Berliners could keep warm Children got to used to dr red milk they refused to dr the real thing when the blockade ended All that was long ago but it is still remembered vividly Talk to a Berliner about economic conditions and mention food electricity coal Is Stronger Economically West Berlin today is in a stronger economic condition than at any time since the war This can be expressed in terms of gross national production industrial turnover employment figures But to the average West Bcr-iner it means a glittering modern city with elegant shops displaying goods from all over the world shiny cars huge new factories bustling banks swank restaurants It means the ability to withstand a new blockade or the threat of one Politically it means that 2200' 000 people have the morale am the determination to oppose Soviet Nikita demand that the city be made rij or a Communist takeover stripping it of western troops The Berlin crisis now more than two years old has failed to shatter either the isolated economy or morale Last year waa even better than 1959 and 1961 should be even better than 1960 To Mayor Willy Brandt the economic boom is proof that West Berlin is not a center of unrest as the Communists claim Unemployment Shrunk He correctly points out that West Berliners want to five and develop in peace that they will do nothing to provoke incidents that could threaten their well being The Berlin boom is best illustrated by the unemployment figures In 1950 the city had 310000 unemployed For every 19 persons employed there were 10 others seeking job Those who hoped unemployment could be reduced to 100000 were considered visionaries Last year unempTqyment shrunk from 32000 to 27000 Just about everyone who wanted a job had one Industrial production climbed to a new high end gained more than in West Germany Here are other proofs of the city's economic health: product increased 13 per cent to $21 billion deposits increased so did real estate sales and Berlin stocks more than held their own in the unprecedented German market boom All this Mayor Brandt asserts shows that the Soviet campaign to isolate the city has failed and West Berlin is thrivii before in US to lad

excess salt in their bodies resulting from their intake of sea water Although the roll call of birds and animals on this remote continent is short indeed the penguin at least hat been so well publicized that he has become the internationally recognized symbol of Antarctica Out except for an occasional penguin who wanders into camp Navy-men seldom see these plavful and colorful birds Much more common around McMurdo are the vicious skuas and the Weddell seals Food in the Sea 'The skua is a rapacious gulllike creature which preys primarily on nesting penguins and their young This noisy bird has little fear of man and will attack on the slightest provocation The Weddell seal often suns itself on the Ross Sea Ice which fronts McMurdo A favorite "tourists" attraction in Antarctica is a visit to New Zealand's Scott Base where mother seals and their pups are abundant Besides seals skuas and penguins a few tiny mites and insects just about complete the list of fauna The only seed plants are a single species of sturdy grass and a tiny flowering These hardy plants grow in the few patches of earth that are bare of snow during the months of the Antarctic summer The seas surrounding Antarctica however are almost the exact opposite Scientists have estimated that one-acre of Antarctica sea water contains more food and life than one-acre of land or water found any place else in the world Some of the types of life found in Antarctica live on the continent or the pack ice but they are dependent on the sea for their food The largest animal in the area is the blue whale This warm blooded animal sometimes grows to a length of 90 feet and weighs much as ISO tons Collection of Faets One type of Antarctic dolphin has been named the killer whale These animals are the most savage of all beasts They hunt in packs and will attack even the great blue whale When they see a man or seal or bird on the ice they dive deep under the ice and have been known to break ice three feet thick to dump their prey in the water So far as is known however no man has been eaten by a killer whale Here are a few more interesting facts gathered together by Captain A McDonald USN Deputy Commander Task Force 43 and Commander of the Amundsen Sea Expedition: People may have lived in the Antarctica many years ago In 1893 a Norwegian aealer found on Seymour Island about SO clay balls perched on pillars of the same material he reported "had the appearance of having been made by human Antarctica once had a temperate or semi-tropical climate Numerous tropical ferns and plant life have been found im bedded in rock on Palmer Peninsula and in the coal seams in the Upper Beacon Sandstone of the Baerdmore Glacier some 300 miles from the South Pole Objects hundreds rf miles away sometimes may be seen clearly by the naked eye in the Antarctic This peculiarity known as looming may have been responsible for a portion of sightings by atmosphere condition which meteorologists term an inver-' sion: warmer layers of air existing above colder ones cause light rays from the object to the eye to be curved concavely downward toward the surface Land of Ice and Snow There are no polar bears or land animals in the Antarctic The intense cold and sterility of Antarctic air preserves food and materials almost indefinitely As an example corned beef canned beans and sugar cached by the Swedish explorer Nor-denskjold provided a most satisfactory meal for a British sup vey party 45 years later The print on a magazine too was as readable as ever They mine for water at the South Pole Since the only water available is that which can be melted from snow and low temperatures frequently prevent sustained activity outside water for a station at the South Pole is obtained from germ-free snow blocks dug from a snow mine which can be reached directly from the station living quarters The round barrel-hulls of the Navy icebreakers prevent them from becoming crushed in Antarctic ice This peculiar construction enables them to pop up if pressure reaches dangerous proportions Shackleton's ENDURANCE was crushed and lost in the Weddell Sea in 1915 because the ice was able to exert force
