Sidelights By Doris Lee I have finally decided what I can do for my country. I can go up in a balloon for forty hours to be out the Russians like that 56-year-old woman in Texas did. She bettered the mark of some 34 hours claimed by a Russian woman balloonist. She said she did it because she got sick of the Russians holding all the records. You have to admire her for her honesty though. She hated every minute of it. Most record-breakers, when being interviewed, are inclined to over-simplify the feat. "I feel fine. Nothing to it," they'll say. Or, "Man! That was some ride!" Not this gal. After spending forty hours at 20,000 feet in the rain and thirty-degree temperatures, she wasn't about to play coy. "I'm nearly dead," she muttered upon landing, "That miserable balloon —" Asked how she felt later, she grumbled, "My feet are still frozen." I think her trip lacked good planning. All she wore was a thin Air Force flying suit, tennis sneakers and a hairstret. Hairpets don't make good windbreakers. She carried a toothbrush and two pencils, but she said there won't time to brush or take notes because she was busy with other things. She advises anyone against taking up ballooning because "It's a ghastly sport." But apparently she's not giving it up. She says she wants to try a world altitude record. Come to think of it, that's what I'd like to try for, the altitude record. I could relieve her of the obligation since she had such a miserable time of it for the time Theta Upsilons Meet Dec. 11 Theta Upsilon Alumnae of Orange County will meet Dec. 11 at 7:45 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Carl O. Larson, 3120 Larkstone Dr., Orange. Co-hostess will be Mrs. Dion Gardner of Orange. Because of the success of a white elephant and jewelry auction last December, another auction of the same type will be held. The money raised is for the benefit of Theta Upsilon's national philanthropy, Berea College Hospital in Kentucky. Also at this meeting, warm clothing will be collected to be sent to Navajo Assistance, a second national philanthropy. Members planning to attend the meeting may phone Mrs. Larson at KE 2-1297 after 5:00 p.m. CYO Schedules Mission Dec. 10 An Advent mission for teenagers will be conducted by the Catholic Youth Organization at St. Columban Church, 10801 Stanford Ave., Garden Grove, starting Dec. 10.

Campus Auditorium Sunday Rally Site A panel of outstanding Bible teachers, radio broadcasters and pastors from Southern California will present a prophetic study this Sunday in Biola's afternoon rally in La Mirada. Featured on the panel will be Dr. Chester Padgett, pastor of the Fountain Avenue Baptist Church of Hollywood; Dr. Myron T. Webb, director of the Bible Fellowship Hour; Dr. Lloyd T.

She advises anyone against taking up ballooning because "It's a ghastly sport." But apparently she's not giving it up. She says she wants to try a world altitude record. Come to think of it, that's what I'd like to try for, the altitude record. I could relieve her of the obligation since she had such a miserable time of it for the time record. There's nothing to it, really. You just sit in a wicker basket and drop ballast from the balloon to go up and release hydrogen from the balloon to go down. I can't see why she didn't have time in between to brush her teeth and take a few notes. I'd go up better prepared for comfort. First I'd line the basket with fur or something to keep out drafts. (Wicker has a million holes in it — like a hairnet.) And I'd fix a canopy of some kind to keep the rain off me. Since I'm not too heavy I imagine I'd be allowed to take a few extras, so I'd bring along a transistor heater. There must be such items on the market; everything else in transistor. I'd insist on the loan of a pressure suit from the government. They shouldn't object since I'm doing this for my country. I'd want the kind that has the built-in air-conditioner. The helmet wouldn't be necessary. They're not too attractive. I'd wear something more substantial than a hairnet though. A Jackie Kennedy pillbox, probably. A few cans of tuna fish and a thermos of milk would suffice for nourishment. I take a radio for background music and reports on my progress, a copy of "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" that I've been meaning to read, and a camping lamp. I understand it gets darker as you go higher. I wouldn't take a toothbrush though. Dental floss is more practical. It eliminates spitting over the side. It would be nice if, after making my record, I could land on the White House lawn. I would be right there handy to receive my medal. St. Jude Names New Chairman Doctor J. E. Scheidt of Fullerton was unanimously elected chairman of the medical staff of St. Jude Hospital at recent staff meeting. He succeeds Doctor D. F. Bauman to that post. Elected to serve on the executive board with Doctor Scheidt are Doctor L. E. Chapin, vice-chairman; Doctor J. W. Clopton, secretary and treasurer and Doctors W.H. Wickett and R.R. Martell, board members. Doctor Scheidt is a graduate of the Medical School of Ohio State University, class of '43 and served his internship at the Youngstown City Hospital in Youngstown, Ohio. Since World War II was in progress at the time, he was immediately inducted into the armed service. Upon his return he entered private practice in Van Wert, Ohio. After approximately four years of general practice he returned to his studies in 1950 when he began his residency in Ophthalmology at the University of Oklahoma. He has been in California since 1954. Doctor Scheidt has been in the staff of St. Jude Hospital since it first opened its doors in 1957. Prior to that time he was at St. Joseph Hospital. He resides at 1025 Crestview Drive, Fullerton with his wife Betty and their 16 year old daughter, Jody, a student at Sunny Hills High School. New Marine Robert L. Wheeler, 1887 Eileen Lane, Anaheim, is among the young men of Orange County who enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps during November. The group is undergoing 10 weeks of recruit training. Santa Says...

The occasion is the alumni group's monthly dinner meeting at the Greenbrier Inn, Garden Grove. Sponsored by USC's Sigma Chi chapter, Alpha Upsilon, Carolee was chosen "national sweetheart" (a romantic campus title immortalized by the fraternity's famed song, "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi") at the fraternity's national convention in Miami, Fla., last June. Since then there have been additional accolades, this time from the 17,000 students of her own campus. She was elected Homecoming Queen for the annual USC event held Nov. 11. All Orange County Sigma Chi's and their wives have been invited by Bob Engen, association president, who announced that reservations can be made by telephoning Kellogg 2-3796.

BTK PLAN NOW FOR THE UNEXPECTED The average person finds it difficult to look ahead to the time when death will bring sorrow, anxiety, and possible financial problems. But it is wise to prepare for the unexpected. A few minutes spent with one of our memorial counselors will lighten the burden which might otherwise have to be faced at time of bereavement.
