Man Used 10 BOMBING
Runs, While Amateur
Is Afraid 10 Show Fear
After the First Time
He Realizes Nobody
Is Watching Him Anywuy
By WILLIAM L. WHITE.


SOMEWHERE IN FINLAND (By
AirmaiD This is q little note on
the subject of being bombed, writ
ten by one who was never bombed
until q few days ago, and has since
been bombed steadily and without
any regular interruptions for meals.
The note is compiled for the in
formation of people who have not
yet been bombed, and hope never
to be. x
I can say to them that the worst
time of all is just before you are
bombed for the first time, and know
you are going to be. This Is not fun.
First you hear them way OF, then
you hear them closer, then you see
them and also see that they are
coming straight for you, and any
direction you run in can make no
difference at all because they are
coming about 200 miles an hour and
you cannot know whether to run to
right or left. So you stay where
you are, looking up.
Then, just in case you were not
already little scared, the sirens
begin q terrific bowling, sounding
like q covey of banshees being
strangled by herd of gorillas, and
not liking this at all, and neither do
you.
Actual Thing Not So Bad.
When the actual bombing begins
It Is not bad. There is only a good
deal Of noise, and you get interested
in trying to see the bombs coming
down, forgetting that the planes are
50 high and tiny that you could
never hope to see anything so small
as bomb until it got much closer,
and then 1t would be travelling so
fast you could not see it.
Now as for taking cover, your own
instincts on that point are not bad,
and these tell you that it is not good
to be in buildings which can fall in
on you, nor is it good to be out in
an open plain, but the best place Of
all is some shallow declivity where
you can lie down and yet be pro-
tected on the sides.
When you have picked your place
you walk to it slowly, and with q
casual smile on your face. for fear
that people who have been bombed
often will think you are afraid, but
this is only the first time, because
after that you understand that the
people who have been bombed be-
fore do not care If you are afraid
or not, or stop to notice that you
are casually smiling. So after that
you feel free to run if you want to,
if there is any sense in 1t, which
usually there is not.
It's Fun After That.
The next few times you are
bombed are definitely fun, because
you are sure now that you are not
afraid, and there is no danger that
you will make a fool of yourself,
and the spectacle of what happens
during a bombing-the noise and
the people running-is exciting.
incidentally these people who run
are usually women who have never
been bombed before, or else they
are people who have been very close
to q bomb which exploded, and
maybe helped carry away things
under blankets afterward, and so
understand from f1rst-hand expert
ence how good the reasons for run
ming smetimes can be.
But after these first few times,
being bombed settles down to being
q routine nuisance, in which you
are no longer excited, but hate the
noise Of the sirens because they

So this is what happens when
you are bombed, as nearly as !. can
tell 1t. It is not nice, but If you
think that you would be terribly
afraid, you had better come over
here and get bombed for . while,
because you would be relieved to
find that you are not.

for several inches. I held onto the
handle. I had my hands full for 10
minutes. The gator was hurt, scared

when Paris was badly threatened
during the world war. she had TO

of the state school commission.
Transportation is always an Impor-
tant item in war. You've got 10 trans

short notice sometimes.
Fleet of 1890.
"Sincc North Carolina has Statc-
owned fleet Of 1890 school buses
capable OF Carrying 40 men To the
bus, an army Of 100000 could be
transported to any given point with
only few hours notice necessary 10
assemble the buses"
In addition. North Cardinals buses
could accompany Il troop tram with
2l2 service trucks, carrying gas,
spare parts. and I'll tools necessary
for minor repairs"
The North Carolina system would
be peculiarly adapted 10 The wartime
task Of transporting troops. Griffin
said. because il is the only StatC-oWn-
ed and operated school bus Sct-up
in the country. Centralized control
would enable its mobilization ON
short notice.
While few states operated more
"vchicles' than North Carolina. none
operates more buses and none can
approach the 328.24l school children
the state transported to and from its
schools last year.
The 4.538 buses in regular service
last year Travelled 24,085,l70 miles on
$4,000 miles of bus routes. Next year
the state will operate 1890 buses.
These, with 300 spare" vehicles
ready rOr use in case of major break
downs, give total fleet of 1890.
Cost Is Low.
"North Carolina not only trans
ports more children To the schools

any other state Griffin said, but
carries on this phase Of school ac-
tivity at much less average an
nual cost for each child transported"
Last year, he pointed out total
cost of the system was S2,294,332 .88
Or about $500 per pupil. The fig
ure compares with the national aver
age Of about $40 per pupil.
Besides being both mammoth and
economical, the states bus system
has an enviable safety record. In the
! seven years Of state operation, there
have been but 10 fatalities, and there
have been none since November,
1888
This safety record has been mark
ed up despite the fact that most of
the drivers arc high school students.
In time of emergency, when all
able-bodicd men are needed else
where, the high school boys could
drive troops to the front just as easily
as they now drive school children.

situated, too, especially with 4 view
to dealing with the japanese, as they
grow increasingly rambunCtious IN

Hence London's offer OF virtual
independence to the Indians, on con-

with both the Occidental and Orlen-
tai relationships.
Will the Indians accept, however?
They want independence alright but
how will they feel about plunging
into war on Britain's terms?

From all Washington can discover,
the Indians answer to Londons APP
peal is up to Mahatma Gandhl, his
country's combined patron saint and
political leader.
! And Mr.. Gandhi is d puzzle to any
Occidental. ;.
He's neutrality-suspicious. for India
and, in his way, he's fiercely bel
lieerent. But his idea of bclligerency
is civil disobedience" or passive
resistance"
Now, the kind of belligerency that
britain wants at present isn't the
passive" kind. -,
Well, in today's emergency, will
Mr.. Gandhi indorse something
uglier?
He's an adept"
Plenty of people assume that Ma
hatma is MIR. Gandhi's first name.
It's nothing of the sort. It's 4 de-
signation somewhat comparable to
"the Reverend or "DOctor"-of di-
vinity. His real name is Mohandas *

Mr., Gandhi is q TheosophSt-

MIR. Gandhi is the top ranking ma
