The Klamath Council of Camp
Fire Girls is sponsoring three day
camps this year. 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.

is "Serve the Nation and the Com

In a bomb proof auditorium

"This is doubtful, not from the

compete with other commercial

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

Air. Force is in position to defend

you go. Civilian firms engaged in
producing Ihe very finest pieces
of defense mechanisms; the highly

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

A war had taken place during
the interim. Afer telling his story

it is finally determined that he

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

Russia is an aggressor of varying

complacent. We are to be thank

when we departed on this trip.
There was a lot involved. Orders,
for example, which in part stat

Donnell Aircraft Corporation, St.

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.

Industry figures for the first six
months of 1959 now indicate that
construction this year will .exceed
the all-time records established in
the building ' boom year of 1955,
according to W. 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.
