Airlifted
US Army troops, fighting a simulated aggressor force, are
airlifted into a drop zone by U. S. Air Force Tactical Air

Anti-Sub Exercises
A US Navy Task Force Group conducts anti-submarine war
fare training exercises. The Task Group’s Flagship, the
USS Valley Forge, is surrounded by the group’s destroyers
and submarines while anti-submarine helicopters search
and patrol aircraft flight overhead.
Workhorse
The “Mighty Mite,” the workhorse of the Marines, is given
a lift by the Marine Corps helicopter, the HUS-1.
Tomorrow’s observance of Armed
Forces Day in Bryan will be only
one of many such observances
throughout the world as all free
dom-loving people pause to pay
tribute to the many new advances
made in military weapons and
equipment.
The local program is included in
Area 2 of the nation’s over-all plan
for the observance.
During the 11 years Armed
Forces Day has been observed, the
world has seen tremendous ad
vances in almost every phase of
military equipment. The most
notable advance has been in the
missile field, which has mush
roomed tremendously in the last
four or five years.
New Missiles
Included among the Army’s new
missiles are the Nike and Honest
John, while the Navy has pro
duced the Polaris and the Air Force
has produced the Atlas.
Tremendous advances have also
been made in practically every
type of aircraft, submarines and
various types of transport equip
ment. Among these are the Hound
Dog, X-15 rocket ship, Crusader
Jet, the Marlin Amphibious plane,
the “Mighty Mite,” Infantry
Weapons Carriers, helicopters and
various types of Task Groups and
Forces.
Life of Dignitaries
Another interesting aspect of
tomorrow’s ceremonies is the life
many of the dignitaries lead in
civilian life.
Col. Joe E. Davis and Lt. Col.
Taylor Wilkins, for example, are
both Commandants in military
schools. Col. Davis is Commandant
here and Lt. Col. Wilkins serves
at Allen Academy in Bryan.
Col, Kay Haswell is an insur
ance agent in Bryan, Brig. Gen.
Spencer Buchanan is a member of
the Department of Civil Engineer
ing, Lt. Col. 0. D. Butler is the
head of the Department of Animal
Husbandry, Comdr. Norman F.
Rode is a member of the Depart
ment of Electrical Engineering and
Lt. Col. William 0. Davis is an
agent and salesman for the Bryan
division of Humble Oil and Refin
ing Co.
President Earl Rudder was also
slated to appear on this morning’s
TV program but was forced to
decline the invitation. He serves
as commander of the 90th Infantry
Division.

retirement...
from?
or
to?
In this day of technical progress and medical re
search, science tells us that each of us will live
longer . . . yet RETIRE sooner.
What of those lengthening retirement years? Will
they be merely years of retirement from activity
or will they be years of retirement devoted to
creativity ?
Certainly everyone looks toward retiring—■
• TO a Place of Comfort
• TO a Time of Peace
• To a Way of Life That Is Relaxing and Creative.
This is retirement to the Golden Years of Life.
This is CRESTVIEW.
