Missile Program Has * . ' Fine Safety Record

CAPE CANAVERAL (UPIF — For eight horrible seconds the I sleek, white rocket—instead of arching harmlessly over the Atlantic—veered sharply over the heart of the Cape "and aimed death and destruction toward the mainland. - . ..At the end of those eight seconds, which seemed much longer, a range safety officer triggered j a pair of “destruct” switches ’ which blew the Minuteman ICBM j into hundreds of fiery fragments, [ including tons of volatile solid , propellant, into a “safety area,” keeping damage at a minimum. There were no injuries in the spectacular accident here last Oc-1 tober. A year aha a half earlier an Atlas missile knifed into the sky in the first effort to orbit an unmamtod space capsule. “She looks like a good one,” an observer remarked. Others thought so too. But an Air Force officer intently watching electronic indicators on an instrument panel knew better. The indicators told him the rocket was off course. He let the missile'rise for a few more seconds, then triggered the switches which sent an electric impulse to an explosive package inside the Atlas. Erupts In Flame Instantly, the might missile erupted in a ball of fire 45,000 feet in the air. Chunks of flaming debris showered to the , ground, some falling on the blockhouse which protected missilemen at the launch site. The space capsule was blasted free by a rocket escape system f and was dropped undamaged into the ocean by parachute. There were no injuries. That these two unsuccessful, launchings were not further marred by deaths or injuries can be attributed in large measure to what scientists here call the impact prediction system. The complex system provides the range safety officer, the man

who must trigger the “destruct” switches if necessary, with information on where the missile would impact, if fuel were to be cut off iduyihg powered flight. The system also enables recovery forties to be on the way to the scene even before the nose cone impacts. Trains Safety Officers As the nation’s pioneer launching site, the spaceport here helps train safety officers from other bases and scores of missilemen from operational bases and military schools pass through here for observation and training. Safety officers work closely with the launch agencies. The launchers indicate what they would like to attain and then it is determined whether it can be done safely. Charts are drawn covering the entire course of a planned launch. The charts show such things as distances from populated areas, islands along the route and emergency procedure. During the launch itself several officers besides the range safety officer man various instruments to observe plotted flight- data Because of these safety measures the potentially dangerous missile program—which involves explosives, great pressures, high voltage and super-inflammable fuejs—has a safety record that outshines that of many bther itldustries. Shoe Store Leases Business Building The store building at 154 North Second street, formerly occupied by Kaye's shoe store and owned by Al Beavers, has been leased’by the Shoe Corporation of America which maikets shoes under the trade name of Schiff's shoes. The company now operates two stores in Fort Wayne. one downtown and one in the Gateway Plaza shopping center.

o —— 0 Modern Etiquette I By Roberta Lee | a o Q. How should you greet an acquaintance whom you haven't seen for a long time and who you suspect does not remember you? ‘ ... . A. Be kind.’ Assume your name has been forgotten and say, “How do you do? J’m Mary Sanders,” or "Mrs. Sanders," whichever you prefer. The other person will bless you for it if he really has forgotten your hame. Q. May a luncheon or dinner table ever be bare of tablecloth? A. Acceptable today — but only for very informal occasions. Attractive when colorful pottery .dishes, silver, or stainless-steel implements and bright paper napkins are used. Q. How about the; makeup and accessories worn by a bride? A. Go easy on the makeup. The less you can get by with the better. Also jewelry. Bangles and beads are definitely superfluous. ■ § ? 7~ —7O I Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee 0 0 Aerating the Lawn Ycu can do an easy job of aerating the lawn or garden by equipping yourselt with a pair of shoe soles cut from Vi-inch plywood. Drive long, nails through these boards so they project from the bottom, and attach leather or rope straps around the boards and around your own shoes. Then wear these soles while working around your garden or while mowing your lawn and you’ll be giving those roots the air they need. Hardened Glue You can soften up hardened glue by placing a few drops of vinegar in the container. i J J ■ BF ! - * < if J : 11 I' t L I I EARLY TRIUMPH—E ight-een-month •01 d Janice McNabb proudly holds up the first fish she has caught.
