[C38] Ice Box

[Joseph Launie]

Steve,
    We have found that the secret with ice boxes is to have some block 
ice and some dry ice. You carefully wrap the dry ice and put it on top 
of the block ice. It will keep it an extra day or two. Be careful not to 
touch the dry ice with bare hands because you can get a bad burn. You 
can get it at most ice houses. In an ice box, things do not stay frozen 
very long, even with the dry ice.  Joe Launie, Macavity, Commodore
