Thousands See Flying Objects In New Mexico EARMINGTON, N. M.. March 20 (.TO Folka hereabouts agreed they aaw something in the sky at noon Friday, but nobody seemed to know what. All of the 250 persons Interview ed by Walt Rogal, editor of the Farmington Times, admitted s re in g what waa generally described as a mass flight of flying objects. They were skeptical as to what the objects were. Some thought a new secret weapon; some flying saucers; and at least one pieces of cotton. Rogal estimated 85 percent of thia town's population of 6,100 aaw the objects. Most folks who would talk about it thought the things were about 15.000 feet high. They told of watching them hover over the town for about 20 minutes, then speed away to the northeast. Harold F. Thatcher, 43, head of the Farmington, unit of the aoil conservation service, said he made a triangulation on one of the ob jects. He said it showed they were about 20.000 feet up and travelling 1.000 milea an hour or more. He thought the object was "at least the size of a B-36, maybe larger." State Patrolman Andy Andrews provoked argument by stating he watched tfiree of the objecta land on the roof of a Farmington gar age and that they turned out to be pieces of cotton. No explanation could be offered by Kirtland air force base, the Civil Aeronautics authority nor Los Alamos atomic laboratory officials. Editor George Bowra of the Aztec Independent said he view ed the objects through a power glass from Aztec. He said what was seen is a atar or planet about two hours ahead of the sun. He said cloud movement gave the im pression of great speed. END OF MILL VILLAGES CHAPEL HILL, N. C. (JP) A deep-rooted tradition of the South the cotton mill village is disintegrating. Southern cotton mills, which for years have rented scores of village homes, are Bell ing the dwellings to workers. The break-up of this mill-worker relationship, often termed "feudal istic" by its many critics, is de scribed in a book recently pub lished by the University of North Carolina Press. Harriet L. Herring of the university is the author. Pride in home ownership and in dividuality are quickly reflected, the author says She notes; "Some of the people paint their houses soon after purchasing them even if this ia not particularly neces sary, using a different color from the neighbors and often putting a trimming in bright contrasting colors."
