Former Dcltan Has Wild Hide When Mrs. Harold Jamison, the former Alta Sampson of Delta now residing in Salt Lake City, decided to take an innocent ride in a hot-air hot-air balloon Saturday little did she know that it would culminate in a w.ld harrowing experience. Mrs. Jamison, mother of two children, Saundra, 25 and Kenny, 12, usually leads a quiet life. But her usual routine and composure were shattered when the balloon, moored to a panel truck, by a fifty loot rope, reached the end of its rope in its skyward climb, lifted the truck momentarily and broke the rope. When the rope broke, Mrs. Jamison Jam-ison was quoted in the Deseret News as saying, "My first impression impres-sion was to jump, but I didn't". As the balloon soared upward the men on the ground motioned for her to turn off the hot air heat-1 ing mechanism. The balloon rose over a thousand . feet before Mrs. Jamison found the control for the burner and turned it down. "There were two knobs, I turned one and nothing happened. So I tried the Other and it was the bur-'. net", she related. "When I turned it the balloon rose higher. So I lurned the other way and the bal- loon started down' The descent was rapid, according to witnesses but Mrs. Jamison was too frightened to notice. The balloon came down on the roof of a house and when the bas-j ket hit the roof it tipped and Mrs.! Jamison just rolled out onto thei roof. Her only injury was an ab-' rasion on the cheek and some' bruises. Mrs. Jamison is a daughter of Mrs. Nell Watson.
