Ballard and Son Donald-as their printed literature invariably refers to them-claim to be the "Accredited Messengers" of a group of spirits whom they call the "Ascended Masters."

After five hours, the crowd, somewhat thinned by the inescapable monotony of the spectacle provided by small boys coasting down a hill, saw the final heat. Robert Ballard, 12, of White Plains, N.
