SOARS WITH BAT-LIKE WINGS ;
Forest Service Smokejumper
Claims He Flies' Like a Bird'
Cave Junction, Ore., Nov. 18 U.R Bob Nolan, 23, Gardena,
Cal., imokejumper for the foret tervice, (aid today lie has been
able to soar In the air "like a big bird" with a special batman
harness o nylon wings.
That is, he has been able to "fly" for about 300 yards in the
air by waving his homemadef-
wings back and forth after jump
ing from a plane at 8.000 feet
over a mountain meadow.
"I've been experimenting
round with a suit of parachute
harness and two big wings of
nylon, 'one sheet attached be
tween my legs and the other
fastened between my wrists and
' hips," Noland said.
"We gave It a try up here In
the mountains last Saturday. I
Jumped from the plane and fell
about 1S00 feet before the wings
started working. When I flap
ped them about, I found I was
able to go into a kind of glide.
It was a real surprise. I felt
like a big bird."
He said the glide went 300
yards against the wind, and then
he began to fall "like any heavy
object."
The he pulled his emergency
parachute rope and came down
normally.
Witnesses to Nolan's feat were
Paul Block, another smoke
jumper: E. A. Scholz of Bridge
port, Conn., father of the pilot;
and Cliff Marshall, a foreman
at the Redwoods ranger station
here.
"Block and I had been talking
about it for a long time," Nolan
said. Now I intend to make
another outfit a little better
than the first and try It again
Nolan has made nearly 40
Jumps for the forest service,
but his "experiment" with wings,
he said, had nothing to do with
his regular work. He was a
parachutist for the 517th Para
chute Battalion in Europe dur
ing the war.

COMPULSORY HEALTH INSURANCE, under the
guise of broadening Social Security, would make
wage earner, more and more subservient to an already
top-heavy Federal bureaucracy. Every individual
would pay the full price of his medical care, through
deductions and additional taxes and would further
pay in lowered quality, less freedom of choice, and
snarls of red tape.
In a nation-wide survey by Opinion Research Cor
poration, three-fourths of the people stated their Doc
tor's bills were fair and reasonable. For large and unex
pected medical and hospital bills, 87 J4 preferred
VOLUNTARY pre-payment plans.
NOTHING is free about a COMPULSORY Health
Tax . . . don't allow it to become a compulsory tax
burden. Tell your Congressmen and Senators you do
not want it, and have your clubs act.
