he President of the United States was a fugitive, wander-
ing the country roads on horseback. Behind him, Washington was
burning . , . Baltimore was panic-stricken, knowing it was next. The
wealthier citizens buried their silver, hur-
ried their ladies into the back country... .”
Those lines aren’t from any imaginary
account of a possible future Martian in-
vasion. They’re from Neil H. Swanson’s
"The Perilous Fight,” and they describe
what was actually going on here in America
during the War of 1812.
"The Perilous Fight” is history, though
it reads like a novel. It deals with two en-
gagements which have been neglected in
most of our history books. The first was
the Battle of Bladensburg, when British
troops and ships defeated American militia,
occupied and burned part of Washington. The second was when they
made an unsuccessful attack on Baltimore.
The rout of Bladensburg v/as not due to
lack of courage of the militia, as some his-
torians state, says Mr. Swanson, but was
caused by conflicting orders from the top,
and the intrusion of politicians. And for
the victory at Baltimore, he gives credit
to a little-known war hero named Sam
Smith. He was a businessman by profes-
sion, and with the same shrewdness and
courage he used in his business, he organ-
ized the defenses, saved the city—and inci-
dentally made it possible for an elegant young man named Francis
Scott Key to write our national anthem.

Your C.B.S. Station
i '/■" (j—,
Erich Remarque, author of the Book-of-the-Month Club selection,
'Arch of Triumph,” had a varied career in depression-ridden Ger-
many in the years following the first
World War. He toured the country with
a "gypsy caravan.” He was a test driver
for a Berlin tire company. His first writ-
ing job, doing dramatic reviews, ended
when he was beaten up by a group of dis-
satisfied actors. But the job he remembers
with the least gusto was with a firm specializing in small-town war
memorials. “We plastered the whole landscape with imposing cast-iron
lions and columns topped by eagles spreading their wings,” he says.

MAN-MADE snow, that is, which makes it possible for South
Texas vegetables to reach northern and eastern markets in good
condition.
Tons of ice, crushed and blown like snow on fresh, green vege-
tables, protect the health-giving vitamins of perishable foods. With-
out ice, shipment of fresh food products to distant markets would
be practically impossible.
Shipping season in South Texas, from November to June, is a
busy time. CPL ice plants run at full blast twenty-four hours a day.
Thousands of carloads of fresh vegetables and fruits, protected by
ice, are started on their journey to markets all over the United
States.
From its 50 ice plants, strategically located throughout South
Texas, CPL supplies a great portion of the ice needed for these
refrigerator cars. And to meet the demands of a large and growing
food-producing area, CPL is expanding the capacity of several of
its ice plants.
More and more the production and shipment of fresh vegetables
and fruits is becoming increasingly important in South Texas. As
a part of the ice industry, CPL is helping to do a vital job in getting
these fresh food products to market. In addition, it is continuing to
render ice service to homes, hospitals and businesses—safeguarding
health in your community and in the nation.
