Vienna Choir Boys Display Musical Charm and Talent

I

-t

Charm is a fragile weapon alone but when it is backed by great natural talent and tota discipline it becomes the high art with which .the Vienna Choir Boys conquered the local audi ence in their Feb. 4 concert a the Station Theater.

-

-

The ensemble of 22 boys di reeted by Anton Neyder dem onstrated their musical author ity in the first very difficult number "Ascendit Deus" by Gallus and then called up the soaring .rches of a Gothic ca thedral with the ethereal tone of "Qui Dabit Oculis" by Senfl

,

-

From there through B a c h Handel, and Schubert's lovely "Twenty-Third Psalm" they real Iy were an angelic choir.

" Innocent Merriment" was the real title of ' "The 0 per a Rehearsal" by Albert Lortzing which the Vienna Choir Boy s presented with gaiety, charm,

and real acting verve. The songs by Schubert and

Brahms were done with real feeling and the folk songs were quite good but their best was the "Kaiserwalzer" by Johann Strauss which the Vienna Choir Boys have made their own spe· cialty_ They sang it with the fer-vor of a national anthem and it is cert.inly the most brilliant version of Str.uss loc.1 .udienc· es had heard.

From

-.

TO

The boys were · c a II e d back for three encores (the maxi-mum they ever sing) w h ic h were a polka "Vergnuegungs. zug" by Strauss, "Oh, Susanna" by Stephen Foster, and "Good. night, Ladies."

The reception which followed the concert ' was sponsored by the Alpha Alpha Psi chapter of Beta Sigma Phi sorority :with Mrs. PoUy Highto\Ver 'in ' charge~

NOTS-Developed ROCOZ Device Will Be Payload

By BUDD GOTT A six-man team of NOTS' sci·

entists and technicians w ill )aunch high altitude probes de, veloped here at China Lake to a height of 200,000 feet through the ozone layer of the earth's atmosphere off the coast of South America in the next two months.

Purpose of the project is to map the distribution of stratos. pheric ozone between the equa. tor and 60 deg. south latitude in the Southern Hemisphere_'

This will be the first survey of atmospheric ozone over a wide range of latitude in a short time in either hemisphere.

The NOTS' team will conduct the project while participating in the NASA-sponsored Mobile. Launch Expedition No. 1 aboard the jeep aircraft carrier, USS Croatan, which leaves Baltimore next Monday.

The 500-foot long vessel is equipped to launch Arc a s, Hasp, and Nike r ockets.

The team will launch its Ar. cas-rocket-boosted probes from the deck of the Croatan each 10 degrees of latitude from 7 degrees north to 60 degrees south, according to Arlin J. Krueger, project manager.

, The probes will be equipped with the NOTS-d eve l op e d ozone sonde (ROCOZ) instru· ment. The instrument has passed muster in a 142,000-ft. balloon flight at Sioux Falls, S.D., and in a series of Arcas Rocket test flights at Pt. Mugu.

The team while aboard ship will also employ a British-de· veloped Dobson ozone spectro­photometer to measure the to­tal ozone content of the atmos· phere. . .

. Krueger formed the expedi. tion team from members of Dr. Pierre St. Amand's Earth and Planetary Sciences DiVision of the Research Department.

Team Members In addition to project man,

ager Krueger, team members are:

Ordinarily the Internal Reve­nue Service does not question miscellaneous sales tax deduc­ions taken in accordance with the above table, but deductions in excess of that allowed by the table must be supported by tax­payers' records.

NOTS Pasad.ena News The Statistics Tell Why

~~~!t~ firs~rm~~~Qf 1~~!tNava~~I!~ne Cprps persQnnel were killed in mo.to.r vehicle accidents, a CQm­E~ven repQrt PQints o.ut.

Ifho.se statistics represent an increase Qf 16 per cent Qver the previQus year. In the same 10 months, 4389 persQnnel w ere injured, an increase of five per cent Qver 1963.

IIThis represents a s e rio u s loss to the Navy in trained per­sonnel as well as a financial loss of some $18,606,300," the re­po.rt continues.

The American Medical ASSQ­ciatio.n, U.S. Public Health Serv­ice, NatiQnal Safety Co.uncil, and many o.ther safety - minded Qr­ganizations, say, "Smart drivers use seat belts . .. "

: Here are SQme o.f the reas­ons why: • Seat belts hQld yQU in yo.ur seat at sudden stops so. yQU may feel free to. apply brakes as hard as possible witho.ut fear of un­s~ting YQurself Qr yo.ur pas­sengers. • Seat belts ho.ld yo.u in yo.ur seilt Qn quick turns and under uJlt!xpected rQad hazards. • You will no.t be knQcked away frQm the wheel and brake in a minQr collisiQn. • Seat belts k e e p yQU mOore

alert by: Preventing fatigue caused by

a slo.uching positio.n that hinders pro.per breathing.

Reducing the muscular activ­ity needed to. maintain equilibri-um.

Preventing back-aches by keeping yo.u co.mfo.rtably in the pro.per sitting po.sture.

Keeping yo.u in an upright po.sitio.n fo.r better viewing o.f the ro.ad.

Ho.lding yo.u co.mfo.rtably in place o.n bumpy and twisting ro.ads. • Seat belts reduce the chance o.f being hurt frQm being thro.wn arQund inside tbe car. • Seat belts spread up to. 6000 Ibs. o.f impact fo.rce fairly even­ly o.ver a 1 a r g e area o.f the bOody which greatly reduces the fQrce Qn any Qne PQint. This in effect extends the stQPping dis­tance which Io.wers the impact fo.rce, and reduces the injury. The seat belt abso.rbs part o.f the- fo.rce so. that if yo.u do. hit the instrument panel or steer­ing wheel, the remaining fQrce is co.nsiderably reduced.

Pu rpose and function of the Patent Division is to help Station employees sec u r e patents on their inventions and to protect the government against pay· ment of royalties to other par· ties on inventions first mad e by goverrtment employees.

Because Civil Service emplQY­ees generally co.n~ive the i r inventio.ns during wo.rking hQurs us i n g tax-supPQrted facilities and funds , the gQvernment nec­essarily takes title to. their in­ventions,

However, to encourage inven­tio.ns, the gQvernment in SQme cases allo.ws the inventQr to. re­tain title.

This grants the inventor sale right to his invention for 17 ' years, giving the government a rovalty-free license in recom­pense for sustaining the prose­cution costs in obtain ing the patent.

The inventQr may then sell his inventio.n Qr co.llect rQyal­ties thro.ugh industrial o.r pub­lic use.

-CHAPLAIN'S MESSAGf -----,

Comic Valentines?

By CHAPLAIN ROBERT W. ODELL

Near Poughkeepsie, New York there's a sign outside a kennel which announces "The only love that money can buy. Puppies for sale." The sages offer several thoughts on love that are almost worthwhile including here. For instance, Eu­ripides writes in his "Fragments" that "love teaches letters to a m an unlearned," while Ovid claims in "Amores" that "every lover is a soldier and Cupid has a camp of his own." Jaubert in his book called "Pensees" dares to state that "when we love it is the heart that judges." The real question is - what do you think? Is love a comic valentine, perhaps??

A little boy, six years old, recently introduced to the magic of numbers by his first grade teacher, applied that knowledge in a spontaneous expression of affection toward his mother. With all the conviction a boy of his age could command, he said "Mother, I love you as many times as God can count!"

Dr. Gordon Palmer, President of Eastern Theological Semi­nary, said to a group of students one day, "Love is not blind. Lust is blind. If - love is blind, God is blind." Love is certainly more than a comic valentine. It is a gift of God, whereby we love our neighbor, our neighborhood, our families, our coun­try as well as ourselves.

It is true that love consists of a little sighing, a little cry­ing, and a little dying. Mrs. Isador Straus was one of the few women who went down on the Titantic in 1912 and she went down because she could not bear to leave her husband. Both he and she were calm throughout the excitement of loading the life boats (the story goes). Both aided frightened women and children to find places aboard them. Finally, Mr. Straus, who had been urging his wife again and again to seek safety in a life boat, forced her to enter one. She was no more seated, how­ever, than she sprang up and got to the deck before her hus­band could stop her. There, she caught his ram, snuggling it against her side, exclaiming, "We have been long together through many years. We are old now. Where you go, I'll go!"

Happy Valentine's to you and yours always. God bless . ..

Whiskey Flat Days Coming

Bv "pOP" LOFINCK

How to get there - go over Walker Pass. About two miles beyond Weldon - turn north - to your right - around north end of Lake Isabella to Kernville.

The old town of Whiskey Flat is under the lake; caused by the dam. You need a diving suit.

But the new Kernville is patterned after the old, and the friendly spirit and liquid spirits and surrounding mountains haven't changed much.

To be in character you should wear a "gone with the wind costume," or dress like a wild west pioneer or a bum prospec­tor.

Whiskey Flat was named by Adam Hamilton. He could have named it Hamilton or Adamsville. But he called it what it was - a flat place by the river where he sold whiskey and ran a store.

The local dignitaries thought it should have a more sedate name. There was much argument on the subject. An interview was conducted in 1860 to measure public opinion on the con­troversy. A Mr. J . W. Sumner took the opposite view. Said he: "As these rough little camps become towns, we must think of the ladies. My wife refuses to belong to a society known as the Whiskey Flat Ladies Reading and Culture Soiree." So it was changed to Kernville. But the name Whiskey Flat will always be remembered.

Which just goes to show that even in 1860 the ladies had the last word - and when ladies get into a controversy you can't win unless you're on their side.
