PROGRESS STRIKES AN OLD LANDMARK - This AN-SPQ-5 (XN-l) radar was a familiar sight and landmark for over 16 years on the G-1 Range, Many Center employees can recall uys PAst when the "Spook" was the backbone of the many Terrier and Tart.r surface-to-air missik! firings_ Inst.lk!d in 1954 the AN-SPQ-S provided accurate target tracking and missi~ guidance for the m.ny Terrier, Tartar and Standard Missite tests conducted on G-1 Range between 1955 and 1'''.As the missiles were developed. improved and introduced into the fleet the radar was used for other purposes. Recently the need for improved radars and better space utilization has forced the removal and subsequent replacement of this radar with more modern equipment to support the G-1 Range in. strumentation requirements. LCdr. John N. Milliken, Jr., and FTMl Bobby D. Caster are two men still on active duty who have worked with "Spook." Other former Navy men who are now working as civilians on the Center that worked with the radar include: Duane L Burton. Richard H. Smith. Richard Wood, Willard Stratton, Chuck Farnham and Robert Galvin. -Photo by PH2 D. E. Hart Early Release Plans Changed, Bupers States The Bureau of Naval Personnel announced recently that tbe three month general early release program will probably be reduced to two months in the next phase. That means that personnel with an EAOS date in July 1971 will be released in Apri~ August losses will be released in May and Sep- tember losses will be released in July 1971. Present plans indicate that this two month general early release program will continue at least throogh the remainder of calendar year 1971. In his recent NAVOP, Adm. Environment Campaign Shows Fine Results The current ACCENT ON EN- VIRONMENT campaign at China Lake is showing results hoth from the efforts of residents and ex- tensive contractor cljl8n-up of aUeys and other public areas. Most noteworthy is the clean condition of alleys in housing areas where contractors have been meticulously cleaning up and hauling away bushels of wtnd blown trash. To keep alleys in this orderly condition all residents are urged to hox or bag loose material that cannot be put into dumpsters. Spring winds can scatter loose leaves or light material in a matter of minutes. From all reports the cooperatioo of residents wtth tbe China Lake ACCENT ON ENVmONMENT is excellent. Everyone's continuing cooperation will keep areas already cleaned in good condition. Residents of Capehart sites and Desert Park are reminded that tree trinunings or other bulky material should be cut to four foot lengths and tied. Bundles of trimmings and bagged or hoxed light material can be placed on curbs with the "GI" cans for pick up on regular rubbish collectioo days in these housing areas. Residents in areas served by dumpsters can help keep the en- vironment clean and pleasant for everyone by hoxing or bagging loose litter. This will avoid redistribution of leaves and light material once it has been cleaned up. Keeping lids of the dumpsters closed will also help to keep litter from bei~ dragged out by animals or scattered by the wind. A recent clean-up was made at Mirror Lake to enhance its at- tractiveness and use for recreatioo by residents at China Lake. Dwnping of discarded items or old cars on the lake will create an unsightly and hazardous condition for joggers, dog walkers or motor cyclists who use it for recreation and healthful exercise. The dwnp east of Richmond Road provided for China Lake residents threatens to become a problem if garbage and other wet refuse is disposed of at the open pit. This pit is designed for bulky tree trimmings, scrap material or discarded articles that will create an environmental problem. Use of the pit is for the convenience of China Lake residents but it is not approved for disposal of garbage or wet refuse. Nor is it suitable for disposition of junk car bodies. Grass seed for planting or renewing lawns is still available . through the Housing Office. Call Extension 2082 and talk to one of the Housing Managers ahout ob- taining a supply of grass seed to help make China Lake a more attractive community. Every resident is urged to do his part to make ACCENT ON EN- VIRONMENT a meaningful campaign for his neighborhood and .the entire community. Inside . ..

Hart Early Release Plans Changed, Bupers States The Bureau of Naval Personnel announced recently that tbe three month general early release program will probably be reduced to two months in the next phase. That means that personnel with an EAOS date in July 1971 will be released in Apri~ August losses will be released in May and Sep- tember losses will be released in July 1971. Present plans indicate that this two month general early release program will continue at least throogh the remainder of calendar year 1971. In his recent NAVOP, Adm. Environment Campaign Shows Fine Results The current ACCENT ON EN- VIRONMENT campaign at China Lake is showing results hoth from the efforts of residents and ex- tensive contractor cljl8n-up of aUeys and other public areas. Most noteworthy is the clean condition of alleys in housing areas where contractors have been meticulously cleaning up and hauling away bushels of wtnd blown trash. To keep alleys in this orderly condition all residents are urged to hox or bag loose material that cannot be put into dumpsters. Spring winds can scatter loose leaves or light material in a matter of minutes. From all reports the cooperatioo of residents wtth tbe China Lake ACCENT ON ENVmONMENT is excellent. Everyone's continuing cooperation will keep areas already cleaned in good condition. Residents of Capehart sites and Desert Park are reminded that tree trinunings or other bulky material should be cut to four foot lengths and tied. Bundles of trimmings and bagged or hoxed light material can be placed on curbs with the "GI" cans for pick up on regular rubbish collectioo days in these housing areas. Residents in areas served by dumpsters can help keep the en- vironment clean and pleasant for everyone by hoxing or bagging loose litter. This will avoid redistribution of leaves and light material once it has been cleaned up. Keeping lids of the dumpsters closed will also help to keep litter from bei~ dragged out by animals or scattered by the wind. A recent clean-up was made at Mirror Lake to enhance its at- tractiveness and use for recreatioo by residents at China Lake. Dwnping of discarded items or old cars on the lake will create an unsightly and hazardous condition for joggers, dog walkers or motor cyclists who use it for recreation and healthful exercise. The dwnp east of Richmond Road provided for China Lake residents threatens to become a problem if garbage and other wet refuse is disposed of at the open pit. This pit is designed for bulky tree trimmings, scrap material or discarded articles that will create an environmental problem. Use of the pit is for the convenience of China Lake residents but it is not approved for disposal of garbage or wet refuse. Nor is it suitable for disposition of junk car bodies. Grass seed for planting or renewing lawns is still available . through the Housing Office. Call Extension 2082 and talk to one of the Housing Managers ahout ob- taining a supply of grass seed to help make China Lake a more attractive community. Every resident is urged to do his part to make ACCENT ON EN- VIRONMENT a meaningful campaign for his neighborhood and .the entire community. Inside . ..
