Father of His Country Man of Spirit, Daring

There are no paintings or statues of George \'If ashington in a towering fit of rage, shaking his fist and shouting oaths as he dressed down subordinates. Nor are there likely to be. The Washington given us by generations of artists and sculptors is as serene and noble as marl;Jle-the calm, lofty­minded aristocrat.

But the fact is that the Father of Our Country was no cold fish. He had a violent temper; he was also on occasion a man of reckless daring. Indeed, in war it was his willing­ness to take risks that sparked his defeat of superior British forces. And, as historians have observed, the whole Ameri­can Revolution was a calculated risk.

His hot blood manifested itself as early as 1754 when he was a lieutenant colonel commanding militia forces sent to reinforce the forks of the Ohio against the French. It was on Washington's order that the first shots were fired to touch off the French and Indian War when his troops intercepted a French scouting party.

"I heard the bullets whistle," he wrote later, "and be­lieve me, there is something charming in the sound."

This was the man who, on Braddock's march, had two horses shot from under him and his coat pierced by four bullets. It was the man who, during the Revolution , could bawl out Charles Lee unmercifully on the field of Mon­mouth Courthouse for failing to reform his lines and dis­cipline his panicky troops. One report says that his fury erupted "till the leaves shook on the trees."

A loyal friend, he was implacable toward his enemies. For him the Tories were "wretched creatures" who prac­ticed "diabolical arts and schemes."

Neither mean nor spiteful, he could not be deterred when he believed himself in the right. When Benedic Ar­nold's treason plot blew up there was considerable grudging sympathy for its chief victim, the British Maj. John Andre. Bnt \'If ashington felt no mercy for this enemy of his cause.

Not only did he uphold Andre's death sentence, but he decreed that the handsome and gifted officer die at the end of a rope. That, in the 18th Century, was considered the lowliest form of the extreme penalty. (AFPS)

On the last la p of a world-wide tour, the choir of 22 youngsters, aged 8 to 14, had sched ... uled appearances in 70 cities in the United States and Canada. Their past exhibitions include being fea­tured in "Cinerama," the Perry Como Show, The Voice of Firestone, Omnibus, a surprise appearance in the Met ropolitan Opera's perform­ance of "Fledermaus," and record­ing extensively on several labels.

The San Francisco Chronicle commented, "It would be difficult to say which part of the program was the most charming, impressive or worthwhile. There is a purity and impersonality about the boys' voices especially suited to the sacred music of the Rennaissance.

Single admission tickets wil be available at the box office from 6 p.m. until concert time. Prices for these tickets are $5, $4.25, $3.50 and $1.75. Tickets will also be available

Swim Meet To Be Held February 27

A Swim Meet, sponsored by the I ndian Wells Valley Recreation Council, will be held Saturday, F eb. 27. Any valley resident may register for the competition.

Awards will be given in t he form of ribbons for first, second and third places. The 12 classes of swimmers to be entered in compe­tition range from 8 years and under through the Open Class, which in­cludes entrants 17 years and over. Both boys and girls will be parti­cipating. Members of the Water Safety Instructors Association will officiate.

The purpose of this meet is to encourage competitive swimming in this area and to prepare the local swimmers for the various meets that will be held this summer. Last summer the Indian Wells Valley Swim Team ended the season by winning the coveted T eam Trophy

<it the Mojave Invitational Swim Meet.

Those persons interested in par­ticipating should contact Carol Chatterton, Me e t Manager, at 724094 on the base before Wednes­day, Feb. 24. Elimination heats will he held Thursday. Feb. 25, if regis­tration is heavy in any given class.

The officers to be installed are the Nobles J ack Sampson, presi­dent; Dr. J. Lowell Hammond, first vice-president: Giles Walker, sec­ond vice-president; J. R. Sholes, secretary; and T. W. Underwood, treasurer.

The retiring president, Clarence "Pappy" Fike, was ap­pointed Club Ambassador and No­ble Al Ada ms, Master of India n W ells Valley Lodge No. 691, F and AM, was appointed T emple Aide by the Potentate.

Music for the dance will be fur­nished by the Dixieland J azz Band from Los Angeles.

Men's Fellowship To Hold Box Social Next Wednesday

An old fashioned Box Socigl, sponsored by the Men's Fellowship of the NOTS Community Church, will be the feature of the next meeting Wednesday. Feb. 24, at 6 p.m. in the East Wing of the All Faith Chapel.

Auctioneer for the occasion will be Chaplain Robert "Q" Jones. He indicates that he expects the bid­ding to be spirited but there will be a limit placed on the bidding which has not yet been determined.

Otis Pennington, president of the group, cautions the ladies to be sure they have enough for just two persons. Every m a n who attends the NOTS Community Church is automatically a member of thp. Men's F ellowship and welcome, he says. Provisions will be made fo r those who are unable to bring a la dy escort that evening.

An illustrated lecture by Fred Richards, "Death Valley and Your Camera," will be featured.

Anyone d es iring to apply for housing, or change their ex­isting application, must file their request at the Housing Office in p«son during regular working hours. The office is open Monday t hrough Friday from 730 to 11:30 a.m. and from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m.

~ , To Go T«:) 'Conva.ir : '.

Later, she'll be tran!Worted to Convair San Diego to a testing tank where NOTS personnel will carry out, under carefully contrQIled con~

ditions, hydrodynamic and related measurements.

Measurements of hydrodynamic performance will include peak ve .. locity and acceleration, rate of ve­locity decrease during glide and · hence drag coefficient, and flow patterns in the boundary layer. Tne top speeds with various size drag rings will help determine power available.

P hysiological Study Another phase of the investiga­

tion will be physiological studies, in~ cluding physical, anatomical, and metabolic measurements.

Physical measuremen"ts will in­clude such items as lengtb, circum .. ference, volume, surface area, den­sity, weight, and abnormalities. An­atomical studies, on a deceased por­poise at Marineland, will consist of dissection to determine the muscle weight ratio and a histological stu~dy' of the sldn related to its possible passive or active damping role in keeping the boundary layer laminar.

Muscle Characteristics Also under study will be the

muscle characteristics, the metab~ olism rate-to be determined from measured values of heartbeat, res­piration, and skin temperature-an,d the muscle efficiency and theoretl~ cal power per pound of mu~cle.

In addition, the acoustic signals emitted by the porpoise and acous~ tic organs capable of furnishing a sonar vision to the animal are also investigated.

Should Explain l\[ysteries According to personnel of the

Oceanic Research Divis ion, the phys ... iological and hydrodynamic studies should help explain some of the "mystery" of sea animal locomotion

, and possibly may contribute to the reduction of skin friction drag on torpedoes.

Chest X-Rays Set For All Employees

The Mobile X-ray Unit will make. its annual visit to the Foothill facility Tuesday through Thursday next week, Feb. 23, 24 and 25. Em­ployees will receive IBM cards with their time cards today. These card~ are to be filled in by the employee and taken with him when reporting for the chest x-ray.

Cards have been mailed to mili­tary personnel for completion by them and their dependents who are included in the survey. Children over ten years of age are eligible for x-ray.
