Sonny Perdue announced this week the Governor’s Water Conservation Contest, open to all students in third, fourth and fifth grades. The con test, according to a release, is designed to encourage stu dents to think creatively of ways to conserve water by designing a plan that pro motes water conservation. “I believe that awareness of the water conservation effort has the potential to spread throughout Georgia’s young er generations the way that the campaign for seatbelt use did years ago,” said Perdue. The contest asks students to develop a water conservation plan for their community by describing their proposed project in an essay and draft ing a budget for implementa tion of the project. Students can work on the essay and budget as a class, a grade or as a project by all partici pating grades. The principal of each school will choose one winner to submit to the governor for consideration. Perdue will bring together judges to read submitted pro posals and select the winning plan for implementation. All entries must be received by the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement by Dec. 6. The contest winner will receive a $2,000 prize to be used to carry out the con servation plan in the com munity. day to 478-988-9194.

Without going into great detail, it should be noted that most authors leave out one of the highly successful chap ters in the development and implementation of in-flight refueling as it is routinely practiced today. An extensive article in the October/November 1997 issue of Air and Space magazine covered the first attempts of refueling in flight from 1923 thru the publication date. The author noted that the KB-50J of the Tactical Air Command had probe and drogue capabilities but ended TAC refueling recog nition there. The truth is, from 1953 to 1965 the opera tions of KB-50J/K tankers played a very significant roll in support of the 100-series fighters beginning with the F-100 thru the F-105 and the I First Nov 17 Last Dec 1 Moderate Moderate Moderate Moderate Moderate | 56409 56446 DOT ON THE SQUARE •Stealc ‘Seafood ‘Pasta ‘Pull Service Bar Specializing In Trie “Best Steaks In Town” • 20 oz/ Bone In Ribeye •5> oz.* Filet Mignon • IT oz* New York Strip • IT oz* Prime Rib • Desserts Made Daily • Bull Service Bar • Wine List *IOO% Black Angus, freshly cut by band Lunch: II AM - 2 PM Monday - Friday SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2007 ♦ WiWatson-H unt 1 .

B/RB-66. A KB-50J/K squad ron stationed in England also supported the English Vulcan bomber as well as NATO fighters in that theater. In fact, TAC operated around the world moving fighter aircraft in large num bers wherever they were needed. These operations were known as the Composite Strike Force. Tactical Air Command tankers com manded from the 4505th Air Refueling Wing at Langley AFB in Virginia, supported an overseas deployment in the summer of 1958 with such speed and precision that TAC and the 4505th ARW were awarded the prestigious McKay Trophy. TAC operated four squad rons in the U.S. The 427th AREFS activated at Robins AFB in October 1956, later transferred to Langley along with the 429th AREFS. Two additional squadrons were located at England AFB in +7B-988-5W SO/ Carroll Street ( across from old courthouse - Downtown Perry) 4/trays rernentftrrcrf Louisiana and Biggs AFB in Texas, the 622AREFS and the 431st AREFS, respective ly. The overseas squadrons were the 421st AREFS in Yokota, Japan and the 420th at Sculthorpe, England. The TAC Tanker Association, Southern Chapter, which meets at the Warner Robins Cracker Barrel, recently recognized that organization for, accord ing to a release, “their fine service” to the chapter from September 2004 through October of this year. fIfffTRESS SETS Supreme Bedding: Twin $109: Full $129: Qn. $179: King $239: We also have Frames & Pillowtops.
