six months he served as a

The remainder of his four
was spent in the special
forces headquarters as a psy
chological operations officer.
This position involved the
news or propaganda from the
United States’ standpoint to
explain why we are there.
Major Houser’s job was to
prepare guidance papers and
tailor each one to fit the four
different corps in Vietnam
as the areas are so different
ethnically and geographical
ly.
He recalls that this too was
a challenge for him in his ef
forts to serve his country.
A graduate of the United
States Military Academy, the
class of 1957, he has comman

as a weapons instructor at Ft.
Henning. He was stationed in

Statement On
The Need
Is Issued
(Editor’s note — The follow
ing is a statement by Governor
Dan K. Moore endorsing over
eighty community United Way
Campaigns this fall. The com
bined goals in North Carolina
will exceed $10,500,000.)
In late September and ear
ly October, United Way Cam
paigns will get underway in
76 North Carolina communi
ties. Overall, something in ex
cess of $11,000,000 will be
sought and raised to support
many vital programs of ser
vice. We value the contribu
tion being made by our Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts, our
Y.M.C.A.’s and other youth
serving organizations. We ful
ly expect that essential ser
vices will be readily available
to troubled families, to the
aged and the homeless, to
the mentally ill and the phys
ically incapacitated, and to a
host of others who require
special assistance in a time
of need. We can feel fortunate
in our capability to provide
necessary services to alleviate
suffering and need today
while seeking solutions
through research and com
munity action to avoid similar
problems in the years ahead .
In 1967, we witnessed the ov
erwhelming effects of natural
disaster. Floods, fires, torna
does and hurricanes caused ma
jor damage and disruption in
many areas of our country. The
continuing conflict in Viet Nam
has increased the demands for
service from the U. S. O. and
the American Red Cross. Our
commitment to those who serve
must be the equal of theirs
in every respect.
Through your support of last
years United Way Campaigns,
these many services on so many
fronts were made possible. In
effect, you were there whenev
er your dollars were at work.
For 1968, I again ask you
to lend your full support to
■ this united effort. Be on hand
when and where the need
arises. It is important that
we be there — doing our
share. I commend the United
Way to you and hope you
will join me in welcoming the
campaign volunteer when he
calls on you at your home or
place of business.
