Certain things can tot be made up, states Erich 7on Daniken in his timely took, Chariots of the Gods?, tnd he would not be ransack - ng our prehistory for space tra ilers and heavenly aircraft if ccounts of such apparitions ppeared in only two or thr ie ncient books. But when near y all the texts of the primi - ive peoples all over the globe u ell the same story, he decide t is time to enter the new rorld of the improbable with •n open mind. The author further asserts hat asking questions about our last does not mean that he is rreligious. In fact, he is con •inced that when the last ques ion has been given a genuine nd convincing answer, Some hing, which he calls God for Hunter Safety Program Now Available Recently the North Carolina Vildlife Resources Commission ssumed the role of administeri ng a Hunter Safety program in Forth Carolina. A great many ates now require this same ourse before a hunting license : issued, but as of now this is ot a requirement in this State. For many years the Com.his on has been presenting Hunter ifety programs on a limited ba !, but as of January 1972 a spe al grcxip of officers was assign to administer this program by .lizing Wildlife Commission rsonnel and qualified volun - :rs who could teach Hunter fety to young people and adults. Although the course is not man tory in this State, it is being ered by the Commission and : graduation certificates that issued are honored in all er states where this program nandatory. In trying to place qualified tructors in every area of the te so that everyone will have benefit of receiving this rthwhile course of instruction, Wildlife-Resources Commis n announces tije appointment .

Professional Driver #1 20.3 Professional Driver #2 17.4 Housewife #1 20.2 Housewife #2 16.3 Hugh Downs 19.7 On December 28, 1973, five production line Ford LTD 4-door pillared hardtops equipped with 351 CID V-8 engines were driven from Phoenix to Los Angeles. The Fords were driven by three non professional and two professional drivers at speeds not exceeding 50 mph. The 5-car gas mileage average: 18.8 mpg. One experienced economy driver averaged 20.3 mpg, and a housewife from Scottsdale, ________ Arizona, averaged 20.2 mpg. Os course, mileage depends on JS&n maintenance, driving habits, total TOUUXJK weight, road and drying condi pilßL tions . . . and you may not get the economy same results. BOOK Yet, if you followed the driving tips published in The Closer You Look Fuel Economy Book (free at your Ford Dealer's), you'd find the six-passenger Ford LTD rides with noteworthy efficiency. Even under city driving conditions. A funny thing about size—and luxury. When you do your new car "homework," you may notice that many luxury automobiles are loni er and heavier than the Ford LTD. Yet when you -Jen the doors, and the trunk, the difference disappears. There is ample trunk space and six-passenger roomi ness inside the Ford. The luxurious appoint Joe Young Ford, Inc. Burnsville want of a better name, willre main for eternity. So, Chariots of the Gods? does not contradict the Bible; actually, it confirms it. For instance, the account of the Great Flood is inscribed on Stone tablets in several lan - guages. Ancient legends par allel many stories found in the Bible, such as the story of the birth of Moses. One does not have to reject Biblical history in order to believe the other. The author declares he is only seeking the truth amid a vast array of unexplained mys teries and oddities. He begs us to take off our blinkers and join the search. Finally he dreams of a Utopian archaeo logical year during which arch eologists, physicists, chemists; geologists, metallurgists, and other branches of these scien - ces will concentrate their ef forts on one single question!
