Here's how it works: The boat, deflated, is "stored in a special compartment in the wing. A switch on the hot- tom of the "plane, the instant it touches salt water, fires a car- "tridge which pierces a disk in a carbon dioxide flask and releases high pressure gas into the col- lapsed boat. The entering gas forces open the compartment cover, and in 1H to 20 seconds the lifeboat is bobbing on thé waves, The equipment that goes with the difeboat might have been - planned. by a trailer housewife: cans of water and concentrated A food; a special pistol with 40 to 60 waterproof cartridges; a tele- scopic 12-ounce aluminum to wave a flag from; a carrier pigeon in his own comfortable little container; and bellows, a whistle, a first aid kit, hand pad- dles, leak stoppers, a floating -c., toreh, a collapsible rubber bail- ing bucket, a sponge for mopping up operations, and, finally, a waterproof canopy for the crew to erect over their heads if it is raining.

Home-canned tomato juice is wonderful for just such occasions, "Deviled eggs also perk up the shoebox lunch, For dessert, nothing hits the spot quite as well as fresh fruit -- juicy oranges; yire cher- ries; sweet, juice-filled pears and apples. There must be a home- made cookie or two to go with it, too--for nibbling along the way. Everyone adores the crisp, crunchy cereal kind, especially when it is rich with peanut butter, as in this new recipe -for peanut butter, B(UAres. : 5 y Sandwich fillings are seldom made from written recipes. They are a blend of the cook's ingenuity and whatever her refrigerator holds.
