No one knows exactly how much a liter is, but it must be about one twelfth of a deep breath. Actually, the air we breath is oxygen so when a only about 20 pilot is flying high he doesn't use pure 02. That makes the supply last longer and everyono can take a turn at being gassed. Hill AFB has been gassing all the Air Force units within the entire Ogden Air Materiel Area. That's why 500 bottles of oxygen are used during a month of normal operations. But starting July first, some of the outfits are going to have their air cut off. Hill AFB is only going to Supply Wendover AFB and the Utah-Idah- o Air National Guard. All the others will have to call at their local gas works for a regular sup- Pix Contest Open ....

Four Hill AFB employees this claim. According to them, there is at least one passenger pigeon still in existence. Right here in the Intermountain empire, too! While returning to Ogden from Hill AFB after a hard day of watching airplanes dart through the sky, a foursome composed of Harold Goates, Grechen Kerr, Jack Mller, and Margaret Groff thought for a while their vision was playing tricks on them. A pigeon dove out of the sky. casually fluttered its wings and settled down on the hood of the car, Goates claims that the pigeon scrutinized the occupants of the car to see if it knew anyone, After about a half mile of being jostled bout by the air currents, the bird decided there wasn't anyone in the car worth know ing so with a flip of its tail feathers rose into the. blue. And there sat Goates, a shutter bug without a camera, knowing he would never be believed 'cause he couldn't produce phonographic proof of their strange apparition. . dis-pu- te 1. On and off dutv.
