Col. Wesley E. Britting, is to fly mock penetration missions of the North American radar warning nets. The missions, performed at various altitudes, latitudes and longitudes, give the operator manning the nets actual practice in intercepting - and tracking aircraft as well as providing practice for the of how to survive in case they land in an isolated area. Instructors for the exercise are SSgt. William R. Bland and A1C John P. Suttles. Under their watchful eye, groups of up to a dozen or so men spend two days and one night at Mil- itary Springs. On arrival at the camp about 8:30 a.m. of the first day, the officers set to Work Catherine interceptors.

"It takes real Yankee to catch a rabbit in a snare," said Captain Ferrington. "But when our men get their survival diplomas, they can live off the land with the best of them." The stay over night makes the officers appreciate the comforts of home especially after trying to sleep an av blown-ulife raft. Rounding out the course is instruction in sending signals via smoke, hand mirrors, parachute panels and drills in first aid. Near noon of the second day the officers have completed their training, and have had about enough of roughing it outdoors. They then are brought back to Hill AFB, much wiser in the ways of the wild. sahce codh seuhg HAKES THE DIFFERENCE TIt FULL-LIN- E COVERAGE Your Agent Provides e Coverage to Yur Personal Needs Tailor-Mad- Representing Many Old Line Companies NO OBLIGATION-COUNSELIN- G Insurant Aulomobils Inland Marine Floaicr Policies Home Owners Burglary Surely Bonds Puhlic Liability LLtiAIUiELD r&tm Fire-Person- al l-IS- JiiferJ T l!

MEWS The following officers were elected in our recent election to serve you in lodge 1592. President Undecided 1st. Vice Pres. John Kirkland 2nd Vice Pres. Undecided 3rd Vice Pres. Bill yade 4th Vice Pres. Karl Youngberg 5th Vice Pres. Delmar Peterson Secretary-TreaFrancis Browning s. Sergeant-of-Arm- s Billy Joe Huckabee The two undecided officers are not filled because a majority of votes were not cast for any candidate in these offices. Our Constitution, which is similar to roost labor union constitutions requires a candidate to receive a majority vote, this means 50';b of the ballots cast plus one. We missed this majority by a slim margin of votes of president. This makes it necessary to have a run off election, which will be held February 19. Friday, evening from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., in the Seagull Room of the State Savings & Loan, 75 So. Main St., Clearfield, Utah. It is vitally important that all union members attend this meeting and vote so the election can be completed. Candidates are : President Waller Bussell President Melvin Jacobsen 2nd Vice Pres. Henrietta Winterowd 2nd Vice Pres. Ray Wilson 6 for-offic- e After the election is complete we can return to the important business at hand, which is gaining of exclusive recognition for AFGE at HAFB. It appears at this time to be absolutely certain that we will attain exclusive recognition this year. This means all employees interests will be represented by AFGE and we can write our own contract with management covering our working conditions. This is something Federal Employees have never been able to do, in fact it wasn't even a possibility until President Kennedy signed executive Order 10983 into law. Think very seriously about this very important matter and exercise your right to vote February 19, one week from tonight and elect the persons that can most capably represent your interests. , Fraternally Yours Officers of Lodge 1592 B.
