The South Weld Sun Page 2 <br />The History Of Refrigeration <br />It was last Friday, we were driving along on Hwy. 52 <br />and we met a fairly new ptckup being dnven carefully so as <br />not to turn over a refrigerator which was standing up m the <br />back box. Now comes the historical part. Eddie and I were <br />married in 1946. ~ We lived in a little service station house <br />between the RR tracks and Hwy. 6. Her folks lived in Ft. <br />Morgan and they had bought a new refrigerator and offered <br />us the old one. In those days ammonia was used as a <br />refrigerant and the smell would knock you over. I guess that <br />in moving it from the house it sprang or sprang a leak. <br />Ervin and Eileen Mitzel rode with Gus and Evelyn Krtzman <br />down to Ft. Morgan to help me load the refrigerator into <br />the .trunk of our 1936 Plymouth coupe. Well, they aced <br />ammonia to bring back prise fighters between rounds. Scott <br />Baker once stuck a bottle under my nose in chemistry class <br />and I'll tell you it is not perfume. So somehow Gus, Ervin <br />and I got the refrigerator m the trunk of the '36. Eryin was <br />going to ride with me. He did for about two blocks. "I God <br />I got to get outla here!" So I turned the windshield out in <br />front with the crank, you older folks will remember tilting <br />windshields, I rolled the window down and away I came for <br />home. 1 could drive because the air was moving through the <br />car and out the back. I drove in down by the garage and <br />Ervin and Gus helped me unload il. The next morning when <br />I went down to open up I was unlocking the front door <br />when a breeze blew ammonia gas around the corner, l threw <br />up right on the spot. <br />Father Sanger sold me a used refrigerator which had <br />a sealed unit. He sold it to me chewp. I was assured b~ <br />Burroughs and Ginther of Brighton that they could cut ~t <br />open and repair it. So Fred Bath loaned me his 41 Chew <br />pickup and I look it over to Brighton. They rewired it and <br />called me to come and get it. So I got Fred s pickup and we <br />loaded it and I came for home. About two miles east of <br />Brighloa I looked out the back window and that sucker was <br />leaning back and about to go over. I hit the brakes and it <br />came down kerbang which made me have to speedup. It was <br />back and forth for a block or so. When I got home I was <br />going to carry it in the little hottse. But how? I had Eddie <br />push it over onto my back and I carried it in. About half of <br />the way in it occurred to me that I didn't have anyway to let <br />it down. Suddenly the refrigerator got lighter, I d>dn't <br />question my luck, I just went on into the kitchen and sat it <br />down. 1 looked my benefactor in the eye. He was the <br />July 9, 1998 <br />Tennessee bet""ore Harry kidnapped her aed brought her out <br />here. Her family and fnends couldn't raise the Ftve Million <br />ransom and she just had to stay here. <br />I was out watering up my Jack's Bean Vines and I <br />thou>;ht I saw Billy Herold coming by in his electric chair on <br />wheels. But it wasn't him. This fellow's name is Charles <br />Foster. He said be used to be a dairyman over on 133 and <br />Huron. He lives at the Assisted Living here in town. He is a <br />nice man. After be left I got to wondering if Ben Ginther <br />might know him since Ben grew up in that neighborhood in <br />Eastlake and might have sold him some hap or something. <br />So I called Ginthers and got Barb, like Bazbara Ann Coan <br />in her childhood. She didn't recognize Charles but knew a <br />Chazley. She told me that Suzanne Mowery, Lany's wife, is <br />Charley Foster's daughter. I guess that is why be is living <br />here. By the way I saw Rika Sauter and she said Joho had <br />taken her out to the farm and they were combining John's <br />9 eaz old boy was wanting to run the combine. Like father <br />like son. liika was in fine spirits. <br />If time catches up with you and he generally does, <br />you could certainly,do worse than joining Mazk Gray and <br />his crew at the Gray Cara or Melvm and Geni Steckel at <br />Aladdin. I think it beats the tar out of leaving your friends <br />completely. <br />If i get to riding the bicycle again I'll keep them in <br />mind. <br />Merton and Faye Scott went to a Colorado Rockies <br />baseball game this past spring. Merton asked an usher how <br />he got his job and he introduced him and his good wife Faye <br />to the boss usher. Anyway, they are et oying their <br />retirement and part time fobs already, but i~ey took the <br />Rockies jobs on as a way to see free ball gawes and get paid <br />for it. Now they have been in on the All Staz ball game and <br />the home run contest.
