That was that.

The characteristic inconsistency of the Japanese in their squawks about the nhumanty" of the atomic bomb has been emphasized by the disclosure that at least 225 of their balloon bombs reached the American continent during the final nine months of the war 1t true of course that the balloon bomb did not compare with the atomic in its destructive poentialitie But the manner iii which the balloon weapon was used by the enemy was Infinitely more barbaric tttEg3 fs ~ tf .et.At
 Not even the enemy made any claims as to accuracy for their balloon bombers The Japs simply released the balloons hoping they might explode with damaging effect somewhere They knew that the mathematical chances

HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEND LITTLE SEvEN-YEAR-OLD
 JOE TO CAMP FOR A WEEK
New York, N. Y. August 14, l945.

Aug USL IF, AOzOs Editor of The Democrat:
 Recently you propably saw a pie ture of Frances Scully, eleven year old winner of The Children's Aid Society,s Freckle Contest.
 Perhaps you would be interested to know about seven-year-old Joe, whom the Society wants to send to camp before the summer is over,
 Joe is the man of the house now that Pop is in Germany with the 63rd Division. Eight-year-old Molly his sister, does lot of "woman's' work in the house but Joe takes care of five-year-old Pete while Nom works part time stitching lad ies coats.
 Sometimes Joe gets ideas that run away with him, like last week when he and an eight year old pal and Pete got lost in New York's Central Park looking for squirrels.
 This worried Nom lot and she came over to The Children's Aid Society's Center to ask if Joe could go to camp for a vacation so that he could have the experience and discipline of regular routine and of being with other boys and the companionship of men which he misses with Pop away.
 Nom is paying $7.O0 toward Joe's vacation, but I wondered if seme interested readers would care tc send $1.00, or what they can spare to make up the additional $500 week it costs the Society. This would assure this little boy vaca- tion while Pop is still in Germany Checks should be sent to Edwin G. Merrill, Treasurer, The Chil- dren's Aid Society. 105 East 22nd Street, New York 10, N. Y.

TRAVELLING TO MUSIC FOR
 HUNDRED YEARS
(The New York Sunl

One of the most entertaining chapters in the history of American songs could be written on the lyfic- ism of transportation. This field of musical fancy has produced not a few imperishable combinations of words and melody. The Grosvenor Library of Buffalo has issued an illustrated bibliography of songs about trains and trolley cars, boats, carriages, flying machines, sleighs, roller skates and bicycles-even a rowing machine and water wagon!
 Some of the covers that adorned these songs are likely to remain classic examples of native folk art;

Former Game Warden Held
On Charge Of Setting Fires

William J. Hupman, 48, of River
dale, Md, former Virginia game
warden, is being held in Rockville
Jail awaiting removal to Roanoke
to stand trial on charges of setting
forest fires in George WASHINGTON
National Park, Va.
The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton announced yesterday that Hup-
man, an Agriculture Department
employe at Beltsville, had been ar
rested Saturday by special agents
and arraigned the same day before
United States Commissioner John D.
Bowman, jr., at Rockville.
Similar charges have been filed
against Frank P. and Charles B.
Hupman, brothers. They were ar
raigned in Harrisonburg last Fri
day, the FBI said. The two brothers
have admitted being with Hupman
when the fires were set, according to
the FBI.
Agents could ascribe no reason for
the setting of the fires other than
to report that Hupman was antag-
onistic toward fire wardens. Five
fires lighted April 81 caused $1,000
damage and covered approximately
$50 acres of forest land, according to
the FBI.
Bond for Hupman was set at
5000 but, unable to make bail, he
was taken to Rockville Jail.

Arlington 10 Abandon
War Housing Center

Arlington County's War Housing
Center, created shortly after the
start of the war to assist war work.
ers migrating to this area to find
homes, will be discontinued June 80,
1t was announced today by County
Manager Frank c. Hanrahan.
The occupancy saturation point in
living quarters has been reached,
Mr.. Hanrahan said, eliminating any
usefulness the center might have
and making its operating expense
an unnecessary burden.
The center was financed by an ap-
of the County Board for
rent and some equipment, while SAL
aries were paid by the Federal Gov
ernment. Persons seeking living
quarters in the county now will be
referred to the Washington War
Housing Center, it was said.
