Couple Makes Port After Two Years 9 Sailing in Schooner from Australia By Imogene Long Dorothy and Edward Sanderson, who affectionately call each other Dory and Sandy, reached Morehead City and Capt. Bill Styron's Gull dock Tuesday afternoon after two years of travel. They left Brisbane. Australia two years ago this month in their 45-foot sail schooner, the j Sari Marais, to take a trip, destina tion unplanned, and decided to go to India. Africa and South,, Amer ica. Sandy, a native of Los Angeles, Cal., has lived in and around Au.v i tralia for 26 years but his wife is a native of Brisbane. He was Mrs. Sanderson's first and only beau and they have been happily married for seven years. Sandy says that a boat trip is a real test 3f whether you can stand your mate or not. If you can stay in such !lose quarters for two years and itill be on good terms, you can ast forever. Sandy was an excavating contrac or while in Australia and decided o sell all his equipment and pro >erty, burn all his bridges behind aim, and then buy either a house or j boat. He left it up to his wife and ihe, contrary to what most wo men would have done, I think, :hose the boat. The craft is very beautiful, made entirely of Australian hardwood. They have a deep freeze in which they stored enough meat to last a year. They hpve a refrigerator built into the wall, a sink, two bunk beds, a stove a supply room book cases and a wireless radio. When the Sandersons started out they had 800 tins of food, which by the way is so much cheaper down there that the can buy beef and butter for only 30 or 35 cents a pound. Dory, pho really likes her tea, took a few navigation lessons before they started on their jour ney, andlias done all the navigat ing for the trip. Sandy says he did n't help her one bit. She also works the wireless because he doesn't know the international code. You probably won't believe this, but after two years they still get awfully seasick every time they leave port and go on the high sea. They attribute this to the fact that while in port they eat many rich foods, something they aren't used to. After they are out awhile, their stomaches stop heaving. They never stop working when sea sick but Dory said if she were on land and felt that bad, she would pro bably go to the hospital. The Sandersons have traveled 24,000 miles in a roundabout course and would like very much to continue around the world but they have decided against it. They will go as far as New York before they stop and then find a place to settle down. Sandy says it's been all spending out and no putting in for the past two years and as bad as he hates the thought, he must find a job soon. He has no definite plans as 4o what kind of job he wants. The sail boat has a 13 foot beam, ? foot draft and carries 1,000 feet of canvas. It had a fuel capacity for 1,000 miles of cruising. It has such a lean in a high wind that they have traveled with the portholes on one side entirely under water. On the first leg of their journey they made seven stops in Australia as they were going around from the east coast. From there they stop ped at such places as Thursday Is land, Bait, Christmas island, Cocoa Keeling, Pedang, Malay, Kar Nico bar. (all these places are islands be tween Australia and India). They went then to Colombo, Coy Ion off the coast of India, over to I the Maidive Islands, Seychelles, Madagascar, then on to the coast of Africa. Inhambaae, which is in Portuguese East Africa, was their first stop, then Durban in South Africa, through the Cape of Hood Hope and on to Capetown. From there they proceeded north west and went up to the islands of St. Helena and Ascension. In South America they touched- at Natal. Brazil and French Guiana. Devil's Island, the prison, is located right off the coast there. The last part of their trip took them to Trinadad. Port, of Spain, through the Wind ward Islands, the Virgin Islands, i Miami and on up the coast of North America to Morehead City. During the two years they have | been on the water they've run into only two storms, one off Madagas car of two days duration and off the Cape of Good Hope they had a three-day storm. At the time of the latter storm they were towing a yacht, the Adios, and it broke away. The Adios, owned by Thomas Steele, capsized and was demasted. He fin ally drifted into port but had every one doubtful of his survivial. Both the Sari Marais and the Adios were reported missing and the sea was so rough that no assistance could be sent them. The yacht is now at Knysna for repairs and the owner got himself a job so he could pay for them. The Sandersons stopped over in South Africa for a few months and went up to the game reserves. It was a very interesting part of their trip and they have pictures to prove it. Among the animals they saw were baboons, elephants and giraf fes. The couple have scrapbooks and photo albums full of clear and most interesting pictures. Sandy told me of a trick some one played on King Kambli. They told him that President Truman in the United States would love to have an elephant. So the King pro ceeded to get a four year old ele phant and have it shipped last August. Unfortunately, (or maybe it was fortunate for the president) the animal died while traveling, be fore it reached Capetown. The King had sent an Indian Chinaman along to look after the animal and warned him that if any thing happened to it he would be killed. I imagine that was a worried man when the elephant died. For 6,800 miles they only steered six days, that's how well the boat stays on it's course. From Cape Town to Trinidad they could go to bed at night and sleep but Sandy says he sleeps like a cat. He caif open one eye, turn on the light and just glance toward the foot of his bed. He has a compass on top of the bookcase and a mirror over itr. So he just looks into the mirror to see if the boat is still on it's course! According to the Sanderson's the racial trouble in South Africa is only among the political leaders, not the people themselves. As to the conditions in other places they passed through, the trouble was mostly starvation. Food and sun plies were very hard to get and th>. prices were terribly high, especial ly in Brazil. In the Dutch East Indies the people were starving and the place was In chaos. None of the light houses were lit up and down the coast, no one was at the official jobs. Young Communists arc tak ing over the government, they re ported. The hardest thing they found about the trip was trying to relax. The longest trip they made was 20 days. Since reaching the states they get up early every morning and go window shopping. They only stay over for a couple of days in each place, just long enough to get sup plies and have laundry done. The thing Dory liked best about the states was nylons and she was amazed at the price of clothes here. She had never seen any priced so "TovT^Tter two years of going bare foot. it was rather hard to get shoes that felt good on their feet. Dory and Sandy will probably re turn to Australia some day but first ! they hope to make a home in ^he states.

Farmers Should Use kfra-Red Lamps with Care Millions of infra-red heat lamps, are now being used for brooding pigs and chickens. The popularity of this new method of electric brooding has been marred by an increasing number of fires and ac cidents. according to Edwin S. Coates, agricultural engineering specialist for State College Exten sion service. These lamps are often screwed into any Sf>cket or extension cord available. Frequently they are not suspended safely or protected from poultry and livestock or mechani cal injury. These hasty installa tions become costly with a fire or accident. The National Safety council rec ommends that circuits serving heat lamps be permanently installed and checked by a competent elec trical inspector. Limit circuit loads to 80 per cent of rated capacity oc about seven 250-watt lamps on a 20-ampere circuit and five 250 watt lamps on a 15- ampere circuit. Never use a larger fuse to permit the use of extra lamps. Heat lamps should be used only in a heat-resistant porcelain socket of the switchless type. Ordinary rubber,' plastic or brass receptacles deteriorate and develop hazards. The appliance cord insulation should also provide ample heat and moisture protection. Never suspend a lamp fixture from the cord. Hang it securely by chain, wire or bracket. Keep it out of the reach of poultry or livestock and at least 18 inches from straw, hay or combustible materials. Heat lamps should also be protected from moisture and mechanical injury by a guard with a solid-type top. OPS Answers Price Queries Q. Why did OPS allow roal sell ers to passion till' recent freight rate Increase? A. The 20-cents-pcr-ton increase, authorized by the Inter-State Com mcrce Commission was allowed be cause retail coal industry earnings were fot^nd to be too small to ab sorb any rate increase. , Q. What will the recent in crease allowed by OPS on certain canned fruits and vegetables cost the consumer? A. The small increase in mark ups, OPS estimates, will raise only slightly the retail prices of canned fruits and vegetables. The possible net increased earnings of whole salers, before taxes, will be about three-fourths of one per cent. Q. Are purchasers protected In any way if a motor car maker changes or eliminates part of his standard equipment that is part of the ceiling price? A. Automobile manufacturers must apply to OPS for new ceiling prices when direct labor and ma terials costs are reduced by more than $2.00 as a result of elimina tion of standard equipment. 4. How does OPS answer the people who urge decontrol of prices? A. In March, 1932 the Consumer Price Index was only one-half of one per cent below the highest level on record; it was 10 1-2 per cent above pre-Korea prices, and now is again rising. The rise is led by still higher food prices. On April IS, the Index of Prices paid by Farmers reached a new high.
