gjK j-yg V _ ; • , = g• - : Thursday, December 7, 1983 A new type of villian has been added to the population of New York. It's the blood-sucking vampire bat brought from Panama to the New York Zoological Park by Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars. With a body but three inches long and a wing spread of about seven inches, it has a head that looks very much like an ugly bull-dog with the pointed ears of a rat. It'B the only vampire bat ever to be placed on exhibition. • • * Work starts soon on the seventy five million dollar Midtewn Hudson Tunnel to connect Manhattan with New Jersey at a point on the Jersey shore opposite the Empire State building. The tunnel is necessary be cause the Holland Tunnel, two and | a half miles south of the new site, will soon be inadequate to meet the traffic needs, although it now car ries an annual traffic of 12,000,000 cars. • * • Sign in a store selling second hand books on Seventh avenue: Sale! Name Your Own Price. If you don't buy here, You're NUTS! • * • Hail December sth and the new era of drinking it will bring! several movements are under way in New York to promote the vogue of re fined drinking and leisurely eating "in respectable surroundings with after dinner speakers invited solely because of their wit, brilliance or charm." One of the organizations is a group formed for charitable pur poses ond patterned on the order of the English Froth Blowers. • * • The chairman of the board of an immense corporation has a separate office in the tower of a building in the Grand Central zone. No desks there. Just divans, club chairs, fire place and kitchen. Executives from Wall Street and other districts drop in for a drink after "the market" has closed. Advance planß and the low-down on the financial district are swapped over the glasses. • * * "Pea-soup fog" in the New York harbor recently tied up the coast guards's revenue cutters and left them guessing the probability that rum-runners were at the peak of their activities, for Rum Row, 12 miles out, has been humming in re cent "days as the runners have sought tascash in ahead of the repeal dead linK \• • * StMid for half an hour in Grand Centrfc station 'most any time and you're Ttound to see a bit of human Interest. night it was a wo-' man with\streaming, long, bobbed red hair taking manly strides across the main concourse. She wore no stockings andNjjer rouged heels and highly toe-nails, also rouged showed vividly from the real | primitive sandals without heels. As she disappeared down the steps to the lower concourse, four people actually ran to catch up with her for another look! She took the train bound for Stamford, Conn. * * * There's a new racket in town. The so-called cut price clothing shops of the lower east side have posted "snipers" on Fifth avenue. When a shopper stops to look in a> Fifth avenue window, the sniper I usually a plainly dressed woman— stops to look too. "My, but prices are high," says she to the shopper. "Why prices are much lower on Division street. Why there are coats! just like that one at such-and-such a store at half the price." . . . it's a refinement of the old technique of grabbing a prospect and dragging him bodily into a store—a "hot" prospect, obviously interested in the merchandise on display.
