THE CORT Is riiesel powered. Its beam (width) is 105 feet, leaving it only inches to spare in clearing the Poe Lock at Sault Ste. Marie. Its maiden voyage was supposed to lie last year, but Bethlehem refused to accept the ship because of difficulties with its self-unloading system. This too is unique, consisting of a conveyor belt running the length of the ship to an elevator at the stern.

Bethlehem has declined to say what the Cort cost. I5Y MICHAEL MAIDE.NBI: RG Fret Presi Staff Wrlir The longest ship to sail the Great Lakes' will slide by Detroit by at 8 a. m. Tuesday, April 2a. The Stewart J.

Cort is feet long, almost 209 feet longer than anything now afloat on the lakes. It is also the lakes' fastest ship, able to carry 51,500 tons of taconite ore at speeds up to Ifi'rt miles per hour. The Cort is owned by Bethlehem Steel Corp. and is designed to run between Taconite Harbor, and Rurns Harbor, where Bethlehem operates the country's largest blast furnace. ITS ROUTE will take it frequently past Sault Ste.

I am eight states short and they are scattered all over you-know-where's half acre, as the lei low said. or some strange reason, there has been no contact with Connecticut. New Jersey, yes; Massachusetts, yes; Rhode Island, yes; but Connecticut, no.

George Romney is probably to blame for thishe didn't campaign there in 1968, at least not while I was around. But the question is: Would it be worth it to rim over there and touch base, just to keep a record alive? I'll to think about it. 'ITie trouble is that a trip to Connecticut wouldn't do any fvd as far as the. other seven states are concerned, for they arp located in the Northwest and Pacific Northwest.

But Connecticut is something else. Maybe they will put it on my tombstone: "He Never Visited Connecticut Actually, my claim to some other states is rather sketchy, thanks to the airplane. In for example, there was a flight from San Francisco to Chicago aboard a and we made pit slops at Elko, Nevada, and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Leastwise, it does Under My Government. Man and boy, your commentator has lived in eight states Kentucky, Ohio, Louisiana, California, Illinois, Florida, Georgia and Michigan and he has no loud and long complaints against any of them, although there are two on the list to which he would not return short of dire necessity. Which two? I refuse to answer on the grounds that it kk it In Krie, 8.16 feel of body was added between the bow ami stern might incriminate me. "worth living in," at least on sump; 4 experimental basis, are Colorado, Arizona, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. I have been particularly intrigued by North Carolina, for it seems to have a mixture of just about everything mountains, sea shore, plains, agriculture, industry, college communities and just nice folks.

There is some reservation, though, as to the climate down there in the summer months. When a resort such as Pinchurst docs not keep all of its hotels and golf courses open in June, July and August, you can bet they aren't worried about goose pimples. Outside of the cities, much of America remains beautiful, some of it brealh-takingly so. What do you like in the way of scenery? For rolling countryside, tenderly treated, I have never seen anything the equal of the area around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. On another scale, with higher hills and deeper valleys, bow about the Shenandoah Valley? Vermont and New Hampshire are gorgeous, at least in the non-winter months, and for "lake country" you can't beat Michigan and Wisconsin.

(Minnesota will lip-in at this juncture, but I have not been there, as noted.) There is a "majesty" about Colorado, and to a lesser extent, Arizona, that is appealing beyond words. At one time I hod serious designs on Colorado Springs as a place to live, but gave up on it when it became "over-touristed." San Francisco has changed since World War II, but is still probably the finest city in America, and I could even embrace certain spots in Southern California if you would let me pick 'em. Tennessee is a "down home" state, with a pace and way-of-life all its own, and so is Kentucky. Where is it prettier than the lilue Grass regions adjacent hi Lexington, which is becoming quite a city? And F.crea is quaint and charming, too, with one of the most unusual colleges in all or our land, the heart and soul in many respects of Appalachia. We have not said a word about Florida, which is a great to visit, but beyond that I will not go: I left there with the d.midest case of acute prickly heat you ever saw in all of your born days.

The whole trend of Scripture teaches that the innocents who are too young to wilfully sin, and too young to accept Christ intelligently, are safe in the arms of a just and holy God.

You need never fear about God being unjust. His justice is from everlasting to everlasting. When Christ calls His own, everyone who has made Him Lord and Savior, will answer the call, along with those innocent ones who have never sinned.
