VX-5 Mechanic Enioys Title Of Blueiacket

Uusually in the newspaper· ing business, one doesn't pay much aUention to disclaimers for modesty's sake· on the Dart of newsmakers and noteworthy people.

"I really don't do very much to talk about here, except my job at VX·5," says Malloy -and means it. But the Aviation Structural Mechanic brought with him a full supply of ac· tive sports and off-duty hobbies and interests, as he came aboard Station last August. He also brought the dedication to his job and the urge for ad· vancement in his skills t hat won him the "Bluejacket" hon· or.

Frank Malloy worked for two years in a skilled job in indus· try near hi$ home town of Bell· mawr, New Jersey, before rna· king up his mind to enter Navy service. He aUended Camden Catholic High School near Bell· mawr, then went on to work for the Owens.coming Fiberglass Corp. where he developed the knack with a softball on the company team that he puts to use on VX·5's nine.

In fact, sports is an all·year activity for Frank at Chi n a Lake, including football for the VX·5 "Vampires" in the fall and winter. Last year he went with the softball team to Las Vegas last July for the Mo­jave Des e r t Inter Service League tournament at Nellis AFB.

Engineer Urges More Politics To Organize and Strengthen Jobs

Glen W. Miller, vice presi­dent, Southern Region , Califor­nia Society of Professional En­gineers, urged the 100 engin­eers in attendance at the "En­gineering Week" banquet held last week at the Officers' Club to take a more active part in state politics, to organize and strengthen the i r profession, and to strive for higher sala­ries for engineers .

A graduate of CalTech and UCLA, and part owner of Ran­dolph, Johnson, Miller and As­sociates, Long Beach, Miller stated that there are only two registered professional engin­eers in the California State Le­gislature .

Politics Neglected "Politics is an area we en­

gineers have sadly neglected," he said, "especially when mil­lions of dollars are being spent in California on water systems and dams. Who is more qual­ified on these matters than the engineer'" he asked .

Continuing h. nid, "We don't w.nt to get involved but it's time we did, Irs .n obligl' tion we owe society, beside. it'l In obligation we owe our pocketbooks."

Referrmg to law and the en gineer, Miller pointed out that unless an engineer is register­ed in the State, his testimony is not admissable in a court of law in California . Third party responsibility in a contract can last as long as 20 years, he warped_ You can be held ac· coulltable, if "you just-drew the plans. he noted .

Citing the American Medical Association as an example of unity in a profession, Mill e r

challenged the engineers to a c hi eve the same unity for their profession by joining and supporting the National Socie­ty of Professional Engineers .

Dwelling on higher salarie, for engineers, he stated that the unorganixed engineers are not getting their share of salary increases. Organized labor con­siltently Iverage six per cent salary increase. per year, not so engineers, h. noted.

Professional engineers with 10 years experience average $12,000 to $15,000 per year. A journeyman plumber will Call in the middle bracket of this pay range, Miller stated .

Local Societies Sponsor Local professional societies

sponsoring the annual banquet were :

The Desert Empire Chapter of the California Society of Pro­fessional Engineers, the Amer­ican Society of Civil Engineers, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.

The Americln Ordnance As. sociation, the American Insti­tute of Chemical Engineers, and the American Institute of Mining and Metilurgicil Engi. n .. rs.

Master of ceremonies for the occasion was Eli Zeitlin. Guests of honor were H. G, <Hack) Wil­son, assistant technical direc­tor; LCdr. Russ Myers, assist­ant Public Works Officer ; J . L_ Breault, CSPE state vic e president; R G. S_ (Bud) Se­well, AOA Chapter president, arid Fred Zarlingo, AIAA Chap· ter c h air man. Engineering Week chairman was Russ Pal­mer.

Library Offers Many Books On Background of Viet Nam

Viet Nam is the most impor­tant problem facing the U.S. today_ Those who would like to upgrade their background in­formation on any phase of the war in Viet Nam will find a great variety of material in the Station Library.

In "Dateline: Viet Nam," Jim G. Lucas gi ves us the day·by­day dispatches of a S c rip p s­Howard correspondent fro m January 1964 to April 1965_ The book describes his activities as a combat reporter experienc­ing the discomforts of cam p life and the <langers of patrols, reconnaissance, and res cue missions. The author is more concerned with individual sol· diers, both American and Viet­namese, than he is with the pol­itics or strategy of the war. He c rea t e s a frank, realistic, graphic picture of jungle and guerriJIa warfare.

M. Sivaram, author of "The Viet Nam War: Why?," is an Indian journalist ,,!ho has cov­ered such world troubled spots as Korea, Suez, Malaya and La­os_ H writes in an objective, s t r a i g h t from the shoulder manner. He views Viet Nam as a country at war with itself and of two rival ideologies - Cap-

italism and Communism fighting for control in a strug­gle that could decide the fu­ture of Asia.

Robin Moore, the only civil­ian to graduate from the Spe­cial Forces guerrilla c 0 u r s e at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, went immediately to Viet Nam_ There he was paid the comple­ment of being allowed to go on Vietnamese patrols as a Spe­cial Forces "sergeant." In the powerful novel, "The G r e e n Berets," he writes of his ex­periences with the S p e cia I Forces.

Other recent titles on Viet Nam include: Browne - The New Face of War; Donlon -Outpost of Freedom; Higgins - Our Viet Nam Nightmare; Mecklin - Mission in Torment; Newman-Background to Viet Nam.

A 20-minute Armed Forces Information film, "Asia: The Crucial Arena" can be obtain­ed from Service film libraries or Army audio-visual support centers_ AFLF·161 points out the importance of, and the es­sentials for, an enduring peace in Asia.

Carrier Aircraft Are One Half Of Combat Missions

Nearly 50 per cent of all combat air stri~es over Viet­nam during the >ast 18 months have heen flo' n by carrier­based pilots, ac( ording to Chief of Naval OperaHons Adm. Dav­id L. McDonald.

Pointing to the Navy's role as part of the nation's force in readiness, Adm. McDonald said first air strikes against North Vietnamese targets were flown from aircraft carriers because " they were there ; they were ready ; they were operating on the free oceans, and they could be used at the sole direction of our President."

Speaking before the Nation­al Security Industrial Associa­tion in Los Angeles, the admi­ral noted that while advances were being made in Naval wea­pons systems, "the Air Force's Strategic Air Command, aug­mented by the Navy's Polaris weapons system and our nu­clear'capable aircraft carriers, had successfully achieved our country's higbest priority mis­sion; tbat of deterring a nu· clear conflict."

The admiral said that 98 per cent of all material going into Vietnam today is transport­ed by ship. He explained this includes all trucks, helicopter and aviation fuels; all food , most of the ammunition; all heavy equipment, and all con­struction materials.

NOTS employees are urged to make note of new, improved or intensified methods that achieve better and less costly ways of accomplishing the Sta· tion missions. Actions resulting in identifiable dollar savings through the reduction of oper­ating and material costs that took place during the current fiscal year are reportable un­der the program.

Examples of reportable ac­tions are: Simplification of work metbods, consolidation of functions, Valve Engineering, modified use of surplus equip­ment instead of new procure­ment, and replacement of cer­tain materials with less expen­sive items tbat perform the same function. Actions report­ed under the Cost Reduction Program can also be suhmitted under other programs such as the Beneficial Suggestion Pro­gram.

Silence Can Be Golden

By CHAPLAIN PAUL L. TOLAND

We live in an age of progress. It's a time of push buttons and space rockets. But when history has a chance to look back and size us up, I'm afraid we will be remembered chiefly for our "Noise."

This is the age of racket. Success is often gauged by the amount of noise produced ; this yardstick has been adopted by almost every segment of society. The craving for noise has been given rise to "mass meetings." The more people you can get together, the more noise they will make - and the amount of noise they make will determine how' successful the meeting has been.

For lome unknown re.son, mlln is convinced tha' h. mul' keep opening his mouth. A meeting is • flop if very few pe0.­

ple speak. A husband is accu .. d 01 being unhappy il he comes home and sits quietly in a chair. II he doesn't talk, he's not in love the .... soning goes. The person who ."ioy, r •• ding is judged to be anti·social.

Silence seems to be some kind of plague to modern man . The real reason man fears silence is that when the noise stops he must think and when he thinks he must ultimately ask him· self these questions: "Who am I?" "Where did I come from'" "Why am I here?" and "Where am I going?"

A generation whose senses have been seriously dulled and impaired by the grinding of machines and constant unending talk needs to give serious thought and contemplation to the words of Scripture "Be still - ~nd know that I am God ."

Social Calendar Event Scheduling The Community Relations

Assistant's office maintains an Indian Wells Valley Commun· ity Social Calendar. Any group making plans for any eve n t which will depend upon public participation is encouraged to contact the above office to, first, determine if any 0 the r event is scheduled for the same time, and second, to notify the calendar of the event b e i n g planned.

Fraternal organizations and clubs are also encouraged to call since there is a large per· centage of cross· membership and two organizations schedul·

ing a dance or dinner for the same night could find that af· tendance might suffer w hen members have to choose be· tween activities.

Before you plan that teen· age dance, be sure there isn't one already planned, or that the "big" game of the year ;s not scheduled for that night.

Don't pick a night for that fashion show only to find that the Civic Concert Assn. has a presentation and has enticed your audience away! If all groups will cooperate it may be possible to avoid the dou· ble·scheduling which now oc· curs.

,--'DESERT PHILOSOPHER'----~

Wind and Flowers

By "POP" LOFINCK

The wind blew over the last week-end-in case you didn't notice.

But think nothing of it - the wind always blows in the springtime on the desert. That indicates that spring is almost here - with the flower season. So, be glad .

And the strongest wi nd on the desert is not near as bad as the dense smog in the coastal cities. Altho the wind may be ir· ritating at times - it is not unhealthy. So be glad some more.

Desert sand is not injuriou·s to the lungs - the sand has been blown around for so many eons of time that the particles of sand or dust are rounded and mixed with some alkali dust which acts as a cauteriler.

You may have heard stories of miners getting silicosis from breathing silica dust, while drilling in a hard rock mine - that was because the particles of quartz were sharp and would cut the lungs, with no alkali for a cauterizer.

That was before the law required that the stope be mois· tened in the vicinity of the drilling operation.

So the rounded particles of sand or dust you may breath in I $.lind storm will do you no harm.

The human race has lived on deserts for thousands of years without getting silicosis - because the particles .. e rounded and mixed with alkali dust.

I keep promoting the advantages of the desert as a place to live. A negative feature may be that if enough people move out of the cities to enjoy the sunshine of the big open spaces -eventually there will be no more desert wilderness solitude to enjoy. But even with the population explosion that's probably a long way off. However - move out of the city smog now. to get ahead of the crowd, and live longer.

CAMERAS AND FLOWERS The wild flower season may not be far off. So get your

cameras in condition now. A few warm days will bring out the early blooming variehes.

Fall rains do more good than spring rains. However an· other rain about now will help.

There are usually two springtimes in this Mojave Des· ert. The early bloomers come out - followed by a short return of winter when the early flowers die . Then comes the sec· ond springtime when the late germinating varieties come out in profusion. If the first springtime was late and merged into the later season without a cold spell in between that would be something!

The late blooming varieties require a longer freezing period to crack the inhibitor - that's a hard shell around the seed. Like winter wheat.

The flower most sought after by photographers is the Mar· iposa Lily (Calochortus). Other common names it goes by are Star·tulip and Butterfly·tulip. It is a late bloomer - ranging in color from a deep vermilion red to pale lavender pink to al· most white at higher altitudes.

One favorite deep vermilion gows between 5,000 and 6,000 feet altitude from the top 01 Mountain Springs Canyon to the slope down into Echeron Valley on the map.

Other good areas are on the way to Cole Spring and on up to Coso Peak.

Color transparencies of these lilies are negotiable. People trade them for colors they don't have. Sort of a collector's item. Like collecting butterflies.

To get good pictures go out in the early morning, when the bloom is wide open. As soon as they get enough sunshine they close up. On an overcast day you might get good pictures all day.

You must have a special permit to go to these areas on the North Ranges of the Base.

Generally speaking flowers bloom earlier on the south slope of a hill than on the north slope.

I'm told the flowers are already out south of the Et Paso Mountains.

I have not been out there lately .

,-- THE LOCKER ROOM - -===---::::---

Lifetime Sports

By ED RANCK

One of the less desirable results of our 20th Century world of automation , has been the general decline in the physical fit· ness of the average American citizen. This situation has been apparent to the armed forces for many years, and in recent times has been a matter of growing concern among the na· tion 's leaders. Because of the nature of our present society, it is no longer necessary for most people to expend a large amount of energy working. Therefore, it has become necessary for most of keeping fit.

Several projects have been initiated over the years to cope with this problem, among them the military fitness program, and the projects initiated by the President's Council on PhYSical Fitness. They have been highly successful in the armed forces and among youth groups, however until 1966 there had never been such a program conducted on a nationwide scale.

A LIFETIME OF SPORTS Last year, a group of national leaders in sports and private

industry created the Lifetime Sports Foundation. The Foun· dation is an organization which recognizes the need for indio vidual physical fitness, and has taken positive steps to encour· age it. Under the direction of former Oklahoma football coach Bud Wilkinson, Lifetime Sports began a pilot project in sev· eral locations throughout the country last year, designed to' encourage partiCipation in sports.

The theory is to promote sports participation by teaching the skills needed to thoroughly enjoy them. ' In this way it is felt, the physical exerci .. needed to keep a person both phys· ically and mentally fit will be provided. To accomplish this, four sports were selected to be used in the proiect.

The sports are Tennis, Bowling, Golf ami Badminton. The rcason for the selection of these four is that they can be con· sidered "lifetime" type sports. If an individual learns to play thcm properly, they can be enjoyed even when the person is well along in years.

The program is to be accomplished in several ways. In most project areas. recreation administrators are asked to increase the amount of facilities for these sports if necessary, so tbat more opportunities will be available for participation. In areas having adequate facilities the recreation departments are asked to provide personnel for instruct10n programs, and to evaluate the success of these programs. It is hoped that the more suc· cessful programs will be used as prototypes for other areas.

For the individual, it means a well rounded recreation and sports program. A program that affords the opportunity for everyone to keep physically and mentally fit through partici· pation in sports.

SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM The project began in March of 1966 in eight cities through·

out the country with approximately 76,000 participants. After the first evaluation, it was decided that the project had every cha nce of becoming a success, therefore expansion was plan· ned. This year 110 sites will join the program, and it is expect· ed that well over a half million people will participate.

Among the new areas are Camp Leiuene, Fitzsimmons Ar. my Hospital and NOTS China Lake. China Lake will have the distinction of being the only naval installation involved in the Lifetime Sports program. It's believed that the unique mili· tary·civilian community setup at China Lake will make the base an ideal site for the Foundations Sports programs.

LIFETIME SPORTS AT CHINA LAKE What does this mean to the China Lake community? It

means an increase in the local sports program, and an oppor· tunity for all members of the community to participate in these sports. The recreation department, under the direction of Special Services Director Gabe Imer is in the process of set. ting up various programs which will follow the basic plan of the Lifetime Sports Foundation.

The China Lake Tennis Club will kick off the local project with eight weeks of tennis instruction beginn ing tomorrow at 8 a.m. at the China Lake tennis courts. The club, headed by Cdr. Buck Bustard, will provide instructions for all members of the China Lake-Ridgecrest community. The instructions will be available to all age groups, at a very nominal entrance fee. U will be iust the beginning of the Lifetime Sports program at China Lake. Plans are underway to begin similar instruc. tion programs in the other sports involved. and it is hoped that these programs will begin in the near future.

HOW ABOUT CHESS? We shan't mention names, but a lieutenant at the hospital

has his hand in a cast this week. Now I don't know what reas· on he's gi ving. but I think the circumstances merit space here.

Seems said lieutenant has been taking Karate lessons for sometime, and recenUy was checked out on defensive blows. in particular, how to stop someone who's trying to kick you.

Last Friday he was at Major Frank Caldwell's house for a little get·together, and asked Mark Caldwell (whose age is 13) to "just try" to kick him.

Mark objected on the grounds he didn't want to hurt the officer. but was assured that there would be no problem-so efficient was his Karate that the kick would never reach its mark.

So the stage was set and the players ready. And at the instant that Mark's foot shot forward for the lieutenant's shin, the young officer's superbly conditioned catlike reflexes sent his hand racing in swift defense .

And he broke it ... on Mark's foot. Mark's foot is fine , but a lieutenant at the hospital has his

hand in a cast this week .. .
