Moving Pictures of
Flying Saucer Shown
Alamosa, Colo., Apr. 26 (U.R)
An amateur movie enthusiast
who made colored motion pic
tures of what he believes were
two "flving saucers" held a show
ing of the film here today.
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. Kadish, editor of
the Alamosa Daily Currier, said
the movies revealed two uni
dentifiable objects in flight. The
objects left vapor trails across
the sky, Kadish said.

Little Jane Shows Boy Athletes
How Girls Can Excel in Sports
Pittsburgh, Pa. 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

pretty freshman co-ed flips the
ball from receiver to receiver
with the sease of a Luckman or
a Lujack.
She leads her target and hits
him like a bullet. 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. Her
high school graduating average
was 94.4 and she made three A s

ing her first college term. She is
a home economics major.

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.

Sermons on Records
Blessing to Shut-Ins
Milwaukee (U.R! 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

Seattle (U.R) Students at the

! 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.

ing experience. He never built
model airplanes as a boy. 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.
