Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated September 7, 1955 reads "There wasn't much point to the gag of placing a 100 pound block of ice on the sidewalk in front of the Valley Times office, but the hot weather stunt did give folks something cool to talk about. Here Carolyn Carlisle, 1, pokes curious finger at ice as father Lloyd J. Carlisle stands by." Employees at the Valley Times office in North Hollywood asked the public to guess how long it would take for the ice to melt. The block lasted nine hours.; See images #00143288 through #00143289 for all photos in this series.
