Parks Model Airplane Meet Promotes National Freedom Flame
Parks Model Airplane Meet in Philadelphia plans to light the National Freedom Flame in Independence Square using a torch Tuesday. The Freedom Flame idea originated with the Young Men's Business Association and is now backed by the U S Junior Chamber of Commerce. An international Muslim convention in Cedar Rapids featured four Arabic entertainers performing nightly, including B Louren Jamal Azzous Omar Khadaj and Francis Saad, described as top professionals. They played Arabic music with a lute and quarter tones, with the lute tracing back 3 000 years.
