"= ® Not Double-Talk But Sounds Like It "Double Deuce, your pigeons at home plate is zero niner zero, one five miles.. Strangle your parrot and go three three five point eight for a GCA pickup over the range." What does it mean? It isn't double-talk, It is a common and straight-faced radio transmission to the 'pilot of an airplane. lane perial pumber den * and he is being told that he should turn east and travel 16 miles to reach his air- port. He is being asked to turn off his radar identification equipment and tune his radio to 335.8 'megacycles to "begin a ground-controlled approach for landing' when he is over the radio" range station. The language of 4 pilot is daily becoming more: difficult for his friends on the ground to : understand. As the air around us crowds with airplanes, . traffic . jams would occur aloft 'near every major airport in the country if . pilots. took time to explain their «requests and 'make their reports in' the' same language their 'brothers 'use on the ground. So they use a shorthand language, to speed things up, For instance, a pilot may want to say something like this; "Los Angeles control tower, I am the Frio of the Susi jn a Freupiut airplanes' flying under: the 11 sign "Checkmate." We are ginning' our landing pattern approximately three miles from the end of the right runway of the parallel runways aligned on heading of 280 degrees. We are ing at the prescribed altitude and are going to come to a com- plete stop on the runway. By the time the flight leader finished saying something. like this, he would practically have had time to land his airplanes, walk to the tower, and give his message to the controllers Jin pat son, writes Richard Bach in The Christian Science Monitor. Instead, as his flight turns in- to the pattern, the leader takes five seconds and says, 'Los Angeles tower, Checkmate is turning initial three out with four, two five right for a wull stop." Abbreviations play a big put in the ry ic gh of pilots. VOR, ADF, T and ILS all refer to navigational radio equipment aboard a CAT, MAP, TOP, oA , and IAS refer to information read from the airplane's instruments. Weather can go from CAVU (ceiling and visibility unlimited) to WOXOF (indefinite ceiling xero, sky obscured, visibilty xero in fog). Some abbreviations don't make sense, though, even when they're spelled out. If you visit a con- irol tower, you may hear a pilot request the tower operator to "cancel my item fox." Far from bringing disappoint- ment to a point-nosed Reynard, "item" and "fox" are letters in the phonetic alphabet, and the messages becomes, 'cancel my IF." It still may not make much sense, Given the clue that IFR stands for instrument flight rules, we see that he could be saying, "Cancel my instrument flight," which is almost correct. In English it means, "Cancel my IFR flight plan, for I am out of the clouds and have the field in sight." Of course that takes far too long to say, and the message remains, "cancel my item fox." M the airways grow much more complex, the language of flying will need its own diction- ary and take its place with Urdu and Swahili, intelligible only to those who have studied them for years, airplane. . Labi) 7 LL RAG 5 aie OFFICIAL SEAL -- looking as somber as a judge, the dignified old seal checks the outside world at Miami Seaquarium, Smelting In. The Dark Of The Moon Smelts run every spring, and every spring I find myself with an urge to go and see. Yet I don't go, and I guess I didn't . realize 'the difference betwixt then and now until somebody said the other day, "Of course, we walked when we went smelt- ing," It is true, and it is the difference. I remember stagger- ing 'home under the weight of a bag of smelts on my shoulder, feeling my way in the dark over roots and stumps, Sometimes I gould go all the way home without setting the i. bag down for a;rest. So we. did walk to the smelt brook, and I ean see that it made a difference. The smelt, a spring spawning fish of great delicacy, is able to live his whole cycle in fresh water, but the ones we went after were the 'sea-run kind, up from the ocean in iglous numbers to spawn in chill fresh 'water of the sea- sonal runoff. The fresh-water smelt seems to run a mite lar- fe but the sea-run kind outdoes im in flavor. A mess of smelts was 'always a springtime must. Ans man has, from the reddest one every spring to take these anal: [7] y move yp In their pattern reproduction. As you view the thing in there are two 'kinds of g -- commercial and sport. Smelting is the only branch of either which laps. over to the other, combines the two so there is no difference. This, probably, is because it comes in the spring and takes on the wistful, force- ful complexion of some ancient pagan ritual whose stated in- cantations have outlasted the Purpose, At least, I know there willy-nilly response that strikes me every year at.smelt- ing time, although I no longer go. We did walk. True, there were automobiles by my time, but we lacked Toads. At smelting time our poor country lanes were hub- deep in mud, and people still knew how to walk. We liked the night tide of the dark of the moon -- which sounds pagan enough until you reflect that we liked it only because the smelts liked it. That's the way with a lot of things -- you think man- kind does something out of fear- some inner urges, lost to thought and bordering on the occult, and then you find it is nothing of the sort. It takes both men and smelts for this vernal orgy, and the smelts run thickest on a dark tide. Today hordes of smelters gravitate to the stream from é¢ven hundréds of miles away, @ach bringing a pail for his har- QUITS CUBAN DEAL -- Former heavyweight champ Joe Lleuls tells newsmen that he has eev- ered oll connections with the Cuban Tourist Bureau. He alee revealed that he 'would with- draw. as a partner in the public relations firm that ebtained the $287,000 contract from Pidel Castro unless # drops the Cu- ban account, louls sald, "There ls only one decision | ean make «+ + My record as en American ls as wel known as anyone's end | mean to keep It that way." vest, and the cars are parked on firm shoulders for a mile on each side of every bridge and culvert. We walked, long-poled nets on our shoulders, communing in a fellowship as we: went along ac- cording to our :;ancient ritual, moying by families and neigh- borhoods toward the brackish tide. Any voice out of the dark was somebody's. M you heard a splash down the brook, a coarse cry of chilled dismay, and then a flurry of haw-haw's, you could tell who had fallen in and who thought it was funny. Now you can smelt all + night among strangers and hear no familiar voice except your companion's. And it does make a difference. What was a tribal rite, secure among intimates, now belongs to transient infidels as well. They have the legal right, of course, and must not be denied their "recreational" privileges. But they are intruders in fact, for they look upon smelting wholly as a sport and lack the deeper nuances of springtime and the mysteries of the dark of the moon, You have no idea, unless Youve, experienced it, what a alne- brook feels like on a black full-tide in the dark eof WHERE'S PADDY? -- Tudor Period trioht, Tolyarios Corte) and Die Hard lead oie fleld al the mile post in the 181s running of the English Derb favorite, Angers (arrow), Owned by Mrs. Ralph at Epsom; 'Back in the pack is the Strassburger, Angers suffered a broken leg bone and had to be destroyed, $t. Paddy, an Ph Sea horse, won the derby, ® the moon during = smelt run. Coming " forth~from a misstep washed pure in these rites is:not a happy experiénce. You climb dripping up the bank and it is hard to understand what all your good friends are laughing at. And on top of all this, I don't like smelts much anyway, and would just as lief have a boiled egg. So it's a little hard in the perspective of later, and chang- ed, times to look back on smelt- ing as the greatest thing that ever happened. But I do know this: That every year on the dark of a spring moon, now that I'm living back from the coast, there comes an inner and. unbidden thought of smelting. All those who have had the tides in their lore, however far back in the highlands they may move, know that the breeze stirs a certain way at the change. The gigantic force that moves the oceans in regular rote is always felt in the air for those who --+--know of it. And while for months on end I never notice this recurring sig- nal, I do notice it at smelt time. I would light the symbolic flame and. depart for the temple. I would join the generations that moved from the forests to the sea to greet the returning sea- son -- holding the smelt as a harbinger and a promise, 1 would answer the summons. I don't go. But it may answer some philosophies that the sum- mons is still heard. By John Gould in the Christian Science Monitor. Elvis Is Modest In A Big Way The twelve pretty starlets had been shooed away from the vic- inity of the great man in the shower for fear they would be a disturbing influence. The show- er had been started, with cold water that would not streak his 'make-up, and the fake steam had been turned on, Then the pre- recorded music began and, in the latest switch on Hollywood's fa- mous star - in - the - bath scene, Elvis Presley started mouthing "What's She Really Like?"--one of the eleven songs he sings in Paramount's "GI Blues." In his first movie after two Army years in Germany, ex-Ser- geant Presley was playlig; of all ings a soldier stationed in, of placer ermany. The side- 4 and pounds of flesh were gone, but otherwise it was just like .the' old days--oceans of huhbub washing over the star who, as long as he wasn't sing- ing, remained quiet, deferential and serious. After the shower scene, Elvis changed into uniform and walk- ed toward his luxurious dressing room: several blocks away, an- swering "Yes, sir' or "No, sir" to the questions put to him by underlings along the way. He strolled through an anteroom where half a dozen young men lounged in sport clothes--some of the nine pals he had brought from Memphis to Hollywood in a private railroad car (the trip cost him $2,424). The friends were variously carried on the payroll as "valet," "security guard," and "accountant" ("He was a bookkeeper before he went in the. Army," Elvis says defen- sively of this last functionary). "If you don't mind, sir, I'll just keep my hat on while 1 eat," Elvis said, glancing at the air conditioner in his dressing room, "I got to keep this hair in place and 1 might catch a chill after that shower." He pegan munching on un- buttered roll ("A lunch makes me sleepy") as he was asked about his Army stint, "I learned a lot about people in the Army," he said. "There was all differ- ent types. I never lived with other people before and had a chance to find out how they think. It sure changed me, but I can't tell you ofthand just how "I never griped. If I didn't lke something, nobo knew, excepting me. Nothing ad hap- pened. If I'd 'a' been what they thought, I'd have got what was goming to me. But I never talk- ed about show business. 1 went along." He was asked about his future plans, "I'm ambitious fo become a more serious actor, but I don't want to give up the music bus- iness by no means," he said. "I can't change my style, either. If I feel like moving around, I still move. As for the fans, they've changed some but they're still there, the same ones. The presi- dent, of one fan club came to see me and I hardly recognized her. Bhe's going to college now. I was surprised she looked me up. She was more mature, but she stop- ped by anyway." The door burst open and a huge platter of tuna-fish sand- wiches was borne in, followed eagerly by the pals. -- From NEWSWEEK.
