ICE KEEPS FlREMEN WARM

Then get draped in a suit of ice. It's
the latest winter apparel and is worn

says the Journal OF that city.
The wearer may look like an arctic

but he will be as warm and snug as a

People who see the fremen with

almost as warm as stove poker.
The only disadvantage is the
weight. He feels about as sprightly
as a deep-sea diver. Sometimes the
ice on his hat will be an inch thick
or more.
Occasionally, where fremen have
to remain stationary for some time
while water pools about their feet,
they get frozen in and have to be
chopped out with axes. DO they feel
cold? Not bit Of it, The ice keeps
them warm
1T is common thing for tremen
to get back to the stations and find
themselves SO crusted that they can't
