High Kansas winds entertain and inconvenience
High gusting winds inconvenienced many persons yesterday but provided recreation for others.
A group of Templin Hall residents took advantage of gusts up to 65 miles per hour by rigging a sail on a luggage cart and guiding the craft across the Templin parking area. The students named the unorthodox vehicle the Alpha Sig Schooner.
Police and fire department officials said no injuries or traffic disturbances were caused by the winds, which the Lawrence airport said had settled down to gusts of 35 to 40 miles per hour by afternoon.
Three power outages from branches blown onto lines were reported by Kansas Power and Light, but none were considered serious.
Minor property damage was done by the wind, and motor and pedestrian traffic was slowed by dust and airborne debris. Objects as large as garbage cans were blown across streets and sidewalks.

Can you find the one thing we haven't changed?
It's not our engine. We've changed our engine 4 times since we introduced the bug in 1949.
And each time we've made it stronger. So today you can drive the bug 78 mph all day. And not harm the engine.
It's not our transmission. In '61, we synchronized all 4 forward gears for smoother shifting.
And just this year, we introduced a new optional transmission: the automatic stick shift.
Like most automatics, it has a Low, a Drive, and naturally, no clutch. But unlike most automatics, it has both a stick shift and an extra gear.
Once you're cruising above 55 mph, you simply shift our stick into our extra gear. And save extra gas.
This year alone, we've made 36 changes in the bug.
For instance, we've moved our bumpers up. And strengthened them. We've enlarged our windshield wiper blades. Installed a telescoping steering column. Included seat belts for all seats. And added extra padding all around.
What's the one thing we haven't changed since 1949?
The basic idea behind the bug
For instance, it still costs less to buy than most other cars. And it still costs less to run than most other cars.
Even with all our changes, it's still the honest, sensible, economy car it started out to be 19 years ago.
In fact, not changing the basic idea behind our car is probably the best thing we've ever done.
probably the best thing we've ever done.
Because in 1949, we sold only 2 cars.
But since then, we've sold almost 3 million
