FRIENDS OF MATURANGO MUSEUM HONORED - Betty siurman (sealed), and (I.·r ., slanding) Audrey Bowen, Clare Hunter and Julie Penny were among the Friends of the Museum members honored at the group's annual tea on Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 18, held in the home of Rear Admiral and Mrs. Paul E. Pugh. The tea was planned as a means of showing appreciation for the work done throughout the past year by the Friends of the Museum. It also provided an opportunity for new mem·

bers to meet others active in this all·volunteer group. More than 135 women aHended the affair. Among those in aHendance was Mrs. Pugh's mother, Mrs. Coppock, from Whinier, calif.

Sign Up Now for Stop Smoking Clinics I Registration is now being taken

for the first in a series of month­long sessions for persons in· terested in breaking the smoking habit, following an indoctrination and organization meeting that was held Tuesday afternoon at the Community Center.

The advance response indicates that there are enough persons interested to enable two "stop smoking" clinics to be offered. However, if the actual registration pushes the enrollment beyond a total of 18 persons, which is believed to be the maximum desirable size of such groups, an additional clinic will be scheduled.

Those interested in registering for the stop smoking clinics, whether or not they attended Tuesday's organizational session, can do so by phoning NWC ext. 2911 any week day between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., and asking for

Marie. The first " stop smoking" clinic

will begin on Oct. 9 and be held on subsequent Tuesday and Thursday evenings, starting at 7:30, in the Yucca Room at the Community Center. A second clinic is scheduled in the same place on Wednesdays and Fridays at 2:30 p.m., beginning on Oct. 10.

All clinic sessions will be two hours in duration, and excused time will be granted to Civil Ser­vice employees in order that they may attend. The program is open to all active duty and retired military personnel and their dependents, as well as to Civil Service employees and their dependents.

In discussing the clinics, LCdr. J. J. Mason, Administrator of the NWC Medical Department, stated that this program, developed by the American Cancer Society, has

been cited by many as being the most successful of any of the ap­proaches to date in helping problem smokers to quit the habit.

Group participation is given as the reason for the program's success. The group will explore each individual's reasons for starting the habit and examine their desire to quit, as well as their sensations while smoking. In addition, past attempts that have been made to quit smoking, and why they met with failure, also will be discussed.

Such topics are stressed, ac­cording to the American Cancer Society, because smokers tend to be insecure in their desire to quit and assign reasons outside themselves for the failure of their attempts.

The program is constructed in such a way as to allow for both the exploration of one's desires to quit smoking, and also to provide the opportunity to do so. While the ultimate goal is complete air stension from tobacco, a signifi­cant decrease in one's consmnp-­tion is an acceptable and success­ful result.

'74 United Way Campaign Kick-off Luncheon Slated

A kick..,ff luncheon marking the start of the 1974 ' United Way of Indian Wells Valley fund drive will be held next Wednesday, Oct. 3, starting at 11 :30 a.m. at the Chief Petty Officers' Club

Community leaders and busi­nessmen have been invited to attend the luncheon, along with representatives of member agen­cies that will share in contri­butions made to the United Way during the upcoming campaign.

Primary purpose of the lunch­eon, according to Ray Miller,

Applicants For School Board Vacancy Sought

Applicants are currenUy being sought to fill a forthcoming vacancy on the China Lake Elementary School District board of trustees.

Rod McClung, a member of the governing board of the China Lake School District for the past six years, has submitted his resignation effective Oct. I, and a replacement is needed who will serve until next June 30, 1974, when the board will be dissolved as the new unified school district com­mences operation.

McClung's resignation at this time is due to the fact that he has retired after more than 27 years as an employee at the Naval Weapons Center and is now living in Ridgecrest - outside the boun­daries of the China Lake Elementary School District.

Persons interested in filling McClung's place on the governing board of the China Lake School District are invited to submit a letter indicating this desire and listing their qualificaticns and community service background.

Agreement Covering Operation Of Hospital Heliport Signed

Operational responsibilities for the Rotary Club of China Lake­sponsored heliport, located di­recUy opposite the Ridgecrest ColTlIl!unity Hospital on Navy­owned land, were formally en­dorsed last Friday in a brief ceremony at the hospital.

Those signing the agreement were Rear Admiral Paul E . Pugh, NWC Commander; Mayor Ken­nety M. Smith, Jor the Cjty of Ridgecrest; Ray Van Aken, president of the hospital's bOard of directors, and Sandy Paulin, operator of the Ridgecrest Am­bulance Service.

The heliport, a three-year humanitarian project initiated and ' financed by the local Rotary Club, was approved by the. Federal Aviation Administration for daylight use in March of this year. It has· been used on several oc­casions since that time for picking up patients in need of emergencY medical treatment.

The Sept. 21 ceremony involved the signing of a memorandum agreement by officials re­presenting the four major com­munity interests involved with the heliport's operations.

Under the agreement, op-

erational usage of the heliport will be controlled by the Com­manding Officer of nearby Naval Air Facility (at the present time, Capt. R. S. Moore), who will notify the NWC Director of Security (currenUyWilliam E. Davis) when a helicopter with injured personnel aboard is inbound to the heliport

implied a grant to the government of royalty free use of the work because of these actions.

Government Clearance Every government officer or

employee naturally owes the ut­most loyalty to his employer. He is under a legal and moral obligation to use his best endeavors not only to utilize all of his abilities, knowledge and experience in the perfonnance of his job but also to protect against disclosure of in­formation which is subject to secur ity regulations. The disclosure of information that could affect the national defense should not be published and adequa te sa feguards are necessary to protect against the release of this infonnation.

Official Federal government publications usually present no problem in this area. Nonnally these writings are subject to both security and technical review by a uthorized persons within the agency that is preparing the work for publication. An example is the instructions promulgated by the Naval Weapons Center titled, "Program for Publications and Related Printing," which is a comprehensive work covering procedures to be followed before public release of official govern­ment works.

Clearance May Be Required

Personal works of employees to be published, although not prohibited from copyright, may be subject to government agency clearance requirements. Gen­erally, agencies encourage their employees to write as private individuals on their own time, but if the subject matter concerns the agency or is within its function, then the agency may require that the work be cleared for security or policy reasons before publication.

Writings by government em­ployees in their capacity as private citizens on subjects that concern their agency or its function should be identified as a personal ex­pression of the author 's views. Opinions and statements by the author in the work are then disassociated from the agency and the author's vi!'ws would not be interpreted by the public or

PATIO PROJECT NEARLY COMPLETE - The oasis Garden Club's recenl purchase of redwood furniture (four chairs and a table) has brought nearly to completion a club project aimed at the development of a landscaped patio area at the Naval Weapons Center Dispensary. Shown as they tried out the outdoor furniture are (from left) Christine Hawkenson, a nurse at the Dispensary ; Bernice Meade, project chairman ; Lt. Nancy Smith and HN John Krek, Dispensary staff personnel ; Pamela Brown, president of the Oasis Garden Club, and Marianne Kistler, another garden club member. The work was authorized in August 1970 and since that time help has been provided by SeaBee Reservists of Mobile Construction Battalion 17's Sub-unit 11-2 (based at China lake) , who leveled the ground and later installed water lines, concrete slabs and walkways for the patio. After shopping for trees and shrubs, members of the Oasis Garden Club have watered and weeded the new plants. This work was lightened recently by the installation of an automatic valve and timer on the patio sprinkler system. To complete the Dispensary patio project, Oasis Garden Club members will plant bare root roses this winter and add a layer of pea gravel in the open areas that remain. Planted and growing in the patio are a variety of trees and shrubs including Modesto ash, Carolina cherry laurel , purple leaf plum, Russian olive tree, arborvitae and juniper. In addition, more than 150 gray and green santolina plants have been put in for ground cover under the trees. -Photo by SN Lorna Cotton

Looking for a diversified. interesting sport to occupy these beautiful autumn days?

Try archery. This sport hinges on physlcol endurance rather than exertion thus allowing the participant to bask In the season 's graces . But don ', daydream too long. Archery requires the utmost in mental concentration.

Gordon Oland. secretary·treasurer of the Chino Lake Archery Club. recently returned with his wife. Lee. from Hawaii where they competed for two days with 96 other shooters - five of whom traveled from Japan to toke port in the target competition.

Dick Bullock. president of the Chino Lake Archery Club. and a California Deportment of Fish and Game certified hunter and safety instructor. says a hopeful hunter should "prac.fice several months to get into shope."

Some serious riflemen loudly ob;ect to bowmen hunting for big game. The ob;ectlon should be leveled against their lock of training . An overage. proficient archer can hit and kill a deer from as for away as 40 yards.

A full range of training Is available through the Chino Lake Archery Club. Now is the time to start. After learning outdoors this fall and practicing on the indoor target range this winter and summer. you should be ready for the early deer season next August.

Interested persons should call Dick Bullock at ext. 7560.

Bruce Bernhardi's varsity football team at Burroughs High School looks tough! I attended my first high school game last Friday in a couple of years, and saw some pretty good ball playing as the Burros downed the Bakersfield High School Drillers, ~.

Bruce, and his assistant coach, Veri Lillywhite, hope to get the team up for the game against Santa Maria tonight. "This will be a damned tough team," Bruce said. "Santa Maria only missed the CIF finals last year by one point. However, I think we'll do well against them," he added.

ThJ! game will be played at 8 o'clock, at Santa Maria High SchooL

Amos Btanche, who gained 136 yd. in 17 carries was the out­standing player of the game on offense. Btanche made one of the Burros' three tallys. The defense star of the evening was litUe Bruce Zagala, the Burros free safety.

Zagala, who tips the scales at 130 lb., was in on nearly every tackle of the evening, and it's pure delight to watch him ''read plays." He scutUes around in that backfield unW he's got the play and then he's off for the tackle.

Amos' " little" brother, Steve, who outweighs him, only carried the ball five times, but he gained 41 yd. during the game. On one play, young Steve, who is only a sophomore, broke four tackles while making long yardage. He's not only strong, he looks to be as swift as Amos. Once he learns how to read the defense and gains a IitUe maturity, he's going to add a lot to the Burros offense.

Rick Lovern quarterbacked the team the entire game. He made a couple of fumbles in the first half that might have hurt, but the defense held the big , strong Bakersfield team and Lovern played a much better second half. He completed four passes on nine attempts and also scored twice on quarterback keepers.

Bruce told me that first-game jitters caused the errors and he hopes that those types of mental relapses will be ironed out by the opening of the Golden League season on Oct. 5.

This team could go all the way to CIF. I hope the community gives them the support. Last Friday night, the stadium was packed. Let's keep it that way.

On the other hand, an exact reproduction of official material included in the copyrighted work should be identified by the author as government material so that the government, or a member of the public, would not be prevented from use or reproduction of the government material.

Literary Property Rights In conclusion, literary works

prepared by a government em­oloyee as an official duty of his employment or when directed to do SO by his official superiors, would be considered a government publication. The work as govern­ment property would not be copyrightable by the author and could be used by all members of the public.

Generally, all government agencies encourage their em­ployees to create private literary works for publication on their own time and to obtain protection of these works if they desire by copyright. When a dispute between the government and the employee, or employee and a member of the public, arises on the question of the work's ownership a determination is made on the facts of the case with the critical factor being thl: official duties of ·~ author at the time of creation of the literary work.

The tiUe to the literary property will not depend on minor con­siderations obtained by the authors in their use of government time and material, but these con­siderations may give the govern­ment the right to ·use the copyrighted material without payment to the author.

Three separate elementary school districts-the China Lake, Indian Wells Valley and Rand-­will be combined along with Burroughs High to form the new unified school district, which will begin operation on July I, 1974, with the total assets of the com­bined area it now includes.

The entire unified school district is divided into two trustees areas. In order to insure that there will be representation on the board from the Rand District, there is a separate trustee area for it. The two candidates vying for this one seat are Patricia Muster and Samuel M. Roether.
