James Thompson, an Emergency Medical Services technician in Harlingen, said he spied the mystery bird about 3:55 p.m. Wednesday about 4 miles east of Los Fresnos as he returned from having his ambulance in spected at South Padre Island. “I expected him to land like a model airplane. That’s what I thought he was, hut he flapped his wings enough to get above the grass,” Thompson told The Valley Morning Star. He estimated the creature’s wing span at 5 to 6 feet. “It had (a) black or grayish (col or and) rough texture. It wasn’t feathers. I'm quite sure it was a hide-type covering. I just watched him fly away, the medical techni cian said. During late 1975 and early 1976, from the Valley to Robstown and San Antonio, several people reported seeing a large bird glid ing through the air. Men at Eagle Pass and Raymondville even re ported they were attacked by bat- like creatures, hut police dis counted the reports as a mixture of alcohol and Mexican folklore. Thompson said its head had a hump on the hack and that the creature had “almost no neck at all and “something like a peli can s pouch.

Airline asks workers to accept pay cuts United Press International HOUSTON — Continental Air lines has asked employees to accept a new cost restructuring plan that includes wage and be nefit reductions and an employee stock ownership option designed to ensure the company’s survival. Continental Chairman Frank Lorenzo, concerned with an $84 million loss during the first half of this year, proceeded by annual losses of $54 million in 1982 apd $60 million in 1981, revealed a plan aimed at saving the airline $150 million a year Employees are being pre sented with a plan that makes a very sharp change in their com pensation and productivity levels, Lorenzo said in a state ment Wednesday. “Therefore, we believe those employees should share signifi cantly in the ownership of the company in order to participate with other investors in the re wards that come with a competi tive cost structure, ” Lorenzo said. 1 The proposed plan offers em ployees a stock bonus feature in volving four million shares of Con tinental common stock and the op tion to purchase eight million shares of the airline’s common stock at 85 percent of the market price at the time the plan is im plemented, said Continental spokesman Bruce Hicks. If the plan is approved. Con tinental would become the largest employee-owned airline in the world with employees owning up to 35 percent of the company’s common stock, Lorenzo said. Lorenzo said employees would receive 25 percent of the com pany’s profits. Hicks said about 5,000 of the company s 12,000 employees, mostly non-union ticket agents and clerical workers, have approved the stock option plan. Pilots and flight attendants are ex pected to vote on the measure within a w'eek. The airline s economic plan in cludes an estimated annual sav ings of $20 million from workers belonging to the International Association of Machinists, which struck the airline Aug. 13 in a dis pute over wages and work rules. “Most of the $20 million in IAM savings has been achieved as a re sult of the new IAM wage and be nefit policy implemented last month after a strike by IAM em ployees,” an airline statement said. 4 3 2 for X for 1 for 1 p.m. DRINKS 4 DRINKS 5 p.m.-6 p.m DRINKS 6 P .m. 7 p.m OPEN BAR 7*10 p.m. for more info r Beautiful Roses Red - Yellow - Pink $050 3 Per Dozen Available For Pick-up between 3 and 8 p.m. Fri.
