- PAGE TWO THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND. OREGON. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21. IMS TRIO ISOLATED CLOSE TO CITY Brothers Live on Crib . Far Out in Lake Cleveland Water Intake Is Visited by Few in Course of Year Cleveland lUl The Holzworth brothers live only five miles from the renter of this bustling city of a mil lion and in view of its full sweep, but are isolated almost completely from the contaets and excitements of met ropolitan life. The brothers Harrv. Art. and Eddie live lonesomely upon the "crib which perches atop the intake of the city's water srstcm in Lake Eric. Each "gets to town" seldom oftener than once every six months. Their only companions are a flock of -chickens, numerous flies and spiders, and a radio. As their only duties are to turn on the. beacon at night, sound the fog horn when the weather is thick, and in general keep ships from hitting the crib, the brothers have much time on their hands. They read de tective stories, play cribbage, and scan the outdated papers brought them by the harbor boat, visiting them twice a month with supplies. Living quarters for the brothers are soveral large, bam-like rooms. They have .an old-fashioned stove in the kitchen and an electric refrigerator. "Not that we would object to an old fashioned ice box," Eddie said, swat ting a fly on his shirtless back, "but the iceman just docsnt come out this way." On the wall of the room where the nightly cribbage game is played, the brothers have hung a picture of the late Jean Harlow, a tinted picture of St. Cecilia, a photograph of the Dionne quintuplets. Tending the crib is a family tradi tion .with the Holz worths. Their fa--ther-kept the beacon burning and the fog horn sounding its warning for fifteen years. When he died. Art came ,' oul to the crib to carry on. Then Harry joined his brother in 1917, and Eddie started in 1929. I The big yearly event for the broth ers is Christmas, for it is then that their long isolation ends, and they come to the mainland for a big Christmas dinner. For a few months until the shipping starts and the big ore boats move again toward Lake Superior they remain ashore. Only one Christinas have they missed. That was in 1928, when a gale made it impossible for the tug to ormg tnom ashore lor turkey and presents. Tho waves, whipped by a strong winter norinweslor, broke over the 60-foot structure, coating it with ice. Tho crib, to most Cicvelanders, is just a squat, orange-colored structure on the northern horizon. They judge the visibility by it, but most of them have little knowledge of its uuruose or inhabitants. But we do get some visitors." Harry said. " Some of 'em are just curious, and a few yachtsmen sail out their boats. And everv so often a swimmer, with a boat, comes out, to see whether he can go the distance to shore. But mostly there's just Eddie, Art and 1 and the chickens and spiders, of course." When Christmas comes around again, the brothers will pack up and go -ashore as usual, back to the city, bright lights, shows, and people. ' And what are their plans for the few months among the glittering at tractions of urban life? "We'll rtlay some cribbage. I guess." Eddie said. "And maybe listen to the radio."

Offers Models for 1938 Although formerly chief of the French military mission to Czechoslovakia. 64-year-old Brigadier General Louis Eugene Faucher. above, resigni-d his post and placed himself at the dispo sal of the Czech army because he was reportedly '"ashamed" of the part France played in making the Czechs cede Sudetenland to Germany. Three smart new Oldsmohilea for 1939. two sixes and an eight, were placed on display today. In Bend the new cars are being shown by the Dudrey Motor company. Among the high points of interest in the cars with which Oldsmobile starts its 42nd model year are: 1 Addition to the line of a brand-new six cylinder car which brings Oldsmobile quality to the low price field. i Introduction on all models of the "rhythmic ride." a new perfection of loadubility and riding comfort re sulting from quadri-coil springing in combination with four seuarate stabilizing factors built into the chassis. 3 Attainment of perfect steerini! geometry through a -new hook-up employing relay link with twin tie-rods of equal length, termed dual center-control steering. 4 Introduction of handi-shift as standard eauipment a renlacement ef the conventional gear shift lever by a short, horizontal manual shift arm on the steermg column. 5 Continuation as an onlional ex tra on all models of Oldsmobiie's automatic safety transmission which provides important added advantages in periormance. operating economy and ease of control. The low priced six. known as the series sixty, is powered with a newlv developed 'econo-master" engine of w DraKe horsepower designed to provide top flight performance at minimum operating cost. A lurser six, developing as horsepower and with a whealbase of 120 inches, is designated the series seventy, while me jiu Horsepower straight eight on the same wheelbase has been named the scries eighty. All three series bear a eeneral re- smblance in the graceful treatment of flaring, low-valanced fenders, smortly tailored metal trim, smooth ly contoured all-steel turret Iod bodies and safety steel wheels with massive chromed hub cans. The front end of the hood curves downward to meet the narrow, die-cast radiator grille, creating a fleet, close-to-the-road impression and affording the driver a marked advantage in fore ground visibility. The aprons on tithcr side of the radiator grille enr- ry low, bullet type lieadlampo, re ceded above horizontal chrome louver which provide additional air inlets for efficient engine cooling1. U. S. Produces Fourth of World's Oranges Berkeley, Oil. til1" Out of a total world production of 2O0.O0U.U00 boxes of oranges annually, the United States is now producing slightly more than one-fourth of this amount, a survey uf tho orange industry by the Uni versity of California reveals. Oranges, it is pointed out, are pro duced on all five of the continents but because of climatic requirements, their growth is restricted to the tropi cal, semi-tropical and sub-tropical countries. Approximately 97 per cent of the more thun 50.000.000 boxes produced annually in the United States are horn Calilonim und rlorida. the for mer producing 62 per cent ol the total and the latter 3i per cent. Texas. Arizona, Louisiana. Alabama unit Mississippi are the other orange pro ducing slates. In California, oranges are produced on approximately 40.000 farms, com-! prising 238.000 acres of orange trees'! in more man JU counties. The survey said that consumption of oranges ill the United States has increased steadily with the rise in production. During the decade fol lowing 1925 the consumption in creased from 19 to 26 pounds per capita. On the other hand, the consump tion of other fresh fruits decreased on a per copita basis. Apples, especially, appear to be losing ground to oranges, the survey said.
