It is part of the government's general plan for bringing about better conditions ever the naticn at large and reduc ing the number of people on relief rolls.

Kew Freezer Progressing The writer visited the machine -slurps of the Stradley Brothers and tlu-rs viewed the new freezer now being completed for a party in Grand Ii-Iind. The new freezer, which is the creation of Ed Stradley was in operation at the time of our visit, and as soon as the finishing touches "an be put on it, it will be shipped out and work started on another one to go to a party at Beatrice. The censtruction of the machine requires a lot cf precision work and the blue prints, which were drawn by Mr. Stradley are closely followed. The new machines promise to revolution ize the ice cream industry and it is to the credit of Greenwood that one of her fellowcitizens was able to plan them and execute their construction right here at home. Some of the earlier machines have been in opera tion for months and are giving ex cellent satisfaction, while the new improved models may be expected to work even better. train brezeed through town on its way eastward shortly before the noon hour Saturday. The total distance to be covered was 1,017 milec and the railroad officials had set the estimat ed time for making the run at 900 minutes or less, based on an average speed of 70 miles an hour, which as you well know is "going some." At times the train .was running around 110 miles an hour, but of course had to slow down considerably at differ ent places along the route. Here at Greenwood, where a long stretch of very near straightaway is available and the track well ballast ed, some particularly fast speed was possible. The switches in the Green wood yards were all spiked and cars ,on the sidings were removed else where. No one was allowed on the platform and a space was roped off on the west side of the track to allow spectators to view the flight, and it was indeed a flight as it zipped past the Greenwood station like a silver streak, its stainless steel surface gleaming in the sunlight. Great preparation had been made for the non-stop run and all sidings were cleared of cars, while passenger trains were pocketed thirty minutes before the time set for passing of the Zephyr, in order that there might he no hitch in the plans. Several crews boarded the train when it left Denver to pilot it over different divisions of the road and large speed limit signs were displayed all along the right of way between Denver and Chicago, ranging from as low as 25 or 30 cn dangerous curves to as high as 115 to 125 on long stretches of well ballasted straight track. The Burlington officials had ar ranged with Mayor Henry Wilkins and the members of the town board here to see that everything was done to make the flight safe and no one was permitted near the track or to in any way interfere -with the pass ing cf the train. Councilmen E. L. McDonald, J. S. Gribble, N. D. Tal cott and George Bucknell were select ed to see that strict regulations were observed at all crossings and arrange for suitable guards. The section men had spiked the switches and had all their cars and equipment in the car houses, locked up. The passing of the train was an inspiring sight that will not soon be forgotten by those who paused from their daily duties to go and see it. It marks the realization of a dream of Burlington officials to create a train that would pass from one end of their great system to the ether in the time between dawn and the fall ing of the shades of eventime offer ing a challenge to aeroplane travel for speed and dependability.
