Ann Burge Every human is born w ith an innate desire for adventuie and an element of danger and risk -eem-, to I)' - an essential need of the oie- sent day man and woman. The story of Mrs. Anna Dietrich of Rock y Point , know n to her neighbois and friends as \Mis . U. \ personifies this desire to a large degree. Mrs. D. is an urlv ii\ woman so consistently pleasant and likable that it was an >\ti eine pleasure to meet and interview her for this, her story. M.rs. D' s interest in flying: planes , which dates back many years , was really the first p hase of what was to come. She has /one from flying her own plane to be- coming a parachute ju mping en- thusiast. Her interest in both fields grew by her spending- her spare time viewing all types of public demonstrations concerning: aviation. However , helping her husband George send their two children , Ge orge and Betty, through college temporarily post- poned her desire to carry her in- terest in flying any further than that of being a spectator. Three years ago , Mrs. D. started putting her hobby into serious practice when she began receiving flying instructions from Ed Kalo- ski at the Mastic Airport in Mas- tic. To date , she has comp leted all the necessary tests , excep t to take the actual flying test itself , to re- ceive her license. Pier only hold- back is time. Working five days a week at the Peerless Photo. Pro- ducts as a laboratory technician for the past 11 years has left her too little time to pursue this hob - by, which in some peop le ' s opin- ion is a full time job in itself. Mrs. D. owns her own air coupe plane which lias taken her m i iy a mile , on many an advenhi.e. Take for instance the Jme sue \ ... » on a ci oss-country IUH from the Mastic Air Strip to 3M m Pen i y l- vania. On her return from Penn- sy lvania , as she wis flying o\ei Fire Island , the carbuietor iced up. forcing her to land on Fne Island This was followed by a call foi as- sistance to Ed Kaloski. Mrs. D' s actual interest in pirn - chute jumping came when she fh<t saw the peiformance put on by the members of the Parachute Club of Amer ica, of which Mi* . D. is now an active member. Her interest and continuous questions , regaid- ing- the club , propted one jumper to challenge her to make a try at it. So , this was the incentive that caused Mrs . D. to start on the road of heavy training, the sacrificing of long hours and risks of .serious injuiy which offered little prospect of fortune or fame. Knowing all this effort would never pay off in a national championshi p, since hardly anybody knows of one ' s ac- complishments except relatives and friends and the people in the game , she embarked on the long road following the incentive and the challenges posed. It was 4:15 p. m. on a Sunday afternoon when all the combina- tions of strength , durability, skill and daring was put to the test. Be- fore any jump can be made there is a necessary check-out procedure for safety measures in accordance with the rules of the Parachute Club of America. These check-outs are exemplified to the smallest de- gree by the jump-master Jack Mc Donald. The regalia of a jumper includes a helmet, boots , goggles , coveialls and of course there is the chute , which wei g hs approximately 50 pounds by itself. Since Mrs. D. weighs only 110 pounds it took two people to help her on with the chute. One did the actual harness- ing- and the other held her up to prevent her from collapsing under the strain. Entrance into the plane was accomplished on all fours , Mrs. D. says. Her fiist jump took place ftom a plane piloted by Ed Kaloski. Her only fear as she sat at the - >dge of the p lane waiting for the signal , in her words was , \I was a little queasy that the pressure might be a little too much and I might pass out. \ Yet fear is something that even the masters of the spoit ha\ e to oveicome every time they jump. The signal was given at 2 , 600 feet and out she went. There are two types of parachutes, the automatic- type which is attached to a static coid , which the liver , befoie jump- ing, fastens to a cable inside the p lane and his weight pulling against the coi d releases the cano- py. The other type is entiiely de- pendent upon the jumper, since it is a free fall jump which de pends upon the jumper to pull the ring- that will release the canopy. There is much technique to be mastered in both forms , Mi » . I) siys Accotding to tlie uiles of the Paiachute ( lub ol Ameuca , a to- tal ot 4 ' i\e jump» have to be made fri m the »tatie line beloie a fi ee lall jump can be attemp ted. Mrs. D' s first jump , accoidingl y was fiom the static line. For those of lis wh o aie unaware , a poison will fall 181 feet per second in tiee tall before the chute opens . W hen a j imp is made fiom the 1 - static- line it is necessai y to make a simulated pull of the nng in pia '-tice fot that fiee fall four jump» latei. In Mrs . D' » case , how- evei . the excitement was pist a little too much and she forgot to pull the nng until she had fallen quite fai . As Mrs . I), said , \I would have onlv made a hole in the ground if this had been a free fall lump . \ There is a joke among the peo- ple in the game which s iys that if the ring is dropped dining the jump, you treat to a case of beer. Our Mrs. D., however , held onto the cord all the way down . She drifted one and one-half miles from the point of the jump. Her landing, where else , but in the duck farm of Paul t hornoma on Raines Road. Her fall was cush- ioned by a pine tree , a raementJ of which she has displayed on her fireplace consisting of a cluste r of pine cones. She walked toward s Mr. Chornoma ' s house to call the airport to be picked up and as the door opened she was meeted with the question , \ where did you come from?\ Don 't you think you would have been just as amazed and as- tonished ? Nevertheless a success- ful jump was accomp lished. About Mis . D' s futvie plans: Well first of ail , she plans on tak- ing the test to receive her oiler ' s license , and secondly, she is look- ing foi ward with great anxietv to her first free fall juevp . By the wav. Mrs . D. is 52. Outsiders , like my=elf , mig h f as- sume that people wh > devote Vni- selves to su^h sports might be a little offbeat IMIC I tin t , anyway it doesn 't take much to be a stando it when the field is so linked. One ¦ you get inside these little-known athletic world- , though , you l ea- lize that not many individuals would be capable of e onciueung them. There is always much mo >e involved , in terms of both physical »Li.. , n and technique than appeals on the -in fac e. Foi c oinage me! a great amount of hard uoik we feel that \ Mis . D. deseives a standing ovation, and well wi-hes of the leadei s in hei future endeavoi» .

Calandrillo of Huntington, once a highly placed political figure with a bright future ahead of him , sur- rendered at the County Jail here in Riverhead Monday night to be- gin his 90-day jail sentence. Calandrillo , 33 , of 14 Vale Drive , Huntington , pleaded guilty Fri da y in Suffolk County Court to perjury second-degree to satis- fy a 35-count felony indictment charging him with changing seven police examination while he was secretary to the Suffolk Service Commission in 1 957. He was given a thiee-month jail term , but the start of the sentence was put off until Mon- day to give him time to settle his personal affairs. County Sheriff Charles R. Dominy said Calandrillo will be given \ normal treatment , \ and after indoctrination at the jail will probabl y be transfeired to the County Honor Farm at Yap- hank as other teim prisoners are. Friday in Suffolk Count y Court , before visiting Count y Judge Ellsworth N. Lawrence of upstate Franklin County, Calandri'lo pleaded guilty to perjury second- degree , a misdemeanor. The plea satisfied a 35-count felony indictment that charged he changed seven police examinations while he was executive secretary to the Suffolk Civil Service Com- mission four years ago. He was sentenced to the three- month term a few minutes later by Judge Lawrence. Calandrillo , his attorney Leonard Wexler, and most court room observers w e r e surprised he received a jail term. Most had believed he would re- ceive a suspended sentence. District Attorney John P. Co- halan , Jr., in recommending ac- ceptance of the p lea , said Calan- drillo had presented him with a written resignation from his pre- sent $10 , 000 a year position as * Suffolk jury commissioner , and had promised not to sue for any back pay for his period of v self- imposed suspension , since Decem- ber when the indictment was re- turned. Mr. Cohalan said the total costs of the trial might have been as much as $20 , 000. He said the plea w 7 as justified in the light of the practice employed by Supreme Court Justice Arthur Markewich in sentencing those charged with \Scandals \ indictments. Judge Markewich accepted a number of misdemeanor pleas to satisf y fel- ony indictments , on the theory he was driving the guilty officials from public office. \We have here the spectacle of a well educated young man of good famil y, personable , poised and popular , who listened unwise- ly to the blandishments of the siren song of an older man , in the hope presumabl y of political pre- ferment , \ the distr.ct attorney sta- ted . He did not identify the man. \Calandrillo stands a, the bar of justice because he lacked the intestinal fortitude to resist the pressures applied on him. He be trayed his trust and he was false to his oath of office , \ Mr. Coha- lan continued. \For that we seek to drive him forever from public life , a life for which he was so well fitted by education , training and personal endowments. \ he said. The prosecutor said that in fairness to Calandrillo \ whatevei the motivation that prompted his dereliction of dut y, no accusation has been made at an> time that he asked for or acceped one cent of money for his actions. \ Final y, Mr. Cohalan added , that he and Calandrillo had been close friends. \It is with a distinct feel- ing of sorrow that I stand befoie this couit in my otli nil capac-ny to participate in this painful and pathetic scene , \ he concluded. Before imposing the sentence , Jud ge Lawience said , \You should be sentenced to jail because you broke a trust with the public. The public had a right to expect you tc live up to the trust of high office and you failed. \ Calandrillo , a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, served as secretary to the Civil Service Commission in 1953 and 1954 and 1956 and 1957 , with time out foi Army service in 1955. He became commissioner of lurors in 1958. Deputy Commissioner ot Jurors Edward V. Ecker of Montauk , who has been supervising the op- erations of the jui y commission since December , is expected to b^ named commissioner of jurors by the County Board of Judges to- morrow morning. The Civil Service probe was sparked by the State Ci\ d Service Commission last Sunvm >r which charged a total of 33 police ex- aminations had be^n changed fro m 1953 to 1957. Three county police- men were also indicted , but were later cleared of perjury charges by Judge Lawrence. NJ Man Is Uninjured Whe n Truck Overturns A 21-year-old Fairview , N.
