I I PAGE EIGHT f ME JOURNAL, PIATTSMOUTH. FItBRASlSA 7iVPTW. MAP.Cfi 21, iq4R New Yorkers Wait In Line to See Flower Show NEW YORK fUR) Several hundred New Yorkers stood in line on a rainy street to catch a glimpse of spring:. It was all there but the Robins when the doors opened at the 30th annual international flower show yesterday. Umbrellas dripped un heeded on the electrical lighted daffodils, and the damp wool pmell of a rainy city was lost in the heavy blend of lilac ' and hyacinth, sweep pea and rose. Grand Central Palace, which served a spell as the army's major New York City induction center, was host to the New York horti cultural society's second post-war comeback. On the main floor of the ex hibition hall, 17 jrarden landscapes were framed with dofrwood and flowering apple trees, white birch and hemlock. Beneath them tulips, azaleas, and daffodils bloomed be side lawns boardered with pansies and forget-me-nots. Hundreds of rare orchids lined an upper balcony, but the keynote f the show was springs home garden variety. One of the gardens presented an impressive array of southern spring bloom. A series of pools lined with flagstones were flank ed with pink and white azaleas, yellow daffodils, pink, white and yellow tulips and budding red camellias. Flowering crabapple and pink-edge magnolia edged the brick-walled garden. Across the aisle a formal gar den in green and white offered a cool diversion. White azaleas and dogwood lined the lawn set with a circular pool surrounded by curved beds of majestic tulips. A New England dooryard bloomed with laurel and dogwood and tall lilacs over forget-me-nots, primulas and apTicot wallflowers. Against the back wall, Roses, Inc., spread more than 10,000 flowers beside a rose garden wed ding tableau. The bright flowers that bloom ed in most of the show's exhibits were hot-house grown. But on an inconspicuous table on the third floor stood vase after vase of spring bloom cut last week from ! an outdoor garden in Virginia. . .

' Says Feathers and Fur for Coolness f P-80 Refueling Tests Made on Flights ! BURBANK, Cal. U.fi) Those' pilots whft bozzd P-80 Shooting Stars across country in four hours and a few minutes weren't just flying for the fun of frightening chickens, the Army reports. While one P-80, piloted by. Pol. William H. Councill, made 4 the: trip nonstop, two others wre test' ing a new system of rapid refuel ing of jet planes . ! And they proved, to the sat is- i faction of the Army Air Force at least, that jet-fighter squadrons could be kept in the air almost constantly during danger periods to protect vital spots. Capt. John S. BabeUs P-80 landed at Topeka, Kan., and was completely refueled, inspected and serviced 1 minute and 54 seconds later. Capt. Martin L. Smith's plane was refueled in 2 minutes 59. second". A picked crew of 17 servicemen- LOS ANGELES CU.R) Dr. Ray mond B. Cowles asserts that the zoology textbooks have it all wrang fur and feathers didn't keep animals and birds alive be cause they kept them warm. They kept them cool. ; The University'of California at Los Angeles biology professor said that one of the obscure reasons why stm species of birds and ani mals survived is because the fur and feathers of their prehistoric ancestors protected them from the rays of the sun. Most biologists today, he said, believe 'tha, mutations such as fur and feathers didn't develop to pro tect an animal from some specific external influence, but just hap pened" at the right or wrong times Dr. Cowles argues that a muta tion which developed fur and feathers on certain speciess pre vented the hot glare of the tun from reaching an animal's skin when the world was a lot hotter than it is now. It didnl keep the cold out or at least that's not why they sur vived, Cowles claims. technicians with four Army fuel trucks and eight high-pressure fillers were drawn up in a line at the end of the runway. With the jet engines idling at 4,000 revolutions per minute, 600 gallons of kerosene were pumped into each ship while inspectors checked tires, oxygen equipment, brakes, hydraulic lines, electrical systems and engine components and the pilots gulped sandwiches and coffee in the cockpits. -.'.-' ) 1 lo to - 3 . 3UR LOANS are NOT LIMITED to those individ uals who have monthly incomes.
