He Sniffs .the City for Trouble

By RICHARD MITTMAN FRANK (CY) HOLTZMEYER is a nosey character. He goes around sticking his| snout into manholes, sewers, gas! mains and gutters. Sometimes he even puts it into peoples’ homes. | But no one complains, { You see, Cy is head sniffer for Citizens Gas & Coke Co. They] pay him to smell out gas leaks! about the city. Cy puts his prolific proboscis to work in this way: } “I take a section of town and] begin walking up and down on al ‘street inspection. If I see some] dried, grass or a bubble in some | water, down on my knees I go| and start sniffing.” { If the odor is bad, he calls the| office and they send out a repair| crew,

| WHAT KIND of "a nose does it take to be a sniffer, you ask? Well, Cy’s nose is the same as anybody's. It jmay be a little fuller and slightly blunt at the end, but he sniffs just like you or| me. Now Cy has something we| don’t. He carries an extra “nose” around his shoulder, It is known as a Davis Indica-| tor. A long rubber tube extends io m the indicator box. He drops is into a manhole and squeezes) the rubber bulb. Gas is sucked into the box and measured for| intensity, Too much gas will cause the indicating needle to! point to “danger” or “explosion.”| When that happens Cy gets out| of there—to call the repair crew. Cy has been a sniffer seven Years. “They probably gave me! the job because I never get a cold,” he Geclared,

“ONE ME. 2 woman out east #ays what-are you sticking your hose in the ground for. Her hus-|. band says he must be rooting for| night crawlers.” Often housewives have called | police about a “drunk” laying in the gutter he said. Cy once was knocked out 6| hours by gas fumes. |

“We tunneled into a pressure Eisenhower was not calling for a

pipe the telephone people had |

eracked. All I can remember was|tries enslaved by Moscow should

drinking a_quart of milk a wom&n gave me,” he quipped.

While working on Morris St. | Eisenhower a ‘‘warmonger” and,

one day he smelled gas escaping | from a crack in the wall of a| house. The repair crew found the | entire pipe eaten away, but the family had smelled nothing. Cy’s sniffing days are about| over, Shortly after his 70th birthday in October, he'll take his| snout out of circulation and retire to his home at 1128 8. Bel-| mont St.

Iron Ore Stocks

Moving Fast

. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6 (UP) ~The nation’s transportation system has made a “significant| dent” in heaps of iron ore that couldn’t be moved from pits to| mills during the long steel strike. James K. Knudson, defense transport administrator, reported yesterday that record-high ship-| ments by Great Lake carriers) and assumption by railroads of] the “Herculean task” of mine-to-mill ore transportation have swiftly reduced the “millions of tons” immobilized during the, strike. But he tempered his optimistic report by cautioning that “no transportation system, even one | as vast and efficient as ours, can be expected to make up all of the lost tonnage. “Any final total of ore torinapel moved (this year) must be| hinged on that ever-present imponderable — the weather,” Mr. | Knudson said. “If freezing weath-| er holds off on the lakes until: December, the nation can be grateful.”

Four Cadets Killed MEAFORD, Ontario—Four ‘offi-| cer cadets from the Royal Ca-| nadian Armoured Corps School at Camp Borden were killed yesterday when an army truck careened off a highway and struck a tree.
