Parachutists From 2 More Colleges To Compete In Woodbury Saturday What started out as an in-this formal individual parachuting competition between students from Harvard, Dartmouth and Williams, has grown into a nearly all Ivy League event. Added to the hard core of collegians who will try to out-jump each other are Yale, Columbia and possibly Princeton students.

Strictly Unofficial This first collegiate parachuting contest is strictly unofficial as far as the jumpers' schools are concerned. Parachuting is not recognized a sport at of Woodbury, on Saturday. a Cessna 170 at 2,100 feet above any of the colleges except Princetoction where but it only has one univer- novice jumper. The young men will leap from Good Hill Farm, the home, farm and airport of S. Lawrence Pond A lime circle 100 meters in diameter, will be drawn on Pond's air strip.

Each contestant will jump twice and try to hit the middle of that circle. Maximum score for each jump will be 150 points and one point will be subtracted for each meter off center. Representing Yale (unofficially) will be Peter Pond, nephew of the meet's host, a student at Yale Divinity School. Method of Timing From a usually reliable source, comes the story that Pond has an unusual method of timing his rip cord pull. Most jumpers will count out four seconds, more or less, for what is called an immediate opening, to give themselves ample clearance from the carrier plane.

'The ministry student parachutist is said to start with "Our" as he leaves. the plane. Next is "Father" spoken slowly and deliberately. Then, "who." And as soon as he clips the hard 't' in "art" off the end of his tongue, Pond reaches in toward chest and yanks the metal handle which opens his parachute. Joseph Crane, president of the International Parachuting Commission, will be head judge on the landings.

The long time sport parachuting supporter was recently appointed to his internaltional position, having many years as head of National Parachute Jumpers Riggers, the official U.S. parachuting association. Also overseeing activities will be Jacques A. Istel, captain of the 1956 U.S. Parachuting team which competed in Moscow last summer.

Istel, himself a Princeton graduate, and Lew Sanborn, high scorer on the U.S. team, will be on hand to direct the jumps and act as safety officials. One or the other will fly up with each collegiate parachutist. Most likely contenders for the individual championships will be members of the Cambridge (Mass.) Parachute Club, a group of Harvard University jumpers. The club has ten members, three of whom have more than 30 jumps each to their credit.

It also has its own, pilot and parachutes, and is better organized than parachuting groups on any other campus. Weather permitting, the meet will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday. If wind or rain intrude, the meet will be held the following Saturday, ay 11. Indications are that two national magazines and at least one television company will be on hand to cover what may be a historic moment in the birth of on America's campuses, a sport which is well-established in Europe.

Crane and Istel will have their eyes. open for potential members of the 1958 U.S. Parachuting which will compete next summer in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Giant Air Force Solar Furnace To Harness Rays For Defense Use BALTIMORE, April 28 (P) The Air Force announced today development of a giant solar furnace to produce temperatures up to 000 degrees Fahrenheit-70 per cent as hot as the sun's surface. The Air Research and Development Command and its physicists at Holloman (N.M.) Air Development Center are designing the furnace to harness the sun's rays.

The announcement said it would be "more efficient than the largest existing solar furnace at Mt. Louis in the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain." Some Of Uses The furnace is to be used by the Air Force, Army, Navy, Atomic Advisory Energy Committee Commission, for nautics and various industries engaged in national defense work. The ARDC said its most quent use would be studying the effects of rapid temperature changes on metals usd in missil structures. One portion of the three-part will be a heliostat, the primary, sun mirror 130 and 140 feet wide. Sun rays striking the heliostat are reflected so they travel parallel to the ground, toward a parabolic, or specially curved, mirror.

Between the heliostat aid the mirror is a shutter which operates like a venetian blind in regulating the amount of sunlight traveling between the other two devices. The huge furnace is to be located about 35 miles from Holloman, in the Sacramento Mountains of South-Central New Mexico. The theory of design was developed by Dr. Paul Jose, director of research and development materials at Holloman.

And happy, too, when Baby had a litter of four kittens.

Then he discovered the intruder. A black field mouse had squeezed in amongst Baby's four new kittens, and all five were nursing from the unconcerned mother cat. 'What a cat," mused Orozco. "We have her to keep mice out of our storeroom-and just look at her. She thinks more of that mouse than she does of her kittens.

Keeps the mouse always nuzzling and licking "And that mouse," the chief reflected, "I guess he never heard about cats." "Baby knows what she's commented one observer. "She's fattening it up."
