"Just a little over a year ago at a meeting of the stockholder of this company, all of the factors affecting the future of their com pany were reviewed. This review caused the stockholder to vote to liquidate. They believed that the economic prospects of their com pany in the fiercely competitive textile industry would not justify continuing in business.

Jeep-like weasels and two medium-sized tractors do the heaviest work, such as bulldozing deep cuts on the snow for burying waste, digK''lt ollt heavy airdrop material and smoothing the snow-packed runway for airplane landings. Hut when the temperature dip to -00 or lower even machinery often fails. Then there is nothing but human muscle to take it place. Hundreds of barrels of oil and gasoline, each weighing 450 pounds, have to be stacked, two high, and this can be done only by hand. Most of the time they have to be moved by hand us they are used.

The pole's famou snow mine is another center of hard labor. This is a downward sloping tunnel from which the station get its water. It is now more than U0 feet deep. The temperature there stay at about -00. Every man ha to spend at least two hours a week mining snow and man-hauling it to the top for melting.

The men ho far have brought up P.lii tons of hard-packed snow. Besides the barrel wrangling and snow mine work there Is always a backlog of machinery and instrument maintenance and upkeep and the constant battle to keep the camp buildings Intact against the assault of cold and wind. Everybody, including Lt. Vern Houk, physician and station military commander, and Palle Mogen.sen, scientific leader, must do menial work. This mean work in the galley and mess hall; "house-mouse" duty in keeping living quarters shipshape, and snow shoveling to keep interconnecting ti.nnels and other passages free of drifting snow.

On holiday everybody gets his own breakfast. This gives the cook, Chester V. Scgers, of Paw-tucket, It. a re.st from his ev-everyday chores, which extend almost around the dock. Besides tlie regular three meals, diet usually has cinnamon rolls on hand to go with coffee at all hours.

All thin wuik, plus the additional time needed for personal care, leaves only a short day for what the nine international geophysical year scientist here call "productive tffott" their scientific work. Ihe group which just completed its over-winter assignment came out with high ruoiale and great praise for its leader. Dr. Paul Siple, the ICY chief, and l.t. John Tuck, Auburn, the military leader.

Mogensen and Houk, their successors, have started the second year with plans for further improving the station and adding to its scientific achievement. Mevenson was hospitalized in Charlotte with a broken leg, Mrs. Curry was hospitalize in Rock Hill. Neither was believed serious ly injured. Moody said no charges were MERRY CHRISTMAS QUESTIONS and dointt K.

Much of the labor Roes into dig-KinK out of the snow barrels of oil, machinery and boxed supplies which have been airdropped, and miin-haulinK the stuff several hundred yards to the station or to a storaxe urea. The work is extraordinarily hard for two reasons. The cold ranges from -L'O down. If you manage to avoid frostbite, the rarefied air still can make it The altitude nearly 10,000 feet.

There are only a few human settlement in the world at or above the level, and all the other are in more temperate climate. Hut the healthy human system adapts itself to altitude and to some extent to the cold. After a few days in thin air, the body begins prnduciriK extra numbers of red blood cells, which are the oxygen carriers. In three or four weeks a man with this extra supply of oxyirrn supplier can (jet aloriK fairly well. Th" 8 men who wintered here for the first time assert they enjoyed the experience.

K. W. Hem-innton, glacioloist of Hethesda, wanted to stay another year, but his bosses said no. Aside from the IS who just finished their Bthitrnment and the 17 men who miceceded them, the Pole station ha had less than two dozen visitors.
