around wearing 10 thumbs,
maybe 12.
1 just was not born to be a
wrapper.
. This.cute little leaflet- starts
out on how to wrap a box. -
firsT on comes the rectaneu-
lar wrap., The rules say you are
supposed to ."estimate the amount
n paper needed, arid allow at
least half an inch, overlap on
th back and sides."
In my circle that runs into
calculus. Something that left me
wanting in credits in Higher
learning.
r'rom;there, after allowing for
overtop, the thing to do is to
"center the design on the box,
bring the paper around and se--1
cure on the back, paste and
seal."
Simple as that. But try it!

of Commarce recently released
its 1954 figures n who grows
the most of what kind of vege
tables anil where.
, Of tthe lt)0 leading vegetable
counties in the United States, 21
were in California, 12 in Florida,
nd 3eiht each in New York,
Texas and Wisconsin.
Top grower of vegetables - of
11 kinds in both acreage and
value, of the produce sold-, was
Monterey "courjty, Calif. That
county produced 533.000,000
worth of vegetables in 1954.
Seconder, acreage planted in
vegetables was Hidalgo county,
Texas, with 98,W)0 acres. Some
27,000 acres of this total were
planted in tociatoes, giving the
county the lead in tomato pro
duction. About 5,000 acres were
in cabbage, making it the second
largest cabbage-producing coun
ty. r-
The lefng cabbage county
was Cameron,, county, Texas.
Btore ctan 7,090 acres of cab
bage were planted there.
Palm Beach county, Fla., was
: the leading county in sweet corn
acreage' in 1954, with 17.352

Ship Sunk 118
Years Ago Found
Alexandria Bay, N. Y. (U.R1
Two skindivers.have discovered
the sunken hulk of what is be
lieved to be a British steamer
sunk by 22 Americans 118 years
ago.
The ship is believed to be the
Sir Robert -Peel. The hulk was
found in about 100 feet of water
in the St. Lawrence river. The
craft was boarded by men dis
guised as Indians May 29, 1838
and sunk in retaliation for the
sinking of the American ship
Carolie. five month earlier.
It was believed the raiding
party was led by a William John
ston who wanted to use the Sir
Robert Peel for an invasion of
Canada.
The skindivers. Robert Evans
Jr., and Bernie Forth, Syracuse
University students, said the
160-foot vessel appears to be
partially burned but anchors
and other equipment are intact.

Fresh Water
Low Cost Creates Problem
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Cheap,
fresh water from the salty ocean
with the emphasis on the word
cheap.
That's the longtime dream
that scientists believe may be
come reality within the next few
years.
"Taking the salt out of ocean
water is no problem,"' explained
Prof. Everett Howe of the Uni
versity of California.
"What we're looking for is a
way of making salt water fresh
cheaply enough so that the farm
er can buy it for large-scale irri
gation." Howe, head of UC's mechani
cal division, has been experi
menting with various distilling
methods since 1952. When he
started, the cost for distilling
water was a prohibitive S475 per
acre-foot. Today, it's a little
more than than S100, or about
30 cents for 1,000 gallons.
"Our goal is S40 an acre-foot,"
Howe said, "but first we have
to have a full plant in operation
for several years to work out
practical problems of cost-cutting."
Tha Method
As Howe pointed out, distilling
sea water is really no trick. The
island city of Curacao in the Ca
ribbean distills two million gal
lons daily. But it costs S3 a
thousand gallons compared to
Howe's 30 cents a thousand.
Howe's estimate of S100 an
acre-foot is based mainly on the
use of a special method called
"low temperature difference."
"It's one of the most promis
ing processes we've found, prin
cipally because it requires no
outside fuel or power," Howe
stated.
He explained the process de
pends on having water at two
different temperatures. Ocean
water- is perfect in this case
since the surface may be as much
as 30 degrees warmer than deep
sea water.
Here's how the method works:
1. The surface water enters a
chamber at low temperature
where it cools a few degrees. In
coding, the water , gives off
heated vapor. The vapor is pure
water, completely free of salt.
2. The vapor is sucked out of
the evaporator by a vacuum into
a condensing chamber where the
vapor is cooled by deep sea
water. The vapor returns to its
water state and is piped off.
Not Too Far Off
This means that for every
1,000 pounds of water cooled 10
degrees, 10 pounds of pure water
is recovered, Howe said.
Wrhat power is used to run the
plant?
Between the cooling chamber
and the condensing chamber
there is a steam turbine. As the
heated vapor is sucked off into

Can you find the "guarantee"
in this picture?
Yon buy a refrigerator only two or three times
in your lifetime.
Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without
getting so much as a look at the intricate "works"
that makes it run.
How do you dare make such an important
purchase without having an expert check it over
for you? What makes you so sure you're getting
your money's worth when you say, "I'll take
that one"?
The answer's obvious. You look for the brand
name on the refrigerator your "guarantee."
You've learned to follow this first rule of safe
and sound buying:
A good brand is your best guarantee
No matter what kind of product you want to
From Ocean at
the condensing chamber, it turns
the turbine which provides the
power to operate the rest of the
plant.
"We're not thinking about
turning the Great Salt Lake des
ert into a garden or anything
like that," Howe explained.
"But we think we're on the
right track of solving some of the
western states' critical water
shortage and soon!"
How soon?
"That all depends on when we
can get a pilot plant going. All
I can say is that it's not a mat
ter of 20. years.' Maybe not even
10."
