THE ORE BOATS

The first iron ore transported
on Lake Superior was carried in
various kinds OF small craft.
The first iron ore went down
the lake in small sailing vessels
Another device was TO lash
two sailing ships together and
tow them with a steam tug.
The earliest transportation OPP
erations were conducted only in
the daytime. At night all craft
sought safe harbors.
The first steamer in lake ore
transportation was put into ser
vice in 1869.
All Of the early craft were made
from wood. In 1882 an iron ship
was made TO float and carry the
ion ore from which II was made.
The first steel ore carrying
craft was put onto the Great
Lakes in 1884.

Some trailers in the industry which
are going in strong for "permanence'
feature television and air-condition-

popular. The mobile home can re-

quickly than can other housing In
dustries since air-conditioning can be
easily added.
The local trailer builders are en-
thusiastic with prospects for the
future of mobile homes. Mute
evidence of the growth of the in
dustry is seen by the tremendous
amount of capital which has been
spent in recent years on mobile home
parks. During 1854 some $4,000 new
parks were established at a cost OF
nearly $4O00OO,0OO, substantial in

The demand for greater trailer

been noted in recent months with the
influx of construction workers, first
on the Route 25 bypass project, and
more recently on the pipeline project.
Every available vacant lot has been

Turnpike Tops
Death Record

BEDFORD, Pa, Aug. Is (P.-
More people have met death on
the Pennsylvania Turnpike this
month than in any month since
the famed four-lane super high
way was opened IS years ago.
Seventeen persons have been
killed in traffic accidents this
month. And there's still nearly
a week to go.
The previous high toll was IA
in December of 1850. That was
before the 67-mile western ex-
tension of the turnpike was
opened.
One accident this week took
six lives when a car jumped the
middle strip and plowed head-on
into another.
Capt. Singleton Sheaffer,
head of the turnpike State police
detail. told the Associated Press
yesterday 81 persons have been
killed on the toll road so far this
year, compared with 80 in the
similar period last year. In all of
1854 the death toll wass 81. The
all-time high was 81 in 1853.
Capt. SheafTer said bad tires
and above normal rainfall-com-
bined with human fallibility-
were primarily responsible for
the recent increase.

Chou Plans to Visit

CAIRO, Aug. rs PJ.-Red
Chinese Premier Chou En-lai is
expected to visit Egypt before
the end Of the year.
The spokesman for the Minis
try of National Guidance said
today diplomatic contacts were

He refused to reveal whether it

Relations between Red China

At the time the Chinese
Premier invited Col. Nasser to

never was fixed.

a $23-million cotton deal, putting
Red China third among the
buyers of Egyptian cotton.

Senator Bourke Hickenlooper,

Senator Bourke Hickenlooper,
Republican, of Iowa, had a re-
markable experience not too long
ago when on an official trip to
Bolivia. He had the opportunity
to fish Lake Titicaca for the
giant rainbow trout found there.
Back in the middle 30s many
thousands Of lingering rainbows
were stocked in this lake, which
lies at an altitude of 10000 feet,
and the lake was closed to fish
ing. They throve nightly in
the chill waters and the lake
was opened to fishing in 1851.
Immediately anglers began to
take big catches Of monster rain
bows. with trout up to 20 pounds
commonplace.
AS the guest of William Dodge.
jr., who owns farm bordering
Lake Titicaca, they trolled the
lake from a small cabin cruiser,
using all-silver daredevil lures.
The Senator was using a light
bay rod and 200 yards of 12-
pound test nylon line when a
huge fish struck in fairly shallow
water, just off the weed beds
bordering the lake, After bat
ting the trout, which leaped
six times, he finally was able to
bring it alongside, only to find
the fish was so big the landing
net could not accommodate it.
Dodge, who was handling the
boat, then got a gaff and slipped
the trout on deck. 1t was 81
inches long with girth of 26la
inches. Back at the dock they
found the fish tipped the scales
at "a pounds 2 ounces. This is
certainly a real angling feat for
even a veteran fisherman such
as Senator Hickenlooper. He
has caught all sorts Of fish from
big tuna down to tiny brook
trout, but says this gave him the
greatest thrill of his lifetime.

Tooling a car at better than

beach at Daytona is not just
matter of letting Roy Chambers

machine and putting Jimmy

and his companions have seen

to know better.
