After leaving the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station on Dec. 4, the eight Americans, a Belgian and a Norwegian began one of the most unusual exploration treks in this century. It will take them on a zig-zag route through the largest unexplored region on earth. Late in 1969, the expedition will finish its route at a Belgian-Dutch research station on the cost of the Indian Ocean. It is now summertime in the Antarctic.

While summer at the South Pole is not the same as summer in Tail Holt, it is the best time of the year to travel the ice packs. The men will be flown out each summer, which is winter down there. The expedition has a number of missions, but the primary one is plotting the topography of the region. This is no easy task in an area where mountain ranges are buried in ice. But by detonating explosives and timing echoes, the explorers will record the first topographic outline of the region.

Although it is one of the more comprehensive projects, the trek across Antarctica is but one of 50 scientific investigations the United States is conducting at the South Pole, at a cost of $7 million to the National Science Foundation. As the U. S. enters its second decade of continued activity in Antarctica, it is joined by increasing numbers of expeditions from the Soviet Union, Australia, France, New Zealand and other countries. future potential may still be in doubt, but many nations have become convinced that whatever its potential, Antarctica has a future.

The Rush On Comsat Though it was designed to be a very speculative stock from the start, few appreciated how speculative. The reference is to the brand new baby on Wall Street, Comsat. That is the stock shorthand for Communications Satellite Corp. On the market only since June 2, Comsat shares came out at 20 dollars and have already tripled in value. And as with any other fever, this one has tended to feed on itself.

Trading has been so wild that the Wall Street Journal calls Comsat by far the most active issue on the Big Board today. This high degree of speculative interest has caused the New York Stock Exchange to take some unusual steps. For the first time in history a single stock has been placed under the 100 per cent margin requirement while all others remain a lesser requirement. Henceforth, purchasers of Comsat must come forward with all cold cash. The men who govern trading have not stopped there, So intense has speculative interest become that all short trading in Satellite shares has been prohibited.

Up to now this kind of hedging has been adding fuel to the fire. It was responsible in no small way for the fact that over a million shares were traded within a single week. Meanwhile, those who have fought for long term investments are probably sitting back smiling Though the company has not earned a dime and may not have any income for years, prospects would seem to be good. They will happily hold their stock and watch it go up in value. Making A President The next president and vice president of the United States were elected when the presidential electors met in the capitals of each of the states and the District of Columbia.

It was they, not the presidential candidates, who were actually elected on Nov. 3. Under the Constitution, they were free to vote for whomever they pleased and their choice will not become a matter of legal record until the state ballots are opened at a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. There are many who regard the Electoral College as an anachronism.

But unlike 1960 and other years when the popular vote for president was closely divided, or when a candidate obtained an Electoral College majority with only a minority of the popular vote, this time there is likely to be no revival of the demand for the Electoral abolition. The method of choosing the president was one of the most difficult problems of the constitutional convention of 1787. One group favored election by Congress, another by the state legislatures or gov emors, and a third by direct popular vote. For reasons that were discussed exhaustively at Philadelphia and, after 177 years, still have validity in the opinion of many political students, all these methods were rejected. The Electoral College, in which each state is given as many electors as it has representatives in both branches of Congress, to be chosen as the state legislatures determine, was regarded by such authorities as Madison and Hamilton as a victory for those who had advocated direct election of the president.

The theory of some historians that the presidential electors were to make the choice according to their own will and best judgment is not supported by the declarations of the convention delegates. They took it for granted the electors would reflect the views of the voters. After the 1960 election a Senate Judiciary subcommittee held hearings on proposals to alter or abolish the Electoral College. It found no popular support for anything drastic. Despite its shortcomings, the Electoral College seems destined to go on as now constituted.

Long discussion has shown the impossibility of obtaining agreement on an alternative, or even on the need lor an alternative. CONGRATULATIONS Mr. and Mrs. J. N.

Heavy Leasing Stirs Drilling Speculation Extensive oil leasing In western Navarro county in recent days by various Individuals has Increased local speculation on the significance of the move, and has pushed lease prices upward lately.

Leasing began some weeks ago, and opened at as little as $1 an acre. First official news was the leasing of about 27,000 acres, according to instruments filed here by Benz Oil Corporation Dec. 11. This week, 12,085 more acres in leases were filed and conveyed to Marshall Harrell. The going lease price now was reported unofficially this week at $5 an acre, with further leasing in prospect in a wide area of western and southwestern and northwestern Navarro county.

Benz has indicated that plans are for drilling test wells to about 6,000 feet. Depending on the area, this could tap several formations for testing, with the Cotton Valley and the Smack over being the most likely, according to speculation. Although it cannot be vari fied, major companies are thought to be behind the leasing activities. Some persons handling the actual leasing are known to be buyers for major companies. Local operators think that exploratory wells drilled in the past year have indicated gas showings coming from an unknown source, and that this is an effort to find the source, in the hope that it will be profitable.

Local independents, for the most part, are staying out of the leasing. A few larger independents are thought to be interested. In the absence of a single, profitable well in the leased area, the chances of leasing going higher in price are considered speculative. Children Offer Church Program FROST, Dec. 23 dren's department of the Frost Methodist church presented their annual Christmas program Sunday at 10 a.m.

Frank Williams and Mrs. Williams. The gift was a stainless steel 30-cup coffee maker and an electric can opener. Winter Grain Mites Found County Agricultural Agent Gene Sears reports two mild cases of winter grain mites have been discovered in Navarro county. They were In a field near Purdon and In a field near neither of them sufficient to justify spraying, Sears explained.

He has received information on winter grain mites causing damage to some small grain in north central Texas from Texas area entomologist, H. A. Turney. Turney reports: "Damage is worse in fields that have been planted to small grain for four or five years in a row. Heavily infested fields have a grayish or silvery appearance which is due to the loss of chlorophyll caused by the feeding of the mites.

Mites feed at night and on cloudy days and usually hide in the ground on bright, sunny days. Light, loose soils are favorable for mite development. The mites cannot survive in soils that are packed by heavy grazing in those that have a hard surface crust. Maximum populations occur around February 1 for the first generation and April 1 for the second Information as to chemicals to be used for the control of the mites is available free through the county office. rLANS and Mrs.
