ery night and day. Farmers are
getting ready to take steps to round-
up all dogs that are still running
wild and playing havoc with the
sheep left in this section.
W. E. (Tag) Miller, living in the
Edwards Community, has received
the biggest loss, having lost ap-
proximately 5 0 this fall and summer.

the Lucas farm, 6 on the John Law-
rence farm 14 ewes on the White-
hurst farm just the past few weeks,

Capt. Willis brought the local boys
some very valuable information on
‘Fire From The Sky’, caused by In-
cendiary ‘Magnesium Alloy Bombs’
consisting of a cylindrical case two
inches in diameter and nine inches
long, made of magnesium alloy.
Metal fins are provided on one end
to steady the bomb in f li g h t and
cause it to strike on its nose. Upon
impact, an ignition device inside the
bomb is actuated, thus firing the
starting mixture, which burns with
sufficient heat to ignite the casing.
The bomb weighs about two and one-
half pounds and will burn for 15 to
2 0 minutes. The intense heat of ap-
proximately 5,000 degrees Fahren-
heit of a burning bomb will tend to
prevent anyone approaching it close-
ly due to the starting mixture sput-
tering and throwing out a mass of
j sparks for some distance. Capt.
| Willis said there was no known way
of extinguishing fhe bomb but the
j safest way to fight it was to control
the fire around the bomb and apply
