Sat Night April IrvS&Fm?7VTm& i t T ,i . iiil i ...iiii nil ui, ff ANN JONES Featuring Yvonne Fritchie Rhythmic Guitarist Hear Her Do Her Famous Recording, "Sugar Booger Avenue" MKBIUE VALLEY Ballroom A Nkhol's Worth of . . . Comment On By HARMAN United Pratf Washington (U.R) My agent reports from Camp Desert Rock in Nevada, where the A-bombs J; . are being test ed, mat me is pretty dull most of the time. 'There ain't a Korean vet eran here," he says, "w h o won't swear this place is worse than the parallels of Ko harman fticrxois rea when it comes to boredom. At least even Korea offered more amusement.'' The boredom, my friend re lates, is broken on time, though, at exactly 5:30 each morning. Everybody is jarred out of the pad by the roar of an ancient 105 millimeter cannon, which has been subjected to at least half a dozen atomic blasts. The old boomer was hauled out of the equipment test area and now is under the flagpole hard by the commanding gen eral's quonset hut headquarters. It's painted kelly green, by the way. Nobody Sleeps After the waking-up roar, a volunteer band, made up of an odd collection of tubas, drums, bugles and other noise-makers gives with martial tunes, to make sure nobody crawls back in the straw. "And then," says the agent, "a litle later, out comes the spangles and Old Glory starts a climb up a 100-foot pole." "And that," my informant in forms, "sends those of us who can hie away, hieing off to the beer tent, which laughingly is called an 'officers' club,' for a hatful of foam. Something that will hold us until chow." Incidentally, this unnamed friend of mine who would get himself clobbered right good by Secretary of Defense Charlie Wilson for tattling, says that the military police really have done a job. The commanding officer of the MP's sat himself down to think one morning and came up with a bright idea, right there in the middle of the sands of the desert. The Painted Desert "We will have," he announced, "a desert beautiful next week!" And so it was. Tilings like that in the mili tary run along on a voluntary basis. But what GI, withering from boredom, would not run Daily Weather Report DATE April 14. 1955 FOKKCASTS Medford and vicinity: Partly cloudy tonight and Friday. Cooler with local frost tonight.

NICHOLS Feetvr Wrtot around pretty-ing up a desert, rather than sitting in the hot sun looking at worndown cactus? The lads got out buckets with paint in, and started dabbing rocks in tints like dubonet,' pea green and purple. Colors that blend right smart. Cactus that had rested happily in sands for many moons found themselves transplanted. Signs were put up, saying "Make this base beautiful!" Well, in a couple of weeks, my agent lets me know, the first prize will go to the platoon which does the best job of put ting a marcel and make up on a desert. Prize will be the honor to lead the column home when the test shooting of A-bombs is over. Small Metal Disk With Radioactivity Puzzles Officials Central City, Colo. U.R) Central City AEC officials ad mitted today they were unable to identify a small but highly radio-active metal disk found in a gulch south of this historic mining community. The mysterious metal disk, measirng two inches in diamet er and about a quarter - inch thick, also has baffled t.e FBI, U.S. Geological Service, state health officials and veteran min ing men as to its origin or use. A geiger counter reading of the strange "button" showed it registered more than 20 per cent radio-active. Found in Gulch Morris Steen, 30, a m.illworker for Cherokee Uranium, Inc., found the disk in Lake Gulch a mile south of here. He said he spotted what he thought was a chunk of lead and pocketed it at the time without further investi gation. The millworker said when he was removing the lead to make fishing weights Wednesday he discovered the mysterious disk inside. Officials said the lead apparently was a t homemade shield for the object. Small Window The disk has a small glass window on one side and a white, powdery substance which glows in the dark is visible inside the window. On the reverse side, the object has a clasp similar to a clip used to hold objects on trouser belts. Also on the back is an inscrip tion reading: "UNDARK" at the top. At the bottom it reads: "22MTTR58 USRC" then "Poi son Inside." It's Wonderful! It's Great!
