The blasts of atom bombs
have startled the world. This
has been more true of H-bombs
than of those which went be-
fore. The explosions have
aroused widespread excitement.
The larger and larger bombs
remind me of the bigger and
bigger cannon crackers which
boys used to explode in the
United States. These grew in
size-from one Fourth of July
to another-until a halt was
called. Many boys and some
girls were injured by explosions.
Laws to forbid cannon crackers
came into force.
Cannon crackers may be de-
scribed as nothing" in COM

dropped during the second World
