Nearly everyone has blessed
a cool summer breeze on those
South Georgia scorchers in
July, but this is the first time I
can honestly say I hate the
wind.

(USPA) ruling states that
first-time jumpers cannot make
a jump if there is more than a
five-mile-an-hour ground wind.
I waited from 10 a m. until
6 p.m. for the zephyrs to
abate, got sunburned, and
nearly starved to death, but
evidently I angered Acolis, and
the winds continued to gust all

THE JUMP field is just
outside of McDonough, and is
operated by the Greene
County Sport Parachute club
(GC'SPAI. It is a beautiful
300-400 acre ex-paslure as

grass and surrounded by trees.
J he dub has operated the
field for only two weeks and
has improved the area until it is
one of the finest drop zones in
the South.
The facilities include a
landing strip (The club also has
Carter agrees

The Rev. Ralph Abernathy,
president of the Southern
Christian Leadership
Conference. called the
President’s action
“self-defeating. It is deadly
dangerous to the entire world
and it is in contempt of the
will of the American people
who want to end the war. not
escalate it."
