Some Permanent Employees Here Monday 31 issiles, Alis.siles Tooele Ordnance Depot Commander, Col. Cecil M. MacGregor, displays models of missiles that TOD could become involved with as a missile depot. Left is the Pershing surface to surface missile, one of which was fired only yesterday at Cape Canaveral. Right is the three stage Niki Zeus which is an anti missile. Center is a colored picture just received by the Col., of Commander Alan B. Shepard Jr. being blasted off for his ride into space. A redstonc missile was used for this successful space try. MacGregor, this arrangement will benefit Tooele since most of the missiles being trucked in from west coast missile sites will go into TOD through pates along the Tooele - Grantsville road, thus keeping much of this traffic from passing through Tooele City, hq said. Of the thirty - two member task force at the ordnance depot, approximately 13 (most of whom are from the Benicia Arsenal Mt. Rainier area) are expected to transfer to TOD permanently. These prospective residents met at a Wednesday luncheon with Tooele County Chamber of Commerce officials and the housing committee set up by the Chamber. Satisfaction was expressed with the community and housing facilities although it is expected that rentals units will be in great demand. Most of the group said that if they trans-fere- d they would prefer living in Tooele rather than commuting from Salt Lake Valley. Col. MacGregor, According to some of the experts will be leaving in a few day while others will remain for as long as 6 weeks. The entire group is on temporary duty at TOD and those who might move here will still return to their regular duty stations before permanent transfer. Two more teams of experts arc expected at the depot this month the first being a crew for the organization and operation of maintenance shops (expected to arrive July 24); and the second a team of engineers Coming July 31 who will work out the layout of shops, the flow of work etc. Additional pictures on back page A full day of activities has been planned for Tooele High school class of 1946 which will hold a 15 year reunion here Saturday July 22.
