THE LINCOLNIAN pendent on each other for each had suc ceeded in findmg blgger and better mater 1als to supplant raw materials wh1ch were once consldered necessary It was one brlght and cheerful day 1n 1980 that I dropped 1n on Presldent Phll Parker of Intercontinental A1rl1nes in hlS huge office atop the great glass skvscrap ers of Damariscotta Even though the traf fic tourists flying to their summer homes was thlck no sound of motors penetrated the walls of the spacious ed1flce As I stood gazlng out over the distant hllls and fields wh1ch I had known so well 1n my youth the door behlnd me opened and out of h1s prlvate office stepped a tall sllghtly bald man whom even though I had not seen h1m for years I recognized to be Ph1l He 1nv1ted me 1nto his lnner office and asked me to be seated After talklng over old tlmes and recall mg to mlnd several thr1ll1ng experiences that we had shared 1n the 1nvas1on of Jap an QI suppose you all remember that it was Phil who gamed fame bv droppmg the first bomb on Tokyo and scorlng a dlrect hit on the M1k3dO s Sacred Palacel I suggested that we talk oy er the lmport ant bus1ness for .vh1ch I had come The purpose of my v1s1t was to interest Phll IH usmg the new methyl taulullne gas wh1ch I Wlth the a1d of my worthv HSSISI ant Dr W James Lewis had recently de veloped W1th th1s new gasol1ne your dally fllght from Round Top Field to Ber l1n could be made 1n two hours less time thus maklng it posslble to run two flights a day So ran my sales talk When the usually conservative Mr Parker seemed greatly excited oxer the future of my new product It was indeed a compllment The only fefflalfllllg step was to get the O K of the Federal Got ernment for as Intercontinental carried almost all European and AIFICHH mall the government s consent was needed Immed lately Phil snapped on h1s long range phonovlslon set and contacted the com pany s lobbylst 1n Wash1ngton Mr Griffin and told h1m to get a bill through Congress ratifying the sudden fuel change Several days later I recelved word from Washington that Mr Grlffin s b1ll had passed both branches of Congress and that the now famous scrawl of our President C Albee Page had Just been affixed F1nally it might be here mentloned that w1th the help of th1s new super methyl tauluhne Professor Robert C Bryant of M I T safely made the first V1Slt to our satehte the moon Not1ce the characters 1n th1s story are not purely colncidental and therefore the l1kel1hood of thelr not referring to persons l1v1ng or dead IS greatly 1mprobable Parker Gray 42 GETTING FUN OUT OF LIFE Due to the wave of pessxmlsm this com position to some people may seem out of place others yet will welcome and ac knowledge its thought Concentratmg on our national and 1n ternatlonal troubles We have taken on a great mental burden wh1ch IS added to our personal troubles There IS llttle room left 1n the mlnd to thlnk of the wonderful Joys of life One prefers to look at the headhnes of h1s newspaper rather than at the first robln wh1ch has appeared on the lawn One prefers to l1sten to a news broadcast rather than to the chlrplng of the spring blrds One cannot dwell on his troubles for they are too petty ln con people outslde our land Then must lt be that we must forget the beauty of our natural envlronment that we must keep our mlnds open to nothing but war news and that spring summer and fall must pass wlthout havlng 1nsp1r ed the least of us I denounce It as a waste of good l1v1ng' Open your 1mag1nat1ons to v1sual1ze a st1ll blue r1ver IH the early morning It IS surrounded by rocky shores wh1ch are guarded by tall green pine trees R1s1ng in the blue sky IS a big yellow sun wh1ch IS drying the morn1ng dew How much bet ter this thought IS than a bloody battlefield llttered w1th the corpses of mangled men who are al1ke under the eyes of God but are deadly enemles ln the estlmatlon of nations and their peoples We must re member the pr1nc1ples of oppos1t1on which are to msure the freedom of the in d1v1dual Cast off ev1l and sorrow as quick ly as It comes to you Dlscover beauty in everythmg and I beheve you have dis covered the way to perpetual happiness Cleveland Page 42 21 r I ' , ' . . . . - , I I .
