And you know ether is combustible. It was only luck that they didn't all get blown up." The success of the first and subsequent trial operations with ether so electrified those Boston medical men fortunate enough to view them that they starting writing to their doctor friends abroad to tell tWem of the new And, according to Dr. Fitz, it was typical of American skepticism even at that time that only when English and French medical journals placed their stamp of approval on the use of ether did the procedure spread beyond Boston to other medical centers in this nation.

At San Diego, authorities said they received no reports of such a phenomenon and were frankly skeptical of it.

Police said they had received no calls at the time. The Daily News said at least a dozen persons testified that on the night of Oct. 9 a "large and weird object," with something that looked like wings had appeared over the city. "It was shaped like a bullet and it left a thin vapor trail behind it," the News quoted L. Nabers, San Diego County Hospital attendant, as saying.

Meade Layne, editor of an occult publication called the "Round Robin," was reported as putting a medium to work on the supposed sighting. The medium claimed it was a "space ship named Carceta" from an unidentified planet, the News said. He added the "ship" didn't land because "they're afraid of the reception they'll get." strangulation.

At present it is hoped that the main run will be widened considerably and extended 300-400 feet farther up the hill. In addition, runs are being cleared on each side of the main run, each about 200 feet wide, Dr.

Gullion said. The donation of "goop" (a magnesium substance) by the Forest Service is hastening the burning operations, and free doughnuts and coffee are served to all workers. Tows Planned This winter there will probably be two ski tows in the area, Dr. Gullion said.
