RONNE EXPEDITION BASE
STONINGTON ISLAND, MAR
GUERITA BAY, Antarctic, Sept. 2l
Delayed A small British Auste1
airplane and its crew of three have
been missing from base E Of the
Falkland Islands dependencies sur
yey here since September IS.
The last radio message from the
men reported they were flying fast
at an altitude of 5000 feet over the
Fleming Glacier, rs miles east OF
this base. 1t Is believed that the
plane went down somewhere within
a radius of 120 miles of here.
Although hampered by a fierce
blizzard which began the night Of
the Auster's disappearance ano
grounded all search planes for AZ
hours, we put the entire facilities
of our group at the disposal of Maj
K, S. Pierce-Butler, leader Of the
British expedition.
All personnel in both camps
worked day and night despite the
blizzard preparing the search planes
The first flight was made on Sep
tember 18 by the Rome expedi.
tons Norseman plane. MAMA
Later the smaller LIS plane also was
sent out. Seven emergency flights
were made in the next four days
and the search area was covered
generally although winds, clouds
and a misty overcast hindered OBJ
servers.
Ground Party In Search.
A ground search party of four mer
has been flown to Mobiloil Bay tt
establish a base for further inves'
tigation. This group will be abl'
to comb the surface areas with les:
hindrance from everything clouds ane
variable weather conditions.
Hopes that the first day of cleal
weather will solve the mysteriou!
disappearance of the British flyer!
are strengthened by the fact thai
the Auster was given complete
check Immediately preceding it,

carrying full emergency equipment

Jackie Robinson Now A Dodger

BROOKLYN, R)-"I am on the spot and I know it. But I'm pre- pared for it. I'm certain I can win them over in Brooklyn as did in Montreal"
 That was the observation today of Jackie Robinson-first Negro ever to reach the major leagues in modern organized baseball.
 The brilliant 28-year-old former U.C.L.A. all-around athlete, who bids fair to become a drawing card rivaling Bob Teller and Ted Will Hams, was still in a daze over the swiftly moving events which made him Dodger yesterday.
 Tt feels wonderful to be a ma jor leaguer, even if 1 haven't ac- tually played in the big leagues yet" Robinson beamed. "I hope can justify everybody's faith in me-"
 He is a former army lieutenant.

FAIR NOTES

AS we all know, just about ey- erything flies in the Far North. That goes for reindeer too. The Fair reindeer exhibit is due tO ar rive the first part of next week via Wien Airlines! Due to the trail not being suitable for travel from Kot- zebue for the reindeer, arrange mentS have been made with Wien Airlines to bring the exhibit to the Fair in one of their cargo planes. The reindeer exhibit which is un- der the direction of MT. Herbert C, Mcclellan, assisted by Mrs. Alice Osborne should prove to be very interesting to all persons. An op- portunity will be given to view the actual life of the herder and his family with many demonstrations shown of all phases of butChcring, preparation of the meat for food, manufacturing of the by-prOducts in footwear, parkas, jackets, and other wearing apparel. Useful items will be made out of horns, hair and hides. There will be daily exhibition of the deer with con- tests, driving and carrying passen- gers, and freighting loads. An op~ portunity will be given to film all parts of the events.
 As a warning to all dog owners Any dog molesting the reindeer will be shot by the herders. Kind ly tie up your dogs now. All CO., operation on the part of the dog owners will be appreciated.

project committee on youth re-
creation, and announced by J..
Will Young, post commander.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, the problem OF juven-
lie delinquency is causing at pre-
sent great concern, both locally
and Throughout the Nation; and
Whereas, in the opinion of the
best minds in the United States it
is essential that positive action
be taken to eliminate the causes
of crime among youths ;and
Whereas, it is well known that
improper environment and the
lack of adequate recreational fac
ilities of the proper sort are
important, contributing factors in
the prevalence and spread Of
juvenile delinquency; and whereas,
it has been observed locally that
proper recreational facilities are
sadly lacking for the use and
enjoyment of the Negro youth of
this community! and whereas,
the World War ii Memorial Post,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, has
committed itself to the bettern-
ment not only to veterans but
the entire community in which it
exists:
Now, therefore: Be it resolved
that the World War I Memorial
Post Veterans of Foreign Wars,
does hereby commit itself to
sponsor and further with every
means at it's command, and by
working through and with all
agencies in the City of jack

State All Wood
land Improvement
Project Real
Success
NEGRO MEMBERS PARTICI
PATE FOR FIRST TIME

For the first time, the Negro
III Club members were given
a chance to participate in the
woodland improvement projects
under the Extension Forestry De-
partment. In March of 1947, the
G. M. and o. railroad notified
the Negro Boys HI Club Agent,
G. c. Cypress, through State Col
lege, that 100000 had been made
available for this work. No time
was lost in getting this work un-
der way. Three forestry schools
were held, where the county a.
gents were trained how to con-
duct this Work. AS a result, %
counties scattered throughout the
State enrolled 166 boys. A large
number of the boys did some very
outstanding work. 43 per cent
of the boys enrolled in the wood
land Improvement Projects, COM
pleted their work.
There were set up four tim
Der districts in the State, and
there were twelve prizes offered
in each district. These prizes
ranged from $500 to $4,000. Fifty
dollars was offered as first prize
in each district, and $500 as Sc
cond prize. In addition to these
prizes, there was enough money
set aside to take two adults and
the four first and second prize
winners on a tour through South
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and
to Tuskegee Institute, Alabama,
visiting wood using industries and
woodland improvement demonst-
rations.
