Cabbage Sirays, Airline Pays

Fifty-six pounds is a lot of cabbage, and it's pretty specta- cular when it's all amassed in one head. Still, attention-get- ting or not, what can you do with maverick concentration of cole-slaw makings? That's the question that was plagu- ing the Northwest Orient Air lines staff in Chicago this week, as they helplessly view ed a mammoth cabbage, grown (you guessed iD by John Bush, Matanuska Valley vegetables farmer.
 Seems it's been ar annual custom to ship one of Bush S prize-winning oleracea capitata (yup, cabbage) to the Sauer- kraut Festival at Valley, Hi nois. Only this year the festi- val was discontinued, and word didn't reach the proper sour ces in time. The whopping vegetable was picked up by Perry MeLain of Anchorage, and sent on its airborn way.
 Wonder if the Northwest Or tent Airlines are featuring corned beef and cabbage on their menus this week.

Retired Conductor Cleans Up Cemetery
Betty H. Upton

KEYSVILLE, June q The
brakes Branch Presbyterian
Cemetery has been cleaned up
by a 74-year-old, retired, rail
road conductor.
"Honeysuckle, numerous trees
and other under growth as well
as big and little rocks had to
be removed" Oscar Douglas
20. D. Dickerson explained.
And twenty-five tombstones
were put back in place."
Dickerson has also secured
permission from plot owners to
remove all the rock walls and
iron fences except one Of each.
He hopes the owners of those
plots will agree to have them
taken down soon.
Many of the people were hap
py to see it done. once they saw
how much better the place looks"
he said.
The church supplied the bull
Gozer and other equipment and
helpers for the project which
lady in brakes Branch, described
as a labor of love" on Mr..
Dickerson's part.
i gave them four years of
free labor" he related. "While
was clearing up the place, |
also did some work on the road
way"
The dirt road is now good
enough to be driven over by a
single car. Mr.. Dickerson is
still there to cut the grass once
a week. Even though he uses a
power mower it takes him II or
II hours to get around all the
grave markers. This task takes
two days as rule. The Presby-
terrain church and few plot
owners have paid him for this
service for the last year.
Il love my work. Mr.. Dick
erson stated. Its so peaceful
here"
The exconductor became in
terested in the cemetery shortly
after he left hartford, Conn. in
1858 after so years of railroad
ing. With his wife, the former
Miss Ann Bates Slayton, he
moved into the one-story brick
home ne owned in brakes Branch
about two blocks from sAthe
cemetery. His parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Dickerson, lifelong
residents of Charlotte County,
are buried there.
