ANTARCTIC GOLD TO BE SOUGHT BY WALKER PARTY

LONDON-While Great Britain was still celebrating the Coronation, 90 young men sailed into the unknown.
 They are the Walker Antarctic ex- petition, who, after a year of hard planning, are sailing to the regions of the South Pole in a three-masted schooner on a survey expedition. With the aid of a plane, they also will search for gold and other pre- cious metals.
 All members of the expedition are young men under 50. They are be- ing led by Commander E. W. Walk CT. who went to the Arctic in 1880 and Is3I-
 For 15 months this group of young men will brave all the worst rigors of the uncharted world. Accompanied by geologists, they will set up a base at Wood Bay and a sub-base at Ross Island, and. using a 200 m-p.h plane, they will fly over vast stretches of iceland in an endeavor to trace the uncharted coastline of Oates Land named after the heroic Captain Oates, who, rather than be a burden to his harassed companions, walked out into the ceaseless blizzard 25 years ago and died
 Risks to Be Great
 "AQ of us know the dangers in advance, and there will be no squeal- ing once we have started" Command CT Walker said Exploration, after all, is essentially a business for young men. Risks must be taken in dealing with the unknown, and they are surely better taken by young men who are unattached, and whose deaths would not cause sorrow to de- ependents. Only three of our mem bers are married, and they have made ample provision for their wives and children.
 ''Ths aerial survey, a particularly hazardous business, Is being under taken by Robert Pickett, a brilliant 2S-year-old piloty who will have to fly over 1000 miles of icy stretch.
 'EHe will fly 300 miles from the main base to a fueling station, and from the, fueling bases out and back again for a distance of l 1,000 miles al together. If anything goes wrong with his plane, and he has to come down on the ice, 1t will not be hap py prospect for him, for even If there were any relief parties, we would not know where to find him.
 Visions Vast Wealth
 ''The charting of Oates Land Is important in itself, but we are going to the Antarctic well prepared for surprises, and it may turn out to be a treasure hunt as well. There is good reason to suppose that the An arctic conceals fabulous wealth in gold, silver and radium.
 q have long had a theory, which is shared and partly proved by other specialists, that as the earth moves on its axis, the poles constantly change in uosition-which may ac- count for the fact that some explor- CTS claim that parts of the Arctic which were much colder years ago. are becoming war m c r-and that parts of the world, which, centuries ago. might have been ocean or noun tainland, now constitute the North Poles.

SLISC0 TELLS OF BATTLE TO BRING PRETTY BRIDE HERE

With his pretty little, dark-eyed wife laughing shyly by his side, Mar tin Slisco, 53-year-old Wiseman road house operator, stood on the deck of the s. $.

Third Division
 Mine Interests
 May Organize

l.. V. Ray, prominent attorney of the Third Division and resident of Seward, who has always been keenly interested in the development of min eral resources of the Territory, has been asked by Frank 0Farrel, sec retary-treasurer of the newly formed Alaska Mining Association, at Fair banks, to organize the mining inter ests in the Third Division, says the Seward Gateway.
 n part, Mr. 0'FarreI's letter to Attorney Ray, who at present is in the Interior on mining business, said:
 Will Improve the Industry
 @Some of the mining men around Fairbanks have recently organized ti2e Alaska Mining Association with the idea of looking after mining in
 rests in general
 If you will do so, we should like 10 have you organize the mining irI- Uerests in the Third Division. The procedure we follow here {in Fair banks) was to get as many together as possible, elect 8 board of directors a.s.. 3 president and secretary.
 We have organized here e.s a Ter itoria Association, but as soon as ae thing gets well started, We shall
 rm a Fourth Division section. Who a-er is chosen to be the chairman of -e Third Division may be appointed vice-president of the Territorial o1iation by the territorial board sf directors.
 Local Units
 Copies of the Constitution and By laws and application blanks should be sent to some person in each camp who will take an, interest in. the mat ter and organize the local unit.
 Each member should pay his s annual dues when he joins and Of this s should be kept by the divisional section and g, forwarded to tse ter ritorial- ecretary-treasurer, at Fair banks"
 Commenting upon the formation of Third Division unit. Elwyn Swetmam, Seward businessman. and outstanding in his personal interest in mining, said that the plan IS to nave a unit in each camp or town; then a divisional unit which m turn will have representation on the terri -torial board and have annual meet ings at various points in the Terri tory
 @Unquestionably. such a move must prove of inestimable benefit to the mining industry as whole, giving the organization standing and, due to it's concerted action, foster legis- lation beneficial to the miners as well as prevent legislation detrimental to. the mining business.
 Continuing MT. Swetmann said: If any miners, prospectors or others in- terested in forming such an organiz- ation here will leave their names al the Seward Drug Store, we will, when. we have a representative group, call a meeting and organize"

RASPBERRY CROP
VALUED AT $4,000
Many Berries Are Being
Picked Now; Big Apple
Crop Predicted

1t is conservatively estimated
that the raspberry crops in the
Washington County berry belt
this year will be approximately
$4,000.
The black raspberries are now
being picked in considerable
quantities, climaxing probably the
latter part of this week or the
first Of next week. Different
soils have something to do with
the time raspberries ripen.
The figure quoted, according to
growers, are for the black varie-
ties of raspberries and does not
include the red, which this year
are not so plentiful. The red
raspberries, however, always com
mand higher prices.
The raspberry belt extends
from Ringgold down through the
CaVetown and Smithsburg sec
tons, to Mapleville, Keedysv1lle
and Boonsboro. This belt follows
the mountain, extending out into
the valley.
The method of marketing the
raspberry crop has changed some
what during recent years. For
merly many carloads went to the
Pittsburgh market, principally
via the B. & O., from the section
between Hagerstown and Viewer
ton In more recent years, trucks
go directly to the patches where
the berries are bought outright.
The strawberry crop this season
was rather heavy, as in former
years. The rain, growers report,
has had some effect on the white
varieties of cherries, causing them
to rot. The outlook for the peach
and apple crop is bright and the
growers are predicting a record
crop.

CITY OFFICIALS
EXPECT A HEAVY
INCREASE In 1887
Expansion of Industrial
Plants Boosts Power
Consumption

Consulting engineers, who
have been making an extensive
survey at the City Light Plant
during the past few weeks, are
expected to make their report
within the next few days, it was
announced this morning by {.
S. Guth, president of the Board
of Street Commissioners. The
engineering firm of Wood and
Kirkpatrick, Philadelphia, are
in charge of the survey.
The purpose of the survey, ac-
cording to Mr.. Guth, is TO learn
definitely just what procedure and
new equipment will be necessary
to more efficiently serve the thous-
ands of City Light Plant patrons
in the future. During the past
few years, the increased con-
sumption of City Light power has
taxed the plant so heavily that
they are now operating at capac-
ity. The number of turbo-genera-
tors may be increased to three,
it is reported, thus having one
generator in reserve to be used
in emergencies.
An all-time consumption record
was established last year, and, &C
cording to light plant records
this figure will be exceeded in
1887.
While the City Light officials
have received no complaints con-
corning the service, the commits
sioners feel that running at ca
pacity with insufficient reserve
facilities is not conducive to good
business practices. Operating
under these conditions would give
no guarantee to the consumer
that they would not be inconven.
fenced due to an unavoidable
breakdown. With the installation
of an additional modern generator
the local plant will be in a splen-
did position to meet all possible
emergencies and service to the
consumer will be guaranteed
Mr.. Guth stated today that the
increased load at the plant during
the past two years is due, primar-
lily, to the expansion Of local in
dustrial plants, and the tremen-
dous number of radios, refrigera-
tors, washing machines and other
electrical appliances sold in Ha-
gerstown by local dealers.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-23
Changes Are Wrought

One week from tomorrow Governor Cross must have completed all his recess appointments for the coming two, four or six years as the case many be. Failure to appoint or reappoint will result Ill hold-overs in the case of judgeships and commissionerships It is hardly likely that there will be any, as the governor has indicated since the close of the legls- lative session that he intends to i'll all the offices left to him to fill by the legls- tors He still has week.
 In the meantime no doubt he will con- tinue to be subjected to criticism from various sources, mostly republican. They are quick to point out that his judicial appointments, the minor courts, have smacked of political expediency. Where it was possible to favor democratic ap- pointees, it was done. So much so that even democrats are commenting the gov ernor wholeheartedly for the manner m which he has responded to their urgent patronage pleas.
 There are many explanations for this. Some contend that the governor con- templates complete retirement from pol itics at the end of his present term ana does not have the deep personal interest he had a few years back. Others believe that the governor feels that the deHlu- cratic party in Connecticut is actually now maintaining tighter grip on the state government than it ever did before and it is not necessary for him any longer to hold the republicans in high regard or consider them entitled to gubernator- ial favorS
 There are several good reasons why this last explanation might hold water. One is the obvious fact that the demo- crats have gained votes while the republi- cans have lost them. The other is the lack of real leadership in gop. ranks. as seen throughout the legislative session and caused, too, by the death of the state chairman, J. Henry Roraback. Either explanation fails to take into account public opinion or reaction to the gover- nor's appointments. We've heard repub- lican criticism from officials concerned, but there hasn't been much from the average fellow What is he thinking?
