Mr. and Mrs. «r tie Hooertson and

•ated the Fourth of July with Mr.
and Mrs. Jesse Thompson, former
Nv-sa residents, in the Thompson
ranch at McEwen, between Baker
and Sumpter.
While driving to Sumpter, some
members of the party heard
"low humming noise” and jumped
from one of the cars. Three of
the party saw the "discs", which
AHie Robertson described as
type of airplane. The objects were
traveling at sikh great speed and
at such great height, the other
cupant ■ of the two cars were un
ale to see them.
T ile four objects answered pre
vious descriptions of the “ flying
discs", but Robertson expressed the
opinion that they were a new type
of American Jet plane. They were
extremely shiny, but so far as the
observers could determine they had
no wings.

The two bids offered for the im­
provement of about four miles ol
Nyssa o streets, including paving
fnd curbing, were rejected by the
city council at its monthly meeting
Tuesday night.
The bids were rejected on the
grounds that they were too high
as compared to estimates prepared
by City Manager E. K. Burton. As
a re- ult of the rejection, the coun­
c i l re-advertise for bids.
George E. Corliss of Ontario bid

the cast were $30.033 for the in­
