Both boys sallied into show business while in high school in Danville, Illi- Dick as a radio announcer, Jerry as a pantomimist. Both married their high school sweethearts. SO much talent under the Van Dyke roof in Danville, Jerry, at 14, showed a natural talent for comedy. Whenever there was a play at the high school, Jerry was on stage. He began booking himself at local dances, banquets and fraternal meetings. The Air Force beckoned, and after three years in service -during which time he developed his style of entertainment he hit the night club circuit. He gained stature with appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, NBC TVs The Andy Williams Show, 7The Judy Garland Show, and on his older brothers program "The Dick Van Dyke Slow. He also scored successfully on Johnny Carsons Tonight program. Doing a television series is usually demanding enough work for any actor, liut Jerry VanDyke plans to continue his night club appearances when his shooting schedule permits. JERRYS BANJO, once used as a prop, is now an important part of his act. His contagious laugh and open manner win in TV, audiences everywhere night clubs and motion pictures. It was also announced by Kenn Randall, General Director, that the Chad and Jeremy duo would also.be a part of the Jack Jones Show.

Other formations were the fishtail resembling a fossil femleaf, and the chevron or arrowhead twin. THE SECOND type is similar to the first in appearance but is sturdier and requires no water ' in the retrieval process. However, these crystals must be well washed to remove the ing sand. Included in type 11 are the selenite roses which are indigenous both to Oklahoma and to Arizona. The roses are spherical and composed of rows of blunt blades bearing a reasonable resemblance to the flower. Selenite roses are opaque and usually are a muted rose-reLocal gypsum crystals are imbedded in putty-lik- e gray clay in the banks of canals at the west edge of the Great Salt Lake about 10 miles north of highway 40. The crystals are as and do not a rule break easily. However, to prevent involuntary cleavage, they must be washed in salt water immediately upon exposure to the air. THE OGMS slides evoked reminiscences from the DCMS audience. Remember the time when we were digging gypsum crystals and the bank caved in on Bob Smith? The incident was a poignant reminder that must be a team project. The DCMS group agreed that only the most inexperienced and foolhardy novice would attempt a rock hunt individually, or with a single car. Group activity lessens snakedie hazards of cave-in- s, bites, or just being lost, noted Charles Helm, president. President Helm announced that DCMS has doubled in attendance during this fiscal year. Membership is also increasing. He attributed the encouraging growth to the exceptional programs arranged by Miss Jankus, vice president in charge of programs, and to the area's potential for attracting geologists, mineralogists, and just plain rock fanciers.

Clift In recent months personnel being processed for separation were asked why they were getting out, the answer most frequently given was I do not have a feeling of doing something constructive. They were asked if they were familiar with some of the many accomplishments the U.S. Army has made to society, and outside of major coinliat campaigns, they seemed to have no idea of the Army's other accomplishments. FROM OUR EARLIEST HISTORY to the present, die Army has been' and is one of the more progressive agencies of our democratic system. It has made, directly or indirectly, outstanding contributions to the country's exploration, development, and economic well being. The 23 soldiers who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their' famous expedition which opened the overland route to the Pacific Northwest were probably unaware of their iiftaiense service to our government and the thousands of settlers who later pushed westward. Their exploration and mapping of the unknown northwest helped pave the way for the most vigorous expansion of a nation ever recorded. For 30 years after its founding, in 1802, the U.S. Military Academy was the only organized agency for engineering education in America. During the 19th century the majority of the countrys engineers were products of the Long Cray Line. Could our railroads, dams, and other engineering developments have become early realities withmit the Anny's infusion of technical knowledge into the nation's bloodstream? MUCH OF THE GOOD health enjoyed in the worlds areas can lie attributed to the persistence of Army medicine which, through such heroic medical officers as Colonel The William G. Corgas, conquered malaria and yellow-feve- r. reduction of the threat of such diseases made possible the construction of the Panama Canal under the direction of the Army i Engineers - in itself the greatest engineering feat of modem times. The Army Medical Corps has maintained the spirit of its early pioneering efforts, and Brooke Army Medical Center, at Fort Sain Houston, Texas, is today regarded by many as America's foremost school of preventive medicine. Chapters could lie written about the feats of the Corps of Engineers an agency that makes a habit of conquering impossible tasks. Engineering circles still marvel over the professional masterpiece credited to the Army Engineers for their conception and construction of the huge cofferdam that made possible the raising of the sunken liattleship Maine from Havana, Harbor in 1911. Today, Army developments affect the daily lives of all Americans. Instant tea and coffee, now found in most homes, were suggested by Army Quartermaster innovations which brought about the soluble 1 leverage products found in World War II combat rations. Continuing Quartermaster research in new clothing fabrics and in food packaging and preservation promises to help raise our standard of living in the future. AFTER THE SOVIET UNION orbited an artificial satellite late in 1957, an Army team, on short preparatory notice, Successfully launched a modified Jupiter C missile which carried into orliit the Free World's first satellite on January 31, 1958. Later Army metallurgical breakthroughs reduced the hazards of nose cone making possible ensuing manned space shots. The Anny's record of liarrier-hunllin- g achievements is impressive, yet the Armys pride is not rooted in the past alone. The eyes of the Anny are on the future with such projects as of the lunar surface, harmapping and production of mock-up- s nessing of nuclear energy for use as electricity by cities, desalination of sea water to furnish a source of water to long arid areas of the world. These and many inure projects which will affect our lives in the years to come are ample proof that the Anny has plenty to offer the progress-minde- d individual. Its traditions are alive today and promise to thrive well into a limitless fil tune. Pride in the past? You liet we have, Imt certainly we will )e justified in having pride, in the future as well.
