 Hours, Before Rescue

North Conway, N. H., July 21.- (UP)-Miss Dorothy Sparks, 25, of Media, Pa, was recovering at a hos pital here today from the terrify- experience of being trapped for three hours beneath a water fall.

 There, standing in neck-deep water, Miss Sparks was trapped amid slippery rocks and ledges.
 Rangers and electric light com- pany employees, called by picknick- CTS, were unable to reach her even with the aid of pole. Then they hooked her bathing suit and start ed to haul her over, but the bath ing suit came off and she fell back in the pool.
 O1, another attempt with the pole, Miss Sparks managed to hang on long enough to be pulled to some rocks where her rescuers could reach her. She was hospitalized for lac erations, shock and exhaustion.
