COIN TOSS SAVED LIVES
Nomads of the Wandering Iceberg
We're Sent Out By Danish Gov

hoS ANGELES, Sept. lahore
IMAM most fictional tales of adven-
ture is the Arctic experience of KAY
Jorgensen, intrepid Danish explor-
er, an da little band of followers
For more than a year Jorgensen
and the crew of his ship Teddy
which sailed from Copenhagen in
June, 1922, to explore the ice-fang-
ed coast of northern Greenland for
colonization and minmeral purposes.
lived on a floating iceberg,
For nearly two years their onIv
food consisted of Arctic animals
which they were able to catch. shoot
or trap.
And toss of a coin finally saved
their lives.
Soon after reaching the Arctic re-
glons on his hazardous undertaking
Jorgensen's little ship was caught
in an ice drift and crushed to
pieces.
The explorer and his companions
managed to salvage the cabin of
the vessel and few months supply
of food. They moved the cabin to
the center of a big iceberg and
hoped it would drift 400 miles to
southern Greenland and civilization.
Instead of their mountain of ice
drifting it became marooned in the
ocean of melting bergs.
Each day their island home be-
came smaller.
One morning they awoke to find
that their iceberg had broken in
two, leaving portion of their shack
in which they slept, hanging out
over steep precipice Of ice.
Thunderous groans from the crack
ing ice warned the veteran Iexplor
ers that still bigger break in the
floating island was near at hand.
Then it was that the stranded
wanderers gambled with Fate by
Tipping a coin.
"Heads or tails. :"
"Tails" meant that they would
move TO the opposite end of the ice.
"Heads". they would stay
where they were.
It came 'Fheads."
A few minutes later the other
half of the frozen flow broke of
from the main body and was obliter-
ated under surging torrent of ice
and snow.
For a year the explorers were
forced nomads of the wandering fee
berg, drifting aimlessly with every
wind.
Eskimo fishermen were first to
sight them. Word was sent to Den
mark and a rescue steamer sailed
to their assistance.
Jorgensen is visiting relatives
here. His expedition was commits
stoned by the Danish government.

PAVING REVIVAL

There is a paving revival in South
Georgia, both in road paving and
street paving. Valdosta is paving
all her streets, practically, and
Lowndes county is paving her high
ways. In Mitchell county the Dixie
Highway has been paved from one
side of the county to the other, and
Pelham is paving on one Of the
largest projects that has been seen
in that section. Sixty-nine city

which distinguishes the Nash built
enclosed cars. The silver-inished
hardware, including door handles,
window lifts and dome light, are
supplemented by a handsome vanity
case and smoking set and other
equipment includes heater, silken
window curtains, windshield wiper,
rear vision mirror and other details
that add to the convenience and
comfort of the passengers.
THE standard equipment in
cludes. of course, four-wheel brakes,
full balloon tires and FIVE disc
wheels. The car is powered with
the Nash perfected valve-in-head
motor, assuring unusual power,
quick ~accelleration and smooth per-

looking and handsomely appointed
automobile
