Texas Editors Say
Salute To Aviation
Airplanes and aviation have been prominent and
popular in Midland a long, long time — longer in tact
than in most other West Texas cities.
From the early 1900’s when Robert Fowler of Cali-
fornia landed a plane in Midland and the late John V.
Pliska built and flew his remarkable aircraft here,
until today’s jet landings at Midland Air Terminal, the
progress of aviation has unfolded in dramatic order.
This story of progress has been one of the greatest
ever in America. It has been just as fabulous in Midland.
Aviation has played a tremendous role in the eco-
nomic development of Midland, where commercial and
private flying quickly became a way of life in the early
years of the city and industry. It is no wonder the Tall
City has become one of the greatest aviation centers of
the Southwest.
But never has sufficient credit been given those'
courageous pioneers in aviation — pilots, builders, me-
chanics, airport founders, developers and operators,
maintenance men, military personnel and others who
have played important roles in this fantastic develop-
ment.
This is why the festivities being held here this week-
end are so significant. The oldtimers who launched and
played key roles in Midland’s colorful aviation history
are being honored by those persons who today are en-
joying and benefitting from the labors of the aviation
pioneers.
The highlight of the celebration will be the Saturday
dedication of the Aeroplane Museum at Midland Air
Terminal. The magnificent museum, planned and built
by Mr. and Mrs. George T. Abell and the Abell-Hanger
Foundation, houses the famed Pliska aeroplane, which
was presented to the City of Midland by members of
the Pliska family.
But more than that, the complete history of aviation
in Midland and vicinity is told within the museum,
making it one of the city’s greatest attractions. The
community owes a debt of gratitude to its builders.
The Tall City and its residents thank and salute all
those pioneer fliers and others who have had parts in
the glorious history of aviation in this Headquarters
City of the Permian Basin Empire.

NY World’s Fair To Close Gates Tdtiigtit
By CHARLES WEST
NEW YORK (AP) — Without
ceremony, the billion • dollar
New York World's Fair, 1964-65,
comes to an end Sunday night,
its turnstiles having spun for
more than 50 million admis-
sions.
The sudden realization that
the most expensive and most
attended exposition of all times
soon would be gone brought a
rush of fairgoers to the spar-
kling international city built on
what was once 646 acres of
swamp and dump heap.
The late crowds toppled the
fair's own records — 379,000
coming last Saturday, then 383,-
000 the next day.
The rush continued into the
final weekend.
At 10 p.m Sunday, the three
ancient Swedish naval cannons
which signaled the opening of
the second season last April 21
will boom a farewell salute.
At midnight, the fairgrounds
will echo the last rings from the

ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) — A 610-
bell carillon which entertained
visitors to the New York
World's Fair the past two years
is going to start ringing next
spring at Stone Mountain State
Park. The Coca-Cola Co., which
featured the carillon in its ex-
hibit, has presented the huge
musical instrument to the state.

2 a.m. the amusement areas
will close.
And the fair will be finished.
Financially, it had its prob-
lems, running 717.5 million in
the red last year during the first
180-day season and with this
year’s accounting not yet In.
Investors won't receive 100
cents on the dollar and the eity
won't get back the $24 million it
put into preparing the Flushing
Meadow, Queens, site.
But the financial setbacks
didn’t affect the delight of fair-
goers.
“Few experiences in my Hf*
have been as enjoyabl*,” wrote
Mrs. Neal Dow Howard of
Evanston, HI., in one of many
unsolicited letters sent to the
fair’s peppery, 76-year-old pres-
ident, Robert Moses.
“We will remember our day
at your fair for a long time,”
said another letter, from Mrs.
Luther H. Ridenhour of Com
cord, N.C., her husband and
four young children.
The nearest thing to a closing
ceremony came shortly before
noon Saturday when a 465-pound
torpedo • shaped time capsule
was put into a 50-foot-desp steel
shaft 10 feet from the capsule *4
New York’s 1939-40 World’s

It contained a 117,000-page

ing from Albert Einstein’s }#?$

Roosevelt about the dawn qf to#

“In these time capsules men

or the pyramids, or the Deed

said Donald C. Burnham, presi-
dent of Westinghouse Corp,
Both capsules —- the 1939-40

against him was dropped. He
appeared later in a the role of
self-styled FBI informant and
the state’s key witness at Wilk-

Rowe, a former Birmingham
bartender whose whereabouts
became an FBI secret, told the
jury of 12 white men last May
that Wilkins killed the Detroit
housewife from a passing car.
