Gyro instruments, and no pilots flying them who
knew how to use them yet anyway.
They were already using “AT 6’s” for the
“Hurricane Hunters” and there was no doubt about
“no relevancy.”
They all seemed to agree they would take to the
streets to fight draft registration.
The Vietnam War was a very sad experience for
America. Little can now be said in its defense. Hind
-sight, of course, is much sharper than forward vi-
sion.
But this does hot mean that America can
tolerate a growing attitude that everything must fit
an individual’s concept of “his thing” before that in-
dividual can be expected to contribute his share to a
national effort.
This would be much akin to allowing criminals
to choose which statute they would be governed by.
Following the young activist’s logic, the
criminal could appear before the court and plead
that going to prison is against “his thing” so if the
judge doesn’t mind he just won’t accept responsibili-
ty for this crime - - perhaps later when he gets a
chance to decide if murder is in fact a “relevant’’
evil.

We got in sight of the Big Cloud after we were
out of Breckenridge about ten minutes, moving SW,
higher than the ceiling for the Six, and directly on the
flight path on the main front and trailing off in to
what appeared to be a heavy line Squall. The big
front was spewing lightning flashes out the top, and
the main cloud was black all the way down.
It took us about a half an hour to head deep right
far enougn to get toward the back side to where the
wind would be on our tail and to where we finally
found what we were looking for. There was an area in
the cloud formation where the light was coming
stronger than the rest, and Hatch headed for that
hole like a rabbit. We were about ten thousand feet
above sea level, but the rain in that hole was as hard
as I can remember.
We pitched and bucked like a Bronco,
sometimes ascending three thousand feet a minute,
nose down, and other places where we were dropping
that fast in a climb. Nothing but instruments all the
way through, raining like the bottom had fallen out of
the sky, and belted down tight on a hot horse from

It doesn’t take a very long auto trip these days .
to be jolted into the reality of the high cost of travel
energy.
Even a short trip from the Gulf Coast into the
Midwest brings that cost and disturbing ramifica-
tions into focus.
Unleaded gasoline at $1.34 to $1.37 per gallon is
not unusual.
Trips to amusement parks and a favorite lake
can easily ring up a $60 gasoline bill ip the area above
the Ohio River and East of the Mississippi River.
This cost, no doubt, has contributed greatly to a
sharp drop in motor car gasoline usage this year. --
___ One report says use has dropped well over a million
barrels a day. I
But it takes very little investigation to discover
that this high fuel cost has caused more and more
people to violate the laws, especially those doing with
pollution control on vehicles.
It has been found that it is now common prac- •
tice for pickup owners to modify their "unleaded
tank” tank necks to handle cheaper regular fuel. q e • e- p g I • | If
