With four sledges, each ptlled
by Eskimo dogs, the explorers
worked their way inland. Months
were spent in hauling supplies over
ice mountains.
The best months to explore the
Antarctic are December and Janu-
airy. When people In North America
are having winter the sun shines
day and night in the Antarctic.
Amundsen decided there was not
enough time to reach the South
Pole before the end Of the good
weather. So the party set up
camp and stayed in it through the
bitterly cold dark season." That
season came while people in north
ern parts of the world were having
summer.
Up to that date no human being
had reached the South Pole, but
British explorers had been busy in
the Antarctic. One of them, Robert

Pole. Next week we shall speak Of

America has been taught to make

Pottery, she remainds us, is made

Secret Discovery
The glowing orange yellow of
some of her pieces is secret dis

potter has used, so far as she knows.
Another of her specialties is deli

markedly on different vases, bowls

Somewhere in the frozen North
there may be the remains of Nor
wegian named Road Amundsen.
The facts about this are not quite
certain, but it is known that this
famous explorer left the civilized
world in 1928 on mission of mercy,
and that he has not returned.
Amundsens trip in 1928 was made
aboard an airplane with five COM
panions, and the object was to try to
locate and rescue a group of Ital-
ians who had failed to come back
from North Pole fight on an air.
ship. The mission failed, and
Amundsen and his comrades were
lost.
In November, 1941, round
about report came from Stockholm
that some one had seen Amundsen
living among the Eskimos in
Greenland. This report, however,
was not confirmed.
Whatever may have been the fate
of Amundsen on that journey, the
records of his earlier life and ad-
ventures are known. Born in a
rural district in Southeastern Nor
way, he went to college in Oslo, the
Norwegian capital, at that time
called ChriStiania.
Four years after his graduation
from college, he went to sea and
for a number OF years spent his time
learning navigation. A part of his
time was spent in the Arctic Ocean
and he felt a great desire to learn
about the polar regions. Up to that
time. no human being had set foot
on the North Pole.
In the years from 1908 to 1906
Amundsen commanded small
vessel which made an, exploring ex-
petition through the Arctic Ocean.

Alice Deal Boy Tells
OF 'Possum Hunting
Trip in Tennessee
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION

Alice Deal Junior High School.
One moonlit night friend and
1 went into the woods of Signal
Mountain, Tenn, to try to find an
opossum. It was clear and cold
and the persimmons were ripe, and
we were sure "old Brother Postum"
would be out looking for some.
We took along a good hunting
dog, a small ak, lantern and
tow sack, but no gun. We had gone
only about a fourth of a mile away
from the farmhouse when Spot, the
dog, struck scent.
We were following dirt road and
Spot was sticking close to it, though
running back and forth from one
side to the other. Suddenly he left
the road, plunging deep into the
woods. We heard a bark, followed
by one or two yelps and then full
chested bay. 1t was all very short:
in few minutes we could tell that
the dog had freed 'possum.
A brisk walk soon brought us to
big oak, where Spot was jumping
up and down, trying to get up the
tree. My friend told me that this
was an unusual kind of tree in
which to tree" a 'possum. This
animal is usually ''treed" up small
tree, and at this time of year it Is
almost always persimmon tree.
We soon found the 'possom out on
limb, about 10 feet up. We cut
long pole and pushed him of. After
the dog had tussled with him for q
while he played dead. We put him
in the sack and struck out for home.
'Possums make nice pets, though
it takes some time to tame them,
and they can be fed almost any,
thing but they like bread the best.

We always like to find out what people from Kodiak tell newspapers Outside when they are interviewed. Sometimes the impressions given are very anus ing.
 We have before us an inter- Iview given to the Minneapolis, Mlnn. Tribune, by olaf Halver- son, local teacher, who arrived there recently by plane. GA letter from MT. Halverson, describing the trip, was printed last week here.)
 Mir. Ralverson told the Tri- bune reporter: That Alaska is not an "icebox"; at Kodiak, the winters are warmer than Minne- sota's; baseball is played at mid night in the summer; vegetable crops are ready for harvest in two-thirds the time required to grow a Minnesota garden; meat is plentiful, compared to the sit uation in the States; and at Bethel, where MT. Halverson taught, reindeer meat appeared on the menu almost daily We have no quarrel with MT Halverson's facts, but the pic. ture that accompanies the art icle! It shows MT Halverson, smiling, in a parka!
 For 5 years we have seen Mir. Halverson coming aud going, and never did we see him in a parka. As we recall, his headgear in summer was usually a white cloth cap; in winter, a light felt dress hat to match his light top coat.
 And the parka he posed in lsn't even his! It belongs to the Northland photo company, and they imported it so people who wanted to could have thelr pi, : ture taken in 1t to send Out ide so their friends and relativ, s would think they were in the frozen north".
