NO. 29—LIGHTS Little America, Antarctica, June 12 (via Mackay Radio)— Talk about the South Pole as a summer resort! Never have I seen such weather—or, rather, felt it. Here, in the short space of two months, our thermometers have danced up and down all the way from 60 degrees below zero to 28 above. For three weeks now we have had a regular heat wave and Admiral Byrd, out there in his snow-buried hut, had radio ed some of his friends in New York to come down and visit him in his “wonderful summer resort.” It is nothing, when a blizzard is on the way, for us to see a change of 55__ degrees in a few hours. But, coop ed up in our houses, these changes are not annoying us much. The scien tists, especially William Haynes, o f Washington, are all hot and bothered by theRichardS. Russellj uncertainty of Jr., of Boston the temperatures Dog Driver and are a bit worried about our ice-foundation breaking up. We have plenty of light in NOTICE OF RE-SALE NORTH CAROLINA, ALLEGHANY COUNTY As Commissioner appointed by the Superior Court in the case of R. D.

RICHARDSON, (Commissioner Why be NERVOUS Ifcere’s a time-tested, harmless, preparation, compounded by a specialist in nervous disorders, for the relief of Sleeplessness, Irritability, Nervous Indigestion, Nervous Headache, Restlessness, the Blues and Hysterical Con ditions.

The houses are lighted by kero sene lamps and el'ectric light. We have electric flash lamps and some gasoline lanterns. And no mosquitos or other insects gather around them! Admiral Byrd took with him to his advance weather base 3 M tons of petroleum prod ucts for his lighting, heating and cooking. This included 200 gal lons of Tydol gasoline and fif een gallons of Veedol oil for his Kohler gasoline-electric generator and 700 gallons of kerosene for his heating and cooking stoves. As fuel engineer, I had to have all this material ready in properly marked containers for his trip. Today we asked him, by voice over the radio, hew his supply is holding out. He replied by code telegraph key that he has suffic ient fuel for his stoves and gen erator eligine to last another 18 months! You students of electricity may be interested in the details of his electric lighting set. The one cylinder unit weighs 35 pounds, is air cooled (and how!) and generates 350 watts, 110 volts. We are living here surrounded by garages. All our automotive equipment of planes, tractors and snowmobiles is underground, or, rather, undersnow. We dug out big holes in the snow, with ramps leading down into them, and, just as’ the winter night descended up on/ us, stowed our machines in them and covered them with blocks of snow or tarpaulins which the snow has already roof ed over. There is not a great deal to tell about our activities at the moment. Pete Demas, our Greek chief mechanic, has been appoint ed to what I consider the meanest job here—night watchman. He opens up the place every night after we’ve retired at 10 o’clock, to clear out stale air and shivers all night in the kitchen, until, he lights the fires in the morning, about an hour before we get up at 7:30. Our classes in navi gation, dog and tractor trans portation, radio, geology, biology, zoology, meterology and physics are going on every day. We are filling our heads with useful know ledge and it keeps us busy. One important thing we are learning is the value of small things, usual ly wasted. With us old corks, rags, socks, string and other cast off item are priceless for a thous and purposes. I’ll certainly be an old string and paper bag saver when I get home. The club reports to me by radio that quite a number of membership cards and maps sent to new members are being re turned by the post office marked “not found” “better address” “no such city,” “moved away,” etc. Therefore, if you haven’t receiv ed your card or map, maybe you sent us your address incorrectly or not complete enough. So send in again, in good cleqr writing. AIR MAIL POSTAGE REDUCED TO SIX CENTS PER OUNCE Air mail postage has been re duced to six cents an ounce or fraction thereof, regardless of distance, according bo an official announcement made recently by the Post Office Department, Washington, D. C., in the Daily Postal Bulletin. The reduction was ordered on June- 20 by Postmaster General Farley under the air mail act ap proved on June 12. A new air mail route, which will operate by way of Roanoke and Bristol, has been mapped and will be opened for service within the near future.

Roberson, Mgr. Looking At Washington (continued from front page) organization, is expected to make his initial utterance at Jackson, Mich., on July 7th, the eightieth anniversary of the founding of his party. Already the battle of statements has begun, with the Vice-President starting the ball rolling and various Republicans, including Senator Dickinson, Og den Mills, Senator Hastings, and others joining in. The attitude of Senator Borah causes speculation, although he is considered colder than ever in regard to the New Deal policies, which have enjoyed the general support of other Progressives. In fact, it is said that the Idaho in surgent is convinced that the AAA is “national suicide” and that the NRA is “controlled monopoly.” With these convictions he is anx ious to throw himself into the campaign to make sure that “both sides of the story are told.” He will trail exponents of the New Deal, striking vigorously at its organization and program, al though generally he will do what he can in behalf of insurgent Re publican Senators. Many observers declare that the outcome of the election, re gardless of the speeches, will de pend upon business conditions. If things are on the upgrade in November, with a brighter out look, voters are going to be en thusiastic supporters of the New Deal, while, on the other hand, if the prospect is blacker, with agriculture in the doldrums, the gains of the Republicans will be notable. However, on the pres ent basis it is assumed that the Democrats stand a good chance to make a gain in the Senate, and the Republicans have the prospect of encouragement in House results, although with lit tle chance to overcome the heavy Democratic majority there. Again the prohibition issue looms as dry leader Deets Pickett declares that repeal has failed to prevent the return of the saloon, to protect dry states, or to bring in the huge revenue that wa.s expected. Another blast comes from F. Scott McBride, of the Anti-Saloon League, who believes that “prohibition will come sooner than anyone expects” and Bishop James Cannon declares “the craize for repeal has spent its force” and “we are out to renew our fight over this entire nation.” Earlier Senator Sheppard, of Texas, had suggested a new amendment giv ing Congress the right to regulate or prohibit alcoholic beverages, rather than to permit state con trol. However, Senator Borah, an ardent dry, opposes the plan, preferring to give the state-con trol idea 'a thorough trial. That the Federal Trade Com mission’s six-year investigation into public utilities will be con tinued, and that affairs of other companies will be aired is assur ed'by the extension of the inquiry for another 18 months. Since 1928, when it began its work, the commission estimates that con sumers’ pqwer rates have been reduced more than $118,000,000 by nearly 100 companies investi gated. The diclosures already made, and to be discovered, are expected to lead to legislation curbing stock and property in flation, excessive management fees, political activities and ex tensive secret propaganda through newspapers, schools and civic or ganizations. Reciprocal trade agreements are not expected to be made until sometime in the fall, although negotiations with Cuba, Brazil and Argentina are under way and the terms of a treaty with Colom bia about fixed. More than thirty nations approached the govern ment as the tariff measure was going through Congress, but were hel'd off until trade affairs could be studied. The idea is to treat all nations alike, if possible, and this seems possible in view of the fact that each of 29 important articles imported into this coun try came mainly from one coun try, so that concessions made to nations sending in only a small portion would not affect the rights of the other.

Roup To Important Post Son Of Mr. and Mrs. Nor man Roup Appointed Reformatory Head In Washington The following news story ap peared in the June 6 issue of the Inland Empire News, published at Hillyard, Washing ton, regarding the recent ap pointment of Senator George Roup as Superintendent of the Monroe Reformatory, by Governor Martin. Senator Roup is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Roup, Sparta, and formerly lived here. —Editor. The selection of Senator George W. Roup by Governor Martin for superintendent of Monroe Reformatory was a surprise, not only to the public, but to Mr. Roup as well. Mr. Roup was not an applicant for the place and states that he never had' given a thought to the position previous to the governor suggesting to him that he consider it. And to the general public who know Senator Roup, his appointment was a most gratify ing one. They believe that Gov. Martin has used no better judg ment lor any appointment than that of Mr. Roup, and all are confident that the administration he will give the institution will be the most outstandingly con structive, efficient and beneficial of any superintendent in the institution’s history. “After thinking the proposition over for several days, I reached the conclusion that it offered per haps the best, opportunity that ever came my way to be of ser- j vice to the state and especially of service to a class of men and I boys who sorely need service,” | ssaid Mr. Roup. “I accepted the place with the full understanding that I shall have the entire responsi bility, that I shall choose those employed under me, at the institution, and I am willing to accept that responsibility great as it may be. I was not looking for the job. I consider it an honor and a distinction that Governor Martin should have chosen me for the position, and I believe that I can initiate a system and adopt methods of handling the Monroe Reformatory that will result in good for all those con cerned. That shall be my aim. “I have my own ideas, al though not yet well worked out, of how an institution of this kind should be conducted, the kind and class of employees engaged, the technicalities in volved that require experienced technical men to— handle the work, and it shall be my aim to adopt a course along such lines.” Sen. Roup is 53 years old. He was born in North Carolina. He graduated from the Colorado' State Teachers College and later i from the .Lewiston State Normal ; College in Idaho. He came to Washington in 1907 and taught school for a | number of years. Then he en-1 tered the mercantile business at Cloverland, Asotin county, and proved to be a successful business ! man. Then he became one j?f i Asotin county’s most successful | farmers and cattlemen, operat- 5 ing a large farm and raising ! blooded cattle. Mrs. Roup is a I native-born Asotin county lady and for a 'number of years was j a teacher in the public school's ; of the state. She is a woman ; of fine character, delightful personality, educated and refined. Both Mr. and Mrs. Roup are devoted Christians, active mem bers of the Baptist church. ‘‘I am (juite proud of one thing” said Mr. Roup to the editor of this paper, “and that is that I have been a Sunday school -superintendent for 27 years and have not missed 27 Sundays attending to my duties as such.” Naturally interested in boys Mr. Roup also found much pleasure for many years in act ing as a Scoutmaster over troops of Boy Scouts. Since last January he was field organizer of the Federal Farm Credit Administra tion in this, the 12th district, working out of Spokane, and for several weeks past has been receiver for the Whitman County j National Bank at Rosalia.
