Scientist, on Sunday. Nov. 12.
The Golden Text was, "The

(Isa. 45:11, 12). -
The Lesson-Sermon also includ

Mary Baker Eddy: "Man in the
likeness of God as revealed in
Science cannot help being im-

Ready for the Antarctic Trail
NORFOLK, VA.—When Rear Admiral Byrd sailed
• ’ the other day for the South Pole, old-time explorers
called his the most perfectly organized and equipped
expedition ever to leave American waters.
By actual count, there were more than 12,000 separate
items of exploration equipment aboard the two Byrd ships,
but this in itself did not impress the Polar veterans. What
did impress them, however, was the fact that every article
of equipment carried by the expedition had been selected
only after months of experiments and painstaking research
The special ski boots which Admiral Byrd and his men
will wear on their second dash to the.
South Pole are an illustration. Know
ing that men’s lives in the Polar wastes
depend upon strong footgear, the ad
miral personally collaborated with the
experts of the Thom Me An shoe fac
tories in New England in designing ■
these unusual boots With the experts I

frequent, and winds of 200 miles an
hour not uncommon, and how best to

all, he insisted, boots for Polar wear
must be BIG. For if the explorer is to
—
be efficient on the trail, his footgear must be large enough
to permit the use of a thick felt innersole, have toe room
for a big wad of Arctic moss to absorb moisture, and still
admit feet clad in several pairs of heavy woolen stockings
Subsequently they experimented, designed and discarded
Admiral Byrd (above)
and the ski boot he de
signed for service at the
bottom of the world. It
weighs 2%2 pounds and is
called the strongest boot
ever made.
until they were agreed on a model which offered maximum
protection to the explorers.
The ski boot pictured above represents the fruit of their
collaboration. It weighs 2% pounds and Admiral Byrd calls
it the strongest boot ever manufactured for Polar wear.
