ENCAMPMENT HIGHLIGHT - The famed
twenty mule team, which between 1882 and
1889 pulled borax across the desert from
Death Valley to the nearest railhead 165
miles away at Mojave, was assembled for
the first time' in 12 years at this year's 13th
annual '4ger Death Valley Encampment last
weekend. SJme 40 riders, including Capt
Charles Blenman J r_, ComNOTS, covered by
horseback the ISO-mile in an 8-day ride over
the old borax trail as part of the '4ger En-
campment. They accompanied the team to
the old Harmony Borax works for the dedi-
cation of a monument to the pioneer borax
works. Present was Walter Scott Jr., son of
the legendary Death Valley Scotty_
mining the students' progress
throughout the year.
Further physical fitness com-
parison with other school stu-
dents is possible due to a set of
national standards g i v e n the
test.
When striving toward physical
fitness it should be remembered
that physical fitness is the foun-
dation of total fitness and is
basic to other forms of excel-
lence.
Physical fitness itself is a
broad quality involving medical
and dental supervision and care,
immunization and other protec-
tion against disease, proper nu-
trition, adequate rest, relaxation
and other aspects of healthful
living. Strength, stamina, endur-
ance and other desirable physi-
cal qualities are best developed
through vigorous exercise activo
ity, which is an essential ele-
ment to achieving physical fit-
ness.
Efforts to improve physical
fitness should be carried on with
full regard for all fitness qual-
ities: spiritual, mental, emotion·
al and social.
Physical fitness is achieved
through a sensible balance of
all these conditions adapted to
age, maturity and capability of

UF Campaign's
Closing Weeks
"The 1962 United Fund campaign will achieve its goal in
a highly successful manner."
This was the conviction of Captain Jack W. Hough, China
Lake Chairman, expressed late Wednesday as The Rocketeer ap-
proached press time and final tallies were being made on de-
partmental contributions.
Most impressive in this year's
campaign, according to the Na-
val Air FaCility skipper, has been
the <
'enthusiastic energies de-
voted to the fund campaign by
military personnel." He pointed
to contributions totaling more
than $2300 from officers and
men at NAF, explaining that this
amount represents ten times the
donations of that unit last year.
Reviewing the month - long
campaign, he noted with pride
that Air Development Squadron
Five had attained its 100 per
cent mark early in the drive.
Captain Hough said individual
donations have been supple-
mented through collective effort
in a number of fund-raising proj-
ects.
A breakdown on individual de-
partmental don a t ion s, made
Thursday morning, revealed that
the overall drive was approxi-
mately 50 per cent complete.
Though it officially ends Nov.
16, the fund chairman said book-
keeping records would be held
open through next week for late

UF Campaign's
Closing Weeks
"The 1962 United Fund campaign will achieve its goal in
a highly successful manner."
This was the conviction of Captain Jack W. Hough, China
Lake Chairman, expressed late Wednesday as The Rocketeer ap-
proached press time and final tallies were being made on de-
partmental contributions.
Most impressive in this year's
campaign, according to the Na-
val Air FaCility skipper, has been
the <
'enthusiastic energies de-
voted to the fund campaign by
military personnel." He pointed
to contributions totaling more
than $2300 from officers and
men at NAF, explaining that this
amount represents ten times the
donations of that unit last year.
Reviewing the month - long
campaign, he noted with pride
that Air Development Squadron
Five had attained its 100 per
cent mark early in the drive.
Captain Hough said individual
donations have been supple-
mented through collective effort
in a number of fund-raising proj-
ects.
A breakdown on individual de-
partmental don a t ion s, made
Thursday morning, revealed that
the overall drive was approxi-
mately 50 per cent complete.
Though it officially ends Nov.
16, the fund chairman said book-
keeping records would be held
open through next week for late
