OLD FORT NEWS New Stopwatch To Aid Hunters 0 Counter Chronograph To Provide Data On Bullets Speed. o A super-stopwatch that clocks action at a hundred-thousandth of one second has been put to work to help sportsmen become better hunters and target shots- The device, which uses electron ic vacuum tubes similar to those in a radio, is called a counter chronograph, and is an adaptation of one of the intricate tools de veloped by nuclear physicists to count atomic disintegration in atom-smashing experiments. Its peacetime role of providing sim ultaneous checks on the velocity and accuracy of rifle bullets was announced March 25 in the maga zine Sports Afield. In describing accuracy tests conducted here by the Western Cartridge company. More accurate ammunition for sportsmen is expected to result. Heart of the apparatus is a pair of photoelectric tubes fixed a measured distance apart. Their sensitive surfaces are exposed to sunlight or artificial illumination. As a bullet passes over the first one it blocks light from the tube for “an instant and starts the counting device. The counter stops as soon as the bullet inter rupts the light striking the sec ond tube. The interval of time is registered immediately by oth er lights on the counter’s front panel. The panel lights tally up the number of electronic impulses emitted by the counter in the in terval that the bullet took to pass between the photoelectric tubes. Each electronic impulse lasts one hundred-thousandth of a second, a job far beyond the capabilities of any electrical or mechanical coun ter. A bulls-eye target at the end of the test chamber records the accuracy of the bullet and the combination of the two tests en ables determination of the effect of velocity upon accuracy. Previ ously separate bullets were need ed for the two tests. The device was first used by the war department during the war to test ammunition. It also can be used to time watch rates, camera shutters, as an echo depth timer, and for other purposes re quiring split-second checking too rapid for mechonical counters. Old Fort Singing 0 Tht Rev. Floyd Wilson, pastor of Wesleyan Methodist church at Mt- Hebron, near Old Fort, has an nounced Sunday, March 31st, as a day of special singing at his church.

Taxi skids into lamp post and kills fourteen passengers. “I need a holiday,” said the cashier. “I’m not looking my best.” “Nonsense,” said the boss. “No, it isn’t nonsense; the men are beginning to count their change.” Visions o There’s a light that is shining way out yonder, In a land that’s so far across the sea, And it makes no difference where I’m called to wander, That bright light is shining there for me. In the stillness that is just before a battle, When the boys turn their thoughts way beck home, I can see that light shining brightly, It will guide me where ever I roam. There are other lights shining out there also, And too me they mean more than my life, But there’s one whose brightness dims the others, It’s the one that guides me through this world of strife. Those bright lights are the vis ions of my loved ones: Mother’s vision being the bright est of them all. I can see her as she prays too God in Heaven, To be with her boys wherever duty calls. There’s a light that is shining way out yonder, In a land that’s so far across the sea, And it makes no difference where I called to wander, That bright light is shining there for me.

Spring Again you are welcome sweet spring With your gay colored birds to sing, And the pretty blossoming trees Giving sweet perfume to the breeze. In spring, the violets we meet Little for-get-me-nots so neat, Trailing arbutus on the hills, And in the garden, golden jon quils. Spring, the earth forgets its sad ness When you come with joy and glad ness. Nearer seem the beautiful hills And clearer are the rippling rills. Refreshing are the spring show ers Doing good for pretty flowers. Your sunshine is so warm and bright Seems everything should grow right. Pleasant days spent beneath blue sky Looking at white clouds drifting by. Peaceful nights with bright stars and moon, O dear spring, don’t leave us too soon. —Lois Dixon. c & W MOTOR CO.
