Junior College
Adds New Glasses

New courses will be added at
Central Junior college to assist in
preparing men and women to enter
military service or defense work,
Dean Glenn Kieffer announced
Thursday.
Since mathematics is the basis
of all the engineering and scienti-
fic training Dean Kicffer said,
we decided to add courses which
will help those who have had Moth
ing along this line but high school
algebra and geometry.
We added a class Of, intermedi-
ate algebra in Junior college which
will be the equivalent of a full
years course in high school algebra
2 but it will be completed in half
a year. This will prepare those who
enroll for the advanced courses
they must take. This will enable
high school and Junior college STU
dents to start college mathematics
and go on into trigonometry and
into the more advanced work
A class in physiology was added
for Junior college students and
work is needed by persons inter
CSted in first aid. This class will
meet in the junior college Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays from
l2:45 pm. to LAS pm. Gerald E.
will teach the class Anyone in
Dennerlein, Junior college coach,
terested may communicate with
Dean Kieffer.

OCD Is Wary

The quite obvious speed up of civilian defense preparations also suggests the probability the mill tary has passed the word to OCD bosses that the liklihood of bomber attacks increases as U. s. production gOrges upward. The possibility of plane attack on the southern Pacific coast airplane plants and industrial areas also exists. The Japanese have more plane carriers than any of our enemies and might try to get one by the Pacific patrols. The ire quent alerts in California prove the Army isn't discounting this possibility.
 It's foolhardy to pooh-pooh the bombing of U. s. as impossible. The military is taking the most serious precautions. They know that planes can fly to the United States from present Axis bases. They know too that the lure of a long-shot gamble increases with losses elsewhere, in an effort to recoup. - By John Grover.

Gan United States Be Bombed From
 Air? Will America Be Air Raided ?

Can the United States be bombed from the air2 Will the United States be bombed?
 The fist question can be answered fatly: Yes.
 The second calls for qualifications.
 All military operations have definite purpose The purpose of aerial bombardment of America would be: G) Disruption of civilian morale and effectiveness: @ Destruction of war plants.
 The first objective might be attempted with light. knockdoWn planes carried by submarines The Axis also might attempt to sneak plane tender past the Atlantic patrols
The Nome nugget., 1942-06-10
Expense Is An Item


 Every plane starting the mission would have to be written off total loss, and bombers like that hit the till for $250000 a copy All the highly trained bomber crews likewise would be lost
 In addition, plane losses increase with distance flown The British lost seven of 12 planes the Augs burg raid. Every mile increases the chance of dccc- ton, making certain a reception committed will be aIoft.
 It boiS down to this Any effective bombing of U s targets enough to serious dslocaton in gVen industrial area, would require vast expenditure of scarce, skilled personnel and the most expensive air craft Anything less would be ineffective
