ROCKS TO RICHES by
MARGERY SANBORN. Chairman
There now p Christmas is over. Didn't it go fast? And I suspect "Rocks to Riches" will be here and gone just as quickly. I'm going to get my case ready this month, January, and that includes sending my application form to Jean Pfefer and my ~ request to Bill Huberich. Flyers are supplied by Vern Korstad to publicize our show and we need every member to distribute them around our community and -to'friends.
We'll be passing around sign-up sheets at the January and February meetings. Hopefully each member will want to sign at least one of the lists. Arnold Barron will be asking for helpers, in two hour shifts, in the food department~(the "many hands make li~~.:.:X t w woorrkK"" department) • ~ Lois Rockelman 1... .... / '5 '/:
o ~> c
will need help (,J E for the set-up IVff'T\. night dinner for / Iv
workers (defined f 12[ p as those who signed up on the above mentioned lists). (continued)
----------_. ---.. --------
There are other ways to earn a meal ticket too. 'Some examples are electrical work, hauling, skirting, or even helping with the Country Store. Anything described as part of Rocks to Riches could use your help. Just step up and say "I can do that"!

by Russ Sanborn, Instructor
After a long hiatus because of Rockhound Rendezvous activities, the beginnings of a carving class has been reestablished at the Society Shop. The class is being held twice monthly, on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. Da-tes for the remainder of the year are: Jan 10 I and 24, Feb. 14 and 28, Maro 14 I,
and 28, Apr. 11 and 25, May 9 and 23, and June 13 and 27e Carvers I have been ~ruce Burke on alabaster, Lois Rockelman and Alice McCarthy on soapstone, and Ednah Antunovich on both soapstone and alabaster.
Free materials available to class members are slate for base relief carving by beginners, and some Oklahoma alabaster (gypsum) for small carvings in the round. There are a few hand tools for beginners to practice with before they obtain their own 0 The shop also has two Foredom handpieces that take up to 3/16" shafts, for those who have their own carving points. Hand tools are adequate for soapstone and alabaster, which have hardnesses of 1 and 2, re~
spectivly, but with the parder materials, starting with calcite, onyx, and marble, powered tools are recommended for reasonable progress on small carvings. Hand tools would become dull and wear out quite rapidlyo For those who want to attack a large peice of marble or the likes we do have some sculptors chishels and hammers
Many would be surprised of,
l:heir ability to produce interesting carvings. The softer stones such as soapstone and alabaster do not permit great detail, but carvings that only have the simplified lines derived from a photograph or drawing do produce ~ very satisfying response in the viewer.
If anyone is intrigued by these ramblings of the carving instructor to the point of wanting to try it himself, come to the CARVING CLASS at the shop on one of the 2nd or 4th Wednesdays of the Month.

Saturday, December 2, 1978, the Santa Clara Juniors came to the Castro Valley Shop as guests of the Gem and Mineral Society of Castro Valley Juniors.
After the introduction of:
Joan and Evelyn Scott Bruce Morley Ron Nelson Mark and Keven Mullaney Matt and Danny Ernst
and their very capable energetic, advisor - Cleo Adams - they were
shown through the shop and looked over our equipment and facilities.
Dora had a few Castro Valley Juniors paired off with some of the Santa Clara Juniors to teach them how to cut cabs.
The teaching Juniors were: Ken Boynton, Kurt Marquart, Karissa Hendershot and Anna Oulton, all capable instructors. (Did they get an "A" for their teaching?)
The Santa Clara Juniors were those very helpful little (and bigger) elves who collected aluminum cans at our National Show in July.
They are a most ambitious, energetic group and donated the results of their collections in the amount of $24.~1 to the California Federation funds. Many, many thanks from all California Federation Members to the Santa Clara Juniors for their good work and contributions to our hobby.

JUNIOR FUN FIELD TRIP
A GREAT SUCCESS!!1!1
A pre-Christmas trip to the San Francisco Morrison Planetarium in Golden Gate Park to see the "Lasarium Show" and a visit to Farrell's in Southland afterward were both beautiful and lots of fun.
The "Lasarium" consists of a lasar beam or light show which is operated from a key board much as an organ and plays patterns of light with music in the background.
The show was delightful to both eye and ear.
The Juniors who enjoyed the trip were Ken, Andyp Karissa, Anna, Elena, Sandra, and Cathy. Dora Collins, Fred Friedman and Jim Boynton were the adults who attended.

At the National Show in July Anna won the Hayes Trophy which is awarded to the Junior whose work indicates the most hours spent on it. Anna's Carving Case which has been exhibited at several shows won her this honor. She has received many favorable comments and congratulations on this caseo
Anna 9 s ambitions after the completion of high school are three or four years of college with a desire to do interior and/ or exterior decorating. Now? Anna says, "I manage to be able to decorate everything around except my own room",

FOUND I~~ DESERT
MAKES HOUSE~SIZE CRATER

It's a good thing that Jerry Needy paid attention during his BLM Ranger training classes on explosives. Good for him---and perhaps others--because explosives can be deadlier than rattlers out in the desert.
Recently Barstow Ranger Needy was patrolling a site about 45 miles southeast of Daggett and a couple of miles west of the boundary of the sprawling Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base. He spotted a metal, four-bladed object he thought might be a helicopter rotor. Closer investigation revealed a bomb.
The Marine Explosive Ordnance' Disposal squad at Twentynine Palms was notified and responded at once. Two Marine Sergeants immediately identified the object as a 500-pound, Mark 82 high explosive bomb of recent vintage. It was buried about five feet in the ground.
The bomb was live. Furthermore, nicks on the surface showed it had been used as a target for small-arms fire. Luckily the shooter had missed the fuse.
While Needy and his assistant, Pete Kingsley, kept the area clear, the Marines dug up the bomb and dragged it onto military land for detonation. The bomb blasted an excavation big enough for a small house and basement.
The Marines thought the bomb was dropped by a military jet that was
off-target. A second bomb had exploded on impact nearby. They said the discovery and disposal of the live bomb may have averted a tragic incident.
The Marine EOD team, responsible for a 200-square-mile area out of Twentynine Palms, answere about seven off-base calls a year. About 90 percent involve World War II ordnance. The recent incident was their first calIon a live bomb this year.

CRUMBLE The hussle and bussle of the
holidays are over and now with January here it's a time for rest. But WAIT, there are only two months to get ready before the show; JANUARY and FEBRUARY. And from experience of many years getting ready for competition these two months are the fastest moving things in the West. Pressures mouJit, ,as the -deadline' gets closer and sometimes people become blind to other peoples needs. This calls for an added dose of friendliness and cooperation with others.
Our last show was a lot of hard work, yet with pride the club did a spectacular job. Now 'Rocks to Riches' is a smaller show but it will be unique, because everyone will have a chance to learn ~nstead of just observing our show.
Good-Luck to All Cathy Pasquini your editor
