HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1959-10-15, Page 7An Arrival At The South Porte , It was time to get airborne? 1+'rom Liv we started to climb as we passed through One of tine,`, world's most awe - inspirin`R` , sights, the Beardmore Glacier, I think I can say that in all my travels, I have never seen a sight that stunned Me so much with its sheer beauty.. Underneath, as We ()limbed, the glacier twisted and turned liked a broad, majestic river, flanked on either side by great ranges and peaks, The ice was sometimes so blue I was tempt- ed to believe that indeed it was a river, At times it was narrow, at others, thirty miles across, The peaks above it were brown, white and blue, Tributary glaci- err from the Polar Cap came in like veins of a leaf, all moving relentlessly down towards the Ross Sea, where for time beyond count these great ice rivers have flooded into the sea and so form- ed the Ice Shelf. Gus took the Old Charger round the corners as though piloting a ship, but soon the weather started to change. As we climbed to the top of the glacier, heavy cloud blotted ev- erything out. Only our radar, with its yellow blabbing finger, warned us of neighboring peaks, The winds increased, for ice is not the only thing that flows down the Beardmore and its neighboring ice canyons, The cold, heavy air from the Poiar plateau always thrusts and seeks its way downwards, and so is channelled into the natural chasms of the glaciers.. . By the time we reached the top of the Beardmore, at 12,000 feet, it 'vegan to get very cold. Even my mukluks couldn't keep my feet warm. Below we could see nothing, except an occasion- al glimpse of the snow and ice. but even then I was never cer- tain whether it was snow or cloud. When we,,,reached the Pole, I saw :it for 'a second, marked by a circle of old oil drums, then it vanished. It didn't look more than a hundred feet below us. (Actually Gus was . flying 200 feet above ground level.) Then a whiteout came clown. I saw the Pole station, the black smudge of half -buried huts, then that vanished too. It took Gus Shinn three tries to land the Old Charger because more than any other air station in 'Antarc- tica, he had to be desperately careful at the Pole to land on the actual airstrip. There was nobody to help him. The Pole station did not have any experienced ground -to - air staff capable of leading a plane in. Gus was on his own. We circled round at low altitude and then carne down. And this time we made it, and the Old Charger landed as comfortably as a Britannia at London airport. A few moments later I wrenched open the aircraft door and jump- ed out and I was at the Pole.— From "The White Desert," by Noel Barber. HOW Can 1? By Anne Ashley Q. How can T remedy white woolens that have begun to turn yellowish? A. Use three ounces of per- oxide to two gallons of water in washing them, and then dry them in direct sunlight. Q. How can I keep a tin roof In good condition? A. Always repaint a tin roof at the first sign of peeling; other- wise, deterioration will set in and cause rapid rusting, conse- quent leaks, and eventually the necessity for a new roof. Q. What is a filter I can use for wide cracks between softwood floorboards? A. You can make a filler from sawdust and glue. After filling the cracks with this, fresh saw- dust is sprinkled over the filling. When dry, the top is sanded off, and stained to match the floor- boards, Q. How can I, when preparing a chicken, make the feathers come out more easily? ' A. When scalding the chicken, add a teaspoon• of soda tc the boiling water. The feathers will be easier to pluck, and the flesh is left White and clean. Q. How can I get rid of ,silver fish? A. If the cupboard is infested with these insects it isbecause there is some dampness attract- ing them. Sprinkle some borax around liberally to frighten them away.

Bus service is slowed to a crawl. An empty taxi cruises by a bus stop crowd- ed with people. A man jumps out and hails the taxi: The cab- bie speeds on, a tiny senile curl- ing his lips. Why? In the current issue of The American Journal of Sociology, Dr. Fred Davis offers an'explana- tion. Davis, who drove a hack himself while a student at the University of Chicago, says that to the cabbie that man at the bus stop is probably a "public - transportation type," a person who rides taxis only when it rains and does not deserve con- sideration. 'Like many of his colleagues who can turn a fable into a foible, sociologist Davis serious- ly explored "the random, fleet- ing, and unrenewable relation- ship" between the cabbie and his passenger for new knowledge in the endlessly fascinating field of human behavior. "Ever since I collected my last tip, I've want- ed to do a sociological study of my experiences as a cabbie," said Davis, who is now studying the problems of handicapped children for the National Inti- tutes of IJealth. Davis's first conclusion: The driver, when engaged with a fare, is conccious of little more than the size of his prospective tip. As a result, the hackies Davis analyzed put each customer into precise categories. Among them: The Stiff; Purely and" simply, someone who doesn't tip. The Sport: "His tips are gen- erous and even on very short rides he will seldom tip less than a quarter." The Lady Shopper: "Her pre- fel'red coin is a dime, no more or less." The Blowhard: "A false Sport . Often holding out the prom- ise of much by way of tip, he seldom lives up to his words," 'Davis insists that his study of cabbies and their fares has a use- ful purpose. "The only thing that matters to the cabbie is ma- terial gain," comments Davis. Lightning Causes A "Striptease" Stressing the energy of a lightning flash, a scientist cal- culated that it had the driving power of a 200 -ton train thun- dering along at a speed of fifty miles an hour, Each summer science sheds new light on lightning in many parts of the world, There is no basis for the popular saying, that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, It often does. In just over a year a Leices- tershire inn was twice struck •by lightning, The Empire State building in New York City is hit by lightning at least twenty times a year. Friends of a golfer who was struck on the fairway of a New Jersey course, were amazed as well as grief-stricken, Exactly twenty-five years earlier the same man had narrowly -missed being killed by lightning at the same spot on that fairway, According to a man who studi- ed thunderstorms for many years, there are 44,000 every day of every year or 1,800 every hour. Each thunderstorm yields about 200 flashes of lightning an hour so that 1,800 storms give 360,000 flashes over the whole globe, he said. This means that every sec- ond of bine throughout the year 100 lightning flashes are taking place somewhere. The day is coining when lightning will be "collected" and used to produce power and to light our homes, predicted Pro - feasor A. M. Low some years ago. Freak effects of lightning are endless. in Lima, Peru, a sud- den lightning flash ripped off the clothing of a pretty girl in a slain street, CLASSIFIED AGENTS WANTED EARN Cash u, 70771 Sparc ante dust show your rasendS etlr Chtistneae end.
