Some people have to feed stray cats. addictions we are plagued with as a quote civilized Im a society unquote. I have to read stray pamphlets. Then there are books. I grew up assuming people came with books as natural appendages. I could no more think of going on a picnic or on a trip to the blizzard shanty without the security of a book than Linus without his blanket. prin-toholi- c. BE IT ever so humble, no printed word I can pass by without a compulsion to read u. When they scrape me up off the blacktop, it will be because I was reading the. fine print on a billboard instead of watching the ten ton truck creeping up on me. Trucks come and go, but I theres LOOKING BACK from the vantage point of secure middle age, I have decided I was bom star crossed or whatever happens to the stars when a baby is bom with a built-i- n addiction. I devoured books the way my brother devoured his cocoa and Iris could always find a pocketful of raisins to accompany her on may NEVER get a chance to read that billboard. Cereal boxes, labels on canned goods, license plates, survey markers, real estate brokers phone numbers, and the lengthy exceptions to an insurance policy. If some printer prints it, Ill read it.

For 1975 there was a total industry deficit of $87 million, with only a few lines profitable, others showing huge losses. This performance represents a sharp slide from the relatively good 1974 when the group rang up an overall profit of $250 million, with only two lines failing to make a net gain. THE 1975 loss of $87 million n was second only to the $100-millio- deficit of 1970. But fourth-quartearnings reports give signs that the worst may be over. er FOR INSTANCE, Pan American losses for all of 1975 and for January 1976 were less pronounced, perhaps a negative factor but at least indicative of a degree of improvement. Soaring fuel costs have, na- turally, been a major headache common to all airlines. During 1974 fuel prices doubled and last year saw another 30 percent climb. AIRLINES, unlike the utilities, have no provision for automatically passing through the extra cost of fuel, although some weight is undoubtedly given the subject in fare hike negotiations. & In 1975, however, fare boosts received scant consideration, adding to airline ills. THE ONLY across-the-boar- d domestic fare increase last year was a scant 3 percent in At the same time, throughout the year and even now, a rash of discount fares persists as the companies try to get potential traffic. d The jumbo jet so enthusiastically greeted a few years ago as salvation for the industry now seems to be a burden. Execess purchases ss wide-bodie- hampered airline finances, and as the recession gew it became almost impossible to operate the giants at profitable capacities. SINCE THESE jets had a high overhead even when grounded, in some instances they were sold or converted to air freighters. Then, several lines were crippled by strikes for considerable lengths of time in 1975. Passenger traffic was thus diverted to rival airlines and much of it did not return after the walkouts were over. MAINTENANCE expenses continued to mount during strike periods, adding to deficits. There was also an onus upon lines by reason of mutual aid payments to struck lines per industry agreement. non-striki- ((li)5( Bountiful cautiously for a recovery in earnings. OPERATIONS have been streamlined through restructuring airfleets toward fewer types of aircraft. Many of the jumbo jets have been phased out, and there have been reductions in personnel. While fuel costs remain high, they appear to have stabilized, as have the topsy-turv- y air fare plans. Traffic has begun to pick up once more and resume its underlying pattern of growth, with the widespread increases amounting to an average of 11 percent in January. read the directions.
