found food that had been left the table when
the first expedition departed in early 1880. The food
had been there for almost five years. There part of
a roast beef potatoes, bread butter and other foods.
We unfroze them and had fine meal. The roast beef
was probably good as the day it was cooked.
In l947, on our fourth expedition, again had an
adequate meal of food we took to Little America in

Antarctic is a vastly superior icebox.
Snowballs Are Out
Below the snow line, far south as Little America
temperatures get above freezing Contrary to
popular belief the temperature within the Antarctic
Circle averages about 40 degrees colder than in the
within the Arctic Circle. During my solitary win
vigil Advance Base in 1884, succeeded in record
ing temperature of 80 degrees below zero.
1t is this consistently cold climate, plus the presence

| ell cars. Another tip is that con-
cerned with the grade of fuel
your automobile uses.
Many motorists today demand
| premium fuel when their engines
are designed to run just as eff
ficiently on standard gasoline.
On some makes of cars, high test
gasoline is needed and should
be used at all times, but millions
of cars in this country do not
require the higher octane rating
and untold sums are wasted in
this way.
A final tip concerns oil. Many
testing agencies claim that oil
does not yea out, and that re-
hibilitated oil-which you prob
ably cannot obtain = is even
better for your car than new"
oil. AT any rate, there is prob
ably no necessity to change your
oil as often as you do, especially
if you have an oil filter, and
more infrequent changes of oil
will saw you money.
The automobile industry has
one other suggestion. If your
car is old, and using too much
gasoline and oil, buy a new one.
You will save a little on gaSo-
line.

may prove true we should new
ertheless have a personal plan
for financing our retirement
years.
Saving money toward retire
ment is less important than saw
ing regularly. Sure, it's diff
cult to save regularly. We're al
ways tempted to wait until we
have some extra money. Even
if we manage to save some
money new temptations woo us
and we find ourselves saying,
"I1l borrow a little from my
savings and pay it back next
month"
If we really want to save mon
ey for our later years we must
(a) put aside a certain amount
each pay day, and (b) keep our
hands off it. Savings can grow
at an astonishing rate. Suppose
we save just five dollars weekly
at three percent interest. In 80
years we'll have $12,369.60. That's
more than enough to cover half
a dozen trips around the world

When You Retire
LACK OF FUNDS CAN
CURB RETIREMENT FUN
BY Robert Peterson

Its all very well to talk abou
exciting travels in retirment,
writes a retired grocer in Ne
braska, ''but what about those
of us with meager incomes who
have trouble keeping the vol
from the door," He is rs anc
lives in a tiny apartment. AL
though he enjoys fairly gooc
health he says there is little
chance of travelling on his $6s
monthly income. "It barely pays
the rent and food billi" says he.
It's sad when people find
themselves along in years and
unable to afford leisurely retire
ment trips to fascinating vaca-
ton places like Lake Louise,
Grand Canyon, and Cape Cod. If
you're in this boat you're prob
ably tempted to feel sorry for
yourself. Here, however, are
three approaches which may i'm
prove your outlook:
First, could you work at a
part-time job? You may assume
no one would hire you, but have
you tried looking for a job? Or,
could you take up a profitable
hobby at home which might
bring you extra cash for retire
ment pleasures? About all you
need is some ingenuity and a
real interest in improving your
situation. Write to this column
for a FREE LIST OF HOBBIES
that are helping thousands Of
older people achieve a COM
Portable, more stimulating retire
ment.
Second, take a tip from the
popular song and start counting
your blessings instead of sheep.
Probably plenty of people in
your community are in worse
shape than you. Pay them a
friendly visit. By showing inter
est in their troubles you may
soon forget your own.
Third, if your limited income
creates some real needs, follow
the Biblical counsel to "Ask and
we shall receive" If you need
some medical housing, don't be
afraid to ask for assistance. If
lonely, don't be afraid
to seek information about or
CARNATIONS where you might
meet others your age.
Who's at fault when men and
women reach retirement age
and can't afford the travels and
material pleasures that the later
years should bring? In some
Eases the blame lies in circum-
stances and reverses over which
he Individual had no control.
But in many cases the individu-
Il is to blame for failing to plan
and provide for his later years.
When we're young we tend to
hink of retirement as something
million years distant. We as
;ume that when we retire we'll
lave a company pension and So
.ial security benefits that will
AXE care of all our wants and
leeds. While this assumption

AVOIDING

Mishaps, other than highway
accidents, have cost the lives of
several highly respected citizens,
or former citizens of this COM
munity, this year. The number of
serious accidents, some of them
fatal, which occur unnecessarily
is staggering to the Imagination.
Statistics show that a fatal &C
cident is occurring somewhere in
the United States every few min
utes during every day of the
year. This does not NEAR much,
expressed in these words, but
when it comes nearer home and
involves a member of your own
family, it is a tragedy beyond
the power of words to describe.
Home accidents rate surpris-
ingly high on the list of fatal
mishaps in the United States. We
are all well aware of the terrible
toll taken on the highways, but
accidents in bathrooms, on step
ladders, with electricity, involv-
ing heat and cooking, and es-
pecially the simple are of walk
ing stumbling and falling) take
a huge toll of lives each year.
One recommendation offered
to all those who might read this
editorial is that they seek to
remove sources of danger in their
home and its surroundings. This
may not be the most profound
advice you ever received, but it
may also save your life, or the
life of some one else, and the
reader would do well to think
a little about safety in his, or her
home as a means of preventing
tragic accidents.

HOW TO SAVE GASOLINE

The automobile industry has
offered a few tips to motorists
designed to save gasoline. Since
gasoline is already pretty ex-
pensive, and is going higher,
these tips are timely.
One of the tricks in saving
gasoline is to design your driv-
ing to be smooth and steady.
That is, quick starts and stops
should be eliminated, and one
should try to maintain a steady
pace on long trips.
Also, if speeds such as so or
so are maintained rather than
excessive speeds, gasoline will be
saved, although the trips will
require a little more time. 1t is
also suggested that you look
ahead at stop lights and adjust
speed so that you will not be
racing up to a red light, stop
ping, racing ahead to the next,
and SO forth.
Excessive engine idling is also
cautioned against, as a gas con-
sumner, and correct tuning of the
engine, and the use of lubricants
which are not heavier than those
recommended will also save gaso-
line.
Sparkplugs also affect gasoline
mileage and should be kept
clean - the motorist can do this
himself very easily on most mod

A recent analysis of achieve
ments of four hundred famous
men throughout history, mer
whose accomplishments came III
the fields of politics, government,
painting, military life, writing
and other categories, is highly
encouraging to all those who
think they are growing old.
The study revealed that more
than one-third of the four hun
dred famous men achieved their
greatest accomplishments after
they passed the age of sixty. An
other surprising twenty-three per
cent scored their greatest success
in life after they had passed the
age of seventy.
In other words, more than half
of the four hundred men achiev-
ed their fame after they were
sixty or seventy years of age.
Eight precent of the four hum
dred men made their greatest
mark in life after they had pass
ed the age of eighty.
Putting it another way, those
who hoped to make immortal
marks in the record of progress
by the human race, are handl-
capped if they seek to do so
before they are sixty years old.
OF course, the four hundred men
analyzed may not represent a
true picture, but this is GER
tainly indicative of the surpriS-
ingly large number of famous
men who achieve their fame at
somewhat advanced age.
So, if you r discouraged, or
feeling slightly battered at the
seams, and your bones do not
seem to be as active as they
we're when you were thirty or
forty, remember that your great
est days probably lie ahead. And,
certainly the above analysis in
dictates that a person is only as
cid as he or she feels. Actually,
ones mental attitude is the key
to the problem Of growing old
if such a problem develops.

GOODWILL is
THE ANSWER

In any community suffering
from acute social problems, c
clashing of interests, or other
growing pains, the community
will benefit if parties to disa-
greements maintain an attitude
of goodwill toward their fellow
men.
1t should always be remem-
bered that in this community, as
in every other community, we
must live and work together,
day by day. Statements, reflect
ing bitterness or selfish views
do not accomplish anything in
the way of harmony, progress II
better living and working con-
ditions.
On the other hand, if ones
views are expressed through the
medium OF good will and fair
ness, even divergent views can
be expressed without stirring an
tagonisms, personal resentment
and bitterness. This is something
all of our citizens should keep
in mind, in seeking to make this
community a better place in
which to live and work.
1t should also be remembered
that one loses his effectiveness
by assuming an extremist, or
radical approach to any prob
lem. A patient, fair-minded ap-
proach will usually develop sup
port among the majority of cit
liens, who almost always favor
moderation. On the other hand,
extremist views ALLEVIATE poten-
tial support, crystalize OPPOSE
ton and accomplish the exact op-
purpose from that intend
ed.
In summary, then, local citizens
should keep in mind that all of
us must live and work together
many years and that I'll prob
lens are mutual, which can be
worked out among us in a spirit
of goodwill, involving Christian
principles, and the freedom of
one to express his views, choose
a way of life which suits him.
