received advanced training in the
field of ammunitions. Late in
May, he got his orders for South
east Asia, and by the end of June,
he was on his way around the
world. He had no idea that he
and his Air Forcebrother-in-law
would be anywhere near each
other.
Upon his arrival at Camp Al
pha, Private Hicks was assigned
to the 576th Ordinance Company
and he was sent to Long Bink,
one of the largest Ammunition
Storage Depots in the world.
Long Bink is only a short distance
from Saigon and Pvt. Hicks knew
that Airman Gwin was stationed
at Bien Hoa which is a Command
Post about twenty-five miles
from Saigon. He was elated to
find out th.it he was only seven
miles from Bien Hoa! Pvt. Hicks
was allowed to go to Bien Hoa
since the area between the two
camps was a relatively quiet one.
His meansof transportation was a
“tambretta’ , which is much like
the small motorized cars our
door to door mailmen use.
It was a happy reunion for these
two so far from home. Airman
Gwin had not seen anyone he knew
in over six months, and he had
been able to call his wife only
once during that time. The only
commercial telephone line is in
Saigon and that was, and still
remains to be off limits. They
spent most of their first visit
with Airman Gwin getting all the
first hand news from home. He
was especially anxious to hear
how his little girl, Tracy, was
doing. She was eighteen months
old when he left, so you can well
imagine that Pvt. Hicks had a lot
to tell.
They soon discovered how dif
ferent their two bases were.

journeyed to Bien Hoa as often
as his off duty time allowed him.
Since the recent political de

165,000 Rural
Youth Earned
School Money
Washington, D. C. —More than
165,000 rural youth earned back
to-school money and some ac
quired new job skills for future
employment through the Neigh
borhood Youth Corps program in
1966, Secretary of Labor W.
Willard Wirtz and Secretary of
Agriculture Orville L. Freeman
reported.
Thousands of other rural youth,
many of them from low-income
families, were employed this
summer under the President’s
Y’outh Opportunity Program.
Secretary of Labor Wirtz said
that the Neighborhood Youth
Corps program brought almost
SBO million into the rural eco
nomy-more than double that for
the year before-
Neighborhood Youth Corps
projects, sponsored by public
or private nonprofit agencies,
help under privileged youths, ages
16 to 21, stay in school or earn
money to return to school. The
Federal Government pays up to
90 percent of the cost, with the
sponsor contributing 10 percent.
Programs to give youths sum
mer or year-round employment
were sponsored by farmer
cooperatives, soil conservation
districts, rural electric cooper
atives, State extension offices,
Department of Agriculture agen
cies, and other organizations
working with the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.

DDD Now Makes
It Possible For
Overseas Call
Telephone customers in Cov
ington will be able to dial their
own calls to an overseas point
for the first time when direct
distance dialing is formally in
augurated September 19 between
the continental United States and
the U. S. Virgin Islands.
Ray V. Reece, manager for
Southern Bell in Covington, said
customers here will be able to
dial directly to telephones in
the Virgin Islands of St. Thomas,
St. Croix and St. John without
the assistance of an operator.
Mr. Reece said that while U.S.
mainland telephone subscribers
may now dial directly to tele
phones in Canada, they must go
through either an overseas or
long distance operator to call
other points outside the country.
“Inauguration of direct dis
tance dialing service to the Vir
gin Islands represents a signifi
cant step forward in that it fore
shadows the day when calling
someone overseas—for example,
in London or Paris—will be as
easy and as fast as calling some
one across town,” Mr. Reece
said. He added:
“Telecommunications experts
from many nations, including the
United States, are hard at work
developing plans which will make
it possible in the future for per
sons anywhere in the world to
dial one another directly. The
introduction of DDD to the Vir
gin Islands illustrates the con
cept they have in mind.”
When the new service is in
augurated, Mr. Reece said that
Covington telephone subscribers
will be able to reach Virgin Is
lands by dialing the assigned
area code — 809 — and then
the number desired at St. Tho
mas, St. Croix or St. John. Con
versely, telephone users in the
islands will be able to dial di
rectly to telephones in the U.S.
mainland#
The Bell Telephone System
first introduced direct distance
dialing to speed long distance
calls in Englewood, N. J., Nov.
10, 1951. DDD was introduced
in Covington in October, 1960.
Today, customers here can dial
their own calls to about 100
million telephones in the United
States and Canada.
As direct distance dialing has
expanded, Mr. Reece said, it has
substantially reduced the time
required to make a long dis
tance call. He said it now takes
an average of about 15 seconds to
complete a transcontinental long
distance connection, compared to
14 minutes in the 1920’s and two
minutes in 1951 before DDD was
introduced.

“STOP KILLING YOURSELF"
Abdominal Support
FOR LONGER LIFE
Why do widows outnumber
widowers? To the traditional team
of work and worry, long branded the
guilty pair, weight has been so
strongly linked by science that diet
ing, once a woman’s pastime, has
become a male preoccupation.
And now comes evidence that
it isn’t just the paunch, but the sag,
that brings on the pallbearers —that
the girdles that give the ladies their
girlish figures may also be extending
their lives.
The idea that control under
shorts, tightening the abdominal mus
cles and expanding the chest, im
prove not merely appearance but
health isn’t exactly a new one. Long
before modern drugs came on the
market, doctors prescribed abdomi
nal belts for men with heart ailments.
But new research, reported in <
the Journal of the American Med
ical Association, tends to show that
the new drugs may be no more ef
fective than the old-fashioned belt —
or the modern control shorts. Scripps
Institute scientists found that “ap
plication of the belt previous to
exercise reduced or prevented the
abnormal postexercise increase in the
amplitude of the A-wave of the apex
cardiogram," just as popularly-pre
scribed glyceryl trinitrate.
How do control shorts help
the heart? One famed medical writer,
Dr. P. J. Steincrohn, writes that it ■
helps the circulation of the blood,
and “thereby takes an unnecessary
load off the heart. And when one
multiplies this by the heartbeats
which add up to a few billion in the
normal lifetime, one can understand
how a simple abdominal support
might add years to a man’s life.’’
Many doctors are suggesting
the increasingly popular new types
of men’s control shorts to their pa
tients, and finding back and breath
ing as well as circulation benefits.
The most popular type, Mandate,,
“underwear that slims,” meets the
Medical Journal’s prescription of a
belt "tightly applied to the abdomen
in such a manner thaf it does not
disturb the patient's respiration or
produce discomfort.’’
