Balloon sails near KU on transcontinental flight
From the Kansan's Wire Services
The D'Avinci Transamerica balloon crew, attempting a record coast-to-coast flight, floated above northeast Kansas during its trip, gradually drifted east-northeast.
Steve Shure, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topokau, Mongolia, visited by about 8:15 a.m. and was sighted by a fisherman at Lake Perry, just east of
Bob Rice, the Weather Service Corp. of Bedford, Mass., said the big balloon was seen over Gaff, Kan., about 48 miles south of Dahlonegger and noon and was heading toward Nebraska.
The four balloonists crossed into Iowa last night, and approached a balloon flight endurance record.
SAILING OVER THE Missouri River 20 miles south of Omaha, the sheer light from the valley border near Burlington, according to a recorded announcement from the flight
The message said the craft could reach the Iowa-Illinois border about dawn Monday.
The Guinness Book of World Records lists the endurance record for balloons as 137 hours, 6 minutes, set by the Double Eagle II in its Atlantic crossing last year.
Hyde said the crew was taking the balloon down to 4,250 feet in hopes of catching an airplane. He got closer getting closer to being on course. He had they flown at between 8,000 and 9,000 miles.
"We're over nice Nebraska far up in the west," said Village, Kite, said in a radio interview before crossing into Iowa. "Just about six miles to the northeast we saw Pawnee and Lincoln."
"WE HAVE PASSED the 100-hour mark and if we can stick it out till tomorrow morning, we will have broken the endurance record for balloon flight."
Aboard the 106-foot-high balloon with Hydre in the 10-foot-square, two-level gondola are Vera Simons, McKean, Va. and Linda O'Connor, both of NBC-TV canned Randy Birch.
The four lifted off Wednesday from Tillamook, On. Friday, they set a long-distance flight record for balloonists in the continental United States.

From page one
the work needed to build a bike trail already has been done, Hughes said.
The ground has been graded. Only lime surfacing is still required, Hughes said. She said the resurfacing probably would cost about $2,000 a mile, or $2,000.
Federal funds are available to help with the project, but the project first needs local governmental support, she said.
THE LOCAL SUPPORT has not been easy to obtain. In May 1978 the commissioners for
leavenworth County, where most of the abandonment exists, selected the trail plan.
They listed concerns about vandalism and the long-term maintenance of the trail as reasons for the rejection.
Douglas County commissioners have given their support for the trail proposal, but only 100 feet of the abandonment is in Douglas County.
So the committee has turned to the state legislature. If the state supported the bikeway bill, the trail committee could then seek help to help build the 1-mile bikeway

"Don't believe her, she just doesn't want to march." another student teased.

AT THE URGING of her friends, Estes marched during the halftime performance. She didn't return to the bleachers with the rest of the band.
Senior Mark Nickels reported to Cox, "Julie's sick. Linda took her under the stadium after the show. I'm not sure where she went."
JULIE WAS ONE of several hundred people who suffered from the heat at the stadium. He had been treated for heat-related illnesses, H.H. Belo, director of the stadium's emergency crew.
Cox went to look for his students while she supervised the packing away of instruments and members stripped to the shorts and T-shirts they had worn under the heavy

Eudora woman killed in Ontario
KENORA, Ontario (UP1) - A pickup truck straddling a railway track in an isolated area smashed head-on into a west-bound freight train Thursday killing a Kansas man.
A police spokesman said the four-wheel drive truck was driven onto the tracks about 50 miles east of Kenora Thursday night and headed eastbound. It was straddling the Canadian Pacific Railway freight train crashed the vehicle, which then burst into flames.
Killed were the driver - 38-year old Bert F, Berger of North Mount Morris, III, and 22-year old Sophia Romette Pickens of Eudora.
"We had aad out one third the problems we could have had. But the kid was more frightened. The kids had light clothes under their uniforms, had a meal before they marched; and we gave him a bowl."
bands, he said, but only four were admitted to Walkins Memorial Hospital. Those four students were brought to the hospital because of illness. He said, and were released by 9 p.m.
After making sure that Estes was in no danger, Cox brought her back to the band's seats, where friends gathered around her to offer comfort and cool drinks.
Assured that their friend was better, the band helped them and the helmets and music and nearly padded to their bus. They weren't able to stay for the fourth quarter because of the long ride.
"Aw, I want to stay and waten the game," a student said as he walked away, giving one last glance to the field and band-filled stadium.
