SPRING HAS COME
by Ellen Irvin
Ah, well I know that spring has come!
Not heralded by noise of drum—
But singing birds and laughing skies
Dame Nature's planning a surprise.
Sweeter the brook sings on its way,
Greener the grass grows day by day.
The pussy willows, I am sure,
Hang plentiful—a springtime lure.
Buds on the lilac nsar the door
Each day are swelling more and more.
I know that in the forest deep,
There blooms arbutus, pink and sweet.
t love to hear the piping frogs,
That Uvea up 'the meadow bogs.
Yea,  spring has come, the  passing
breeze
la scented with the freeh-plowed fields,
While  planting season's just  ahead
That makes for life and daily bread.

RADIO-CONTROLLED
PLANES IN ATOMIC TEST
Radio-controlled pHotless aircraft,
developed at the Naval Modification
Unit at Johnsville, Pa., will be used
in the forthcoming atomic bomb experiment in the Marshal's this summer.
The planes will fly into the outer
fringes of the gigantic explosion to
record reactions that heretofore
have been supposition. Technicians
and mechanics at the Johnsville
Naval plant have been working at top
speed to get the pilotless craft in
readiness for "Project Crossroads".
As part of the joint Army-Navy
experiment the Naval Aircraft Modification Unit is providing 20 FG-t
pilotless aircraft targets and 20
F6F-5 "mother" planes to direct the
target aircraft by radio. Special instruments will be carried aboard
these planes to obtain recordings of
radio activity.
A PBM flying boat is also being
equipped with special electronic instruments for use in the Atomic bomb
tests. It is believed that weather information will be obtained through
the use of the PBM.
The F6F-3K type is a standard
Grumsn fighter converted into s radio
controlled target plane. The take-offs,
landings, and combat maneuvers are
operated by radio.

Falls Kill Many;
Care Urged
"No other type of accident causes
so many deaths and injuries aa the
common fall," declares Julien H.
Harvey, managing director of the
National Conservation Bureau, accident prevention division of the Association of Casuality and Surety Executives.
"During 1948 and 1944," Mr. Harvey declared, "more deaths resulted
from falls than from automobile accidents, and in 1944 deaths from this
cause nearly reached the staggering
total of 26,000. Except for the group
of infants under five years of age,
falls account for one out of four
of accidental deaths among other age
groups, and for half the. fatal accidents in the home esch year."
Avoiding Falls
Mr. Harvey lists below some of
the more common falls, with appropriate warnings about their usual
causes:
"Falls on stairs and steps are very
common, and usually are caused by
objects left in the path of walkers,
loose or worn carpeting, unanchore*.
small rug at the top of stairs, lack
of handrails, interfering shoes or
clothing, slippery treads or insufficient light.
"Tragedy touches many people
each year from falls on streets and
sidewalks. Hszards such as snow,
ice or other substances which make
ths walking surf see slippery, and
broken paving and sidewalks con-'
tribute largely to outdoor falls.
"Carelessness is nowhere better
demonstrated than in the various
ways, people reach high places in
their work. Rickety ladders, unsafe
chairs, stools snd tables, boxes and
other substitutes result in nu.ny a
broken body in factory and home.
"Gravity can't be overcome, but
many of its hazards can be eliminated
by a little care. Better housekeeping
is needed.**""

QUERY AS TO RANK
DRAWS LEGION IRE
Protesting the consideration of
rank in appraising aspirants to government positions, The American Legion has asked the immediate removal of "superfluous, unwarranted
and irrelevant" questions from civil
service applications.
Upon public disclosure that civil
service form 57 directs each applicant to stipulate his former service
rank, National Legislative Director
John Thomas Taylor of The American
Legion leveled criticism at government officials who "permit a sustained
glare from brass that a man once
wore to blind them to possibilities offered by another man having equal
or superior qualities".
Director Taylor asserted that many
men refused commissions, others were
not afforded equal opportunities in
the civilian army, born of war. Records indicate that many privates held
masters' degrees. The American Legion does not consider a man's service rank any criterion of his ability
and firmly believe that thousands of
Legionnaires who were capable officers do not favor a handicap ana
would protest any discrimination
against former enlisted men. These
men would refuse to gain positions in
this offensive manner through an
nnjust and discriminatory appraisal
system".
