Bender in the 23rd district. Woods
said it gave Republicans and
Democrats two sure districts
apiece.
Rep. James R. Sexton (R-But-
Ier) proposed the change approved
by voice vote for his county. 1t
widened the split of Butler Coun-
ty between the 4th and 7th dis
tricts.
The result was net gain of
10000 population for the 4th at
the expense of the 7th. Shifted
to the 18th were the villages of
Millville, Jacksonburgh and seven
mile and the townships of Wayne,
Fairfield and Ross. That put 93,-
Geo of Butler County's residents
in the 4th and $4,000 in the 7th.
Here's how the districts lined
up:
Fourth-the counties of Allen,
Augulaize. Darke, Mercer, Miami,
Preble, Shelby and the part of
Butler containing the towns of
Hamilton, Someryille, College
corner, Oxford, Reilly, Morgan,
Milford, Hanover, st. Clair.

and the part of Butler containing
the towns of Middletown, Monroe,
Trenton and the townships of
Madison. Lemon, Liberty and
Union. Total population 36s,e42.
Rep. Harold L. Short (R-Mi-
amil sought unsuccessfully to
make Butler and Montgomery
counties into a single district with
about $4,000 population.
Rep. Virgil Perrill tR-Fayette)
lost two attempted revisions. One
would have shifted Fayette from
the 9th to the 7th district. The
other proposal brought Rep. Sam
B. Nicely (R-Clintonl to his feet.
He said the change would put
Congressman Clarence ]. Brown,
Blanchester Republican into the
9th district and that shouldn't be.
But he said Brown favored re-
districting.
Rep. John Z. Henderson fR-
Guernsey wanted Belmont Coun-
ty moved from the 18th TO the
18th district and Tuscarawas
County from the 18th to the 18th.
Rep. A. G. Lancione tD-Belmont)
supported the proposal but the
house tabled it 70-43. Rep. Clar-
ence L. Wetzel tR-Columbianal

Rep. Homer f. Adele Irwin
tom proposed these shifts: Fair
field and Perry counties from the
10th to the 18th and Morgan and
Washington counties from the
18th to the 10th. Members tabled
the motion.
The last amendment came from
Rep. George c. Philpot (R-Noble)
It went like this: Belmont from
the 18th to the 18th, Tuscarawas
from the 10th to the 18th, Lick

Athens and Perry from the 10th

round. Representatives tabled it,
The proposed bill left unchang-

OF Franklin County. The 18th

divided among other districts.
Brehm recently was convicted Of

CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING

He said the house elections

proposals before coming up with
the present bill. And he asserted
that reports the senate plans to
kill the measure are not true.
Taking note of other reports, Sax
be added:

Ohio now has the nations larg-

United STATES air and naval forces. In
~ training here with warlke realism, might
well be girding these tiny islands, which have
had an important part in every American war
since the Revolution, for their still greatest
role-a vital link In the defense of Washington.
Preparing for war Is not new to Bermuda.
for 1t once was the most heavily fortified spot
in the Western Hemisphere; but today'S train
ing Is of a new and different kind. There are
no jet fighters flashing through the skies. no
drilling soldiers. no laundering guns nor tricky
aerial and naval maneuverS.
Instead. the training involves the most
modern approach to aerial warfare that. because
Of its scientific intricacies. seems somehow out
of place amid the crumblng ruins Of this British
coony's age-old forts.
It all evolved from tragic and costly lessons
we learned during World War II when weather
conditions-not enemy guns-sent many an
airman plunging to his doom. Reliable weather
reconnaissance became a vital necessity.
And when those airmen we're lost the TRACE
dies also brought into sharp focus the need for
an air rescue service to save the lives Of as
many military air crews possible Because
of the long. costly and precision training in
volved air crews are not easily replaced.
Evening star., 1951-09-16

This is the preparation that Is being con-
centrated upon here-plotting the weather for
offensive and defensive tactics and building a
rescue service that will save as many men as
possible.
Soon after the war, the SD Strategic Re
connaissance Squadron-"Hurricane Hunters" !"
If you pleaSe-went into training at Kindley
Air Force Base here. And even as you read
this. the squadrons BIOS. equipped with delicate
weather instruments. are winging high over the
Atlantic.
Data including barometric pressures, tenn
peratures. wind velocity and such from over
hundreds of square miles and from heights up
to $4,000 feet are radioed back to Kindley and
on to weather headquarters at Andrews Airbase
near Washington.
Similar daily reports are gathered from
five other Squadrons around the world some 200
weather stations and Is mobile units The
result issued from Andrews, Is a composite
worldwide weather forecast.
1t forecasts the weather for given time at
a given place-WaShington New York Korea
London and even Moscow. The forecasts not
only would tell US when and where our air
forces could strike. but would warn us in ad-
vance when and where invading bomberS could
get through and enable our defensive forces to
intercept them long before they reached their
target for tonight"
1t is a comforting reinsurance particularly
in view Of the fact that more pessimistic per-
sons have likened Washington to Sitting
duck" and have said the Capital would be one
of the first places an enemy would attempt to
strike on our shores.
It also is reassuring to know that vital
link in Washington's defenses is ''ready to go"
this far from home on the very islands, in fact,
from whence the British fleet sailed to invade
and burn the capital 1877 years ago.
The air rescue service is not hit-and-miss
game of hide-and-Seek. Like the weather
squadron. it operates with scientific precision.
With the Atlantic divided into squares on a
huge blackboard In its briefing room, the
rescuers use weather reports. sea currents plane

After the war; operations naturally re-
laxed at Kindley and the naval station was cut
back to "care and maintenance" basis but
both are far from that now.
Since Korea, an almost wartime security
has clamped down. Men working on secretive
equipment wear holstered ASS by day and, at
night steel-helmeted, armed guards walk their
posts. For them. Bermuda is not the vaca-
TONERS paradise the travel folders describe.
The naval base was reactivated May 1. but

manding officer
"Now the base is ready to take an active
war role. All installations are fully occupied.
Bermuda always will be important in our de-
ferSe."

air crew probably would be found.
The rescue squadrons criss-crosS the sea
from the east coast to the Azores in big air
planes that carry every life-saving device con-
ceivable including a power driven. supply
laden life boat that can be dropped by para
chute. Their methods and accuracy In the
humanitarian business of saving lives is some
times uncanny.
Their training during these peace years has
been realistic enough and they have gone to
the assistance Of crippled ships. freighters and
commercial airliners as well as military planes
a surprising number of times.
Both the weather and rescue outfits are
units of the Military Air Transport Service
which flies over $4,000 miles of air routes
around the world to every point where American
forces are stationed or where American interests

Electric Gadgets For Home
and Farm Varied

There are over 400 applications
of electricity for the home and
farm, ranging from deodorizers and
hog callers, to complete heating
systems using radiant panels.
John l.. Crothers, Assistant County
Agent, says that many of the new
devices are small helps, that make
living easier and more pleasant. A
good example is a miniature plastic
deodorizing unit that can be plug
ged into an ordinary wall socket.
Pill-sized reflls last about four

built-in neon bulb, which stays on
thus eliminating fumbling in the

Byron began his electric project

from his mother, he rearranged
the kitchen appliances, installing

saved in walking is two-thirds of
that formerly consumed. He has
