Yet, twenty-three years later the idea reached its purest form in the launching of the USS Ranger, CV-4, the first vessel designed from the keel to superstructure specifically to carry air- planes. She had been born right at the beginning of the Thirties, a decade of making do, of stretching out, of tightening the belt, but the aircraft carrier was a new concept whose time had come. Even bureau- AS cratic purse-wringing and the insults of the battle- ship admirals failed to stem its gradual growth as the reckoning power and factor in naval strategy. Eight years prior to her launching, General Billy Mitchell had predicted the helplessness of the world's navies before land-based aircraft: eight years after CV-4 slid down the quays, the Japanese made it quite clear that the struggle for the Pacific was going to hinge on contests between fleets centered around ship-based air power. Only later could Billy MitchelI's land aircraft contribute, after strips had been se- cured for them. l l First Landing On Board CV-4. An O3U-3 Passes Over Ranger, Minutes Later The Bi- Wing Was Into The Groove And Was Paddled ln. 21 June 1934 Yes, the Pacific war was a carrier war, and naval aviation learned most of its lessons from it. But the Rangers fight took place in the more limited Atlantic, where the German Navy had chosen to specialize in convoy destruction rather than controlling the sea. Often, she was the only American carrier in the entire ocean, and her daily concerns were sub packs or the occasional surface and air raiders. She worked swiftly and efficiently. Diving and strafing her planes led and covered the assault at Casablanca which opened the Second Front in North Africa. In the latter part of the war, her aircraft searched out the enemy in his lair and brazenly ruled the sky above the ocean. The Ranger was Aft. Elevator Was Inset. known as a lucky ship, for of the three pre-Pearl Harbor carriers to survive the conflict, she was the only one to have gone untouched by bomb, torpedo or shell. By the beginning of 1947, the year that the average crewman aboard today's Ranger was busy being born, the USS Ranger was purchased for one-sixty- eighth of her value by a scrapping company. Lieute- nant Commander Ed Nowak, currently aboard as a member of the AIIVID Department, remembers that his last glimpse of the CV-4 was when she was being towed down the Chesapeake. On her side, in huge letters, was the word Gillette . One can only con- clude that heroes come rather cheaply after wars. 1 P , A TAKEMOFF OI A GREAT LAKES BOMBE.RcE3GW1,'i17 MARCH 1937 RANGERMEN--OF CV-4 OR CVA-61. . . SIMILAR IN STRENGTH, SIMILAR IN PURPOSE But what of the men of the Ranger? How did the life of the crew in the Thirties differ from that of today? ln most respects, of course, there were simi- larities, but it is still safe to assume that few sailors of the modern Ranger would enjoy their stay if they had suddenly found themselves aboard CV-4. When the Ranger first joined the fleet in 1933, the men who manned her fell fairly predictably into certain catagories. A high number were the peace- time professionals who planned to make the Navy their life's workg much of the airwing was youngsters fascinated by the novel opportunities of aviation, and a fair number were men who felt more secure in the service than they did in the unsettled economic conditions of the Depression. Of course, there was the usual scattering of kids who just plain wanted to See the world. Later, during the Forties, the draft encouraged a more diverse sample of the nation's youth to join the Navy. Nevertheless, the new seaman apprentice toting his seabag up the brow remained largely similar to his pre-war counterpart in certain res- pects. Generally, he had received less education than today's sailor, who is usually a high school graduate and has often spent time in college. More- over, he would appear astonishingly innocent to the television-bred and somewhat cynical young seaman of the 1960's: rarely having left his hometown before going to boot camp. The World War ll sailor held opinions about the world and .its inhabitants that were sometimes startling in their naivete. His day started with reveille at 0545, and during wartime steaming he promptly slipped into his dungarees and General Quarters at 0600. Breakfast would be served after G.Q., which, according to a plan of the Day for August 2, 1942, would last two hours. Since this was a Sunday, Holiday Routine was declared, and continued uninterrupted except by working parties and unreps. Air Defense watches were a continuous part of the watch bill, and no one was free from the nagging thought that a raider, below, on or above the surface, could strike at any time. Living conditions aboard the old Ranger were cramped, to say the least. She rode poorly, and the Atlantic never let her forget it. Mess cooks slept in hammocks across the mess decks. Air conditioning did not exist, there were no phones or public radios. 1Or1 ATake Off 193 i From Anti-Sub Patrol Ending A Long Mediterranean Cruise-1943 The air wing was relieved at the end of six months, the World War ll carrier, however, stayed away for far longer periods without any relief. Liberty... liberty. . .what's that? Months went by in the early stages of the war before the crew got any liberty whatsoever. Even then, it was in the form of a ship's company party with rations of warm beer. Later on in the conflict, port calls in England-although many Rangermen wished they could have been more fre- quent. True Ranger ingenuity, then,as now, came through to make life at sea as interesting as possible. Inter- divisional Volley Ball took place in the hangar deck on available days: competition, particularly during the tournaments, was murderous. After the time allotted for the games C1600 to 18005, chairs were set up to watch such features as Dangerously They Live with Nancy Coleman or ln Old California with John Wayne and Binnie Barnes. Supplementing such rare fare were occasional ship shows whose raw talent was drawn directly from the crew. A Bull Horn or Ranger magazine for July, 1942 contains an article called What l liked best about the July Jollities . Listed as favored sketches are the Old Time Ump Ump Band , 0ricco's imitations of the First Lieutenant, and the parody of the parody, l exercise My Liver and Each Important Part. There is, we of the 1969 cruisebook staff believe, a value in this comparison of two ships, identically named and designed for the same purpose, sepa- rated from one another's births by a quarter of a century. Most of us realize by now that a ship is an intangible and individual personality besides the sum of her metal pieces. Today's Ranger is the logical extension of CV-4 as a strategic concept-that of a portable, high-impact thrust of air power-despite the vast differences between the wars in which they serve. It is also the extension of the spirit which made the Ranger launched 36 years ago a true fighting ship. And perhaps it is only this spirit passed onward in time that really matters. This spirit is the unique creation of the men who man her, and it becomes that much easier for them to realize when they are able to gather it around the solid core of heritage contained in the name Ranger . photographs courtesy of Naval Photographic Center, Washington, D.C MMAND 4' 5 If I 1 1 J if It we 4,9 I 4 . 4. x J. . 1. - L, .-.WM 1-14 lim CAPTAIN W.H.

And it is tor a good reason because this one man is ultimately responsible for every single man aboard. Captain Nl-l. Livingston is rio stranger to this kind ot responsibility and his nonpareil performance as 'gangerm would be the logical prediction ot anyone studying his record as a man and as a naval aviator. But nc one on Panger needs to review the achievements of this man. They know he would not be here unless ne was the best. Pather each sailor can perhaps remember this man best in the photographs on these pages- sctxes that portray a man who both desires and enjoys his command at sea. ll COMMANDER H.E. GRAHAM EXECUTIVE OFFICER One can only imagine the myriad details that go into the administration of an operation like an air- craft carrier at war. Surely it would confound many of the best minds in the business world, but this is the daily task of CDR H. Edward Graham, the Execu- tive Officer, There is no iob in which the Xl.O. does not get involved, be it ship's training or the latest scheme to boost the crew's morale. Few would disagree that CDR Graham brought a large ability and just plain enthusiasm to the job which rightly is described as one of the Navy's most difficult and frustrating command responsibilities. 5---N., -glkt 1 MN 4.2 6 sr li va mm A Man and His Aircraft. That could well be about any naval aviator aboard Ranger, but it fits no one better than CDR Louis Page, the commander of Air Wing Two. CDR Page knows each of the aircraft in the wing intimately-no small accomplishment in the most sophisti- cated and modern air wing ever as- sembled for carrier deployment and combat operations. CDR Page helped make history for CVW-2 earlier when, as executive officer of VF-21 in 1965, he and his wingman intercepted and destroyed two MIG-17 aircraft with air-to-air missiles for the first confirmed destruction of enemy aircraft in the Vietnam conflict.

And that is to pull your coat collar up around your ears, put your head down, never turning it from side to side, and to walk straight through the city until you're out past the airport. Otherwise you get involved. You are part of the weave. You have a color which has a place in the rich blur buzzing around the city, day and night. Your voice crackles with the pigeons' screeching, soaring aimlessly from monument- roost to beam on the bay, then softens as it lends support to the hum of the street singers and guitarists. Fingers scrape the lining of the old car coat which is scraping against the crisp wind. The seasons implore the mind to sever them from their names. They are one. The flower is in bloom.. .picked or left to reach up from the street. Topless, bottomless around the town. Itch. Through ground glass you gather the em- broidery ofthe young people voicing one cause or another. You fish out nickels and contri- bute. . .just to hear how it sounds to give mon- ey to a can in the street. You were just at the opera. They say the hippies are gone. Maybe they're in Berkeley now-yippies. But you stay. Your collar has slipped down to the base of your neck. The neck strains to point the head all ways at once.

Not wide, or even a long band of sand. . .but some- how all the temptations of Hawaii...crystalize... into this one area, this one rich mix of the dream tropical and expensive artificial. So we come from our machine-ship for a few snatch of days like dusty camel merchants passing through Babylon. The flashbulb day forces us to squint, squeezing back quantities of sun, the water hurts to look at, with catamarans and dots of surfers skimming through the dazzling azure syrup. And the girls. And the women. Soft gems littering the sand as tropicolor bikinis cache up their proud behinds. Eyes travel the homogenized tan of their backs until they tangle in a flaxen veil of blonde hair. Gleaming lotioned legs and belly, sun-basting on cheap grass mats, these girls. Carefully, we watch the down on their forearms turn lighter while their coed skins brown. Bas-reliefs, of honey and cream, they lie motionless. Then a beachboy squats down, says something, they look up and laugh prettily. You can really hate those guys. They're always here. Smooth as Aqua Velva. They don't have to leave in three days, they can digest this whole scene. . .slowly like a heavy meal of pork. Looking at the beachboy and the laughing girl, you remember your skin feels pale. . -vs., H Q.

The coordination, sense of detail, and foresight required to bring this off calls for a Wizardry little short of sublime. But Ran- ger's Supply Department pulls it all off rather smoothly, and on a regular basis. Their job of supplying materials for the demands of the ship and crew is still the same as it was on USS Ranger CCV-47. However, the modern in- genuity of IBM and data processing, better communication and transpor- tation networks, and electronic computers and business machines have made the complicated job of Supply more organized, efficient, and exact.

The place sits in a huge park with all sorts of clean gravel walkways leading to it, like roads to Rome or something. Well, anyway, it was 3,5 and 7-day, when Japanese parents take their 3,5, and 7-year old kids to be blessed at the Shrine. Herds of beaming parents and little boys and girls. The boys in assorted hats, shorts and knee socks, and all the little girls gussied up in kimonos. It was the cutest thing. The Japanese daddies had even more camera equipment than Neil, incredible as it sounds. They kept stopping, clicking pictures, and holding up walkway traffic pattern. Neil went insane with his Nikon Formula I when we came across a set of tri- plets, kimonoed up-one smiling, one trowning, and onejust puzzled. Big lines of little kids formed in front of the Shrine, got blessed, and toddled back to their parents. The parents then bought all sorts of balloons, dolls, and mechanized astronauts from nearby stands. lt was the cutest thing. 6 i. -s N ,-ue' 5, 4.11 7215 ff t 4-nf 3 F. 15' P IVICDDERN AND ANCIENT TOGETHER CELEBRATE THE UNITY V n.

These two finite examples of form and color make visible the infinite, as a single musical note emphasizes the eternal silence. k'f ?'i- i 'X' 'llll , .g K M 9 ,X We 3 ' ' ' fl., fl iff X 1 Q X' 1 l photographs by: bill neil bill markell russell rouse brian gray 'X -wik- 0? 1 -.X-.M MT Q N, f-Xxx .J',f Qf , ' ' nw ,tap--qxx . 1 4- ,,...,...u I 1 .IX A--' ,I f' 'X ff' ffl vxhxp Y W. -.5vJ1uug.v-f. a-.mv I 'K ' J 1 x TJ.-.JJ cl- 1 Y H .441-' in NAVIGATIGN The object is to bring the star down to the sea horizon in the instrument, the QMCS says to the young Seaman Apprentice.

And Ranger had the distinction of inaugurating the new concept of carrier aviation maintenance, October 26, 1967. Commander H.E. Graham, the ship's executive officer, proud- ly proclaimed AIMD had distinguished itself more than any other department in the Fleet. The expertise of AlMD's personnel, plus a healthy amount of centralization, has saved money, manpower, and equipment. Commander Robert J. Brunskill, who reported aboard last year to take the helm of the first AIMD, accredited the success of the new concept to the efforts of the more than 300 officers and men who comprise the de- partment's three divisions. Needless to say, CV-4 came long before AIMD. ,,,.-1-o- 2 I FIRST ROW, ATI Don Huffines, ATN2 Donald Jagodnik, ATRAN Gregory Bouffard, AE3 David Jones, AN Morris Dodd, SN Jerry Barbero SECOND ROW, ADJ3 Thomas Pittman, AE2 Gerald Johnson, AE3 Gary Rickers, AA Michael Smith, AA Mark Nederloe, ATN2 William George, AQF2 John Howitz THIRD ROW, AVCM Alfred Hughes, AE3 Anthony Lopiccolo, ATR2 Edward Van Barren, AT1 Hayes Jameson, AE2 James Sluder, AZAN Robert Blase, ATN3 James Cooper, AQB2 Charles Seymour, WO Preston L Beebe AMH3 Michael Labombard, AMS3 Roy BELYEA, AMS3 Gerald Millian 'i gnu!

KINETIC DISTURTIGNS sp it ,,-f',f W a 114 Getting bent out of shape is a term often associated with drinking alcoholic beverages or taking so-called mind-expanding drugs. But here on Ranger, you can get bent out of shape merely by becoming a part of the flight deck scene during flight operations.There are a mul- titude of distortions involving both animate and inanimate objects. Heat waves from jet engine exhaust cause a shimmering effect that visually bends aircraft as well as human bodies. Look down the nose of an F-4 Phantom or an A-6 Intruder. . .and let your mind go. Or watch the cat- apult teams roll up in a blanket of steam from a launch, and then uncover as quickly as they were shrouded. And it all evolves from the heart of kinetics. A .bodies and forces acting on them. ll5 A 1 4 A 4 1 'af' .w-x,.,,, vw Qu 1 sd- ' '5 i 1-,,Qi4L,,,-ifmgf-mam REPLEN ISHING UN DERWAY: A RGUTINE PHENOIVIENCDN Replenishment at sea is what a Boatswain's Mate is all about. . .from the bos'n on watch who announces, On the Vesuvius, welcome alongside. Stand-by for snot lines fore and aft, to the BM striker heaving to for all he's worth to get a 3,000 pound bundle of bombs onto the hangar deck. Whether it be bombs, fuel or stores, the boatswain'e mates take pride in rigging and trans- ferring Rangers needs as quickly and safely as possible. Bending and bracing against burden- some bomb loads, the bos'ns resemble a winning tug-o-war team pulling their opponents a- cross the victory line, And when the lines are unrigged and the bombs are stowed, the bos'ns give a sigh of relief, straighten their backs and almost seem to gloat over their win. 117 BRINGING IN THE BIRDS Near the stern, standing on a crowded, electronical- ly-gadgeted platform on the outer edge of the flight deck, a pilot watches a jet returning from a mission over Vietnam. The plane is high. The pilot on the plat- form speaks quickly, but calmly, into a radio trans- mitter using as few words as possible. He calls the ap- proaching plane by its number: Four-zero-four, you're high. The aircraft settles lower, and the Landing Sig- nal Officer CLSOJ, the pilot on the platform is again silent. Then comes the squealing, hissing, raking, rasp- ing sounds of metal hook scraping metal deck, a screaming turbine engine, and the whirring of cold steel cable uncoiling as the plane yanks it from its home below decks. As soon as the plane halts, the LSO turns his attention to the stern again and locks minds with the pilot bringing in the next bird. in ,., ,fxgv ii. . qc ,Q 'Xff,4.s,.ft'-.g- ',-, - -M -W Q- If V7 i ' f'..,-Q. i ,sf-,,, m 'Wt M , A, . 7,El ' . ,xv xg . .

TOWER FLOWERS - 'On the flight deck, now all personnel not in proper flight deck uniform clear the flight deck. You're clear to start the Whale, the Hawkeye...' This voice from the heavens sends men scurrying on the flight deck. Behind the voice is either CDR Tom Woolcock or CDR Jim Service who preside over the activity below from PRI-FLY. the symbolic and real center of the Air Department. Aiding the commanders are V-5 personnel, the 'Tower Flowers', who man the phones status boards and landing control panels located in PRI-FLY. FLIGHT DECK CONTROL: IN CHECK The men encircle the long, glass-topped table with the intense concentration of two chess players and an anxious audience. The man in the leather, highbacked swivel chair leans over and makes his call: 'Let's bring 302 and 310 up, move 611 back, and then we can get O11 in position! Hands flash out and wooden models with these numbers are moved to their new places on the chess board. The men in this scene are CDR Marshall Bittick, Flight Deck Control Officer, and the sailors who daily man up Flight Deck Control. The chess pieces are the aircraft of Carrier Air Win TWO. lt is a ame of uick decisions 8 8 Q - a game of seconds gained... and the satisfaction of victory comes in another smooth, on-time launch and re- covery.

Operations has been termed the 'nerve center of the ship,' and right- ly so. Ops collects and disseminates all kinds of information from routine evolutions, such as unreps, to highly classified matters like photo intelli- genceg from finding picturesque weather to taking and processing picturesque pictures. Security, weather, combat information, air and strike operations, intelligance, photography and electronic main- tenance are all 'operational' topics. FRONT ROW, Pennis Lunde, YN2 Larry Merrill.

But everyone in naval aviation knows there is so much more to the profession than the sleek jet powering off the catapult or grinding to a halt upon arrestment. Even while the pilot sleeps. the maintenance crews are busy checking out every gripe listed on the yellow sheet filled out by the pilot after his last hop. Be it 'Avionics' -- electronics, ordnance and fire control systems, and communications. Or 'Line' -- trouble- shooting, pre- and post-flight checks, and plane captains. Or lAirframes' -- keeping the outer skin clean of air-resistant materials and maintaining the hydraulic systems. Or 'Power Plants' -- engines and fuel systems.

The escalator seems to take foreverg the catwalk stairs to steep: the line of aircraft on the flight deck too long. But quickly he forgets his impatience in the routine of the pre-flight walk-around of his aircraft. As the pilot uncaps the missile, the line crew makes its last-minute adjustments, too. Finally the pilot pulls him- self up to the cockpit. One last huddle with his plane captain.

Perhaps no place is this more apparent than in a modern attack carrier air wing. Attack Carrier Air Wing Two CCVW-23, in the words of one of the recent admirals who worked with it, is the most sophisticated and modern attack carrier air wing to ever deploy for combat operations. Yet there are many naval aviators today who can remember the 'aircraft of Battle Carrier Air Group 74, the World War ll ancestor of CVW-2. They also can remember Air Group Two which operated aboard the USS Boxer in the Korean Conflict in the early fifties. But with the deployment of CVW-2 aboard Ranger in November of 1967, the Navy had its first all-jet attack carrier air wing. Suddenly the aircraft of the recent past -- the Corsair l's, Panthers, Banshees, Skyraiders and the sweptwing Cougars and Furies -- became instant history. This cruise, CVW-2 rejoined Ranger in October to continue its record of providing the Fleet with the most modern and effective air power in the United States Navy inventory.

Centuries ago, the idea of yin and yang became enbedded in Chinese philosophy. Yin is the female, recessive force in the universe, like water or winter. Yang is the male, or active, such as fire and springtime. Endlessly. they revolve in perpetual cycle. Hong Kong seems first to be yin, the yin of allure. Her nature is seductive, an open hostess to a thousand ships, a pleasure garden for every race and taste, a display case for jade and silk and countless luxuries. Yet Hong Kong is yang, also, the yang of ceaseless work. His muscle moves the cargoes to and from, and it is his cheap sweat that subtracts from the cost of the intricate and valuable goods sold here. There is yang in the clank of every round, hefty Hong Kong dollar, and there is the scramble for cast to live which results in theft as well as production. And everywhere, in the faces everywhere, there is the yang of youth, or the yin of age, the yin of resignation or the yang of promise. 248 LS., V-- sf. ,ff 1' x Jyzf' fl! , V L' f7Q1HP4g' ' '., THE WGODEN WEB. . . ff ' 0' K ng, x Q- fwfff ,1'f'f1:s'v 'F 1 Af 5 X I 5 l -'v , -'n P4 'nk X 250 x s 'll -'Kr 'L 9-. g-.- L' ,.,..L QLAQT ,H Q F-S r-'xr 4 R A l I 1 . .

More than 30,000 times a year, jet aircraft are launched, and most of these in six month's time. Millions of gallons of saltwater are de-salinated and purified for drinking, cooking, and for use in the eight boilers. Ranger is a city afloat. She's electrically equipped for lighting, power, communications and living conditions. Logistics for all of this engi- neering is a nightmare. The work is often worse. Yet, it's accomplished, and so well that most people hardly realize that so much happens in a routine day in the Engineering Department. 4,-f LT Joe Propati ELECTRICAL OFF.

Harvey Ben- nett. A-DIVISION GFFICE HYDRAULICS The Business of hydraulics is most evident during flight operations when jet aircraft are hoisted and lowered via the ship's hett four elevators, and at unreps as the winches are set into position to help handle the vital cargo sent our way. The hydraulic unit how- ever, appears in many other locations of the ship and is strategic in the function of the ship's steering system. Steam heating we didn't need for our own comfort on Yankee Station. But in the Sea of Japan, we turned our grateful eyes towards the men of A-2 who got us a little warmth. The unit also kept the steam flow moving to the four cats. We needed that most of the time. STEAM HEAT 81 CATAPULTS AIRCOIVIPRESSION Trouble shooters from A-3 compressed whatever air we didn't breath, and put it to work in the non-biological mechanics of ship's engineering.

The lines of pipes for water and fuel, miles of pipeline, receive just as scrutinous inspections and attentions to repair. Lots of things on Ranger have to be under lock and key...like money. When fires break out, the gear has to be good and the firefighters professionals. When the library needs a new bookshelf or the Chaplain wants a new pulpit, the phone jin- gles in the Carpenter Shop.

Ranger has four MD's and 34 hospital corpsmen who look after the health and sanitation of the rest of the 5,000-man crew. With nearly 80 men reporting to sick call every day, it's no wonder Medical filled over 2,500 prescriptions during the cruise and performed numerous operations.

FORD LED THE PROTESTANTS Chaplains Ford and Quinn held at least seven services each Sunday, so there were plenty of chan- ces for men who had to work to observe the Sabbath at some period during the day. Lay leaders from various religious groups had their own scheduled services. Father Quinn offered instruction sessions for men who wished to become Catholic. Chaplain Ford gave informal talks about various aspects of life via KRAN-TV on Chit-Chat With the Chaplain, and held an old-fashioned Hellfire and Brimstone Sermon to demonstrate how services often were delivered in the yesteryears of America. If a Ranger- man sought spiritual involvement, he did not have to look very far or very hard to find it.

Miller explained that the carrier di- vision title is an administrative one. ln Carrier Division Three there are three carriers, he said, . . .because of the Tonkin Gulf situation and the Viet- Nam War, they have been using the car- rier division commanders to come out here and function as the operational on the scene commander. Thus, Ad- miral lVlilIer and his Staff set up shop in Ranger to run Yankee Station for the greater part of the time that Ranger would be in the Tonkin Gulf. And Ranger was a proud host. -'Z I. ii.

'mhz TO THE READER: A cruisebook about a ship at sea with 4,000 men for a seven-month cruise is by necessity subjective. lt is a small group of people, the staff, expressing through pictures, copy and theme, their impression of this period. Yet we hope we have captured for most of you the meaningful moments of this great carrier's eighth Western Pacific deployment. l would like to thank the many persons responsible for this cruisebook. The Photography Lab, under the direction of CWO-2 Bob Kensler, took most of the pictures and their cooperation often helped us through the rough spots. Lieutenant Cjunior gradeb Bill Neil served as Photography Editor and is responsible for the photographs depicting the early months of our deployment. In addition, individual photographs are credited throughout the book. Our copy editor was Journalist Second Class Bill Riggs, who also contri- buted many professional color photographs to the book Our Writer-in- Residence was Lieutenant Cjunior gradeb Richard Jupa, whose prose high- lights the introductory and port sections. Journalist Seaman Don Bront- sema contributed the layout and design and the superior art work which appears throughout the work. Lieutenant Cjunior gradej Larry Claassen acted as Business Manager. lt has been a positive experience to work with these talented people and a pleasure to be associated with the 1968-1969 Ranger Cruisebook. Sincerely, Heath J. Meriwether Lieutenant Cjunior gradej Cruisebook Editor 304 2 4 Y I , fin' ' 5 U iw ihj-V 1M' .-1 fix, ' W , X , , Nyggv -. 1 .39-Qu iipg , Q91-:V 'ifif-, ,ifff igjjsh . figith.
