The area flying club plans a second plane, with Beechcraft Debonair due in about a month.

Docking Hints But Won't Commit Self On Third Term
AP reports Gov. George Docking hints he may seek a third term but declines to commit. He says Harry Darby is the only potential Republican he would loathe to run against, noting Darby withdrew due to his wife’s wishes. Other Republicans are named as possible candidates, with John Anderson and William Addington already announced. Docking refuses to confirm plans for governor, U.S. Senate, or retirement, saying he does not know when a decision will come. He cites a recent job offer and says party rivals could be subject to a crusade, depending on who enters. A tax bill question yields: it would depend on the bill’s wording.
