BiUy Mitchell bomber ' rammed
into the 78th story of the'Empire
State building at 9:62 a. m. to-
aay and mcploded In a cone of
flames that turned the world’s
tallest skyscraper into* a'funeral
pyre for at least 13 persons.
I’wenty others were Injured.
It was the most spMtioular
disaster to strike the New York
metropolitan area since the burn
ing of the Beppelln, Hlndenburg.
A searing envelope of gasoline
flames shrouded 10 stories of the
splre-llke tower of the 1,260-foot
Kmpire State building..
It trapped hundreds of persons
within flame and gas-filled rooms
more than 1,000 feet above the
street. Three elevators' plunged
out of control from the 80th floor
to the basement. Broken glass
and debris rained down over sev
eral square blocks. Half an hour
after tue explosion particles still
shattered down.
So tremendous was the explo
sion, it ripped away the fog which
had hidden the topmost stories of
the skyscraper from the vision of
the B-25 pilot.
For two minutes the pinnacle
of the chromium-girt Empire State
stood out sharp and clear in the
drizzle while orange-red flames
licked around.
Then the soft fog closed In
again to bide the scene from the
horrified sight of thousands of
midtown office workers who had
rushed to windows at the sound
of the explosion, which echoed
over central Manhattan like a
block-buster.
inside the building there was
pandemonium.

Neighbor" policy of Miss Hope
Hubbard, of Farmer, daughter of
the late Dr. and Mrs. C. C. Hub
bard. The poem, which Is as fol

News of Tuesday, July 24th;
“GOOD PICKING”
une of the airborne troupes which
among Us labors
Picks and chooses the "nation’s
good neighbors,"
After hunting some time and
getting warmer
Has decided to present Hope
Hnbbard of Farmer.
Scontmlstress, scoutmaster, a
public-school teacher.
Friend Hope in her birthright
can plnch-hlt as a preacher.
She mUks and she churns, she
reaps and she sows
And if crabgrass threatens she
gets out and hoes.
She washes and "arns", she
patches and darns.
And tnere ain’t no limit to the
things that she knows.
She started ont as chief girl
seont.
But when the hoys of the neigh
borhood wanted to scout, too,
Their lack of scoutmaster prov
ed to be no disaster.
For their paces In scouting she
led the lads through.
And In weather contrary she
set np library
To lend hooks to those who
had few, '
The volumes were well-chosen,
but don’t be supposin’
“Strange Fruit" and "Forever
Amber" were two.
Nor stops this her lending, her
garden’s extending
inelndes bnlh, root, yarb and
seasoning, too.
Flowers she’s got 'em, if yon
wait she’ll pot ’em;'
'There’s catnip, there’s hoar-
honnd, there’s thyme.
Red peppers galore grace her
kitchen door
And sage for both season and
rhyme.
Do yon ask did she learn it, in
herit or learn it—
Thik thorough good neighbor
ing and fineT
weU, It’s true that her Maker
started hef ont as a Quaker
And she had a country doctor
tor dad;
Bnt thongh she traveled as far
as np to Bryn Mfwr
She’s stayM on in Rutelph
and used what she had.
And that using 1s sharing wUh-
out greatly earing '
What she receives la retara—
aad 1 find ' .
Taat I’d better eonfees that I
just can't express
The reward of Hope’s virtue
in kind.
