"You just cannot inspect all the baskets in Vietnam," he says. YOU ALSO cannot stop every funeral service and look inside the coffin. This would be to make certain the coffin contains a dead body and not ammunition or other supplies to be dug up later for some planned Viet Cong project.

The guerilla presence is illustrated by the last field experience of Maj. Thomas. He was leading a night patrol of company size. Area covered was four miles long and three wide. It was protecting an emergency Allied forces encampment.

Maj. Thomas and the officers under his command had met at a prearranged place. They kneeled down over the map and were closely huddled together to cover the light of a cigarette lighter with which they intended to study it. THE INSTANT the light was made a shot rang out from somewhere. It shattered the leg of Maj.

He just returned from Vietnam. He gives an intimate view of the military puzzle called guerilla warfare. His tour was more than twice the usual length 27 months. His brother, Robert put in 24 months. His sister's husband, Maj.

Stanley Thomas had completed his first hitch of 13 months; was seven days into his second when he was evacuated with the loss of a leg. THE THREE accumulated one Silver Star, three Bronze Medals, one Vietnamese citation for gallantry, three Vietnamese service medals, three campaign medals and 14 campaign stars. Joseph Reitenour, Sgt. E5 96th Maintenance Battalion, worked on every type of military radio and served in every single province of South Vietnam. He remembers best April 23, 1967.

On that night a 105 mm shell came through the roof of the small shop where he was working. It did not explode. Of course, the rocket launcher was six miles away. But how was such a big gun brought within range of the compound? THERE was constant air a issance. There were land patrols day and night.

Joseph says the Viet Cong are believed to bring these guns in one piece at a time probably over several weeks of time. They as-semble them behind camouflage, at which, he says, the Viet Cong are superior artists. He describes situations where Allied Forces oc- FOR MAKING THIS THE GREAT EST CHRISTMAS SEASON AND THE GREATEST YEAR IN OUR 10 YEAR If Joseph Reitenour cupy the top of the mountain and also the valley below. But in between on the mountain side are the caves and tunnels of the Viet Cong. THEY ARE all but immune to bombing or artillery fire.

They have hospi-t a 1 and shops underground. If a copter or conventional plane comes within range of the mountainside it is likely to run into i dable anti-aircraft fire. How are these cave and tunnel fighters supplied? "No one knows," he says. Of course, they get along on very little. But they must have that little.

MILLIONS of baskets hang from the ends of poles carried by millions of Vietnamese. A glance, Joseph' says, indicates they are filled with rice, lettuce, clothing. Systematic searches sometimes reveal the presence in the basket of homemade mortar tubes and other kinds of ammunition If the contents are totally By VIRGIL CONNER APOPKA "A good school is one that meets the needs of the community" says Roger A. Williams, principal of Apopka Memorial High School (AMHS). In discussing the idea with Sentinel West, last week, Williams indicated AMHS is approaching this ideal.

The school has an enrollment this year of 1,600 students. This puts AMHS in the classification of a large high school, and the number is a factor under supervision of the DCT teacher and the student gets school credit for sat isfactory performance on the job. In the departments of basic knowledge, as English, mathematics and so-c 1 a 1 sciences, Williams says AMHS offers courses in variety that adequately train the student for college or business life. Some special emphasis Is put on science. "Science is of extreme importance in our space age," Williams says.

Students in grades 9-12 work in biology, physics and chemistry laboratories. DEMONSTRATION laboratories are provided in 7-8 grades. In these the teacher performs experiments be fore the class. Foreign language is also The most important asset we have in this business of ours is the good will of our customers. The most important job we have to do every day is to conduct our stores, and to serve our customers in such a way that we are entitled to their continuing good will.

Many of the people who are our customers now represent customers who started shopping with us in 1959 when we first opened. Many of the people we served during past year had never previously been customers of ours. Whether a brand new customer or one of 10 years standing when you enter our doors, you're our guest. The many nice people on the staff of our stores regard it as a pleasant part of their jobs to treat you with all the courtesy and friendliness to which any guest is entitled. We're extremely grateful to all of you who have helped make this our greatest year.

During this coming year we'll continue to do our best to serve you in a manner that makes us merit your continued patronage. Ip 7 3 1 enabling it to offer an impressive breadth of curriculum. SENTINEL WEST had asked Williams to give an outline of opportunities offered to students. The purpose was to publicize those school activities often overlooked. School administration consists of one principal and two assistant principals.

There are two guidance counselors and the program provides for a third. This third place not filled at the moment. Under administration also comes the athletic director. Among instructional de-partments Williams referred to that of agriculture as one of the best in the state. It goes into citrus culture, horticulture and muck farming.

LOCAL NURSERYMEN have cooperated by building, for the school, an acre of slat shed for instruction in growing those plants produced and shipped from this area. The commercial department gives elementary and advanced courses in bookkeeping, typing and stenography. Many graduates, Williams says, go out without further training to hold positions in business. Williams is gratified that the school offers advanced ses in automobile mechanics. THE DEPARTMENT of i i fied cooperative training (DCT) gives the student a schedule under which he can go to school half a day and work in commerce or industry the other half.

This work is emphasized. Courses are offered in Latin, French and Spanish. "I have been conscious for years of our need for Spanish," Williams said. "We have Spanish speaking people among us and air travel puts us within two hours of Spanish speaking countries." IN ADVANCED Spanish classes at AMHS nothing but Spanish is spoken either by teacher or pupil during class sessions. In the Industrial arts shopwork is offered in wood and leather.

Physical education, home making education are important departments. Completing the driver education course entitles the student to a reduced rate on his automobile insurance. THS MUSIC department fields a marching band that rates "superior" in state meets. And a creditable glee club is also in that department. "Th ese facilities have been outlined above," said Williams, "to give patrons an Idea of our efforts to develop a school that meets the needs of the community."
