Graeme Hurry of Coven-
try, England, was in no big
hurry to call it a day—or
night- after camping out.
On June 19, 1978, he com-
pleted four years of sleeping
under the stars and eclipsed
his own world record set
exactly three years earlier.

Trim your lawn to help
your air conditioner work
more efficiently.
Keep grass, weeds and
other growth away from the
unit to allow free air flow
and top efficiency, says Sue
Young, a housing and home
furnishings specialist with
the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, The
Texas A&M University
System.
Of course, trees over the
unit to shade it also will help,
since they keep the unit itself
cool, she adds.
Raul Hinojosa, III, is to
serve as Senior Patrol
Leader, and Ruben Mar-
tinez, Jr. as an Assistant
Senior Patrol Leader.
Transportation for the
outing was provided by

hart, the next outing is to be
