National Guard
“On Guarg”
Sunday morning, April 5, 1959,
twenty-nine guard members re
ported for drill and began prepar
es for a platoon tactic? problem.
During the morning a problem was
staged in the Fort Ambercrombie
area, ending around noon with a
live fire exhibition. Among the
weapons fired were the .30 caliber
machine gun, Browning automatic
rifle and the M-l. Mess was held
in the field under tactical condi
tions. Due to the heavy snow fall,
the Company advanced back to the
Armory, where the men cleaned
all weapons that were fired.
In a Special Order passed down
from the Office of the Adjutant
General, 2nd. Lt. Jerry Valen, lo
cal CO was named President of
the local Armory Board. 2nd. Lt.
Robert Boko was named second
member, and Leon Johnson was
selected as the civilian board mem
ber.
Due to a recent slackness in
number of men attending drills,
Lt. Valen introduced a new SOP
(Standard 0 per a ting Procedure)
into the company. In effect it
stated that any unexcused absen
ces or AWOL’S would be dealt
with more harshly than previously,
either by reduction in grade or
given a General Discharge as cir
cumstances may dictate.
On Monday, April 6, the Com
pany Commander gave an orien
tation lecture on what classes will
be given at Encampment Some of
the classes and activities he listed
were: Squad tactics; firing for re
cord. wUh-individuaT weapons on
the range; a night problem; orga
nized athletics; and on the last
day of camp, pay call. At the
meeting thirty-three men were
present or accounted for. Two new
men enlisted in to the unit. They
were Walter Cohen and Dave Ful
ler. This brings the total enlist
ment to four officers and forty
four enlisted men.
Master Sergeant Clifford E. Bry
ant, U.S. Army Advisor, arrived
Monday to form the units quart
erly inspection. He left for An
chorage on Thursday’s flight.
IT’S A FACT

of the Guard ih 1940, doubled the
strength of our Army.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Q. I am a widow 63 years of
age. My husband died 5 years ago
and I collected a payment on his
social security then. I’ve also
worked under social seeuurity my
self. Do I have to take a reduction
in these payments because I'm
not yet 65? Please advise me.
A. No, if you apply for your
widow’s payments on your own
work record you may choose
whichever payment you desire to
receive. The decision is yours after
we give you a full explanation of
your rights.
Q. I am a widow 62 years of
age and I would like to apply for
my late husband’s social security.
Do I need proofs of age or mar
riage, or both?
A. You will need both. Also
bring in your late husband’s social
security number, yours if you have
one, and a death certificate.
Q. I was 62 in October of this
year and I’m not sure whether
I should file now for reduced

I haven’t worked for 2 years. Will
I lose any money by delaying my
decision?
A. You have until the end of
October next year to make up
your mind and not suffer any, loss
