A story appearing in the September 8 issue of the Wichita Eagle by Don Pinkston, reporter, concerning a 12-ycar-old Coldwater boy, John Jacob Swaim seeing a "flying saucer and a little man" was sent to The Telescope by Mrs.

Clara Blakeloy of Scandia, a great-aunt of the boy. The boy's story seemed to be backed up by odd-looking footsteps found in the farm field of his father, John Swaim, the next morning by the county sheriff and other spectators.

Mrs. John Swaim, the boy's mother, is a niece of Mrs.

Blakeley. More people read the Telescope than any other paper in North Central THANKS I desire to thank each every person that avS me in the wonderful vote I got on election day, November 2, 1954. I wish each and everyone good health and pro.sperity, HENRY H. VAN NATTA Advertisement Byron Mrs. D.
