President Stresses Nondiscrimination In Recreation Units

A memorandum from the Secre· tary of Defense was distribu ted thi':i month to all government installa­tions in the Department of De­fense emphasizing President Ken­nedy's directive on his nondiscrimi­nation policy concerning military and civilian employee recreational organizations.

Personnel are advised of the contents of the directive by the following ,excerpt from the SecNav memorandum:

"Discrimination based on race, creed, color, or national origin by employee recreational organization~ is contrary to the purpose and spirit of Executive Order 10925, March 6, 1961.

"No employee recreational organ­ization which practices discrimina­tion based on race, creed, color, or national origin will be permitted to use the name of, or be sponsored by the Department of Defense. No facility of activity of the Depart­ment of Defense will be availabl~ to such organization.

"The foregoing applies to all fa­cilities and activities of the De · partment of Defense, including those financed from nonappropriat · ed funds and to all recreational or­ganizations composed of full-time civilian and military personnel in the Department of Defense. This policy is effective immediately."

J. R, Felton Earns PhD, in Economics

J. R. (Dick) Felton, Education Director in the Employee Devel­o pment Division of P ersonnel Dc­partment, recently fulfilled all thf' requirements for his PhD in "Eco­nomics from UCLA. .

His dissertation explored the ex· perience with, the rationale and implications of, and the alterna­tives to The Horizontal Dissolu-

Dr. J . R . F elto n

t ion of Manufacturing Enterprises u nder the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Felton also received his B.A. and M.A. from UCLA where he was a teaching assistant in economics while pursuing graduate work. He t aught at San Diego State College, where he was an assistant profes­sor.

Prior to coming to NOTS in M arch, 1953, he ,vas Director, Lo3 Angeles Branch, W age Stabilization Board. During his first two and one-half years here he served as ;Head, Systems and P rocedures Di­viSion , then a function of Command Administration Department. He as­sumed his present position iii Au­gust. 1955.

T he Felton family consists of his wife, Kay, a fourth grade teacher at Vieweg School , and Jimmy and Joyce who attend Murray School.

taining the club and their willing­ness to actively participate in fur­thering youth activity within the center.

The RAFT Club was officially opened ]'1ay 2, 1958. Funds to con­vert the old Chapel to the present youth center and operating ex­penses for the past three years have been borne by the Navy Re­creation Council.

Currently, annual operating costs alone total approximately $8,000. The benefits derived by this ex­penditure are available to local young men and women between the ages of 13 and 20, however, only approximately 150 of these people participate in the organization.

Based on current costs for gen· eral r ecreation, it is Command's feeling that the cost per capita is excessive and therefore, if the rate of participation does not increase, the only alternative is disestablish­ment.

Since membership in the RAFT Club consists largely of civilian youth, it seems logical that their parents or guardians make th~

necessary effort to maintain an excellent youth program.

As Command's position on the continuation of the RAFT Club is very clear, it is the community's opportunity to make its desires known on the matter.

T he Community Council needs to know the views of Station resi-dents on the following questions in order to convey the realistic at­titude of the community to Sta­tion Command:

• Do you think there is a need fo r a youth rec reation center?

• Are you willing to support s uch a center?

• Are you satisfied with the present operation?

• If not, what improvements would you suggest?

• Would you be willing to fin ­ancially support the operations of a youth center, and also assume the responsibilities associated with its operation?

Final Duty Before relinquishing command

of the Station, Capt. Hollister gave a short address expressing appre­citation for the cooperation he re­ceived during his tenure as S tation Commander stating his confidence in the Station's future under Capt. Blenman.

He said: "Today marks the com­pletion of 30 years of active duty for me in the Navy. I want to ex­pr(:!ss my stncere appreciation to those who have made thi s last tour of duty very interesting and mem­orable for me.

As Capt. Hollister announced his readiness to be reI i eve d. Capt. Blenman stepped to the reviewing stand to mai{e his address. Capt. Blenman said in part:

"It is a great honor for me to have been selected as the next Commander of the Naval Ordnance Test Station which has made, and will continue to make, so many outstanding contributions to the E-ecurity of our country.

\Vork Toward Su ccess "The outstanding record of NOTS

in the fields of weaponry and science is no accident. It is be~

cause a brilliant and dedicated group of men and women have been provided a fertile place in which to work , live, and play; a place where their ideas and dreams can be transformed into useful substance.

''NOTS is a unique Station. It is one of the very few in the Navy where the philosophy has been that it is primarily a civilian operation which we in the military support. I assure you that this philosophy will be continued."

Exacting Guidance I n conclusion Capt. Blenman

paid tribute to Capt Ho1lister for his service to the Station and the comm unity for t he past three and one-ha lf yea rs in t he same out­standing, dedicated , and unselfish manner as he se rved t he Navy and his count ry du ring the past 30 years.

Swim Pool County Ordinance Outlined

During t he fo r thcoming ho t oS u m mer months, m any families will be setting up small swimming or wading pools in thei r backyardJ :w hich will prescn t safety hazards f or small ch ildren.

I n order to safeguard against any possible death traps, all resi­.den!:.! are required to observe the p rovisions of the Coumy Ordin· ..ance Code which a pplies to such ;pools. A summa ry of t hese pro· • visions is outlined as follows:

If the wading o r s wimming pool b as a depth of two feet or m ore, O\"""1lers are requi red to enclose t h::.­.pool v .. ;th a fence whic h will k eep ~ut sr!lalL childre n. The gate to s uch a fence should be self-closing and self-latching and should be at l east fou r teet above grade, or otherwise inacC<3'3sible from the o U13ide to s mall children.

If a fence is not provided, r esi­~ent.s must furnish supervision o r k'eep the pool under observa tion a t all times while it is filled with w ater.

A pool cove r or other protectiVi" d evice may be used if it is ap­p roved by the Director of Public ~orks of Ke rn County.

The provisions of the Ordinance p ode also a pply to po rtable or t emporary structures, irrespect ive of design, type of mater ials an~ length of time of the use of such fStructures.

P er.3ons who fail to observe ap· p licable p rovis ions of the Ordi · nance are guilty of a misdemeanor.

Care should a lso be taken by residents to preve nt the develop· ment or unsanita ry conditions in the use of such pools. W ater should h e changed frequently, so that it is not allowed to s tagnate and be­-come a breeding ground for flies tllnd mosquitos.

Feline Reigns As Queen Of the Dam Night Shift

By Carney D. Kaerner

\'(Te didn't get the full story of the conversation be­tween Bill Matheison, Test Mechanic at Morris Dam, and "Fluffy," Queen of the night shift, in the picture above.

W e did discover a few t hings "the best darned night watchman about F luffy on Armed F orces Day in this man's Navy." The last line howeve r, s uch as - occas ionally is a direct quote from a ll the boys she indicates by wor d of pu rr that in the Mor ris Da m Propulsion Lab. s he'd transfer out of t he joint if l he food weren't so good. But of course she is reluctant to leav~

a ll her budd ies to carry on alo ne . E ve n k itties have big dec isions to m a ke .

Fluffy doesn't have security clearance - not even a black badge, but then t he boys in the Propuls ion Lab all vouch fo r hel' loya lty. She neve r breathes a word of wha t they say - as a matter of fact sbe limi ts he r convers ation to a lusty "MEOW" for her daily doughnut (she likes 'em pla in ) a nd her soft purr for a ll those cannell good ie! on the shelf with h er nam (! on them. Of course, she believes in sharing - she shares her com­pa ny (or a few bites of the ir home cooked lunch too.

W e doubt that she rea lly catche~ mice - she just isn' t the type. She probably gives them a good chase for exercise now and then. How else can a girl keep her figure.

Nobcdy knows just what she does a t night - she eats and sleeps a nd purrs all day. W e pre­sume that she stays on in the do­main of noises and smells, guard­ing her e mpire after the lights go out, fo r there has been nary R.

So if for the wa nt of som ething bette r to do, you dec ide t o call Mor­ris Dam Propulsion Lab some night, a nd you get a lus ty "MEOW" - its not g remlins, it's just Fluffy
