THE art of bombing isn't learned in a day. It is an art, and for it men
have to be specially selected and must undergo weeks of constant,
careful training. The job is usually that of the observer to whoni is also
entrusted the task of navigating the ship. He must also know now to
handle the rear guns in a pinch and he must also understand enough
about flying to bring the plane down safely if the pilot is put out of
action. He is probably the least publicized and yet the most important
member Of a ship's crew. The photograph shows a young Canadian
observer at the bomb sight in the belly of a Fairey Battle Bomber, one

Whooping Cough Disease
Should Be Isolated
Speaking of whooping cough and
the need for controlling this child
hood disease. Doctor Geo. W. Cox.
State Health Officer, said today,
that the death rate from whooping
cough in the United Staes increased
in 1941, almos 33 per cent over the
rate for 1940.
"The only source from which the
disease may be contracted is another
case of whooping cough," he stated,
"and isolation of cases must be urfi-
-ersally practiced to prevent spread
o+ the disease."
'Hie infectious agent or germ of
whooping cough is transmitted by

rion of whooping cough is obvious.
The first sign of this disease is
iAnally a dry cough, which persists
night and day and tends to become
more severe- The disease is fully de-

whoop accompany the paroxysm ol
cough. Doctor Cox stressed the fact
■that.children who have whooping
cough must not attend school or come
in contact with other children, until
three weeks after the appearance of
typical signs of the disease;
"Prvention and control of whoop-
i ihg cough, especially among infants
j r.nd small children, may be accom-

Don't Buy Extra Batteries
Unless You Keep Them
Recharged Often
It seciaa quite obvious that the in-
c-ase in the purchase of car batteries
that has been noticable the last two
p onths has not been for immediate
ir.e. This is indicated by the fact
that many of the purchasers took
sitch batteries away in the luggage
compartments of their cars. Some
have even purchased two or three at
one time.
If a car owner has purchased a
battery to put away in anticipation
of using at some future date he
should brinrc it h:v k to the dealer for
recharging every 30 days.
Not all of the car-owning public
realize that a battery is a "perish-
able" iost as much as fresh fruit or
vegetables are perishables. Of course,
yriii can readily notice when fruits
and vegetables become bad but a bat-
tery, left idle for months, looks all
right externally, but its utility may
have utterly vanished-
A battery left in an inoperative
condition deteriorates and becomes
diVhnrged. It becomes sulphnted
merely through standing idle. l!nlr*«
person buying an extra hatlerv
has charring facilities or remembers
to have the batten recharged it t-". |
iilw intervals, it is useless tn store
it awnv. It is a waste of motifv and
i! is a waste -f materials some of
which are vital for our war efforts.
Even battery dealers charge their
nw batteries every 30 day* as do
new car dealers when such cars re-
r- ain on thir premises for a period
longer than a month. But they un-
derstand this, and battery charging
is done on a systematic basis. How-
ever, a car owner is apt to forget to
I eep his extra battery charged- And
the blame for such failure cannot be
laid at the door of the dealer that
sold the battery.
It is both good common sense as
well as patriotic not to purchase a
1 attery until it is actually needed
for your car—and then to have the
i :tterv placed in operation in the
car. It is likewise well to remember
that a car battery is a "perishable"
L:i i' you have such an extra battery
t"t hand, make sure to have it re-
charged periodically to keep it in
rood condition.
