Federal Women's Day was a day toreaffirm the goals of our counfry and govern-ment to provide a chance for everyone toyoTl., to suiceed or fail on one's individualabilities.

We are entering a time when the youngadults from the baby boorn of the 1950s arebeing replaced by those from the dwindlingbirth rate of the 1960s. There are fewer youngmen today, and the numbers are expected tocontinue to decline into the 1SOs.

The solution is at hand, however: ex-panded use of women. The services arecontinuing efforts to increase the numbers ofcivilian and military women.

Presently. 32 percent of civilian em-ployees in the Air ForCe alone are women. Themajority of them work in general-schedulefields, most in grades r- through 4, insecretarial or clerical jobS. Historically, few*oqen haVe _pursued -care-ers

Within the Defense Mapping Agencywomen are an important part of theprofessionat cartographic work'force as wellas the non-professional positions in theagency.- Inlreasing opporturities for women arenot just a matter of supporting equal treat-ment, It's sound business.

Air Force space and missilesystems research, developmentand acquisition elements will berealigned Oct. 1. The Space andMissile Systems Organization inLos Angeles will be deactivated.TVo new organizations will beestablished within the Air ForceSystems Command: the BallisticMissile Office and the SpaceService Division.

Officials said the realignmentreflects the increasing importanceof the development of a new land-based intercontinental ballisticmissile, the MX, and the expandedrole of Air Force space activities.The realignment will streamlineorganization structure and con-tribute to increased managementefficiency.

The Ballistic Missile Office atNorton AFB, Calif., will haveprimary responsibility for thedevelopment of the MX, a new,survivable, land-based in-tercontinental ballistic missile

expected to begin deployment in1986. The office will also beresponsible for current development efforts regarding Minutemanand Titan ICBMs and advancedballistic missile technology.

The Space Service Division willassume the space-related ac-tivities previously the respon-sibility of SAMSO. A realignmentof its mission operations elementson the East Coast and West Coastwill also be implemented.

An Eastern Space and MissileCenter will be formed at PatrickAFB, Fla. The Western Space andMissile Center will be at Van-denberg AFB, Calif. Both willreport to the commander of theSpace Service Division through anew, as yet unnamed, unit atVandenberg.

The planned reorganization is arealignment of current functions.Personnel actions will be minimal.No reduction in force at anylocation is planned.

People trying to get more milesper gallon from their cars may findthe following tips from the TexasOffice of Traffic Safety can in-crease gas mileage up to 25 Per-cent.

Keep the engine clean. A dirtY,clogged air filter causes engines toburn more gas. Check the air filterby holding it up to a light. If youcan't see light through it, rePlaceit.

Regular oil filter replacementand properly inflated tires canalsocontribute significantly.

Don't drive with your foot on thebrake. Many people do this un-consciously. It makes the enginework much harder.

Don't gun the engine whenstarting. Jack rabbit starts eat upgas.

Don't drive faster than the speedlimit. Cars get 21 percent more gasmileage at 55 mph than carstraveling at 70. That's two extragallons in every 10.

Don't idle the engine. Cars wasteabout a quart of gas for every 15

minutes of idling.Car roof racks loaded with

baggage cause severe windresistance, which costs up to upercent more gas usage. If therack is necessary, pack the itemsin a wedge shape, putting thesmaller one up front and the largerones in the back.

When driving at high speeds,keep the windows rolled up ifweather permits. Windows that arerolled down cause aerodynamicdrag and decrease gas mileage. Onlong trips, lowered windows cancause as much loss as an airconditioner. For short trips andeveryday driving, though, airconditioners are a significant dragon mileage.

Electrical accessories consumegas indirectly. Radios, lighters,high-beam lights and rear-windowdefrosters activate the alternatorto recharge the battery, which inturn makes the engine workharder.
