Water Line Proiect Speeding Toward Fall Target Date

A newly installed water line that's designed to pump 2% mil­lion more gallons of water into China Lake will be in operation by September, it was estimated this week by Charles Martin, Officer·in·Charge of Public Works construction.

Though not originally intend­ed to be in operation before ear­ly October, Martin said the cur­rent program is "running ahead of schedule",

The 24·inch line will stretch nearly eight miles when com­pleted, starting at the newly drilled, intermediate pumping station and running to a "B" Mountain reservoir to be con .. structed.

Martin said the project was designed to boost water pres­sure on the Station and increase water supply. The line will not be completed in time for the an­ticipated heavy consumption this summer, but its effects will be realized through the fall and years ahead.

Only one main thoroughfare, King Road, will be closed for periods of more than 24 hours because of this project. Martin said project planners scheduled work on the new line in a man­ner that would cause the least amount of interruption to nor­mal vebicular traffic aboard the Station.

Navy is now issuing Goo d Conduct Award Certificates in addition to its Good Con· duct Medals,

Where a Good Con due t Meda l is requested and there is no entitlement to a subse· quent award, both the medal and certificate are issued con· currently. However, if an in· dividual is eligible for two or m 0 r e awards, a certificate will be issued only for the latest award.

The certificate will show the member's name, rate and bra n c h of s e r vic e and whether it is the first, second, or third time awarded.

China Lake will be a prime tar­get for pests,

Authorities base their outlook on pest control on record rain· fall during the winter season and snow that is still piled high in nearby mountain ranges.

This excess of water will help pests breed in the lowlands and valleys, they claim.

Locally, a preventive medicine pro g ram will go into action shortly to coordinate pest con­trol during the montbs abead.

Of tbe most concern to medics presently is the possible start and spread of Equine Encephal­itis, nor mall y transmitted to horses by mosquitos. Humans are k now n to have been in­fected, however, our preventa .. t i v e campaign is expected to stop this disease before it starts_

Fifteen Naval establishments in Southern California and Ne­vada were issued special warn­ings in the notice received here this week.

AIOD Adopts 'Aid'Training The Supervisors Safety Com·

mittee of the Aviation Ordnance Department has initiated a train· ing program for their employees aimed at providing essential training in the administration of first aid, The schooling is a standard course in Red Cross first aid instruction conducted by Tom Chapman and Pat Pow· ers of the Station's Safety Divis· ion.

In reviewing an accident at Armitage Field, the Committee found a serious lack of first aid know·how among tbose who at­tended the victim pending medi· cal aid. Of equal concern was tbe possible need for rendering assistance in the case of acci· dents occurring on the ranges and other remote areas.

Not intended to supplant med­ical aid, the training emphasizes what should be done wbile wait­ing for professional medical help. Dr. A. G. Hoyem, who heads the committee, states that

tbe ten·hour instruction given over a five·week period has worked satisfactorily. Ten em­ployees have received certifi­cates of completion, and two other classes are still in session_

Here's A Custom We Can't Ignore-

Don'f scan down the page until you've read this column. It concerns you more deeply than anything printed in this

"teek's edition of the Rocketeer. Not only you, either. Your chil· etren,· your friends and your very way of life are involved. _ .~ Let's lacknowledge- atrthe sta-rt that we, here at China Lake, ~e uni!ed in purpose. Our very existence and mission in life while employed at . China Lake is related directly to the de­f.ense. of the Free World.

Le.t's also acknowledge the fact that most of us are agreed on this point. There's no need for a lecture on the values we are serving.

There is an apparent need, however, to display an active form of patriotism. And, less this statement be misinterpreted, let's emphasize the continuing customs that Americans long be­fore our time practiced.

One of the most apparent was the allegiance they paid to the flag under which our country grew and prospered.

We, here at China Lake, seem to have forgotten this ap· parent custom.

By time you read this column you will probably have been jolted out of your lethargy by the booming sound of recorded music that accompanies our morning and evening colors cere­monies.

So, it seems a bit superflous to go into a tirade about pay· ing homage to a custom that our forefathers long ago originated.

We'd like to suggest only that, for the greatest thrill of your life, watch that beautiful flag go up into a bright, clear $ky_

And, if you're passing by along about sunset, stop long enoogh to witness evening colors.

You won't be .able to resist musing to yourself, "Thank God!"

Summer Time For Fun And Religion

By Chaplain R. F_ Wicker, Jr.

"Summer is icumen in, loude Sing eucu!" And, Chaucer was right, summer is definitely on the way_ The sun gives us unin­hibited coverage and all of us loo~en up for a wonderful time. Relaxation and recreation be­come the watchwords of young and old alike. Little but impor­tant words like discipline go begging in the summer, for in­deed, "loudely sings- the cucu"!''­- But, can you forget discipline; that personal inner _discipline wbich gives us strength and characte'!:?' Can you simply' toss ouLwinter's regimen and go na­tive? You can't if responsibility means anything at all to you. You can't forsake personal dis· clpline if you are a consistent human being.

. What kind of example is one who attends church regularly in winter, but when the time comes to go to the mountains or the lake, forgets the location of tlle

Chapel? Here, character is real­ly convenience. What kind of leader is a winter worker, who a corner to get to his camper quicker?

Any man or woman worth their salt, any person wilo claims to have a diSCiplined character will make summer -a time for better personal con­h:Q). :riley lVili re,,)ize that va.ca­tion activity is for vacations~ bQt- fer working days. They will know that their faith cannot vegetate for a summer aI\d ,sti.ll revive for the ' faJI. Religious faith is one of the few things that doesn't grow in an attitude of relaxation. Religious discip­line is like all other types of dis­cipline. It is built in a solid year­round foundation which requires a constant vigilance to main­tain.

Summer is not lcumen in, it's here. Does the cucu sing for you?

Council Calls· For Speed Law Revisions On Station Revised speed laws and the

possible hazard to Capehart ten­ants posed by the glass doors ·were highlights of the Commun­ity Council meeting Tuesday night.

After a study of the proposed speed laws for the Station, the Council recommended that the speed limits be changed to 25 miles per hour in business and residential areas, and to 45 on

the range roads. The basic speed law remains-that no person shall drive at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent with regard to traffic, road and weathet conditions, and the saf­ety of persons or property.

Mr. T. Hilborn asked support for a beneficial suggestion that the Station mark the sliding glass doors in Capehart housing to prevent someone from walk-

ing through or into these doors. Until further investigation can be made, the Council" wishes to caution tenants that these doors are a possible hazard, and sug­gests that tenants follow the recommendations of the Cape­hart housing booklet by maI:k­ing these doors.

The Council is seeking a rep­resentative . froj1l Precinct 1D; any interested person is urged

to contact Mr. Ross Clayton, Ext. 71612.

The Council wishes to remind Station employees to register for voting before 12 April. One must have been a resident of California for one year and of Kern County for ninety days to be eligible_ It is necessary to re­register if one has moved since the last election or did not vote in the 1960 presidential election.

-~ There will be a registrar avail­able at the China Lake Post Of­fice all day every Friday until 12 April, and in the Michelson Lab lobby from 9 a.m. to noon daily from 9 to 12 April. For the address of the registrar nearest you, call Mrs. M. Sutherlen, Ext. 724252.

A list of registrars with their addresses will be published in next week's Rocketeer.

'Sidewinder' Sells Navy For This Recruiter

Commander Donald K. San­,born's Naval Reserve recruiting program is literally "rocketing ·along" , thanks to the aid he's gotten from China Lake.

He credits the 4lSidewinder" air-to-air missile that's mounted atop his car for a 300 percent 'boost in enlistment rates!

" It stops traffic," asserted the former executive officer at NAS, Oakland.

missile, minus Its lethal charge, nearly a year ago.

" It means people stop for an­other look when I drive down the street. And, I can draw a crowd simply by pulling up to the curb," he claims.

'Players' Initiate Memorial Award To Henry Dubin

The Chi n a Lake Players "Henry Dubin Award" will be made for the first time this year to a senior student at Burroughs High School who is interested in the dramatic arts, according to an announcement fro m the Board of Directors of the local community theatre. The $100 award will be the first made in the field of drama at Burroughs.

Pat Schwarz bach, chairman of the scholarship committee, re­leased the following statement of intention which will aCCOnl­pany the application blanks:

"The Henry Dubin Award has been established as a memorial to Henry Dubin and the interest he displayed in The China Lake Players' productions. It will be presented in order to assist and encourage participation in the dramatic arts. Consideration for the award will be li!!lited to sen­ior students in the field of act­ing, set design, and costume de­sign."

Mary Wickenden, president of The Players, credits the I 0 c a I audience with making this pos­sible since their ticket purchases are the only source of income for the local community theatre. She stressed, "They have cre­ated the prosperity which The Players now wish to share with a senior student interested in further work in the fie I d of drama."
