Collector of Goblets -

MISS ISABELLE MOSSMAN, 3358 Ruckle st. has 7

enough goblets to set a. table for a huge banquet. But she never has used them. She has all the goblets—168 of them—on shelves in her dining room, And not one of them has the same shape or sound. Miss Mossman has been collecting goblets as a hobby for the last six years. Some of them she gets from antique shops. Others her friends give her. Still others she has picked up froin little shops throughout the country, . . . Some of the goblets are made of Blown glass and some of molded glass, They date all the way back to the 1830's with many of them coming from the period of the Philadelphia exposition, 1876. ., . , Miss Mossman knows each one of the goblets by name There's the frosted stork. the clear--ribbon,. the thousand eye, the hour glass, the rose in the snow, the diamond quilted, birds in the swamp, wild flower, cannon ball, pigs and the corn and many others. Many of the patterns seem to include grapes, thumbprints and birds. . . .-And there are stories behind many of the goblets, too. One of Miss Mossman's favorites is a rather plain goblet which was used as a come munion cup years ago. Her own mother had used it before the church changed over to individual . cups. Another one of the goblets belonged to an old Methodist minister's family. , . . Quite a while ago before Miss Mossman acquired some of her most precious goblets she was told tha: her collection was worth around $150. But she wouldn't part with it for anything. . . . Besides goblets Miss Mossman also has collected bread plates. One of them is a small glass plate with the Last Supper scene in

PARIS, Jan. 2. — In French homes this winter you're greeted by an emphatic “keep your coat on,” instead of “bonjour.” Fifty per cent of Paris’ apartment houses. are totally unheated, a bare 45 per cent have one warmed room and only 5 per cent have central heating—for a brief six weeks out of four hard winter months. The only marked difference from the wintér of 1944, when France was still at war, is that government employees now work in comfortably heated offices. . Coal is practically the only means of heating. - Electric stoves are forbidden by law. Wood is obhtainable only by country folk due : to lack of transportation. But ; coal is strictly rationed.

Aviation =

I DON'T understand why Pan American Alrways does not extend its facilties right smack across the U. 8S, and thus provide the final link in its globecircling air transportation system. It is entitled to this extension as:its only answer to the competitive invasion by ‘our domestic airlines into the international field of air commerce. 2 It was Pan American Airways that 'pionéered the international carriage of passengers, mail, and freight,” while our domestic airlines were developing our internal air transportation facilities. Pan American Airways was restricted to the use of air bases within the territorial limits of this country, and held to its pioneering job of making international air transportation work. This was probably a legitimate restriction In the early days. Now that our domestic airlines have consolidated their ‘Internal U. 8. operations and schedules, they are extending these same facilities globally. They acquired a taste of global air transportation by reason of their wartime contracts with the government for carrying strategic supplies arid people to our far flung war fronts. They cut their eyeteeth on global air transportation under this sponsorship...

Nevertheless, the vast funds required to implement Pan American's crusade to fly the American air commerce flag all over the world were obtained from thousands of private Americans who were convinced that such an ambitious air commerce venture could succeed—while the greater part of the world dreamed of it. . “When Pan American lands trans-oceanic passengers on our West or East coasts, it is forced to turn them over to our domestic airlihes—Pan American's international alr transport competitors. tion is obvious—why fiot a Pan American the U, 8.
