ICEBERG GIVES
 PETERSBURG MAN A

4HO H Ill L0E LNlALIIN AGl
 Porter Apple, fox farmer from the Petersburg area had harrow ing and unique experience with an immense ice berg this week, one ot those things which happen once in a lifetime, for which we assume MT. Apple is thankful.
 Apple drew his 35-foot boat d. longside the big berg to chop ice. Suddenly, the berg turned and lift ed Apple, boat and all about 30 feet n the air. Luckily. the boat stayed no ts perch.
 Pilot Tony Sehwamm flew 10 the scene and found Apple had got his skiff down and was rowing a. round the berg surveying hs boat 30 feet above him, wondering how he was going to get it safely down from it's icyperch. The Coast Guard was called, but could offer no sol ution.
 Apple worried Pilot Sehwamm the Coast Guard studied ways and means but nobody could think of anything
 About the tune the boat was given up as a total loss the iceberg solved the riddle. It rolled over a. gain and set the boat down in the water as gently as a duck feather gliding to earth.
 It's one of those believe it or nots", but Pilot Scbwamm took pie lures of the happening to prove it.

Campaign Continues

Several communities were hot
ready to report last week and so no
report was made. I am happy to say,
however, that the campaign is GO
ing very satisfactory. $4,000 was
set as the goal for Holmes county;
$4,000 has already been reported
with several communities yet to
hear from. I am sure each commun-
ity In Holmes county is anxious to
have a good hand in this most urg-
ent call so when this research and
educational campaign, made possible
by your contributions, succeeds In
the eradication of Gamer and the
saving Of thousands of lives as it
surely will, you will feel proud that
you had a hand in it. Research and
education eradicated Yellow Fever,
Smallpox, Typhoid Fever, ETC., also
discovered the sulfa drug, penicillin,
and DOT. Let's make possible the
same result with reference to cancer.
Would like all reports in by June
Sth so as to have a complete report

.lCRR Building First
.An-EIedric Diner

Using as a pattern an electric
galley developed for naval subma.
rine cooking, the Illinois Central
Railroad is building the first all
electric dining a on any American
railroad. This is announced by
Wayne A. Johnston, president, who
expects the car will be ready FOL
service before Christmas.
As novelties in railway food han
ding, the new equipment includes
heavy-duty electric ranges, automa-
tic broilers, bake ovens, automatic
deep-fry kettles, a garbage disposal
system, electric d~ishwashers, auto
matte grills, griddles and coffee
makers, a. well as the last word in
sub-zero freezing units and refrig-
orators. The new diner will likewise
have the newest lighting and tenn
perature control appliances.
Designed and manufactured by
the Edison General Electric Appli-
ance Company, which Is co-operat-
ing with N. L. Patterson, Illinois
Central general superintendent Of
dining service, the galley duplicates
Navy efficiency IN preparing large
quantities Of food in condensed quar-
tiers. Electric power will be furnish
ed by generators installed beneath
the floor.
To illustrate the saving of space.
Mr.. Patterson points out that the
automatic electric fry kettle occupies
only two square feet and will turn
out hourly more than 100 pounds OF
French fried potatoes, fried chicken
or fish. With the use Of modern
cooking-fat compounds, 1t will be
possible to deep-fry onions, dough-
nuts, fish and potatoes successfully
without allowing one to affect the
taste Of another.
The introduction Of the sub-zero
freezing compartments, Mr.. Patter-
son reports, will permit serving "out-
of-season" foods regularly through
out the year.
