Maj. Christopher Davey, 34, wiping tears from his cheeks, and Don Cameron, 37, re scued from the sea off France hours earlier, said they had to make a decision when they were really too exhausted to make an accurate decision on whether to jettison fuel or try to continue on to Europe. “We thought the cumulus cloud might suck us up,” Cameron told a news conference at this control base for their flight. “If we had con tinued as we were we might have been able to land in Spain.” The balloonists were emotional as they lis tened to a tape of the last few moments before they ditched and were picked up by a French trawler 117 miles west of the French port of Brest. “Th ere was this enormous great cumulus cloud and we began throwing everything off. Then it moved on and we thought we still had a chance,” Davey said. “But it was a question whether we might have to splash down in the Bay of Biscay in the middle of the night, or right then, and we took the easy option and came down with everyone around us. Davey said the ditching was “an agonizing decision, but we could not survive another night. ” When they were 500 miles from the Euro pean coast, he said, it became obvious that un less they could operate at 15,000 feet there was no alternative to landing in the sea. They were beginning to run short of fuel and helium and they were unable to rise above 4,500 feet and there was no way they could reach France at that height. “We made a heck of a lot of mistakes, none of them fatal — but there are four or five errors which, if we had not made them, we would have arrived,” he said. Davey said one of the reasons they were keeping things to themselves was because of a coming attempt by three American balloonists with whom they have friendly relations. “We wish the Americans what they wished us,” he said, “an extraordinarily safe rescue."

But naturally religious? No. 85 million Americans have no expressed faith. Millions more don’t practice the faith they pro fess. Millions more, every year, drift away from faith altogether. If you believe in the power of the Gospel of Jesus and think His Gospel still has something to offer America, then maybe you should investigate the Paulist way of life. The Paulists are a small com munity of Catholic priests who have been bringing the Gospel of Jesus to the American People in innovative ways for over 100 years. We do this everyday through the communication arts—books, , publications, television and radio —on college campuses, in par ishes, in missions in the U.S., in downtown centers, in working with young and old. We don’t believe in sitting back. Do you? THE ppuim Missionaries to Modern America 5 Mail to: Rev.Frank DeSiano,C.S.P., Room A - 2 2 2 PAULIST FATHERS 415 West 59th Street New York, N.Y. 10019 Name.
