(UP) A man turns a valve and mills a switch, and snow falls in the Catskill Mountains, when na ture fails to provide the white stuff essential to skiers - and tob- ozcanists. Ray Parker," general manager of the Concord Hotel, was aDie to announce recently that "we have ,14 inches of snow." There was none elsewhere in the vicinity. Responsible for this assist to nature is Frank Eck, 42, of Ellen ville, N. Y., who designed and in stalled the snow-making appara tus at the year-round resort hos telry. Head greenskeeper in the sum mer, Eck creates snow whenever the temperature hits 32 degrees or lower. The machine looks like a lawn sprayer and is simple to operate. Electric, and gasoline motors pump water and compressed air simultaneously through 14 lateral pipes, 63 feet long and 30 apart On each lateral there are four "box-heads" in which the pipes converge. ' The mixture is shot j intothe frigid air through jets, and it freezes into snow. The crystals can be made fine or course de pending on the ratio of air to wa ter. , - This machine can lay more than a foot of snow over an area of four and one-half acres in 12 hours.
