Radar did it.
On a winter day, I sat in a room
at the Willard hotel in Washington.
London was trembling under the
terror Of night bombing. Sitting at
a table before us was an officer Of
the Royal air force. After a few gen.
eral remarks, he made what was to
us an astounding statement; name
ly, that defense against daytime
bombing had been perfected and a
method of ending the effectiveness
of night attack would soon be in
operation.
The tide had been turned in the
battle of Britain and. though we
didn't know it then, radar had done
that, too.
Between these two events was an
other one we don't like to talk too
much about. Over in the Hawaiian

1\ON'T spoil your LIE
longing for something
- just because someone
else has it. This is a real fault
in American women, partly
because they have so much,
and because their leisure time
lets them think about their
neighbors.
If life was a little more real for
US. if grim necessity more often
knocked at our doors, we would be
cured of this weakness. The women
of the Orient don't know it at all.
They drive straight ahead, each one
planning and working for the COM
fort and protection Of her W little
group. not embittered by the fact
that luxury and leisure and all the
p%rettiness CT life are denied her for
ever.
But the days of many an Ameri-
can woman are darkened by con-
slant watching and comparing her
neighbor's fortunes to her own. She
doesn't appreciate at all what she
has-all that matters is that the
Browns have more.
For example. l once knew a
woman named Sally. She was
healthy. beloved. a happy wife and
mother. l met her when she had her
three small children at the seaside.
She and I had rented neighborlng
cottages for a fortnight's vacation.
We were within a block of the shore
and all the wild delights of child
hood merry 60 : rounds. dodge
ems, popcorn, slides. whirls, mu-
seums and sandy beach-were close
at hand. Nobody could call it an
a]ristocratic resort, but it was in
expensive. joyous and wholesome as
only the shore can be.
Craved for Luxury Resort.
However. to Sally, the blight was
that she had a friend who had taken
her child to Tahoe-remote, refined
and, in spots, very dull. But Tahoe
is fashionable and Santa Cruz is not,
and Sally kept comparing the two
places until her vacation was
ruined by fretting and discomfort.
If Sally had been a child. how
simple it would have been to say,
Nov, not another word about Tahoe
or what Nancy is doing. If l hear
any more of this nonsense Miss. you
60 straight to bed!'
But Sally isn't a child, so we
had to put up with it. She never saw
the beauty of the rolling waves or
the brilliance of the happy crowd

boardwalk. She never smiled when

and breathless on the float. She
didn't brighten when we gathered
for a delicious hot breakfast in
the coffee shop or took hamburgers
and buns down on the beach. Not
Sally! Nancy was at Tahoe, where
everything was elegant and expen-
sive. so there was no pleasure for
Sally anywhere else.

Commercial Aviation
Will Profit Greatly

Speculation as to radar's ultimate
possibilities are unlimited, both in
war and peace. Any ordnance ex-
pert will tell you that a controlled
missile that is, a bomb such as
the deadly German w" bombs,
which flew from Holland to Eng
land - can, with certain improve
ments. be made much more deadly.
Not only can they be made to fly
much farther-across the Atlantic.
over the North Pole - but they
a be accurately aimed and d.
rected at an area such as a city
and ruthlessly destroy it. Radar can
do that and many other things it has
not yet attempted. There are. like
wise. an infinite number of ways in
which radar can and will serve a
peaceful world.
In commercial aviation, the man
at the airport. will be able to To-
cate all of the planes in the vicinity
by day or by night. in cloudy wealth
er and clear. And it must be re.
membered that regulating the traf-
fc is going to be one of the most
important problems Of tomorroW's
skyways. for there will be a ire
mendous increase in the number of
planes which will be in use and a
similar increase in their speed and
size.
Radar can warn the planes them
selves against collision and the pres
enc of land masses, high tension
wires. tall buildings or other OBJ
stacles to their flight. And. of
course. will permit safe landing
even in a dense fog.
