PARACHUTE FAILED
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) MELBOURNE, April 16. A 21-yeanold Victorian nursing sister was killed late yesterday when her parachute failed to open in a sky-diving jump from a Cessna plane near Elmore, 100 miles north of Melbourne. The muse, Miss Jennifer Ann Douglas, of Bendigo, was making her first jump. A static line attached to the plane pulled the parachute out of its container as She jumped, but it failed to open. She plummeted 2500 ft to the ground without opening her emergency parachute.
