Ick Henschell of New York, and
the airliner stewardess, 29-year
old Mary Jane Hinckley of Mill
ville, N. J., who helped the new
arrival into the world.
The child was born in the
crew's compartment of the Amer
ican overseas airlines' "Flagship
Scotland," en route from New
York to Frankfurt, while most of
the 4 3 passengers dozed. He was
named Miodrag by the mother.
Capt. John J. Hennessy of
Newtown, Conn., in command of
the plane, said, "I took careful
check of our position, and we
were right over the British wea
ther ship JJJ-for-Jig. The little
boy may want to know some
time where he was born."
There was no anesthetic, and
Dr. Henschell had no instru
ments, "not even a paper clip."

November Turkey
Supply Plentiful
November is turkey time. And,
with the U. S. Department of
Agriculture reporting about 29
per cent more turkeys raised
this season than in 1948, heavy
turkey marketings in November
are expected to cause both whole
sale and retail prices to drop be
low those of a year ago, Mrs.
Annie H. Greene, home demon
stration agent for the State Col
lege Extension Siervice, said this
week.
What's more, she added, there's
a better-than-average crop of
cranberries this year to team
with turkeys as well as broilers,
fryers, and stewing hens. All are
listed by USDA as plentiful foods
for November menus.
Pork also appears on the plent
iful list, for the first time in
several years, Mrs. Greene said. ?
Last season's large corn crop ancL
heavy spring pig farrowing were
given as reasons for the increas
ing supply of pork. <
Fruits are well represented on
the November plentifuls list, with
apples, grapes, and winter pears
sharing the limelight with raisins
and dried prunes. Plentiful vege
tables include fresh sweet pota
toes, greens, cauliflower, canned
(corn, and canned pumpkin.
Eggs are slated for an increase
in supply in November, USDA
\ says, and bountiful supplies of
manufactured dairy products and
dried beans and peas offer other
sources Of protein for fall meals.
Tree nuts?pecans, walnuts, al
monds, and filberts?cooking fats,
honey, sugarcane syrup, and mo
lasses are other plentifuls on
Southern markets.
