spent years in China looking for

Qn their, way to London the
giant pandas ate bread made
from rolled oats arid -flour ,and
they drank milk.
It is untrue that unless a giant

Flying \saucers hold no terror
for 51-year-old Roy P. Friddell.
He manufactures them.
Friddell, father of 10, has no
intention of taking off for some
planet in outer space in one of
his "saucers" —it is the only
item ever offered parents for
the muscular development of
their pre-walking infants, and
is manufactured for the pleas-
ure of the senell fry set.
Eleven years ago Friddell, a
former vaudeville magician-
comedian, was ' watching his
new ion, Rey David; do push-
ups aerrsthe . living room floor.
The idea came to him that he
could somehow harness the
"baby power" that was being
expended and bring it Under
control.''
With a, far away look in his
brown eyes, Friddell went to his
work shop and constructed an.
"airialane wing" with casters.
The yeungster took to, the wing
with such enthusiasm that it
lasted all of three days. . *
Next Fiiddell faehiened a
wing with a cockpit 'and lined
the front of it with a soft cus-
hion on which the baby could'
be placed with its feet laarely
touching the floor. He added an
adjustable to' any size* baby.
"It was a wonderful ma-
chine," Friddell recalli "but
unsafe. Those casters In the
landing gear weren't the An-
swer."
After Roy David pegged the
"saucer" stage, Friddell set the
rnackiele aside, but it Was never
very fat from his thoughts. By
the time his tenth ehild, Roland,
cattle along, he got the idea that
ball-beatings might be the so-
Italian.
Today 'he has a "landitegear"
fool-proof and safe, It le neXt to
'impossible for a baby to- fall out
of the "talker." If. the "saucer°
does Start tipping, the directions

that they toll toward the Weight
