s why it’s important to
see your doctor if you cough and
keep on coughing.

coughing, ask your Tuberculosis
Association for these free leaflets:

PROPELLER VS JET ENGINE—The A-1E Skyraider,
the modified Navy aircraft now adapted to Special Air
Warfare, is being praised for its role of close support for
our forces in Vietnam.
A-1E Skyra
Worth In Cl
The A-1E propeller-driven air-*
craft has been praised for its
close support performance by Sec-
retary of the Air Force Harold
Brown and Capt. Richard G. Head,
USAF, 27, a pilot who recently
returned to the U.S. after flying
325 combat missions in Vietnam.
Captain Head told newsmen that
the Skyraider is the “greatest
close air support aircraft” that
he knows and that communications
of the A-1E are superb and a
necessity in close support mis-
sions.
A-1E Kills Sniper
Secretary Brown, in a speech
at the Executive’s Club of Chi-
cago, gave an example of the
Skyraider’s capabilities explaining
that a pilot shot a sniper out of
a tree located between friendly
forces no more than 40 yards
apart.
Men of Month
(Continued, from page 1)
Airman Of Month
H-3 is presently home for A1C
Jesus Garcia-Flores of the 667th
Air Control and Warning Squad-
ron who is the squadron’s chief
clerk and the Airman of the
Month. Airman Garcia-Flores is a
native of Brooklyn, N. Y., and his
wife resides in Queens. He at-
tended New York University for
one year prior to entering the Air
Force in 1961. He has been as-
signed to Iceland since November
of 1965. The 22-year-old airman
is continuing his education through
NYU extension courses and plans
on a degree in Business Admini-
stration.
ider Proves
ose Support
>-------------------------—
Noting that timely air support
can save the day, Secretary Brown
said, “The speed with which we
can respond to Army requests for
close air support is of great in-
terest to the Air Force as well
as to the ground forces.”
He believes U.S. equipment for
such support is the best in the
world, and “we intend to keep it
that way.”
As for advanced weapons
systems for close support, the sec-
retary said this year the Air
Force is procuring the A-7 a
Light Armed Reconnaissance Air-
craft. (AFNB)
More Air Assault
Divisions Needed
Performance demonstrated by the
Army’s air assault division in
Vietnam indicates a need for more
such units, according to U.S. offi-
cials.
At present, the 1st Cavalry Div.
(Aii-mobile) is in South Vietnam,
and according to officials at least
one more air assault division
would be advantageous.
Any decision for additional air-
mobile divisions would be up to the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and the
Army, the officials said.
The Army is studying how
many air assault units are needed
in the military structure.
At present there are 48 light
and medium helicopter companies.
The rate of production of UH-1
“choppers,” used by the airmobile
unit, is 150 a month, and increas-
ing because of additional require-
ments in RVN (AFNB).
