...Infant Feeder. A gadget that resembles a large hypodermic syringe has been developed by California's Deemer-Howard Associates for feeding solids and cereals to infants. Consisting of a transparent plastic tube with a plunger on one end that pushes food through to a nipple on the other end. the Infa-Feeder is designed to eliminate the usual messiness associated with infant feeding time. But it will probably not outsmart babies really determined to plaster their faces with food. Price...
...some financial circles, the word airplane has become a dirty word." So says Mackey Airlines' President Joseph C. Mackey, and nowhere is the complaint louder than among the nation's 13 small feeder airlines, which cannot raise the money to buy the aircraft they need. Last week the feeders were in Washington, urging Congress to approve a pair of bills designed to help them out of their financing problems. One was a bill introduced by Oklahoma's Senator Mike Monroney that would give U.S. feeder airlines a Government guarantee on any loan from private sources; the other...
...haul routes. Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corp., building the F-27 under license, already has 69 firm orders or options from U.S. lines. Flying without subsidy, the F-27 is expected to break even on a load factor of 57%. Better routing, with Civil Aeronautics Board help, could then boost feeder traffic, although many lines will still need subsidies for years to come.

Fairchild has taken...
...Profits, No Loans. "Bankers just aren't interested in loaning us money after seeing our books," says Jack Ayer of Trans-Texas Airways, which has never declared a dividend, last year netted barely $10,000 on operating revenues of $5,997,000. Almost every other feeder is in the same squeeze. When Central Airlines asked the Fort Worth National Bank for more than $2,000,000 to replace its DC-35, the bank could only take a sternly "dim view"; Central has already been to the bank 107 times since 1949, is still...
...oleaginous grin, and a no-ulcer format thickly populated with bosomy fiddlers. Although his corn is off an aged cob ("Haven't had so much fun since the old cow had twins"), Dean is, in the words of an associate, "photogenic, amiable, happy-go-lucky and a nipple feeder-that is, he knows little outside his music." Says his manager, Connie B. Gay, who is the chief impresario of country-music shows: "Garroway plays to the box office, Jimmy to the grandstand...
