Town Through Mistake
Disposes of Its Park

ADA. OKLA. - Walter Brooks
didn't buy the Empire State build
ing or the Brooklyn bridge, but he
might have just as well, because he
won't get to keep the 10 acres of city
park that he bought near Rolf either.
Brooks wanted 10 acres of ground
near Rolf and chose the property
from a tax resale list. After bid
ding for the 10 acres, he went to the
location of the property and found
that he had bought Roff's city park.
Through mistake that hasn't
been accounted for yet, the park
property had been listed on the tax
rolls.
So Brooks will get his money back
and Rolf will keep its park.

Air Defense of
Britain Shown
Intense Activity on Part of
Anti-Aircraft Units
Never Slackens.

LONDON.-Behind each formal
statement announcing that another
German bomber has been destroyed
lies story of intense but ordered
activity by anti-aircraft units, says
the British air ministry.
First comes the message, brief
and to the point:
Enemy aircraft approaching at
position x. Height $4,000 feet.
Warn all batteries in area"
Within 80 seconds the anti-aircraft
crews are at their allotted stations,
IN lonely fields, by quiet country
lanes, among the rough bents OF a
coastline which at first sight might
seem deserted.
Guns are loaded. Quick-iring
Bofors are ready to load the sky
with menace.
Beams Stab Sky.
The gunlayers swing their long
barrels into the darkness. It is q
clear night, with little cloud to give
refuge to the enemy.
AS yet there is no sound, only the
silence of waiting.
Suddenly a searchlight shoots q
pencil of light into the sky. An
other thin beam appears toward the
west, then another, and another.
Soon a dozen searchlights are CROP
ing into the blacness above. From
far up in the silent sky, faint but
unmistakable, comes the sound OF
engines.
In the beams of the searchlights
q speck is seen flying toward the
east.
The enemy is held"
Nearby is a predictor. It is ready
now to play its part. It's complicat-
ed collection of knobs, lenses and
dials can do the work Of four men,
telling the gunners where to direct
their fire.
Plane Is Downed.
Dramatically, without warning,
firing levers are rammed over, there
is a reverberating boom and shell
leaps into the air, to explode with
an orange fash thousands Of feet
in the darkness above. Another gun
takes up the challenge, and another
and another. The noise is deafen-
ing.
The invading aircraft, still held by
the searchlights, is flying toward
the east, orange-white flashes in its
wake. Guns still boom, although the
sounds of the exploding shells are
now more distant. Strange falling
lights are seen in the sky.
Again there is silence. But this
time they are waiting for the news
which may tell of success.
A telephone speaks.
AN aircraft, believed a Heinkcl
Ill. reported down in flames in a
wood about IL miles from position
x. Looks like one of your batteries.
Good show!'
