Good Conduct Medals Awarded en and Headquarters Dugway Proving Ground has recently been declared a restricted area, in accordance with die provisions of a directive issued by die Secretary of Defense on August 20, 1954. The directive was authorized by the Security Act of 1950. The classification of Dugway as a restricted area is a legal designation; thus, legal action may be taken in the event of security violations. While this declaration is implemented by the Security Division on Monday, August 15, the Ditto Technical Center security guard gate will be closed and the security guards will be reassigned to the main guard gate. THE PURPOSE of die declaration and the resulting physical security measures is to improve personnel control at Dugway, with special emphasis on the test areas.

Oc-tolw- Lightning Hits Electric Poles Many Dugway residents were without lights from 7 p.m. on August 2nd until 3:15 the next morning when lightning struck two electric poles. The poles were located between Clover and Johnson Pass and the lightning shattered several insulators, thereby cutting off the power to the installation. Post facilities personnel were able to partially restore electrical power shortly after 8 pm. through the use of an emergency generator. The generator provided power to essential facilities on die post. Facilities Chief, Major Melvin Wohlman, stated that the emergency generator also provided power to the Fries Park trailer court area and the new NCO housing area because these zones are located on the line which runs from Ditto area to certain areas of English Village. However, die line does not extend to the other housing areas in English Village and these residents were without electricity until the power was restored by Utah Power and Light crews. |
