As recently as two years ago, manned airplanes and winged, air-breathing missiles accounted for 80 per cent of the service's re search and development budget. Little more than a decade from now aircraft will receive only 5 per cent of these funds as the Air Force changes over almost entirely into space exploration. As chart above shows, provision is even being made to nnanc projects that are now only in the imagination.

Farmers last year were able to produce a record crop for the state in spite of the low rainfall. There was enough water in reservoirs and underground from the year before. But the U.S. Weather Bureau and Hie state Department of Water Re sources have made a joint fore cast saying that there is almost no chance that the state will receive a normal water supply this year. The agencies point out that the first half of the rainy season is over . . . with only 40 per cent of the normal rainfall having fallen lo date in the San Joaquin river drainage area. Two-thirds ot that . . . falling in September . . . was absorbed immediately by dry ground and lust. The forecasters say that if rain fall during the rest of the winter and the coming spring is normal . stream flow will be approxi mately 70 per cent of average on the upper Sacramento River above Shasta Dam . . . and only 45 per cent on the American River above Folsom Dam. In the San Joaquin Basin . they hope for 70 per cent in the southern portion . . . and 50 per cent in the norlhern portion. If the rainfall is not up to par California is in for a very dry year for I he last half of the season . indeed. More Boats Now Using Lapstrake In the past several years, there's been a substantial increase in lap strake construction. This method of construction Is similar to the old Viking method of boatbuilding in which planks are lapped one above the oilier like house siding or long thin shingles. Originally used because it elim inated the need for caulking, this method of building with wood fell into disuse for some years because it tends to produce a heavier hull when conventional wood planking is used. However, in recent years several slock boat manufacturers have been experimenting with plywood in lapslrakc construction. Because this material can be fastened close to the edge without splitting, it is possible to produce a high strength hull with a minimum weight in a lapslrake boat. For example, Thompson Boat Works has dropped all other lines and this year will manufacture only lapstrake plywood hulls. Pro ponents of this method claim these advantages: The hull is drier. It is more graceful than a conventional V. bottom hull. The ridges in the ex terior hull surface tend to "cush ion" the boat against shock and to deflect flying spray. Thompson is not the only manu facturer utilizing this method of construction. According to Douglas Fir Plywood Association, an esti mated 30 per cent of the plywood hulls manufactured by stock boat builders in 1960 will be of lap strake construction.
