I can’t see a ball when it’s coming, sir,” said Beetle. “I’ve had my gig-lamps smashed at the Nets till I got excused. I wasn’t any good even as a fag, then, sir.”

“Tuck is probably your form. Tuck and brewing. Why can’t you three take any interest int he honour of your House?”

I don’t understand it, but, as I am getting pretty old now, I don’t much care.—Robert Benchley, “Ask Me a Question”

The amusing part of it was that when I dropped away from the Los Angeles and became the great glider expert, my total glider time was about 25 minutes. And I hadn’t flown anything in a year. I was busy pushing pencils around in the Bureau. They said, “Don’t you want to take the glider out and do an auto tow or something to make a test run on it?“ I said, “I don’t know. I’m afraid I might crack it up. If I’m at 3000 feet I ought to be able to learn to fly it on the way down.”

Conceived and built by its pilot, this unlikely-looking contraption may spark a revolution in aviation for the masses. It}s a revolution that would enable us to soar through the skies in flying machines costing about as much as a motorcycle but far safer and even simpler to operate.

“For a few thousand dollars, we could put out a machine that could be driven to work in the morning just like a car,” says Nicolaides. “When you wanted to fly, you could just take the parafoil out of a locker, assemble it and lay it on the ground behind you, get in, and gun the engine. The parafoil will inflate and rise off the ground like a kite, taking you into the air a few hundred feet,” he said.

Say goodbye to the old-fashioned metal pots and pans. You do not use them when cooking in the Radarange! You can cook food, in family portions if you want, on dishes made from glass, plastic, yes, even paper. Imagine, no after-meal clean up of pots or pans!

…

In just a short time you will be using the Radarange for most of your food preparation. It will become the center of most of your food preparation. In fact, it will help you prepare 75-80% of the foods that you serve your family.

But don’t be surprised if the party ends up in the kitchen—your Radarange may turn out to be the conversation piece that provides the spark for your party.

Many of you will continue to send food packages to servicemen. Both the Milk Chocolate Almond Bars and the Chewy Chocolate Log will pack and travel well. And besides, they’re sure to produce a smile when tasted.

We have found that using a glass of water in the unit while cooking eggs, helps to slow the cooking somewhat. Also, that if eggs are allowed to stand a minute or two, in the unit, the temperatures equalize inside the yoke. However, there is a chance that the egg will erupt.

Your Radarange is ideally suited to the preparation of many kinds of desserts. Fruits have a fresh-fruit flavor that is superior to any other way that they may be cooked. Custards and puddings are especially smooth without the constant stirring usually necessary when they are cooked on a surface unit.
