liner with 46 persons aboard made
an emergency landing at Bryce

fire warning light flashed as the
plane flew over mountains of
southern Utah.

was enroute from Los Angeles to
New York. Airline officials said

will give the Christmas gift to a
high school boy in the neighbor
hood who has had more experi
ence in caring for pets than Owens
has.
