Get a bunch of people over 50 years of age to- in apartments hung boxes from their windows and planted vegetables. We hadI a big back yard, and how used to love .those home- gether in one room, and eventually the talk will turn grown tomatoes. Then there was sugar rationing. My mother, recog- to the "Big War, you know, WWTwo. nizing that this could present a problem,, solved it by That happened the other day, and as each person contributed their memories, it got more interesting. Remember the black-out-s and the practice air raids? You should of heard some of the stories about them! Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately this newspaper isn't X rated. . We got reminiscing about rationing. Do you remember rationing. We used to take our ration of sugar and parcel it out to each kid (there was 5). We used pint canning jars. I would run out first, and then have to beg from my brothers and sisters. Always a at-ho- , two-spon- with cereal for breakfast. Did you ever try to eat oatim- . meal with no sugar. . . possible. And the flags in the windows of homes. How did it go? The white star for each what Jthe speed limit was all through the war? It was 35 miles an hour! Can you imagine the outcry today if that boy in the service, wasnt there a blue star for each one overseas, and, of course, the gold star for each one that died in the war. I was 11 when the war started, and I can remember standing on the sidewalk staring in awe at those flags, especially the ones that had more than one star. Seemed like there were a lot of those gold ones in my home town. I was asked one time what were enforced? It was to save gasoline. And speaking about that remember the A B C and D stickers in the windshields of all the cars? I to can remember car-pooli- ng the grocery store. Just to drive into town was a big event. And the housewives were asked to save the fat from cooking. They used to pour it into cans and send them off somewhere. None of us could remember why it was saved, and where it was sent. We all remembered hearing of the radio announcer that reminded all the housewives to send their fat cans to a such-and-su- er remembered about the war. The day that Gen. Jimmy Doolittle bombed I Tokyo stands out. When we got the news I can remember walking to school talking to the other kids. It was the greatest public relations job ch place. pfiimnims ing stable similar to the one of the war. Then there was' the movies. When the Movietone News came on the screen showing "our boys winning a battle the theatre audience would cheer. The same thing would happen everytime the flag was shown. It was an interesting time for an 11 year old. I am glad that if a war like that had to happen, that I was of an age to remember some of it. A couple of other items.

Outdoor facilities for the DARCOM anniversary message signed this date from the Commander of pic- DARCOM: nics are inadequate for the . TV channels talking about the new drunk driving law. He proclaimed that if you are caught you stand to lose your license and have to take a course on drunk-drivin- g. Wow, I would like to see them take that course. Congrats to Spec 5 Carrie Szermeta on her degree from Edinboro State' College in Pennsylvania. She is a population of Dugway. The area behind Fries Park could be converted to provide for such activities and could be expanded to include a small .pond and waterslide which, if suggested .might be a popular recommendation. Finally, a question left unasked is the status of the ex- isting recreation facilities. Although soldiers are only a small portion of Dugway's population they deserve some consideration as the single soldier has no family, no house, and virtually no options. The Community Club Annex which is now a Pizza Lab Technician at the Clinic. Parlor has apparently be- come the Dugway Youth (Teen) Activity Center instead of being an informal social gathering place for the young soldiers at Dugway as it used to be. It has been the custom on military installations to offer the younger enlisted people a separate place to spend time together and Letter To The Editor It is gratifying to note in the Weekly Bulletin that concern has been expressed for the recreational facilities currently available at Dugway, however the questionnaire seems to be limited in the type of facilities being surveyed. The only form of facility addressed is motorized recreation areas. If true concern is to be shown for recreation facilities. a comprehensive approach would be more applicable to a post populated by different people with varied interests. Although Dugway has a private stable, those people who do not own horses must go to Tooele Army Depot to rent riding horses. Many people might be interested in a rental rid relax. Such peer-grou- p sharis not ing readily achievable in the. Community Club which is frequented by personnel of all ranks and ages. The Annex Pizza Parlor is no longer a viable option due to the local teen populace cen- tering their activities there. Following is the text of . "DARCOM's 21st anniver-- sary, August 1, 1983, is an occasion to celebrate com-- : ' mand achievements in support of the soldier and in service to our nation. "Those achievements have contributed in no small mea- sure to the attainment of total Army goals, particularly in the areas of readines, materiel, future development and management. They reflect our concerted effort moto meet the equipment ' dernization challenge termed as second only to manning the force. We have met that challenge with great success. "Our accomplishments provide ample evidence of the outstanding talent, professionalism and dedication of the men and women, military and civilian, who make up our large but cohesive DARCOM family. They form the basis of our resolve to meet future challenges with even greater determination, ingenuity and skill, in the knowledge that our accomplishments comprise a substantial contribution to the security of our nation and its allies. "This 21st anniversary ob- servance also gives me an opportunity to express deep appreciation to all of you for the success of your indivi- dual endeavors. Each of you, no matter your role, participates fully in accomplishing DARCOMs vital mission -providing high quality sup- port to the American dier." - (DARNEWS) sol- Newscaster'accorded full military honors A full honors military funeral for ABC news anchorman Frank Reynolds was held at Arlington National Cemetery on Saturday, July 23. A Staff SgL assigned to the 319th Infantry, 80th Division 'during WWI, Reynolds received two purple hearts and four battle stars. President Reagan and many of the late anchormans colleagues attended the funeral. , This will be especially true if beer sales are eliminated from the Annex. As a Youth Activity Center already exists for the teens on Dugway it might be more appropriate to rededicate the Annex to the soldiers for whom it was originally constructed. ILT. GayneUe L.
