PUMP AIR IN CAN

During the period OF immersion,
air is pumped continuously
through the bottom of each can,
thus preventing the ice from
freezing a milky white color.
Thirty-six hours after being i'm
mersed, the tanks. eight at time,
are lifted from their brine bath
by means of a crane and dipped
into warm water. just long enough
to free each block from the can.
The cans are then tipped and
the 400-pound blocks slid out,
each clear as pane of glass.
Each is next conveyed through a
scoring machine which saws the
block into 16 25-pound pieces.
For crushed ice, the 400-pound
blocks are placed into crushing
machines which produce four
grades-snow ice, which, as the
name implies. is almost as fine as
snow: pebble, the size of corn kerr
nels: medium. each piece the size
of a quarter or half dollar. and
coarse, as large as lemon or
orange.

that approximately So hours are

.0PA Probes
Ice Racket

Instances where ice truckers
neglect their regular routes and
peddle their ice to the highest bid.
ders in neighborhoods were re-
ported by the OPA today as the
ice shortage continued for the
fifth consecutive day with no APP
parent relief in sight.
w. f. Fitzgerald. district OPA
director, declared that his govern
mental agency is investigating
dozens" of "auctioning- COM
plants, including one that ice sold
for 81 per 100 pounds, whereas
the ceiling is 60 cents per 100.

Meanwhile, food spoiled
Throughout the city and it even
looked like the race track horses
would be deprived of the half ton
of ice used daily to cool. their
hooves.
Bars and other concessions at
the race track received ii, TOO
pounds of ice yesterday. chiefly
for use in chilling highballs, beer
and soft drinks, despite the fact
that government agencies and the
ice companies had announced that
voluntary rationing would be put
into effect to relieve the shortage.
500 HOMES WORTH
1t was estimated that the ice
delivered at the track would have
relieved the situation in 300 De-
troit homes.
Coincidentally with the voluntary
rationing plan, it was announced
that deliveries luxury ice to
saloons and amusement places
would be eliminated. Luxury ice
was defined as shaved or cubed
| ice.
Despite the '1uxury'' ban, de-
liveries at the race track included
20 bags of crushed ice for mixed
drinks. Approximately half a ton
was delivered to the stables for
cooling the hooves of horses before
they entered races.
Most of the trainers, II was
said, insist on so pounds to make
packs for each horse.
