Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON July 28, 1948 TIGHTENING OF CURFEW OPERATION EYED , A new ordinance putting teeth Into present curfew regulations and one designed to regulate the operation of skating finks were Introduced at the meeting of the city council Monday night. Chief (novation of the curfew ordinance Is the provision that parents or guardians of chil dren guilty of violating the or dinance may be subject to pun ishment as well as the children themselves. A penalty of a fine not less than $10 nor more than $100 is Incorporated. There was some discussion of tha age and time limit named In the ordinance, Councilman A H. Bussman pointing out that there are many boys under 18 who are forced to be on the streets after 10 o'clock by the necessity of going to or return ing from work. On reconv mendation of the council, Police Judge Leigh Ackerman was in- structed to Insert a clause ex cepting such minors from pro visions of the ordinance on con dition that they were not found loitering on the streets. Time Limit The ordinance introduced to regulate skating rinks set their closing time at 10 p. m. week nights and 11 p. m. on Satur days with the specification that a large sign be posted in each such place stating that "minors are not allowed in this place after 9:45 p. m." It also makes the employment of a matron in such establishments mandatory, to protect the interests of young er patrons and aid in maintain ing proper order. Infractions of the ordinance were made subject to a fine of from $10 to $100 and, 'if deem ed necessary by the council, the revocation of the license to operate. Out of discussion which fol lowed the reading of the ordi nance, came the recommenda tion by the council that .it be emended to provide that the ma tron should be approved by city authorities and . that special parties for adults only might De held after regular closing hours if permission were grant ed in advance by the police chief. The ordinance regulating the transportation of petroleum pro ducts passed its second reading and the one designed to correct abuses rising from improper gar- rjage aisposal was given final approval and will become ef fective immediately. Penny Arcade Sought Louie Polin's application for 4300 license to operate a pen ny arcade in connection with his place on Seventh and Main streets was presented to the council by U. S. Balentine in Polin's absence from the city. In pointing out that the appli cation should not be obstructed by a city ordinance prohibiting licensing of such places on Main street, Balentine said Polin plan ned to operate it from the Sev enth street entrance to his store with no display visible from Main street. Consensus among council members was that as long as there was an entrance on Main street, it would come under the prohibiting ordinance. . Asked if Polin intended to partition off the penny arcade from- the rest of his store, Bal entine was unable to say, and the council voted to table the application until further in formation on the matter was available. Police Judge Ackerman pre sented a problem growing out ol me increased cost of prison ers meals, which has been raised from 25 to 32 cents.

ABOARD FORTRESS BOMB ER EN ROUTE FROM KISKA, June 26 Ten minutes ago our bomb bay doors opened and dis gorged two tons of dynamite on the Japanese tent city of Kiska island. Nine minutes and forty-five seconds ago the first bomb struck down there under the mist. At two-second intervals the others followed and laced through Kis ka's tundra valley with the in sensate fury of TNT. The yellow painted 900-pound packages have done such work as high explosive and flying steel can do, and by now, one sup poses, the living are counting the dead. ... . We are not waiting for that roll call. For seven minutes we dived through soup so thick, our Japanese playmate in the fighter plane did not care to follow. And that ended the 50-caliber atten tions with which he had favored us during the hour and ten min utes we spent over the target. 10 Feet Off Two minutes have passed since we broke through the bottom of the mile-deep Aleutian fog and now we are boring along ten feet off the water bound toward our base many hundred of miles away somewhere in the Aleutians. Thus another bombing raid on Kiska comes to as successful a conclusion as any raid can hope for in this world's worst flying weather. Back in the fortress' lean body the gunners are stowing their guns and making slurring remarks about the Jap and his fighter plane. The major, squadron leader and captain of this plane, has given the wheel to the second pilot with a word of caution to "keep her on the pin" and out of those grey seas ripping past below. Hitting the water at this speed would be like .flying into a -stone wall. r ; The bombardier has covered that delicately deadly tool of his craft, the bombsight, and now he's loafing in his little chair splitting his attention between a chocolate bar and a canteen of water. The radio operator is asking about the. weather ahead as if he didn't know. Beside me in the glass nose section the blond young navigator has put aside his machinegun and is busy . with his charts, plotting us home along as blind and deadly a course as any plane has flown. Odd Ways of War I am hunkered up beside him between the drift indicator and the two-by-four chart t a b 1 e, scribbling this sub-sectional box score and having time now to speculate on the odd ways of a war that brought both us and the Japs here to dispute a black and useless rock that nobody but the seals wants. . This one attack of many at tacks began to take form an hour and forty-five minutes ago when the major shoveled on the coal and heaved the big bomber up out . of what had until then passed for visibility. We, roared into the soup in steady grind ing climb and for seven endless minutes we bored through thick gray nothing with no top and no bottom. Then we broke through into another world of unearthly beauty. "That Island" Below on either side and be hind lay the billowy top of the fog, so blinding white in the sun that it burned your eyes. Poking through the soup under, the left wing in justification of the nav. igator's mysterious jiiiu lay one black flank of the peak the charts call Sennsopochnoi. Long ago the bombers gave it up as an impossibility and simply call it "that island. The soup behind was solid tor a thousand miles but ahead the unbroken new-snow sheen of mist showed overhanging crass and valleys and streaks of blue that meant ragged spots and maybe holes to bomb. Somewhere under that weird panorama lay Kiska and on Kis ka were the men we have' come miles to'kill. We still climbed,' going up where the air was thin and. cold and rare as champagne. It struck you that this was as good a set. ting as any for sudden death. There wasn't any comfort in the thought. Still hot in your mind was the radioed report of a Catalina f Ly ing boat that had been here two hours ahead of us. Somewhere back In the mist the Catalina was limping home now with half its controls-shot away, carrying two wounded men and' a . dead one. You didn't know who they were and. you wondered .if the dead man was one;of those .with whom you bad shared a tent the night before. The-Catalina had met a Jap fighter over Kiska.' - Ack-Ack Got Him You remembered., too. the bomber that came over like this ten days ago. A scrao of ackack got him in the bomb load and he went down like a meteor.- you found your mouth full of ashes and your hands drinnina swear.: xou wondered how it would be when it came. What did comei came quietly. You would not ha-e believed it could begin so casually. "There's youf mountains". tha 'whiskery bombardier said, point ing aneaa. xou naa time to note his peaceful calm.
