On Friday, June 27, Sgt.
Thomas Tripple, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Clyde Tripple, of
Pinkerton Road, who is re-
cuperating at Camp Zama
from injuries sustained while
in action in VietNam with
the U. S. Army, had an un-
expected caller,
His visitor was Harry F.
Brooks, son of Mrs. Thelma
M. Bowman, 739 West Main
St., Mount Joy.
“I was happily surprised
to find Tom in the Camp
Zama NCO Club, instead of
in a hospital bed, having
been patched up and now
doing physical therapy daily
—baseball and basketball,”
said Harry who is assigned
with the 6921 Security Wing
in northern Japan. Tom was
hit in the arm and has a scar
to prove it. But, other than
that, he is in excellent
health and still growing tall-
er, or so it seems.”
Tokyo, Japan, was a
strange reunion for Harry
and Tom. Both are members
of Trinity Lutheran church,
Mount Joy, and both as boys
were active in Boy Scout
Troop 39 under Scoutmaster
Harold Etsell. But now, they
are in the military. Tom is
a U. S. Army seargant with
the 9th Division previously
stationed at Tantru in the
Mekong Delta and Harry is
a U. S. Air Force sergeant,
stationed in Japan with the
6921 Security Wing.
“In Nam we worked out
of a base camp and didn’t
have it as rough as the guys
up North; we were down in
the Delta. We had hot chow
for breakfast and supper and
carried a K-ration for lunch
while out in the paddies,”
said Tom. Tom and another
friend, who had been up
North, expressed their hatred
for the booby traps that are
the most dangerous --thing
they face in Nam. Because,
as they said, you can walk
all day and nothing and then
when you least expect'it —
“Boom!”—and you're hit.
Both soldiers gave high
ucation while still doing an
exemplary job for the gov-
ernment.”
Thelma entered the pro-
gram September, 1963, while
an employee of Olmsted Air
Force Base. After five years
of constant studying from
September to June, except
for one year leave of ab-
sence, a dream became a
reality when = she went to
the University of Oklahoma
recently to receive her Bach-
elor of Liberal Studies de-
gree.
It was a long and arduous
struggle and there were sev-
eral occasions when she was
ready to give up but, accord-
ing to Thelma, “Receiving
the degree made it all worth-
while.” :
Thelma, who lives at 5
S. Market St., began her
government career Feb. 21,
1949, as an administrative
assistant in the Comptroller’s
Office at Olmsted Air Force
Base. She transferred to New
Cumberland Army Depot in
May, 1965, where she was
assigned to the Data Systems
Directorate as a computer
programmer trainee.
To earn a Bachelor of Lib-
eral Studies degree from the
University, a student must
complete four phases of stu-
dy—the Humanities, the So-
cial Sciences, the Natural
Sciences, and an Inter Area
Study. Each phase takes an
average of one year with a
maximum of two years al-
lowed.
To encourage more em-
ployees to further their edu-
cation, the government pays
about half of the $600 annual
tuition and a portion of the
$300 fee for each seminar,
Visits Wounded Friend
praise for the helicopters.
Tom’s friend told about a
buddy who was hit by a
shrapnel fragment that cut
him through the neck. In
only three minutes a heli-
copter had evacuated him.
Tom added, “It took them 45
minutes to get me out!” The
helicopters and our air sup-
port are tremendous. Both
fellows said that their medi-
cal attention was good.
Tom admitted that the
meals served at Camp Zama
were a lot more satisfying
than the chow they had in
Nam. Since Tom's recovery
is almost complete, after a
session of combat retraining,
he will be re-asigned to his
outfit.
Harry was in Tokyo on a
threeday pass from his unit,
which is in northern Japan
on the main island of Hon--
shu.
The visit was a total sur-
prise to Tom because Harry
had telephoned Tokyo only
to check—not leaving any
message—that Tom was still
at Camp Zama. Harry’s mo-
ther had included a “Bul-
letin” clipping in one of her
letters. Then via a U.S.AF.
flight he “hopped” to Tachi-
kawa Air Base and from
there by Japanese train to
Camp Zama.
Camp Zama is a huge com-
plex of words, treatment
centers, therapy rooms, BX,
movie theatre, and green
grass surrounded by a 10-12
foot concrete - wall that
should keep out all of the
Japanese student peace riot-
ers.
The Japanese beetle spends
about 10 months of the year
in the ground in the form
of a white grub, and feeds
on the roots and under-
grown stems of plants, par-
ticularily grasses.
