Helping to shed light on the "dark continent” is Lufthansa German Airlines, which offers a complete 18- day tour for $1,485 in cluding air fare. Flights are round-trip from New York to Nairobi, Kenya, and the lour provides a splendid sa fari that includes everything from “A" (antelopes) to “Z” (zebras). Lufthansa also accommo dates others who have set their sights on an even longer camera safari with programs of 22 and 32 days. Crunching Power Is Accelerated With Rubber Coat The U. S. Coast Guard ice breaker Yankton will wear a rubber slicker this winter. In a search for materials that will stick to an ice breaker but not to ice, the Coast Guard has coated the 110-foot vessel’s hull with a special rubber developed by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Like wax on skis, the thin layer of rubber, is expected to protect the icebreaker’s hull and make it easier for it to slide over ice. Instead of ramming through thick ice, as many believe, an icebreaker actu ally slides up onto the frozen water and then crushes down through it with the weight of its hull. When driven over ice, reg ular paints wear off quickly and the exposed huH then sticks to ice more than it would if painted. The added drag increases an icebreak er’s power requirements and fuel consumption. The Yankton is one of six icebreakers being painted with new materials in a Coast Guard research project con ducted by Rennselaer Poly technic Institute. New Machine Speeds Solid Waste Retrieval A new machine capable of sorting 10 tons of shredded solid wastes per hour has been introduced by the Wemco Di vision of Envirotech Corpo ration, Menlo Park, Ca. The Wemco Rising Current Separator recovers valuable resources through the sepa ration of refuse into well de fined fractions by water flow and specific gravity. The sep arator yields two dewatered products: a ‘float’ consisting of heavy combustibles and a ‘sink’ composed primarily of glass, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. The separator is applicable to municipal solid waste, auto scrap, or any situation in which a separation of materi als is desirable. « J moss. Here are some of the high lights that come into view on the 18-day adventure:. Leave Nairobi in specially designed game-viewing vehi cles, equipped with photo hatches, for the start of an exciting big game safari. You enter Samburu Game Re serve, famous as the location for the filming of the movie “Born Free." Chances are the visitor will spot rhino, lion, cheetah, leopard, ele phant and the dangerous buffalo. They're all fair game for the photographer. Enjoy a drive into the Masai Mara Game Reserve one of the most beautiful areas of Kenya. Large herds of buffalo and elephants are seen among the thickets, while hippos bask in the Mara River. Perhaps you will glimpse a rare roan antelope or rhinoceros. Then it's on to Tanzania's world famous Researchers Find Use For Refuse Members of two horticul tural research teams from Pennsylvania State Univer sity have found a construc tive use for discarded anthra cite mine refuse banks. The scientists say that a refuse and nutrient combina tion will serve as well as an inexpensive substitute for the two million tons of top soil now used annually in greenhouses. Properly treated and crushed coal refuse is rela tively inexpensive, abundant and can be trucked as far away as New York and Balti more for less than the cost of soil, according to estimates.

Take a short drive to Lake Manyara Reserve to view its tropicaj forests and Soda Lake. The shores of the lake are pink with flamingos. The Reserve is noted for its herds of elephants, and es pecially for the lions sleep ing in the limbs of trees. Then to the colorful town of Arusha and return to Nairobi. Touring groups are limited to approximately 25. They are fully escorted, and trav elers stay at the best hotels and camps. Also included are Micro Bus trips. All meals are included (a la cartewhere available) except in Nairobi, where only breakfast will be provided.

His true habitat stops on the south at the United States border, although he has ranged over from time to time into slates- such as Minnesota, Maine, New York and North Dakota.

If you hunt moose, and are after “horns" we urge that you be selective. Don’t'ever shoot “just any moose” to say you have. They are a rare and pre cious trophy, one of the world’s most desirable game animals.
