Airplane Roars on Up Above in
Attempt TO Dispense the Clouds

General Electric in Schenectady,
NJ. Y. where it is compiled and
studied by scientists specializing
in weather experiments. Silver
thorn probably is piling up the
biggest backlog of weather MAX
ing" data ever gathered.
Scientists Interested
Scientists visiting here from the
G.. E. laboratories in Schenectady
regard the Silverthorn expert
ments as of great importance, but
are unable to say precisely what
they have proved. The real pay
off may be years away. If
damaging winds are less frequent
in the months when Silverthorn
is at work in the clouds, it is fair
assumption that his work is hav-
ing some effect.
Even a light breeze of 20 miles
an hour is a potential scourge in
the banana country. It causes
what people call a "blowdown."
Thousands Of mature banana
stems come crashing down from
the tops of fragile banana stalks
in a wind of that velocity. The
fruit is then a total loss because
such large quantities could not
be moved TO market all at once.

LA LIMA, Honduras tU.P0--
High over the banana farms of
this tiny public a lone aviator is
buzzing the cloud banks these
days in one Of mans most persis-
tent efforts to exert control over
the weather.
Sometimes a few drops of rain
may fall, but rainmaking is not
his prime purpose. What he
hopes to do is dissipate clouds
and prevent winds from blowing
down the ocuntry's rich banana
crop.
Joseph Silverthorne IS the avia-
tors name. He is chief pilot for
the United Fruit Company, which
maintains a fleet of private planes
here in connection with its multi
million dollar banana business.
Every afternoon Silverthorn
spots a cloud somewhere over
Honduras that he thinks might be
worth looking into. Then he
cranks up his twin-engine Lodes-
tar airplane and starts climbing.
The clouds that Silverthorne re-
CARDS as worthy of his attention
are the deep ones that 60 up as
high as $4,000 or $4,000 feet.
Balloons Released
Once inside such a cloud bank
he begins giving orders over the
inter-com to his navigator and an
assistant in the rear of the plane.
They have at their elbow a large
ice-box containing small rubber
balloons filled with water and a
wetting agent called OT-100. a
At a command from the pilot,
the men in the back of the plane
poke the balloons out through a
funnel in the planes side. If a
cloud is effectively dispersed it
may prevent it from causing a
damaging wind disturbance.
Silverthorn and his crew keep
elaborate notes on every observa-
ton they can make while aloft-
temperature inside and outside
cloud banks, altitude, density and
nature of clouds, speed of plane,
and amounts of water and OT-1O0

Streets Painted
For School Kids

Another step in the efforts to
protect MarySville's school child
rem was taken last week when
huge school" signs were painted
on the streets at the important in
tersections on the main routes TO
and from school.
The signs were painted on S.
Maple st. at the intersection of
Sixth and Seventh SITS. and on f.
Fifth st. at Chestnut.
The warning on E. Fifth is for
the protection of children at
tending the East Building and liv-
ing north of Fifth, while those on
Maple are for kiddies living west
of there.
Shencil for painting the signs
was loaned to the Village by Oct
ave Anmon, engineer of Division
Six on the State Highway Depart
ment at Delaware, through ar
rangements made by Mayor
KingSmore.
To make these precautions
more effective the parents should
warn their children to go to and
from school by the marked
routes and to cross only at the in
tersections with warning signs.

Redwood Team

Redwood High Schools foot
ball team goes against tough
Westerville outfit on the Tigers
home field Friday in the opening
contest of the regular season.
The Tigers have had the ad-
vantage of a head start in their
preview game with Forest last
Friday night. Several injuries
were sustained but none of these
appear too serious and Redwood
should be ready to roll against
the invading Dry-Towners.
Smith was Westerville's main
offensive threat last year and he
had graduated but the Wildcats
backs are not inexperienced.
They will have the edge on Rich
wood in backfield power and ex-
perience and should rate favor
ite.
Richwood's passing game is
sure to keep the visitors on edge
throughout the contest and if
the breaks go right the Tigers
could make things very interest

Something New
For Fair-Goers
Will Trace Founding
of Union County

Fairs -goers have in store for
themselves something completely
different in the way of a Fair
pagent, Through the Years with
Union County is presented Fri
day and Saturday evenings.
The pageant will not be spec
tacular, in the Hollywood mean
ing of the word there are too
many mechanical limitations for
that. 1t will, however, be a
colorful, interesting portrayal of
Union County's early history,
with each of the IA townships
portraying some phase.
Altogether, thre are more
than 800 men, women and child
rem in the cast. A few of the
episodes call for only one char
acter to portray the vent; others
have as many as 80 or 40 in
them.
Authentic Costumes
In each episoe, those partici-
pating will be attired in cos
tunes which are authentic
clothing of the period being
portrayed. These costumes fur
nish one of the most interesting
features of the entire program.
There are no speaking parts,
other than the narrator who un-
folds the story of each episode;
Father Time, who suggests the
different events portrayed; and
the Spirit of History, who also
assists in telling the story. These
parts are taken by Marvin Per-
kins, Redwood; Joseph N. Grigs-
by, Marysville attorney; and
Thelma Barger, Milford Center.
Some of the episodes, however,
do call for the participants to
sing songs of the period.
Many Episodes
To describe each individual
episode here would require sew
eral columns; suffice it to say
that each portrays an event in
Union County history which will
help those who see it appreciate
some of the problems our pioneer
ancestors knew; some of the
hardships of pioneer life; and
some of the happier times they
enjoyed.
One of the episodes, for in
stance, will present the Virginia
Reel, exactly as it was danced
more than a hundred years ago,
with the boys and girls in typical
dress of the day. Another episode
will show an old-fashioned husk-
ing bee.
