A New Islands Found
y As
As Rome Sets Record
sailing Deep Into Bay
By comdr. Finn Rome
North Amsriean kswspapsr AlIiene.

: PORT or BEAUMONT Mar
guerite Bay, Antarctica, April -
4Delayed .--Our trip into King
George VI Sound, q part Of Mar
guerite Bay, failed In its primary
goal Of establishing "a shore base
for southern operations, but NAV
well turn out to be more important
as a source OF historical and geo.
graphic "firsts." The Port of Beau
mont sailed farther south into the
completely urlcharted waters Of
Marguerite Bay than any ship in
history and. IN so doing, discovered
many new islands and cfarted
Them on existing maps.
We reached so degrees. Is min
11tes south latitude and, so far as
4 know, no. ship has ever been
1urther south In this sector OF the
antarctic than approximately 68 de-
gress, 80 minutes. That was the
North Star of the United States
antarctic Expedition, which made
ahe deepest previous penetration In
j940. 81.
. Deep inside Marguerite Bay, our
1athometer began to record shall
3ow banks, and we could see ice
bergs near us grounded on reefs.
Fathometer readings ran from 100
fathoms to dangerous shoal depth
Of only z fathoms, from which jut-
ting rocks might well rise to near
the surface.
Discovered FOur Islands.
We discovered four large islands,
each Of them ice-capped, and rising
approximately 100 feet from the wa
ter. Rocks were exposed only on
the sides of the islands, which prob
ably accounts for their previously
having been dismissed as icebergs.
Air observation would disclose only
their tce-capped tops. The large is
lands extended for varying lengths,
ranging from one-half mile to near
ly miles. Numerous smaller is
lands were completely barren and
rock was exposed for their whole
length.
We could not go into King George
VI Sound because huge bergs near
the entrance might have joined to-
gether and prevented our exit. How
ever, we went right up to the en-
trance Of the sound and noted a
curious change from its previous
topography. When I was at the
sound in 1910, 1t contained no open
water. Further, at the point where
Marguerite Bay opens into King
George vi Sound, there was huge
160-foot ice wall in 1910, and this
towering barrier ran inside and
down the entire length of the sound.
This year, as we stood at the head
Of the sound, there was only fiat,
clear water-the wall had disap-
peared. But evidence indicated that
the bergs on either side of us had
broken from the old barrier. We
now think that the barrier has melt
ed at this end, and the whole thing
has probably retreated 80 to so miles
inland.
Plotting Called SkillfuI.
Through the skillful. plotting
of Comdr. Isaac Schlossbach our
vessel was l1avigated safely among
the huge tabular and glasier former
ieebergs which blocked the entire
entrance to King George VI Sound,
making it impossible to land. Some
of the tabular icebergs had just re-
Gently broken off from the sound
itself and the men on deck looked
open-mouthed as icebergs many
miles in length slowly sailed by.
The glacier-formed icebergs were |
the most spectacular, displaying |
their various shapes and colors as a

belted Joe Louis to the canvas

An estimated 10000 lined
Broadway and damned City

Bands played. Factory

mayor gave Joe the key to the
city. School children were let
out an hour early to join the
ovation.
But none of the Chamber of

mentioned that jersey Joe's
own children came up to the
celebration from a jimcrow

THE Cardinals scored in the
first minute of play on an 80-yard
touchdown pass from Paul Christ

never relinquished the lead.
Christman was on with his pass

Dewell and Dimancheff left moth

Trippi ran hard and looked good
all the way.
But let there be no mistake
about it, this game was won in
the line. The Cardinals stairway

of Chef Bulger, Clarence Esser,
Stu Mauldin, Ray Apolskis and
Vince Banonis. Not only did they

Food Preservation
Encouraged Through
National Week Contest

With the mounting cost of food
and the general deficiency in the
world food supply, there is real
need for home preservation this
season. The end of sugar rationing
will give added impetus to food pre-
ServatiOn.
Two major events to interest
homemakers in doing more canning,
freezing and storing of food have
been announced this week by the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service.
The week of June % through rs
has been designated Home Preser-
vatiOn Week, by the United States
Department of Agriculture. En-
phasis is not on the week as ar
event, but on streSsing need fOl

the growing season this summer.
This year again, Food Preser-
vatiOn Contest will be conducted in
Delaware, as in other states. A
handsome silver-plated pitcher
made available by the NatiOna
Garden Institute, will be awarded
to the woman in the State whose
record of home food preservation
and storage is most outstanding.
This contest, dates for which will
be announced in the near future
will be sponsored again by thu

VETERAN TERMINAL LEAVE e.
BOND CASHING Is SIGHTED
By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON, June ia pre-
diction that Congress will vote at
this session to permit veterans to
cash their terminal leave bonds
Immediately was made this week
by Speaker Martin (R-Mass).
Meanwhile, a House committee
acted to deny Communists any vet
Grams benefits.
Martin told newsmen that Con-
session and without advance notice,
through budget reductions, couid

right away and thus reduce the ma
tional debt against which they are
now charged. Treasury figures show
that veterans now own 81 $3.50, ,455,'
600 worth of the bonds.
He said the step also would save
the government money this way:
The Treasury can now borrow
money at one and one-half percent
But it is paying two and One-hal
percent interest on the bonds
which do not mature and cannot bt
cashed for five years after date o

Martin said the measure shoul(

Mildew Prevention Outlined
For Delaware HOmemakerS

The humid summer weather may
cause mildew damage to household
goods that are stored in cellars and
closets. This troublesome stain is
caused by molds which grow on
any material from which they can
get enough food. They flourish in
damp, poorly aired and lighted
places, especially in cellars, in
clothing closets, on showers cur
tains and in damp clothes rolled up
for ironing.
Several preventive measures a.
gainst mildew are suggested by
Miss Adeline Hoffman, extension
clothing specialist for the Univer-
sity of Delaware. The best way to
prevent mildew is to KEEP
THINGS DRY. If you cannot dry
the house by airing it, heat with a
furnace, stove or electric reflector
for short time. Then use an cleo
trio fan to drive the warm air out
the windows and doors.
Dry towels and other articles be-
fore throwing them into the hamp-
er. Wash out dishclothes and hang
them to dry. Stretch out wet shower
curtains to dry. Sprinkle for iron
ing only those articles that can be
finished at one time and shake out
those not irOned.
Musty odors may be combatted by
chemicals. Chloride of lime, sprin-
killed. over the basement floor, is a
good deodOrant and disinfectant
Open jars of calcium chloride plac-
ed in closets or storage spaces, will
i take up moisture, but must be re-
placed when the solid chloride be-
comes liquid. "a
! CLEAN TEXTILES BEFORE
i STORING. Soiled clothing and
household textiles are more likely
! to mildew than clean ones. Do moi
leave sizing or laundry starch il
fabrics to be stored, and NEVEF
store textiles in damp basement.
Fabrics such as cotton shower
: curtains, awnings, tents, sails, etc.
/ may be treated with a mildew-re
sistant finish, available in drug ant
department stores. Be cautious il
using them on clothing, for the.
may irritate the skin.
For information on removing mil
dew and a mildew-resistant pro
cess, that can be carried out a
home, write to the Office of Infor
nation, Extension Service, Newark
Delaware.
