There really must be some truth
to the story of the flying saucers
for j. Forest Walker, of Gathers

flying through the air around 900
o'clock in the morning one day last
week, He said he wouldn't even
have told the story had not his
brother, Harry Walker, and the
wife of the dairyman also seen
them. What appeared to be about
% aluminium disks or saucers were
flying across the sky, as Mr.. Walk
er described it, in a v formation
and were visible for about three
minutes before suddenly disappear
ing. Mr.. Walker sticks to his story
despite the rubbing of his friends
who suggest he may have seen a
flock of Japanese Beetles moving
to greener fields.
