Universal Newsreel Volume 21, Release 113 Part LOCAL(CAN)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. COLD WAVE GRIPS EAST: NEW YORK - The long cold spell which covered the nation brings hardships to home-owners along the upper Hudson River. Fuel barges are held back by the ice, so the Coast Guard cutter "Eastwind" battles the thick floes to open up a passage. 2. LEAP-FROG BARGE TESTED: CALIFORNIA - A barge that "walks" ashore and across land with a novel "leap-frog" motion, is demonstrated by Navy engineers. The amazing craft, made of three pontoons, can carry a 60-ton load. 3A/B/C. ST. BERNARDS BY THE SCORE: NEW YORK - Twenty-six St. Bernard pups, born of three mamas all on the same day, is something of a record. They keep their mistress busy. Twenty-six wagging tails and 26 very hungry mouths! / FIREPROOF DOOR TESTED: SOUTH RIVER, NJ - A new-type door, insulated with a new material, resists a one-hour blaze in a demonstration. An ordinary door burns through quickly, while the war-tested door withstands the flames. / FAMILY OF 9 IN FIREHOUSE: ISLAND PARK, L.I. - A family of nine, provided temporary shelter after their home burned down, is still there after 90 days, and the firemen haven't had a "social" since. But the youngsters love it! 4. "DOUBLE LIFE" FASHIONS: NEW YORK - The combination of new all-wool styles for Milady and attractive models with pretty smiles proves eye-filling and sigh-provoking. They're inspired by "A Double Life," starring Ronald Colman. 5. SKI JUMPERS TAKE OFF: DUBUQUE, IA - The Longview Ski Club's mid-winter ski jumping classic provides plenty of excitement and spills for the spectators, along with a pretty Snow-queen and her maidens. Art Tokle and Arne Ulland, both of Norway, tie with leaps of 192 feet. (LOCAL – CANADA) COLLEGIATE SKI CHAMPS.
