Reynolds, AUF president. Included in the merger will be AUF, Arrowhead Social Planning Council, Valley Volunteer Bureau, and Health Foundation The reorganization and change in emphasis has been ap proved by a 35-member steering committee which has been sfudying the matter since April. It is anticipated organizational planning will be completed by Feb. 1, a committee spokesman said. At that time the four organizations will dissolve and a new one, United Community Services of the Arrowhead Area, will be formed.

The new organization will still be in the fund raising business to meet needs of member agen cies, officials said. "It is our conviction that one organization with integrated planning, budgeting, fund raising and public relations will be more efficient, save volunteers time, and will cost less than separate organisations," said Clyde H. Mitchell, San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce sec retary manager, who heads the steering committee. "It is hoped that a long range priority plan of financing and periodic evaluation of health and welfare services will develop," Mitchell said. Donald L.

Morgan, AUF executive vice president, said he thought collections in the fund drive would improve as service to needs became more efficient under the plan. The shift toward planning is, in part, a trend that has been under way for some tune. Mor gan said. Among other things, he hopes the shift will change the image of the AUF. "People generally have looked on us as an efficient organiza tion for the collection of funds to support 52" member agen cies.

The responsibility of the com munity group has grown far larger than that, he said. Under the new organization he feels it will be possible to meet what he calls the greater responsibility. "We need to provide for the needs of people provide quality service at the lowest cost to the people of the Arrowhead area."

At 12:56 p.m. one of the pilots in the training flight radioed to the George AFB command post that Martinez had crashed. Preliminary rerwrts from the crash scene indicated that Capt. Martinez may nave attempted to eject from nis iignter wnen he lost control. A convov was rushed to the firing range but, the spokesman said, the veteran Dilot was dead when it arrived at the scene an hour later.

Capt. Martinez was a member of the famed 476 Tactical Fight er Squadron, dubbed the Blue Knights. He and the other men of the Knights squadron got a hurry-up call to speed to Viet Nam from George AFB after two MIGs shot down two U.S F106 Thunderchief fighter-bomb ers early in April.

MELORICH BUILDERS 754 E. Base Line TU 9-0408 County supervisors, overriding the recommendation of the County Planning Commission, unanimously approved yesterday three sites for five billboards on the Barstow Freeway in the south Victorville area The new signs will be erected by United Outdoor Advertising Co. south of Bear Valley Road. A week ago, supervisors rejected efforts by Valley Outdoor Advertising Co. to legalize three billboards along the freeway in the west Hesperia area.

The Valley Outdoor signs, however, are not likely to come down before the case goes through the courts. United Outdoor sought approval on the basis of an ordinance which permits billboards across the freeway from business structures, provided that different conditions do not exist. "It's purely and simply a matter of judgment," Planning Director Neil B. Pfulb advised supervisors. 1965 (CITY PAGE) May Joi Battle tion control regulations may be declared unconstitutional if the oil and gas association's complaint is upheld.

Chairman Ross Dana said, "We're in this project up to our necks now to keep our air clean." Western Oil contends no significant decrease in air pollution results from using natural gas. But Los Angeles smog officials say the rules have resulted in a substantial reduction in sulphur dioxide contamination. If the 1947 state law establishing the pollution control district is found to be unconstitutional, officials say no effective regulatory smog legislation will exist. "In my judgment," said Chairman Ross Dana, "I feel this is logical if we're going to have billboards permitted under the ordinance." Supervisor Paul J. Young said he could support Dana's position.

The other three supervisors did not state their positions but voted in favor of ap proval. When it considered the re quest, the Planning Commission decided that motorists would rather look at the desert scenery and mountains rather than billboards. "Your decision will set a pattern," Pfulb had told commissioners. Reviewing the commission's position, Dana said, "The planners said you might not be able to see (Mt.) Baldy, but as soon as you get by them (billboards), you could see Baldy." There was little discussion on the subject yesterday since the matter had been aired at a couple of previous meetings. with apartment and hotel inspections.

Dr. Merle E. Cosand, county health officer, has proposed a fee of 75 cents per unit, with a minimum charge of $7.50 for each establishment. He estimated the fees would bring in about $33,000 a year. Dr.

Cosand also proposed a $10 fee for an occupancy certificate, which would only be required once for each establishment. The apartment owners said there is no need for inspections. LeMoyne S. Badger of Riverside, a director and attorney of the Apartment Association of the Inland Empire, said: "The market imposes a more severe discipline on the owners than any other discipline could impose. We have had a very serious slump in apartment house rentals.

It is not uncommon to have a 50 or 60 per cent vacancy, because of overbuilding." Badger said complaints by tenants are a "self-provided inspection service." Inspections were not made by the state, Badger said. The (Continued on 5, Column 3) nor holding of sacrificial rites would bring moisture to cool parched tongues and dampen the thirsty earth. The only thing dampened was the sor cerer's spirit. Little by little, however, man began developing instruments that could measure the magnitude of forces involved in the weather's makeup. In 1875 came the discovery of nuclei of condensation.

And later, studies revealed that clouds are made up of minute droplets of water condensed on nearly invisible particles of dust. More important was the later discovery of the coexistence in large cumulus clouds of ice crystals. These are supercooled droplets of water vapor in a state of supersaturation. It was found that if an ice crystal is introduced into a su percooled cloud, water vapor transferred from water drops to the crystal. The crystal would grow and then fall as rain, snow or sleet.

In 1946, the principle of weather modification by artificial nu- cleation that's cloudseeding was discovered. For a time, Bacon said, it was done as a novelty.

Their trials were expensive, costing about $35,000 a year, compared to $7,000 by present methods. Bacon's equipment includes a radar station atop Big Bear. It formerly was stationed atop Box Springs Mountain near March Air Force Base. Another radar station is north of Sunnymead. A new teletype machine kept in Bacon's office at district headquarters, 355 helps him keep close watch on the whole weather picture as he keeps constantly on the alert for even a hint of a storm.

Most important part of the equipment is ground stationed generators. They're the ones that do the work, make it rain, at Bacon's order. Fourteen generators are stationed throughout the target area which is the Upper Santa Ana River watershed. They are in residential back yards, including Bacon's, and at fire stations. The generating equipment consists of old oil or grease drums topped with a chimney.

Fuel supplies of propane are in 100-pound tanks, and silver iodine solution in 10-gallon tanks is enough for 40 hours of operation. Every day, Bacon checks the weather reports. When a storm is approaching, radar can detect it over a maximum range of 200 miles. Forecasts are received four times a day, along with data on upper air. "You know that when a storm is passing you should be prepared to lose a night's sleep," says Bacon.

Forty hours is ample time to feed a storm, he said. The rad ar tells the height and direction of a cloud movement, showing the wet cells in a passing storm.
