'Youth of Month' Will Be Honored By Valley Flyers

A "Youth of the M 0 nth" will be chosen in the I n d ian Wells Valley by the Valley's Begi Flying Club starting this month.

Local youth and adult org· anizations and civic groups are invited to submit the names of young people of school age who are recognized as having made unique contributions to the community, says Lloyd H. Shreve of the flying club.

"The purpose of the pro· gram," he says, "is to encour­age outstanding citizenship on the part of local youth."

The Begi Flying Club plans to honor youths selected with a free sightseeing flight over the Indian Wells Valley area in the club's Cessna 150 single engine aircraft.

The club's stated objective is to promote interest and par· ticipation in civil aviation, and provides g r 0 u n d and flight training on a non·profit basis.

Groups and organizations are invited to give names of qual· ified young people to Robert A. Tims at 375-4463 (day) or 375·7975 (evening) or to Lloyd Shreve at 72034 or 72624 (day) or 375·8264 (evening).

Scouts Begin Trans-Sierra Hike To Camp

A team of 12 Boy Scouts from Troop 41 are embarking today on a 50·mile trans·Sierra hike . "

The group will be under the supervision of Dr. Ron lIenry and Assistant Scoutmaster Don Moore. The hike will start at Quaking Aspen camp, located near the town of Porterville, and will take the scouts across the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Several hi~h mountain pass· es will be traversed as well as the deep Kern River Canyon . The hike will terminate on the seventh day at Carroll Creek, located just south of Lone Pine in Owen's Valley.

Following the hike, the group will be j 0 i ned by 17 other scouts from Troop 41 for a week's stay at Camp Kern in Huntington Lake. The camp is operated by the Southern Si· erra Council of the Boy Scouts of America for the benefit of all of the scouts in central and eastern California.

Under the supervision of ad· ult leaders, the scouts w j I 1 spend the week engaged in ao· ti vities designed to pro v ide training and practical ellperi· ence in woodcraft and other scouting skills. Swimming, hik· ing, boating and games are al· so part of camp activities.

China Lake is now the nu· cleus for a new organization called the Naval Weapons Cen· ter (NWC). The Center w i I I include the former Naval Ord· nance Laboratory at Corona. now called Naval We a p 0 n s Center, Corona Laboratories.

The Pasadena Laboratories become the headquarters for the new Naval Undersea War· fare Center (NUWC), and will include undersea technology people from both the former NOTS and the former Naval Electronics Laboratory at San Diego. NUWC will retain the ranges and personnel at Mor· ris Dam, Long Beach and San Clemente Island .

The former NEL, San Die· go, becomes the Naval Com· mand Control Communications Laboratory Center.

Captain Grady H. Lowe will be Commander of both NWC and NUWC until a new com· mander is picked for NWC. Dr. William B. McLean is acting Technical Director of NUWC, and Mr. Haskell G. Wilson is act i n g Technical Director of NWC.

All three commands will reo port directly to the Chief of Naval MateriaL

Centers of Excellence The establishment of the

two new research and devel· opment centers is a part of the plan of the Chief of Naval Ma· terial to strengthen the Navy laboratory structure by reo grouping selected laboratories into "centers of excellence."

This reorganization is expec· ted to lead to more effective and stronger in-house techni· cal units in support of the Na· vy mission. One such center al· ready in operation is the Ship Research and Development Center at Carderock, Mary· land , formed by consolidation of the David Taylor Model Ba· sin and the Navy Marine En· gineering Laboratory, Annapo· lis, Maryland. Several addition· al centers are planned.

Mission at China Lake The Naval Weapons Center

will conduct warfare analysis, research, development, t est, evaluation, systems integration and fleet engineering support in naval weapons systems prin' cipally air warfare - and will conduct investigations into reo lated fields of scienc.e and tech· nology.

The existing facilities at Cor· ona will be maintained and will be an integral element of the new weapons development cen· ter. The responsibility for pro· gram management will rest with the Center.

With the incorporation of the Naval Ordnance Laboratory, Corona, the new weapons de· velopment center will have a staff of about 5,000 civilians.

G.in Seen in PlY Totll. According to estimations

by the Naval Material Com· mand published last May 27, NWC, including Corona, is ex· pected to draw $46.1 milliGn

in civilian salaries and benefits in fiscal year 1968, an increase of $2 million over the com· bined China Lake . Pasadena total of fiscal 1967. Corona's approximate share of the total was put at $9.3 million, rppr~· senting 919 civilian employees.

PaNde".', Million The Naval Undersea War·

fare Center will conduct a pro­gram of warfare analysis, reo search, development, test , eval· uation, system integration and fIe e t engineering support in underseas warfare and OCE'an technology.

The existing Pasadena or· ganization will be augmented by the transfer of sonar func· tions from the former Naval Electronics Laboratory, San Di· ego.

Functions and personnel at China Lake related to the un· dersea center's mission will also be transferred to the Nav· al Undersea Center.

The Undersea Center p I a n calls for eventual physical con· solidation of all of its elements in one location. However, con­tinuity, the interests of the em·

Aim of Reorganization The regrouping of selected

Navy laboratories into "centers of excellence" is expected to strengthen their capability for systems development manage· ment.

Each center is to develop a substantial systems analysis capability in order to maintain balanced perspective, to assess relative merits of alternative developments, and to provide sound program planning.

The centers will join in in· terpretating inteJligence estim· ates as a guide to planning and programming. The c e n t e r s will maintain contacts with the fleet and fleet problems, so that they have current knowl· edge of operating forces , capa· bilities, limitations and goals,

The first cia .. of the Nav.1 School of Aeronautici il h.nd picked. Thirty . two college graduate. among the aviation oHicer candidatel who had completed their prim.ry phale of flight training w.re .. I.ct· .d to insure above .verage Icholastic ability and f I i 9 h t aptitude.

The nine · month course of instruction includes flight in· struction and ground training by a faculty composed of mil· itary and civilian instructors.

"The school's ultimate goal is to provide training w h i c h will qualify graduates for a recognized, accredited degree at the master's degree level," Navy said .

Navy is seeking to develop a cooperative degree program with universities to bring this about.

Drug Usage Could Prove To Be Deadly BY DAVID L. KIMSEY

A little over a year ago a new drug came on the market. It represented a sort of a "middle man" to the kick hap· py youngsters who wanted a little bit more. They were told by the "pusbers" that it was non-habit forming, and t hat the sensations they would get would be "out of this world."

Th. medical term i. Lys.rg­ic Acid Diethyl.mide Tartrate. Mo.t of us .hudderlingly know it however, as LSD.

Be c a u s e of the growing world . wide use of the drug, and because of the ignorance concerning it, the Department of the Navy bas issued specif· ic information concerning the dangers of LSD usage.

Regulations Prohibit Before these dangers are

discussed, it should definitely be noted that Navy Regulations prohibits, except for authorized medical purposes, the intro­duction, possession or use of depressant or stimulant drugs on board any ship, craft or air· craft of the Department of the Navy, or within any Naval Sta­tion or other place under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy.

It fu rther prohibits, except for authorized medical purpos· es, the possession or use of depressant or stimulant drugs by persons in the naval servo ice. This is defined as a n y drug that is habit forming be-

Pot Smokers Find Things Not Easy With Local Law

Last week an article appear· ed in the Valley Independent concerning the arrest of sev· eral local persons for the pos· session and sale of marijuana . There were ni ne in all , rang· ing in age from 18 to 21. Of course, much concern was cre­ated over the inCident, as well there should be.

In checking with the various local law enforcement officials, it was discovered that approx­imately 18 such arrests have been made in the past 12 months. Although it is said thJt this is definitely not an alarm· ing number when compared to other communities with the same population, it is always alarming to hear or read about the youth of our Nation using harmful ;\Od illegal dru gs .i ust for thl! sake of "a few kicks.I'

Unfortunately, this il one of the most difficult t y pes of crime to detect or control. In moat casel, with the possible exception of the actual lale, mariiulna is found in the home or on private property. Be­caUM of our strict laws con­cerning the invasion of priv­acy, false arrelt, defamation of character, etc., law enforce­ment age n c i e I must be ex­tremely careful.

Such was the case recently as the Security Department, Ridgecrest Police, Kern Coun· ty Sheriff's Office, State Bu· reau of Narcotics and Office of Naval Intelligence combined their efforts and s eve r a 1 months of extensive investiga· tion in order to bring about these arrest,s.

cause of stimulant effect on the central nervous system. as having a potential for a bus e because of effect on the cen· tral nervous system, or as hav­ing a hallucinogenic effect.

A complete list of these drugs is available, but the im· portant thing now is that LSD is included.

It il too often the impres­sion that LSD is a cure-all fo r a variety of problems of liv­ing, an improver of perlonal­ity, and an efficacious d ru g which improves sexual fu nc­t ion ing, enhances reli"gious ex­perience and increases creativ· ity in the arts.

Nothing could be further from the truth, and because of the 1 a c k of knowledge con· cerning the true effects, use of LSD by young adults is grow·' ing at a very alarming rate. It is also anticipated that the same could be true among young adults in the Naval Ser· vice. This is a trend that most definitely must be reversed .

A Dangerous Drug The popularity of LSD has

grown rapidly because of the belief that it will "expand the mind" or produce a t h rill without the disadvantages of becoming addicted to a drug.

It is true that LSD itself is non . addictive, however very serious problems can be asso· ciated with its usage. The LSD user may go through a stage of panic, during which he is

likely to be severely confused, depressed, anxious, or suspi­cious.

The initial reaction to the drug may last from one to 12 hours. Understand this howev· er - symptoms may reappear spontaneously in a month or two or as long as two years after taking the drug.

There are documented cu­es of LSD u .. rs having suf. fered s eve r e bodily injury while under the inf luence. One example is that of two young men who were se riously in­jured after having wa lked into a moving car while they were d isoriented under LSD inf lu­ence. Suicide atte mpts, su­icides, and homicides have ev­en been committed du ri ng the terrible exper ience.

Contrary to the pop u 1 a r claim that LSD is a "conscious· ness . expanding" drug, it has been too often demonstrated that the drug decreases con· scious functions, distorts ti me sense, decreases an individu­al's ability to select and pay attention, impairs critical, ob· jective judgment, and induces illusions and hallucinations. Vi· sion and hearing are distort­ed, not enhanced as claimed.

No Way Of Knowing There is no known way 'of

predicting occurrence or sud· den, unexpected recurrence of these dangerous effects Ion g after use of the drug. It is also not possible to determine in

advance those individuals like· ly to suffer these adverse ef· fects.

L.gal bans were placed on the u.e and sole of LSD .ft.r extensive studiel of LSD usen. One luch Uler, now a plychi­atric patient, thinks he'l an or­ang •. Still anoth.r think. th.t he is a graham cracker. The " graham cracker" wal hospit­alized following an accident in which he drove his car into a hou .. , killing a three ye.r old child. This was done during an LSD tr.nce.

During an 18·month period, LSD put 130 patients into a New York hospital for treat· ment of mental illness. 15 pa­tients suffered from profound terror; 14 exhibited uncontrol­led violence; 10 attempted ei· ther homicide or suicide. Most of these patients were men, of an average age of 23.

Sensat ions become intensi­fied and pe rceptions are d is­to rted under the influence of LSD. One man slept on the floor the night he took LSD beca use he was conyi nced that his bed was only two inches long. Another m a n was reo strained from diving off a cl iff onto the rocks below. Later he expl.ined that he felt the breaking waves were a s ilk scarf and he wanted to dive into it .

Faces often appear to bp melting. One high school stu· dent cut the tendons of her

wrist because she looked in the mirror and saw her face be· gin to dissolve. In another case, a yo u n g man, after taking LSD for the first time, was convinced that he had to offer a human sacrifice or die him· self. He was prevented frolll throwing his girl friend off the top of a Hollywood hotel.

Only BI.ck Merket Since Sandoz Laboratories.

which was the only legitimate manufacturer of LSD, stopped production in the spring of 1966, the only available public source of the drug has been the black market. These sup· plies often contain impurities and sometimes compounds ~Te substituted, which can result in a particularly g rue S 0 m e form of death.

These are but just a few of the symptoms and case histo­ries that are on file and a mat· ter of record - and it contino ues to grow. Considering that tbe symptoms can r.eappear up to as long as two years after taking LSD, how much trust could you place in a user?

J ust Think About It Suppose that the helmsman

of your ship had taken LSD and you were in a tight for· mation at full s pee d. How about an ammunition handler that suddenly thought he was p Ia yi n g ball? The situations that could arise from the use or prior use of LSD are count­less. We should all think about it for a while - a long, long while.

CHAPLAIN'S MESSAGE ------,

Danger

from Within 8y Senior Chapl .. in Paul Romantum

When the Great Wall of China was first completed it was considered impregnable before enemy armies. It was built to withstand outside attacks by the enemy. The builders had ne­glected the fact that a member of the nation on the inside might render the defense useless. Not too long after the waU was completed someone on the inside accepted a bribe to let the enemy through. Those who had the wall built did not consid­er the danger from within.

All will agree that the military strength of our nation is second to none. We are capable of defending our nation against any outside force in the world. Yet we must no. neglect the greater danger from within. One of these i. the u.e of LSD and other dangerous drug.. Their u.e hOI been declared illegal by this .tate and our nation. The u.e of tho.e drug. de.troy. UI from within 10 it becomes. 'gr.ater danger than those fore· el which would destroy UI from without.

These drugs have the capability of destroying our physical and moral fibre which is essential for right decisions. Medical authority lists three common reactions from the use of LSD: "Acute, severe panic episodes during which suicide atte~pts , suicides or homicides have resulted ; recurrence of IDcapacltat­ing symptoms without warning during periods of abstinence even months after taking the drugs ; and prolonged psychosis."

MORAL DESTRUCTION

These physical reactions effect us morally and spiritually as well since we cannot divide the human into convenient com­partments. These drugs destroy a person morally so that they are unable to make the right decisions for their own welfare and the welfare of those with whom they live.

A person doe. not live in II vacuum and .ach decision mode hIS a .trange way of affecting others. Would you be willing to let your life depend on the deci.ion of a known u.er of LSD or any other dangerous drug?

" In April, 1967, a young woman who had tried LSD only once, six months before, had a sudden acid reflash while driv­ing an automobile. She lost control of the car, narrowly missed crashing into a bridge abutment, and was admitted to a hospital in psychotic condition."

Think of the many situations which .r. encountered every day on count I ... level. of life which need .ound judgment and right decisions. Man is morally responsible to God for his own welf ... and that of hi. fellow men_ The LSD or dangerous drug user becomes the greatest danger from within because of the users destructive potential.

,--'DESERT PHILOSOPHER'---,===:-,

Mountain Lions

By "POP" LOFINCK

Another example of how man gets confused about animals. For many years there was a bounty on lions. Some lion hunt­ers and trappers were salaried.

The California Department of Fish and Game have known for a long time that lions were beneficial in the balance of na­ture, because the lions get the sick and scrawny deer - thus keeping the deer population bigger and healthier .

So the bounty on lions has been djscontinued. The Fish and Game Dept. also know that when the ratio of bucks to does is too great - that is bad, because if the does don't have fawns they get sick, at the same time devouring the feed in the area. Does have been protected by law, but should be hunted also, along with bucks, to keep a better balance. Deer are a crop that should be barvested like steers, for food.

The lion population has been so reduced by professional bounty hunters that the deer population is becoming scrawnier and over-populated to the point where if something isn't done about it, the deer will over browse themselves into starvation. .. So now, the Fish and Game people wish there were more lions, to keep the balance of nature. That's progress! So the law may be changed to permit hunters to get more than one buck and some does too_

l understand the hunting of lions will be permitted -with a license, of course. The hunters won't get many - it's not that easy - lions are bard to see - they keep out of sight. Hunting lions successfully requires well trained dogs that are quite expensive. But the hunters will have the fun of trying anyhow. And get a fine rug, maybe?

It has been suggested that mention be made of the many deer that are killed or crippled by cars while crossing the high­ways at night.

If a deer i. hit on the highway it .hould be reported to the ­nearest Highway Patrol Office. I've heard there i. some talk of making an underpass in certain areas where many deer are hit by cars, and using a mirror to warn the deer of approaching headlight. - so the deer wi II u.e the underp.... Sound. odd but it may work. Hope .omeone tell, the deer about thi •.

I've forgotten where I read that-and have been unable to check on the plan.

More about deer hunting later-when I get more informa-tion. ~

2. I share with you the pride that you and all members of the NOTS China Lake community must feel in this accomplishment.

3. Please extend to Mr. Fred Richards my personal congratula­. tions and "Well Done" for his outstanding editorial perform­ance in producing a publication of such high Caliber.

,--- THE LOCKER ROOM -~r;:::=====:;;:::::;-I

Around

the Country By ED RANCK

With the heat and the recent holiday period, there has been a lot of inactivity around China Lake in the past few days. Most people have either gone on a brief vacation, or crawled under their sombrerors for a short siesta. Therefore, we would like to take a brief look at sports around the country. Although most of what we have to say has been s:tid before, here goes.

There are a few millionaires around the country who have devised a new way to lose money. The object of the game. IS to keep investing in professional sports until you pIck a genume loser. The original AFL owners came close, but were prevented from going broke by the television networks. The franchIse op­erators in the new American Basketball ASSOCIation seem sure to take a bath, but then basketball doesn't begin until fall.

In the meantime, the only loser available seems to be pro­fessional soccer. Actually it wasn1t meant to be that way. It was felt that soccer would provide a bit of genuine snob appeal for the American sports fan. It hasn't worked out that way.

The trouble is, as any European would be glad to tell you, that the average American sports fan is a clod. In a recent game in Los Angeles, the Toros drew around two thousand fans. Why in Europe - that many people get into the stadium on counterfeit tickets. In South America, there are at least as many casualties in the post game riot.

THE GAME HAS POSSIBILITIES One thing is apparent to even the casual observer of soccer,

and that is that it's a team game. Winning teams employ a short precision passing game and tight defense, and it prob­ably takes a club a few years of playing together before they can put together a winning combination.

Although slow to catch on, the sport as played in the Unit­ed Soccer Association, represented in this area by the Los An­geles Wolves, can be an enjoyable and entertaining game to watch. The Wolves, who are really the Wolverhampton Wolves of England in disguise, came to this country as a unit, as did all teams in the USA.

All the USA teams have been together for a number of years. They play a tough, eXCiting brand of soccer, and with the increase in fan interest shown in recent weeks, --it is possible that the USA may survive.

THE TOWER OF BABEL LEAGUE The National Professional League is a different story. Here

the owners may have found the secret of instant failure . Not only are all clubs newly formed , but there are so many differ­ent nationalities represented on each team that the language barrier has become a significant factor.

It is possible that only in the NPL can you pat a guy on the back and say "Attaboy Dilac," then have Djlac poke you in the nose, because he thought you made a nasty crack about his ancestry.

PIED PIPER OF WRIGLEY FIELD The big story in sports the past week or so, has been about

the return to contention of the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs, who haven't been out of the second division in nearly 20 years, tied for the league lead last Sunday after winning their 13th game out of their last 14 starts.

It appears that the club has a genuine contender this year, after so mllny years at or near the bottom of the le.gue stand­ings. What is lurprising about this team is not so much that they are doing so well, but that it hOI taken them so long to field • genuine contender.

It would seem that any club that has had players 1i.ke Ron Santo Ernie Banks and Billy Williams for so many years should make' an occasional run for the pennant. True, the Cubs haven't had great pitching and their defense has left a bit to be de­sired over the years, but a lot of major league teams have won the pennant with less. .

The only significant change the Cubs have made IS to em­ploy a proven manager for the past two years. You have to assume that Leo Durocher has had something to do with the rise of the Cubs.

Managers of course, can't go on the field and win ball games. The players are the ones who have to ex~ute, all the manager can do is push the buttons. It has been saJd that a good manager is worth about five or six wins a year, so why should Durocher make such a difference?

Durocher is a winner. He has the Cubs believing that they can win too, and this is one of the intangible things that can make a so-so ball club perform like champions.

Its not likely that the Cube will win it all this year. Soon­er or later players lik. AI Spangler end Ted SavO'go WIll wake up and begin playing like AI Spenglar and Ted Savage, and then the club will probably fade from serious contention. They could very well finish in the first divi.ion though and with the nu­cleu, of good young ballplayers that they have, the Cub. could be contender. for several years to come.

Whether Durocher is still around when they finally win the National League championship is hard to say, but a great deal of credit will have to go to him, because he is the guy who m~de ti)e ,<:;,,"s be~eve in themselves.

Makes Gigantic At 9 a.m. last Wednesday,

the Magic Cleaners ball club had a record of 5-4, w ere three games behind the lead­ers, and were on the verge of dropping out of the race in the Station Softball League. L e s s than 12 hours later, the club had moved to within one and one-half games of first pIace, and were very much in con· tention.

Two days earlier, the club had prote.ted a game which they eventually lost to Trian· gle Sporting Good., 5-1. The prote.t WIS upheld, and the conte.t will be replayed from the fourth inning, with Trian­gle ahead 3-1, the .core at the time the protest was mad e. The game will be replayed la­ter in the season.

Magic C I e a n e r s moved a step closer to the lead t hat evening by downing the second place Engineers 2-1 in extra innings. Dave Paradise singled home Bob Bartlett in the bnt­tom of the eighth inning to will it for Magic. The Engin~er< had gone ahead in the fourth on Roger Short's fourth home­run of the year, but Bill Ree­die drove home Bob Palmer with the tieing run in the bot­tom of the inning. The Engin­eers starter, Paul Admundson, and Earl Roby had hooked up in a fine pitchlng duel for sev­en innings. Ross Clayton came on in the eighth for the En­gineers and was tagged for the loss. It was the second loss of the year for the Engineers and dropped them out of a tie for first place.

G eng e came from behind twice to defeat VX-5, 13-12. Dave Wilkie singled home Jim Bradberry in the eighth, to give the tailenders their firsl win of the year. Down 8-3 in the third, Genge rallied for six runs off Joe Quenga and Jack Gann to take a 9-8 lead. Base­hits by Chico Abrego and Jim Taylor put the Vampires ahead 12-9 in the sixth, but Genge tied it with three in the top of the s eve nth. Tony Scanlon pitched six strong innings in relief to win it for G eng e, while Garin was the loser.

Jim Goforth collected three

scored in every inning but the third off two NWC pitchers_ Bill Brown went all the way, striking out nine to win his fourth game of the year, while Ed Day wa. the I_r.

Triangle scored seven runs in the fourth inning to break open a close ball game, the n coasted to a 13-1 victory over the NAF Hawks. Pete Klassen scattered four hits to win his eighth game of the year, and Doug Scoggins led the eleven· hit Triangle attack with thrce base hits. Don Sichley was the loser for N~F.
