Ed Frisbee Hollywood never said a spokesman for Eastern Airline? He said that nothing like that really happened We then talked to Fred Tasker one of the Herald reporters who covered the crash and wrote followup articles Tasker said there been any more published words on the ghost Tasker said the theme was that this same pilot had made a previous error as his plane approached the Mexico City airport and the plane crashed and the pilot felt guilty afterward 1 According to the book the ghost would only appear on Eastern flights with malfunctioning equipment The spirit would appear to stewardesses only tip them off to the trouble and then disappear when the problem was resolved Tasker said he called the author at hi's home on Vineyard Mass several years ago and asked for the whereabouts of the stewardesses who reportedly had seen the ghost author said he know their Tasker said The wife believed Tasker said but only after the ghost at the request made an appearence By LUTHER ALEXANDER JR Herald Staff Writer Four companies have applied to broadcast on UHF Channel 69 in Hollywood but questions about the finances of two of them must be answered before the channel is awarded The four companies Whitco Broadcasters Family Television 69 Golden East Broadcasters and Christian Media of Florida have applied for a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license to operate the commercial station which would serve Broward and Dade counties An FCC official in Miami said Thursday that financial reports filed by Whitco and Golden East failed to satisfy FCC officials in Washington John Theimer engineer in charge of the Miami district office said Whitco estimated it would cost $855265 to get the station on the air and operating for three months However the company indicated it had only $1000 on hand The remainder of the money Whitco said would come from a $950000 bank loan cannot depend upon the DMSO I FREE LECTURE FILMl Plus Question Answers with MD Prescription Required EVERY WED 10 AM CALL FOR RESERVATION BROWARD DADE 565-3676 944-9241 LAUDERDALE MEDICAL CTR at bait tackle shops book stores newsstands and marine supply stores MAKES A GREAT GIFT!

Weis-baum Plantation According to George Johnson Jr executive director of the Greyhound Club of America the dogs did indeed jump hurdles up until three or four years ago at Flagler Dog Track hurdles the hard kind used by human Johnson said were actually just big high brushes and some of the dogs got smart and would run through them instead of jumping over them The tracks stopped having hurdle rqces because while the crowds would pay to watch the dogs jump hurdles they bet any money on hurdle The monkey jockeys were used at the Miami Beach Kennel Club until the 1940s Johnson said when pressure from the Humane Society halted the practice In Mexico a couple of years back however a new dog track decided to have monkeys for one racing Johnson said Action Line Ever since I was a little kid people have told me stand under a tree during a lightning storm and stand out in the middle of an open OK my question is: What do I do? If out in a field and a lightning storm starts up I have to do something Also: is there any way to tell when about to be hit by lightning? George Pathanakis Fort Lauderdale Last question first: According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) yes if you are caught out in an open area during a storm and you feel your hair stand on end you may be about to be struck by lightning Drop to a knee-crouch and bend forward putting your hands on your knees NOAA advises Do not lie on the ground Your shoes especially if they are rubber-soled would provide insulation for your body if lightning strikes nearby but if you Were lying on the ground the charge could come up through the earth $nd kill you The agency also advises that you get into a home a large building or an all-metal car (not a convertible) Avoid trees and poles and stand on places such as hilltops where you would project above the surrounding landscape Also avoid open water metal machinery small metal vehicles such as motorcycles wire fences clotheslines' metal pipe rails golf clubs and groups of people People struck by lightning may be burned but they store up charges of electricity ir- so rescuers can start work immediately Victims often can be revived by immediate first aid treatment I was shot by hitchhiker hospitalized victim says IFodloEfsi!
