Knighthood Is
Still In Flower
NEW YOIiK (/PI — Once upon
;i time, when knighthood was still
in flower — namely Thursday —
there was a young knight by ti e
ns.me of Edward Hess.
Now this Hess was a goodly fel
low ef .erne 111 summers who hail
ed from a land called the Bronx.
He rode, Knicht Errant, into the
neighboring province of Manhat
tan on a white charger called
Xanc”, with lance in hand and
wearing a red tunic with falcon
crest, knight's helmet and coat of
mail.
He was. however, only a knight
for a day or so, and he rode around
the city of New York advertising
for Brooklyn’s St. George Hotel
and the dragon — get it?
Hess was riding on First Ave.
between 44th and 45th Sts., near
the United Nations Building, when
a likely adversary appeared in the
form of a New York taxicab.
For the benefit of the unititiated,
a New York taxicab is a sort of
modern-day dragon that moves
at high speed, stops with great
squealing, eats money and has a
call that goes: “Honk, honk.”
This particular taxicab, driven
by Philip Viceconti, pulled up be
hind Hess and his trusty mount
and went “honk, honk.”
“Neigh, neigh,” his trusty Nancy,
whirled about. And, before Hess
could go “nay, nay,” his trusty
lance had pierced the taxicab’s
armor — right in the grill.
“Odd bodkins,” said Viceconti,
or words to the effect.
“Egad,” said Hess, “ ’twas but
an error, milord.”
Quoth Viceconti as the knight
rode off into the sunset:
"Go tell King Arthur he owes
me 60 bucks for this radiator.”
U-2 Planes Based in Australia
CANBERRA, Australia (?PI — Air
Minister David Fairbain announced
Friday that U.S. high-altitude air
sampling planes — including two
U-2s and four B-57s will arrive
this week and operate from air
fields in Victoria. He added it
was cheaper and more convenient
for the air-sampling planes to be
permanently based in Australia,
| than to send them out at intervals
1 from the United States.
