ComeIIio Show Thrills Crowd

More than 1855 varieties Of
camellias were shown IN the
5th under-glass show Of the
Cameilia Society Of the Poto-
mac Valley recently In Christ
Church Parish Hall in George
town. Attendance, in spite Of
the Armory show, was more
than 1900. This is considered
excellent for Ave hours.
More than 900 blooms were
shown "in cultivar."
There were 20 exhibitors.
What the show lacked III
numbers OF entries was moro
than offset by the quality Of
the blooms.
Some camellia growers had
difficulty supplying the show
because Of the long siege OF
cold weather. These were mostly
porch culturists rather than
greenhouse men.
Considerable doubt exists In
the minds Of many camellia
men as to whether the out
doors blooms will be in suf-
ficient quantity for q later
show. Many Of the plants have
been adversely affected by cold,
windy weather.
Hall Full Of Light
The Christ Church hall was
q fine site for the show because
OF the large. light room and
the lightly painted walls. Sun
poured In through the high
glass windows and brought out
the rich colorines Of the blooms.
There were all gradations of
color except, Of course, for blue
and yellow. These do not grace
the camellia spectrum so far.
But the many shades Of red
through purest white, and the
intriguing "candy-stick" mix.
lures Of red and white, were
remarkable.
Some Of the blooms were as
big as the largest rose. These
were doubles and frilly va
rieties.
On one table were blooms in

7DieinCrash
OLAF Tanker

ANDOVER, N. H., July %
(AP). An Air Force plane
burned in the air and crashed
with an explosion early today,
killing all its seven crewmen.
The plane was a KC-97 pro-
peller : driven tanker on a
training mission of the 509th
Air Refueling Squadron, Pease
Air Force Base, Portsmouth.
N. H.
Fire Chief Leland Miller, one
of the first on the scene, said
no part of the plane was rec
ognizable. 1t exploded on i'm
pact and debris was scattered
for quarter of a mile.
Bodies Of the seven crewmen
were flung varying distances
from the burning wreckage.
One crewman was wearing an
open parachute. Like the
others, his body was burned be-
yond recognition.
The crewmen of a companion
plane flying a mile to the rear
and a State trooper on the
ground said they saw the rlane
plummet in flames through an
overcast.
Mrs. Harold Keyser, on
whose farm the plane crashed,
said she and her husband were
awakened by the screaming
whistle" Of the burning plane
as it descended rapidly.
When it hit the ground its
cargo of about 5000 gallons of
gasoline exploded.
The plane came down near a
sawmill on the Keyser farm
about a mile and a half south
of the village of Andover in
South-Central New Hampshire.
1t dug a shallow hole about rs
feet across.
