The Rolling Stones9 By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter ' Hello everybody: another yarn from a CCC camp. By golly, it looks to me like those camps are swell places to go adventuring. Weve had a flock of yarns in this column from members of the CCC army and all of them good ones, too. This one comes from John Martocci of Brooklyn, N. Y. John went out to Camp near Brigham, Utah, and it was there that he ran into the big adventure of his life the adventure of the rolling stones. It was one cold morning in November, 1934, that John got up 4, out of the hay to find a notice on the bulletin board. The notice called for volunteers to carry water pipes to a stub camp about 16 miles away, and John and his buddy. Bob Greene, signed up to do the work. Long, Hard Trip Around the Mountain. The foreman told them hed give them two days off for doing the job, but before they got through with it, they wished theyd held out for a weeks leave and a couple of bottles of horse liniment in the bargain. They were given two lengths of water pipe to carry, one on each shoulder, and brother, those pipes were tough to handle. The boys were all in before theyd gone 8 of the 16 miles along the trail that wound around the side of the mountain. It took them seven hours to make the entire trip and then they were confronted with the long hike back again. It was late afternoon when they started back, and they had gone only five miles when the dusk began to shut down on them. They were afraid theyd lose the trail if they didnt get home before nightfall, so Bob suggested tha, instead of going all the way around the mountain, they climb over it. It might have been a good idea in the theory, but those two lads just didnt have any conception of how big a mountain can be. Especially one of those Rocky mountains like they have out in Utah. 10-fo- only looked like a mile or two across the mountain, so the two lads started to climb. They had only gone a quarter of a mile up the mountain when it started to rain. The skies began to get blacker, and Boulders bounced off the rock above them. it became harder and harder to see where they were going. But by that time it was too late to turn back, for they would never have found the trail again. So they kept right on going. They climbed for two straight hours, while the gray dusk deepened into night. The mountain got so steep that they couldnt stop to rest just had to keep on climbing or roll down to the bottom' again. Then, in a flash of lightning, they saw a pile of boulders up ahead of them. Those rocks, says John, were as big as cows. One of them was cort of square, with a fiat top, and stuck out over the side of the slope. I thought that if we could get on top of it we could get some rest. I grabbed for the top of the rock, but my hands slipped off it. I yelled to Bob to give me a boost, and he did. It was then that the fireworks started. And boy, those fireworks sure did start. As best I can recall, says John, I felt something tugging at my feet and heard a noise that sounded like the beating of a drum. I yelled to my pal, Bob! Bob! where are you? And then I heard him answer: Im right here at your feet. For Gods sake let go of that rock and lie down under it. Its a landslide I let go, wondering if I was going to roll all the way down the mountain, but Bob made a grab and held me. We were no sooner under cover than the big boulders up above us began to move. Seemed Like the End of the World. John says he cant describe what took place after that, but he thought the world was coming to an end. A couple of boulders, he says, that must have weighed a ton apiece bounced right off the one we were under. I could hear the crackling and falling of trees down below when those big rocks hit them, and every time one of those big babies bounced off the rock above us, we wondered if our rock was going to hold, or if it was going to crash down on top of us. Boy, was I scared. For hours those two lads hung there or at least it seemed hours to them and then things began to quiet down again. The slides ceased the rain stopped. They clambered over the top of, their rock and headed up the mountain again, but they didnt get very far. For dead ahead, and about 300 feet above, the mountain shot straight up in a tall, smoothsided cliff. It was as high as an ocean liner, says John, and we couldnt have climbed up it any more than we could fly. We didnt dare go back down the mountain, either, for fear wed get lost, or caught in another one of those landslides. So we went rock and waited for morning. back to our When morning came, they heard shots. They yelled, and a gang of their own CCC pals came to their rescue. The lads had been missed, and the whole camp was out looking for them. They were taken back to And instead of camp, exhausted, and sick as dogs, as John puts it. we he week in a leave two in bed at town, says, spent days getting camp, nursing colds and getting over our exhaustion. flat-topp- ed Copyright.

Though milk is not as good a source of iron as of calcium and phosphorus, the iron is present and in a form that can be easily utilized by the body. y Milk for Vitamins Milk is so rich in vitamins A and G, that the addition of a quart of milk daily to a good mixed diet practically guarantees against a deficiency of either of these precious substances which promote growth, help build resistance to disease, prolong the prime of life, and help to ward off old age. It also furnishes a considerable amount of vitamin B, which promotes appetite, aids digestion and helps to prevent a nervous disorder. Milk contains a relatively small amount of vitamin D, but this can be remedied in both bottled and evaporated milk by irradiation, or the addition of a vitamin D concentrate. It is less dependable as a source of vitamin C than any other vitamin, as the amount it naturally contains varies with the diet of the cow and is reduced by pasteurization or evaporation. This deficiency is easily made good, however, by adding to the diet fresh fruits and fruit juices and raw leafy vegetables. LTJJ .

Answering your question as to what constitutes the most satisfactory supper for young children, it has been dem- onstrated that children sleep far more soundly after an evening meal composed of cereal and milk, with a light dairy dessert, than following a meal of heavier foods.

Fruits may be used as freely as desired, provided thorough mastication is possible and fermentation or other digestive disturbance does not develop. Otherwise, they should be used sparingly, either cooked or in the form of juice. ; Some form of vitamin C should be included in every diet, but thi can be supplied by a small amount of orange juice.
