Well no, but some people do manage to get to Chile, New Zealand or Australia, where it is officially winter. If they are lucky, they can go to the glacier areas of the western U.S. or Europe.

But most of us just wait out the long summer months thinking of past and future winters. But you can ski in summer, now, in Vermont. Oh stop putting me on. Its true. Bromley has just added turfskiing to its many other summer activities.

And so an imaginary conversation between two avid skiers might sound. Turfskiing opened this weekend at Bromley despite inclement weather Saturday. Sunday dawned clear and warm and many local residents made use of Bromleys free offer complete use of rental boots and poles, the Turfski and the Lords Prayer J-bar and slope. The Turfskis, invented by Clif Taylor of West Dover who also designed the original Shortie skis, are plastic. They are about two feet long and four inches wide.

Their shape resembles a water ski, especially in the tip design. Rollers, also plastic, run along the entire bottom of the ski. Regular bindings are mounted on the skis and one uses regular boots and poles. The skis run quite smoothly along the grassy hill and sound like skateboards. Turfskiing at Bromley was introduced by Wally Frye, manager of the ski shop here, and Fred Rogers, formerly of Bennington, who is area manager.

They have bought 26 pairs for use as rentals, but can get any number on short notice tor interested enthusiasts. -H- South Vietnam. Some had been on the march four days. U.S. commanders earlier had moved more than a score of artillery bases out of Cambodia.

Some were set up in South Vietnam near the frontier. Their guns boomed all day, protecting the South Vietnambound infantrymen. As the Americans moved to the South Vietnamese border, they blew huge holes in roads and felled trees in an effort to slow Communist attempts to haul new supplies to the border. They also spread a crystallinetype tear gas that lingers from two weeks to six months in Communist bunkers, supply bunkers and along trails. Allied communiques said today the operation into Cambodia which began in late April had captured or destroyed 29,627 weapons, more than 11,000 tons of munitions and more than 8,500 tons of rice.

They said 14,488 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong had been killed and 1,427 captured. American spokesmen said the United States lost 339 men killed and 1,509 wounded in the Cambodian operation with South sector northwest of Saigon. They, said 300 American advisers were still in Cambodia with the 39,000 South Vietnamese still there but would return Tuesday. In Phnom Penh, Cambodian Premier Lon Nol said the Communist threat to the Cambodian capital had diminished, but he appealed again for continued U.S. air support.

As the last Americans were leaving Cambodia the South Vietnamese opened a new offensive. Military sources said a armored column was driving inland across northeastern Cambodia toward the new Communist supply route down the Mekong River valley. The sources said the offensive was moving along Route 19 toward Stung Treng, 160 miles northeast of Phnom Penh. Stung Treng has been in North Vietnamese hands for six weeks and is on the new supply route running down through Laos. Highway 19 links Pleiku in South Vietnams Central Highlands with Stung Treng on the Mekong.

I At the same time, a1nilitary communique from Phnom Penh said 300 Communist troops were killed in a weeklong operation which cleared Highway 5 from Skoun, 35 miles northeast of Phnom Penh, to Kongpong Thom, 80 miles north of the capital. The communique said friendly aircraft played an important supporting role, an apparent reference to U.S. planes. Of the 1,700 American troops left in Cambodia at dawn Monday, one rifle battalion of the lst Air Cavalry Division was lifted out by helicopter. The rest of the GIs swept through the overgrown and dripping jungle terrain on foot, searching for Communist supply caches as they worked their way toward the border of PERU.

The Lords Prayer trail has been groomed more than most of the trails, and bamboo slalom poles mark the few immovable hazards.

The J-bar will be in operation for the remainder of the summer, on weekends only. The skis may be rented from the Bromley Shop during the week though one will have to climb the trail then. For $3.50 an hour, one can rent the Turf-skis, boots and poles and use of the ski tow. It will be $2 on weekdays. Sunday was amusing in many ways.

Because of heavy rains for the previous two days, the trail was obviously wet. Many who tried the skis came down with muddy pants and hay-covered shirts. The falls were often spectacular. Many looked as if they were sliding into homeplate. Those who were there over the weekend were really sort of guinea pigs, it will be up to them to spread the word good or bad.

Turfskiing has not been tried on a large scale anywhere in the U.S. Only Toronto, Ontario, has a larger setup. From the comments overheard and the looks on faces, however, one more sport may be added to the long list of summer activities in Vermont Nearly everyone was slightly amazed (and sore) after the first run. Falling on grass and dirt really seems to hurt more than on snow. But after a second attempt they began to catch on and the wipe outs See TURFSKIING Page 16, Col.

1 SAIGON (UPI) The United States today completed withdrawal of U.S. troops from Cambodia a full day ahead of President Nixons June 30 deadline, military sources reported. At the same time, the United States and South Vietnam began a massive airlift of arms to Phnom Penh.
