pored by John Heaton end Jackie Rene for next Tuesday Night's Ice C .. am Social. Any. one for peach, raspberry, or vanilla?

There'l be fun for both young and old alike-homemade ice cream, pies, and cakes-plus coffee and lemonade-at the 14th annual Old·Fashioned Ice Cream Social Tuesday evening on the lawn of the All Faith ChapeL

The gala event, which draws hundreds of local residents yearly, will be held between 6 and 9 p.m.

Harkening back to the days of the "sewing bee," the "barn r a i 5 i n g," and the uauction sale," it is one of the most pop· ular community events of the year.

Candy·striped aproned girls of the Youth Fellowship will serve as junior hostesses at the affair while community and civic leaders, department, di· vision, and hranch heads will man the ice cream dipping.

The event affords newcom· ers to the area, particularly summer employees, junior pro· fessionals, and consultants, an opportunity to become better acquainted, and for old friends to renew friendships.

Tickets are 50 cents per od­ult and 25 cents for children under 12 yeors of age. Tickets may be purchased at the s..­cial or at the Chapel office or from members of the Wom. en's Guild, sponsors of the event.

Proceeds from the event are used to support mission proj·

ects of the Women's G u i I d throughout the year.

S p e cia I entertainment for the children will highlight the Social which will include a c low n act, balloons, and a "dunking booth" manned hy the Senior High youth Group.

Music for the event wilJ be furnished by the Popular Mu· sic Instrumentalists Club.

Borman Named Gemini Pilot, Witnessed liection Tests Here

Will Command Gemini Seven In 14-Day Orbit

FROM UNDER THE SEA TO THE STARS

Frank Borman, one of the seven astronauts who visited the Station last November to witness Gemini escape ejection tests on the SNORT track, has been named as the command pilot for the Gemini 7 mission for 1966 hy the Federal Space Agency.

Telemetry Experts Work For NOTS Changeover To UHF Band By Year 1970

Three NOTS technicians returned recently from Alamo-. gordo, N. M. and a three-day meeting of national telemetry

experts, where they represented the Station's part in the gov· ernment's Range Commanders' Council work to update and expand present range telemet· ry standards.

Robert T. Merriam, head of Timing·Telemetry Branch of Test Deportments Instrument Operations Division; Jack W. Billups, telemetry designer in Astrometric. Division of T est Department; and Harold W. Rosenberg, electronics develop­ment technician with Propul· sion Development D. partment's Quality Assurance Division represented NOT S with the Council's Telemetry Working Group.

In the Group's present agen· da, with three meetings per year scheduled, the conversion of national ordnance ranges from 200 megacycle telemetry hands to two VHF megacycle hands is the prime project. Deadline for this conversion

has been set at January I , 1970. "Until last December," Jack

Billups said, "there was no air or ground equipment to meet the star-()f·the·art. But since then, we've made very goo d progress. The new standards have been fixed, and parts of the 1970 design objectives have been met."

Need Own UHF Bond The changeover pro j e c t

dates to 1958, when military and civilian government mis· sile ranges were given a ten· year tenure in a 200 megacy· cle Very High Frequency (VHF) hand for telemetry.

"We knew then that we would have to develop tech· niques and equipment for our own, exclusive tel erne try bands," says Boh Merriam.

Local Youths Injured In College Lab Blast

. er_ The 30-day experiment will

be held in the Pacific Ocean, about one·half mile off La Jol· la, Calif., in a 57-foot undersea dwelling housing 20 civilian scientists and Navy divers.

The experiment will meas· ure man's effectiveness in per­forming certain functions 210 feet below sea level, in com· parison with how long it takes workmen on land to perform similar activities.

Scientific research projects include checking the 0 c e a n floor drift and determining what effect human presence will have on marine life in the area. A marine life census is also planned.

Two local youths, J 0 s e p h Hihbs, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Hihbs, 700-A Kear· sarge, China Lake, and William Gary Fox, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence J . Fox, 449 Ridgecrest Blvd., and grand· son of the valley's pioneer, the late Joe Fox, were seriously injured in a laboratory explo­sion at Bakersfield Coli e g e Tuesday.

24 Inlured Hibbs and Fox were among

18 summer students injured when two U non - compatible" chemicals exploded, shatter· ing every window in the class­room laboratory. Twenty·four stUdents were in the class· room at the time of the ex· plosion.

In addition to the two local youths, Virginia Newberry, 20,

of OiJdale, received critical in· juries.

It was reported that H i h h s suffered head injuries and Fox a mangled hand in the blast .

Police officer Ray Ragusa, one of the first on the scene, is reported as say i n g "It looked worse than any war I was in." .'

Both Hihbs and Fox are graduates of Burroughs High School. Hihbs, Class of '65, was an active participant in varsi· ty haseball, as well as a vet· eran of the Station's Colt and Pony Leagues.

Fox, Class of '64, lettered in track, baskethall, and foothall, and was a member of the EI Burro Year Book staff.

Hihbs' parents are pioneer Station residents. His father is head of AOD's Electro-Mechan· ical Branch.

Explain NOTS ASW Support Role

Captain G. H. Lowe, Officer in Charge, NOTS Pasadena, was a guest speaker last Wednesday at the American Ordnance Ass0-ciation's meeting at the Huntington Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena.

Describing the Naval Ord· nance Test S tat ion, China Lake-Pasadena, Captain Lowe said:

"The Naval Ordnance Test Station with headquarters at China Lake, is the largest re­search and development activ­ity in the Navy. It is under

CAPT. G. H. LOWE

the command of Captain John 1. Hardy who is an outstand­ing technically oriented offic­er and a distinguished milita­ry man. Dr. W. B. McLean is our Technical Director and one of the truly-outstanding scientists in the nation."

NOTS Philosophy Capt. Lowe described the

NOTS developed philosophy of

operation involving a civilian­military industry team, who work together in achieving a high quality of weapons and equipment that ultimately find their way into our Armed Forces.

"The technic.1 tllk of cr. ativity," h. 'Iid, "is the ~ main of the c'ivil service per· sonnel and it i. enh.nced by the military operational .x .... rience _ .. sed by the offic· "" end enlilted penonn" II­signed.

"We feel a sense of person­al responsibility for the qual­ity of the products w h i c h come from NOTS.

"The civilian - military team works to achieve good design, reliability, producibility, main­tainability, and reasonable cost. We strive to develop a production source which will preserve and produce in quan· tity for the f1 e e t the NOTS products. "

Explaining that NOTS ASW effort is quite extensive and ranges from studies of weap­ons, and complete weapons systems requiring the opera· tion of a successful lahorato­ry, this is accomplished ,through competent people. Captain Lowe lauded the ma­ny highly competent technical and scientific personnel.

Capt. Lowe cited ASROC, MK 44 and MK 46-0 II some of our most ....... t .. compo lishmentl, .nd exam pi.. of the labo .. tory-contr.dor teem work.

Also, he described the deep recovery operations of the Sys· tems Operations Division of Underwater Ordnance Depart­ment, and the two vehicles now in us~the YFU 53 (for­merly LCU 1446) and CURV.

He explained the savings in project money through recov­ery of expended ordnance it­ems for reuse. Also, the value of being able to recover a tor­pedo or missile and examine it for weakness or malfunction thus correcting and improving the design in a minimum of time.

Captain Lowe described his tour of duty at NOTS as one

. of the most rewarding of his career.

The largest military cata­paults were capable of throw­ing a 60-lb. missile 500 yd • . , during the days of the Rom­ans.

Telemetry Experts ' Work For NOTS Changeover

(Continued from Peg. I)

"Accordingly, UHF (Ultra High Frequency) was studied, and the 1435 and 2200 mega· cycle areas selected for devel· opment by the Inter-Range In­strumentation Group, one of the Council's three primary di· visions, of which the Telemet­ry Working Group is one of ten sub-groups."

He pointed out that the chief problem in the band changeover is to ensure high quality signal transmission in UHF - at least comparable to that obtained in VHF. Stu· dy to this end is underway.

"We have run some prelimin. ary propagation flight te.ts, and will lOOn begin a .eri .. of te.ts wherein we plan dired comparison between simultan· eous transminion of data 0"'" UHF .nd VHF links," Merri· am reports. '~.riou. pieces of equipment are now being built ol.ewher. or .dapted here, and we will be t .. ting ov.r land and sea ranges/' Fir I t testing was begun in April, 1964.

The second of NOTS' group of tests in this project is to be­gin in two to three weeks. In preparation for it, conversion is in progress on a T-9 "Sky­sweeper" Army anti-aircraft gun antenna and a Nike-Ajax missile tracking antenna into UHF telemetry antenna sys­tems. A new airborne trans­mitting package will be on its way soon from the Naval Ord­nance Laboratory at Corona, California.

Steering Committee to Maet In September this year, fur­

ther progress is expected in smoothing the track for the conversion project when the Inter - Range Instrumentation Group S tee r i n g Committee meets. Fred M. Ashbrook, head of Test Department's In· strument Development rlivi·

sion, sits on that committee for the Station.

Merriam projected that be­sides inter·range coordination work, costing for the program would get special attention from committee members, and would be given firmer out­lines. He said that NOTS' share would probably run to a little over one miJlion dollars.

The four primary working divi· .ion. of the Council .re thl Inter· R.nge Instrument.tion Group, he.ded by the S_· ing Committee and containing working groups of which thl T.lemetry Working Group i. one; the Int.r.Range Mi.sile Flight Safety Group; thl Inter· Range MiSlile Ground S.fety Group, and the newly c~ .. t. ered Inter·Range Operatoons Planning Group.

The Council was formed on August 7, 1951 as the Range Commanders' Conference, and adopted its present name in 1963. Its purpose is to provide informal contact between the range commanders and their technical people to exchange information of mutual interest. It has seven member ranges.

Associated with the Council and the Instrumentation Group are representatives from about 50 government organizations, including the Department <:>f Defense, the three services, NASA, the Coast Guard and the Bureau of Standards.

Hot Keglers Clean~ Up With Record Barrage

BY KEN RICH

A grand total of 18 of the Summer Bowling League's 50 red·hot keglers - over one third of the total - scored 500 or better series in action on Wednesday, July 7. I just wish t hat space would permit a listing of all of them. What a night that was!

Slim Allison's Sag e 'Brush Fire Extinguishers put out the fire of the Beaver Patrol by crushing the Flat Tails 2,397 to 2,165. Frank Holley turned in another nice series of 546.

The B ron z e Bombers, led by Jim Sim's 526 tromped on Skeeter Brown's Desert Motors and took three games. The sagging V·8's only joy was the 544 series of Jack Brown.

The old saying of "lots of luck - all bad" seems to hold true for the Apes. They ran into the surging Guidance Ra­dar Br. No Names and dropped three games to Mil­

' liken's Mets. The Mets were led by Ken Rich (!) with a 531 series.

An inspired NAF Crabs team walked over the dismal GRB Pin Busters. The Crabs took all four games by a high team series margin of 2,504 to 2,305. Ed Pyle led the winners with a 233 high game and a 557 s e r i e s. The Crabs took high team game too, with a 932.

VX-5 wins by a broken arm forfeit. in the fourth inning Wednesday night VX-5's Joe Pereze tried to score from third base as catcher Wendell Sackett of NOTS with ball in hand tried for the tag and struck Pereze on the shoulder and broke his arm and as NOTS had no more bench the game ended there in the fourth in­ning, giving VX-5 an 8 to 1 vic· tory.

Don Meritt and his Vampires as the big pitcher gave up on­ly four scratch hits to the Side­winders but the Sidewinders new comer Jim Ayers did it again with another inside the park homerun (with the help of a double and two errors by the Vampires) but it was a losing fight for the Sidewinrl­ers. ("But wait till next year").

Tuesday, July 13 NOTS 5, NAF 4

NOTS came alive to top NAF. Early in the game NAF's

catcher Stan Salmi who just reo turned from his honeymoon to­day dropped the third strike of the second out in the third inning and then a wild throw along with a couple more er­rors helped NOTS score two runs. But a game winning trip­le by JOE KUHAR who went four for four for the night iced the game for NOTS to get them a tie for the cellar.

Kunr Photo 3, VX·5 0 Bert Galloway shut out VX-
