the general climate Of the
world 1000 years ago.
At least. believes DR.. Chester
c. Langway Of the Show and
Ice Basic Research Branch here,
the ice cap is the thermometer
Of the ages, revealing the cyclic
ups and downs of climate which
are believed to have taken
place, probably because Of fiuc-
tuations In solar radiation. II
all depends on celebration Of
this thermometer. So in the
middle Of the ice cap many
cores Of ice are being COL
lected.
The core obtained from deep
drilling last summer was broken
down into yearly stratieraphic
units by density measurements
and visual examination. It is
estimated from these studies
that ice at the ,OOO-foot depth
level fell as snow during the
18th century. Selected portions
of the core were melted and
filtered to recover any particles
that might be contained in the
ice, especially for volcanic ash
from the Mount Katmai and
Krakatoa eruptlons in 1912 and
1893. Snow cores believed To
represent the period from 1874
to 1856 were sent to the UNI
versity Of Chicago for deter
mination Of the yearly increase
Of tritium-triple weight n.y.
drogen and an atomic bomb
product--in the earth's atmos-
|phere. Tritium atoms or mole
cules would be captured by
snow fakes. At the Engineer
Corps laboratories at Wilmette,
nj. studies are being made Of
the change in the structure Of
ice with depth.
OF Fundamental Interest
Studies are being continued
this summer on the change in
ice structure and entrapped
air bubbles as q depth function.
Selected cores are being sent
back to the United States for
complete analysis Of gas con-
tent. The change in structure
of q crystal as q function Of
time and pressure, the engi-
neers explain, is Of fundamental
interest in many fields Of
physics. such as metallurgy and
crystalography.
Drilling apparatus has been
specially designed for the work.
Last year compressed air was
used to remove ice cuttings
from the drill holes and special
equipment was designed to. cool
the air to the required tenn
perature. One hole was drilled
1000 feet deep. Based on this
experience 1t is hoped to reach
1000 feet, or well into the
10th century. this year.

On the average, fewer than

For purposes of enlightenment,

TN the past months many
large circulation syndicates
have published both fiction and
nonfiction which used the fol-
lowing cliches: He treated me

from him.: "They avoided me
as If I were a leper";; loathsome
as q leper."

without any intent to harm.
However. they are q disastrous
blow to the morale Of patients
with Hansen's Disease for

also reinforce public prejudice
against those who have had
Hansen's Disease and who are
now noninfectious. Occasional
novels or short stories with
plots based on inaccurate, SEN
sational concepts Of the disease
also keep alive the stigma still
directed ct present or former
patients.

am asking your aid in eliminate
