Description
The original release sheet reads: "METS" MAKE DEBUT AT NEW BALL PARK Curtain goes up on a new attraction in New York. Shea Stadium. New home of Casey Stengel's New York METS 50,000 fans see the season's opener. It turns out to be woeful watching as the METS lose to Pittsburgh 4 to 3. But just wait until tomorrow, or the next day or the next . MOUNT ETNA ERUPTS ANEW Europe's highest active volcano asserts itself once more. Mt. Etna in Sicily is shaken by violent explosions that hurl tons of rock and lava in the worst eruption of Etna in 50 years . WOMAN FLIER CIRCLES GLOBE Mrs. Jerrie Mock is back in Columbus, Ohio ready to rest on some fancy records she rolled up circling the earth in 29 days. Flying more than 22,000 miles. The housewife a bit tired but happy is greeted wildly upon her return. SHADES OF TOSCANINI In Paris they uncork (the word is used advesedly) the Music of the Future. A symphony of steel sheets and glass tubes!--a combo strange enough to set music back to the days of the caveman. FLYING UP AND OVER DOWN UNDER Australia is getting into the act---we mean the rocket race. On a one-man scale. At Sydney they display the Down-Under version of the troop-carrying solo rocket. In 17 seconds it carries a pilot 120 yards! TRAVEL-EASY FASHION Thinking of taking off for Europe or South America??? Take a leaf from the travel plans of these gals. They nack the new streach fabrics that help them get through schedules without a worry-or a wrinkle. Nothing but miles of smiles ahead.
