With In the last few years the In discriminate and ndauthbiiaed use of the dmg and lU deriwatlves has in- ersastd to such an extent that It has become alarming to the medical pro- feeskm and, authorities as a whole.

W. Blackburn, now commander of Shaw FlMd ~mt Sumter. In IntrodueiBg the speeker to the Qub, Major Koraegay told of Colonel Blackburn’s long aerviee tn the avter tion branch of the servlee, which dates back to War No. 1, whan oar army had only a handful of (lysrt. Colonel Blackburn was one of fits aviators to carry out the program of General Billy Mitchell, who said that battleships could be sunk by bomba from a plane, and the successful demonstration took place off the coast of Virginia. Colonel Blackburn rose to the nmk of Brigadier General before the end of the war and was in charge of the Third Air Force in Europe, an im portant assignment The speaker told of the progress that had been made In aviation, es pecially during the past six years. He said prior to War No. 2 that planes were not* supposed to go on missions over 200 miles, and now ths B-26 has a cruising radius of 10,000 miles. He said up until six years ago that some authorities said that ptei would never win a war. He said that the planes had pounded Japan so heavily that they surrendered before we could land an army. Colonel Blackburn told of ths world uarest and what another war would mean, with plane# capable ot cnfialBR 18,000 miles and dropping an atomic bomb, and such range no longer has America tree from an air Invasion. Heretofore we fait that the two oeeiuui ware our protection, but that Is not the easp aew. Hs referred to the terrific spee4 of the V-SO, which can do 800 miles aa hour, Hs told of Jet plaaes that mow can do 8000 mllea an hour. He said with such terrific speeds sod cruising radius, that no country In tho-world la free frtnn possible attacks with raguter plaaes, robot plsnee or je planes, all loaded with powerful bomba or atomic bootee. 'Me igiR |L««i,vMptaMte Mr L . land that the armies landed oo D-Day and captured ths bsess whurs rsbot iMBubs were launched, sad he i the Germane ware (hr ahead ot other nations in the development ot Jet planes, and the destruction of the Isnnchlng bases was most sssentisl to saving England from a terrible pound- teg. He said America would not be vul nerable from terrlfio air attacks In the event of another war, and that ths development of high spe^ planes and planes with kwg ranges has not slow ed up since the ending of the war, nor has the development of explosives of devastating nature been slowed np. He thinks world peace Is most es- sentlsl with ths dsstmctlve weapons now available, which will throw civilisation out of gear for gsnsratlona to come. Colons Blackburn’s talk was wall received by the clnb and many com mented afterwards on the word pte- tures he presented ee to the dev^op- ment of' aviation and lta‘ possibilities for destruction of nations that want ■or do Bot waat psoee.
