Bill Brown Star Athiete Overseas A Public Relations bulletin is- suod at beadquarters, Kingston, M.D. 3, Tuesday, releases this in- formation: Twa saldier athletos ai Military District No. 3 were among those who established records at sports meets in Canada and averseas. Lieut. W. J. Brown, Bowman- ville, was a member ai the over- seas 440-yard relay team which established the 44 4-0 second re- cord for that distance. The Can- adian pale vault record was estab- lished at a sports meet staged by the army training centre at Corn- wvall, when Cadet J. H. Moore, then ai the Officers' Training Centre, Brockville, sailed over the bar at 11 feet, 6 inches. Lieut. Brown is a son ai J. J. Brown, Supt. af the Boys Train- ing School. He graduated at the Officers' Training S ch ooa 1at Brockville and accarding toala recent letter received by his par- ents is now in Italy.1 The press and radia only recent- ly have given dramatic publicity ta the "new racket plane" now ready ta take its destructive force against the Nazi powers. For some manths past the "racket gun" has been used by the Nazis against bombing and fighting planes of the Allies over Ger- many. The "racket" principlo bas long been known but only re- cerîtly has its patentialities been develaped as a practical force. In the Septembor issue oi the maga- zine, 'Mecbanics Illustrated, Major Seversky, noted plane de- signer, bas an article descriptive ai the new racket plane. It is likely that much will bc heard ai it in the future. The Statesman reporter, baving hoard ai a local inventor wba bas for years been working on the idea, called ta get bis opinion ai the mucb lauded invention. This man is Banner B. Furber, Queen St., East. ex-cauncillor and resi- dent in Bowmanvilhe since 1925. From bim a wealth ai information was obtained in regard ta the racket principle. More than that, a madel ai bis invention was in- spected and vohuminous carre- spandence witb gavernments and industrialists was inspected at bis home. Fram all this it is apparent that be bas not only pioneered in the principle but bas long ago con- structed a workable model af the racket engine. But in bis attempts ta interest those who now laud the invention he received the cold shoulder all along the line. Mr. Furber wrote an article, "The Engine ai Tomarrow" wbich ante-dated that ai Seversky, but was not published. In termin- olagy and plans it anticipated al that Soversky bas written anly rocently. And tbe gun as well as the plane now prominently in the present picture, parallels Mr. Fur- bor's invention. Such, it seems, is the fate ai obscure inventors. No one without a prominent name can get the ear or interest ai those in autbority. The racket principle is one ai explosions that prapel forward either projectile or plane in a cantinuing series. The racket plane needs no prapoîhor ta "pull" (Contlnued on page 4) v. 4.'%, = S ýail' ark iter- sol- lick af ght, iad ýhes )eo- t s re- hes nd bo hes un- slit 1ly of ent the ns the re- ce, .is 3tb an. rxg t.
