Firemen were called to an industrial park east of the Hutchinson airport early in the morning, from under two natural gas lines and a gasoline line serving a Champlain Petroleum

"We're advising people not to travel unless they have to. We are telling people they have to evacuate their homes call us or go to the sports arena. But I don't think

Animated art collection at Union
Bugs Bunny is their hottest selling item. But Daffy Kay and Wite E. Coyote are the stars of the new Gallery Lainberg, a Cedar Rapids, gallery that specializes in original art from museums.
A touring collection of the gallery's original "cels" is in the Kansas Union lobby today, with works on sale for $5 to $15.
"Cel" is short for Celluloid, a colorless material once used in animated film making that has since been replaced by plastic.
Cels are clear plastic sheets onto which a drawing has been hand inked. They were actually used in the making of films and are one-of-a-kind paintings, Rudman said.
Gallery Lainterb procreates the cels from animated film studios, such as Warner Bros. and Walt Disney Studios. The cells are then custom-matted at the gallery.
"We're a small but energetic organization," Rudman said.
WITH HER BUSHAND, Bert, Rudman began Laintung and animated art collecting four years ago. Since then they have added a mail-order catalog and the
traveling collection, which goes to colleges and universities throughout mid-America.
The KU sale was successful yesterday, the first day of the collection run, Barbara J. Grant, gallery representative said.
She said Bugs Bunny was the most popular item, not only at but also at other locations. The film was based here, Grant plays "Quasi at the Quackadera," an animated film by San Diego artist Mike Dell'Alba.
"It's a strange, not funny cartoon," she said. But she said that many people acquainted with animation were very interested in the film.
RUDMAN SAID THAT although animation hit its heyday in the late '30s and early 40s, there seemed to be a resurgence of interest in cartoons.
although Rudman said they had the finest collection in the United States.
Animation cell paintings are displayed in many galleries and museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Francisco Museum of Art, Rudman said the California Railroad Museum also had purchased some cuts of trains from the gallery.
"Animation is burgeoning. People are tired of watching Saturday morning television with its limited animation," she said.
GRANT SAID that the highest pried cell was a special limited edition painting by Chuck Jones, creator of Bugs Bunny, Diffy Duck, the Roadrunner and Pork Pie.
Gallery Lainzberg is not the only gallery involved in the business of animated art,
The $125 cel features the characters from the new Jones film, "The Return of Duck Doodlers in the 24th and a half Century," and is dated and signed by Jones.
Rudman said that she thought people were interested in purchasing cebes because they were colorful and dynamic and the cebes were valuable collectors' items.
"People can see the benefit of owning a signed seal," she said. "But I also think in people's conscience there's a certain affection for these cartoon characters."
