"Ice Age in the Bronx"
BY FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter

HELLO EVERYBODY:
IL For a long time I've been telling the cockeyed world
that you don't have to &c places to find adventure. l re-
member once saying that you could get more thrills just
by sticking around your own home town than you could by
signing up with Admiral Byrd for one of his exploring trips
to the South pole.
And now, here comes John Sandman of the Bronx to tell m I was
right about that South pole business. Admiral Byrd went down into the
Antarctic to study the ice age, but Jack Sandman stayed home and
studied another ice age-in the Bronx
The Admiral loaded up a boat, signed o a crew, and sailed
away toward the South pole. but Jack just put o his coat and a
pair Of gloves and, in ten minutes, found a spot that was just as
cold a anything the Byrd expedition a able to dig up in a years
stay way down there at the bottom of the world.
1t was in June, 1882. which is a doggone strange time for a MAI to
go Arctic adventur!ng in the Bronx. Jack wa working in an ice-crean
factory and that more or less explains everything. The plant was a
new one. and a lot Of newfangled machinery had been installed in it.
One o. the machines was the big steel conveyor that carried packaged
ice-creann into the freezing chamber. That machine was the special bane
of Jacks existence. The freezing chamber was a long tunnel where
the temperature ran around 40 below zero. Moisture used to gather in
there and turn INTO ice. During a weeks time. enough of It used to collect
so that there was danger Of it stopping the machinery. Then, Jack found
himself facing a job he didn't like very we'll.
Working in Forty Below Zero.
The job was to crawl inside the freezing tunnel and hack and chip out
all the ice. 1t was a chore that took every bit of two hours, but it had to
be done a little at a time, for 10 mar could stand that 40 below eo
temperature for more than 20 minutes at a stretch. 1t couldn't be done
