History has shown that the most effective way to preserve peace is to have the capability of defending it. You, perhaps more than any other members of our society, appreciate this relationship between readiness and peace. Should detterence fail, it is you who must go into battle to defend our country and its way of life. Thus it is today that we must rededicate ourselves to the goal of ensuring that our Army, and that of the future, will be ready to accomplish its' assigned missions at home and overseas. I salute each of you for your past accomplishments, and express confidence that you will meet all new challenges with the esprit and professionalism traditional to the United States Army. Included among the activities scheduled for the occasion will be displays, demonstrations and carnival activities. Among the displays will be those of aircraft, photographic equipment, military armaments, weapons, weather equipment, and an arts and crafts exhibit.

The challenge is clear, the active Army and the Army Reserve Components must achieve the mark of excellence in every facet of their responsibilities. Both must be emobided with the professionalism that reality demands. Hard training and challenging situations will become the norm. Those entrusted with our national security must meet the most exacting standards. The American people have a right to expect the soldier to be professionally skilled, and highly motivated. This motivation must come from the respect and wholehearted support of the American people and be the result of responsible and innovative leadership within our ranks. This Armed Forces Day affords a special occasion for the soldier and the civilian to more fully appreciate that they share a mutual interest and responsibility the preservation of the freedom they both enjoy. 1 ... is " ' annual "Dugwav Days" Open House will be held next Friday, May 19, with the public invited to attend the activities.

However, I am well aware that the excellent results obtained by the Deseret Test Center would not be possible without the efforts of your dedicated and devoted workforce. I extend my personal thanks to all of your command." Major General Charles P. Brown In a letter sent to the Commanding General, DTC, dated April 21, 1972, from the Commanding General, U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command. be beneficial to the efficient operation of the organization.

In describing the role of this course for DTC, the general has indicated, "The theme of of the course is to coordinate all the tools of management and to put together for discussion all of the management assistance available to the supervisor.

Civilian nel Wild horses, water, motorcytrees, and recreation the main topics of a meeting held May Post Headquarters cles, juniper areas were discussion at 3 in the . Building, Dugway. THESE AND other problems were the subject of the meeting of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) officials and approximately 35 residents of Dugway, Terra and Skull Valley. The three main areas near Dugway which were discussed were the west slope of the S tans-bur- y Mountains, Cedar Mountain, and Simpson Sqring and stated that the primary purpose of the meeting was to find out the area residents' feelings considering multiple purpose use of the public lands. WATER WAS one of the main of discussion topics throughout the area as, first, residents of Terra asked if there were any future programs planned which could possibly help retain more water in the Terra area instead of the water all being wasted as it enters Skull Valley. Water use was also discussed for the White Rock area. Ranchers in the area pointed out that the water in the area is not fit for human consumption and is good only to water cattle. The White Rock area also was the topic of much discussion concerning its possible use as a recreational area. Ranchers pro Sign youA tested that there are already many motorcycles and other vehicles invading the area, and some drivers are chasing calves grazing there. Cycling enthusiasts, while agreeing that this was not condoned, were in favor, however, of setting aside a portion of the White Rock area for cycling facilities. The wild horses roaming in the White Rock area was also a point of contention. Not only the number varied from approximately 45 to upwards of 90, but the number that should be kept was from as 40, expressed by ranchers, to up to the present herd so that people who wanted to see a wild horse would have a much better opportunity. WHETHER BLM THE should expand their chaining of junipter trees was the next item on the meeting's agenda and, as with every item, there were many pros and cons. Several in attendance pointed out that one area in which this had been done in Terra was now not much more than a sandy waste while others described other areas as much improved with grazing grass growing well. Mr. Hillier explained that the BLM will take all the suggestions under consideration and a preliminary report will be published in late June which will appear in the "Sampler." In attition to Hillier, Grant Rogers, John Carlson and Dennis Curtis were BLM personnel at the meeting. wmb ... and WATCH WHAT HAPPENS! vestment yield of approximately 5'i percent per annum, Griffin noted that the low-ke- y drive will be conducted with no pressure on personnel to enroll.
