BallOOning Not Dangerous

The uninitiated are prone to look upon
the balloon as sort of country fair at

the risk the aeronaut takes This is
mistake.
Like the automobile. the balloon re-
quires the automobile pilot, and when
such a one is in charge, serious or fatal
accidents are never recorded. Most bal
loon clubs require all ascensions to be
made under a regularly licensed pilot,
