· Committee Is Urging More Participation

During the Fiscal Year 1953 a total of 74 suggestions wer~ submitted to the Efficiency Awards Committee at WSPG

' James O'Donnell, chairman, reported this week.

So far in the Fiscal Year 1954 (July and August 1953) , the committee has received 30 suggestions. If this rate continues, by the end of the Fiscal Year (30 June 1954), a total of 180 suggestions will have been received.

"This increase in the number of suggestions submitted sub­mitted. shows an encouraging trend m employee interest and their desire to improve th~ ef­ficiency of the Proving Ground " Mr. O'Donnell said. '

Only Few Divisions Yi:t, strangely enough, the sug­

gestions so far received during this year seem to originate in only a few divisions, the chair­man added. Private industry be­lieves that those shops or offices in a plant which submit the greater number of beneficial ideas are the ones possessing the most progressive leadership at all supervisory levels. S e c t i o n, branch and division chiefs who are the ones most open to sug­gestions are usually the ones who are found to be conductin g the most efficient shops and offices.

The following tabulation shows the source of suggestions receiv­ed by the Efficiency Awards Committee during the past two months. Percentage of participa­tion is arrived at by dividing the number of suggestions received from each division by the num-

Dangerous for Children Children standing up in auto­

mobiles are an inviation to dis­aster, the Dona Ana Safety Coun­cil warns parents.

If you have to stop suddenly, children standing up in automo­bile seats are thrown forward, often with serious results. For safety's sake, see that children remain seated when they are rid­ing in your automobile.

Before the unveiling of the monument, Major Harold A. Mercier, WSPG Chaplain, deliv­ered a short prayer.

A veteran of eight years and six months honorable Navy service, Holland had been at the Proving Ground since August 31, 1952. A familiar and popular personality at the pool the twenty-six-year­old enlisted man demonstrated an enthusiastic fondness for children which was reciprocated by his many swimming students.

Ll Col. Van Ness Leaves for Presidio

Lt. Col. Robert G. Van Ness, WSPG's Acting Assistant Inspec­tor General, left the Proving Ground last week for a new as­signment in The Presidio, Cali­fornia.

EDITORIAL

Do You Care? Tell any parent or driver that he apparently doesn't

care whether his child is killed and he probably will be ready to fight.

But anyone familiar with traffic on the expanding post at WSPG might well be excused if he formed that conclusion.

Despite warnings, police patrols and numerous appeals, children-little children- still are permitted to play carelessly in the streets, many times blocking traffic, despite nearby sidewalks and playgrounds.

Despite warnings, police activity and safety cam­paigns, some drivers are still tearing through 20-mile zones at 40 or 50, rounding curves with screeching wheels, endangering lives of children who are hard put to escape.

Put careless parents and careless drivers together and you've got Death, if not today tomorrow.

Of course, if you don't care--

Up to Date on the JJ8th

By McGonagle No. l

Despite all predicted casualties for Labor Day weekend, the troops of the 138th enjoyed a safe and sane holiday. A "ball" was had by all. The portals of the Carlsbad "calaboose" and the Juarez "bastile" have swung open to emit t he more raucous ple&sure seek ers of the 138th.

In keeping with Army policy, the physical well being of the soldier was taken into deep consideration and the C-rations which normally are served on Monday wer e saved until Tues­day. This switch prevented all those happy troops who had left for the Labor Day weekend from missing even one serving of that canned goodness, fondly called C-rations by all who don the khaki.

History of Printed Newspapers Dates Back to Year 1340 A. D

As Seen by Shaw

The first printed newspaper• was published by Andrew Brad­was probably the "TI CHAU," better known as the Peking Gaz­ette, in the year 1340 AD. It was printed on coatse paper, one side only, with wooden type.

Toward the close of the Fif­teenth Century, after the inven­tion of printing, small sheets in epistolary form appeared in Augsburg, Vienna, Ratisbon and Nuremburg. They were called "Relationem" and "Newe Zey­tung" and gave, in addition to local news events, the account of the discovery of America.

In the year 1562 in Venice, the "Notizie Scritte," a monthly paper, appeared which is said to be the first Italian newspaper. The price was a coin called gaz­etta; hence the name gazette be­came the popular name for news­papers.

First English Papers The history of English news­

papers dates back to 1462 when a bulletin called "Relations" ap­peared in England. This and sev­eral later bulletins contained only single pieces of intelligence. The first newspaper printed in Eng­lish appeared in Amsterdam, 2 December 1620. It was a folio sheet printed on both sides issued by the Dutch book-seller Petrus Keerius and his printer, Joris Veseler.

In America the history of journalism dates back to Septem­ber 25, 1690, when Ben Harris of Boston issued the first periodical. Harris requested his readers to furnish him with a list of persons who were starting and circulating many false rumors in the town of Boston. His conviction was that these lies and falsehoods were en­dangering the serenity of the populace. In other words, his plan was to publish a list of liars which surely would have sold many copies. However, the authorities squelched the plan.

The name of the paper was to be "Public Occurrances, both Forreign and Domestick." Only one issue of the bulletin did ap-pear.

Early Boston Papers John Campbell, the postmaster

in Boston, issued the "Boston News-Letter" on 24 April 1704. It was printed on half a sheet of pot paper 71hxl2 1h" with small pica type. Its contents were ma­rine news from New York, Phila­delphia and New London, extracts from English papers and a lone advertisement. The latter was Campbell's own.

In 1719 the "Gazette" was start­ed in Boston and in 1721 the "New England Courant" appear­ed, published by James Franklin. In the meantime in Philadelphia the "American Weekly Mercury"

ford, in 1719. Firs! Daily Newspaper

The first paper issued in New York was the "New York Gazet­te" in October 1725. The Saturday Evening Post was published in 1728 in Pennsylvania.

It must be remembered that up to the time of the publication of the "American Daily Advertiser" in 1774 in Philadelphia, the news­papers were not daily affairs but published when the news events took place. Much of the copy was extracted from such papers which arrived from Europe.

With the advent of the Adver­tiser, daily news events were in­corporated into the copy and is­sued. In fact Jefferson used this medium to oppose the Federal section of Washington's adminis- ~ tration.

The first successful penny paper was the "New York Sun" published by Benjamin H. Day in 1833. This paper was the first paper appearing which followed , the pattern of the present day 1.,.~ ""' ,.,.

--------- ··----Naval Reserve Officers To Be Released in 1954

WASHINGTON (AFPS)-Let­ters have been mailed to 1,982 Naval Reserve officers on active duty notifying them that they will be issued orders releas­ing them from active duty in the near future. Officers receiving the notices will be released in January 1954. No additional re­leases are contemplated, the Navy said.

A breakdown of those being released is as follows:

CAPT 39; CDR 466; LCDR 688; and LTs (including junior grade) 743. To be retired (all ranks): 46.

GETS MOVIE BID-Going up the steps to fame and fortune is curvaceous Myrna Hansen, who in the recent "Miss Universe" contest was named "Miss U. S. A." Incidentally, for literal minded service personnel, :!he letters "U. S. A." of her title do not mean that she is the property of the United States Army.

Testing a group for vehicle driving licenses, the testing offi­cer asked of the class at large if anyone knew the true meaning of "split second timing."

One hopeful applicant raised his hand and stated: "I cannot de­fine it too accurately in words, but a good example is the guy I u sually find behind me when I am waiting out a red light. The minute the light turns amber, this jerk blows his horn."

* * * This man undoubtedly passed

his test with flying colors. Seem­ingly he knew that a courteous driver uses the horn only as a warning in emergencies, or gent­ly as a polite signal. People who would never dream of bawling a vocal protest when delayed by pedestrian travel, when they themselves are on foot, will at a moment's delay in traffic blast away at every hesitancy of the car ahead.

When driving it may be neces­sary to blow the horn to prevent an accident, but no qualified driver ever charges at an indivi­dual or crowd of persons on foot seemingly trying to blast them out of the way with his strident

There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, if taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.

WASHINGTON (AFPS)-An unofficial world altitude record of 83,235 feet has been set by Lt. ~ol. Marion E. Carl, USMC, fly­mg the D558-II Skyrocket.

The new mark was set during tests of a newly developed high altitude pressure suit at Edwards AFB, Calif., Aug. 21, 1953. The previous altitude record of 79,-494 feet was set in the same air­plane Aug. 15, 1951 by Bill Bridgeman, a Douglas test pilot.

The Skyrocket was not launch­ed from the ground but instead first carried by a "mother" B-29 to 34,000 feet. There it was air launched. Within a few seconds, the four rockets which power the small, wing-swept craft had car­ried it past the speed of sound.

Although the supply of rocket fuel was exhausted by the time the plane reached 75,000 feet, its momentum pushed it to the rec­ord height. Afterwards, Col. Carl coasted into his landing at about 150 miles per hour.

The new altitude mark will not be recognized as official by the Federation Aeronautique Inter­nationale, the recognized sanc­tioning body for official world's records, because their rules spe­cify that aircraft have to take off from the ground under their own power. The Skyrocket was carried up before its air launching.

Determination of the altitude reached was made by radar equipment on the ground. It is accurate at that altitude to plus or minus 100 feet.

The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.

Angel's wings- or a coal scoop -very often await the arrival of the boating enthusiast who re­fuels his outboard or inboard en­gine while the motor is hot. . Fire ~t. sea is a serious thing­m fact It IS one of the' outstanding dreads of the experienced marin­er. It also should be a very im­portant factor for all boat owners and operators, whether they op­erate on salt or fresh water in any m otored craft.

Pouring gasoline in an over­heated outboard motor can be as deadly as tickling a rattlesnake under the chin in the hopes that he is in a good humor. In extremE emergencies it may be necessary, but these very rarely arise.

+ + Over the long Labor Day week-

end we noted that a family lost their lives when a boat exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Not stated was the type of engine employ­ed. It is our wild guess, if we may be permjtted to do so, that the craft was of the inboard type.

Many proud amateur smallcraft owners think that the engine hatch was placed there for a comfortable seating place and to protect the motor from salt or fresh water spray. Both premises are correct. However, a closed hatch can, and does, allow a dan­gerous accumulation of highly explosive vapors under certain conditions.

+ + Neophyte boat builders will too

often disregard this important fact when building their "dream boat." All gasoline-powered en­gines need ventilation and, to be on the safe side, it is wise to be extra cautious to provide this ne­cessary circulation of air to pre­vent unlooked-for explosions.

In manning a craft of this type it is good life insurance to lift the engine hatch cover from time to time-or leave it open when the "sailing is smooth"-to forestall the possibility of disaster. ..

He just growled at me. "Your whites were not white!"

"Dog-gonnit,'' I said, "I don't do my laundry, the laundry does that. They were cream colored, which is almost white."

"Looked like dungarees," he growled again, "and why did your outfit wait around for an hour-why didn't you shove off?" "That is SOP," I told him. "That means Standard Operating Pro­cedure, and the Navy always gets there ahead of time so that they can be on time.' '

"Look who's talkin' about being on time," he said, and started to walk away. "For anything,'' he added over his shoulder. Then he stopped. "People are stupid." He looked me over car efully. 'And I mean all of 'em." Then he kept on walking.

"But it was a good parade," he said.

Rockets Metully Tames Vets 15-3, Sets Control Record

The White Sands Rockets trav­elled to Alamogordo last Sunday, defeating the host team, 15-3 in what represented the final game for both teams.

The Alamo Vets, competing in the six team Upper Valley Lea­gue, finished their league season in second place, just one game away from the crown. Unfortun­ately for the Vets, they experien­ced one of their off-days in bow­ing to the Rockets for the third time this year.

The Vets found the slants of Rocket hurler Frank Metully not to their liking one bit as they scored just three times over the nine inning route. Although Metully gave up 11 hits, he was master throughout, displaying excellent control in issuing no walks.

Gearou Homers in Rally Metully and Alamo pitcher,

Madrid locked horns in a tight pitching duel as neither side scored until the Vets pushed over a single marker in the bottom of the 3rd inning.

The Rockets came back in the top of the 4th, capitalizing on three errors and four hits to score seven times. Following a walk to Shaw to start the inning, both Adams and Jones reached base via errors, the latter on a well placed bunt which scored Shaw from 2nd base.

Charley Staats followed with a single scoring Adams and send­ing Jones all the way down to 2nd base. Metully then legged to first on another fielding error, Jones scoring in the interum for the third run of the frame.

Still with none out, Russ Gea­rou clouted the first pitch over the center fielder's head for a home run, scoring Staats and Metully ahead of him.

Two quick outs followed, but the Vets were not yet out of trouble. Gatto drew a walk and stole 2nd, scoring the seventh and final run of the inning on Shaw's single to right.

Atthis point, the Alamo chuc­ker relinquished his position to portsider Hilliard who promptly had his no-hitter ruined by George Adams, greeting the new­comer with a single. Some idiot base running abruptly ended the rally at this point, with the Roc­kets now safe in front with a 7- 1 advantage.

Staats Gets 4 Hits Alamo's scor ing tenures were

brief as they dented the plate just twice more, picking up singletons in the 7th and 8th innings. Mean­while, the Rockets continued laying wood to the ball as they scored in all of the last four frames.

Charley Hill led off the 6th with a hit and promptly stole 2nd. Although caught in a run down, Hill wiggled free to score from 2nd on another er ror for the eighth Rocket run.

Five more were added in the 7th frame.. Staats collected his

third hit of the day and also pro­ceeded to steal 2nd. Metully's sin­gle that followed sent Staats to 3rd with the latter denting the plate on a steal of home.

A walk to Gearou and Cara­vello's hit loaded the bases. Gat­to drew a base on balls forcing Metully acros sand Shaw's fly to right scored G ear o u. Cara­vello and Gatto then romped home on Adams' base knock to complete the scoring in that stan­za.

Even with a 13-2 lead, the Roc­kets continued unabated in their final outing of the season. S taats began the 8th with his fourth hit, a double to left center. After reaching 3rd, Staats again stole home for his second successful theft of the plate.

Hustle Pays Off Hill wound up the scoring in

the 9th by scampering home on a wild pitch after singling and stealing 2nd base.

The Rockets, in closing out the season with a 33 and 18 won-loss record, hustled to the last out. Although only two extra base blows were recorded by the sandmen, they literally ran the home team ragged in stealing a total of eight bases while getting the full benefit of their 14 hits.

In accomplishing what no other White Sands pitcher could do all season; that of hurling a complete game without giving up a walk, Frank Metully added to his p er ­sonal pitching record the feat of hurling his last 23 consecutive in­nings without issuing a single base on balls.
