Grant Edwards said he made the movies about three weeks ago while on a fishing trip at the Trinchera reservoir six miles southeast of Fort Garland, Colo. The movies, made on eight millimeter film, were taken at midday, the Center, Colo., man said. , , Harvey A.

U.R Athlet ic directors at Penn State's Behrend Center at Erie, Pa., are excited about a diminutive all around athlete who is "the most natural athlete, barring none," they have ever seen. The main cause for excitement Is the fact that the five-foot, 18-year-old sports star is a girl. Sarah Jane Whitney, Little Jane to her friends, can throw a football accurately 50 yards. She regularly plays touch tackle with the boys at the Behrend athletic field and can outdo most of them at the game. Amazed spectators gasp out such comments as, "I've never seen a man throw a ball like that," when Little Jane goes into her act: The boys, often embar rassed, just stand around and shake their heads while the m LWi $230p, OLD Hermitage Kenluch lllii-skeif t rtr i -ujicna $0 60 4A jl Gentleman's Whiskey from Kentucky' National Dim ill tn Prod.

Her timing and co-ordination are faultless. Even male physical instructors admit they can't pass a football any better. Football isn't the only sport at which Little Jane is outstand ing. She's high scorer on the girl's basketball team at the Penn State extension school and usually averages belter than 10 points a game, which is high for girl s rules. "I'm slightly small for good layup shots," Little Jane said. "I like to make set shots from farther out." Despite her modest admission, persons who have seen her play say her lay-up i.s the scourge of the opposition. Her one-handed hook shots would do credit to anyone and her set shots are sure cord whoppers. Little Jane admits playing "a pretty good game of soccer." She likes baseball, bowling and acro batics. The latter activity she practices atop a 40-foot ladder at her p a r e n ts' farm in West Springfield, Pa. "I'd rather pitch than play any other position in baseball," Little Jane said. "But I can catch, too. My hitting is well, just fair, I guess." Those who have watched the tiny dynamo on the diamond say her hitting is "just fair" when compared to boys' against girls' pitching. But under any circu stances, it's eood. I'm going to learn to play golf and tennis this spring," Little Jane said. "And I'm learning to swim, too. Her deeo interest in sports hasn't interfered with either her femininity or her studies.

San Francisco (U.R) Armed with a butcher's saw, a paring knife and some balsa wood, a 31- year-old house painter has set out to build a "real flying saucer." After four-and-a-half months' work, Tony Alanvi revealed his partially completed saucer, about seven feet in diameter. "It's a real saucer," he said "not a disc like some guys have built. Alani modeled his saucer by placing two saucers (coffee type) face to face. The outer frame model looks like a multinle-spoked giant wheel. Later he hopes to attach an engine after covering the sau cer with model airplane paper, No Experience A friend's excitement over "flying saucer" reports gave Alani the urce to build one to show people what a saucer real lv looks like.

Oscar Lem- ke, a jeweler, spends many of his free hours bringing recorded sermons to the old and ill mem bers of the Methodist congrega tion, to which he belonRS. Lemke decided he wanted to do things for other people on a regular basis. He started his project because he had a tape recorder and knew that his pas tor had members who could not get to church to hear the ser mons. So Lemke brings his recorder to church on Sundays and re cords the words of the Rev. Earl Allen of the Kingsley Methodist church. He says he has a "congrega tion within a congregation" of 20 members and is adding more. Students Find Food Goes Well in Plastic Seattle (U.R) Students at the University of Washington school ! of fisheries have gone into the : business of canning seafood in ! plastic cans. Clifford Soderslroin, 28. dis covered that transparent plastic cans are just the thing for hold ing chilled or frozen seafood. ! "1 filled a can with oysters and put it in the freezer," Sod erstrob said. "When I took it out six months Inter, the oysters wore In perfect condition." Three other fisheries students saw commercial possibilities in the transparent containers. Peter Wilson. Edward Stroup and Bix by Bonney sent two shipments of chilled crab packed in plastic to Honolulu. It worked fine. Bouncy, salesman of the group, said they plan to develop a machine so they won't have to make the can by hand.

In fact, he hasn't even any drawing plans. He began by tossing pie plates in the air and then started moulding appendages on them. Alani's model just about fills his apartment living room. The saucer model has cost about $70 so far and Alani thinks it will be double tha be fore he is finished. Most of the addition,,. will go for a model airplane I motor, mounted in the center. Alani said he will use delicate ! gears to reduce engine turns to 800 revolutions per minute. Normally that type of engine turns at 8,000 r.p.m.'s. Alani figures that slanted ducts will draw the air in at the top and expel it at the bottom as the umbrella-shaped model ro tates. That's my main theory on what is going to raise the thing," he said. Gears for Motion How will it go forward? That's easy,' 'the painter smiled. "I'll run gears down from the engine to propellers. They will give it forward motion, and counteract the torque caused by the rotating saucer." How does it come down? Alani already thought of that. He said he will install a para chute at the center. Two things have delayed com pletion. Alani said he lacks money and tools. However, he hopes someone will become interested and aid in producing a full-scale model. "Maybe if this saucer pays off, I can buy a home some day,'' the painter sighed.
