What this means to the ordinary listener is that he is getting something extraspecial every time he tunes in his radio set With the incentive of knowing that large section of today radio audience made up of men and in the services both here and abroad enter ainers adding spark to their stuff that comes right from the heart
 What the future holds for radio is something that only time will reveal. We all know that important tech nical developments lie ahead in the television and re qucncy oduation fields As for the entertainment your guess is good mine suspect however, that radio programs will take and more of an international aspect the is and the peace terms settled As matter of fact important ground has been broken for this by Office of War Information which has already demonstrated that American broadcastng fac ies handle programs in every language under the sun.
 We must remember that for time after this grim business of warfare is over American boys will be scattered in every quarter of the globe They will look to American broadcasts for relaxation and recreation and they will get them And will the natives of the tries in which they quartered Leave it to Amer ican boys to boost the prestige of adenAmerca radio programs.

 One of the amazing things about radio is how 1t has shifted into wartime gear with scarcely ripple While 1t is true that there have been critical days and weeks when the tempo of world affairs has pushed everything aside to clear the air lanes for flash broadcass the

NEW LAMP
 EXTENDS LIFE OF VACC|NES

Chicago, July 8.-(UP)-A newlS developed ultraviolet lamp which kills or inactivates bacteria ar( biruses in less than one second may revolutionize the production of vaccines according to the Journal of the American Medical Assn.
 Reporting on experiments con ducted by i've Chicago scientista the Journal said the new method kills or inactivates bacteria and viruses in Q fraction of secopd by exposing continuously flowing films, less than millimeter m depth, to the rays of the lamp.
 With this method there Is minimum loss of antigenicity, or ability to produce antibodies when the vaccine is introduced into the body, the Journal said, and ex. plained there Is undue destruction of antigenic properties in the usual method of inactivation with heat or chemicals.
 Experiments indicated that vac. cines prepared with the new method retain their strength for longer per. iods, the Journal said, and irradi- ated rabies vaccines showed no loss of potency after having been stored for six months at icebox teinpera- ture. Phenolized vaccines deterio- rate rapidly when stored at these temperatures, the magazine de. clared.
 The vaccines were tested on animals by Dr. Sidney o. Levin- son, Albert Milzer, Howard J. Shaughnessy, John L. Neal and Franz Oppenheimer, working at Michael Reese hospital and the Division of Laboratories, Illinois Department of Health.

JOE PRIVATE SAYS ;


 founding of the Army Air Forces it is fitting that this column be de- voted to. some of the outstanding books on aviation available in the Base Library.
 Most important and interesting is the recently published "Oficial Guide to the Army Air Forces" directory, almanac and chronicle of achievement. In addition to the text, compiled after exhaustive research, are included GA full pag- es of gravure photographs depict ing all phases of life and opera tions in the AAF. It's book for every man and woman, military and civilian. Two copies are avail able at the Base Library, one for circulation and the other for ref erence. Copies are on sale at the PIX and proceeds go to the Army Air Forces Air Society.
 Of special interest to the per sonnel of Bradley Field are "Com- bat Aviation" by Kenneth Ayling, and Fighter Facts and Fallacies, by John G. Lee, for these two books are devoted to the planes "that make the angels gasp" the fighters. The first provides a guide and refresher for the men who fly fighter planes. A great deal of in formation has naturally had to be withheld for security reasons, but the main fundamentals of combat are given with as many examples as possible for modern tactics. Through a discussion of engine power, wing form, streamlining, weight, etc., MT. Lee in his book shows how each part of a fighter plane acts and why. It shows what each particular type of plane is best equipped to do. It is guide to ones own plane-and to that of ones adversary.
 Target: Germany" is the Army Air Forces official story of the VIII Bomber Commands first year over Europe, the epic story of how our European air armada came into being and how it really works. What happened when 3O,OOO pounds of American bombs and American bomber collided with 5000 pounds of German fighter at 25,OOO feet and at combined speed of 600 miles an hour? The story is here in tale of individual heroism and endurance.
 Capt. Edgar Wynn of the Air Transport command learned to fly the hard way, transforming around the country, but that was only prelude to the thrilling adventures told in his book "Bombers Across" Across the North Atlantic, across the South Atlantic, over South America, England, Africa, Iran and Iraq the ferry pilots have pio- neered the routes which now cover the world. His is the story of the men who fly the Big Stuff" and it is something new in narratives of wartime adventure.
 "This Winged World" edited by Thomas Collison, is an anthology of aviation fiction linking together 36 important stories of the sky. The stories were chosen after a careful survey of English litera- ture; the selection of each was de- termined by it's authenticity, sig nifcance and particular value as related to the growth of aviation.
 FOR EACH MANS INTEREST there's book:
 For Pvt. Elgie Taylor: Gentle men Behave," by Towne, when you go to meet HER mother.
 For Sgt. Morris, Section G. "Y'our Dreams and What They Mean," by Clement Wood.
 For Charlie Holmes, Finance:- "Bet It's Boy," by Betty Bacon Blunt. (Ed. note: Better see the
