"Breath of DOOM
| ELLO EVERYBODY:


IL John A. Rollins of Decatur, ILL.,, is a refrigerator re-
pairman, and he knows the ms and outs of mechanical re-
frigeratng systems and can tell you just what makes them
60.
John learned that business with an eye to making his
bread and butter out of it. But there came a time when
he had to use every doggone bit of the knowledge he had
acquired-to save his life.
But, in the end, it was a penknife that saved the day.
Without it, all of Johns technical skill would have been
of little use in the battle against the icy breath of doom
which he and his helper found themselves fighting. Johns
knowledge told him what not to do, but knowing what not
to do isn't enough when death is clamping down and slowly
wringing the life out of you.
1t all happened in Springfield, Ill. On March 81, 1886,
John Rollins was called over there to make some repairs
in the refrigerating plant of the Morris Fish Market. He got
there early in the morning with his helper, and they worked hard all
day o the job.
The market had several cooler rooms carrying belowfreezing tenn
peratures and m room, called a sharp fish freezer, that went down
to 10 n Is degrees below zero when the machinery was working.
Evening was coming I, and still their job wasn't finished.
The market had closed and every one had gone home before John
finally got the machinery working properly. He still had to test
1t, though, and he turned the controls OF full and he and his
helper climbed out Of the basement and went up through the big,
empty market to the sharp freezer room to see how rapidly the
machine was bringing the temperature down.
Find Catch Broken on Freezer Door.
When they got to the freezer door, John noticed again that the
catch Was broken. There was a old pair of ice tongs hanging
nearby to open it in case it stuck. He had see that before. and

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-07

an eight-months' infant weighing only four pounds entering the struggle for survival of the fittest This is only one of the multitude of services undertaken by the Visit ing Nurse association in Waterbury.
 That baby weighed a little over two pounds when she was born at home and was kept in the incubator for three months before she was strong enough to be cared for as a normal baby. The Visiting Nurse went to the home twice a day dur ing this entire time as the heat of the incubator had to be watched and controlled; the humidity meas ured as well as very special perma- ture baby nursing care given. To- day the baby is eight months old, weighs sixteen pounds and is. out doors every day.
 Two weeks ago one of the nurses visited baby whose parents brought him home from the hospital when he weighed only four pounds. At this time of year it is almost impossible to keep the average home warm enough to be safe for such small baby. The nurse wrapped him up in several blankets, kept him surrounded with hot water bottles until the Visiting Nurse Association incubator could be sent to the home. After he was put into the incubator he started to gain and grow stronger until at the end of the TWO weeks he was big enough to be treated like other babies.
 The third baby was even more delicate and after week in the incubator it seemed wise for him to be in the hospital. Skilled nurs- ing care of this kind means life to such delicate babies, and 1t would be unthinkable to curtail 1t.
 However, unless more contri- buttons are received by the Visit ing Nurse Association at 37 Central avenue from the people of Water bury, there is no alternative but to curtail this work. The Association receives no support from federal, state or local governments, and must depend upon the generosity of Waterburians.
