Car pools are being formed to accommodate girls whose parents cannot furnish transportation. Directing the program will be Mrs. Karl Clark. She will have the following adult staff members and older Camp Fire Girls assist ing her: Mrs. Pharos Book, Mrs. Frank Spero, Mrs. James J)ancy, Mrs. Reece Bailey, Sue Lund.

The first, Camp Kuga Kilo, was held the last week in June at Crescent for girls of the Gilchrist, Crescent and Cres cent Lake area. On Tuesday, July 14, Camp Waita will open at Moore Park for two, four day ses sions. Registrations are still open lor this camp. The Camp Fire day camps arc operated to meet standards of the agency plus those of the American Camping Association and because the agency is a niember of the Klamath County United Fund their day camps are open to all girls at one fee, $2 for four days, re gardless of whether they hold a membership in Camp Fire Girls.

This company, which today has a payroll team of 25.000. is only about 20 years old. Its theme is "Serve the Nation and the Com munity." Not a bad philosophy to follow wherever you are.

With the aid of films and ver bal outlines, this team of three really had us dizzy with facts and figures. For example, there are 17'i miles of wiring in the Voodoo , . , enough to wire 175 homes and 45 motors are among the five million parts in the plane. Airborne armament control sys tems produced by Hughes com pute the exact path for an inter ceptor to fly, automatically pre pare the missiles for launching and, at the precise moment for a kill, release the missiles to track down and destroy the target. This is in any kind of weather, day or night, Two components perform these functions radar and com puter. The radar automatically searches for targets and relays target data to the computer, as well as to a radar scope in front of the pilot. The radar automati cally 'tracks the target, while the computer computes the track course. This type of stuff makes one's head go in circles. But rea lize that on the Hughes technical staff, one out of every five has a master's degree and one in 15, a doctorate. What powers these interceptors? Well, these days power is spoken of in terms of thrust instead of what us old-timers used to call horsepower. At any rale, the F-101-B lus two Pratt and Whitney J-57 turbojets each with a thrust of 10,000 pounds each. What does this mean in Ihe way of making the bird go? These birds go fast er than the speed of sound 1,200 miles per hour or more, and cover more ground than a team of hayburners, at least for one day. You see, here is a team of three manufacturers coordinating their individual specialties into one unit of equipment with which our Air. Force is in position to defend the country. Teamwork wherever you go. Civilian firms engaged in producing Ihe very finest pieces of defense mechanisms; the highly skilled professional Air Force pilots plying their trade in carrying out the mission of D1ID detection, in terception, identificalfon, destruc tion. After we had. been pumped full ol statistics on airframes, mis siles,, defense systems, striking forces and counter-measures came a lively round-table discussion on all we had seen in the interim of three days. .Measurers, countei measurers, attack, defend. One thought again of Newton's third law. If one could track and de stroy, surely the aggressor or de fendant could do likewise. A stale mate? Possibly. However, the United States has committed it self not to he the aggressor. Then what are the limitations of being constantly in the position of retal iation as the primary move? This poses a very real problem and one of extreme necessity for di plomacy on the highest level. It is my firm conviction that we have an excellenlly well-trained and . combat-ready deterrent , to war, However, one cannot feel com- Construction In 1959 May Exceed 1955 Boom ing in which some gremlins and their form of "stump juice." After a number of years, hi awakens to find very strange surroundings. His dog is gone. His wife is dead. A war had taken place during the interim. Afer telling his story many times and making inquiry, it is finally determined that he has returned to his own town. However, during-his absence many things have changed. As a matter 6f fact, when he awoke to reality, and reached or his well oiled and polished fowling piece but found instead an old flintlock in poor repair the lock fallen off, the barrel encrusted with rust, and the slock worm eaten. When I thought I was fairly well versed in what was going on in the way of defense, it was folly. We can take pride and a sense of security in knowing that our defense manufacturers, producing superior deterrents and the profes sional defenders of this nation, are a team without peer. As lay peo ple, our efforts should be lo bet ter understand what is going on in behalf of our own defense and to attain a sanctuary of security in our country by assisting and aiding these knowledgeable defend ers of the ramparts. . As long as Russia is an aggressor of varying degrees, we cannot afford to be complacent. We are to be thank ful we have a sharp military force and versed people in de fense to do their part. Our part is lo support them at every turn. Alter all, it is our collective lives that are being waged in this world poker game. Sure seems like a long time ago when we departed on this trip. There was a lot involved. Orders, for example, which in part stat ed, "authorized to travel on mili tary aircraft from Kingsley Field to Ent AFB, Colorado, and Mc Donnell Aircraft Corporation, St. Louis, Missouri, in connection with attending ADC NORAD briefing at Ent AFB, Colorado, and attend ing F-I01-B orientation briefing at St. Louis, Missouri, and return to Kingsley Field. Oregon. Travel is necessary in the military service and is authorized under the pro visions of AFR 76-6 or 76-15 as applicable, at no expense to the United Stales Government." Those are awfully short orders lo cover everything we saw. Justification?

R. Wilkinson, vice president of Johns-Manville Cor poration. Wilkinson, who is general mana ger of the company's building prod ucts division, said that Johns Manville statistical studies and field reports for the half year end ing June 30 forecast approximate ly 1,3B0,000 new home starts in 1959, an increase of some 40,000 over the 1,320,000 new home starts recorded in peak year of 1955. "Dollar value of new construc tion in 1959 could reach about 56 billion dollars on the basis of in formation we now have," he said. "This is another all-time record. Add to this an indicated 22 billion dollars worth of modernization, maintenance and repairs on exist ing structures and you get a 78 billion dollar construction year. about eight billion dollars more than our 1958 year-end forecasts led us to expect. This is a con struction record never before achieved by any nation. "The rapid pace of construction all over the country revealed by figures for the first six months have obliged us to revise our annual construction estimates up wards for. the second time this year, Wilkinson said, and this takes into account a strong prob ability that new housing starts may be down more than seasonally in the last half of 1959," he said. "For the past seven months, pub lic and private housing starts have varied at the seasonally adjusted annual rate of close to or even over 1,400,000 new homes," Wil kinson said. "This rate is well above what we and many others in the construction industry had expected. It is, however, not above what we had estimated to be the 'normal' demand for new housing in 1959, if you include the current high rale of demolition of old structures, as well as new house hold formations and other factors our economists use in making these forecasts. "Many of us," he said, "have suspected since early this year that the building boom expected by government and industry econo mists to start in the early lntiO's may already be in the first stages I of getting underway ahead of pect money spent on new build ing in the next six months will be at an annual rate of about 46.5 billion dollars or about three per cent more than in the first half of the year. On this basis, we are forecasting' that the dollar value of new construction in 1959 will total about 56 billion dollars, a rise of 14 per cent over 1958.
