WAR BONDS
TO WINNERS
Fifty Per Cent Increase in
Racing Purses at Delaware
Park Will Be i'm Bonds
PURSE VALUE HIGH

Continuing its policy of sharing
profits with horsemen, the Dela-
ware Steeplechase and Race Asso-
citation, operators of Delaware
Park, announces all purses will be
increased by awarding the owners
of winning horses war bonds val
ued at half of the value of the
purse. The minimum purse at
Delaware Park is $1,000. When
half of this amount is increased by
awarding the bonds, it will raise
the maximum purse value to S2.-
$50, one of the highest of any race-
track in the United States. In
creasing the purses last year by
this method was not started until
II days after the meet began.
Bryan Field, general manager,
said that inasmuch as the 1945
meet has gotten off to such a sue
cessful start the association decid-
ed to award the bonds three days
earlier. The distribution of the
bonds, Mr.. Field said, ''is not only
patriotic gesture on the part of
the track but also good business
when you consider that Delaware
Park last year ranked tenth in per
diem distribution of purses" In
1914, $139,350 was given in bonds
to horsemen, which raised the
tracks daily outlay to $22,05S.33.
Plan Started in 1912
Delaware Parks policy of giving
bonds to owners was started in
1912 by Col. Simpson Dean, U. S.
Army, president of the association,
who is now on duty in Calcutta,
India. After Colonel Dean enter
ed the armed forces this policy
was continued in 1914 by Donald
P. Ross, vice-president of the as
sociation, and this yeari is being
carried on by Mr.. Ross and Mr..
Field. Not only will the bonds in
crease the tracks per diem outlay
over last year, but it will increase
also the total money awarded in
purses, not including the $40, 500
increase in added money to the 13
stake races.

FUEL OIL
NOW NEEDED
Many Shiver Because COu.
pons Have Been Used, Now
Request Supplemental
ABNORMALLY COLD

AS hundredS OF Iuel OIL users III
the state whose rations have been
used up continue to shiver amid
abnormal autumn-like weather, the
Delaware OPA has announced that
applications for renewal of rations
are about to be mailed out. The
actual 1945-46 ration period begins
June l one month earlier than last
year. In the meantime, the fuel
oil panels have been confronted
with many requests for supple
mental fuel oil because of the con-
tinued cold weather. The low
temperature during Tuesday night
was 46 degrees. At 8 o'clock IN
the mercury went up only two
more degrees.
No Immediate Relief
Weather forecasters predict there
is no immediate relief in prospect
for dislodging the large mass OF
cold air which moved in from Hud-
son Bay region last week. 1t ap-
pears the current chill may last
until Saturday. Charles w. Hard
esty, district OPA director, said
the fuel oil coupons will be sent to
consumers June 10 to Is. This
will permit consumers with empty
tanks to have them filled to capac-
ity in the summer months. Mr.
Hardesty declared there will be nc
change in the amount of rations to
be issued for the coming 12-month
period unless war conditions
change. He explained that as the
war with Japan is largely naval
and amphibious in character, the
War Departments requirements
for fuel oil will continue and may
even increase"
Unit tdlue lO ltcih"u
"The public should not expect
anything like pre-war conditions IN
respect to fuel oil for this coming
winter, but may feel fortunate II
the situation is about the same as
last winter" Mr.. Hardesty said.
The unit value of fuel oil coupons
will remain the same, but are SUBJ
iect to change, depending on sup
ply and the military situation. "As
additional rations of fuel oil II
hardship cases were issued toe
freely in the last season, many
such requests will be eliminated II
the new season." Mr.. HardestJ
warned. CONSUMERS should con.
serve their oil by installation OF
storm windows and doors, insula'
ton, keeping temperatures down
and by other means.
Old Coupons Invalidated
Any coupons consumers may
have on hand from the last ration
year will be invalidated at the
close of the present season, Aug
81. Dealers and suppliers are moi
permitted to apply for ration as al
agent for a consumer unless the
consumer is a relation by blood OF
marriage. Other regulations are
consumers depositing fuel oil cou
pons with their dealers must be
given a receipt by the dealers. The
receipt must include statement
of gallon value of valid coupons al.
ready on deposit with the dealer
Consumers must sign their coupon
sheet before depositing it with
their dealer. Consumers not con
sidered permanent residents will be
given fuel oil rations in install
ments of about one-fourth their to-
tai ration. Fuel oil dealers with
storage capacity of $50 gallons ol
more are Required to file invent

Then Madge rose to her feet.
"Why, Uncle Louie" she laughed,
in surprise at herself, ''how stupid
of me. it's so simple-why can't
I have twins?"
Uncle Louie burst out jubilant-

that, my dear!"
Madge actually fioated as she
danced around the room singing,

EXPLODING PLANETARY SYSTEMS

dous power?
The Citizen heard that question asked
by dozens of Key Westers as result of the
using, for the first time in history, of an.
atomic bomb on Japan.
At one time scientists thought that an
atom was the minutest indivisable matter,
but, after many years of Investigation, 1t
was discovered that in an atom is plane
tary system with orbital motion, like our
system in which the sun is our nucleus.
All of us know that planets revolve
around the sun, and good many of us
know that the ''sun" of an atom Is a nucleus
composed of positive protons, while around
the nucleus revolve at Incredible speed
numerous electrons or planets.
Now. as we can not see an atom even
with the most powerful magnifying glass.
we may get an idea of how much infinitely
smaller are the electrons that are only
small part of the atom. But how do we
know that there is any such thing as an
atom or electrons or protons when there is.
no way i'm which we can see them.
Scientists have invented an instrument,
called a spinthariscope, that can observe
electrons bombarding the nucleus.
Now that we know the theory of the
atom, it is easy to determine where its power
comes from. 1t is a planetary system that
operates in the same way as do the solar
system in which we live, so let us imagine
what would happen if our solar system ex-
ploded, or was smashed, as we talk of
smashing the atom. The forces released
would not only, vaporize our solar system
but its effect would be felt throughout the
universe.
From that result it is easy too under
were smashed, all matter would be vapor-
lied.
An atom is said to measure bill
lionth of an inch. Various illustrations have
been given by scientists to give us an idea
of how small an atom is. A drop of salt
water, for instance, contains countless mil
lions of atoms of gold, yet from ton of
salt water only one-fiftieth of grain of
gold is obtainable.
Lord Kelvin said that grain of dust
contains many thousands of millions of
atoms Thinking of that comparison, we
may be able to form some sort of .hazy con-
clusion of the smallness of an atom, and it
is the smashing of that small thing that dis
rupts planetary system" and releases
electrons flying at incredible speed.
The power from one atom probably, is
not strong enough to be felt, but when
we know that a speck of dust contains
thousands of millions of atoms, how many
countless decillions of atoms are contained
in an atomic bomb of, say, only 10 lbs? And
while trying to figure that out. remember
that, in American enumeration, decillion
is with 33 ciphers after it, and in the Brit
ish enumeration, with so ciphers after it.
Finally, it is the multiplicity of power
of the atom, so vast as to go beyond the
science of mathematics, that has devast-
ing effect many thousands of times greater
than any known explosive, that is so terrify-
ing, as the japanese know by now
Every time an atomic bomb explodes
it releases the power that is engendered
from the disruption of countless decillions
of minute planetary systems:
