...Angeles is the home of perhaps the most extraordinary factory feeder: the Anderson Boarding & Supply Co., which calls itself "the biggest subsistence contractor in the world." It serves some 40,000 meals a day from Salton Sea (246 ft. below sea level) to Climax, Colo. (11,320 ft. above) and in many cases houses them too (total cost: $1.75 a day; $1.50 for meals, 25? for rooms). Founded by railroad-camp Flunky William Lancelot ("Billy") Anderson 30 years ago (when he was the first Westerner to provide fresh sheets and milk to camp workers...
...bases, U.S. Gypsum, Phelps Dodge's huge new Morenci mine, Climax Molybdenum, etc. She has even operated entire industrial towns (movies, pool halls, filling stations, etc.), last year ran two camps in the Bahamas for Paramount, is now setting up a new camp at Mecca, on the Salton Sea, for the same company's new film, So Proudly We Hail. One of her many headaches: when Anderson bakers are sent from California's Imperial Valley up to Climax, they have to change their habits all around because high altitudes affect the baking...
...from Below. The gas that whishes up, at 230 lb.-per-sq.-in. pressure, from wells in southern California's Salton Sea basin, is carbon dioxide, more than 99% pure and free of malodorous hydrogen sulphide. There is probably enough of this CO 2 under the basin to make a million tons of the popular, efficient refrigerant known as "dry-ice." Geologists believe that the supply is continuously renewed by subterranean chemical action. Owing to the high initial pressure, the manufacturing cost should not be more than $10 per ton as against a prevailing selling price...
Harvard's third line started the second period with Hale replacing deGive at goal. In less than two minutes, Salton stall accounted for the Crimson's third score on a rebound from Pell. After the first line had returned to the game, Wood duplicated his first period play and added another goal to the total. Late in the period, Thomson and Hrones broke through the Harvard defense to push the puck past Hale for the only M. I. T. score. Two minutes later Baldwin took a pass from Putnam and tallied the last goal of the period. The third period...
Returning to his original seat in the first University shell, Robert Salton-stall '33 was again seen rowing behind Cassedy yesterday, after a two-day lapse in which W. L. Thompson '32 occupied the number seven position. His absence from the stern combination which has seen two seasons of rowing has been difficult to understand, while his contribution to the power and spirit of the University eight has been felt during his short sojourn on the third boat...
