fatalities -on continental U. S.

First shock of the Jap balloon
explosion has passed in - the

curred. Despite censorship, Bly
people, of course, have known
from the beginning that it was
an enemy bomb that brought
tragedy to five families of the
town. " ,

driving the car to Salt springs
to park it for lunch. The others,
walking, found the balloon, and
not knowing of its danger,
somehow manipulated it so that
it exploded. Rev. Mitchell, hear

the discovery, had just called a
