KERN VALLEY MOURNS JACK EWING'S DEATH


1


Memorial services will be held ca Friday, January 11 at 1 p.m. in the Hollywood Chapel of the Plerce Brothers Mortuary for Jack Ewing, 80, who died on January & at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital. The services will be followed by a private inurnment. A beloved mem- ber of the Kern Valley, Ewing was bora in Illinois on December 18, 1893 and had lived in the state for 50 years. He is survived by two daughters, Agnes Moziek and Jean Salais of Los Angeles and an adopted daughter, Ruth Shaw of Wofford Heights.


By Ardis Walker


Jack Ewing came to Kern County as i once-retired naval officer to initiate the construction of a huge China Lake Naval Ordinance Test Station, now the Naval Weapons Center, during the Second World War. He could have been called its first commanding officer because his special genius for getting things done cleared the way for the captains and admirals and scientists who followed in his wake.


And those same captains and admir- als would be the first to grant him that distinction because they knew he had won graduation from the "can-do" school of naval chiefs who pioneered the groundwork for operations in two world wars.


He arrived in the Indian Wells Valley when it showed only remnants of a defunct desert agricultural boom created shortly after the First World War and when only two straggling wayside stations, Inyokern and Crumville, now the modern city of Ridgecrest, existed in the area.


The story of his desert naval service would rival the intrigue of any modern suspense novel. While pioneering the intlal facilities of the base he was able to sidestep normal directives and procedures that would have imposed impossible barriers to flag officers firmly frozen in regulations eminating from Washington.


After serving under Captains Sherman E. Burroughs and James Sykes, first commanders of the base, he resigned from the Navy for a


second tine to invest in Ewings Restaurant adjacent to the station. His earlier experience as a San Diego restauranteur enabled him to create an outstanding dining establishment which helped to lift the surrounding community out of the crude, frontier atmosphere into which the war-time emergencies had literally dumped it.


This change of careers did not dampen his impelling interest in community affairs. At that time the off-station community consisted lar- gely of disorganized trailer commun- itles clustered at various points of access to the base. As a result hundreds of children were caught in desert sluns which erupted without planning because of the war-time urgency to lure workers to the area. To meet the recreational needs of these children, Jack Ewing organized a group which sponsored a serles of rodeos to raise the funds which opened the Nine Mile Canyon Road to safe travel and established a summer camp in Kennedy Meadows for these unfortunate children.


Not long after his retirement from business in Ridgecrest and his return to San Diego he suffered a massive stroke which left him an invalid. Then he purchased the Jack Crawford home at the Fay Ranch opposite the South Fork Valley town of Weldon where he regained his mobility and most of his health.


The sight of the newly relocated town of Kernville above Lake Isabella excited his suspended drive. He suddenly announced to friends, "I've got to get active again!"


Although he always maintained that he was five years in advance of good planning, be built Ewings-on-the- Kern. At the time this came as a God-send to people of the Kern River Valley because it met a serlous need for a top dining facility in the area.


Jack and his wife, Vera, developed their new business and Jack voiced the need to develop recreational facilities to augment the natural attractions of the Valley.


Thus he was impelled to organize a group to promote and build the Kern River Valley Golf Course. Later he was guest of honor when members of the golf club dedicated a bronze plaque to him as the leading spirit in bringing the project to fruition.


In the final analysis, Jack Ewing was a single-minded man who made enemies in his pursuit of political and social objectives. He also made friends; thousands of them. Those close to hiin were constantly amazed at the wide range of his acquaintances and of those he could call friend. He will be missed in the inost remote eddies and well as the highroads of the
