Death ds Plune Mares
Emergency Lending

One hundred Puerto Rican
laborers escaped death as the
big DC. airliner with a crew
of three aboard, made an emer

port yesterday. The Pilot had
discovered a leak in the planes

fore reaching his destination.
The plane left San Juan on
Tuesday via Nassau and Phila
delphia. Shortly after leaving
Philadelphia the leak was dis
covered; realizing that there
would not be enough pressure
for braking the plane on land
ing at a short runway in New
Jersey, the pilot headed for
IdleWild.
While emergency crews
were standing by the plane
Landed safely, hitting the
ground with its tail wheel
first and rolled down the run
way to a stop without incident.
His passengers then left for
their destination by bus.

As the reporter drifted around
the grounds all sorts Of things
came up for conversation, a tree
toad which almost leaped into a
parasol; Rev. Armfield's little
boy swinging Tarzanlike on low
bordering trees; the dry condi-
ton Of the garden shrubs be-
cause of the late drouth; how so
few people around town seem to-
know the exact name Of all the
lush flora in the yards along the
stree is; how the delightful
punch was concocted; and who
made the date sticks and brown
les and marshmallow rolls.
And last weeks baby show
came up for a sentence or two;
the two boys who almost missed
being confirmed in the morning
because the Bishop didn't see
them and Danny Navarro who
was too sick to come to the con-
firmation and the Bishops offer
to go to his home after the gar
den party for a private confirma-
ton ceremony.
And one of the most important
subjects for the small talk which
drifted around on the garden
breezes was the dinner for the
Bishop the night before at the
rectory. His two favorite dishes
were served, chicken pilou and
Key lime pie, And according to
reports the table was covered
with blue cloth and decorated
with blue tapers and an array Of
pink flowers.
The vestrymen and their wives
who attended Saturday nights
dinner were. Mr.. and Mrs. James
s. Roberts, Mr.. and Mrs. Gerry
Trevor, MIR. and Mrs. Joe Allen,
Mr., and Mrs. G.. y. Allshouse.
Mr.. and MRS. Eric curry, MI.
and Mrs. Gilbert McKillip, Mr.
and Mrs. Sam Goldsmith, and
MIR. Milton Sawyer.
And to return to the garden
tea. a picture of the group was
taken during the afternoon with
= the bishop in. the center and the
newly confirmed members clust-
cred around. They all stood be-
hind the festively laden refresh
Il ment table, and the ladies and
gentlemen Of the church posed
variously ID the BACKGROUND
group with cups Of punch. graz
cious smiles, and marshmallow
rolls.
