Harris, 54, died June 14. Harris had been an invalid since 1970 when he was injured in a motorcycle accident. Named as the defendant was Dellaren Inc. The nursing home has since been sold to Beverly Enter-prises, based in Pasadena, and renamed Woodbridge Health Care Center. The air conditioning at Dellaren had been out of order for four weeks before Harris' death, according to the suit.

It accuses Dellaren and its employees of negligence for failing to relocate residents; failing to notify physicians of the dangerous heat so proper treatment could be administered: failing to properly care for the patients living in excessive heat; and failing to keep the air conditioning working or providing an alternative air circulation system. State Board of Health records showed that Harris' body temperature was 104 degrees when he died, and that the room temperature was between 85 and 90 when investigators visited the day after his death. bxygen andreturned to the hospital.

We were afraid we wouldn't get to the International Airport at Indianapolis It was snowing so hard visibility was almost zero. But it stopped. Our niece. Marlene Riley, pulled up in front of our, house, ten minutes early but we were ready. We made it in good time, of course, with you along.

We had lunch and wine after which we had ten minutes to get to our departure gate TWA 33. It's Murphy's Law your terminal gate for both departure and arrival is always the last one. The first phase of this trip is over. That's the preparation, planning, purchase of tickets, et cetera That in itself is fun. The second phase began today as we headed for Indianapolis.

We are now seated in a TWA 747 with a window seat. Although the window is a bit foggy we wave goodbye to Marlene. Nonstop to JFK airport. We view the snow covered fields of Indiana briefly before we fly above the clouds. It was nothing but clouds until we approach New York.

At a lower altitude as we prepare for landing we see two luxury liners almost side by side and then snow and ice- covered New York City. Our first goef of this trip. We waited at the wrong spot to pick up our luggage until a lady suggested it might be at the other end of the room. No sweat. We had plenty of time.

So we must locate and get to the Pan Am terminal quite a distance from TWA's. We boarded a shuttle bus crowded to the door carrying our luggage. Courtesy is alive today The gentleman seated near the door gave us his seat. These people in New York are not all bad. It turned out he was from Brazil.

South America and worked for DuPont Corporation. We located our CSA ticket counter and looked for our tour director. We were to meet at 5 p.m. and get our overseas ticket, passport and visas from him. The airline took our luggage and gave us a claim ticket even without our airline ticket We looked for other members of our group and went upstairs to a cocktail lounge, had a quick beer, cost was $2.25 for a glass not a bottle.

N. Y.C. is expensive. We locate our group, supposed to have been 21. but a professor failed to show up.

We left him behind. A congenial group we could tell from the start. We met some of the younger people and a couple of Over 50's in the group among them Tony Perezlulta. Cranford, New Jersey. 62.

As we meet other members of this group we will give you their full names. And later on a few notes about them. We want you to know your traveling companions. We "lucked out" on our seating. It was up front with a table in front of us and plenty of leg room.

We even had an empty seat between us for our hand luggage. Our seat companion was Allen Rosen. Spring Valley. New York, a young man in his twenties of the Jewish faith. The weather in New York was 37 degrees it's January 18 and what a relief to shed all this heavy clothing we were wearing.

Now at 8:10 p.m. we are over the Atlantic Ocean headed for Prague, Czechoslovakia. Across the aisle is Robert Fyne. our director. Fords.

New Jersey and this pretty college student who keeps smiling at us. Kelly S. Smith. Millington. New Jersey.

There is no movie aboard this plane, thank goodness, even though we will be flying through the night for our arrival around 9:10 a.m. in Prague. Czechoslovakia. We'll tell you about it in next column. New university asked (continued from paf one) Clyde R.
