President Stresses Nondiscrimination In Recreation Units
A memorandum from the Secre· tary of Defense was distribu ted thi':i month to all government installations in the Department of Defense emphasizing President Kennedy's directive on his nondiscrimination policy concerning military and civilian employee recreational organizations.
Personnel are advised of the contents of the directive by the following ,excerpt from the SecNav memorandum:
"Discrimination based on race, creed, color, or national origin by employee recreational organization~ is contrary to the purpose and spirit of Executive Order 10925, March 6, 1961.
"No employee recreational organization which practices discrimination based on race, creed, color, or national origin will be permitted to use the name of, or be sponsored by the Department of Defense. No facility of activity of the Department of Defense will be availabl~ to such organization.
"The foregoing applies to all facilities and activities of the De · partment of Defense, including those financed from nonappropriat · ed funds and to all recreational organizations composed of full-time civilian and military personnel in the Department of Defense. This policy is effective immediately."

J. R, Felton Earns PhD, in Economics
J. R. (Dick) Felton, Education Director in the Employee Develo pment Division of P ersonnel Dcpartment, recently fulfilled all thf' requirements for his PhD in "Economics from UCLA. .
His dissertation explored the ex· perience with, the rationale and implications of, and the alternatives to The Horizontal Dissolu-
Dr. J . R . F elto n
t ion of Manufacturing Enterprises u nder the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Felton also received his B.A. and M.A. from UCLA where he was a teaching assistant in economics while pursuing graduate work. He t aught at San Diego State College, where he was an assistant professor.
Prior to coming to NOTS in M arch, 1953, he ,vas Director, Lo3 Angeles Branch, W age Stabilization Board. During his first two and one-half years here he served as ;Head, Systems and P rocedures DiviSion , then a function of Command Administration Department. He assumed his present position iii August. 1955.
T he Felton family consists of his wife, Kay, a fourth grade teacher at Vieweg School , and Jimmy and Joyce who attend Murray School.
taining the club and their willingness to actively participate in furthering youth activity within the center.
The RAFT Club was officially opened ]'1ay 2, 1958. Funds to convert the old Chapel to the present youth center and operating expenses for the past three years have been borne by the Navy Recreation Council.
Currently, annual operating costs alone total approximately $8,000. The benefits derived by this expenditure are available to local young men and women between the ages of 13 and 20, however, only approximately 150 of these people participate in the organization.
Based on current costs for gen· eral r ecreation, it is Command's feeling that the cost per capita is excessive and therefore, if the rate of participation does not increase, the only alternative is disestablishment.
Since membership in the RAFT Club consists largely of civilian youth, it seems logical that their parents or guardians make th~
necessary effort to maintain an excellent youth program.
As Command's position on the continuation of the RAFT Club is very clear, it is the community's opportunity to make its desires known on the matter.
T he Community Council needs to know the views of Station resi-dents on the following questions in order to convey the realistic attitude of the community to Station Command:
• Do you think there is a need fo r a youth rec reation center?
• Are you willing to support s uch a center?
• Are you satisfied with the present operation?
• If not, what improvements would you suggest?
• Would you be willing to fin ancially support the operations of a youth center, and also assume the responsibilities associated with its operation?

As Capt. Hollister announced his readiness to be reI i eve d. Capt. Blenman stepped to the reviewing stand to mai{e his address. Capt. Blenman said in part:
"It is a great honor for me to have been selected as the next Commander of the Naval Ordnance Test Station which has made, and will continue to make, so many outstanding contributions to the E-ecurity of our country.
\Vork Toward Su ccess "The outstanding record of NOTS
in the fields of weaponry and science is no accident. It is be~
cause a brilliant and dedicated group of men and women have been provided a fertile place in which to work , live, and play; a place where their ideas and dreams can be transformed into useful substance.
''NOTS is a unique Station. It is one of the very few in the Navy where the philosophy has been that it is primarily a civilian operation which we in the military support. I assure you that this philosophy will be continued."
Exacting Guidance I n conclusion Capt. Blenman
paid tribute to Capt Ho1lister for his service to the Station and the comm unity for t he past three and one-ha lf yea rs in t he same outstanding, dedicated , and unselfish manner as he se rved t he Navy and his count ry du ring the past 30 years.

At the r ecen t m ce ting of th American Society of Public Ad· ministrators, newly ins ta lled presi dent Fred N atha n out lined the needs in the public administration area to boost the pres tige of t he profession.
He cited for the m embership the things t hey might do. His exa mples were: Mem bers o f t he society by thei r contact a nd persona l conduct can change the public's ima ge of the civil servant.
T he status a nd prestige of t ht' profess ion is de pe ndent upon ex· a m ples set by m embe rs in the fi eld of public adminis tration.
On the local scene he urged that g reater recognition be g iven the cont r ibutions of the non- technical administrato r. This would add to the admin isl rato r's prest ige both on a nd off t he Station, he s tated.
On the national scene he urged all members to participate in t he Society's nationa l progra ms.

Feline Reigns As Queen Of the Dam Night Shift
By Carney D. Kaerner
\'(Te didn't get the full story of the conversation between Bill Matheison, Test Mechanic at Morris Dam, and "Fluffy," Queen of the night shift, in the picture above.
W e did discover a few t hings "the best darned night watchman about F luffy on Armed F orces Day in this man's Navy." The last line howeve r, s uch as - occas ionally is a direct quote from a ll the boys she indicates by wor d of pu rr that in the Mor ris Da m Propulsion Lab. s he'd transfer out of t he joint if l he food weren't so good. But of course she is reluctant to leav~
a ll her budd ies to carry on alo ne . E ve n k itties have big dec isions to m a ke .
Fluffy doesn't have security clearance - not even a black badge, but then t he boys in the Propuls ion Lab all vouch fo r hel' loya lty. She neve r breathes a word of wha t they say - as a matter of fact sbe limi ts he r convers ation to a lusty "MEOW" for her daily doughnut (she likes 'em pla in ) a nd her soft purr for a ll those cannell good ie! on the shelf with h er nam (! on them. Of course, she believes in sharing - she shares her compa ny (or a few bites of the ir home cooked lunch too.
W e doubt that she rea lly catche~ mice - she just isn' t the type. She probably gives them a good chase for exercise now and then. How else can a girl keep her figure.
Nobcdy knows just what she does a t night - she eats and sleeps a nd purrs all day. W e presume that she stays on in the domain of noises and smells, guarding her e mpire after the lights go out, fo r there has been nary R.
coyote venture in to the a rea since s he a rrived.
So if for the wa nt of som ething bette r to do, you dec ide t o call Morris Dam Propulsion Lab some night, a nd you get a lus ty "MEOW" - its not g remlins, it's just Fluffy
