Sky Cradles for Babies I
NEW YORK, N. Y. — First passenger in this new, lightweight
aluminum and plastic bassinet, was 13-months-old Susan Negaard,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Negaard of Jackson Heights, N. Y.,
shown with Stewardess Gerry McGrail. The “Sky Cradle” was de
signed to provide comfortable trips for young passengers in four
engine Flagships of American Airlines.
Lined with a waterproof, quilted type white plastic material, it
is centered with a wide belt, fastened by a zipper to hold the infant
snugly. Hanging from the side and end are pockets for baby supplies.
Two of the cradles are stowed in each plane, ready for instant installa
tion at the forward seats at either side of the aisle.

been plagued with labor troubles
as never before.
One of the prime examples of
bureaucratic asininity ended when
the civilian production admnis
tration dropped its order limiting
the length of women’s skirts. That
regulation was on a par with the
war-time edict shortening the tails
of men’s shirts. These limitations
may have saved some cloth, but
they opened the eyes of the public
to the extremes to which bureau
crats will go when they have a
chance to regulate everything and
everybody.

balking at excessive meat prices, it
is apparent that consumer resist

them down to reasonable levels.
Just because they are meat hun

of values. Now that price ceilings
are off, and meat is beginning to
appear again, they can say what
they think about prices and their
opinions will carry weight.

Anyone May Be
Weather Prophet
JUNEAU — Almost anyone can
forecast the weather for a period
of six months in advance, and
with reasonable accuracy, accord
ing to the opinion of W. S. Peko
ivch, well-known mining man of
Hawk Inlet and long-time resi
dent of Alaska.
The system is simplicity itself,
as he explains it. After a great
deal of study and comparing of
Weather Bureau records over a
number of years, Pekovich has
concluded that every sixth month
is camparable with its preceding
counterpart. Thus, if January for
instance, happened to be an ex
ceptionally wet month for the
time of the year and locality, then
July would be likewise, etc.
So, all anyone has to do is to
keep a record of each day’s weath
er, and thus be able to forecast
comparable weather six months in
advance. This would be of great
value to farmers, and others who
plan their affairs in advance, Pek
ovich believes.
Another theory Pekovich has is
that weather goes in cycles, the
same as the sun, moon and tides,
but the trick is to find the key to
that cycle. For many years he has
checked weather reports in an at
tempt to locate the key, but has so
far been unsuccessful, although
he is not yet discouraged.
And for all you “rainfall” guess
ers, heres’ a tip for the next two
months. Pekovich foresees the dri
