In a late September adventure
Mark Lester, a 12-year-old
Shelton boy scout, performed a
service which earned for him the
appreciation of McChord Air

on the opposite bank who
dropped an object as he walked
away.

When Mark had negotiated
the crossing of the river, he found
a metal box which was at last
opened with his father's help.
Inside was a pack for transporting
a radio on a person's back. Mark
took it to his home.
While Mark was receiving a
haircut a few days later in
Rainier, the barber spoke of radio
equipment stolen from an Air
Force jeep while personnel were
eating in a restaurant. Mark
relayed the informatl~rt to his
stepmother with whose assistance
more information was acquired
and the FBI was notified. A
sheriff accompanied Mark to
retrieve the metal box, which was
returned to the Air Force.

bridge surfaces will withstand
corroding agents to be found in
de-icing salts and seawater.
Dr. Clifton, a National Board
of Standards research chemist, has
discovered that powder epoxies
are preferable to liquid epoxies,
and may best be applied with an
electrostatic spray gun which
produces a quick and even
coating.
Bridges constructed with
epoxy coated bars should remain
free of problems connected with
corrosion of steel. The epoxy
coating is considered for use in
parking garages, concrete
structures in salt-water
environments, offshore drilling
facilities and nuclear reactors.
Dr. James Clifton, born and
reared in Shelton, lives in
Wheaten, Maryland with his wife,
Eva, and six-year-old son,
Michael.
