Brad brook, English scholar and faculty member of Girton col lege, Cambridge, England, was a guest of the Oregon Shakespearan Festival's Insti tute of Renaissance Studies last week, and attended the four productions of Shakes peare. "Of course I have heard and read about the Festival for years," Dr. Bradbrook said; "and have long hoped to come here. "The fast playing style here is most striking," she added, "and the free move ment from scene to scene is really beautifully done." On Thursday Dr. Brad brook returned to southern California to complete special research at the Huntington Library. She has been in this country for a year, working in several library collections, including that at the Folger Library, and has also attend ed conferences at various col leges. Productive Scholar An active and productive scholar, Dr. Bradbrook is the author of many volumes, and has made a significant contri bution to the field of English Literature.

They had been members of the Trout Lake Grange in Wash ington.

Mr. and Mrs. Hurley visited Oregon several times before moving from; the San Fernando Valley to Evans Vallev. A discussion of flood con trol and irrigation, in refer ence to past flood damage and current water shortage, brought out the necessity of firanee members taking a more active part by attend ine the Rogue Basin Water Eesources and Flood Control association meetings. Douglas Hart, who has been elected chairman of the Rogue River Community Chest, ad vised the Grange that appoint ments of Grange representa tives should be made as soon as possible so the Community Chest work may be organ ized. Mr, and Mrs. Jimmie King have served on the com mittee for several years. - During the report on agri cultural, it was noted that a new theory concerning bloat in cattle has been advanced Bloat may be an hereditary factor and follow lines of breeding, and the farmer is advised to cull cows to im prove herd resistence to bloat. " A small raise in Grade A milk prices was announced but the drop in milk produc tion caused by dry pastures and the increased cost of prices, will keep the farmer from realizing any profit from the raise. The Home Economics club held a reactivation meeting at the home of the chairman, Mrs. Gladys Boulter, recently. The date for the annual fall carnival was tentatively set for Sept. 19, at the En terprise Grange hall.

In traveling here from Pas adena, Dr. BradbrGok visited the Redwood country of Call fornia. She will conclude her Huntington research this fall and return home to England by the end of September. Everyday Occurence (Editor's note: This is the first in a series of two arti cles discussing the sonic boom. The material was prepared by the office of information lervices, 408th Fighter Group, Kingsley field, Klamath Falls.) By MSGT. CHARLES J. BENNETT Kingsley Field In the growing days of avia tion the sonic barrier was es tablished in the minds of many as some mysterious wall against which an aircraft in flight might shatter and fall to the ground. With the advent of the jet engine, it has become an everyday occurrence for pi lots to' fly through, the sound barrier with only a flick I of an air speed indicator needle to let them know. It is under standable that a person on the ground, hearing the thunder- like clap, still attaches some mystery to this sound which results from flying faster than the speed of sound. The sonic boom-man's jet made thunder clap - has be come the sound of security in today's troubled world. And as the price of increased vigi lance goes up, so will sonic boms get louder and be heard more frequently. Become Commonplace In the near future sonic booms will become as com monplace as the sound of trains rattling through the countryside or trucks rum bling through city streets. An explanation of the cause of a sonic boom is as simple as nature's law of sound. Ba sically, sound is created by wavelets of varying pressure striking the ear. They are the result of any surge of energy. Generally, they can be com pared to the ripples created by a rock thrown into a still pond. Ordinary conversation is actualy a series of pressure wavelets pulsating against the ear, much as the ripples of water gently slap the shore of the pond. Strong Pressure By these standards, an ex plosion is no more . than a strong pressure wave pushed by a sudden strong release of energy. Such a tidal wave of pressure is commonly recog nized as the explosive sound of a dynamite blast or the thunder clap following jagged streaks of lightning during a storm. Descriptive of these strong waves of pressure ijs their name-shock waves. In the days of slower flying aircraft the boom was an iso lated phoenomenon, a stunt performed by a diving fighter pilot to impress a crowd or test an engine. When the plane exceded the speed of sound a loud boom was pro duced, Wut only in a single localized area. Today, airplanes such as the F-lOlBs assigned to the Kingsley field, give birth to these shock waves when in level flight. One Major Wave As the plane's speed reaches the speed of sound, one ma jor shock wave surrounds the nose of the airplane and smaller waves of less inten sity spring from the wing, canopy and tail surfaces, and remain attached there as long as supersonic speed is main tained. Instead of a single sharp boom, there is. a con tinuous roar which crosses the countryside as the plane flies along. Certainly, the speed of the nation's airplanes will con tinue to increase if the avia tion industry is to make ad ditonal progress. It is equally certain that the increased speed will create shock waves and sonic boom of greater in tensity. Swift fighter inter ceptors guarding the nation against possible air attack, for instance, challenge every unidentified plane crossing the nation's borders. They must make their intercept wherever the unknown plane is found and identify it. The sound of thunder has become so commonplace to man that even a thunder clap in the spring is hardly enough to make him register alarm Thunder-like sounds from a clear sky - aviation's sonic boom-should become no more than interesting phenomena heralding the achievement of supersonic flight in the de velopment of military avia tion.
