BYRD'S CREW LIKED
 SWEETMEATS BEST
Meat Easily Procured and Not
 So Popular in Antarctic

Manistee. Mich. Aug. IS. UP). Tender cuts from the crab eating seal broiled skugulls, orange pies and jam-these were the culinary delights which helped cheer the Byrd expedition through the long Antarctic night, George Tennant of this city, Rear Admiral Byrd's cook on all his expeditions told the Uni ted Press in an interview.
 Sweets of all kinds were special favorites with the men who ma rooned themselves for two years in Little America, Tenant said. and as result a surprising quantity Of sugar was used on the trip. Fresh meat was easy to procure, he wslt on, because of seals and wild birds, but in other varieties Of food the men were not so for tUnate; canned goods, hydrated po- tatoes and eskimo biscuits species or hard-tack made up most of the noe emu,
 Tennant might be called Byrd's official expeditionary cook. When lHt tAptulliOll lO liiV A'Oi Nii | OiS vas first contemplated. the then Commander. realizing that expedl- tions as we'll as armies travel on their stomachs, sought good chef. Tenant, who had served in the galleys of the Merchant Marine since it's inception was recommend ed to Byrd and accompanied him
 f,,1 l that he was asked to cook for the South Pole expedition. He did all the cooking for the crew without any assistance from the time they first sighted the ice-bound shore line of Little America until they left
 Tn his honor, one of the camps established in the Polar region was named Camp Manistee' after his home town about which. Tennant admitted with a grin he used to talk so much he eventually became known to members of the expedi- ticn as "Manistee.
 Tt was no hardship cooking down there" the copper-thatched veteran of the galley recalled. You'd be surprised how many facil- ties I had to cook with. And the admiral frequently came around to see how the food was holding out Sometimes he wouldn't believe me when I told him how much there was left - he was always afraid we'd run short But We never did except on tobacco and that was near the end of the trip"
 The barrenness of the region where Byrd's men toiled so long as well as the dreary routine of life there was we'll exemphfied in an anecdote told by Tennant. Carl Peterson of Chicago, one of the radio operators on the trip, he said, once found dead fly which ap- parently had been brought to the Little America base wrapped in something, since no insects can exist there.
 He placed it. lfe-like on table, Tenant told with a grin, and glee- fully watched the expressions of surprise registered by various mem bers of the expedition when they saw this familiar pest SO many thousands of miles from home.
 They were fine bunch of fel- lows to cook for concluded the cook, never complaint out of them. But gosh how they did like jam"

be placed on parking in such
areas between 8 and $50 q. m.
Angle parking and double park

occupy them when not in actual
