It may even benecessary to go back and redefine the sequence.The preparation of instructors' notes is thetenth and final step. As the author will probablynot be the only user, instructors' notesmust be provided with each sequence. Thesenotes should contain the following information— title, aim or objectives, duration, knowledgewhich the students are required to have beforethe sequence is shown and preparation requiredof the instructor. This includes the provisionof stores and perhaps the preparation of problemsto be used in the sequence. Any followup activities should also be included.Existing stocks of film strips, or film stripspurchased commercially, may be converted toaudio visual sequences by cutting and mountingin slide mounts.' 1 Commentaries, eitherexisting or formulated can be added. Anotherimportant source of very useful slides is thepersonal slide collections of individual soldiers,and many soldiers are prepared to loan theseslides for instructional use. They can be incorporatedin'o an instructors sequence and maysave valuable preparation time.In conclusion it may be noted that audiovisual sequences are a very effective methodof varying instructional presentations. OneAmerican researcher states that in certaininstances automated instruction has accomplishedthe following:• raised student end-of-course proficiency.• provided instructors with an effectivemeans of dealing with individual differences,cimposed the attitudes of students towardslearning the subject matter.• made significant changes in the instructors'job,• in general reduced the time required totrain a student to a satisfactory level ofperformance.Q1NOTESArmy Journal No. 258.

ETHANGLTHE 6th COLUMN ?C 'haplain S. ./. HesseyWHEN General Mola was besieging Madridduring the Spanish Civil War (1937-39)his Army consisted of four columns of troopsoutside the city. But he declared that his supporterswithin the city constituted a fifthcolumn.The Army should have a constant interestin all things likely to establish, maintain, orthreaten its fundamental fitness. The 'Enemy'is seldom limited to the men and equipmentof the opposing force. Like the defenders ofMadrid we may have to contend with a fifthcolumn, and like any Army at any point inhistory we may have to contend with a sixthcolumn, the weakness within ourselves. It maybe argued that our use of the substance EthelAlcohol constitutes such a weakness. Therenow exists a small but highly informed groupwho understand in precise and scientific termsthe nature and effect of this substance. Theirfindings suggest that it is no longer goodenough to label all who question our drinkinghabits as "wowsers".This article seeks to draw attention to factsrelated to the use of Ethel Alcohol (Ethanol)and to encourage a wider recognition of itspower among us.Ethanol — The SubstanceIn its pure state a clear colourless liquidproduced in the natural organic cycle by theChaplain Hessey has been an Anglican priest for 20years in a variety of Pastoral and Special appointments,including chaplain of a Psychiatric Hospital,a girls' boarding school and in the CMF. For severalyears in Australia and North America he worked inMass Media Communication and was a delegate tothe World Anglican Congress in Toronto '63. AfterARA enlistment he served in Brisbane, with HRARin Vietnam and at Singleton with 3TB, Inf Centreand DSU. He holds a Diploma in Theology and ispresently studying for a Diploma of Religious Education.action of Yeast + Sugar = CO, + C 2 H,OH.Man first copied nature in contriving the processof fermentation to produce beverages withup to 16% Ethanol and then by distillationspirits with up to 96% Ethanol.Pharmacologically Ethanol is classified asan anaesthetic and thus its main action is onthe brain and central nervous system producinga progressive descending repression. Inother words it puts us to sleep. Ethanolbelongs to those substances classified as Drugs- (i.e. "a substance which when taken intothe body causes changes in thinking, feelingand behaviour"). Ethanol use is therefore partof our Drug Use and the problems of its abusea part of the general problem of Drug misusein our Society. Ethanol is a Drug of Addiction( "compulsive repeated use resulting inharm to the user and those about him").Between 5% and 10% of our populationare alcoholics ( Ethanol dependants) a muchlarger number suffer from "Grog Strife". 1 Thiscan occur in any or all areas of life — domestic,social, legal, health or employment.Ethano! in the SystemUnlike food, which must be digested, Ethanolis absorbed directly and rapidly into the bloodstream.Unlike food, which the body needs.Ethanol is automatically eliminated. TheC.R.OH molecule is very small compared toother Drugs and this aids its absorption. Eliminationoccurs in small quantities via the breath,perspiration and the kidneys. Mostly (90%) ithas to be 'oxidised' by the liver. This occursat a fixed rate. For the average man this worksout at about lOg per hour.Remarkably, civilised man pours his drinksin standard measures related to the % ofEthano] in the beverage. A standard 10 oz.beer, 4 oz. table wine, 2 oz. Port, or 10 oz. ofspirits all contain just on 10g of Ethanol. If
