Honor

whose father, W. P. Arant, was first
superintendent of Crater Lake na
tional park, was honored at a recent
meeting of the Legion of Guards
men when he was presented with
an honorary membership In the or
ganization. Arant waa born In Oregon and
has spent his entire lifetime here.
Many years ago he adopted Klam
ath county as his home. His fath
er, W. F. Arant, became superin
tendent of Crater Lake national
Bark In August, 1802, shortly after
le park was created by an act of
congress, Grandfather of Early
Arant, Jesse Arant, was a member
of a militia company known as
Minute Men during the Rogue River
Indian war In 1BS5 and participated
In a number of skirmishes In de-
fense of settlers who were living in
that section. W. P. Arant served
for five years In the Oregon state
militia, one year as a private, one
year as company bugler, two years
aa first sergeant and one year as

with the same troop during the
same time as their father but held
official positions, one acting as
bugler and the other as a corporal.

Taxas Blast Was
Minor To Atomic
MOUNT VERNON. Wash.. April
19 lAV-The exuloslons at Texas
City, Tex., this week represented
only a fraction of the force of even
the earliest type of atomic bomb,
Prof. Joseph Henderson of the Uni
versity of Washington told the Jun
ior chamber of commerce here to
day. Professor Henderson, who partici
pated In the Bikini tests, said the
underwater blast had revolution
ised scientific and military think
ing on tlie use of the bomb. Used
UKnlnsl coast cities, he said, the
bomb could achieve maximum de
struction and seven bombs If used
efficiently could virtually wipe out
the seven major west coast porta In
the United States and Canada.
One bomb In Seattle's Elliott
bay, Henderson added, would
throw up a wall of water high
enough to sweep over West Seattle
and capltol and Queen Anne hills,
flooding everything with radio
active water.
