The awards are presented to the Industrial Company or Government organization which has the highest degree of par· ticipation in the program or has reported the greatest sav· ings as a result of utilizing IDEP. The award was presented at an awards banquet which was part of the annual IDEP Work· shop. The principal banquet speaker, Vice Admiral A. R. Gralla, USN, was extremely complimentary of the efforts of IDEP and to the recipients of awards. Lester G. Bechtel, Senior Re· liability Engineer, Code 55032, accepted the award for NWC. FIGHTS DUPLICATION lDEP il a method by which aerospace components d a t a can be freely exchanged be· tw.en various Government ag· encies and between the Gov· ernment and Indultry. By UI· ing thil method, it is hoped that free exchange of compon· ent data will help to eliminate duplication of cOltly and time- consuming testing. The IDEP concept was start· ed in 1960 when the Army, Navy, and Air Force were fac· ed with the problem of dupli· cation in testing. For example, prior to 1960, it was not unusu· al to have three or more com· panies testing the same relay and not knowing it. To eliminate this duplica· tion, the Army, Navy, and Air Force called about forty dif· ferent companies together to extablish a Technical Informa· tion Exchange Program. At that time, emphasis was placed on missile and space data with test reports constituting about 90 per cent of the data and general technical information the remaining 10 per cent. In the intervening years since 1960, over 200 companies have become participants in the program. This voluntary participation by industry is 11 testimonial to the contribution and cost effectiveness of the IDEP program. Since its inception, the data base of reports has been ex· panded to include a broad range of data on almost every technical or scientific subject and has been expanded to in· clude failure analysis, improv· ed test specifications, exchange of information on processes in all types of electrical/elec· tronic items to mechanical/hy· draulic and other important hardware.

County Officers Warn Dog Owners All dog owners in the coun· ty were warned recently by Owen A. Kearns, M.D., Coun· ty Health and Air Pollution Control Officer, today that they are liable to receive cita· tions from animal control of· ficers if their dogs are not (1) vaccinated against rabies, (2) licensed for 1969, and (3) kept within the owner's proper· ty at all times in urban areas (China Lake is not an urban area by county ordinance). The county health official urged all delinquent dog own· ers to take their pets im· mediately to a veterinary hos· pital for rabies vaccinations and to take their vaccination certificates to their city or county tax collector's office for 1969 licence tags. Animal control officers from the Heal· th Department are now con· ducting a drive to cite anyone in violation of the state and county laws requiring vacina· tion of all dogs four months and older with the two·year rabies vaccine and annual lic· ensing. Conviction involves a misdemeanor and fines. Dr. Kearns also reminded all dog owners that the countv leash law requires that all dogs in urban areas, even those vaccinated and licensed. be confined to their owners property. Any dog running at larJ!e in any urban area can be legally picked up and im· pounded and his owner cite1. Lately, the Department has received many complaints of dogs destroving property, at· tacking children and other ani· mals, etc. Two Recommendations Since many familes will be planning vaction trips to the great outdoors this summer. Dr. Kearns made two stron~ recommendations: (1) be sure to have your dog vaccinated so he won't contract rabies in case he's bit ten by bats, skunks. or other rabid animals; (2) teach your entire family to avoid contact with these or other wild animals, as there is a good chance they may be infected with some s e rio u s disease, such as rabies or pia· gue.
