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scan the outdated papers brought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."

NEW OLDSMOBILES
DISPLAYED TODAY
Dudley Motor Co. 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.
