Official, Parent Assistance Makes EHort a Success

BY JOHN R. McCABE What will the ltids do with

their spare time? What will tbey do this summer?

For those without the finan­cial baclting or good luck to participate in a complete rec­reational or educational pro­gram elsewhere, spare time can be a burden. Over the past year, the Naval Weapons Cen­ter command, Special Services and leading China Lakers have been building up the capabili­ties of the youth Center to give an answer to the above ques­tions.

Participation by China Lake youngsters has seen a modest growth since the youth Center was opened, according to Wad­man . Some 576 are now en­rolled, not including tho s e who take part in special hob­by or recreation classes or on organized sport teams. Program. Make a DlHe .. nce

"We have, by no mea n s, reached an 'utopia' in facili­ties or programs made availa­ble to our youth," Wad man reports in his recent summer activities bulletin. "However, if we can prove to the commun­ity that these facilities and pro­grams do make a difference, there will be new and better things in store for us in the future , not only material things but those intangible t h in g s which really count."

USomething new" is the em· phasis of the youth Center for this summer - made possible by the past year's groundwork in using already eristing facil­ities for special youth partici­pation. The Gymnasium, the swimming pool, the China Lake Bowl, the tennis courts and ev­en the The ate r have been pressed into service, ant] will be part of this summer's youth program. For example, a week­ly "Moonlight Bowl" is on the calendar, and a class in thea­ter operation and movie pro­jection is scheduled.

Clubs Ind organizations hive volunteered their help to the Youth Center. The China Lake You t h Employment S.rvice Program i. behind the theater operation claues, for example. AI.o, the China Lake Bowmen will conduct a Junior OIy~ic Archery Development Program in the i r indoor range.

Positive results a m 0 n g the youth of Chi n a Lake of the youth Center's programs are detectable, real and important, according to Wad man, al­though they are mostly intang­ible.

"10 my experience as a youth director in other places, I have seen the incidence of youth getting into trouble go down - or at least the rate of increase slacken - as youth

programs grew," he says. "I be­lieve we are accomplishing the sam e results here, althougb there's no concrete proof. If some of the troubled ltids come to the youth Center or t a k e part in a program, it doesn't mean that they won't go out somewhere else and get into trouble later.

10 his first visit to the Kern Valley since he arrived at Chi­na Lake last January, ETR3 Timothy Dart, with his two companions and co-workers, ar­rived at the banks of the Kern River just five minutes in time to pull Teddy Doyle, 7, out of the deep, fast water below the main dam.

Two neighbor boys of Pacoi­ma, RIcky E.calante and Ted­

. dy, both about •• v.n y.ars old, had .lipped into the riv.r from the .IIppery bordering rocks wh.r. th.y w.r. playing on Mamorial Day, May 30. They had been vi.iting the are a with Ray Anaya, 20, of N. w Maxico, and hi. brother-in-law A lb. r t Doyl. of Pacoi"",. Young Teddy I. Alb.rt'. ne­ph.w.

Doyle and Anaya both dove into the water after tbe boys. Doyle pulled out Ricky Eeca­lante, but Anaya went under and drowned while trying to save Teddy. At this time, Tim­othy Dart and his companions

ETRSN Marvin Johnson and ETR3 Douglas Van derHeide were getting ready to fish.

II Johnson shouted, 'Hey look, .omebody'. gone .wimming -no, th.y're in troublel" D. r t r.call.. "W. took oH around the rock. to the river - it ... med to take a lot of time.

ETR3 Dart had been pre­pared for the emergency. He had completed senior ' lifesav­ing instruction with the Red Cross in his home town of Ab­ilene, Texas, and has worked for three summers as a life­guard at a private club.

But this was Dart's first ex­perience in a river like the Kern.

CHAPLAIN'S MESSAGE------..

The Church

B, Senior Ch.pl.in P.ul Rom.ntum

Today, many voices are being heard saying that the church has outlived its usefulness. It is always asking for money or there are too many hypocrites in the church so why add another one or two to it.

Some serious thought to the following poem might help you see the church in different light. By sharing this expe­rience, it will mean the same to you.

THE CHURCH IS TO ME

A Door Into an opportunity for service. Into a most useful life. Into the best experience. Into the most hopeful future. It gives me a start.

An Armory To get power to fight evil. To get inspiration to keep going right. To get an uplifting influence. To learn how to use spiritual weapons. To get a vision of Christ. It keeps me moving.

An Anchor To steady me in the storm. To keep me from the breakers. To guide me in the strenuous life. To hold me lest I drift away from God. To save me in the hour of temptation. And lead me into the harbor.

VIP Treatment Is Order of Day For Gary, Billy Bird

(Continued from P"P 4) words, a Rocketeer photogra­pher, PHI Phillip Beard, ac­companied the Birds on their weekend travels. The p h ot 0

layout certainly describes ma­ny of the areas visited by Gary and Billy in Bakersfield.

Many readers, no doubt, in the pas,t have wondered exact· Iy what type of activities were provided for our Blue jlckets of the Month. This issue, the photos can give one a fairly good ideo of some of the sight­seeing events a v. i I a b I e throughout the Bakersfield area.

Other future Bluejackets, se­lected from among our Navy enlisted men assigned to this Center and its tenant un its, may now have a better idea of what to expect from the peo­ple of Bakersfield in the way of down-to-earth hospitality.

If one is interested in view­ing antiques of unusual beau­ty, they must make it a point to tour the Pioneer Village . Commenting on this phase of their trip, the Birds reflected that the museum has a "ter­rific" display of the animals lo­cated in the Kern County are­as, and well - kept automobiles, plus a I a r g e rock collection which proved to be of interest to them.

All-in-all, the Bluejacket of the Month and his wife found the weekend too short as was to be expected. But most of all, the Birds found that people don't differ too much from oth­ers in this country. Most are helpful and friendly, as they account, and are alway, will­ing to assist strangers around their town.

Of primary importance. the Birds stressed one point, they couldn't find thanks enough for the kindness of the people of Bakersfield. The people of this town will long remain a warm spot in the hearts of Gary and Billy Bird and that seems about one of the best ways to express thanks to this California com­munity.

Sonieone has defined success as the art of making your mis­takes when nobody is looking.

,-- THE LOCKER ROOM -----,

Blame It On Tony

Engineer Boos. Lead In Duel Wifh Ace TV

By ED RANCK

The scene was Dodger Stadium, .June 8th, 1968. The time was shortly after 9 p.m. Don Drysdale had just stood the hase· ball world 011 its ear by pitching four innings of shutout ball against the Phillies. Pitching four innings of shutout ball against the Phils is not a rare achievement. There have been years when Grandma Moses could have done it. But when you have warmed up for the occasion by pitching six consecutive shut· outs, then the feat has to be ranked among the greatest ac· complishments in the history of the game. .

Drysdale hroke a 55 year old mark previously held by Walter Johnson. The fact that Johnson made several relief appearances enroute to the record is another factor that en· hances Big D's achievement. If anything takes a hit of the lustre from Drysdale's string of pearls, it has got to be the controversy over Drysdale's hitting of Dick Dietz in the San Francisco game. Because of this, a few of the oldtimers are saying that Drysdale is merely a hamburger who got lucky, and that they should attach an asterisk to his record.

When archaeologists excavate the sites of maior league !HII parks a few thousand years- from now, it is only natur.1 thlt they Ire going to try to piece together the history of the gome. When the story unfolds it is likely thlt the present erl i. going to be known .. the erl of the goose egg.

STARTLING SUCCESS

Never in the history of the game have so many pitchers enjoyed such startling success. Pitchers like Drysdale, Juan Marichal and Bob Gibson could probably win if they had to throw under.handed, but when you see guys like Luis Tiant, Stan Williams and Jose Santiago with earned run averages under two, you begin to wonder if the pitchers aren't get· ting some help.

In a game that has never been known for its abundance of gracious losers, it is only natural that the successful pitch· ers, headed by Drysdale, should be accused of doctoring the ball. It has been said that some pitchers bring everything ex· cept a junior chemistry set to the mound in order to find ways of improving their sinker ball.

It III storted yelrs Igo with the invention of the spit bell. Advlnced technology proved thlt the re~ults achieved with the .pitter could allO be achieved with the help of slippery elm or .Ind poper. The idel h .. alwlYs been to liter the surflce of one side of the bIll 10 thlt it will take In unusual dip when it gets to the plate.

Since the advent of the space age, the spitter has been practically discarded. Not only is the babit socially unaccepta· ble, but the pitch is too easy for the umpires to detect. In its place have appeared such innovations as the vaseline ball, the hair tonic ball and the toothpaste ball.

HAIR TONIC BALL

They say that Drysdale practically invented the hair ton· ic ball. He has been known to give the baseball a sixty sec· ond workout several times in each game. One of the better pitchers with the Giants, one whose game improved sharply in one season a few years ago, is said to throw a sinker that has less cavaties than any other in the National League.

With the numerous inspections that Drysdale has been subjected to during the last few games, it is unlikely that his ace in the hole is the vaseline, hair tonic or toothpaste ball. On more than one occasion the umpires have practically given the guy a physical checkup. They have checked him over for everything but athlete's foot.

The secret of Don's success might be •• sier to explain than most people believe. Sefore each pitch, Drysdlle usullly turns hi. beck on the pllte umpire and reoches for his shoes. No, he's not throwing the shoe shine ball or the foot powder bIll, 11'. merely the old dust ball, which was invented by Tony Scanlin Int yelr in the China Lake Softball Lelgue.

Led by the hitting of Larry Buckley and Bob Crawford, the league leading Engineers took a game and a half lead in the China Lake Softball Lea g u e Monday evening, downing sec· ond place Ace TV, 8-6. Extra base hit s by Buckley in the first and second innings ignit· ed a pair of three·run rallies as the Engineers jumped to a quick 6-0 lead. Jim Bevan's two run single was the key blow in the first while a triple by Buckley, Chuck Newmyer's sin· gle and Crawford's triple did most of the damage in the sec· ond.

After the Engineers had gone ahead 8·0 in the sixth, B e r t Andreasen's sacrifice fly, a run scoring single by D rex Moulder and a three run hom· er by Max Smith made it 8·5. Dennis Carson's solo homerun in the seventh closed out the scoring. Bert Galloway went all the way to win his s eve nth game of the year, while Andre· asen was the loser .

Moulder and Andy Gilpin led a late inning scoring binge as Ace crushed NWC, 2()'1. Held hitless for four inninps, Ace erupted for six runs in the fifth, eleven more in the sixth and three in the seventh in· nings. Moulder and Gil pin homered and collected three hits each during the scoring ~pree, while Tommy Galyon and Andr.asen also homered. Andreasen scattered four hits in winning his sixth game of the year, striking out 14 along the way. Larry Byrd w .. the loser for the Tigers.

Frank Carson and Lou Rad· cliffe each hit a pair of hom· ers and drove in five runs as EI Ranchito moved into a tie for second by downing VX·5, 12-4. The Bandidos took a 6·0 lead in the early innings and were never in trouble through· out the ball·game. Pete Klass· en pitched a four hitter in go· ing the distance for his fourth win of the year w h i I e Joe Quenga lost it for the Vam· pires. Jim Ayers also homered for EI Ranchito and Ron Ly· ons hit one for VX·5.

Mark Stoner's run scoring double and a two run homer in the eighth inning by Jim Ayers broke open a tight baU game as E1 Ranchito defeated the Magic Cleaners' Patriots, 5·2. Bobby Kochman and Bill Brown hooked up in a t i g h t pitching duel over the fir s t several innings as Magic took a 1-0 lead in the second, feU behind 2·1 in the fifth then tied it at 2·2 in the seventh. Stoner singled home Pete Klassen to make it 3·2 in the eighth, then Ayers homered with two out

VX·5 scored 11 runs in the first three innings, then coast· ed to an easy 16.7 win over the NAF Hawks.

The Genge Chaparrals mov· ed into fourth place, downing NAF, 5-3. Jim Bradberry led the Genge attack with three hits, including a two run dou· ble in the fourth inning. Down 5·0 in the seventh, the Hawks rallied for three runs on a run scoring double by Bob Loft and a Genge error. Tony Scanlan was the winner for the Chap· arrals and Don Sichley was the loser.

Magic Cleaners capitalized on two base hits and nine walks for an eight run first inning as they born bed NWC, 12-4. Larry Parmenter drove in four runs to lead the Patriots and Bob H 0 0 per homered.

Future Security Never Better By Saving Via Bonds

Defense of the stability of the Arne ric a n doUar and strengthening of the National economy are purposes of the United States Savings Bon d s Program.

In addition, of course, the in· dividual buyer benefits, as does his family, through improved financial health and a savings program for emergencies, edu· cation, vacations, retirement, home buying and purchase of important comforts of life.

Income taxes on the Savings Bonds interest can be postpon· ed until lower earning years by postponing cashing them in - or by trading for H Bonds.

The United States Treasury seeks total sales of $5'h bil· lion dollars in Savings Bonds during 1968. It also seeks 10'h million individual payroll sav· ers to help to achieve t his critically needed objective.

Every community and every important c i vic and service group, industrial leader, every professional and public service group is urged to join the ef· fort.

It begins here, with us. Th.t is how in 26 ye.n Americans decided to buy more than $IS0 billion in United Stat.s Savings Bonds . .. and at this time still hold more thIn $51 bil· lion, 300 million as investments in Am e ric a and Shares in Freedom.

Secretary Henry H. Fowler has called Savings Bonds the keystone of our debt manage· ment and protection of the dol· lar - and 24 per cent of the publicly held debt are in Sav· ings Bonds to help do this and to help resist erosion of infla· tion.

The 4.74 per cent Freedom Share, maturing in 4'h years, is a companion purchase with the E Bond, paying 4.15 per cent interest when held to a 7 year maturity. If lost, stolen or damaged, they are replaced by the Government, to make them an "indestructible" security.
