Dramatic Role
r i if j
V
The screen's latest contribu
tion to filmdom's Hnll of Horror,
"House of Frankenstein," which
comes to the Rialto theatre Wed
nesday thru Saturday, embodies
the three most terrifying super
natural charactors of fiction and
drama . . . the Frankenstein
Monster, the Wolf Man and
Dractila. A vengeful scientist,
portrayed by Boris Karloff, is
the motivating character who re
surrects these unearthly crea
tures, to serve his own evil
purpose.
The film co-stars Karloff with
Lon Chaney, and features John
Carradine, J. Carrol Naish. Anne
Gwynne and others. "Rough
Ridin' Justice," an action story
of the open range, is the com
panion attraction on the excep
tional program.
Paris, Aug. 8 (U.R) The Paris
edition of Stars and Stripes,
army newspaper, charged today
that the war department's new
point-discharge plan favors Pa
cific veterans over those in Eu
rope.
Unless the point requirement
for discharge is lowered, the ad
ditional 700.000 troops slated for
discharge during the next 10
months, which haVe been added
to the initial demobilization fig
ure of 1,300,000, will be pre
dominately from the Pacific be
cause they will be able to ac
cumulate combat credits while
European veterans sit idly by,
the paper said.
The new program calls for de
mobilization by next June of
the last of the 1,300,000 troops
eligible for discharge under the
85-point system, adopted on May
12 and continued under the new
plan.

Isogonic Drafting
Geometry Revealed
Ran Francisco, Aug- 8 (U.R)
Three dimensional drawing to
scbIp has been accomplished for
the first tunc In history by a new
system of geometry called "iso
gonle drafting."
Nelson E. B'ohall, of Eureka
Calif., developed the new Inter
pretation o geometry, which, ex
perts agree, will mean an imme
diate saving of from 20 to 30 per
cent In costs as well as speed
production In western war
plants.
Isogonic Drafting Isogonic
means having equal angles is
replacing the use of traditional
blue prints in western war

Heroism Of Lt. Fred Schere
Described By Crew Members
Letters from two crewmen
participating in the flight over
Germany in which Lt. Fred
Shere Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Shere Sr., was killed over
a year ago, have been received
here by Deputy Marshall Paul
M. Hnlin, friend of the Shere
family. Mr. and Mrs. Shore for
merly lived in Ashland, and
then in Medford at 212 Ivy
street while Mr. Shere was cm
ployed at the Rogue Valley
Transit bus 'terminal. They are
now in Southampton, N. Y., and
expect to return to the valley
this fall.
Both members of Lt. Shore's
crew were recently released
from German prison camps, and
on reaching this country wrote
the lieutenant's parents and his
wife, in Texas, to describe de
tails of the final mission.
S'Sgt. Orlando H. Friescn,
flight engineer, of Fairmont,
Minn., states that on the morn
ing of April 29 1944, the bomb
er crew took off for BeTlin, and
on reaching the target encouter-
ed heavy flak. The plane was
hit, but not seriously, umu
reaching Dumer lake, 100 miles
west of Berlin, on the return
trin. when more flak and fight
ers shot the plane out of control.
Lt. Shere gave the order to pre
pare to bail out, and Friesen
opened the bomb bay doors to
Shere and one other man while
Perseid Meteors
By J- Hugh Pruett
(Pacific Director, American
Meteor Society)
"We bide afield
While mcacors plow
The sultry August nights."
With us again is that delight
ful season which brings the an
nual return of the Perseid
meteors. All who have watched
the clear summer skies during
the hours before dawn can never
forget the thrill of glimpsing
these fleeting bits of flame as,
seemingly coming from nowhere,
they suddenly flash into being
and streak across the night.
Unusually dependable, and
varying little in numbers from
year to year, this display is anti
cipated with pleasure by all who
study the heavens. Dr. Chas. P.
Olivier .of the University of
Pennsylvania, president of the
American Meteor society, is ask
ing for volunteers this month to,
give an hour or more to count
ing meteors- All honest reports
are very helpful to meteoric
astronomy.
Some of these meteors may al
ready be seen, although the
greatest numbers usually appear
on the nights beginning with the
evenings of Aug. 11, 12 and 13.
Late evening counts will then
often give 20 or 30 meteors per
hour. But the best displays
occur during the hour or two
before dawn- On the morning
of maximum, observers favored
with unusually good eyes, clear
moonless skies, total absence of
artificial illumination, and high
altitudes, have glimpsed as many
85 meteors an hour in pre
dawn counts. Normal conditions
result In 40 to 50 an hour.
Dawn will start near 4:45 a.
m. war time at 35 degrees lati
tude, 4:30 a. m. at 40 degrees,
4:00 a. m. at 45 degrees, and 3:30
a. m. at 50 degrees. Moon con
ditions will be unusually favor
able this year as only a crescent
will be in the evening sky. and
even this will set long before
midnight.
For good counts, rerlain rules
must be followed- Find a dark
outdoor spot where artificial
lights do not interfere; seat your
self comfortably in a reclining

the others left the plane. Real
izing that the plane was very
close to the ground, Lt. Shere
motioned the flight engineer to
Jump just in time for his para
chute to open and break his fall
slightly, though he was knocked
unconscious by the impact.
Friescn writes that after he
left the plane, it must have
blown up in mid-air or Lt. Shere
attempted to make a crash land
ing, or if they bailed out the
parachutes failed to open." He
adds, "Lt. Shere kept that ship
up until everyone else was out.
He wasn't looking out for him
self, he was looking out for nine
other men, and even though he is
dead, he still lives with us as a
hero."
Another crew member, Sgt.
Joe Maloy of Montgomery, Ala.,
also writes that Lt. Shere gave
the order to bail out when the
situation became hopeless, and
they all believed that his con
cern over their safety caused
him to remain at his post too
long. "His only thought was
the welfare of the men who
served under him, and we were
all proud of him. I know no one
else would have kept the plane
up as long as he did under the
same circumstances."

tenant's, Bill, is in the army air
corps and expects to be in the

chair; and most important of
all keep your eyes constantly
on the sky.
Although the constellations of
Perseus from which these
meteors seem to radiate will be
in the northeast both in late
evening and morning, yet one
need not look in that direction.
They may be seen in any part of
the sky.
Volunteer counters are asked
to send reports to the present
