TRAPEZE FLIP FLOPS Roy Twitchell was that trapeze artist who sailed thru the air with such ease Wednesday noon to the astonishment of unidentified onlookers on-lookers who happened to be on the scene. Roy had no intention of putting on such an act, however high he flew, and he certainly did not plan to land with such a thud. Roy was on his way home at noon on his trusty bicycle, with his 6-year 6-year old grandson Rex Searle, on the handle bars. No telling what happened, probably the boy's foot caught in the wheel, but the bike, well braked, stopped all of a sudden. sud-den. But Roy and Rex didn't. They soared into space, then kerplunk. Rex was bruised about the face, and Roy was in worse shape. He cut his lip, broke two pair of glasses he was wearing, one light and one dark, and broke some teeth, his own, too. His cut lip wouldn't stop bleeding until five stitches were taken. The bicycle was not hurt.
