Blaze's air journey began in Eng
land last November 13. A Bit
bomber, commanded by the Presi-
dents son. and carrying 10 men,
Blaze and 20-pound female pup,
roared off for Maine by way of
Iceland. The Senators said Blaze
didn't usurp a seat on that trip as
the plane had oxygen and life RATS
for only 10 men.
Col. Roosevelt left the dogs at
Presque Isle, Me, and flew on to
New York. A few days later the
dogs caught a BIS to LaGuardia
Field, and a Marine corps pilot
brought them on down to the Cap
ital. He phoned the White House,
which sent a station wagon out for
them
On January Mrs. Boettiger asked
the priorities officer to get Blaze to
Hollywood He left on January 8
abroad a regularly scheduled cargo
plane.
Here is the statement submitted
to the subcommittee by Gen. George.
"On on about November 10, 1914,
Col. Elliott Roosevelt departed from
Ia European air field in a Bit
bomber, under his command, for
the United States by way of Ice
land. He arrived at Presque Isle
Army Air Field, Presque Isle, Me,
on November IA, 1914, at approx
imately 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Col. Roosevelt made the flight
under orders from the 9th Air Force
and pursuant to War Department
authority In addition to Col.
Roosevelt, the personnel on the
bomber included four officers and
five enlisted men. Other than per-
sonal baggage, no cargo was carried.
The dog Blaze, weighing between
ITO and lis pounds and a female
pup weighing 20 pounds were
transported in this bomber.
Both Dogs Declared.
"On arrival at the Presque Isle
Army Air Field, both dogs were de-
clared upon United States Customs |
Form No. 6063, which is the baggage
declaration and entry form.
"As the bomber was proceeding |
directly to New York and would |
arrive there in the late evening of !
November IA, it was suggested, due
to the absence of any facilities for
the dogs on arrival in New York, |
that they be kept at Presque Isle
until they could be conveniently |
transported to Washington. The
dogs were taken to the search and |
rescue kennels at the air base, |
where, after tests and inspection. a
health certificate was issued by the !
station veterinarian and given to
the customs officials.
"On November %, 1914, a BPS
type airplane, on an operational
flight, and carrying military per-
sonnel, was scheduled to be flown
from Presque Isle Army Air Field
to LaGuardia Field, New York, |
with an intermediate stop at Gre

Librarians attend
Special Course

Monday Miss Hazel Adair, libra
rian, Miss Andrea Bartholomew
and Mrs. Helen Boothe, staff mem
berS of the Bacon Memorial Public
Library, attended the final class
of a course, THE Library and the
Community" taught by DR.. Harry
Allen OverStreet and his wife, Bon
aro Wilkinson Overstreet.
Agreeing with the American Lib
rary Association that the library of
today is conferred in the life of the
community it serves, DR.. and Mrs.
OverStreet in their course offered
suggestions and assistance toward
making the librarian as a person
and the library as an institution
most effective in the community.
No longer is the librarian a mere
custodian of books. A successful Ii
brary must be more than a store
house Of the written knowledge of
the world. The finest collection of
books in the universe, if it remains
unused on the shelves, is not Wor-
thy the name library. Today'S IL
brarian must take her place in the
intellectual, civic, and social life
OF the community. She must be an
active force in bringing about that
happy combination of books and
people which is the aim of every
modern librarian and library trus-
tee.

Voglesong, Sharples Chemist, Tells
Lions of Oak Ridge A-Bomb Plant

William F. Voglesong, Staff Ply
sicist at Sharples Chemicals Inc.
recently gave the Wyandotte Lions
club a description of the develop
ment at Oak Ridge, Tennessee,
where y 235 for atomic bombs was
separated from uranium. Many of
the details which enabled the prof.
ect to be the wars best guarded
secret were disclosed. The talk was
based upon the speakers experience
of 18 months at Oak Ridge and was
released by General Groves office.
Oak Ridge is on the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad and the
sign at the depot which read Pop
ulation 75p was not changed as the
population increased to about 5000
with perhaps 100000 working there.
The technical personnel of this
site of the Manhattan" project was
recruited from colleges and indus
try all over the country. The To-
cation was advertised merely as in
the southeast. Representatives were
sent to interview people at practi-
cally every college and the only in
formation divulged was that the
work was for the government in
Tennessee. Non-technical employees
were secured from the clothing in
dustry, small arms plants, cotton
mills and other small factories
which were not essential to the war,
and from farms. Wages were lower
than in the north, but looked big
to the southerner.
In order to maintain secrecy, mail
was censored or spot censored and
telephone calls were monitored. One
out of every seven employees was
rIlmored to be working for the
F.BI.
A plain badge giving the name
and number of the employee and
the name of the contractor was
worn outside of the plant but not
outside Of the residential district.
The plain badge was exchanged at
the plant for another which in
cluded a picture, a denotation of
the areas to which the employee
was permitted access, a Roman
number from I to v that indicated
how much information could be dis
closed to the employee, and an
arabic number which designated
the employees apartment.
All equipment and materials were
coded. For example, No. 753 stood
for dry ice, TIA for liquid air and
T CTuballoyl for uranium.
Mr.. VogleSong was non-commit-
tai concerning the adviSability of
keeping the atomic bomb secret,
but pointed out that even if the Sc
cret could be kept it would be re-
discovered by others soon.
In closing his address, Mr.. Vogle-
song expressed the opinion that the
Social side Of man has not kept
pace with the advancement of
science, that peace and prosperity
cannot be assured by legislation
alone, and that we must live closer
to the teachings of Christ or else
witness the destruction of civiliza-
ton.
