' How 'many stiff necks are j ) there in Sullivan this morning? m Last night Sullivan county people were treated' to one of the ' greatest shows ever witnessed the heavens gave forth with a gigantic display of fireworks in t' the form of shooting stars. The 1 show was heralded for many " days in . newspapers over the ' country as astronomers had learned that the shooting meS teors would appear as the re- '. suit of the comet GiacobiniI . Zinner breaking up years ago and its contact with the orbit of the j earth as both circled the sun. ('Leastways that's the way we f heerd it!) Some people claimed fhey counted over a hundred per ; minute. The meteors were shooting in every direction with the maiority falling diagonally from high in the north toward the east horizon.

BALKANS TODAY BULLETIN! LONDON Oct. 10. (UP) The Red Army forbade air traffic over Hungary and Rumania today in a move attributed by military and diplomatic sources ir. Washington to troop movements and maneuvers in the Balkans. The Soviet air ban also was applied to. Czechoslovakia for a time but General Joseph C. McNarney's office in Frankfurt announced that flights over that country could be resumed. The only immediate clue to a sudden blackout of the Balkans and Cechoslovakia's skies by the Soviets came from Washington. There a diplomatic source reported that the Russians were conducting troop maneuvers in western Hungary and live ammunition was . being used.
