Page Eight Public Works Advises How To Use Coolers Many Center residents have, no doubt, noticed tbat on some days the evaporative coolers in their homes get the house much coole r than on other days. On some days, they don't seem to work well at all. In order to get more infor- mation on how these "swamp coolers" work, and how to get tbe m 0 s t eIIective use from them, Ens. S. M. Ogintz was contacted-he is Project Offi- cer in the Public Works De- partment. Ens. Ogintz explained tbat the effectiveness of the cooling action of the coolers is deter- mined by the volume of air moved tbrough tbe house and tbe relative humidity of the outside air. The more air cir- culated through the house and the lower the relative humid- ity, the better the cooling. The principle of operation is based on the fact that as hot air passes over w ate r, heat from the air will be transfer- red to the water and cause evaporation, causing the air to become cooler. When the hum- idity is high, less water can be accepted by the air and tbe cooling effect is diminished. As an example, Mr. Ogintz cited data obtained from the Public Works Air Conditioning Shop for two consecutive days. On the first day, at 3:00 p.m., the wet-bulb temperature (an indication of the humidity-the h i g her the temperature the higher the humidity) was 68 degrees F. and the dry-bulb temperature (the one which is given in weather reports) was 104 degrees F. Based on ideal operating conditions, the cool· er in a house would cool the air to no lower than 73 degrees F. The next day, at the same time, the wet·bulb temperature was 74 degrees F. and the dry- bulb temperature was 106 de- grees F. Based on these con- ditions the house would get no cooler than 79 degrees F. As a rule of thumb, with an a v era g e difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temper- atures of 30 degrees F., the cooler will only maintain the inside temperature 25 degrees F. below the outside tempera, ture. Provide Exits For most efficient cooling of a house, sufficient exits must be provided for the air being blown in by tlie cooler. As a rule, one square foot of open window or door is needed for every 200 cubic feet per min- ute (CFM) being blown in. Most residential coolers on Center blow between 3000 and 5000 CFM and, therefore, require 15 to 25 square feet of exit space. By opening windows in rooms you are using and closing them in the ones you aren't, you will improve the cooling effect. Ens. Ogintz stated that Cen- ter residents can help the Pub- lic Works service shop provide efficient service by taking into account tbe following factors before calling in an air-condi- tioner as not working. 1) If air is being blown through the duct work, with sufficient windows opened; and 2) the house is being maintain- ed about 25 degrees F. below the outside temperature, then the cooler is probably working at its maximum effectiveness and a service call will not im- prove its operation. On the other hand, if no air is blowing and the temperature shows a continuous rise, then the cooler is probably not work- ing. By considering these factors, res ide n t s can help Public Works to provide speedier ser- vice to tho s e tenants whose coolers actually are not work- ing. 76'ers Clinch Championship (Continued from P.ge 6) pounding VX-5, 144, with a 10- hit attack in a game halted by the 10-run rule after Taylor's home run in the-sixth.

Krause Final Touches Being Applied To 'Music' Beginning Monday, the cast and crew of "Sound of Music" will move to the Murray School Auditorium to put the finish- ing touches on rehearsal of the play which will open Friday, August 21, and will play three more nights - August 22, 28 and 29. According to Ph e Ips Ter- Heun, who is directing the play for the Com m u nit y Light Opera and Theatre Association, the technical crew, under the le.dership of Chuck Wilcox, is working at a feverish pace to construct the lavish and de- t.iled sets for the production. Wilcox .nd Mark Go,., who is the assistant director, issued a c.ll for volunteers who would like the experience of working "behind the scenesll during the production. Persons interested .re asked to call Jim Mott, 375- 9531, or NWC Ext. 3589. The Oscar Hammerstein-Rich- ard Rodgers musical is based on the book "The Trapp Fam- ily Singers," written by Maria von Trapp, the young govern- ess who married Captain Georg von Trapp, the proud Austrian whose seven children were the nucleus for the famous Trapp Family Singers. Maria von Trapp is portrayed by Lana Lee Kline and the Captain by John Feeley, in the local production. other prin- cipal members of the cast in- clude Lana Widener as Elsa From TO Schrader, and Jack Lindsey as Uncle Max. The Von Trapp children are portrayed by Nancy Hawthorne, Bart Moore, Michelle Barglowski, Mark Bar· glowski, Elizabeth Knemeyer, Teresa Jessburger and Joane Fragman. The story takes place in Aus- tria, 1938, just before the An- schluss. The von Trapp family hires a new governess (Maria) and their lives are never to be the same. She is a simple girl, religious and full of the love of life. Through her, the chil- dren learn to sing and behave like normal children, instead of the marching 1itt I e soldiers they had become under the rule of a grief-stricken father. "Sound of Music" was made into a movie following a very successful run on Broadway and contains some of the most delightful music the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein has ever written. "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favorite Things" are well known to children all over the world. Other songs which have become s tan dar d s include "Climb Every Mountain," sung by Lauretta Stogsdill, who por- trays the Mother Abbess; "Edel- weiss," "Sound of Music," and many others. Tickets will be on sale begin- ning next week at the Center Pharmacy, the Gift Mar t in Ridgecrest, or from members of the cast. PLACI! STAMP HI!RI! Revised eFWS Plan Received Significant Changes Introduced Regarding IEnvironmental' Areas An advance copy of the Civil Service Commission's new ad- ditional pay plan covering all employees in the Coordinated Federal Wage System has been received at China Lake. This plan is contained in Sub- . chapter S8-7, of Federal Per- sonnel Manual Supplement 532· 1; and is titled "Environmental Differentials Paid for Exposure to Various Degrees of Hazard, Physical Hardships and Work- ing Conditions of an Unusual Nature." The Commission is expecting to distribute official copies of this plan in August 1970. Navy Trades and Labor (un- graded) employees will recog- nize many features and provis- ions of the new plan as being similar to the N.vy additional pay plan. However, the new plan introduces some signifi- cant changes in the Navy De- partment's administration of additional pay. Among such changes is the rem 0 val of "built·in" additional pay, typi- cal of ordnanceman ratings in Navy. Those Navy jobs that have built·in differential will require re-evaluation. Pay s a v i n g s, however, is provided for an em- ployee whose pay-level is re- duced in order to remove a built·in differential. If the em- ployee's new scheduled rat e plus the appropriate added dif- ferential does not equal or ex- ceed the amount he received prior to the downgrade, then pay savings will protect the previously earned amount. The new p I a n establishes percentage amounts for differ· ent environmental situations. Employee pay is computed by applying the percentage differ· ential to the second step of WG·10 as shown on the area schedule of wages. The result- ing amount is then added to hourly pay, regardless of the pay level of the job involved. Under the new plan, activi· ties must identify their work situations which match addi- tional pay conditions described in the new plan. Other work situations, not covered in the new plan, must be described and sent to the Civil Service Commission for determination. The new pl.n will become effective in all agencies on the first p.y period beginning on or after November 1, 1970. In next week's edition, the ROCKETEER will publish the s c h e d u I e of conditions for which the Civil Service Com- mission has authorized addi- tional pay. . The recently published Cen· ter Instruction, NAVWPNSCEN Inst. 12550.1 of June 2, 1970, covering additional pay for both- graded and Trades and Labor e m p loy e e s, will be amended to include the new Civil Service Commission plan.

Basic.lly, the device is • threat w.ming system designed to .lert pilots to the presence of rad.r tr.cking st.tions. The device has .l....dy been credited with s.ving pilots from impending peril on three different occasions. New Bell Helicopter Permits High Rescues The arrival of a new Bell HH-1K helicopter at the Naval Weapons Center has provided NWC with are s cue vehicle which is capable of perform· ing rescue missions at altitudes in excess of two miles. This capability was demonstrated ra- ther dramatically r e c e n t 1Y when Major Benny D. Rinehart, USMC, who is presently at- tached to Air Test and Evalu- ation Squadron·Five, used the helicopter to rescue a heart at- tack victim in the high Sierra Mountains. On Sunday, July 26, Major Rinehart, a highly decorated veteran of hundreds of heli- copter combat missions in Viet- nam, was called upon to take ' the Bell HH-1K helicopter to the 11,400 foot level northwest of Bishop. The mountain rescue c9-ordi- nation center at Hamilton AFB contacted the Naval Air Facil- ity at NWC, who in turn asked Major Rinehart to fly the mis- sion. Early on the morning of July 26, Major Rinehart and Airman D. J. McWilliams, of NAF, loaded a 55·gallon drum with jet fuel, equipped with a hand pump, on board the 'cop· ter, and took off for the rescue site. The fuel and pump were considered necessary as the 'copter would have to refuel at Bishop in order to complete the round trip. Although Major Ri n e h art lacked high altitude perform- ance data on his specific heli- copter model, he did have data on similar type helicopters plus his many thousands of hours of flight experience to draw from. After picking up an Inyo Coun- ty Deputy Sheriff to point out the injured man's location, Ma- jor Rinehart flew to the site and deposited a litter, returned the Deputy to the valley floor and then proceeded back to the victim and loa d e d him aboard, strapped to the litter. The rescued man was taken to a school yard in Bishop, where he was met by a wait- ing ambulance. NWC is often called upon to perform rescue missions such as this one, and with the ad- vent of the Bell HH-1K heli- copter, pilots and crew mem- be r s who volunteer for the search and rescue missions will find the job easier to perform, with a higher percentage of success. Council Seeks Election Candidates The Community Council, tbe only elective board at China Lake, seeks candidates. Elec- tions are held every two years at the regular November elec- tions. All members of China Lake, age 18 and older, are eligible to run for office and to vote. As the only elective board at China Lake, the Council's primary function is to repre- sent the residents to the Com- mand. At the same time the several members hold seats on various community boards and commissions and eng age in other aetivties designed to im- prove the quality of life aboard the Center. All persons interested in con- tributing to tbe welfare of their community are strongly urged to run for office. Those who wish to place tbeir names up for election, or who seek more information, may call Wardna Abernathy at extension 2231 or at 446-2272 after work hours, or George Ness at extension 2488 or at 446-4498.

Maria von Trapp is portrayed by Lana Lee Kline and the Captain by John Feeley, in the local production. other prin- cipal members of the cast in- clude Lana Widener as Elsa From TO Schrader, and Jack Lindsey as Uncle Max. The Von Trapp children are portrayed by Nancy Hawthorne, Bart Moore, Michelle Barglowski, Mark Bar· glowski, Elizabeth Knemeyer, Teresa Jessburger and Joane Fragman. The story takes place in Aus- tria, 1938, just before the An- schluss. The von Trapp family hires a new governess (Maria) and their lives are never to be the same. She is a simple girl, religious and full of the love of life. Through her, the chil- dren learn to sing and behave like normal children, instead of the marching 1itt I e soldiers they had become under the rule of a grief-stricken father. "Sound of Music" was made into a movie following a very successful run on Broadway and contains some of the most delightful music the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein has ever written. "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favorite Things" are well known to children all over the world. Other songs which have become s tan dar d s include "Climb Every Mountain," sung by Lauretta Stogsdill, who por- trays the Mother Abbess; "Edel- weiss," "Sound of Music," and many others. Tickets will be on sale begin- ning next week at the Center Pharmacy, the Gift Mar t in Ridgecrest, or from members of the cast. PLACI! STAMP HI!RI! Revised eFWS Plan Received Significant Changes Introduced Regarding IEnvironmental' Areas An advance copy of the Civil Service Commission's new ad- ditional pay plan covering all employees in the Coordinated Federal Wage System has been received at China Lake. This plan is contained in Sub- . chapter S8-7, of Federal Per- sonnel Manual Supplement 532· 1; and is titled "Environmental Differentials Paid for Exposure to Various Degrees of Hazard, Physical Hardships and Work- ing Conditions of an Unusual Nature." The Commission is expecting to distribute official copies of this plan in August 1970. Navy Trades and Labor (un- graded) employees will recog- nize many features and provis- ions of the new plan as being similar to the N.vy additional pay plan. However, the new plan introduces some signifi- cant changes in the Navy De- partment's administration of additional pay. Among such changes is the rem 0 val of "built·in" additional pay, typi- cal of ordnanceman ratings in Navy. Those Navy jobs that have built·in differential will require re-evaluation. Pay s a v i n g s, however, is provided for an em- ployee whose pay-level is re- duced in order to remove a built·in differential. If the em- ployee's new scheduled rat e plus the appropriate added dif- ferential does not equal or ex- ceed the amount he received prior to the downgrade, then pay savings will protect the previously earned amount. The new p I a n establishes percentage amounts for differ· ent environmental situations. Employee pay is computed by applying the percentage differ· ential to the second step of WG·10 as shown on the area schedule of wages. The result- ing amount is then added to hourly pay, regardless of the pay level of the job involved. Under the new plan, activi· ties must identify their work situations which match addi- tional pay conditions described in the new plan. Other work situations, not covered in the new plan, must be described and sent to the Civil Service Commission for determination. The new pl.n will become effective in all agencies on the first p.y period beginning on or after November 1, 1970. In next week's edition, the ROCKETEER will publish the s c h e d u I e of conditions for which the Civil Service Com- mission has authorized addi- tional pay. . The recently published Cen· ter Instruction, NAVWPNSCEN Inst. 12550.1 of June 2, 1970, covering additional pay for both- graded and Trades and Labor e m p loy e e s, will be amended to include the new Civil Service Commission plan.

Basic.lly, the device is • threat w.ming system designed to .lert pilots to the presence of rad.r tr.cking st.tions. The device has .l....dy been credited with s.ving pilots from impending peril on three different occasions. New Bell Helicopter Permits High Rescues The arrival of a new Bell HH-1K helicopter at the Naval Weapons Center has provided NWC with are s cue vehicle which is capable of perform· ing rescue missions at altitudes in excess of two miles. This capability was demonstrated ra- ther dramatically r e c e n t 1Y when Major Benny D. Rinehart, USMC, who is presently at- tached to Air Test and Evalu- ation Squadron·Five, used the helicopter to rescue a heart at- tack victim in the high Sierra Mountains. On Sunday, July 26, Major Rinehart, a highly decorated veteran of hundreds of heli- copter combat missions in Viet- nam, was called upon to take ' the Bell HH-1K helicopter to the 11,400 foot level northwest of Bishop. The mountain rescue c9-ordi- nation center at Hamilton AFB contacted the Naval Air Facil- ity at NWC, who in turn asked Major Rinehart to fly the mis- sion. Early on the morning of July 26, Major Rinehart and Airman D. J. McWilliams, of NAF, loaded a 55·gallon drum with jet fuel, equipped with a hand pump, on board the 'cop· ter, and took off for the rescue site. The fuel and pump were considered necessary as the 'copter would have to refuel at Bishop in order to complete the round trip. Although Major Ri n e h art lacked high altitude perform- ance data on his specific heli- copter model, he did have data on similar type helicopters plus his many thousands of hours of flight experience to draw from. After picking up an Inyo Coun- ty Deputy Sheriff to point out the injured man's location, Ma- jor Rinehart flew to the site and deposited a litter, returned the Deputy to the valley floor and then proceeded back to the victim and loa d e d him aboard, strapped to the litter. The rescued man was taken to a school yard in Bishop, where he was met by a wait- ing ambulance. NWC is often called upon to perform rescue missions such as this one, and with the ad- vent of the Bell HH-1K heli- copter, pilots and crew mem- be r s who volunteer for the search and rescue missions will find the job easier to perform, with a higher percentage of success. Council Seeks Election Candidates The Community Council, tbe only elective board at China Lake, seeks candidates. Elec- tions are held every two years at the regular November elec- tions.
