SEABEE RESERVES HELP OUT-A big assist was provided over the past weekend by more than a dozen SeaBee Reservists from Bakersfield, members of Sub-unit 11-21 of Mobile Construction Battalion 17. The Sea Bees turned out to handle the job of grading a parking lot area at the site of a golf driving range and miniature golf course that is scheduled for development in Ridgecrest. The visiting SeaBees made good use of the heavy equipment made available to them by the Naval Weapons Center as they worked throughout the day on Saturday and from early morning until noon on Sunday. In addition to completing the parking lot grading work, the Sea Bees also moved a building onto the site for use as a field office in connection with this Ridgec'rest Improvement Committee project. The new community recreation area is being developed on a 19-acre parcel of city-owned land that is located just east of the fairgrounds in Ridgecrest.

Dr. Spears, who has served as the disbict's assislant superin- tendent for instruction since Or. Sol Spears January, 1971, will succeed Dr. Paul Smith in the superintendent's lOSt. He was given a three year contract. There were nearly 100 applicants for the position of superintendent of schools at China Lake. A screening committee headed by Dr. Harry Blair, Kern County Superintendent of Schools, assisted by three superintendents of other school disbicts in Kern County, and Mrs. Lynn Powers, rep· resenting the China Lake school board, narrowed the applicants down to a dozen whose qual- ifications.were then considered at length by local school trustees. At the same time that the decision was made to promote Dr. Spears to the superintendent's job, it also was decided not to fill the job of assistant superintendent in charge of instruction which he will be vacating. Dr. Spears came to China Lake after serving for nearly nine years as a principal in the Culver City Unified School Disbict. As a result of his leadership as a school principal, Dr. Spear's school was one of 18 in Southern California to be selected to participate for a period of five years in the Ket- tering Foundation-supported In- stitute for the Development of Educational Activities while he was with the Culver City Disbict. The project was designed to study and implement the latest theory (Continued on Page 3) Work Moves Ahead on Bldg. At Fairgrounds Workmen are rushing to com- plete the construction of Roy Martin Hall, the permanent multi- purpose building located on the Desert Empire Fairgrounds. Work on the building is expected to be 75 per cent finished by the time of the annual Spring Festival, to be held May 31 through June 4 at the fair- grounds. "The only thing lacking will be some finishing work and the cooling and heating systems," said C. Rae Leonard, chairman of the DEF Advisory Council of Clubs. During the Spring Festival, the hail will be used to house a sport- sman's show featuring boats, campers and trailers. Once it is completed, the building will be the headquarters for everything from exhibits to exercises, conventions, concerts and any other use which the DEF (Continued on P.ge 3) Effectiveness of Animal Control Program Boosted A tenfold increase in number of dogs that either have been ob- served running loose or have been impounded was reported at the end of the first month of operation by an animal control officer who is now able to devote his efforts exclusively to tbe Naval Weapons Center housing area (including Desert Park). Since beginning the job of patrolling just the NWC bousing area, Merton Davis, Jr., has been able to observe or pick up 127 canine pets who were roaming tbe streets in violation of local regulations. In comparison, before the ad- ditional animal control officer was hired, the single officer whose job it was to patrol both city and county areas outside the Naval Weapons Center, as well as at China Lake, had brought in just 40 stray dogs at China Lake during the first 3'h months of 1972. The addition of Davis as an animal control officer at China Lake has meant additional coverage also is now possible by the officer, Gil Pritchett, who continues to patrol tbe City of Ridgecrest and outlying county areas. Davis is an employee of the City of Ridgecrest who is handling what is a Kern County job under tbe terms of an agreement that has been worked out between the city, the county and NWC. His job calls for putting in a 4(). hour week, but random hours (including some patrolling on evenings and on weekends) are being worked-not just a straight 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. shift on weekdays.
