Private Plane Lands
In Back Yard But Has
Difficulty Taking Off
MASSAPEQUA, N.Y., UJV-Sil
vie Speroni skillfully put his pri
vate plane down in the back yard
of a beachfront home he is build
ing here, but the maneuver set up
a chain of legal reaction.
Speroni, a Bronx contractor,
got the urge Friday to visit the
house while flying his four-seater
plane from a nearby airport.
Observers said he came down,
wriggling between the homes in
the area, for a perfect landing.
However, police gave him a
summons for illegal use of a high
way, since part of the landing
was made in a street.
Speroni, 50, said: “Alright, now
I’ll take off and fly batik to the
airport.”
No, said police, he’d have to get
permission to take off from the
Civil Aeronautics Authority.
Speroni tethered the plane in
his back yard and got a ride back
home by automobile.
This Gadget
Just Rght
For Alaska
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 8, UP—
When Burnet Taylor wants to
start his car these cold mornings
he just presses a button at the
breakfast table and the old bus
kicks over and warms up by re
mote control while he eats ham
and eggs.
Taylor, a “greese monkey” and
inventor, said he rigged up this
scheme because he dreads “going
out and getting into that cold
automobile.”
Taylor has a patent pending for
his automatic starting device—
without the breakfast table push
button. All you do is set a dial
inside the car, say for 7:30 a.m.,
before you go to bed the night be
fore. At 7:30, the motor starts and
runs for 15 minutes, warmed up
and ready for your 7:45 depar
ture.

Wedding Belles Are
Slightly Off Key
In Newspaper Article
(From The American Press)
We don’t know what newspaper
started it, but the story has been
going the rounds in which all of
the typographical errors and sole
cisms common to wedding stories
were included in one story, as
follows:
“The bride was given in mar
riage by her father, wearing her
mother’s wedding gown. The cou
ple went to high school together
and their marriage will stop a
romance begun there. The bride
wore a strand of tiny matched
pearls. Her gown was of vile
green. Her accessories were plain
punk. The bridegroom’s mother
was attired in a lace dress which
fell to the floor.
“And, the maid of horror wore
yellow toole. The bridesmaids car
ried tinny nose-bags. The flower
girl wore a maize gown with
puffed sleeves touching her ankles.
The bride’s mother wore a dawn
blue chiffon and a black stray
hat. The nuptials took place in a
setting illuminated by lighted Ro
man candles. The couple ex
changed cows. The bridal couple
then passed out and greeted the
guests. The ceremony was attend
ed by only a few loose friends
and relatives.”
