The event will be held in the Mu­nicipal Auditorium in Long Beach on Friday evening, October 13, at 7 o'clock. The program will con­sist of danCing to the music of Fre9,­die Gray and his orchestra, and the awarding of grand prizes and dOQl,: prizes.

This yea r, holde rs of winning tickets for grand prizes will be eligible whether they are present or

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.

Special Services Office Relocated in Merger

The merger of two divisions, coupled with a physical reloca tion, has been announced by Cdr. C. \Y!. Heck, Head of the Command Administration Department. The Special Services Division, formerly located on the top deck of the Housing Building, is now sharing quarters and a single bill­ing with the NOTS Enlisted Personnel Division; their new designation to be officially the "First Division," and their headquarters in Barracks No.1, adjacent to the Fire Station on King Avenue and Lauritsen Rd.

LCdr. R. L. Barrington has been assigned to a dual officer role­that of Special Services Officer, and Commanding Officer of Enlisted Personnel. Also wearing two hats is Lt. Carl L. Vancil who serves as Assistant Special Services Officer, and Executive 0 f f ice 1', Enlisted Personnel.

are directly affiliated with those operations.

There will be no change in tele ... phone extensions.

All business encompassing the Enlisted Men's Club, sports organ ... ization, bowling and golf pUblicity. swimming pool operations, gear is .. sue, and theatre scheduling will be conducted from the offices at Bar ... racks No.1.

Ann Seiu. Community Center Manager, is 8tiB organizationally attached to Special Services, but will continue to coordinate activi .. ties from her 'present office at the Center.

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.

Tomorrow's schedule calls for an early reveille signalling 7 a.m. breakfast at t!1e enlisted men's mess hall, A welcoming address by Capt. Calland, NOTS Experimental Officer, sets the pace for a fast­moving tour of various Station facilities.

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.

Dancing to the music of the Com~ CruDes Pac Band at the Community Center will wind up the day's acti­vities. The boys will break camp following church services Sunday morning and will immediately de .. part for home.

Chaplain's Corner

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.
