Becomes Land of Magic COURIER-POST, Camden, N. Monday, March 6, 1961 (UPI)-America will send its first man his jumping-off place--a one-time shaped into a showcase of the heart, soul and nerve-center "shooting gallery" from world's largest rockets are were set up and Cape Canaveral was in business. Its start was slow. On July 24, 1950, an odd concoction of German V-2 and WAC Corporal was fired from a make-shift launching pad in a stretch of land cut from the wilderness and cleared of snakes and bushes.

The cape remained comparatively unknown, testing now-obsolete weapons such Lark and Navaho, while missilemen tamed the land. Then came the first Russian Sputnik, Oct. 4, 1957, and the eyes of the world looked to Canaveral for a U.S. answer. The reply was slow and humiliating.

The overtaxed Vanguard rocket blew up on its launching pad in December, and it wasn't until Jan. 31, 1958, that an Army team headed by Wehrner Von Braun put the United States in the space age by orbiting Explorer I aboard a Jupiter-C rocket. During the three years since, volumes for history books of space have been written here. An intercontinental ballistic missile named Atlas was made warready, along with shorter-range weapons such as Thor and Jupiter, and the famed submarinelaunched rocket, Polaris. Heavy ICBM gantries now line the cape's north coast.

Gigantic service towers for rockets of the future, Saturn, and Centaur, jut into the And land already is being held in reserve for machines that will be five times as powerful as the best Russia has today. MRS. JULIA E. HOMEYER HEDDING-Mrs. Julia Homeyer, 68, of Old York died Saturday.

The cape is a modern land of magic which bridged the gap from an obscure past to a fantastic future without ever having stopped for the present. Less than two decades ago, the cape was considered hardly fit for human habitation. The palmettocovered sandspit, halfway between Miami and Jacksonville.

was viewed as a triangular wart on the otherwise smooth face of Florida's burgeoning East Coast. When military went shopping in 1946 for a place to test guided missiles, it seemed that a more place than Cape Canaveral hardly be imag. unlikely, ined. The place was almost inaccessible, neglected, swampy, snake and mosquito -infested. "Desolate" was the word.

Isolation Seen Value But the military, seeking a maximum of security and secrecy, saw it in a different light. Inaccessibility was a virtue, and ingenuity could overcome the disadvantage of the cape's being cut off from mainland Florida by two rivers, the Banana and Indian, and a wide stretch of land. There were two other advantages-the location of a facility known as the Banana River Naval Air Station about 19 miles to the south, and the chain of extending into the South Atlantic, ideal for the location of tracking stations. The joint long-range proving ground, later to become the Atlantic missile range, established, the naval station was, became Patrick Air Force Base, the first of 13 downrange tracking stations Lower but it's EVERY INCH AN OLDS!
