Distaff: Deeds USE FOR COTTON PLANT! Production of cotton In Orange County Is almost nil. However. Mrs. Betty Jones of Terrell's Creek Community near Chapel Hill, raises a few rows of cotton to use in flo . ral decorations and other handi craft designs. According to S.N.

AIDES PLAY SANTA Wayne County Nutrition aides helped "Santa" deliver food to newly families at Christmas. The real Santas were members of the Officers' Wives Club at Seymour Johnson Air Force 3ase. the improvised sleigh was a military truck and the cargo was 15 baskets of food. This project spelled "hap piness" for a large number of persons, Mrs. Evelyn Raper, home exonomics Extension agent, believes. Mrs. Lincoln Hill, chairman of the project said, "We had no idea of the dire need so near us. We are grateful for the chance to help. The aides also felt satisfact ion. "Although we remained in the background." they said, "the joy on the children's fa ces when the candy canes were passed out brought tears to our eyes."

Icebergs One Day May Augment World's Supply Of Fresh Water Cities of the future may to. in an iceberg to help solve water shortages. For decades, menhave sought to tap the abundant water locked in the polar icecaps. Antarcti ca alone holds about 80 per cent of the Earth's flesh water in its frozen grip. More than a century ago. ships fromSan Francisco sailed to Alaska to bring back lake ice. But in 1853. when mild weather slowed the freezing of lakes, glacier ice proved a satisfactory substitute, the Na tional Geographic Society says. Oceanographers Ttave sug gested that icebergs could be towed to the West Coast to fur nish water for Southern Cali fornia's desert. Two United States scientists recently estimated that if an iceberg 250 yards thick and 2.700 yards across were towed to Australia, it would provide 207 billion gallons of water even though 70 percent of the iceberg would melt during the trip. Dr. William Campbell, of the Department of the Interior's Geological Survey, and Dr. Wil ford Weeks of the Army's Cold Regions Research and En gineering Laboratory, con cluded that a sea-going tug could make the voyage for less than $1 million. The fresh water obtained from the iceberg would be worth about $5.5 mil lion. This would be less than a tenth of the cost for an equi valent amount of desalted sea wate r. The scientists had in mind tabular, or flat-surfaced Ice bergs that form when the con tinental Ice shelf covering An tarctica is eroded by the pres sure of tides, storms, snow falls. and even earthquakes. For example, ice formation thrusts the 160.000 - square mile Ross Ice Shelf seaward as much as four feet in a day.

In 1956 the Navy Icebreaker Glacier skirted a tabular Ice berg 208 miles long, 60 miles wide and about 1.000 feet thick. The 12.000-square-mile mass nearly equaled Connecticut and Massachusetts combined. Icebergs found In the Arc tic usually are mountainous ra ther than tabular, and frequent ly assume fanciful shapes. These floating castles and cathedrals sometimes become top-heavy as they melt. A ship attempting to tow one would risk being crushed if the ice berg capsized. As many as 20.000 Arctic Icebergs can form In a single year, primarily from glaciers pushing into the sea. Where the seabed drops away sharply from the land, the sea eats into the overhanging ice until it breaks off as an iceberg. Winston Churchill suggested towing icebergs in World War II, but not for water. A Bri tish historian quotes him: "Let us cut a large chunk of ice from the Arctic ice cap and tow it down past Corn wall. fly on our aircraft and tow it to the point of attack."
