"Script requirements called for so many II)en that we were afraid we wouldn't be able to fill all the roles," Blanc said. "Fortunately, we were able to assemble a strong and complete cast. I'm looking forward to creating this show with the help of some new talent, and some experienced people I've never worked with before, as well as with any of myoid friends from last year's 'Marne' cast," he ad- ded. Assisting Blanc with casting decisions were Russ Parker, musical director, and Sherry Parker, assistant director. Alex'Bellen will portray the leading role of John Adams. Bellen, familiar to local audiences as Teyve in "Fiddler on the Roof" and Sky Masterson in "Guys and ' Dolls," will duel in Congress with Herb Childers, who has been assigned the role of John DickilllOn. Childers, who has appeared in many local amateur productions, is best remembered perhaps for his direction of CLOTNs "Man of La Mancha." .r1lD Roso1anka, who has been involved either onstage or behind the scenes in CLOTA's last four productions, will portray the role of Benjamin Franklin, while Greg Erdmann, as Edward Rutledge, will vocali2e on the show's most difficult nwnber, "Molasses to Rum to Slaves."

Tryouts To Se Held Next Week For 'The Mikado' Tryouts for Gilbert and Sullivan's " The Mikado," will be held next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Burroughs High School multi-use room. Pat Schwarzbach, director of speech and drama at Cerro Coso College, stated that all one needs to do to be in the operetta is to sign up for Theater TI, a class held at the college each Tuesday and ThurS- day from 7 to 10 p,m. Those who wish to audition for a major role should be prepared to sing a solo number. "The Mikado" is a well-known comic operetta that revolves around the emperor's son, Nanki- Poo, who wishes to marry a delectable girl named Yum-Yum. However, the Mikado has already promised the son to another woman, whom Nanki-Poo believes to be " 3 hag." He lIees the palace and winds up in the home of Yum-Yum, who is betrothed to Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner (who, by the way, has notexecuted anyone in "months"). Here, the plot gets rather in- volved, as Nanki-Poo Is executed and then resurrected, all through guile, and winds up with his love.

Hiring Freeze Continues At Naval Material Labs A previously announced freeze on the hiring and promotion of civilian employees within the Department of the Navy was lifted yesterday-EXCEPI' at Naval Material Laboratories such as tbe Naval Weapons Center. A mtssage received Wednesday from tbe Secretary of the Navy announced tbe end of the freeze on hirings and promotions which went into effect during the second week in December, noting that, effective Feb. I, "hiring and promotions are authorized consistent with assigned employment targets and funds for Fiscal Year 1973, and the budget for Fiscal Year 1974 which reflect policy with respect to employment levels and promotions." The SecNav message also included a note of caution, as follows: "The austerity of funding levels requires continued attention to In- sure that only those personnel actions are effected which are essential to the conduct of approved programs. "Resumption of recruitment requires that priority consideration be given to career employees affected by actions eliminating or transferring their jobs," the SecNav message continued. "Temporary appointments will be used to the maximum extent feasible in order to stockpile vacancies for career employees who may be replaced," the SecNav message ended.

The two chemists invented the current model of Chemlite in 1970 after eight years of working with other types of chemically~formed lights. NWC-Oeveloped Chemlite Found To Be Valuable in Emergencies A pair of successful rescues at sea late in 1972 have focused at- tention on Chemlites (short for chemical lights), the brightly colored, non-pyrotechnic lights developed at NWC. In the first incident, a crewman was washed overboard from the U.S.S. Iwo Jima (LPH 2) and Chemlites were dropped into the water to mark the position of the man and to enable a helicopter pilot to get a "fix" on the water and effect the rescue. In the second rescue, two men were in the water after problems with their aircraft forced them to ditch. A helicopter crewmember, wearing a green EX16 Mod 1 Chemlite attached to his wet suit, was dropped into the water near the two downed airmen. This enabled the crew members to swim to him. The pilot of a 'copter then centered his aircraft over the green light and lowered a recovery sling, to which was attached an EX 17 Mod 1orange ChemJite. The two 600 Families Get Questionnaires About Housing Mailed out this week to a sam- pting 01 600 military and civilian families occupying Navy housing quarters was a copy of the annual Naval Weapons Center housing survey. Purpose of the survey Is to obtain information needed in support of future housing improvement projects at China Lake. Those receiving the family housing questionnaire are asked to complete it as soon as possible and return it by mail no later than next Friday, Feb. 9. lights served as both vertical and horizontal guides, enabling rescue team members to do their work in an expeditious manner. Another use of the small, plastic- cased luminescent substance was learned of recenUy when a pilot reported that he lost his cockpit lights while flying a let ptane at night. He broke open a green ChemJite and tanded his ship by reading the instrument panel from the illumination it provided. "There are many other uses tor the Chemlite," said Steve LitUe, Deputy for Engineering, Code 35081, in the Ship Countermeasures Program Office, headed by Earl Love. LitUe, Carl Morley and Bob Gerber are in charge of develop- ment 01 the device and are the men responsible for initiating pilot production, Fleet evaluations and current release to production ef- fort. For instance, the U.S. Depart- ment 01 Transportation was sent 200 of the orange colored Chemlites (in cruciform holders) to evaluate. Now that department Is thinking of using the ChemJites in lieu of a red pyrotechnic road flare on all traffic control vehicles, as well as on ammunition trucks and propane carriers, The CbemlIte Is a result 01 10 years 01 research on this type 01 chemistry during which time the Ught output has increased 10,000 fold. The chemical research is directed by Dr. Willlam McEwan, head of the Research Depart- ment's Chemistry Division, and Dr. Carl A. Heller, Herbert Richter, Mrs. Ruth Tedrick and Dr. Ronald A. Henry, all of the Chemistry Division. What exacUy is a ChemJite? Chemically speaking, it is the reaction of Oxalate ester plus a fluorescer, with hydrogen per- oxide, and a catalyst, which Ught up when combined. Several types of Chemlites are currenUy available, and'these vary in the color of light emitted and the iimgth of time that useful luminance is available. Almost any conceivable color or shade of light could be produced by the Chemlite technique, depending upon the lIuorescer chosen. According to (Confin..ed on PI"O 3) Appraisal Of NWC Housing Now Under Way The triennial survey 01 family and bachelor housing quarters at the Naval Weapons Center is currenUy under way, it was an- nounced this week by Cal Fallgatter, head of the Public Works Dep(lrtment's Housing Division.

Each year, a separate survey of utility costs for housing at China Lake also is made, but it is bandied by NWC personnel. , OCR Text: Page Eight Cast Chosen by Director for Next CLOTA Musical William R.

Four vacancies m the five- member board of trustees of the China Lake Elementary School District are to be fi\Jed in the electioo that will be held m April 17. Trustees whose terms 01 olflce willexpire are Richard Rusciolelli, currenUy president of the board; Mrs. Annaliese Odencrantz, clerk, and W. B. Porter. Another vacancY also was created by the recent resignation of Mrs. Lynne Powers. Americans - Dr. Martin F. Zim- mer, project officer of the meeting, who is an explosives research expert employed at the Air Force Armament Laboratory, Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., and Robert L. Jameson, an explosives physicist at the Ballistics Research Lab- oratory, Aberdeen, Md. Greene provided information on two types of ultra high~ Gordon Greene cameras with which he Is famillar-framing cameras and streak cameras--and acquainted the Italian experts with their use. The Italian government rep- resentatives were Dr. Enzo Brand- imarte, inspector general in chief of the Ministero della Difese; Lt. Col. Dr. Marcello Buseo, Dr. Lanciani, and an engineer known only as Laurienzo. The latter two men are employees of SNIA, an Italian firm that furnishes ex- plosives and research facilities to (cOntinued on Page 4) Nevel WHpotIS een""- ChiNil L.ake ~~Ie Vol. XXV III No. 5 February 2, 1973 INSIDE...

The two chemists invented the current model of Chemlite in 1970 after eight years of working with other types of chemically~formed lights. NWC-Oeveloped Chemlite Found To Be Valuable in Emergencies A pair of successful rescues at sea late in 1972 have focused at- tention on Chemlites (short for chemical lights), the brightly colored, non-pyrotechnic lights developed at NWC. In the first incident, a crewman was washed overboard from the U.S.S. Iwo Jima (LPH 2) and Chemlites were dropped into the water to mark the position of the man and to enable a helicopter pilot to get a "fix" on the water and effect the rescue. In the second rescue, two men were in the water after problems with their aircraft forced them to ditch. A helicopter crewmember, wearing a green EX16 Mod 1 Chemlite attached to his wet suit, was dropped into the water near the two downed airmen. This enabled the crew members to swim to him. The pilot of a 'copter then centered his aircraft over the green light and lowered a recovery sling, to which was attached an EX 17 Mod 1orange ChemJite. The two 600 Families Get Questionnaires About Housing Mailed out this week to a sam- pting 01 600 military and civilian families occupying Navy housing quarters was a copy of the annual Naval Weapons Center housing survey. Purpose of the survey Is to obtain information needed in support of future housing improvement projects at China Lake. Those receiving the family housing questionnaire are asked to complete it as soon as possible and return it by mail no later than next Friday, Feb. 9. lights served as both vertical and horizontal guides, enabling rescue team members to do their work in an expeditious manner. Another use of the small, plastic- cased luminescent substance was learned of recenUy when a pilot reported that he lost his cockpit lights while flying a let ptane at night. He broke open a green ChemJite and tanded his ship by reading the instrument panel from the illumination it provided. "There are many other uses tor the Chemlite," said Steve LitUe, Deputy for Engineering, Code 35081, in the Ship Countermeasures Program Office, headed by Earl Love. LitUe, Carl Morley and Bob Gerber are in charge of develop- ment 01 the device and are the men responsible for initiating pilot production, Fleet evaluations and current release to production ef- fort. For instance, the U.S. Depart- ment 01 Transportation was sent 200 of the orange colored Chemlites (in cruciform holders) to evaluate. Now that department Is thinking of using the ChemJites in lieu of a red pyrotechnic road flare on all traffic control vehicles, as well as on ammunition trucks and propane carriers, The CbemlIte Is a result 01 10 years 01 research on this type 01 chemistry during which time the Ught output has increased 10,000 fold. The chemical research is directed by Dr. Willlam McEwan, head of the Research Depart- ment's Chemistry Division, and Dr. Carl A. Heller, Herbert Richter, Mrs. Ruth Tedrick and Dr. Ronald A. Henry, all of the Chemistry Division. What exacUy is a ChemJite? Chemically speaking, it is the reaction of Oxalate ester plus a fluorescer, with hydrogen per- oxide, and a catalyst, which Ught up when combined. Several types of Chemlites are currenUy available, and'these vary in the color of light emitted and the iimgth of time that useful luminance is available. Almost any conceivable color or shade of light could be produced by the Chemlite technique, depending upon the lIuorescer chosen. According to (Confin..ed on PI"O 3) Appraisal Of NWC Housing Now Under Way The triennial survey 01 family and bachelor housing quarters at the Naval Weapons Center is currenUy under way, it was an- nounced this week by Cal Fallgatter, head of the Public Works Dep(lrtment's Housing Division. Sent here by the Western Division 01 the Naval Facilities Engineering Command in San Bruno Is a professional real estate appraiser, whose task it Is to compare housing WIlts at China Lake with those in the area. Information obtained In the survey, which Is concerned only with that portion of, the rental fee charged to cover the shelter Itself (not the cost of utilities), will be used in preparing a new rent schedule that is slated to go into effect later this year. Each year, a separate survey of utility costs for housing at China Lake also is made, but it is bandied by NWC personnel. , China Lake Museum,Rocketeer Newspaper,Rocketeer 1970s,Rocketeer 1973,Rktr2.2.1973.pdf,Rktr2.2.1973.pdf Page 1, Rktr2.2.1973.pdf Page 1
