Wrecked Locomotive
To Be Taken From
Station Ahead Of Time

The machinists working on the
locomotive buried in Union Sta,
ton are cutting it UP so fast they
expect to have the entire engine
removed by Thursday, three days
ahead of schedule.
The job started Friday. The
railroaders figured at first it
would take 10 days.
But they were hacking the big
broken hulk apart ata.great rate
yesterday. Sparks ssh0wered
about the 225-ton electric loco
motive as cutting torches bit
into its steel frame, air hammers
battered its sides, and three
dozen sweating workmen clam
bered over it, ripping out its
machinery.
The engine came hurtling of
the tracks and into the station
almost two weeks ago, hauling
three coaches with it.
Locomotive in Basement.
:.
The weight was too much for
the concourse floor which col
lapsed, dropping the train into
the baggage room in the base
ment.
Wreck gangs removed the
coaches from the concourSe, but
they couldn't get to the engine. So
they let it stay In the basement,
built a new concourse floor over
it, and waited until the sta
tion's presidential Inauguration
rush ended before starting to
scrap the locomotive.
]. w. Swafford, the terminal
wreckmaster, is in charge Of
operations.
H. A. Fettig. general foreman
Of the Pennsylvania lines shops,
also is on hand. Mr.. Fettig has
"a men down here from the
Wilmington. DEL. shop-all ex-
perts in operations like this one.
The engine, worth $3.50, 900,
isn't a total loss. Mr.. Fettig said
his gang has Salvaged between
100000 and 100000 worth Of
switches, instrument panels,
transformer parts and the like
so far, and expect to get more
out Of it as work gees along.
Work in Close Quarters.
The job would be simple
one, If the engine were where
Workmen could get at it.
But it's hemmed in by 12-by-
II timbers supporting the new
concourse floor. Workmen can't
use big cranes. There isn't
room. = And even the smaller
cranes have tough time get
ting their boomS in among the
overhead pipes and wires.
Once a chain link snapped
and the crane dropped a four
ton piece of the engine frame.
But bit by bit and bite by
bite the men are hacking away.
Some Parts USabIe.
The pieces are being ,trucked
away TO be railroaded to Mr.. Fet-
tig's home Office. Some parts
can be built into other engines.
The rest will be sold as junk.
THE work will get easier as it
goes along" said Mr.. Swafford,
eyelng crew busily engaged in
side the wreck.
We've got the hood off, just
like your automobile, so we can
get at the job better" he said.
just then one Of the men in
side the engine aimed his acety-
lene torch at a web Of pipes.
Sparks danced around crafty,
and suddenly rivulet ran from
the pipes, courseds over the en-
gine floor and dropped to the
ground. -.
Whats all that?" a visitor
asked, stepping aside to get away
from the steadily thickening
stream.
Its water that was left in the
pipes" a workman said.

had good reason to be happy
today-her only living sister is
one of seven Americans expected

three years of internment in
North Korea.
Miss Rosser said she previously
had heard that her sister. Mary
Helen RoSSer, was in good health
and might be coming home soon.
but she had refused to allow
herself to become too hopeful
because the reports were un-
verified.

nurse in the Methodist Mission
ary organization, was stationed
In Kaesong. Korea. in the sum-
mer OF 1850 and was interned
the first night Of the invasion

One of the ladies asked TAYLOR

even catch one.
Taylor looked down at his big
toe (Which he had Just cut on a

pointed to red string which he
mad used to tie down a piece of

Garden Time
BY Robert Schmidt

While we are between crops. in
a sense, we should be thinking of
ways to improve our garden soils.
Much needed organic matter NAV
be added through the use of stable
manures or summer and fall green
crops to be turned under. Field
peas, soy beans or crotalaria NAV
be sown now and turned under in
the late fall or crimson clover NAV
be sown in August or September
to be turned under next spring.
For eastern and central North
Carolina l like crimson clover.
These materials will make heavy
soils easier to work and will give
sandy soils better water hold
ing capacity and, along with that
there is the added fertility.
The average gardner probably
understands little about soil acid
lty and the proper use of lime.
That is because he usually does
not know the needs of the individ-
ual crops. Also, he does not know
how acid his soil is. He usually
adds lime because someone sup-
gests that his crops will grow
better if he uses it. 1t is foolish
to add lime to soil if you do not
know that it needs lime or that
the crops to be grown REQUIRE
more lime.
Lime reduces soil acidity. Most
vegetable crops will thrive in
slightly acid (pH 6 to CD soils
but there are a number of them
that will not thrive at all in very
acid (pH As to SOY soils. These
are asparagus, spinach, celery,
onions, lettuce, beets, muskmelons
cauliflower, broccoli, parsnips. and
satisfy. Crops such as beans, Gu
cumoers, corn, watermelons, sweet
potatoes, Irish potatoes and to-
matoes are quite tolerant of very
acid soils. In fact, it is desirable
for watermelons. 1t is also de-
slrable to grow Irish potatoes on
quite acid soils in order to pre-
vent the development of potato
scab, a serious disease that is
made worse by lining the soil.
The soil testing laboratory of
the N. c. Department of Agricul-
ture, Raleigh, will test your soil
free of charge and tell YOU how
much lime to use. Take samples
by slicing the soil with shade
or trowel to depth of four to six
inches which will give you soil
from the top as we'll as lower
down. Thoroughly mix and send
about one pint to the laboratory

to make as many as three or four

occasion demands.

Miss McIver defines a 'sbasic
dress as one of good material
conservative in cut and color which
may be easily varied to suit most
any occasion by your choice of
accessories. Knowing your most
flattering and becoming colors is
an important factor in selecting a
basic dress and building your
wardrobe. The woman with the
limited income should choose
eolors for her carry-over garments
nike suits and coats, advises Miss
McIver.
Don't expect your wardrobe
plan to become workable in one
season, says Miss McIver. II will
take several seasons - mavbe :,
year or two to get your wardrobe
well under way.
The wardrobe plan will enable
you to have appropriate clothes
Tor every occasion. 1t will also
help to stretch the clothing dollar,
