Navy Now in Period Of Amazing, Timely Technical Progress

The Navy has been faced with more new engineering developments in the past five years than it encountered in its first one hundred and six­ty, said Rear Admiral Joseph F. Jelley, in a speech this week at the Naval Station be­fore the San Diego post'of the Society of American Military Engineers.

RAdm. Jelley, who is Director of tJ1e Pacific division of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, "';d \bat more YOWlg men must be indoctrinated in military engineering becauoe "for an indeflnile period into the fu­ture" aU aspeots ot our nattonal strength must be promoted.

He indica.led that Ule Navy is now in a period of amazing t.echnical progress and tr&inlng C1f eng1neen was never more essential than now -to the Navy and tile other aerv­i<:e6.

''It took a 10 nog time eJ!X\09t

eighty years from Robert Pulton's first steamboe.t6 to the elim1nal1on

of sails from our warships. 'Ibe change from wood 10 Iron and steel did not take as Iong-neltber did the shim from ooaJ to 011. But bct.h were spread over many yea.rs."

"We are busy wltb \be applleallOD 01 atomic power to ship propulsloll.. We have crasbed lb. SOUDd barrier arul are developiD( supenonle p_ which .... openle from aIrenft canters. We Al'e wrest11nc with a whole _ of (1IIded miaII_ .. bleb have pro due e d almost lDsoIuble problems In melaUnrrY, ObelnlaRy and eleetroniea."

He said Ulat _ de""~

were spectacular but were taldnC pJooe under Ule oompuIsion of a "rteldble urgency." This uraencr fostered by the Inlentions of an "unfriendly power - one that is committed to destroy our ()bhlsu8D

Catholics Change Holy Week Rites

On November 16, 1955. the Sacred COngregation of Rites issued a de­cree which provided for the restora­tion of the order of Services of Holy Week.

Originally the Holy Week rites were performed at the same hours of the same days that the sacred mysteries occurred. The solemn Mass of the Lord's Supper on Thursday evening, the Friday afternoon litur­gical function, and a solemn vigil began on Holy Saturday night and ended Easter moming. But during the Middle Ages, these religious serv­ices were, for various reasons, trans­ferred to the moming hours. Torn from their proper time-setting, they lost their original meaning.

In more recent times another seri­ous change took place. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of Holy Week had long been holy dayS of obliga­tion, so tha.t Catholics, freed from servile works, could be present at the morning services. In 1642, because of a shift 1.0 econoll1ie condlUous, Pope Urban VID was forced to de­clare the Iaat three dan of Holy Week no loucer days of obUpUon. With schools, factories, and business places open DO these days, the sol­emn and Important liturgical serv­Ices have been held In ch~ches that in many c:ases were almost deserted..

The 1llUler11iDc parpooe of the re­form Is to In ...... the devoUon and ~clpallon of the people. Notable featutes of the cbances are these:

On Thursday evening at 8 p.m. there will be an evening Mass to commemorate the Last Supper; on Good Friday, the liturgical rite w1II take place in the afternoon at 4 :45 pm.; and 1Ihe _r Vigil w1II take place at 11:15 pm. Bat~day night to be followed by the Easter mid­night Mass.

Questions Answered On Social Security

One of the most common ques­tions asked by the - station per­sonnel of Tom Hart, Bakersfield Socia.l Security Representative, 18 "After age 65, am I allowed to earn $1',200 a year and draw soc:lal se­curity, or is it $100 a month?" The answer to this is that you may earn $1,200 a year-it is immater­ial when the nwney is earned. You can work for three months at $400, or six months at $200, or 12 months at $100. The only restriction Is that you cannot earn over $1200 during the year. II you do earn over $1,200, then you lose one check for each $80 over $1:100.

'Fund Drive' For Red Cross In Final Week

As the 1956 Red Cross fund cam­paign draws I<l a close both locally and nationally the co-chairmen of the drive in this area have called upon their department captains to make an all-out effort to reach the goal of $6,000. At the close of busi­ness on Tuesday the contributions reported had reached a total of only $2,545. This included $736 collected through the United Fund drive.

In urging full participation sup­porting this national charitable or­ganization, Cdr. J. M. Shea, co-chair­man of the drive, pointed out that in 1955 Indian Wells Valley received financial aid I<ltalllng $5,144 from the Red Cross, although the contri­butions to the Red Cross from this area I<ltaUed only $3,658.

Despite the unusually higb rate of emploJlllent in this area, it was nec­...,.,. last year for the Red Cross to spend 41 % more money here than It received. Unless there Is a larre IQJSIII'I'e of contributions at tht! last moment, Cdr, Shea pointed out, this dtaaUon will, In aU lIkellhood, be _ted acaIn In 1956.

Any persons who have not been oontacted by theiT department rep­resentatives may still send their con­tributions I<l E. A. SOpke, COde 173, treasurer of the local -drive, if they are unable to make their contribu­tions within their depe:rtment. The drive offic1ally closes with the end of Marcb.

er-and-son combination-Bea and Harry Humason-in its Underwater Ordnance Department, Bea Humason, a physi­cist, has been at NOTS Pasadena for ten years, Harry Hum­ason, an engineer, first came to NO'tS seven years ago,

BEA HUMASON RECEIVES a visit from ber son Harry In the analysis laboratory where she works as a physicist. On the job, the Bumasons' paths rarely cross, althoocb both are UOD employees.

She was a math tutor for the federal board for the rehabilitation of engineering students following World War I, and was assistant in the applied mathematics depa.r¢­ment, a branch of the School of Engineering at stanford, where she taught pra.ct1cal aStronomy to en­gineers,

One of the most interesting phas­es of Bea's career was at Mt. Wil­son Observatory, where she worked from 1920 I<l 1928. During this period she published a number of papers on va.r1able stars, star clusters. and sun spots.

Writing from England, Miss Frances Crisp, re­sea.rcb assistant for the Eplstemic Communications Research Unit, The University, Leeds, stated that she Is particularly interested in the technical writing aptitude test be­ing developed by Dr. Prince.

A nwnber of NOTS Pasadena sci­entists and engineers h:::';,;;:: oooperat­ed in the development of the test by serving as "guinea pigs,. and a recent testing of the JPA group revealed two outstanding scores.

Following considerable discussion, :...------------­it was decided that Operation Santa Claus w1ll be conducted as an An­nex project this year. LAOD em­ployees were invited I<l join with NOTS Pasadena, but it was felt that a joint operation Is not f ...... -ible because of complications in accounting procedures.

It was repoJt.ed I<l the oouncii that notification ot the results of the current wage survey will be forthoomlng in June or July. The survey is nearly complete, but. the date must be forwanled tirst I<l Long Beach and then I<l Washing­ton before final results can be an­nounced.
