For Emergency

A Pan American Always
plane landed 1000 pounds of
dried ice here today to meet
an emergency that no longer
exists. However, it was a re-
markable demonstration of
efficiency and service offered
by the Company.

was reported; Rasmussen AS
sociates had on hand an esti-
mated 5000 worth Of cold
storage. Then W 0 r d was
quickly passed that the power
would, probably be off for
three to five days.
John Ohmeis, called on
J. w. Crawford, local agent
Tor Pan American to find out
about the possibility of get
ting a supply of dried ice from
Miami. The teletypes were
not working. Mr.. Crawford
dispatched a message through

quarter in Miami. BY $50 the
ice was aboard a plane and it
was delivered at 100 o'clock
today.
The plane was a regular
plane from New York which
makes weekly flights to these
parts when cargo is available.
