On the highest point of Sugar Loaf there is only about 10 feet of running distance and with the lack of traction, it was very difficult to get a good run. About 4 p.m. the glider was airborn. Because of the short running distance, the glider fell about 35 feet. But, with a remarkable the recovery glider soared and climbed back up the 35 feet it lost. Glen made one 360 degree turn, three figure eights, and made a few dives and climbs to give all the spectators a better look. With a success- ful flight and landing, Glen was greatly impressed with his flight and is planning other runs in the future. He feels he will be able to break the Cross County Record. This past week Glen R. Bennett, a former resident of Holden and Ray Rosvall of and Manager of Review Apparel, made their journey to the south point of Loaf at the old aban- doned Power Plant to attempt a feat that has never been at- tempted before; to handglide off the north point of the old From the Power volcano.
