For most of the leading parts there were different cast qiembers each night, and the cotrsensus of the audience seemed to be that they performed delightfully.

Model T Airplane Gaining Popularity A young Utah airplane manufacturer may have reached a goal that has eluded plane makers since the Wright Brothers flew at the turn of the Century. John Chotia, President of Weedhopper of Utah, Inc., is currently mass producing an ultra-ligh- t airplane which may very well turn out to be the Model T Ford of the airplane industry. In only eighteen months, Weedhopper sales have passed the one million dollar mark and are soaring into the wild blue yonder. Nearly 500 of the tiny craft are buzzing around the skies of such far away places as Australia, Pakistan and japan, to say nothing of the U.S.A. Why this great popularity? Well, if you could buy a kit for under $2,700, assemble it in your garage, tow it on a small trailer behind your car and fly it safely out of an open field Weedhopper pilots wax poetical about the thrills of flying the tiny craft. The sensation must be somewhat akin to the early flights of the Wright Brothers. . . sailing effortlessly over fields and farms. . .close enough to see the look of astonishment and envy on the faces of earth-bounmortals. When people ask John' Chotia if he would like to be, known as the Henry Ford d of-th- airplane industry, hey replies: "That's exactly what fc would like. My goal is to put' an airplane in every garage, or. possibly two. . .they're' small". Files For State Auditor Ralph J. Olmo. a Bountiful.

Local News choosing the cases may be lengthy because medical records will have to be found after more than two decades since the testing. A Carter administration task force recommended this week that cancer victims be compensated in a selective program and admitted that the government testing probably is to blame for some of the illnesses. The task force said, however, that the number of victims due to radioactive fallout is much smaller than the 965 named in the court cases and warned that allowing the cases to be settled in court would be too costly. The report also said that blanket settlement would open the door for similar suits agaidst the government. Haralson and the other attorneys representing the plaintiffs have been unanimous in their criticism of the report. dome, in ana. z ouz clotfizs. ! fixing fj.uni.ox ax acA S cozcLuzoui. ufi to H3lou 2$ & off SuJE.ats.XA All-Sta- All-Sta- by Rinda Reese aA to 50 ff |
