ADR3 Prosser is the flight attendant of the NAF C·131 transport aircraft used to ferry the clothing to the Marine Corps base. -Photo by Ron Allen The question of tigbtening the Naval Weapons Center's anima\ control regula- tions was discussed at length during Tuesday nigbt's meeting of the China Lake Community Council's board of directors. As the result of two young children being mtten by a dog that had been permitted to run loose, there was some strong sentiment expressed by residents wbo attended the meeting and were in favor of a leasb law. For their part, bowever, a majority of the members of the Council's board of directors didn't feel that tigbtening the NWC anima\ control regulations would solve the problem, and voted down a motion which called for the establishment of a leash law on the Center. The existence of a leash law in the City of Ridgecrest, it was pointed out, hasn't reduced the anima\ control problem there. Favored instead is a program of public education stressing the pet owner's responsibility, and the rigbts of everyone not to be hothered by a dog owned by a neigbbor. At the present time, China Lakers are expected to keep their dogs under control, and not permit them to run loose outside their own yard. Complaints about those who chronically ignore this requirement can be Rec Council favors handball court construction The recommended construction of ad- ditional handball courts at the gymnasium and consideration of a proposed charter governing the fonnation of an athletic association higbligbted the May 8 meeting of the Joint Navy.civi\ian Recreation Council. After hearing a report from Joe McIntire, a management analysist from the Center's Office of Finance and Management, Recreation Council members voted unanimously to urge that action be initiated immediately that will result in construction of the handball courts. Also, on the basis of the infonnation presently available to the !recreation Council, a motion was approved calling for $30,000 to be set aside from various non- appropriated fund accounts. Prior to this action, Recreation Council members listened to a presentation by McIntire, wbo covered cost estimates for both a prefabricated type of modular handball courts and cinder block- constructed handball courts. The costs cited included the expense of building two handball courts with an ob- servation area between and a storage area underneath the observation deck. McIntire suggested that an engineering estimate be made to confirm his estimate of the cost, which was based partially on the use of the Navy Self-Help program labor. Information obtained in preparing his report, Mclntire noted, had heen gathered from the Center's Safety and Public Works Departments, and the athletic director, as well as from users of the present handball court. Recreation members discussed the matter and decided that a cinder block- constructed court would be both a better facility and less expensive than a prefabricated one. Considering the feasibility of including an observation area, it was noted that such an area could be included at this point at very little ad- ditional cost and would be useful for teaching both handball and racketball, in addition to providing a place for spectators (Continued on Page 5) Iwe personnel to render assistance in Ridgecrest Hospital disaster drill A realistic disaster drill that is expected to involve as many as 300 persons will take place nen Thursday, May 22, between 1and 4 p.rn. in Ridgecrest. According to Carol A. Zaharias, a nurse at the Ridgecrest Community Hospital, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals requires that the local medical facility have written plans for the proper and timely care of casualties in the event of a disaster. It also is required that such plans be rehearsed periodically. This will be the first such disaster drill to be beld by the Ridgecrest Community Hospital. The public is being informed in advance of this event in order to avoid the worry and concern that would be natural if this was the real thing instead of a drill. Simulated will be a station wagon vs. bus accident at the intersection of S. China Lake Blvd. and Upjohn Rd. in Ridgecrest. More than 40 persons will be "injured" in the .mishap, consequently the drill will involve the participation of all available emergency personnel and equipment in the City of Ridgecrest. Ambulances, police and firemen in Ridgecrest will be rushed to the scene to transport the "accident victims," while (Continued on Page 4) made by calling Natalie Harrison, the community liaison assistant, by calling NWC en. 3481.

Jim Fath and Jud Smith, two represen- tatives of a non-profit group known as the Higb Desert Recycling Council, attended Tuesday night's meeting to seek CLCC support for a gJass recycling center.

As the result of two young children being mtten by a dog that had been permitted to run loose, there was some strong sentiment expressed by residents wbo attended the meeting and were in favor of a leasb law. For their part, bowever, a majority of the members of the Council's board of directors didn't feel that tigbtening the NWC anima\ control regulations would solve the problem, and voted down a motion which called for the establishment of a leash law on the Center. The existence of a leash law in the City of Ridgecrest, it was pointed out, hasn't reduced the anima\ control problem there. Favored instead is a program of public education stressing the pet owner's responsibility, and the rigbts of everyone not to be hothered by a dog owned by a neigbbor. At the present time, China Lakers are expected to keep their dogs under control, and not permit them to run loose outside their own yard. Complaints about those who chronically ignore this requirement can be Rec Council favors handball court construction The recommended construction of ad- ditional handball courts at the gymnasium and consideration of a proposed charter governing the fonnation of an athletic association higbligbted the May 8 meeting of the Joint Navy.civi\ian Recreation Council. After hearing a report from Joe McIntire, a management analysist from the Center's Office of Finance and Management, Recreation Council members voted unanimously to urge that action be initiated immediately that will result in construction of the handball courts. Also, on the basis of the infonnation presently available to the !recreation Council, a motion was approved calling for $30,000 to be set aside from various non- appropriated fund accounts. Prior to this action, Recreation Council members listened to a presentation by McIntire, wbo covered cost estimates for both a prefabricated type of modular handball courts and cinder block- constructed handball courts. The costs cited included the expense of building two handball courts with an ob- servation area between and a storage area underneath the observation deck. McIntire suggested that an engineering estimate be made to confirm his estimate of the cost, which was based partially on the use of the Navy Self-Help program labor. Information obtained in preparing his report, Mclntire noted, had heen gathered from the Center's Safety and Public Works Departments, and the athletic director, as well as from users of the present handball court. Recreation members discussed the matter and decided that a cinder block- constructed court would be both a better facility and less expensive than a prefabricated one. Considering the feasibility of including an observation area, it was noted that such an area could be included at this point at very little ad- ditional cost and would be useful for teaching both handball and racketball, in addition to providing a place for spectators (Continued on Page 5) Iwe personnel to render assistance in Ridgecrest Hospital disaster drill A realistic disaster drill that is expected to involve as many as 300 persons will take place nen Thursday, May 22, between 1and 4 p.rn. in Ridgecrest. According to Carol A. Zaharias, a nurse at the Ridgecrest Community Hospital, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals requires that the local medical facility have written plans for the proper and timely care of casualties in the event of a disaster. It also is required that such plans be rehearsed periodically. This will be the first such disaster drill to be beld by the Ridgecrest Community Hospital. The public is being informed in advance of this event in order to avoid the worry and concern that would be natural if this was the real thing instead of a drill. Simulated will be a station wagon vs. bus accident at the intersection of S. China Lake Blvd. and Upjohn Rd. in Ridgecrest. More than 40 persons will be "injured" in the .mishap, consequently the drill will involve the participation of all available emergency personnel and equipment in the City of Ridgecrest. Ambulances, police and firemen in Ridgecrest will be rushed to the scene to transport the "accident victims," while (Continued on Page 4) made by calling Natalie Harrison, the community liaison assistant, by calling NWC en. 3481.

Jim Fath and Jud Smith, two represen- tatives of a non-profit group known as the Higb Desert Recycling Council, attended Tuesday night's meeting to seek CLCC support for a gJass recycling center.
