Everyone has (or should
have) a secret Shangri-La,
where he or she can get away
from the rat race for a while
and recharge the mental
batteries.

Ours is on a_ beautiful
piece of canoeing river,
where we have a _per-
manently-based travel
trailer, a couple of canoes
and some of the best friends
we've ever made.

It had been a couple of
months since we had been
there, and we needed to get
away. After a three-hour
drive, we found our river-
front trailer intact, though
we had to break a maze of
cobwebs as we entered. A
startled field mouse, seeing
that civilization had
returned, raced across the
floor and out the open door.

When we went outside to
turn on the propane gas so
we could cook dinner, we
saw a mother robin and
three young ones occupying
a nest on top of the gas tank.
We gingerly turned on the
other tank so we wouldn't
disturb them.

We ate dinner, watching
the mother robin shove
worms down the gullets of
her babies and watching
canocists drift lazily down

Four speakers will present
their view on what the issues
are and whether or not
concern is justified: George
Carruthers, lawyer and
current member of the
Hospital Board; Marlene
Hunter, M.D.; Declan
Lawlor, Dentist and current
member of the Hospital

the quiet river. As darkness
settled in, some friends who
were camping nearby
stopped to say hello. We sat
outside in the dark around
the picnic table, chatting
about old times.

Suddenly, we heard a loud
scratching noise in one of
the trees. Our spotlight
picked up a fat oppossum
clawing his way up the trunk
to enjoy a night of peaceful
sleep.

Before we turned in, a
sweep of the river with our
spotlight uncovered a deer
drinking at the river's edge.
He looked up briefly and
resumed drinking.

Next morning, the sound
of honking geese awoke us,
and we looked out of the'
trailer in time to see their V-
shaped formation over the
river. We dressed and
quickly put a canoe in the
water, The trout were
feeding, and a half hour's
work with the spinning rods

produced two beauties,
which we enjoyed for
breakfast.

Three days passed all too
quickly. We had to force
ourselves to return home.

A Shangri-La has a way of
doing that. You spend a
couple of days savoring the
wonders of nature and you
begin to think you don't need

sex charges

BEACH,
Calif.(UPI) - The com-
mander of the USS Norton
Sound dropped charges
today against the final four
women sailors accused of
homosexual activities
aboard the ship.

A navy spokesman said
the decision was reached
after consulting with the
navy prosecutors in charge
of the case and reviewing
testimony taken during the
administrative hearings of
the first four female
crewmembers.

The spokesman said the
commanding officer of the
Norton Sound has met
personally with cach of the
four remaining sailors and
told them of his decision.

The hearing board aboard
the ship Wednesday ruled a
second woman sailor be
given a gencral discharge
under honorable conditions
because she had a Lesbian
love affair with a shipmate.

The board recommended
that Fireman Recruit Wendi
Williams, 25, of the Bronx,
N.¥. be discharged for her

homosexual activity with
Alicia Harris. 18. of
Chicago

A previous hearing board
had recommended that Miss
Harris be discharged. Both
recommendations must by
reviewed by the ship's
captain and up the Navy
chain of command.

Two women were cleared
of all charges and it was
recommended they be
retained in the Navy.
