OUR PUBLIC CONDUCT

jackson is rapidly growing city, but it is sometimes
wondered its citizens growing with it. And especially
do we wonder this when watch the public conduct
some of people Street braws between and
knife scrapes and aaround misunderstanding minor
things certainly help keep the police courts cuttered with
unnecessary work
Too often we blame most of this the young people
but that is not where the fault lies everybody
be away from home night and day and is longer home
It's just place to sleep and sometimes eat and the
parents aid the younger in the worst type of public mis-
conduct.
Just for the sake of being good citizen anayze your
self and see your public conduct desirable and let's help
each other to become cooperative with elowman

Now that the shooting part of

many people are anxious to get

Proximity Fuse She'll
Rated Second 10 Atom
As Deadly Weapon

A proximity fuse" for mortar
shells which would have increased
the killing effectiveness of one of
wars deadliest weapons approx
imately tenfold and would have
rendered the foxhole virtually
obsolete was developed at the
United States Bureau of Standards
during the closing months of the
war.
1t never came into actual use.
The mortar is basically a weapon
against enemy infantry. It can hit
a close target accurately and with
devastating effect and few expe-
riences are more uncomfortable for
an infantry outfit than being under
mortar fire for any extended period.
But nearly all the mortar shells
used had contact fuses. They did
not explode until they hit the
ground. The result was that a
shell sprayed with killing frag-
ments an area at ground level. So
long as the infantryman had a
good foxhole and kept his mead
down, ne was reasonably safe.
Fired BY Radio Echoes.
Like other proximity fuses, this
one is set off by the return of radio
echoes from the target. 1t can be
made to explode at any desired
height, preferably about head
high, so that rain of fragments
will fall on the foxholes.
When it was determined that the
proximity fuse was practical, two
separate research projects got
under way which developed what
has been described as the second
most important new weapon of the
war. only second to the atomic
bomb itself and probably con-
tributing more to the defeat of the
Axis
One project called for a fuse for
spinning projectiles, such as artil-
lery shells. Such a fuse-a tiny
sending and receiving radio station
with a self-contained supply of
electrical power-would be sub
jected to terrific whirling stresses
and heat.
The other project, undertaken by
the Bureau of Standards physicists,
called for fuses for nonWhirling
projectiles, such as bombs and rock
cts. In some respects the two prob
lens were exactly opposite. The
fuses attached to such nonwhirling
projectiles would be required to
withstand extremely low tempera-
lures.
Generate Own Power.
From the second line of research
came. largely as sideline, the
proximity fuse for motor shells,
which are fired from a mortified
barrel and hence have no whirling
motion in the air
Because of the extreme cold to
which it would be subjected, the
bomb and rocket fuses could not
depend on storage batteries for elec-
trical power. Consequently it was
necessary for the Bureau of Stand
ards scientists working under the
Evening star., 1945-11-19

direction of DR.. Harry Diamond
chief Of the Ordnance Development
Division, to find some device which
would generate its own power. Their
device consists of tiny windmill in
the head Of the fuse which Is ro-
tated by the air at rate of 10000
revolutions per minute. Thus the
radio station" is self-powered.
The same principle was used in
the mortar fuses, largely because the
research had taken that direction.
The tenfold killing power of the
shells equipped with these proximity
fuses was determined by expert
ments, using logs OF wood in fox
holes to simulate men, and con-
trasting the number of hits with
those made by shells set off by con-
tact fuses.
