is an up and coming community, and the city fathers do not intend to be caught flatfooted if a flying saucer decides 1 to land here to visit Kenneth Arnold, the Boise flyer and engineer who spotted the first such phenomena in 1947. The the city council have approved a fee-schedule for flying saucers wishing to use the Boise airport. The landing fee has been fixed at $50 per saucer for non-scheduled flights and the fee must be paid in U. S. currency.

Interplanetary greenbacks will not be accepted. If the saucer radios in for a scheduled landing, all fees will be waived. If the saucer merely desires to hover over the field at an altitude of less than 100 feet, there will be a standard fee of $10 for the first three minutes of hovering and $10 for each additional minute. "This is merely the city's usual forward looking action," says Mayor R. E.

Edlefsen. Arnold, who set off the flying saucer uproar five years ago when he reported the first flight of nine, will allow any saucer to land for free in his own private landing field on the outskirts of the city.

He has become an informal clearing house for saucer news and magazine reports from the four corners of the globe. It is a big mistake to believe that flying saucers have been seen only over this continent, Arnold said. "They have been seen all over the world, including Russia, Africa, Korea and northern Europe." Although Arnold is convinced that the saucers are not a menacing or attacking force he is not at all certain that aircraft have not collided with them in recent years. No one has lived to tell the tale, but this would explain, some otherwise inexplicable air disasters in the past, five years. The Boise man believes the saucers are large, gelatinous masses that vaporize when they hit the ground.

This, too, might explain why the phenomenon seems able to change its density in flight, a peculiarity noted by a number of observers. Arnold has several aviation inventions to his credit and is highly regarded in his home city. He is not only a most successful fire control engineer but is an acting deputy federal U. S. marshal, a member of the Idaho arid- rescue- mercy flyers and a flying deputy for the county aerial posse.

IT WAS WHILE on a search mission in 1947 that he saw the first saucers and accidentally gave them the picturesque name that has stuck ever since. At that time he said "they flew like a saucer would if you skipped it across water." With Ray Palmer, he is the author of one of the first books about the flying objects, a volume called 'The Coming of the Saucers." To unbelievers and scoffers he simply tells the story of the pigeon that flew head-on into a plate glass window. Limping home with feathers be-draggled, the pigeon told his companions of his terrible experience. "The air suddenly froze solid in front of me," he declared. The other pigeons looked at him in disbelief and sneered: Tell that to the sparrows." CRUSHED STONE For feed Iota, driveway! and balldlaf approaches.

who plan to camp in the woods this summer might do well to go west rather than isputhior east. The hot, dry weather that has plagued farmers in the south, along the Atlantic seaboard and in New England has burned most forest lands into tinder boxes. The wood is extremely dry and the fire danger is great. This information comes from officials of the national park service and the forest service who nevertheless say that park and recreation areas will remain open under present plans. Field trips have revealed that woods in the western part of the country are in much better shape than those elsewhere.

The biggest vacation area in the south is in the Great Smoky region of Tennessee and North Carolina. And it's also the one hardest hit by the dry weather. Old-timers said they have never seen streams at such a low level. Some are completely dried up. Park superintendents two-month dry spell the worst drought in history in the area.

Emergency fire control aides already have been employed to stop-small fires in the Smokies. Swimmers may have a hard time- finding much more than pools in the Smoky The once deep, clear pools formed along the many mountain streams are no at least-not this year. The-low water level also puts a crimp in fishing. This reportedly is true not only in the Smokies but in many streams in the New England area. Generally, scenery lovers don't have to worry about missing anything.

As a matter of fact, leaves in the Great Smoky area are prematurely turning into the more colorful fall hues because of the weather. Campers who decide to stay in the dry areas will find plenty of food and drinking water. Park, officials pointed out that most of the recreation areas are near the source of streams. Otherwise, water is piped in for drinking. Park and forest.

officials emphasized that they expect near- normal conditions throughout the camp and recreation' areas if one good soaking rain comes along.
