tomer's specifications. A fur­ther requirement is that the mix design may be readily reo produced under field condi· tions and normal construction techniques. During construc· tion, which is related to the fabrication of new hard targ· ets for the ranges, Soils Lab representatives will be station· ed at the batch plant and con· struction site to monitor mois­ture, yield and other variables that affect the quality of the concrete.

Other tasks that are per· formed by this facility include the evaluation of soil for per· colation characteristics in or­der to determine the amount of water the soil will absorb; and classification of materials at the site so that engineers have adequate information from which to design engineer· ing foundations .

Under the direction of Willi· am G. Burke, Head of the Civ· iI Engineering Branch of Pub· lic Works' Engineering Divi· sion, the Soils and Materials Laboratory is the responsibili· ty of Harry Simpson. Simpson is aided in his labors by Bill Reed, a Materials Testing tech· nician .

School Summer Program To Start Schedules have been mailed

this week to pupils of the In· dian Wells Valley, Rand Joint and China La k e School Dis· tricts who have enrolled in the summer program sponsored by the Chi n a Lake Elementary School District.

The sessions will begin on Monday, July 6, and last for five weeks. A copy of the bus schedule will be included for pupils who require transporta· tion. Additional enrollments will be accepted on opening day as space permits.

Children who will be going

into grades 1, 2, or 3 in Sep· tern b e r are eligible for the Primary program which will be held at Pierce (formerly De". ert Park), Groves St., Richmond and Vieweg schools, between the hours of 8 and 11:30 a.m.

The Elective program is de· signed for pupils who will be entering grades 4 through 8 in the next regular school year. These classes will be held at Murray School at China Lake each weekday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Pupils in the elective pro· gram may attend half days or

--

full days. Supervised lunch per i 0 d s

will be held during the hours of 11:30 to 12:30 and 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. The children may either buy their lunch at the snack bar or bring their lunch· es from home.

The hours of the Elective program were to start at 8 a.m., but the availability of the swim· ming pools at 7:30 a.m. made the change of hours necessary. Elective c I ass e s have been planned as closely as possible to those reque$ted.

Rlndsburg Pupils Transportation will be pro·

vided for pupils in both the primary and elective programs who live in Red Mountain, Jo· hannesburg, and the Rands­burg areas.

Busses from this area will pick·up and drop children from these areas at the Community Building in Johannesburg only, so parents will have · to provide transportation to and from that point. Departure time from Johannesburg will be at 7 a.m. Pupils from these areas will attend half-day classes only, and will he returned aft e r 11 :30 classes.

The cooking class proved so popular that it was necessary to open classes at the Rich· mond School Kitchen for some girls in the pre·6th, pre· 7th, and pre-8th grades. Bus trans· portation will be available from Murray Scbool to Richmond School and return except at 11:30.

Personnel Work To Put Center On Firm Foundations

A unique facility at tbe Nav· al Weapons Center is the Soils and Materials ' Testing Labora· tory which is operated by the Public Works Department .

Located in Building No. 37 and run by the Civil Engineer· ing Branch of the PW's Engi· neering Dept. the lab is de· signed to test construction rna· terials, determine various rna· terial characteristics relating to facility design, and to serve as a control point for Center construction and maintenance An additional function of the Soils Lab is to serve in a con· suiting capacity to other codes on the Center and to aid them with related guidance concer­ning their respective research projects.

As an example, the Lab was requested by Code 40 to con· duct soil tests in connection with the Deneye program. Spe· cifically, tests were made to determine the behavior of the weapon on impact in certain soils. In . place density, grain size analysis, soil classification and moisture determinations were made on various types of soils that were used in connec· tion with the technical pro· gram.

Exploration of the suitabili· ty of borrow pits as a base material for concrete and as· phalt surfaces is also a very important function of the Soils and Materials Laboratory. In addition, continuous road eval· uation, in which the new est type of seal coats and the lat· est improvements in repair methods are used , is another constant chore. The Center's roads, w h i c h total approxim· ately 400 miles, demand con· tinual vigilance in order to ec· onomically maintain the vas t network of roadway.

The Lab also has the respon· sibility for testing all concrete placed by contract and by Public Works. To do this, four cylinders are drawn from each 20 yards of concrete poured . These cylinders are the n checked at various intervals to check conformance of the rna· terial to contract specifica· tions.

Personnel of the Lab a Iso design special concrete mixes (such as for heat . resisting structures). For example, the Laboratory will play a signifi· cant role in the design of a highly· controlled type of con· crete mix for which there has been an unusual request. The speCifications on this special mix call for a minimum com· pressive strength and a maxi· mum compressive strength.

To do this, the laboratory technicians will evaluate the characteristics of the mix com· ponents and proportion these components to meet the cus·

Wair Hypnotizes BPW .1 The science of hypnotism

was the subject of a Wk by Phyllis Wair, before an inter. ested audience of China Lake Business and Professional W 0-men recently.

Mrs. Wair, who spoke on the benefits and uses that . could be derived from hypnotism, stated that "many medical and psychological conditions can be cured by the proper use of this media. It is not the mystic oc· cult that some unenlightened people in past years have fear­ed."

She went on to say that "Hypnotism is not a state of sleep, but a state of supera­wareness of anything that goes on-the smell of smoke in a burning building, or the quick­ened shadow on a wall. If you are completely concentrating on anything," she advised, u you are in a state of hypnosis."

According to Mrs. Wair "im­measurable good has been ac­complished by the application of the science." "Not all," she counseled, "but a great many physically and mentally ill peo­ple have bee n alleviated of their ills through the directed

. use of hypnosis."

The history of hypnosis is as ancient as that of s6rcery, ma­gic and medicine, Mrs. Wair said. Its scientific history be­gan in the latter part of the 18th Century with Franz A. Mesmer, a Viennese physician who used the art. When James Baird, an English physician be­came interested in the science, he recognized its psychological nature and gave the names "hypnotism" and hypnosis," to the early art, she explained.

Mrs. Wair is a member of the American Institute of Hypnosis,

Center Provides Varied Recreational Programs

(Continued from Page 5) Another major recreation

center is the beautiful China Lake Golf Club. Fully associ­ated with the Southern Califor­nia Golf Association, the CLGC offers China Lake residents a first-rate championship course. Open from sunrise to sun set throughout the summer, the golf course is one of the fin­est in the Mojave Desert.

The- course originally open­ed as a 9-hole layout in 1956 and was enlarged to its pres­ent 18-hole format in May, 1962. The 6,776-yard, par 72 course now benefits from an automatic watering system on the front nine that was com­pleted in February, 1969.

The course and remodeled pro-shop run by pro Paul Som­eson serve China Lake golfers throughout the year. M 0 r e than 250 golfers dot the fair­ways any weekend. The course is closed Mondays for greens­keeping and watering.

Intramural SpOrtl Perhaps the most popular of

the Special Services programs are the intramural leagues in football , basketball, volleyball, snfthon. eolf. anrl other indio vidual sports. Military and ci­vilian teams compete through regularly scheduled, round-ro­bin seasons with all - s tar teams pic ked to represent NWC in 11th Naval District and Mojave Desert Interserv­ice League competition.

Under the direction of Bill Nicol,. intramural sports di~ec­tor, more than 500 games and mat c h e s are played every year. The weight room, sauna bath and swimming pool in the Center Gym draw 300 people a day.

Closely associated wit h the Gym are the Center's six light. ed tennis courts, slated to be resurfaced and relighted later this year. Also in the planning stages are two handball courts.

At the Center Theater four movies a week are shown. Ray Schultz, theater manager, says attendance at the theater ex­ceeds 10,000 pat ron s per month. The 1096-seat facility is also used for concerts, lec­tures and the Miss Ridgecrest­China Lake pageant.

One of the most prosperous of the Special Services activi­ties is the Youth Center, run by youth Director 'Marty Den­kin and Program D ire c tor Carol Hape.

For a small yearly fee, Chi­na Lake teenagers can partic­ipate in various athletic and recreational programs. y outh Center membership is now ap­proaching 800, double the membership of iust a year ago.

The Youth Center, too, has been recently rem 0 del e d. Completed earlier this spring, the remodeled youth Center provides ping pong tables, pool tables, shuffleboard and other games, as well as out· door facilities.

Hobby Shopi Among the other Special

Services activities are the Cen­ter's four hobby shops - auto, e era m i e s, electronics and woodworking. All four shops offer NWC residents quality materials at discount prices, as well as the use of expen­sive equipment that the aver­age individual could not af· ford.

The Auto Hobby Shop is op· en to active duty and retired military personnel and the i r dependents (over 16) only, but

is one of the most popular ac­tivities. Troy Ott, manager of the shop, and his assistant Bob, Meinking, serve 50 to 100 cus­tomers a day. Newly enlarged, the Auto Hobby Shop now has 14 outside stalls and 7 inside stalls for all types of automo­bile work.

Aline Schad and her staff supply materials and valuable advice to patrons of the Cera­mic Hobby Shop. The s hop has a regular following of about 250 Center residents and is continually growing.

The Electronics Hobby Shop, under the guiding hand of Dan Harris, is a hub of activity for the Center's electronics handy­men. More than 100 people a month take advantage of these facilities.

Even more popular is the Woodworking Hobby S hop, which has more than 200 pa­trons a month. The shop is run by Doug Olver.

Community Center An oasis for various clubs

and for youth Center dances, the Community Center offers NWC residents a modern f:r cility for meetings or g r 0 u p get - togethers. Attendance at Community Center functions surpasses 40,000 persons per year. Also available at the Community Center is informa· tion and discount tickets to ma­ny recreation and sporting events in Southern California. Ann Seitz is the Community Center manager.

Overseeing all of these ac· tivities are Special Services di· rector Gabe rmer and - his right - hand man Ray G i e r, recreation director. Both rmer and Gier are retired military personnel with long - standing Special Service and athletic backgrounds.

To keep residents of China Lake informed on what's hap­pening in the community, Spe· cial Services takes advantage of several outlets.

rn addition to regular fea­tures in the Rocketeer, Special S e r vic e s publishes its own newsletter, the Recreation Rambler, which was beg u n on a makeshift basis in 1966. Now the Rambler is a regular bi-monthly publication mailed to every household at NWC and delLvered to the barracks of NWC, NAF, and VX-5.

Much of the information from the Rambler is capsuliz­ed and prepared for the Code­a-Phone, a telephone v 0 ice recording system Special Ser­vices has used for more than 18 months. Simply by calling 763-2411, a Center resident can find out quickly what is on tap for the week in Chi n a Lake.

To make sure Special Servo ices is keeping up the needs of China Lake residents, three groups ' have been established to help Special Services deter· mine the best ways to serve the Center.

The first is the 15 - member Joint Navy - Civilian Recrea­tion Council, headed by Com­mand Administration's Cdr. S. S. Bates. This group meets reg­ularly to review recreation programs conducted by Speci­al Services.

Also to ensure that Special Services is aware of the needs of China Lake's enlisted men, information is provided by the Recreation Committee, comp­osed of Chairman AK1 Robert McGhee and five other enlist­ed men.

Braun Shows Brawn As EI Ranchito Wins Pair

Dick Braun and Tom Haus don't play around. Braun slam­med five homers and Haus three last week, as El Ranchito and VX-5 showed unexpected power in the China Lake Soft· hall League season's six t h week.

Braun led EI Ranchito to a 12-2 shellacking of Ace TV, a 13-3 pounding of Triangle, and did his best to stave off defeat in El Ranchito's 4-3 loss to Union 76.

Braun drilled two homers in both of the first two games, added another against Union 76 and drove in 10 runs during the week.

Even tougher in the clutch was Haus, who hit a two-run homer as VX-5 lost to Union, 13-3, June 24, but then slapped two three-run homers and sin­gled in the winning run in the Vampires' 20-19 marathon vic­tory over Ace TV Monday night.

In all Haus drove in nine runs in two games. His seven­rbi performance against Ace was the best by any player this season and lifted VX-5 to its first victory since 0 p e n i n g night.

The 20-19 loss was also a milestone for former league leaders Ace TV. It marked the third loss of the week for Ace and dropped them three games behind league-leading Union 76.

tating Frank Howard, Union 76 used Maury Wills singles and doubles and good pitching to retain the league lead.

Bob Kochman threw a six­hitter at VX-5 while Wally Par­menter, Jim Ball, Bill Brad­berry and Associates were busy scoring runs in a 13-3 runaway.

Monday it was Bert Andrea­son's turn, and he shut EI Ran­cruto down with only five hits and three runs. Bradberry's first-inning single gave the 76ers a 2-0 lead, which they held until the sixth.

Then trailing 3-2 to EI Ran­chito pitcher Bill Brown, Union rallied on singles by Parmenter and Dave Taylor and a two-run error to take a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth. Andreason retired EI Ranchito in order in the seventh to preserve the vic­tory.

NAF's S t eve Whitrok and Steve Mushock kept the Hawks in the race with a 9-7 win over hard-luck Ace TV.

Whitrok gave up only two earned runs over seven innings of pitching, but errors lifted Ace to a 7-2 advantage going into the bottom of the seventh.

Danny Fuller's single, a walk to Tom Sebastian, an Ace error on Warren Turnbaugh's fly , a walk to Jim Latta, Lon Henke's double, and Mushock's game­ending home run carried the Hawks to a blitzkrieg seventh­inning victory.

Pat McDonald Joins USIA , Golf 'eam on Goodwill Tour of Japan

Pat McDonald, a former Bur­roughs High Golf star, and now a member of the California Western University champion­ship golf squad, will make a goodwill tour of Japan this month as one of six members of the United States Interna­national University golf team from Cal-Western.

The tour, which is designed to promote a "two-way ex­change of ideas and informa­tion," according to USIU athle­tic director Dr. Norris Patter­son, will consist of competition on various golf courses in Ja­pan by day, and a study of Japanese culture and society by night.

While at Burroughs, McDon­ald was a three·time recipient of the Burroughs High School's Most Valuable Golfer award, in addition to being named to the all-Golden League team in each of his four high school a~ade­mic years.

McDonald set the China ~ake Golf Club course record of 65

as a 17 year old student at Bur­roughs. McDonald, who will be a sophomore at Cal-Western next year, is working toward a business administration ma­jor.

Golf Club Skeds Flag Day Tourney

The China Lake Golf Club tournament com mit te e has scheduled a Flag Day Tourna· ment Saturday, July 4, at the local course. Golfers who de· sire to compete in this special tournament may participate by paying a $2 entry fee at the Pro Shop on that Saturday, at which time they will receive their flag.

Players are asked to make their own starting times and their own foursomes , but in order to be eligible for the tourney, two p I aye r s of the foursome must be entrants.

Bob Moore, Bill Poole and Ken Abplanalp pounded more than the ground as they led the Ground Pounders to a 3-1 win over the One Elevens. The run­away moved the Ground Pound­ers into third place in the standings.

Ra i.ed $8,825 LCdr. Partridge, coordinator of the Fund Drive, stated that this year's fund drive, which raised $8,825, was considered more successful than last year's due to the time element involved. Last year's fund drive raised more t han $10,000, but was eight weeks in duration. This year 's amount was raised in just five weeks.

"I feel a sp e ci a I mention should be made of the efforts of AT-I W. T. Ruffler, of the NAF Pro j e c t s Department, Chief W. C. Schimke, and Dick Rusciolelli, NWC Technical Presentations Coordinator, who .did a fine job for the Navy Re­lief Fund Drive. AT-I Ruffner collected in ex c e s s of 1,000 contributions in con n e c t ion with the automobile," LCdr. Partridge stated.

Safety Provides Checklist For Safe Holiday Planning

The fourth of July will bring a tbree-day holiday to most of the employees of the Naval Weapons Center. Plans will include visiting, sightseeing, traveling to the lake or staying home and picnicing.

We will read and hear about those injured or kill­ed during the holidays, but we . will hear very little about the people who took the bme to plan to arrIve home safely.

An example of planning for a safe arrival would be man's trip to the moon. A great deal of effort was spent to check possible hazards and how they could be eliminated or minimized.

While a vacation trip may never get this kind of scrutiny, the Safety Department suggests the use of the following checklist to help you make your week· end a time of enjoyment:

1. If you are traveling, check your car for hot wea­ther driving. This might include fan belt, radiator hose, tires (keep them inflated at recommended pres­sure). Is your spare tire ready to be used? Extra water for the radiator if you are driving in the moun· tains? Are you starting out rested or can you rest within a comfortable driving distance ? Don't forget to use your seat belts.

2. Suntan lotion, bandaids, antiseptic, a spray to keep flies and mosquito off while you are hiking or camping, and aspirin can help you be more com­fortable . Watch your exposure time in the sun if you haven't tanned.

3. Check on small children often, especially around water. Bright clothing helps them be seen if there is a possibility they might wander. Check camping sites for hazards for children and discuss these with them.

4. Swim only when you have a good swimmer or a life guard nearby. Stay out of treacherous water such as the Kern river below the dam.

5. If boating do carry a life preserver for each per­son.

6. Don't overdo. Many accidents happen when we are tired .

7. Be especially alert on your way back home.

Groups Encouraged To Make Use of Community Calendar

The main purpose of the In­dian Wells Valley Community Calendar, published monthly by the Community Relations Assistant, Code 0231, is to make Valleyites aware of the many events which take place in the area, and to assist clubs and organizations from sched­uling events from conflicting with one another.

An example of this is the annual "Fair Day," originally scheduled by the Desert Em· pire Fair Association for Au­gust 1. Through the Communi· ty Relations office they learn­ed that a local fraternal order had planned a luau for that

date and rescheduled t h e i r celebration for August 8.

IWV clubs and organiza­tions, and especially local fra­ternal groups, ar e requested and encouraged to enter ev­ents planned for the summer and fall seasons with the Com· munity Calendar. The calen­dars now reach a much larg­er audience in view of the fact that they are included in the m a iii n g of the Recreation Rambler each month.

Persons who wish to use the calendar, or who desire more information, may call NWC Ext. 3575.

The Board of Directors dis­cussed the lighting of McBride Park so that various nighttime activities, such as band con­certs, hootenannies, s qua r e dancing, folk dancing, and the like, could be held there in the evenings.

The Council concurred with the Park Commission that con­tributions toward the installa­tion of lights in the park would be held until volunteer labor becomes available. Persons who wish to contribute toward ti)is worthy cause should send con­tributions to the Council, P . O. Box 5443, China Lake.
