War to Last
Ten Years Is
Opinion in East
DR.. Schilling says
scientists all plan
for long conflict

The war win last ten years years fn
the opinion of scientists and other
well-inforrned men in the east, DR..
Schilling told members of the XII
wants club Tuesday noon. DR..
Schilling had been asked ito tell some
of the highliglnts of his recent trip
TO the eastern seaboard.
1t is a war of science and mechan-
les. rather than of muscle and might
as in FORMER conflicts and men in
all technical endeavors have on hand
projects pertaining to the war,
Schilling said. His brother with
whom he visited. is teacher OF
sciences in an eastern university and
made the above statement when
questioned about the war situation
in the east.
: From observation, DIR. Schilling
said that other than the 24-llour
watch in the skies and the constant
beach patrolling, there is little TO
indicate the war. Even the blackouts
and tests have become mechanical
and occasion no comment, he said.
He was caught in an air raid prac-
tice warning and had 30 stand
against a wall for am hour or so
until the all-clear sounded. He
said the people took it all in good
humor and complied with good grace.
30 the safety requirements.
Farming conditions were the best
in the past IS years, according To-
most information he, received, es-
pecially Through the DaDotas, where
the fields were still green and lush
and the thousands of ducks and
geese testified TO an end Of the
drouth era through that section.
DIR. Schilling said that transpor-
bation facilities in the East were far
ahead of those in this section, with
speed, comfort and luxury prevailing
ON the main rail arteries.

Park Playground
Receives Support
Oliver Reports
Unusual response
greets Churchman'S
proposal s

Twenty or more people have made
special trips to tell councilman Larry
Oliver that they strongly favored
his proposed plan Of installing play
field equipment in the park. They
especially favor the mechanical rides
which the alderman thinks he can
secure, pointing out that such equip
ment will p robably do away forever
with any call for the type of gyp
carnivals which have annually visit
ed the community.
Of his interviews, Mr. Oliver said
that there was but one person who
didn't favor his idea. This person
said that the expense Of installing
the equipment wouldn't be Justified,
for the children would soon tire Of
riding a merry-go-round and ferris
wheel. Oliver, however, said that in
his long residence in Kennewick he
had noted that the districts one un-
failing crop was kids and judging
from present indications there would
be bumper crop in the near future.
The councilman has received
enough encouragement from citizens
that he is going to follow through
with the idea and is even now in
vestigating the possibility Of secur-
ing the rides mentioned. p.
In addition to the rides, he plans
on a shuttle board court, which has
found great favor in the south, out
door checkers, swings, Seeters, etc.
He expects to have the equipment
ready for use next season. r...

s,usively that using jet or stream

more effective and quicker than

did "a speedy attack on the bomb
Mil, knock it out in less than a min

can be used in attacking other
hombs nearby before they can start
serious fires. Sand should not be
used except where water is not avail

IN fine event of a raid. That is the
ony sound criterion for Judging the
r,a4lter Great Britain and New zea-
land after extensive experiments

excellent results" 49,. .
The new instructions reduced to
essentials are as follows: .-.. =,

ment to the scene at once.
q Shoot a jet of water directly ait

8. Then use the jet, quickly, to
mlencl1 fragments and the remains
Of the bomb, and any fires that
might have been started.
4 Be absolutely sure the fire is
out before you leave the scene.
s. use a coarse spray only where
scattering of metal must be avoided.
6. Use sand only if a bomb falls
where it is not likely TO start a fire
or if water is not available. .r.E

There undoubtedly will arise
some confusion in the mind Of the
general public between the old and
the new Instructions, he said. How
ever, we must remember that we are
fighting war and there are no
fixed rules for warfare. Instruc-
tons on many techniques and de-
tails may have to he changed before
the war is over. We cannot promise
any rule will not be altered. ut is our
individual duty TO keep ourselves
abreast of developments. The Of

as many lives and as much property

wonderful "SCHEHERAZADE"

don't miss IL. because one hear
ing will convince you of this.
There has been recent re-
issue of the Dvorak CELLO
CONCERTO" which is chiefly
worth while. because il gives a
final opportunity 10 hear the
work. which is indeed outstand-
ing. even If the accompaniment
Of the Czech Philharmonic is
somewhat below par.
OF course. the same can he
said of those last recordings
which Emmanuel Feuermann
made with Heifetz and ToSca-
mini. but we suspect that the
Casals performance is more of
a rarity.
