The new gate, which will be open to traffic night and day, will accommodate both vehicle and foot traffic. The present south gate on Richmond Rd. will be kept open only during the morning, noon and evening rush hours after the new gate is completed, and the high school gate which accommodates only foot traffic will be closed.
Easier access to Ridgecrest and Burroughs High School by residents who will be living in the adjoining Capehart housing area will result from the new gate installation. The project is part of the new chain link fence installation now in progress along China Lake Blvd.

Concert Renewal Ticket Sales Deadline Nears
Today is the final day of the renewal sales campaign for tickets to the NOTS Civic Concert series. Members who have not mailed their renewal cards and a check or money order will have to be dropped and their seats will be reassigned to old members who desire to change seats.
"There's a famous road paved with good intentions but the road to a concert series seat is paved with renewal car d s and money," says Earle Kirkbride, sales campaign chairman.
Seating Change Jack Bain, ticket manager, haS'
notified all members who requested a change that they may claim new seats on Wednesday, October 11, from 6 to B p.m. in the Community Center.
"I surely don't want to reassign a seat which has been held by a Concert Association member for years if he plans to renew, but we ha ve an obligation to meet on the 11th and again on the 25th and 26th of this month when we assign seats to new members," says Bain. He stresses that his only guide is the renewal card.
Old m embe rs who ha,'e not returned their r enewal cards hn,'e been mailed two letters as further evidence that "we are doing e\'erything possible to eliminate proerd.stination," says Arnold Yukelson, renewul sales chairman. Members baving any information
about recent terminations or leave status of former Association members may notify Yukelson at Ext. 75744 to help keep his list current . This could create availability of additional choice seats.
Mrs. Burma Schwager has been appointed to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors which was previously filled by Cdr. J. W. Gorman before be was transferred to Subic Ba,y.
Explorer 'Scouts Encamp at NOTS
The Station again welcomes Kern County Council Explorer Scouts during their annual encampment. The weekend activities begin to .... night as the arriving scouts regis"ter and set up camp at Schoeffel Field.

Many of these scouts are repeat guests in this capacity and each successive visit whets their inquisi .. tiyeness. evident by their keen in .. terest. This program, then, widens their perspective on the researcli strengthe ning our national defense.
The tour will take them to the Naval Air Facility for a tour at Hangar 3 and inspection of the static display. Saturday afternoon will be spen t at Propulsion Development Department fa cilities where they will witness a static motor til''' ing and propellant burning demonstration.

By l\lonsignor J ohn F. C. Rya n
The science of correct and accurate thinking is called logic. Christ called the attention of His disciples to its opportune use. "When it is evening, you say, the weather will be fair for the sky is red . .. You know then how to read the face of the sky, but cannot read the signs of the time,"
H ere was a fine distinction between the material and the mental and spiritual.
H ow well do the scientists use the power of logic in their deductions, but how woefully weak is much of our thinking nowadays in applying the principles of eternal truth,
Ceceros Axiom: "Reason should direct, the appetite obey," is turned a round so that our appetites direct and Our reason obeys, Our desires are often the father of our thougbts.
