WALK FOR S.W.A.P. You too can save a bit of wilderness. Join the

"walkabout" on June 6, from 2:30 to 5 p.m., at the Wilderness Gardens in Pauma Valley, located off State 76 about two miles east of Pala and four miles west of Pauma. The 500-acre gardens were once a beautiful botanical area where camellias were grown commercially, and many of the old bushes -- almost trees -- have survived in the reversion to native growth. Wilderness Gardens are a current project of SWAP, Small Wilderness Area Preserves, a statewide conservation group. A recent visit to the gardens by SWAP state chairman Mrs. Benjamin Polk, by Mrs. Wilfred Watson of Escondido, and by Oceanids' own Mrs. Fred Spiess (SWAP chairman pro-tern for San Diego County) led to plans to save the area as a wilderness. Time is short, as plans for setting up a mobile home park are being considered by the owners.'

THE YEAR FOR PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE Mary Carol Isaacs

People to People are briefly sittingl::ack, reflecting upon the pleasant Cinco de Mayo visit of the staff, wives, and students of the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, Escuelas Superior de Ciencias Marinas. Greetings were exchanged at the SIO Aquarium-Museum, visits there followed, and a program of films and slides was offered by Professor Carlos R. de Alba-Perez ESCM and Mr. Jeffery Frautschy of SIO. After sandwiches and coffee hosted by P to P, the Mexican ladies went sightseeing and shopping with our "Spanish speaking" members. The professors and students toured Scripps laboratories and facilities. The game this year was basketball instead of the traditional soccer, and after that Sybil York and P-P served supper at University House tothe visiting professors and ladies. Dr. Carl Hubbs acted as our honorary host with Laura assisting. P-P welcomed Senora Gladys de Alba­Perez as an honorary member of Oceanids. Surfside bulged with the sixty Mexican student visitors and UCSD host students with a hot-dog supper arranged by Dru Binney and Jan Behrhorst.

While "sitting", as previously mentioned, People to People is looking for volunteers among our own "Interest Group", Oceanids, or friends -- YOU? -- YOU?

YOU?? -- for home stays for the six ESCM students who we hope will be on campus this summer.

Can YOU help? Can YOU of fer hospitality for two or three nights any week June 21 through July 30? Or can YOU offer bed and board for a week beginning July 12, July 19, August 9, or August 16?

People to People is offering assistance awards to these six students to make possible their attendance at UCSD. Two wish to take a computer training class in the University Extension Summer Session and four wish to have diving training at SIO with Jim Stewart, the Diving Officer.

We need YOU, Newcomers and Oceanids! People to People has interesting things going on -- we need more womanpower to fill our boots! I

FISHERY-OCEANOGRAPHY CENTER TO HOLD OPEN HOUSE Lillian Vlymen

For the first time since it opened its doors in September, 1964, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Fishery-Oceanography Center, 8604 La Jolla Shores Drive (on the cliff 1/4-mile north of Scripps Institution of Oceanography), will hold an open house for the public on Saturday, June 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to help celebrate the lOOth anniversary of the creation of a federal fisheries agency.

The Center is one of 30 major fisheries research laboratories in NMFS, a major component in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a new federal agency created within the U. S. Department of Commerce on October 3, 1970 to "improve man's compre­hension and uses of the physical environment and its oceanic life." Although NMFS has been in existence a short time, the federal fisheries agency had its "de facto" beginnings on February 9, 1871 when the Congress of the United States directed President Ulysses S. Grant to appoint a civil officer of government "compe­tent to the task" to serve as Federal Commissioner of Fisheries" ... for the purpose of settling the question as to the facts ... that the food fishes of the eastern coast of the U. S. have been decreasing in number ... with a view, if possible, of ascertaining the causes and suggesting a practical remedy." Spencer F. Baird, assistant secretary of the Smithson­ian Institution, was selected (without salary) and immediately set up a provisional laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, recruited a small staff of inves­tigators and issued a 255-page report in 1872 on his findings -- the year following his-appointment.

Thus, fisheries became the nation's first renewable resource to receive public attention. From this modest start in 1871 with a $5,000 budget, an unpaid Commissioner of Fisheries and a largely voluntee staff, the NMFS has grown until it now numbers 2,500 employees with an annual budget of $60 million. The mission of this agency, according to its director, Philip M. Roedel, is "responsibility for research and operations necessary to understand, manage, and protect living marine resources and the environment essential ,for their existence so as to preserve the options of the Nation relative to the use of fishery resources."

Mutual interest in a fish, the California sardine, which once supported the nation's largest fishery, was one of the principal reasons for early cooperation between Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and NMFS. Using the research vessel, E. W. SCRIPPS, Dr. Harald Sverdrup of SIO and Dr. 0. E. Sette, then director of the federal fisheries laboratory at Stanford, California, planned and carried out coopera­tive surveys during 1939-41 in the waters off Californj to find out the where and when of sardine spawning.

In the mid-1940's catastr~phe struck the sardine industry. The large fishing fleet and once- thriving, canneries, described so graphically by John Steinbeck in "Cannery Row," gradually dwindled while the public, State legislators and the fishing industry asked for a

(continued on P• 2)

full-scale investigation into the causes for the sharp decline in the sardine population.

In response, an expanded research program sponsored by the California Marine Research Committee, was begun in the late 1940's, based on theearly Sverdrup-Sette sardine investigations. This program, now known as the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investiga­tions (CalCOFI) brought together SIO, NMFS, and the State of California, in a concerted effort to under­stand the impact of the sardine fishery on the resource.

In 1950, Dr. E. H. Ahlstrom of the Stanford laboratory, was asked to set up a small laboratory in an old barracks building at the Scripps Field Annex on Pt. Loma to compile biological data taken in plankton hauls on CalCOFI cruises as it related to fishes and biomass. As the center of the sardine population and fishery gradually shifted southward, the federal government decided to close the Stanford laboratory and in 1954 Director John C. Marr and his staff moved into Building T-16 on the Scripps campus, the former SIO Director's residence, directly across from Vaughn Aquarium. From 1949 to 1965,the laboratory operated the 150-ft. converted schooner, BLACK DOUGLAS, as its principal research vessel in the CalCOFI program.

Within the framework of CalCOFI, the close asso­ciation of the fisheries agency with Scripps has continued to the present, although in recent years emphasis has shifted from the sardine to include a comprehensive study of the ecology of the California Current. Both NMFS and SIO collected samples and data at sea; ~IO chiefly processed and analyzed oceanographic observations and studied taxonomy and zoogeography of planktonic organisms other than fishes. As one result of the cooperative investigations, the biology and oceanography of a 250,000-square mile area of the Pacific Ocean off California and Baja California is perhaps the best understood of any comparable body of water in the world.

In 1959, a new federal fisheries laboratory, the Tuna Resources Laboratory, was established in San Diego for oceanographic and biological research on the tunas of the eastern Pacific Ocean, with the primary aim of applying the findings to specific pro­blems of the tuna industry. Under Gerald V. Howard, a small staff was recruited to begin work in quarters at Pt. Loma. This group also continued to maintain close research ties with SIO.

In 1964, the two laboratories were merged on the Scripps campus when the Fishery-Oceanography Center was built on land deeded to the Government by the Regents of the University of California. The first director of the Center, Dr. Ahlstrom, was succeeded in 1967 by the present incumbent, Dr. Alan R. Longhurst.

Research at the Center is organized into four groups, each containing programs and projects related to specific fisheries -- temperate and tropical tunas, anchovy and sardines, Pacific and jack mackerel, marine mammals, etc. The Fishery-Oceanography Group investigates the relation between fish and their environ­ment; the Population Dynamics Group investigates the structure of fish and marine populations; the Behavior-Physiology Group investigates the animals which are important in the food web in the sea, seeking to understand the nature and quantity of food needed, and the methods by which this food is obtained; and the Operations Research Group studies the fisheries by means of systems analysis and develops new gear and methods for individual fisheries.

The Center, a complex of four multi-story concrete buildings (sometimes called the Fishery Hilton by local residents) now houses 25 research scientists and 50 technicians and administrative staff. Since 1965, the

2

Center has operated the 171-foot research vessel, DAVID STARR JORDAN, which replaced the BLACK DOUGLAS, and was built specifically for oceanographic and biological work in the eastern Pacific from northern California to below the equator. About a quarter of the laboratory space in the Center is allotted to other research agencies: Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission, Scripps Tuna Oceanography Research Group, and a field office of the U. S. Geological Survey.

During the Open House, the Center plans exhibits, displays, and the showing of a motion picture film on the Center's research activities. Dr. Longhurst, Director, wishes to extend a cordial invitation to all BEAR FACTS readers to attend on June 26 and to celebrate a century of fish conservation in the United States.

THE INTERNATIONAL CENTER -- AT LAST Ground-breaking ceremonies for the International

Center on April 20 marked the end of ten years of planning and the beginning of many years of happiness for foreign individuals at UCSD. The two-story wood­frame building is now under construction between Revelle College and Matthews Campus near old Miramar Road.

The International Center, scheduled for completion September 1, will provide a meeting place and hospitality center for students and scholars from all countries including the United States, who are affiliated with the University community. It is the first step in a planned student-activity complex which will eventually grow to include a student union building and additional facilities aimed at bringing together "town and gown" with opportunities for campus and community members to work together.

The International Center will have meeting rooms lounge space, temporary guest quarters, reading, musi~ and game rooms, a craft center and conference space. In addition, there will be a nursery, kitchen facilities and an outdoor coffee garden which will provide space for activities such as folk dancing and ethnic drama and music. The Office of International Education and the Foreign Student Adviser will also be located in the center.

The present International Center is the realization of a decade's dream. In 1961 the Zonta Club opened an International Center in La Jolla especially for foreign students, then chiefly graduate students at Scripps and the new School of Science and Engineering. The building was closed about four years later to start saving money for the much bigger building project now started on campus. The new center has already a community of over 500 foreign University-connected individuals to serve.

Among those who have been chiefly responsible for bringing the International Center to reality are the Zonta Club of La Jolla, Mrs. Walter Munk, Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Theodor S. Geisel, and Mr. and Mrs. Cecil H. Green -- and Oceanids.

KING HENRY EXPIRES Pat Kampmann

After a sojourn of 20 years in Tank 18, T. Wayland Vaughan Aquarium-Museum, SIO, the Pacific loggerhead turtle known as King Henry died last month. The turtle a favorite of the school children, weighed in excess of 100 pounds Cause of death was apparently old age.

A few years ago, when Henry was kept temporarily in an outside pool, he grew a foot-long covering of wavy green algae over his entire shell. This unique occur;ence att:acted the attention of the local press, which featured a.p~cture of the turtle captioned "Henry the Hippie". Visitors flocked to see the reptile with the "toupee" and Henry became quite a celebrity. '

FOR THE RIGHT WRITERS The Center for Women's Studies and Services and

University Extension are offering a Woman as Writer Workshop from June 21 to July 2, conducted by San Francisco poet Diane di Prima. The workshop is part of the California Creative Arts Conference on the UCSD campus, an intensive two-week session for writers, students, teachers and others interested in the creative arts.

The Arts Conference will off er lectures and individual conferences in fiction, nonfiction, poetry and film, as well as several workshops, of which Woman as Writer is one. The theme of it will include: self confidence in beginning women writers moving away from dominant male images and values, the question of artistic expression transcending differences of sex, marketing and publications for women, and other topics suggested by participants.

Another workshop offered is Film: Its History, Technique and Art, directed by Michael Ahnemann. American and foreign films will be viewed and analyzed, and workship members have the option of making a film under the direction of a professional filmmaker.

Registration forms for the California Creative Arts Conference are available at University Extension (write to Hugh M. Davison, UC Extension, P. 0. Box 109, La Jolla). Tuition for credit is $185, for non-credit $125. For further information on the Woman as Writer Workshop, phone Joyce Nower at work (286-6552; 10-11 a.m.) or at home (233-1840; after 4:30 p.m.). Attendance will be limited, so early enrollment is urged.

MOTHERS -- TAKE NOTE Oscar, a lonely octopus, is looking for friends.

He lives in the Scripps Aquarium and he wants children and young people to join him there this summer so he can teac~ them about the oceans, the beach, and the environment Be will have expert help in the teaching: Moreen Fielden and Jody Sutton, both teachers at La Jolla Country Day School, and Judith Farwell, a teacher at San Diego City College.

The Scripps Aquarium-Museum is offering two oceanography classes this summer. One is forchildren 6-10 years old, on Monday through Friday from Julx 12-23 from 1-3 p.m. This class will offer classroom, aquarium' beach and craft projects in ocean studies. It will be ' taught by Mrs. Fielden and Mrs. Sutton.

The second class is for young people 14-18 years old, on Mondav through Friday from July 12-23 from 9-11 a.m. This course, taught by Mrs. Farweli, will consist of lectures and laboratory work and will e~phasize ecology and environmental problems in San Diegc1 County.

Each two-week class will cost $25. For application forms phone the Scripps Aquarium-Museum (453-2000 2380). And hurry! The classes are limited to 30' ext. students each and are expected to fill up fast.

CONGRATULATIONS . William A. Nierenberg, Director of Scripps Insti­

tution and UCSD Vice-Chancellor for Marine Sciences was elected to the National Academy of Sciences at the ' annual meeting in April.

At the same meeting Dr. Frank Dixon, who is a professor in residence at UCSD as well as a pathologist at the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation, was also elected to Academy membership.

In May four UCSD faculty members were elected as Fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences: Chancellor Herbert F. York, Professor Errett A. Bishop (mathematics), Professor Geoffrey R. Burbidge (astrophysics), and Professor Jonathan Singer (biology).

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION FOR ALL The accent will be on family participation in progra

offered by University Extension forthe summer quarter beginning June 21.

"Astronomy for the Family," a 3-day outing on Palomar Mountain will start Friday, July 23. A guided tour through the world famous Palomar Observatory, plus time for nature walks and swimming will be offered.

"Sealife Study for the Family" will meet Saturday mornings from 9 to 12 noon, beginning June 2&. You may explore all the wonders of marine biology with your children through lectures and laboratory work.

"Beach Fun for Family Fitness" is a physical edu­cation program where parents and kids can learn fitness skills such as body and board surfing, skin diving, volleyball, aerobic activities and even how to organize the family beach party. The first section starts June 20, with a second starting August 8.

A wide range of other courses make up the total of 210 to be offered this summer by Extension. For a copy of EXPLORE, the quarterly catalog, or enrollment information, stop by the Extension offices at 103 Matthews Campus, or call 453-2~00, extension 2061.

UCSD HOSPITALS AUXILIARY Marcia Legro

The UCSD Hospitals Auxiliary holds the promise of having "something for everyone" when it gears up for business next fall. The county-wide membership has one common denominator: an interest in assisting the hospitals of UCSD School of Medicine. This is a tri­part program of volunteer work, fund-raising and education.

Members, male and female, may choose to serve as in-service hospital volunteers in areas such as infor­mation desk, menu selec~ion, translators, child care, library cart, office work, gift shop and gift cart. Application and training are available at University Hospital (291-3330, ext. 1686).

Because many members do not choose to assist the hospital by volunteering within its walls, the Auxiliary plans a flurry of fall "area meetings" to establish working units. Patient and hospital needs will be met by work accomplished in these activity groups. All members will be involved in plans for the Fourth Annual Flea Market slated for mid-November. Jobs in this venture vary from phoning to gluing holiday decorations, to staffing booths on Market Day.

With its earned monies the Auxiliary has followed a "Year of the Patient" this year. Donations have included a cordless electric shaver, wall clocks for patients in a coronary care unit, and "comfortizing" the OB and surgical waiting room as well as the main lobby of the hospital. Scholarships to an extension course on understanding the psychological state of patients were made available to several hospital employe Parents-to-be will soon be previewing University Hospital's program at evening coffees .

Auxiliary-sponsored lectures by UCSD School of Medicine faculty have touched on arthritis research, San Diego's drug scene, pre-natal genetic counseling, and drinking and driving.

The Auxiliary's annual meeting will have been held on May 21, after the BEAR FACTS deadline. Any interested volunteers who missed the meeting can get further information by writing to Mrs. Kenn~th Unruh, 6397 La Jolla Scenic Drive, La Jolla.

WEEK-END CAMPING IN BAJA CALIFORNIA

Summer is great for week-end camping in Baja California. However, before the amateur attempts this adventure, he should buy or borrow the best guide book to the area, Gerhard and Gulick's "Lower California Guide Book." This the the "Bible" to Baja California explorers, and it has excellent maps. It is available at the Aquarium-Museum book shop and at the main campus book store, as well as in town book stores.

Three other books well worth reading are: "Beaches of Baja" and "Camping and Climbing in Baja California," both by Walt Wheelock, and "Baj a California, Mexico, 11

by Cliff Cross. The latter is a paperback, with pictures and a text covering all the peninsula.

All these and a great many others may be found in the Baja California Special Collection at the UCSD Library. The Mandeville Department of Special Collection houses what is perhaps the largest institutional col­lection of Baja Californiana in the United States. All subjects are covered: geography, geology, history, description and travel, ethnology, economics, natural history, etc. The materials are in all languages, but the majority are in English, Spanish and French. So, if a trip is planned to the mountain region close to the border, or to see Indian artifacts, this library collection will help one on all aspects, including, for example, the Indians on Mexico's nearby reservation at Santa Catarina.

Mountain camping in Baja California is ideal in the summer, with sometimes camping under tall pine trees and beside a lake, Laguna Hanson. A closer, more

secluded spot is El Topo, alongside a stream. The best approach to the mountains is from Rumorosa on the Tijuana­Mexicali highway. Campers may enter at Rumorosa and exit through Ensenada. Meling's Ranch on the route south of Ensenada now leads to the higher country of the San Pedro Martir and to the new astronomical observatory.

Along the west coast one can camp along the beaches below Ensenada in many attractive spots without a four­wheel drive vehicle. First are those in the Punta Banda area and then the popular Puerto Santo Tomas. The Mesa that extends from Punta San Jose to below Punta San Isidro offers pleasant camping not as well known to most tourists. The best known junction for this is at Kilometer 181 toward Punta Cabra, a delightful point with sea lions, long beaches, rocks, and a shipwreck. Further south is San Antonio del Mar and beyond Colnett is Bahia San Quintin, a beautiful bay with a nearly landlocked inner harbor. For that distance, to and from, one should allow several days.

On jaunts to Mexico take advantage of the chance to buy some of the delicious foods of the country -­papayas, mangoes, pineapples, limes, bananas, locally

grown tomatoes -- and enjoy them in Mexico. Their local wines are excellent. In season one can sometimes get

big clams and lobsters from local fishermen. And surf fishing is very good.

Special suggestions: For a stav longer than 72 hours, one needs a

tourist card, obtainable at the Mexican Consular office in San Diego or in Tijuana or Ensenada.

It is wise to get auto insurance. Four-wheel drive is not necessary, but a car that

is capable of rough-road driving and high centers makes it possible to do a lot more exploring.

SUMMERTIME THEATRE IN BALBOA PARK Rhoda Stultz

The Setting is a summerevening, and you and your escort as the stellar performers, have parked your car in Balboa Park, and are strolling through the Alcazar Gardens, with its formal beds of flowers scenting the soft air. As you make your way past a blue and yellow tiled fountain you see the lighted beauty of the high California Bell Tower, which thrusts upwards near a grove of tall, lightly swaying eucalyptus trees. Your destin­ation is the Old Globe Theatre, built close to the many colored Moorish inspired domes of the California building on the north side of El Prado. This is a unique and widely renowned theatre, built in 1935; it is a replica of the sixteenth century London Globe Playhouse.

Approaching more closely to the theatre, you are conscious of a myriad of bright banners and regal ensigns

fluttering for your attention, and you see the little booths in the paved courtyard which sell various refreshments, notably tarts, and souvenirs. Then you are aware of gaily costumed dancers on the nearby green, and hear a girl and a boy singing to the accom paniment of an antique mandolin. You are told that every night except Monday there is a free half-hour program of Elizabethan pageantry, music and dancing on the green, starting at 7:30.

You are to see A Midsummer Nights Dream, directed by U.C.S.D. 's own Eric Christmas, and played by a professional acting company. It opens June 8th, is one of the three Shakesperian dramas to be shown in repertoire during the summer season. The others are The Taming of the Shrew directed by Nagel Jackson, and Antony and Cleo­patra directed by Ellis Rabb. ~~-As you enter the theatre for the first time you are impressed by its interior opulence, its heavily wood beamed octagonal ceiling, its triple balconies which surround the elegance of the Elizabethan stage. As you are seated you note the comfort of the thickly upholstered seats, and you appreciate the air conditioning, and later, the fine acoustics. As the house lights are

dimmed you experience a special anticipatory thrill as you await the performance at one of the most renowned festivals in North America, the San Diego National Shakesperian Festival. You certainly will not be disappointed, and you settle back to enjoy the combination of excellent acting, imaginative directing, creative icostuming, and music which evokes the drama of Shakes­peare's times and genius. As the play proceeds you realize that this happy fusion is not just a dramatic restoration, but that it is living, breathing theatre, as much today's theatre as its counterpart was real theatre in the lSOO's.

The Old Globe Theatre presents nightly performances every night except Mondays, and gives matinees on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Next to the Old Globe Theatre is a smaller building with many muntined leaded glass windows and black doors. This is the Cassius Carter Center Stage Theatre which was opened in 1969. It is a small, intimate theatre­in-the-round, having almost black walls and upholstery on the chairs. The absence of color and light serves to accentuate the colors of the center lights which play down on the performers, thus making them more graphic and vivid. The plays here are run concurrently with those at the Old Globe, and are usually acted by a professional company. On June 22nd Woody Allen's

(continued on P• 5)

~(from P• 4)

Play It Again opens. This is a zany comedy about a cowardly romantic who projects a fanciful Humphrey Bogart type image of himself to himself in order to bolster his courage in the pursuit of female prospects. Shows at this theatre are given nightly except Mondays, and matinees are on Saturdays and Sundays.

Perhaps only in San Diego could one go to a musical at the Zoo, and this at an outdoor theatre which presents performing seal shows in the daytime! This is

1possible at the summer Starlight Theatre at San Diego Zoo, in the Wegeforth Bowl, which seats 2,000 people, has very good acoustics. And what wonderful musicals are to be shown this season -- The Sound of Music~ Oliver and Hello Dolly! Opening night is Ju;_,2 29th with The Sound of Music. Season tickets are available at a considerable saving. These musicals are produced by

the United States International University's Center for the Performing Arts, and in association with the San Diego Civic Light Opera Association.

BE A HOST At the invitation of Dr. Martin Chamberlain,

Assistant Chancellor for Public Affairs, the Oceanids are compiling a list of faculty and academic families who would enjoy entertaining visiting foreign dignitaries. The visitor's stay is very short, from two to five days, and they usually stay in the Mandeville suite. So the entertainment could be dinners, family picnics, concerts, sightseeing tours, etc. This past year the visitors numbered about a dozen -- from places as diverse as Japan, Ethiopia, and South America. The nu~ber will surely increase.

If you are interested in joining the visitor­entertaining list, phone coordinator chairman Frieda Urey, 454-1640.

SCRIPPS AQUARIUM DOCENTS Pat Kampmann

The Docents are now completing the end of the school year, with the usual Spring rush. Normally, we average

100 students a morning; March and April go to 200; and May brings 300!

For the second year, we exchanged meetings with the ~useum of Man docents. In February, 17 Scripps Docents attended a coffee in the Museum, were given the regular school tour, and both groups met for luncheon near Balboa Park. In March, 15 Klee Wyks joined us for coffee, a tour of the core locker and pier, as well as behind-the-tanks here at the Aquarium, and we all lunched at the new Sea Lodge.

Mr. and Mrs. Don Wilkie honored the Aquarium Doc:::nts at a luncheon on May 14, given in T-29. Also attendinr, were the Aquarium Committee: Dr. and Mrs. Richard Rosenblatt, Dr. and Mrs. Abraham Fleminger, Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Curray, Mr. and Mrs. Leighton Taylor, and Acting Director Dr. Fred Spiess, with Mrs. Spiess.

The next series of training lectures for new

docents will be given in October, 1971.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND FAULT? Betty Shor

The San Fernando earthquake of February 9 did far more damage than its magnitude justified -- and much less than it might have. An earthquake of magnitude 6.6 is not a major one. Almost all loss of life and property in an earthquake of that size is avoidable, by care in construction.

California cannot count on luck to bring earthquakes at 5:12 a.m. (San Francisco, 1906), 5:54 p.m. (Long Beach, 1933), 3:52 a.m. (Arvin-Tehachapi, 1952), and 6:01 a. m. (San Fernando). The safest civilized structur' for withstanding earth shaking is the one-story wooden frame house. Most of the San Fernando residents were inside that safety when the earthquake hit.

You saw the pictures of freeway damage. What if the shock had hit at 9 a.m. or 5 p.m.? You saw the pictures of Los Angeles High School. What if the shock had hit between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.? Consider for a moment the disaster of destroyed buildings, families separated between home, school, and business, and unusable highways 'and telephones.

For twenty years seismologists, especially Dr. Charles Richter, have been warning that California is overdue for a major earthquake. The last was the San Francisco quake of 1906 (magnitude 8.3), and the major earthquakes hit this state about once in fifty years. The energy of an earthquake of magnitude 8 ~s about sixty times that of an earthquake of magnitude 7; and an earthquake of magnitude 7 is about sixty times greater than one of magnitude 6. A moderate" earthquake like the San Fernando one occurs about once in four years in southern California. As our population grows, we shall find more and more structures, many of them imperfect, within the range of these moderate earthquakes.

Do you know where the earthquake faults are in San Diego County, especially in the densely settled part? What school buildings within fifty miles of a known fault were built prior to the Field Act of 1933? What hospitals, police stations, dams, bridges, and water lines are capable of withstanding a moderate earthquake? The San Fernando earthquake showed up a major defect in the construction of freeway overpasses. How many of these can now be considered safe?

All agree that schools must be safely built. Schools built prior to 1933 must be replaced. But even safe schools must close if main water lines to the city are broken by an earthquake miles away, if highways are undriveable, or if water from broken dams has drowned their students.

A major earthquake can paralyze California's big cities by disrupting water supplies, power lines, highways, railroads, and natural gas lines. We are not prepared for such an overdue disaster and we are not prepared even for the more frequent moderate disaster. A long-range replacement program is needed in San Diego on all structures that are a hazard to life and to the normal routine of a big city. Studies by earthquake engineers at San Fernando can give new information for updating the building code. We need facts and we need a list of priorities on vital replacements. Have you noticed that money becomes available after a disaster? How much wiser and more humane it is to spend it effec­tively before the disaster.

One tragedy of the San Fernando earthquake is avoidable, at no cost. School officials in Los Ange!es have found that many children were seriouslv disturbed by the earthquake .. Their fear is obviously- the result of their parents' fear and from simply not understanding earthquakes. The long-continuing aftershock\-- a nor~al consequence of every earthquake -- contributed to

everyone's fear. Parents in California should learn the nature of earthquakes and what to do during an earth~uake and should teach this to their children, just as they teach the hazards of highways. Among the many sources of information are: "Earthquake Country" by Robert Iacopi (a "Sunset" book , 1964 -- for the l~yma~, ve:y informative); the April-May 1971 issue of California Geology'' (this issue of the California Division of Mines monthly magazine is devoted entirely to the San Fernando

earthquake) ; and the recent reprinting of the exhaustive Earthquake Commission report of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Your nearest library has these, and others.

The San Fernando earthquake is particularly interesting to seismologists. It is the first thrust fault movement available for intensive study. It registered the greatest acceleration yet known(greater than 1 g), much more than expected from a moderate earthquake. It may have been a secondary effect of the always-blamed San Andreas fault. Seismologists will be studying its records for years.

What earthquakes do to the ground interests

specialists. What earthquakes do to the structures man

builds concerns us all. Geology" cited above, San Fernando earthquake, surpassed by our aston­endangered reservoirs. has been estimated that

In the issue of "California editor Mary R. Hill said, of the "But what we have learned is far ishing luck. Had shaking of t~e tontinued for 2 seconds more, it there would have been no time to evacuate those below. Had the earthquake hit at rush hours when th~ stre:ts and freeways were full of traffic; had it hit.during school hours, when schools were filled with children -­our grief might be much greater. We must hurry.to learn what we can, and to put to use what we know, while our

luck holds."

Feople-to-People (from P• 1)

Our Potpourri Shopping Tours last November to interesting out-of-the-way places took us to San Diego city and to the countryside. (Don't forget strawberries are at their best at the Chino's Strawberry Farm off Via de La Valle near Rancho Santa Fe.) It helped to finance our exchanges with ESCM and the Concepcion School in the Philippines and for our commitment to the reading room in the n~w International Center.

In April several Newcomers joined us for our fun day in Tijuana when we had a complete tour of the Mexican Fiesta Village, the Cortijo San Jose at Playas de Tijuana, with a look at the fine horsemanship of the charros and even a bit of cock fighting. We lunched again at our favorite little Mexican restaurant, and shopping of all kinds followed with lots of fragrant pan blancos tucked under most everyone's homeward­bound arms.

We are starting a new international scholarship project and are hoping to be welcoming a young student

from Ecuador next fall. The activity going on as BEAR FACTS goes to press involves getting books and publication for "our" school in the Philippines.

Please call Mary Carol Isaacs, Georgette Price, Nancy Van Dorn, or Adelaide Booker. We welcome you all to join us for work and play!
