Tea kettle alert Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) officials and other retailers are alerting consumers to use their Gemco whistler glass tea kettles carefully. , Hie eight-cu- p glass tea kettle has a plastic handle and collar which may loosen if the kettle is place off center over a high flame on a gas range. A number of incidents resulting from handle failure after heating have been reported. Approximately 7 million of the kettles, imprinted The Whistler, have been made and sold worldwide by Gemco Ware, Inc., since 1977. The company has redesigned the handle of the kettle with a stainless steel collar. To avoid injury from scalding water, AAFES officials suggest the following precautions: 1. Boil on low or medium flame only. 2. Place kettle in center of the burner. 3. Never allow kettle to boil dry- 4. Use a trivet if you have an electric range. ' They also suggest if the kettle handle shows signs of deformation, discontinue using the kettle.

And the Carruth family J G cn joined the ranks of the run-of- f this past week, hitching up the spring-summ- f er Volvo and heading east. Change of command is a ceremony which must be seen or experienced to really appreciate. The latest in the history of Dugway proved to be colorful, musical and almost unbelievably hot. Music, provided by the 36th Army Band of Ft. Huachuca, ZA, was right on step, and weeks of practice paid off on the parade field; the Dugway troops looked fine. The only major complaints received were heat related. Seven soldiers were overcome by heat, and health clinic medics kept busy removing, them to cooler, shaded areas. There were a few. reports of shoe polish literally melting on the shoes and boots of soldiers on the field; a PAO thermometer recorded a scorching 118 degrees at the completion of the event.

Morrell at the Post Theater July 17. Escorted by DARCOM Sergeant Major William Tapp, the SMA was on a whirlwind tour of DARCOM installations that brought him first to Tooele Army Depot and then to Dugway. Because of aircraft problems, the SMA came to Dugway by car from the depot, a point he made in his opening made clear that he appreciated how isolated we were. I was talking with the Sergeant Major from Tooele, and he told me that whenever he gets a soldier that's dissatisfied with the depot he drives them to the top of the pass and shows them Dugway, and they usually say, okay, I've seen enough, lets go back. Morrell took advantage of the time to explain some of the polices that are being worked on, and the rationalle behind them to the soldiers. He explained that the sure pay system, once the bugs are ironed out, is good for both the soldier and the Army by reducing the errors that can occur when a soldier moves around. If we ever do go to war, and I hope we dont, it's going to be some time before we get a finance outfit over there, Morrell stated, and a lot longer before we get the money to pay the folks. With ? EH r 6 division, he looks for E-in to get brighter promotions about two years. He also stated that because of the Congressionally man- dated end strength of the Army, the efforts to closely monitor those with physical profiles were necessary to ensure that the Army we have on paper is ready to go anywhere at any time. More good news was that the Chief of Staff and Secretary of Defense were committed to ensuring that the five-yeplan for, upgrading the quality of life on the installa-- . ar V "o-i- sure pay, the pay will be where the soldier, needs it when he needs it, and that's important.
