by Jim Mohan

What impressed the judges mostwas the imagination of the youngartists who competed in the fourthannual Orientor Christmas CoverColoring Contest. It didn't matter ifthe drawing was in crayon orwatercolors or felt tip marker.Every drawing had a unique touchthat made each one special. That'swhat made selecting the "best" amost difficult challenge for thejudges from the Civilian WelfareCouncil. Added to that challengewas the number of entries.

Over 170 youngsters participatedin this year's contest. There were avariety of styles-pencils, crayons,watercolors or felt tip markers.

"My one regret about thiscontest is that everyone can't be awinner," she added. "To me, everYchild who enters the contest isalready a winner. Their minds areso fresh. They show things honestlyand forthright, as they see them. Ilove to see children give their ideasof what's pertinent to them whenthey do something like this."

Wilkinson said it's important for

their children. "I attrlbute mYirspiration for pursuing music andart to the freedom I was allowed asa child to express myself, both bymy parents and teachers," shesaid. A graphic designer andillustrator at the AerosPaceCenter, Wilkinson also plays organand sings for church groups.

The Orientor coloring contestgrew out of the longstandingpractice of devoting page one of aDecember issue to holiday artworkin the form of a greeting to em-ployees and their families. Thefirst formal contest for the childrenof employees to color the holidaycover was held in 1981, withWilkinson as the original artist andthe Civilian Welfare Council as

sponsor.Who needs a four-color press?

Employees quickly accepted thecontest, and, like the Carolers whowalk the halls, it became a uniqueholiday tradition of the AerospaceCenter, involving not only em-ployees but in this case theirchildren as well.

TWENTY YEARS AGO. . . TheRanger VII lunar charts producedby ACIC were officially turnedover to the National Aeronauticsand Space Administration at NASAHeadquarters in Washington, D.C.,Dec. 22. The new charts wereprepared from the moonphotographs televised to earthfrom Ranger VII on July 31, 1964,which have been called thegreatest single advance in lunarknowledge since the invention ofthe telescope. The charts providenew information on a 100 by 200-mile area in the northwesternsection of the Sea of Clouds, whereRanger smashed into the moon.Lunar specialists at ACICexamined the photographs andcompared them with existingcharts, locating each Ranger photoexactly on the lunar surface. ACICvisual observers at LowellObservatory, Flagstaff, Ariz.,

experienced in interpreting lunarimages, assisted. From theseinterpretations by ACIC observers,relief drawings were prepared.This set of charts gives what isundoubtedly the best represen-tation of the lunar surface everseen by man, according to WilliamCannell, chief ACIC lunar observerat Lowell. ,""::,::,.t"n.

"There's a lotofreasonsto be unhappy, but you waste your time on that. How many reasonshave you got to be happy?" After stints at Soldan High School, theJob Corps, and washing dishes for the St. Louis Club, Morganjoined the Marines, he said, "because I wanted to experiencechange in my life." Assignments took him from coast to coast, andhe discovered that the Marines "will make or break you," he ad-ded. As a veteran, he was eligible to apply for guard duty at theAerospace Center. "I love being a guard," he said, "because I'mseeing people all day, and I like meeting people; I like everybody."Active in the fall and summer softball leagues, Morgan playedcenterfield for the Foto Flashers and the C-Team. But he likesdancing best and can be seen at numerous clubs in the area,provided the atmosphere is "comfortable."

Navstar Receiver Wins AcceptanceThe Air Force is jointly testing navigation

equipment that could make it much easier to finddowned aircrew members.

Officials of Headquarters Space Division, LosAngeles AFS, Calif., said the Air Force is workingwith DoD agencies and the other military servicesto test Navstar receivers that determine the user'slocation from orbiting satellite transmissions. Acompany to produce pilot Navstar equipment willbe selected following completion of the tests, and aprime contractor should be named later in 1985.

In addition to location, the Navstar GlobalPositioning System gives true airspeed and timemore accurately than any system currently in use.

The Navstar system is being tested on plat-forms as small as a l5-pound pack that can be

strapped to a person's back. It has already beentested aboard the F-16 fighter to align the inertialnavigation system.

Test results have been impressive, said Col.John R. Porter, director of the Navstar jointprogram office at Los Angeles AFS. "People whoactually go to sea in ships and fly for a living saythis is something they can use."

Navstar data comes f rom f our orbitingsatellites some 10,900 miles above the earth. Thesignals can determine a person's position within 15

meters, which is about 50 feet.

According to officials, nine satellites are part ofthe test phase. By 19BB plans call for a network of 18

satellites providing worldwide coverage. (Air ForceNews Service)
