Martha has been in All club work
for seven years and completed 26
projects during that time. She was
a county dress revue winner twice
and took part in various other con-

Sincerely.
GERALD.
Dear Gerald:
First let's don't call it phony
war. Whatever the appearances, for
the fighting men and the nation it
is real enough. Whether it is ended
tomorrow or goes on like the Hun
dred Years War of old, OF the Cru
sades of the Middle Ages, it is very
real. Bravery and courage and gall
lantry are as real in Korea today as
they were in Flanders and Two
Jima.
Of course you are confused, for
people seem to go on here as if
nothing tragic were happening in the
world. You wonder if it is worth
while. Look at your ranch, your fam
lily, your horse and dog; is their
safety worth while? Isn't the way of
life that to you has become so sud-
denly dear worth defending?
The old trite saying, ''It is small
world" has come true. 1t does
seem that policing the world is quite
a task for one country such as ours,
but it has become necessary to do
lust that in order to hold inviolate
this land and the way of living that
we hold so dear. And we have been
most fortunate that so far the fight
ing that we have had to do to protect
this land has been on other fronts
without subjecting our homes to the
ravages of war, for war travels
swiftly and its destruction is COM
plete.
However, we are taking fatal
istic point of view and have already
transported you into battle when the
chances of you seeing actual combat
are pretty remote. Our military per-
sonnet is scattered far and wide and
you are very likely to be sent to
some peaceful location or may even
spend your entire service within
flying distance of home. Some en-
joy the service so much that they
plan to make it career, and mill
tary career has many fine induce
ments. For those who like to travel
and like close association with then
fellow man it is most agreeable.
There is one thing certain, those
who go into the service with the RICH
frame of mind find it much easier
to enjoy their sojourn, for it is too big
to fight. 1t is so vastly big that vol

Associoted Press Science Editor

Despite an estimated 439
deaths and damages exceeding
$205 million from tornadoes this
year. the United States Weather
Bureau reiterates that A-bomb
tests in Nevada have nothing to
do with the springs explosive
weather.
Most of the fatalities this year
resulted from three tornadoeS-
one swept through Waco, Tex,
last month; another hit Flint,
Mich. Monday. and the last
ground through Central Massa-
chusetts yesterday.
Some 215 tornadoes have been
reported this year, according to
unofficial sources. The average
number of twisters reported
yearly to the Weather Bureau is
about $50.
DR.. Jerome Namias, chief Of
the bureaus Division of Long
Range Forecasting. says that the
culprit responsible for the East's
persistently wet weather-and
a "far above average" number
of tornadoes so far this year
is a river of air that flows high
above the ground.
Thousands Of Miles Wide.
This high-riding air current
called the planetary wave train"
by scientists-begins at about
10, ,000-foot altitude and extends
upward at least 10000 feet more.
It is believed to be thousands Of
miles in width.
It's central core is a high-speed
wind, called the "jet stream"
which sometimes attains q speed
of 800 miles an hour. This "jet
stream came to light during
the last war when pilots Of B-29
Ebombers. making raids on Japan
at attitudes Of 10000 to $4,000
feet, sometimes found their
planes slowed to a virtual stand
still during the bombing run.
Later. on the home trip, they
found themselves in a tremen-
dous 'tail wind" which more
than doubled their speed.
The planetary air current, with
its fast-stepping "jet stream. "
is a wind OF a different pattern
compared with the prevailing
winds at the earth's surface,
such as the trade" winds.
Current Always There.
The high-altitude current Is
always present, weathermen say.
It's particular antics during the
present spring account for the
particular weather pattern that
has prevailed.
They explain it this way:
The planetary current has
waves" just like any other air
or liquid current.
These waves" are both ver-
tical and horizontal. But it's
the horizontal kind which has
provided the trouble this spring.
BY horizontal is meant the kind
of wave that would be at right
angles to your line of vision if
you could actually see these
waves as you looked up towards
the stratosphere.
Take a look at the big map.
See the deep dip, or trough"
starting from roughly above the
State of Washington, extending

Vast Wind Stream in Upper Air
Blamed for Years 7ornodoes

trOugn as CIle waves move across
and above the country. But it's
deep this spring, and that's what
has caused the trouble.
Here's why:
This deep trough-repeated
over and over again as the
planetary waves rise and fall in
this springs characteristic pat
tern-tends to pull cold air down
from the Arctic regions. Mean
while, the planetary wave pulls
warm, moist air northward from
the tropics.
At the boundary" of these
opposing masses of cold and
warm air are conditions for de-
velopment of poor weather which
can move on, eastward and
northeastward. In fact, there
usually are squalls and storms
when two such large opposing
masses come together.
The reason there's been so
much poor weather this spring
in the East is because the plane
tary wave pattern has caused a
repetition of these conditions
over and over again.
You can see the storm tracks"
start near one of the low points
of the trough in the Southwest.
One line of them extends east
erly and then northeasterly. the
other rises almost directly In a
northerly direction.
Cause Of Pattern Unknown.
These storm tracks" are inter-
mittent areas of low pressure
which tend to produce rainy
weather, although there may be
periods OF, fair weather in be-
tween the passage Of a given
low-pressure area over a given
spot. At any rate, these low
pressure areas are linked with
conditions set up by meeting OF
the masses Of cold and warm air.
Weathermer1r don't know ex-
actly why the planetary wave
pattern which produced these
conditions has taken the form
that it did this year.
One theory is that changes In
the pattern (from year to year
and from time to time within a
year, are in some way tied up
with varying effects of solar
radiation. But weathermen say
nothing precise has been worked
out.
Now, about the abnormal num-
ber of tornadoes the Nation has
been experiencing this year.
Blamed for Tornadoes.
Weathermen contend the
planetary wave pattern Of the
present year can be blamed, at
least in large part, for the tor
nado situation in the South.
Southeast, Midwest and north
eastward as well as. for the wet
weather in the East.
The accompanying map shows
the general area afflicted by tor
! nadoes during April and May.
DR.. Namias says the storm
tracks" shown in both maps,
helped contribute to the develop
ment Of tornadoes.
Weathermen say moist air
brought up from the south with
the aid of the planetary wave
current constitutes one Of the
basic conditions that lead to
tornadoes. Also. the cold air
pulled down from the north by
the same planetary wave condi-
ton is a second. basic tornado
breeding phenomenon, provided
other conditions are present.
One such latter condition Is
a tongue" Of cold. dry air NOV
ing easterly across the country
