attack. It is expected to free fleet
submarines from target duty
during training exercises, SUBJ
stantially increasing the effici-
ency and striking power of the
undersea arm.
Called the x21B12 submarine
simulator, the device was design
ed and developed for the U. S.
Navy's Training Device Center
at Port Washington, New York,
by the Ordnance Division Of
Clevite Corporation, Cleveland.
1t provides both air and fleet
units with an inexpensive and
tame enemy submarine" for
training purposes. "The Navy's
aim," according to an official an
nouncement, 'is for each ship
in the Anti-Submarine Fleet to
have its own target aboard"
SimulatOr Programmed
The submarine simulator is
programmed before launching to
follow a complicated series of
tactical maneuvers. Propeller,
machinery and other noises
which submarine would make
during evasive action are faith
fully reproduced and transmit
ted. In addition, search signals
from anti-submarine vessels are
picked up and amplified to sim
ulate Sonar contact with full
sized submarine.
In making the announcement,
Clevite said that the decoy can
be launched from shipboard or
submarine, or from a helicopter.
It's endurance ranges up to SIX
hours. After its run is complete,
its surfaces and gives off a smoke
signal so that it can be retrieved.
Navy Research
The Naval Training Device
Center, sponsor of the X21Bl2,
is a facility Of the Office of Naval
Research. Among Naval person
mel who contributed to the de-
coy's development are j. Gordon
Vaeth; John c. Teszak; Peter A.
Ferrandino; Albert Chester;
Anthony, and Commander John
A. SWank.
Clevite Ordnance Division also
designed and developed the
Mark 43 anti-submarine torpedo,
now in operational fleet use by
the Navy. Vance F. Boswell, head
of its Targets and Decoys Sec
ton, directed Clevite's work or
the device.

created park.
The committee is endeavoring
to utilize all available equipment,
and it was discussed at a recent
meeting Of the commission to
move the swings and playground
equipment from the old athletic
field to the new park.
An area will be set aside for
various types of sports activities.
A basketball court will be laid
out and banking boards will be
erected for the youth to continue
this sport during the summer on
an open court. Other types Of
recreational equipment, such as
volley ball and tennis courts will
eventually become a part of the
program planned by the COM
mission.
Landscaping the area is
scheduled to start as soon as
weather conditions permit. With
the enlargement of the park
itself, by allocating additional
ground for future development,
Crock & Schafer have provided
an area which will be used for
parking automobiles without
affecting the proposed recrea-
tional plans.
The one-acre lake, located
within the confines of the park
area, has been stocked with fish.
Although fishing is not expected
to be feature attraction of the
park, the lake itself provides an
appropriate setting which adds
to the areas general attractive

profession, and to safeguard the
aims of the interscholastic activi-
ties program among member
schools.
During the past several
decades that you have devoted
to public education and to inter-
scholastics, phenomenal progress
has been recorded. Most all of
the developments have had your
active cooperation all have
had your personal encourage
ment but many of the most
significant ones have been due
to your wise and efficient partici-
patton as a member of the Con-
stitution and Bylaws Committee,
as we'll as your leadership in
forming and securing adoption of
sound rules and regulations.
thousands of children have
been protected by the guild
ing principles which have en-
abled them to render better serv-

under your leadership.
Friendly ties between student

couraged and strengthened by
the wisdom with which you
formed policies and administered
the program.

out of hearts filled with admira-
ton and affection for you as
educators, as leaders, and as
friends"

Editorial
ANOTHER LEVEL OF SCHOLARSHIP
ALTHOUGH A NUMBER Of scholarships and
prizes have been won by outstanding graduates of the.
high school here, the number is by no means enough to-
meet the need. This is not to say that everybody should
win a prize, or that scholarships should be distributed
without regard to qualification or ability. That would
defeat the very purpose Of both the prizes and the schol-
arships, and make mockeryo of scholastic effort.
WE IN THESE Islands need two things in educa-1
ton. First, we need more scholarship aid. AS things now
stand only the topmost students have the rernotest posi-
biity Of getting to college, unless he can pay his own
way. It is true that the outstanding students will be TAX
en- care Of, anyway, but there are grades Of scholastic
achievement, and there ought to be another plateau
which would reward those who did not quite make the
first rung. An example of this would be the student who,
after diligent effort and application, came out a few
points below his next highest competitor.
THE SECOND situation embraces the student who,
for all practical purposes, shows every indication Of
making a real contribution to his community, and the
worldin which he lives He is not brilliant in the COM
mon and accepted sense Of the word. On the other hand,
he is by no means foolish or inept.He is a good student.
He has more than the ability to retain what he reads. He
can apply himself, and his ambition will carry him even
further. That is the type Of situation to which this ques
tion. addresses itself.
THE TYPE OF student mentioned here should have
an opportunity for further study where he cannot do 50
on his own. This is not excusivelysa local problem. II is
national in scope, and no less 4 national figure than Pr
Mordecai w. johnson Of Howard University has called
attention to il. So many able students are lost TO the na-
ton because they neither have the means to 60 to cole
lege, nor the ultimate in scholastic achievement to win
scholarships. It wouldbe such q wonderful thing indeed
IL some way could be found to offer aid in this direction.

A big tree was blown up by the
roots and fell across the street,
the top almost reaching us as we
clung for dear life to the fence,
which fortunately was not blown
away. The screams and means
of those who were buried in the
debris were heartrending. Many
of my neighbors houses were
blown down and the occupants
pinned beneath the timbers. My

for safety. 1t was almost filled
with unfortunate victims. About
six were killed and many were
injured.

Along its route in the country
whole farms were totally de-
stroyed, buildings blown down
and fields moved clean of vege-
tation. Corn not only was blown
from the stalks but in instances
was completely husked. Patches
of timber literally were moved
down and barns, straw stacks,
etc., were blown to atoms.
On the farm of Jesse Bush.
three miles from Washington c.
H., blades of straw were found
blown endwise into trees to the
depth of half an inch; and in
another place a piece of pine
fence-board was found with a
piece of tarred paper roofing
driven into it to a depth of three
quarters of an inch and firmly
imbedded. A train of nine cars
and a caboose on the Ohio South
ern railroad was blown off the
bridge on which they were stand
ing. A carload of tin roofing, cor
nices, ETC., from Washington C.
H. was gathered up on a farm
18 miles distant; and an apple
tree in the yard of Mrs. Lou
Harris, the milliner on Fayette
street, was driven from two to
three feet into the ground with
out breaking a bough.
Miss Lucy Pine, a school teach
er, was left in charge of her
sisters two boys and a girl, less
than three years old, and had
put them to bed. When the storm
came she rushed to them and as
the roof was torn off, leaned over
the bed receiving the weight of
a falling joist on her own back
and so saved the children'S lives.
BY pressing down the bed springs
she was able to extricate them
and herself from their perilous
position. Many such stories of
heroism were told.

and the Washington pike was hit
but not destroyed, told his own

When the Winds Came

Residents at Washington Court
House were not worried about
1T - the night of September s,
1885, was unduly warm and the
farmers had needed rain so long
and so badly that the big black
cloud over the town and the
strange phosphorescent one filled
with lightning shooting this way
and that seemed but a promise.
1t was about 7 p. m. and some
said that the big black cloud
dipped down like an elephant S
trunk, first on one side of town
then on the other. Others declar-
ed that it looked like a big, lu-
minouS hornets nest whirling in
the heavens in a frantic fury.
AS the clouds approached the
darkness became intense and the
roar of angry elements seemd
to increase in power. About five
minutes past eight the rain came,
falling in torrents and the storm
burst over the town with a ter
rible roar, amidst which could
be heard the crash of timbers,
the falling of walls and the
smashing of glass while the earth
seemed to reel and sway under
the discordant elements. This
lasted about minute and
the storm passed over but the
rain continued to fall in sheets.
The whole western, southern
and central parts of Washington
c. H. were swept by the storm
and within that area, which in
cluded the business section, very
few houses escaped injury, while
many were entirely destroyed
and the majority seriousl ydam-
aged.
The cyclone originated in
Greene county and moving south
easterly hit Fayette county in
Jasper township, increasing in
power and destructiveness until
lit reached Washington c. H.
about eight o'clock in the eve
ming, leaving nearly total devas-
tation along its 12-mile course.
