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.

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.
