Yes. Decatur and Wise county are
going to get a thrill—a real thrill—
one of those kinds that have made
Fay Lucile Cox famous and won for
her the only official world champion-
ship records for parachute jumping.
The big event is schednled for next
Saturday, May 13. when Fay will
soar to. the clouds on the wing of a
plane piloted by a crack aviator.
Frem a mile in the skv she will hap
from the plane, and for a few sec-
ends you will gasp as she shcots
downward through space—then as
hr parachute opens, you again take
a brcath. and for the next five or six
mninutes you watch her slowly glide
to earth, landing right in the cheer-
ng crowd that will gather on the
public square and about the business
ecction.
