Sometimes it takes an emergency to bring out the best in all of us. So we'd like to offer some positive thoughts concerning the energy crisis. 1 vAJ 4 1 1 3 The Coleman Lantern. Almost a Legend.

i0 Veteran campers are always prepared to rough it. Even at home. People who really enjoy the great outdoors do lot of camping. And they have the equipment to make it easy. Coleman lanterns, heaters, stoves.

Coleman Coolers and Jugs and sleeping bags. So a camper is always ready to meet emergencies like an energy shortage. Because the same equipment used for camping and outdoor fun, comes through in emergencies, too. Maybe that's not I happy thought. But it can be a comforting one.

Cooking with Coleman. Just like a kitchen range. A Coleman Campstove can handle just about any meat you can imagine. Almost as easily as your kitchen range. We even have a fold-up oven that fits on top ol one of the burners.

All of which means great meals on a camping trip. But it also means great meals at home in case you can't use your stove. We hope you won't have to put it to emergency use. But it's nice to know you can. Over seventy years ago farmers used the Coleman Lantern to extend their workday.

They called it "the light that never fails" And with good reason. Because no more dependable light has ever been developed. This is the lantern that lit newspaper offices and hospitals in Chicago when the coal strikes of 1 91 9 caused a shutdown of electric plants. The lantern that has lined the banks of swollen rivers when the sand-baggers worked through the nights. During the Johnstown flood.

The Louisville flood. The lantern that came to the aid of Atlanta and Kansas City during the ice storms of 1971. The lantern that lights almost every campsite it night. The light that's called on for almost every emergency. Because it is "the light thet never MCv'i-i1f' --i -5j jH 8 4 4 AA aP wirwnw i i i i I I i v.

A How a Coleman Catalytic Heater works. One of the safest fueled heaters ever made is the Coleman Cat. Because there's no flame after the heater starts going. It operates just like a hand-warmer, Only with bigger ideas.

The fiberglass wick carries the fuel into the upper chamber, where it changes to vapors. These vapors burn at a low temperature, giving off constant warmth through the platinum catalyst on top. This catalyst keeps the temperature at a level that keeps the vapors burning as the wick keeps carrying the fuel to the upper chambor. Slowly. Evenly.

So you don't get burning heat. You get even-glowing warmth. Up to 8000 BTUs of warmth. For up to 20 hours on a single filling. Gt2sS3PS fCsOra (fCaw-OJS CJ)-7 fC5.3tl SJZsS Si.QS)rii 3C5r5 tFJ27S ffCjwOTS ffCv-CSCJS ffv3 because people who are what they're doing they're sport so far is education.

A twenty-five pound block of ice in a Coleman Cooler will keep bacon and eggs and milk fresh and cold and the produce crisp for three days. Even longer if you try not to open it too olten. A cooler can double as a freezer, too, with little extra effort. Just wrap pieces of dry ice in newspaper. Then insulate your cooler with a thick layer of folded newspaper and place the wrapped dry ice next to it.

Then place your frozen products in a small cardboard box and place in the cooler next to the dry ice. For best results, try not to open the cooler more than once daily.

16.88 kites from South Africa, Mexico, Singapore, Canada and behind the Iron Curtain. "You don't need a particular area like you do for surfing or skiing. You just need a hill and a little wind. And it's a year-round sport." Hang-gliders cost anywhere from $25 for a do-it-yourself bamboo and plastic model ($5 for plans, $25 for materials; recommended for low hills and light winds only) to $880 for a ready-to-fly, dacron-wing mononlanp. A few manufacturers offer flying lessons, some for a fee, some free with purchase.

But most flyers say they learned by "trial and error." Most gliding enthusiasts claim the sport is, at the least, "safer than riding a motorcycle." There have been a handful of deaths in recent years, but most involved power tows, which self-launch "purists" shun. IN MID-JULY, however, a 22-year old Burbank man crashed to his death after losing control of his glider. And shortly before, a girl watching the gliding activity at Torrance was injured when a landing glider struck her. Many gliders fear the recent accidents will cause officials to take a harder look at the youthful sport. The Federal Aviation Agency so far exercises nq control over hang-gliding.

Despite the inherent dangers, hang-gliding already has its share of thrill seekers. The Evil Knieval of the sport, Robert Wills of Santa Ana, hangs by his feet while soaring in the wind. Dave Gibas recently set a world's record by leaping off Mt. Evans in Colorado. "We don't condone practices like hanging from your feet Coleman Fuel Two Things: 1.

Always use Coleman Fuel in Coleman gasoline appliances. Gasoline from the station pump won't do, even if you can get it. Because Coleman Fuel is triple-filtered to burn clean, so there's no clogging or gumming up. And I rust inhibitor is added to fight corrosion. 2.

There is no shortage of Coleman Fuel at the present time. And unless the energy crisis worsens severely, we do not foresee any shortage. Three simple rules of safety for' Coleman Gasoline Appliances: 1. Always keep Coleman fuel outside the house, out of reach of children. A high shelf in the garage is best.

2. Aiways fill your Coleman lantern, heater and stove outside. from the house, cabin or tent. 3. When burning a Coleman lantern, heater or stove inside your house or cabin, allow for some ventilation.

Icarus failed at it. The Wright Brothers toyed with it, but cast it aside for engine power. Surely every kid has tried it. It is self-launched flight, one of man's oldest fantasies and now one of his newest sports. Devotees call it hang-gliding, or sky-surfing, and it's winning its way into the hearts of thousands of would-be Jonathan Livingston seagulls.

Each breezy day flocks of iirdmen scramble up hills, Irom low slopes to mountain peaks, strap on huge triangular kites or sailplanes and leap into space. "IT'S SOMETHING you've never felt before" says Volmer Jensen, 63, the grand old man of California hang-gliding who built his first set of wings 40 years ago. "The minute you leave the ground vou feel like you're 1,000 feet in the air. The whole thing about it is you're getting something for nothing from Mother Nature." On a windy day Jensen can be seen floating back and forth in the air 200 feet above the beach in Torrance, his thin form dangling from a wood-frame, fabric-covered monoplane he designed and built himself. On a dav 20 to 30 of their huge, multicolored delta-wing kites are narked wing to wing plong the 100 foot-high sea cliff.

Novices, of course, like Parker MacCready, 13, drift immediately to the ground below, touching down softly in the sand. But an experienced pilot, like Jensen, can tay up for hours soaring si-, lently through the updrafts. Jensen's record flight lasted one and one half hours. The 1 world record, set by Pat Con- niry, is three hours and 36 jninutes. Hang-gliding is not just another California craze.

For light, heat and cooking power. On the campsite. And in emergencies. If you're concerned about the energy crisis, and what you'd do in case of a power shortage a reminder: the same equipment you use to enjoy camping can get you through an emergency, too. Remember, always allow some ventilation when using lantern, heater or stove inside your house or cabin.

Many campers prefer the pumpless convenience of propane. There's no easier fuel to use. And when the propane appliance is Coleman, there's none safer. All hoses have safety shut-offs. So if an appliance is disconnected while operating, fuel flow stops.

Automatically. And Coleman's exclusive regulator assures constant fuel pressure, at any fuel level. There's no pressure buildup in hoses. IMo wasted fuel.

(AP) Rising oil prices should encourage the United States to develop a Navy of nuclear-powered ships, says a member of the House Armed Services Committee. "We are being priced into nuclear power and we must have an all-nuclear fleet," Rep. Bob Wilson, told officers at Imperial Beach Naval Air Station. He is the second-ranking Republican on the committee.

Wilson noted that a nuclear- You'll find Coleman equipment at your sporting goods dealers, in sporting goods departments, and wherever camping equipment is sold.
