A Welcome to Veterans
! VctcranH of a war of another century, men who car
ried into dark places of tho world the Htory of American
democracy and its ideals of freedom, are guestn of Bund
this week.
; They are the United Spanish War Veterans Amer
icans youths of the fading yearn of the 19th century whose
waving flags over Santiago, Havana, San Juan and Man
ilatmarkcd the dawn of this country's leadership in the
world.
It was these men, now the aging veterans of the
Spanish-American war and the Philippine insurrection,
whb dramatically ended at Santiago, Cuba, the rule of
onij of the world's mightiest empires, that of Spain.
! It was from the battle smoke of Santiago and Manila
bn, where the Spanish fleet was annihilated with an
American loss of only one man killed and eight wounded,
that America emerged as a world power.
;' Engaged In the war with Spain were about 488,000
men. Their losses in deaths from all causes were 4.3 per
cent, compared with six tenths of one per cent in Ameri
, ca's next big conflict, World War I.
- The men who battled Spain and who fought in the
Philippine jungles faced an
days as the bullet. That enemy was disease.
The United Spanish War Veterans has a member
ship at present of about 50,000. It is still an imposing fig
ure, considering the fact that it represents an organiza
tion that is not being bolstered by recruits from other
wars.
But each year ranks are decimated by some -100
deaths. Oregon members who died in the past year
were memorialized at services here Sunday evening.
f Bend is proud to serve as host for four days to the
veterans who, as soldiers and sailors in the long ago
ptyyed such an important part in shaping the destiny of
their nation. They are the men who altered the course
of empires and made America a leader in world affairs.
A Feeder Airline
Some months ago United Air Lines, which now
servcH the Central Oregon area, landing at tho modern
Kedmond airport, asked permission from the appropriate
government agencies to discontinue the Central Oregon
route.
, ". Coincdentally, West Coast Airlines asked for per
mission to add the Kedmond airport to the list of stops
it.'now makes in Oregon.
I Recently we flew a flight, our first, with West Coast.
Iljiving flown on feeder lines before, tho trip served to
refresh our memory of the type of operation.
I . The trip ran from Portland to Lewiston, Idaho, and
I'jturn.
The plane was boarded in Portland, and until it
tiached Yakima there was no diffei 'once between the
r)ght and any flown by one of the larger lines, excepting
Hat there was a pleasant young mail (o pass out the
fltewing gum and pick up tickets instead of the pretty
stewardesses you have come automatically to expect on
ptanes.
. The plane was a Douglas DC-3, the same as used by
I'nited in this area.
I When you hit the Yakima field, however, it was
'sy to see where the difference lies. We were there for
t;n minutes, and during that lime our. baggage was un
loaded from one plane, put into another, the passengers
mm a cup ol cotfee and were
take off. Speed on the ground, and lots of it, was the key
tci the operation.
! When we landed at Pasco the speed was even more
evident. The starboard, or right, engine of the nlnne nev-
ft stopped. The port engine
passengers unloaded and new passengers and haggngi
pjit on. The port engine was started again and wo rolled
ot.nn me runway toward the
three-fourths minutes after
. ine trip was safe and
pleted without incident.
; A passenger would not want to ride a feeder airline
oji u trip of more than three or four hours. No meals are
served, and the iakeoffs and landings are pretty frequent.
1'jor these, the big planes, with speeds of around UiSO milit
per hour, are just the ticket.
, But on short hops, the
a. day s business or shopping in another city, or to get
yju to a major terminal, the feeders seem to be the an
swer. And West Coast Apparently runs a good operation.

Transistor, Wee Battery Team

mercury' battery, its teammate. 11
is almost as small.
Yet these two midgets work ra
dios. fire shells, run airplanes and
iperate mechanical brains.
One of these days the entire po
pulace may carry in its pockets
a battery - operated emergency
communication device no bigger
than a match box. In case of dis
aster everyone could tune in on
central communication wave bands
such as Conelrad. for instructions,
thanks to the two tiny mites. !
The transistor is smaller than
a 50-for-a-nickle fire cracker. The
mercury power cell is smaller tnan '
a dime. ;
Wnen the transistor was oriKi-i
nated in Bell Laboratories it op :
ened the ay to making electri-
cal devices smaller. With this
came the opportunity to cut loose
from line current as a source ol
power when tiny, but powerful bat
teries were developed.
As the transistor becomes a
more satisfactory substitute for
'he vacuum tube, more and mor.'
'rticies appear on the mai'ket,
miniature copies of larger useful
devices. Since they use current in
simple way, they can be pow
ered by the mercury batteries
such as those being made from
dime size to cigarette size by Gen
eral Dry Batteries. Inc.
Store windows are showing ai;
increasing number of miniatur-
radios from the size of a cigarette
pack on up. The transistor-mercury
cell team makes them next
to impossible to break or wear
out.
There's a wire recorder no larg
er than a movie camera that you
can wear under your coat with a
mike strapped to your wrist. An
other company makes a paging
device for large crowds. Clipped
to the lapel it makes audible calls
from a central broadcasting cen
ter. Doctors carry a similar little
box with them. An impulse on a
special frequency makes a buzz
with the doctor's code signal and
the doc knows he should get on
the nearest phone.
In all situations where electri
cal equipment ran be freed from
"plugging in," the transistor-mercury
pony team takes over. In
flight, particularly with rockets
where weight is important, they
are invaluable. They turn gears,
work recording devices, push but
tons and broadcast data to listen
ers on the ground.
Acting as detectives is another
growing field. Little boxes includ
ed in railroad shipments will de
tect delays or rough handling. On
trucks, the driver's entire day can
be traced including time-out for
phone calls to his girl friends.
Deep in the earth on the points
of gas well drills, the diminutive
team broad"as;s what's going o;i
to the surfaee.

Taking A Vacation

By Betty Skflloii,
If you're vacationing with the Kicts mis summer, yuu re pro

special police lo prevent the little ones from becoming little de-

No Toys
Don't bother taking toys along.
They usually clutter up the car
and provide little entertainment
lor excited youngsters.
Treats like candy, popcorn.
and gum. are a help if stored in
the glove compartment and
doled out with discretion.
To avoid frequent stops for
drinks, take along a big thermos
of. cold water or carbonated
drink, along with plenty of pa
per cups. .
There are a lot of good ways
to divert rfheir attention from
the fact that they are con
demned to sit in oitc place for
hours at a stretch.
Little children who haven't
traveled much will enjoy having
the unusual sights along tne
road pointed out to them. And
they like to play games like- the
one where each child counts the
number of cows on his side of
the road, and the one who gets
the most cows in a certain time

There is an alternative to all
this that is especially recom

Start by loading suitcases on
the floor of the back seat un
til they are level with the seat.
Then place a crib or youth bed

children dressed in pajamas,
pillows, and blankets. Start dviv
ing about 7 or 8 p.m. Drive for
six hours at 50 miles per hour,
and by 1 a.m. you'll have gone
aproximately 300 miles while the
children slept.
Of course, there's always the
chance you'll have one of those
days when nothing works. When
you're a mere 20 miles on your
way. they'll start asking, "Are
we almost there?" This question
will be thrown at you every 5
