Did you see in the paper
the other day where the Los
Angeles County Air Pollution
Control officers went down to
the International Airport to en
force the new State law which
prohibits aircraft from spew-
ing too much smoke into the
air? They stationed themselve
strategically at each runway,
binoculars and stop-watches
in hand, to catch the carbon-
spewing jets ... but they found
they had a bit of a problem;
the smog was so bad it was
hard to see the aircraft, much
less the exhaust! No citations
were issued and the inspector
returned to headquarters to
mull over what to do next in
the Smog Capital of the World

“Once upon a time there
was a teacher who didn’t want
an increase in pay; a carpen-

wages; a man who healed the
sick and afflicted whether they
had insurance or medicare or
whether they didn’t; who tra-
veled around the country feed
ing the people, and they cruci
fied him.”
