(Continued from last week)
Shortly before midnight of the
following day, we left for Johnston
Island, 743 miles distant, and Just
a pinpoint in the ocean. The act-
ual area of the Pacific Ocean is
tremendous. As Admiral Chester
Nimitz remarked recently — "If
there's any place in the world realy
bigger than Texas, it must be the
Pacific,"—and it's more than am-
azing how a navlgaton can lead
you to such a tiny pinpoint of
coral and soil in such a vast ex-
panse of water. Each man aboard
of course was equiped with • life
preserver and a parachute. In ad-
dition, in case of a forced landing
in the water, we had a rubber life
raft and had been briefed as to just
what to do in case. Needless to say,
none of us had any burning desier
to be compelled to use these de-
vices as Captain Eddie Ricken-
backer and a number of others
had used them.
After an hour or so at John-
ston, we left about 5 A. M. for
Kwajalein but in the meantime
had picked up a full day because
we had crossed the International
Date Line. From Johnston to Kwa-
jalein was something over 1600
miles or about an eight hour trip.

i base for the Bikini Bomb opera-
| tions. The Bikini lagoon is ap-
! proximately 230 miles from Kwa-
! jalein and in approaching Kwa-
jalien we radioed ahead for per-
mission to fly over the target
ships.
You have read enough descrip-
tions of Bikini to Justify my not
describing it here but the ships
themselves impressed us as ghost
ships. They were dispersed gener-
ally throughout the lagoon and
deserted of all people except a
few that were doing some last
minute checking. This was on June
30 and the next day was July 1
or "Abie Day" which was the
scheduled date for the test to de-
termine the effect of an atomic
tomb in naval warfare as disting-
uished from land warfare. We cir-
culed the lagoon several times and
then flew in at about 200 feet to
<tt a closer view and then on
into Kwajalein. There are lots of
rain squalls in that area during
the monsoon-typhoon season and
we hit one when we came in. We
were ordered to circle for about
three-quarters of an hour because
the landing field was being drenched
with rain. After landing, we learn-
ed the atomic bomb was already
there and about 75 yards from
where we landed, which was the
reason for the precaution. The
authorities were taking no chances
that a skidding plane might skid
the wrong way and naturally we
were all in accord with such pre-
caution. None of us had any idea
of interfering with the regular
scheduled operation because we un-
derstand those bombs are rather
limited at the present time.
The question on everyone's lips
was "What kind of weather will
we have tomorrow?" While it was
cloudy and rainy that night, the
weather experts predicted the tar-
get would be clear for July 1. The
bomb was scheduled to be dropped
at 8:30 next morning and we were
roused at 3:30, although takeoff
time wasn't scheduled until about
7:30.
After a hasty breakfast and
steaming black coffee, we were at
the landing strip and watching the
B-29 ships engaged in the opera-
tion take off. "Dave's Dream," the
ship carrying the atomic bomb,
was last to take off and we fol-
j lowed it by about 10 minutes in
another airplane. I might add that
as a further precautionary mer-
sure the officials had evacuated
all military and naval personei to
adjacent islands just in case of an
accident. A special ramp had been
built for Installation of the bomb
and most of the activity across the
landing strip was hidden by an
Army tent and no |)er.sonel except
those actually engaged in the op-
eration were permitted to go near,
which gives an idea Just how close-
ly the atomic bomb secrets are
being kept.

tomlc Bomb "Operation Cross-

Clippings from
THE DALHART TEXAN:
Most of us would be more careful
to hold our tempers and less likely
to say and do the things that a-
rouse the other fellow If we could
experience the same thing the fel-
low writing in Reader's Digest did.
Through special machinery he
watched the workings of a cat as
it slept qnd then observed the
"juices" of the body start flowing
rapidly when a record was played
of a barking dog. It gives clear
impression of what takes place in
the human body when the mind
becomes disturbed, when fear come,
and particularly when we are an-
gered.
Doctors have long known that
the person quick to anger is the
one most likely to die of heart
failure, have stomach ulcers, in-
women they can release most of
digestion, etc. Fortunately for most
their pent up emotions through
tears but so many men won't cry,
or can't cry. Man will let his e-
motion ruin his appetite, spoil his
work, keep him wide awake, ruin
his health, and we call it "nerves".
Smart indeed is the person who
can control their emotions. Igno-
rant is the person who lets them
smolter and grow, thinking all the
time of himself and making a
mountain of a molehill in his own
mind.

THF. CANYON NEWS
"We are told by Washington that
there will be no depresion after
this war. but how are they going to
stop it?" asked a very intelligent
business man the other ■ day. We
have been wondering about this
thing. We do not profess to be
smart. The present huge national
debt must be met; foreign nations
are bankrupt, and we shall have to
lend them the money for the pur-
pose of buying goods. Just how we
can keep this from causing a de-
presion is over our heads. If de-
pression is to be avoided all econo-
mic laws that the layman knows
anything about will be smashed.
As a precaution, the only sane
thing to do is proceed with caution,
and not let inflationary prices
cause jou to start on a buying
spree of things which you do not
need. The fellow who keeps in the
clear will be the one who can
weather the coming storm—if there
is a coming storm.

THE CANADIAN RECORD;
While we're ranting about driv-
ing, we might also add that almost
every car on the road, except the
few new ones, has something wrong
with it which the competent Can-
adian machanics could fix. Bad
lights, faulty wheel balances, horns
on a term?
A. Yes.
Q- Must a veteran put any of hie
own money into a business, a home,
or a farm in order to get tho
guaranty?
A. tfo. this is not a requirement
for guaranty or insurance. It is
a question which is settled with
the lender. The only bearin j it
has on the guaranty or insurance
of a loan is that in the case of a
farm or a business It may affect
the UUihood of the veteran's suc-
cess in the venture.
Q. May loan to buy an auto-
mobile or truck be guaranteed or
Insured?
A. Yes, but only if the automo-
bile or truck Is necessary to the
conduct of the veteran's own busi-
ness or farming operation, or the
conditions of his employment re-
quire that he have such a vehicle
for use in carrying on his work
but not merely for transportation.
SEVENTY ONE YEAR OLD CO-
ED BELIEVES IN CAMPUS
COURTING
Denton, Texas—Still spry, and
pointing no finger of reproach at
co-ed courtin', humorous 71-year-
old Louise Durham of Mena, Ark.,
has returned to the campus of
North Texas State College as a
student for the first time since
1904.
Returning after 42 years away
from the college, Miss. Durham is
fulfilling requirements in educa-
tion at the college this summer.
Admiting at even at her age
she still wants a pair of pillow
qases embroidered with "his and
hers," Miss. Durham audibly won-
ders if she should have observed
an advertisement read during her
earlier college days which warned
that 'charm, vivacity, allure, and
poise" could be lost by wearing
ill-fitting shoes.
Back to school once more after
years of teaching in Mena, where
they annually celebrate a "Louise
Durham Day," the broadminded
"school-marm" considers that the
campus co-ed of today dresses
"much more sensibly in many
ways, more comfortably and more
appealinjly," and admits that "had
the styles been this way years
ago, I might not still be a Miss."
I
Non Repetat
The customer asked to have her prescription refill-
ed. But as the pharmacist looked up the prescription in
his file, he found that the physician had marked it "non
repetat"-do not repeat. The pharmacist didn't refill
this prescription.
It is the pharmacist's business to fill prescriptions
and usually he will gladly refill them, but there are
certain instances where ethics or the law do not allow
him to do so. One of these is the prescription marked
"non repetat". The physician here specifically indica-
tes that he wishes the patient to take only the quantity
of medicine originally prescribed.
The pharmacist will carry out this instruction just
as painstakingly as he does any other contained in the
prescription. By so doing, he is acting in the interest of
your safety and your, health.

pasture on his 97-acre dairv and
poultry farm, said he is a firm
believer in top dressing for grazing
land.
"Every year we spread about
two tons of 20 per cent super-
phosphate on our pasture," he
pointed out. "That is enough to
cover aproximately 10 acres, in
addition, all our poultry manure
is spread on the pastures."
Commenting on the mowing of
pastures, Mr. Hajny declared:
"I feel it is a very important
operation in a pasture improvement
program. By clipping the pastures,
weeds can be controled and wild
white clover comes in better."

Veteran Questions. . .
Q. May a veteran pay off a
guaranteed loan before it Is due?
A. Yes, the regulations give the
veteran that right.
Q. Can a guaranty be obtained
if the proceeds are to be used by
a minor or person under legal dis-
ability?
A. This can be done only if the
loan and liens are valid under the
state law governing the transaction.
Many states have enacted statutes
removing disability of veterans and
for the wives of veterans who are
minors to enable them to make
such loans,
Q. May widows or children of
deceased veterans obtain guaranty
of loan?
A. No. The privilege is limited to
veterans. A guaranty on a loan
may continue, however, after the
veteran's death.
Q Are veterans of World War I
eligible for benefits under the Act?
A. No. Its benefits are for World
War II veterans only.
Q. If a loan is for farming pur-
poses, must the veteran live on the
farm?
A. No, but the Act requires that
he actually conduct the farming
operations.
Q. Is there any limit on the
size of the loan?
A. No. The limit Is not the a-
mount which may be guaranteed
or insured.
Q. May funds from ■ guaranteed
loan be used to pay operating ex-
All of the major nations are car-
rying on extensive experiments with
"bigger and better" tools of slaugh-
ter. Pilotless airplanes—rockets
which arc an "improvement" on
the horribly destructive German
V-2 type—guns which fire streams
of molten lead Instead of bullets
—electrically guided bombs of un-
imaginable force—these are but a
few of the hideous weapons now
in laboratories or proving grounds.
Topping them all, of course, is
the atom bomb. According to
authorities, the bombs so far ex-
ploded have developed only a mi-
croscopic percentage of their po-
tential destructive force. Compared
to the bombs of tomorrow, they
are like a firecracker beside a
stick of TNT. And no scientist
believes that atomic bomb con-
struction and development can long
remain the secret of one country.
No nation has a monopoly on
scientific knowledge and intelli-
gence.
Here is the greatest of all argu-
ments for international understand-
ings, international tolerance, fair
International give and take in
the interest of a permanent peace.
So long as mistrust runs rampant
through the world, all the great,
powers will seek new and even
more terrible weapons. And every
arms race in history ended in war.
The issue is a simple one—we
will have life or we will have death.
We will build a better world or
we will destroy it utterly. We will
have peace between nations or we
will have no nations at all. Today
all mankind faces the greatest pro-
blem It has ever known.
the Cook County Council of the
American Legion as an un-Ameri-
can organization which is contrary
to the principles and rights grant- j
ed all citizens by the Constitution |
of the United States. The council
represents 383 American Legion
posts in Cook County with a 1946
membership of 84.352. The anti-;
Klan resolution was adopted un- j
animously.
GEORGE VI IN WHO'S WHO'
Publishers of "Who's Who" re-
vealed recently that King George
VI of England had hit a niche in
America that none of his predeces-
sors achieved. His name appears
in the new 1946-47 volume—the
first British monarch ever to be
the subject of a word sketch in
the big red reference book.
His name is among the 8,919
newcomers in the largest issue of
the book since it was first pub-
lished in 1899.He takes his place
with such "freshmen" as Mar-
garete O'Brien, nine-year-old movie
actress, and Bill Mauldln, creator
of the G. I. Joe cartoons.
Another first this year is the
inclusion of a husband and wife in
separate biographies. The couple
are Mr. and Mrs. Harry James-
she's Betty Cirable, you know.
Thomas J. Watson, president °f
International Business Machines,
still rates the longest biography,
adding seven lines to the 148 un-
der his name last year.
