"AIR-BORN" BABY HAS JUMBO JET BIRTHOAY | Dwarfed by this giant of the air, 5 year-old Barbara waves pilot fodfather in like a pro to a safe landing. Where were you born—Boise, Idaho ... Flint, Michigan ... Mystic, Connecticut ... Los Angeles, California? No matter what place you originally called home, chances are you didn't enter the world quite like little Barbara L. Herzog did—on a Lufthansa German Airlines 707 jet—thousands of feet above Newfoundland. To celebrate "air-born" Bar bara's sth birthday, godfather Captain Alwin Meyer—pilot of her jet-age stork—returned to New York at the controls of a Lufthansa Boeing 747 jumbo jet to host some rather un usual, though appropriate & UUMMW6 0I1ZJ? CAM FLy py . li ITS FEATHfg-S/ This Fall, Plan & Plant Your Spring Celebration As the days grow short in burnished Autumn, it may take a conscious effort to think of Spring—and of Springtime flowers such as tulips, hya cinths and daffodils. After all, each season holds its pleasures and those of the Fall are to be cherished. Yet, the seasons flow by at a deceptive pace that seems to quicken with each passing Win ter. And that is why a little 1 and forethought are needed if you're planning a Spring celebration next year. For Spring-flowering Dutch bulbs must be planted in the Fall. However, the effort required is mainly of the will. The plant ing is easy. In fact, Dutch bulb planting is very probably the easiest form of gardening. And de pending on your ambitions and the size of the landscaping job to be done, only a matter of hours need be devoted to planting. Then, once the bulbs are in the ground (before the first heavy frost) and posi tioned where you want them, all that's left is a good watering and faith in the truth that tjjnp and nature will do the rest. Bulb flowers come in an overwhelming assortment of sizes, shapes and colors. And if you plan carefully, you can have a bulb garden in bloom all Spring long—a full season's celebration. Early in the Spring you can let Galanthus (Snowdrop), Eranthis (Winter aconite), Iris reticulata, Crocus, Chionodoxa and varieties of Species Tulips (Kaufmanniana, Greigii Foster iana and Eichleri) chase away the Winter bleakness with well-timed snatches of Spring time glories soon to abound. A little later, with your Spring celebration fn full swing, you can absorb the beauty of Muscari (grape hya cinths); Triumph, Darwin Hybrid, Single Early and Dou ble Early Tulips; Trumpet and Medium-cupped Daffodils; and Hyacinths. Then, as a climax to the season's festivities, you can en joy the full-flowering delight of late-flowering bulbs such as Lily-flowered, Double-Late or Peony-flowered, Parrot, Dar win and Cottage Tulips. Or short-cupped Daffodils, Scilla campanulata and Dutch Iris. *OF IZO.OOO-million *k .0* ;.r LOCUSTS OVCE COVtREP arc A of n,ooo sqwge Ma cs.: Let the Consumer Beware Almost everyone has heard of "caveat emptor"—let the buyer beware. Perhaps this is the time to coin a new phrase—"caveat consumer"—let the consumer beware. According to the American Importers Association, it is the consumer who should beware of legislation now before Con gress which, if passed, is going to mean emptier pockets and pocketbooks for all American consumers. Simply put, the legislation known as the Trade Bill proposes to set import quotas for textile items and shoes that are imported into the United States from foreign countries. What this means is that the Congress would limit the amount or number of textile items and pairs of shoes that may be imported during a given year. After the quota for the year has been filled for these items, no more may be imported until the quota is reopened for the next year. Designed to protect the American textile and shoe in dustries from competition from abroad, these import quo tas will result, according to the AIA, in the American con sumer footing the bill for this protectionism—out of his own pocket. How? By restricting competition from imports, quotas eliminate one of the most important restraints on the pricing poli cies of the American com panies that make similar pro ducts. And there is plenty of evidence for this, says the AIA. For example, in the case of sugar imports, quotas have kept prices artificially high at the expense of consumers, in stead of permitting adjustment of supply and demand through the market mechanism. For that reason, the U.S. price of sugar is now 2.3 times more than the world market price. But quotas alao do damage in festivities. So Barbara donned a pair of Lufthansa ground crew overalls and became the first little girl to guide a jumbo-jet 747 to its final parking spot after landing. Using a regulation pair of red marshalling panels, this pint sized 5 year old directed her captain's big 747, to its resting place at JFK Airport's gate 12 like a pro. After a touching and memor able reunion it was ice cream, coffee and a big birthday cake wing-ding in the 747's first class cabin.

However, anything creativel requires a little imagination. And mindful of a few basic tips, a Spring celebration of Dutch bulbs in full bloom may be as festive as you want it to be. Remember that tulips are at their striking best when plant ed in bunches of a dozen or more—one or two standing by themselves look lonely and a straight row has little impact. They will do well just about anywhere in the garden— whether in sunshine or not. For planting in garden beds and borders, Tulips of classic shapes are recommended, i.e., Triumph, Darwin, Cottage, etc. Then, for rock gardens and semi-naturalistic areas, early blooming Species Tulips are the best bet whereas the lacy petaled Parrots, Lily-flowering and Doubles plus the large Dar win Hybrids are dramatic flow ers which should be planted where they can be the focus of interest. Hyacinths also can be plant ed almost anywhere in the gar den. And they should be, for their delicate fragrance is essen tial to any Spring celebration. For example, three or four dozen Hyacinth bulbs planted next to a window or a patio entrance will fill the house with a sweet scent of Spring. A other areas. When American producers are protected from foreign competition, they are less in clined to modernize their fac tories in order to meet the competition. When industries compete for the consumer's attention by offering the best /I&S (AfiAINStJ (IMPORT J (QUOTAS^) possible product at the lowest possible cost, it is the con sumer who benefits. And when quotas are in ef fect, American producers are also less inclined to introduce style changes—because this mean* retooling. When the Government guarantees an American industry a percent age of the American market through an import quota, why should that Industry bother be ing competitive? It knows it will sell its because pretty stewardesses and Mom and Dad, Mr. & Mrs. Albert Herzog. Ringing with hilarity, the normally quiet and elegant first-class cabin was turned into a space hopping arena. Board ing their own "flying mach ines," the girls took off about the cabin, straddling their new toy gifts, called Space Hoppers. In a show of gravity defiance, they clutched the handles of their huge rubber balloons, bouncing about in the aisles. Said Captain Meyer (now Lufthansa's 747 fleet chief) when it was all over: "It's the only way to come to any birth day party—with your own 747!"

Though Daffodils need sun light for continued growth year after year, they may be planted in the shade of trees and shrubs because their growth cycle is often completed early enough in the Spring before the leaves have developed too densely on tbe deciduous plants. They, are ideal for planting in garden beds and borders, alone streams or ponds, or in clumps around the base of small trees to achieve a "naturalized" effect. Little bulbs such as Crocus, Galanthus, Chionodoxa and Muscari are hardy and take care of themselves with very little attention, year after year. For the very best effect, how ever, most of these bulbs should be planted in large quantities. However you plan to cele brate the Spring, and wherever your imagination leads you, the main thing to remember is that it all has to start now. Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and crocus must be planted in the Fall to make their appearance next year as part of your Spring celebration. the American consumer will have limited choice at higher prices. In these days of high prices and uncertain economic condi tions, if the budget-conscious American consumer cannot buy an inexpensive pair of san dals made in Italy, a sport shirt made in Hong Kong, or a baby's rompers made in Japan because the import quota for these items has already been filled, Congress will be the one to blame. The AIA warns consumers that this legislation could be the start of a comprehensive quota system. In fact, the legis lation opens the doors wide for import quotas to be placed on 'practically the whole range of consumer goods. And this, says the AIA, is wrong. "Because of imports, the American consumer today enjoys the benefits of a global marketplace. Whether he is in the market for gourmet foods, apparel, furniture, jewelry, tape recorders, cameras or cards, the variety and choice at his disposal have been widened immeasurably by imported products. Imports thus add an other dimension to free enter prise by greatly increasing the consumer's freedom of choice." So long as Congress is con cerned about protecting Ameri can textile, shoe and other industries from competition from abroad, what can the American consumer do to pro tect himself and his interests? He can write to his Congress man and say: "Look, isn't it about time you started think ing about some protection for me, too? I need some protec tion from higher prices."
