cool comfort.
So, if your electric service bill is higher,
think of the many extra hours of work you've

E. Cranford of Route 1, Perrin,
was a crewmember aboard the anti-
submarine warfare support air-
craft carrier USS Intrepid when
the ship went to the aid of the car-
rier USS Forrestal.
The Forrestal, operating “on I

seriously damaged when a fuel
tank on one of its aircraft, prepar-
ing to take off, dropped from the
plane, spewing burning gasoline
, along the entire flight and hangar
I decks.
The fire resulted in many se-
I condary explosions from burning
bombs and missiles.
Upon arriving at the scene of
the disaster helicopters from the
Intrepid began transporting men
and supplies to the Forrestal to
aid the stricken ship and her crew
in combating the fire.
