The Air Force confirmed a mis sile had been fired from the Cape, but as is usual in the case of the Goose declined to comment on details. The Goose flies at supersonic speeds, upwards of 2,000 m.p.h It has the primary function ol acting as a decoy to confuse en emy radar. This permits an at tacking force to sweep in on en emy targets with a minimum of opposition. Launching of the porpoise-like missile was visible from the beaches. As in the case of pre vious. Goose launchings, two jet chase planes streaked after the surface-to-surface missile follow ins takeoff to observe its progress. The Goose is powered by a solid fuel booster rocket for takeoff and 2.000-nound thrust turbojet engine for sustained flight. Developed and produced . by Fairchild Air craft, the Goose reportedly has a fiber and glass body that, makes it immune to radar and other types of early warning systems.

According to us, the poultry man should be told what to do with turkeys at 98 cents a pound but our wife was firm. She said a 15-pounder was about right. This means we will still be gelling me eyes, ears, nose and throat in hash a fortnight later. So we spent $14.70 for a turkey. The kind of turkey we gol, t there were any justice lhe pip would have got him first. Wc buy cranberry sauce, irom Sweden, at 84 cents a small can. And mixed nuts in the shell at 63 cents a pound.
