Safety Council Gives Tips On Using Gasoline

Here are some tips on how to keep the harness on t his powerful workhorse:

1. If you need gasoline at your home for your power lawn mower or similar equip· ment, keep it stored in an ap­proved gasoline container. The container should be red and I abe led as follows: "GASO­LINE DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE (HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED) Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Keep contain· er closed.

2. Never store gasoline in a g I ass container. The glass could break and cause a fire.

3. Store the gasoline out of your home if possible. It is ad· visable to restrict the quantity you keep at home to be one gallon or less.

4. Do not use gasoline to clean paint brushes, clothing and other household i tern s. Use a product that will not pro· duce flammable vapors below 100 degrees F., as an exam· pie, stoddard solvent.

5. Turn off the engine on your lawn mower, and other gasoline engine devices, when you refill the gasoline tank. Use a funnel or spout to fill the tank and avoid spilling gas· oline on the engine. If the en· gine is hot, let It cool a few minutes before you fill the tank. Keep metal to metal con· tact between the gasoline con· tainer and the tank on the en· gine. Do not refuel your lawn mower in the garage. Take it outside.

6. Do not use gasoline to start a fire in your outdoor gri1l or in your fireplace . The use of gasoline for this pur· pose has caused many serious burns and some fatalities . Al· so, avoid using gasoline to reo kindle hot coals.

7. Avoid having your car's gas tank overfilled just be­fore parking it in the ga,rage. The gasoline may expand and run out onto your garage floor. A source of ignition, such as a clothes dryer or a hot water heater, could ignite the vap· ors.

8. When you haul a small can of gasoline in your car trunk for your outboard motor or your camp stove, I e a v e room in the can for expansion. Of course, use only an approv­ed gasoline container.

9. Anytime you transfer gas­oline from one container to an· other, do that joh outside in the open air away from sourc­es of ignition. This will per­mit the vapors to dis per s e quickly and safely. Remember - No Smoking!

Gasoline puts power at your finger tips. Use it and enjoy it, but use it safely.

Navy Uniform Man Due Here Monday

A representative of the Nav­al Uniform Shop will be at the Navy Exchange main ret a i I store on Monday, July 11. Of· ficers and Chief Petty Officers interested in purchasing uni· forms, or uniform accessories, may see him for fittings in the men's department from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In The Beginning Ciptain Oscar A. Sandquist

USN (Re!.) paid a visit to NOTS this week and recalled some of the old days when he was the first Officer In Charge of Construction here. During his visit he spoke in detail of the many problems and humorous situations that developed dur­ing his tour of duty.

Gets Orders "I received my orders early

in 1944," .Iid Sindquist. "They were so secret that I couldn't even tell my fami Iy where I was taking them.

"We arrived in Inyokern and everything was sagebrush. The town consisted of one corner rooming house, a small groc· ery store and one bar. What a Sight!

"Our first job was to build quarters for the construction crews," he related. "That was no problem, but getting the construction crews was some­thing else again. We had the lowest priority of any Govern· ment project at the time, and men were impossible to find ."

Recruiters Sant Out Recruiters were sent to the

East and Midwest to hire help. They were told that their mov· ing costs would be paid and that they were going to China Lake. What happened aft e r that, according to Sandquist, was really something to see.

Bring Boat~-"Workers from .11 over the

country c.me pouring in," he excl.imed, "and wh.t a laugh to _ many of them towing their boats." Why not? Weren't

they coming to China Lake? The purchasing of land also

presented its problems. Nego­tiations were begun early in December 1943 for portions of the Indian Wells Valley in Kern, Inyo, and San Bernardino counties which included the In­yokern Airport. The area con­sisted largely of undeveloped Public Domain, used principal· Iy for cattle grazing and marg­inal mining operations.

Price. Jumped It ....... th.t when a lot of

the miners with worked - out claims heard' th.t the Govern· ment w. n te d the land, the cl.im. were no longer worked out. Pri ... went .ky high.

Although construction was just getting under way, Cal. ~cb. was already busy devel­oping the first missiles. This meant that target sites a Iso had to be built.

terned .fter .ctual plans for. J.pen_ machine gun n est, and one of the first miuil .. fired .t it w.s n.med "Holy Moses" .lter .n excl.m.tion overheard during the firing.

One of the outstanding mi­racles of those early days is the fact that nearly all of the present facilities were comple· ted in permanent form by the end of the first year, and over 10,000 people were h 0 Ii sed. Most of the credit, according 'to Sandquist, goes to the close relationship of the employees.

The targets are located at elevations varying from 7,000 to 8,000 feet in a rolling bill terrain. The area is covered with Pinon Pine, Juniper trees and b r u s h, offering natural camouflage. The colors of the vegetation follow ihe seasonal trend, and because of the ele· vation, snow during the winter months is normal.

The valley floor of Coso Range, on which most of the targets are located, is border· ed on the east and west by mountains that provide unob­structed locations for control sites and spotting stations.

Learning

To Love By CHAPLAIN THOMAS D_ BOND

The greatest and most glorious of all the potentials in the make-up of man and the holiest of all opportunities open to him is his ability to love and be loved. And because it is so pre­cious and so profound and so heavenly, it is more worthy of suslained, reverent, disciplined and intelligent pursuit than any other value or goal.

MORE FRUITFUL TO FORGIVE AND FORGET

Because it is of God and because whosoever loves warmly, unselfishly and intelligently is born of God and knows God, nothing else under heaven is more deserving of earnest study and sustained practice. In no endeavor is it more important or more rewarding to get up and start again after falling. In no undertaking is it more fruitful to forgive and forget each time one is set back. In no pursuit can one more efficiently move on to higher and holier levels after disciplined attempts to learn in lower and simpler ways.

Most of us ... Inclined to NII.rd our present .tot ••• IMt­ter .nd h •• lthl.r th.n it re.lly i. .nd to und .... tim.t. our capacity .nd .bility for Mu .. blill_ Chri.ti.nity, on the other hind, regords our p ...... t .t.te II much low.r .nd .... .c-ceptoble th.n we ... reedy to .dmit whil.

We tend to overestimate our ability to love and to accept love and to rloubt our ability to grow greatly or to emerge fin­ally into greater fulfillment by the grace of God. Christianity, on the other hand, implies that we were made for eventual ful­fillment in love and directs us to love with all our hearts and minds and wills and to expect growth and enrichment.

Gun Club Members Hold High-Power Rifle Match

Nine riflemen and four coaches turned out for The Sierra Desert Gun Club's June monthly high - power r i fie match held recently. as a part of the club's marksmanShip training program.

The program is encouraged and supported by the United States Army through The Na­tional Board For The Promo­tion of Rifle Practice and the Director of Civilian Marksman­ship.

Under this program the Ar­my furnishes the club a max­imum of eight M1 rifles and a limited amount of ammunition. determined by the number of civilian club members firing for qualification the previous year.

The high score of the day was fired by Phil Nelson with a 199-8V out of a possible 210-42V. The top score in the ex­pert class was 195-7V, fired by Leandro Cunningham. howev­er, his score cannot be used to qualify for next year's am­munition since he is a mem­ber of the armed forces. Ger­ald Hewett turned in the win­ning performance in the sharp­shooter class when he posted a 166-2V.

All firing in this match was conducted from the 200 yard line of the NOTS rifle range. The match was one of approx­imately six iron - sight events fired each year that can lead to the qualification of c I u b members as marksman, sharp­shooter, or expert riflemen by the Army.
