WILLOW VALLEY, _NEWTOWN, INDIAN F DG 33rd Year, ‘No. . 34. The mountain resort town of Tahoe City sits on the edge of; one of the biggest ready-made reservoirs im the world, but a state commission lists the area as water deficient. Some lakeshore residents can not see why that should be, with the 122,000,000 acre feet of water in Lake Tahoe at their doorsteps, but few deny the water problems exist. Tahoe. is a natural lake, but a dam built in the. 1870s controls the flow to. downstream points and the level: of the lake: The lake is operated almost exclusively for the benefit of ~ those’ downstream users. This, plus confusion about’ the water rights.of those who live on the lake, has ted to a shortage. Lake Tahoe has a sewage disposal problem .-which grows as fast as the booming population— expected to réadh 200,000 ultimately—and a Shortage of water for domestic use: A federal court-drder gives the government permission. to. maintain the lake level at between elevations “of 6,223.~and. 6,229.1 feet. This six feet of water srovilles storage of abgut 720,000 acre feet of water and also some knotty problems. If the level falls too low, beaches and boat facilities are hutt. If too high, property damage and sewage problems result. The Army Engineers estimate ,.damage at $200,000 in 1951 when the level approached. the maximum, California delegates toa joint!

On active duty with both Air Defense Command and Tactical Air Command, the F-104 is popularly known as the “missile with aman in it’? because of its missilelike configuration and speed. It holds the world speed record of 1,404.09 miles per hour, plus the world altitude mark of 91,249 feet, which is _on the fringe of outer space. The Lockheed-built Starfighter ‘ean climb as fast as it can fly, a unique ability for an airplane. Recently, both Canada and West Germany purchased the F-104 for their air forces. The,short, razor-edged wings of the supersonic interceptor are so sharp they must be covered to prevent injuries to maintenance crews working around. the plane on the ground. For the same reason, the F-104 from McClean Air Force Base will be fenced off to protect fairgoers. Near the F-104 in the outdoor Armed Forces’ exhibit area will be a special mock-up ofa n F-100 Super Sabre fighter-bomber with movable controls.
