THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FOUR Thursday, February 10, 1949 U. S. Built Planes Dominate World Airplane Traffic NEW YORK (U.R) Foreign air plane manufacturers are not in the running when it comes to building commercial airlines. More than 90 per cent of the world's air passengers fly on American-built airplanes, ac cording to the Aviation Re search Institute. A large part of the reason, aviation experts say, is the ty pically American way of doing FELDHOUSEN'S VALENTINE WEEK SPECIALS 10 Vitamins 30 day DWARFIES V 9 Vitamins 12 Minerals g VITA-PELS Vitamins 25's ONE-A-DAY Multiple Vitamins UNICAP, 100 for 8 g INFRA-RED LAMPS . $1.19 C5 $1.47 Value With Refill ft BB BALL POINT . cnnDiE5 g VALENTINE'S DAY Wc have a complete assortment Df beau tiful red satin and foil-dncnrated hearts, priced D5c to S5.B5. .'V ft ft VmMdhctvvi V " on Tmmma gift 3g)H LVS- When .he occasion Jg mm demands the FINEST fgggL ,V select one of oar many 5 -5 m&W lovely DENOMA Diamonds fWM "The Perfect 8U MJ fPVt4 for all occasion, A?iM4 ffk mmm MM business adopted by our air plane manufacturers. It sounds simple. U. S. manufacturers j consult and listen to their cus- 1 tomers. Foreign manufacturers j do not. The American aviation in-' dustry works roughly this way: j (1) An airline or a group of ! airlines sends to manufacturers a list of specifications for an advance in the art of airplane manufacture. (2) Airplane man ufacturers bid with proposals of their own. (3) Before final blueprints are made, extended discussions of design policy--range, speed, payload, take place.

Improvements Made Emerging from more than four years of partenership with the Boeing Airplane Co., Pan American cited the following improvement and changes which resulted from its collab oration: (1) New engines capa ble of developing 14,000 horse power as against the first pro posal of 8,800 or an increase in speed from 280 to 340 mph. (2) An increase of 2,000 gallons of gasoline in fuel capacity for additional range. (3 A device for supercharging the engines, boosting the plan's speed 10 to 20 per cent and cutting down on cabin noise. (4) A pilot-dictated cockpit layout greatly simplifying the operation of the gigantic airplane. There were many other de tailed technical changes im proving the safety of operation and the efficiency of the air craft, most of them dictated by the experience of the air lines buying the plane. Abroad, the air lines are not permitted to play an effective part in the manufacture of air liners. In one famous case, a foreign-built airplane has been rejected by the air lines after millions of dollars had gone into its development. Foreign air lines now have extensive commitments in the U. S. for airplanes and for the next five years, at least, it is believed, American planes will continue to carry the bulk of the travel ing public. 7 runerai or Lovav itozeu Meld Monday The First Christian church was filled to its capacity Monday af ternoon by the relatives and many friends to pay their last tributes to the memory of Lovay George Rozell, 16, whose heroic struggle with a baffling blood disease was closed by his death Friday nig'jt. There were a lanre number of the members of the Bov Scouts oi wnicn organization he had been a member, in attendance at the services, to bid farewell to their comrade and associate. The message of the day was brought by Rev. E. C. Williams pastor of the First Methodist church with its comforting thought from the scriptures. During the services three of the old hymns were given by Mrs. Jess Kodge and Mrs. Richard Havel, "Sometime We'll Under stand", "No Night There" and "Beyond the Sunset". Lester I Thimgan was the accompanist I The internment was at the Horning cemetery south of the city with a large cortage of the relatives and friends being pres ent at the internment. The casket bearers were mem- brs of the Boy Scouts and com prised Jerry Sharpnack, James Doody, Gordon Greene, David Friest, Dick Huebner, Cyril Ko cian. The Caldwell funeral home of this city had charge of the funeral arrangements and ser vice.

Here's Next Best at Low Cost Many of the ach-antages of a small preenhouse, at a fraction of its cost, may be enjoyed by the amateur gardener who equips his cold frame with an electric heat ing cable. Cables and thermostats are row obtainable at less than the cost to a townsman of suitable ma nure, were he able to find it. Current used for heating depends upon the insulation of the frame, and how early in the spring heat is turned on, but it seldom adds an important amount to the light bill- Advantages are many. There is a much more even heat, which is beneficial to all plants and vital to those that chill easily. It gives a longer growing period, since the heat does not become exhausted, as does heat from marure, which sometimes fails before the outside temperature is safe. A frame is constructed in the usual pattern as used for both hot-beds and cold frames, but there is no need to prepare a deep pit such as is neressary when ma nure is used to supply heat. The frame is sun!; in the ground abDut six inches.

MOVING TO NEBRASKA CITY Charles Tasler and son, Don ald, were in the city Tuesday for a few hours attending to some matters of business and while here Donald was a caller at the Journal to renew their subscrip tion for the ensuing year. The many friends here will be interested in learning that the Tasler family is moving from their former farm on RFD No 1, Council Bluffs, to their new lo cation on RFD No. 1 out of Ne braska City, they having dis posed of the farm near Council Bluffs. They report their older son, Charles, Jr., as being in Texas where he has been for the past several months looking after his trucking work. Albert Todd Back from Hospital Stay Albert Todd, well known young farmer from northwest of Plattsmouth, is now back home from a stay at the St. Joseph hospital at Omaha hav ing improved to such an extent that he was able to come home on January 1st. He is getting along very well and was able to be down in the business sec tion of the city on Tuesday. within it to an equal depth, and the cable is arranged on the bottom in loops, so that heat will be evenly distributed. The supply wire and cable are both connected to a ther mostat, which can be set at the desired minimum temperature, so that as soon as the thermometer falls to that point heat is turned on. When temperature rises a few degrees above the minimum, heat is shut ofT, and the variation be tween maximum and minimum temperatures is much less than with the old fashioned hot-bed. The heating cable is usually cov ered with four to six inches of soil. It is a good idea to place a sheet of fine meshed poultry wire an inch abc e the cable, with soil between. Another method is to grow plants in flats, which are placed on a grat ing just above the heating cable, which is not buried in soil, and thus is always open to inspection. To improve insulation and reduce cur rent consumption, the frame should be banked with cinders, which are covered with soil, to within a few inches of the top. Livestock Values on Down Grade; Supply Heavy Livestock values continued on the downgrade last week and again Monday at Omaha, Slaughter steers, yearlings and neiierb were ai.uu-o.uu lower last week, some heifers off more, and another $50c-$1.00 lower Monday.
