Christmas 1953

Strange Cargo in Harbor- the huge steel jacket of the Buzzards Bay offshore light tower is towed on pontoons down Boston Harbor enroute to its location at entrance to Buzzards Bay. It will take about 14 hours to tow the jacket via the Cape Cod Canal to the site of operation. The finished tower will have steel legs driven down 261 feet below the ocean's floor to bed rock and the top of the finished tower will be 170 feet above sea level.

Des Moines - Big Brush-Off - Motorists throughout Iowa had the task today of cleaning off cars which had been left outside over night. The Des Moines had five inches of snow, and some other areas had more than that. But for most of the motorists their problem was nothing compared to that of George Starks of Des Moines, whose job it became to clear the snow from 70 cars in a used car lot. He's shown working at the job.
