AT thefairport he is all smiles.
He needed little relaxation
anyhow, and looks forward to
enjoying his air journey. His
bap9age is weighed in and he
IS just about to board the plane
when On Army truck rolls up.
A moment later an airway Of
fetal taps him on the shoulder:

convoy was all set to sail. It
could not leave until certain
shipment Of vital parts arrived.
If shipped by freight it would
take a week or more but by
rlanc only few hours. So they
went by plane, and the convoy
moved earrying the precious
supplies to a group of hard
pressed Marines on a far away

BIT Mr.. Big had no knowledge
of this and no one could tell him

the dirty deal the airline pulled

And so it goes. More and more,
private citizens are going to en-
counter like situations. There
will be things they can't get,
things they can't do, increasing
restrictions and incoveniences all
foreign to ANYTHING they ever
experienced. But in most cases
there is a REASON. The extra
cup of coffee you don't drink,
the new tire you turned back,
the phone call that was delayed,
the plane seat you were denied

ton toward winning the war.

But to Clara, the thought of go
