Over at the Vandergriff
Chevrolet Company plant this
week we noted that they were
fixing up a power plant on a
truck. This plant will have a
motor to generate electricity
and they will be able with this
machine to go right into a
field, or anywhere that a
piece of machinery is located
that is in need of an electric
welding job, and start their
machine, generate the electric
juice and do a job of electric
welding right there where the
machine is located. This will
obviate the necessity of mov-
ing heavy machinery at times
and certainly be filling a long
felt need in the way of an
electric welding plant.

amount on the farm of a
neighbor. There were lots of
fence posts also consumed.

Austin, Texas, Aug. 3—Ice
cream consumption in Texas
continues to boom, reports on
dairy products to The Univer-
sity of Texas Bureau of Busi-
ness Research showed today.
Production of ice cream dur.

Other dairy products-but-

The Athletic Council of and
for the Carrollton schools had
a watermelon cutting out at
Crystal Lake Wednesday
night. Prospective football
players and their dads and the
Council and a few other in-
vited guests were present to
get acquainted, have a social
time, listen to some plans and
some healthy and sound advico
from the coach and others in
terested in the football squad
and athletics in general, and
then to devour some really
cold watermelons. It was all
done in ship shape style, and
we will have more to say on
this particular matter at a
later date.
One of the first things done
by Frank Thweatt when he
bot the ice business here was
to install a refrigeration sys-
tem at the ice house which
keeps the place cool and
vents the rapid melting of the
stored ice. He can now carry
a large supply of ice and not
lose a lot of it by melting before
it is sold and delivered. And
it also makes it nicer to care
for melons. He keeps a supply
of chilled melons on hand at
all times.
With the removal of the gin
machinery from the gin plant
at Farmers Branch there will
most likely be a large portion
of the cotton from that terri-
tory come to Carrollton gin to
be ginned. Both gins are the
piopertyof the North Texa*
Gin Company.
