Billy Williams Gets Physical ★ ★ ★
Combat Proficiency Award
FT. BENNING, GA. - Private
William C. Willllams, Jr., 19,
son of Mrs. Bette J. Johnston,
Route 6, Covington, Ga., has been
awarded a plaque for scoring
highest in his company on the
physical combat proficiency test
(PC PT) at the U. S. Army Train
ing Center, Infantry.
Private Williams, Company B,
4th Battalion, Ist Brigade, earned
the award by scoring the maxi
mum 500 points on the test. His
perfect score admitted him to
the Training Center’s exclusive
“500 Club.’’
The PCPT consists of five
individually scored events—one
mile run, run-dodge-jump, 40-
yard low crawl, man-carry and
horizontal ladder.
These events have been care
fully chosen to demonstrate the
most significant areas of st
rength and stamina necessary to
the Infantryman.
The Training Center was esta
blished at Ft. Benning, Sept. 15,
1965, and since December 1965
has graduated more than 163,000
soldiers from basic combat train
ing.
Ft. Benning has other functions;
hosts other units. Yet, its basic
mission—making better combat
infantrymen—still dominates.
Private William’s wife, Caro
lyn, lives with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. C. T. Head, Route 1,
Covington.
Following completion of basic
combat training, Private Wil
liams was promoted to pay grade
E-2 under an Army policy provid
ing incentive for outstanding tra
inees. He has been assigned to
Ft. Knox, Ky., for advanced in
dividual training.
Cigarette Smoking
Law In Illinois
Have you read about the clear
law against smoking cigarettes
in the state laws of Illinois? It’s
been on the books since 1907
and here is what it says:
“Every person who shall
manufacture, sell or give away
any cigarette containing any sub
stance deletrious to health, in
cluding tobacco, shall be punished
by a fine not exceeding SIOO.OO
or by imprisonment in the coun
ty jail for a period not to ex
ceed 30 days.”
This law has been on the Illi
nois state law books for 62 years,
but in late years, certainly, it
hasn’t been enforced and most
Illinoisians don’t even know it’s
there. The reason is that so
many people smoke cigarettes
that the authorities don’t even try
to enforce it.
