Auxiliary members who serv ed Wednesday were Hazel Kin caid, hospital chairman: Mrs. James Lillie, state commander; Flying Disks Said To Be Old Stuff; Romans Saw Them Norman, Okla (U.R Flying saucers are as old as the human race and the Romans of 2,000 years ago even had a name for them, a University of Oklahoma professor contends. Frank G. Tappan, professor of electrical engineering, said, "Cae sar's people called the mystery disks muscae volitantes flying flies." Here's Tappan's theory on the saucers: Theory Outlined "Due to impurities in the vitre ous humor of the eyeball or to scars on its surface, you can see small discs, saucers, cylinders, beads or strings of beads. "They are particularly notice able when seen against the background of a clear sky. They may drift about in the eye. They are seldom in the center of the field of vision and the eye turns automatically to bring them into the center. "Naturally," he said, "they move still farther ahead and the eye follows. If you imagine you are seeing something external to the eye and far out in space, you decide they are moving at tre mendous speed across the sky." Tappan said something of this sort occurs when persons in elec trical storms "see" fireballs en tering their rooms. Lightning Flashes "If the person hadn't been look ing exactly in the direction I where a lightning flash takes j place, the brilliant flash leaves a positive after image on the ret ina of the eye," he explains. "The eye tries to bring it into the center of the field of vision but it moves ahead. The person chases it around the room, finally loses it in the brightness of a fireplace or of a window." Tappan believes 99 per cent of ; today's flying saucers can be ex plained by this phenomenon. One per cent, he said, may be ' balloons, planes or meteors. j "I myself," he declared, "have ; been seeing flying saucers for 50 I years." j The Grange Lake Creek Grange At the last meeting of Lake Creek Grange 21 members at tended.
