Writer Tells Experience With Snow Blindness on Expedition To Antarctic Editor note: One of the most ter rifying experiences encountered by Polar explorers it mow blindness, caused by the glare of the sun re flected on endless expanses of snow. The victim goes blind temporarily and suffers extreme pain. If he is alone it can mean death. Davis Merwln, United Press correspondent ' with op eration "Deep Freeze" in the Antarc tic, tells in the following dispatch what It's like. He went through It. By DAVIS MERWIN United Press Correspondent Aboard Icebreaker Glacier, McMurdo Sound, Antarctica U.PJ Snow blindness is like a sunburn. You don't know you're getting it until it's too late. I had spent two days at the burgeoning metropolis of Hut Point on McMurdo Sound where the American expedition "Deep Freeze" is setting up one of its principal Antarctic bases. There were acres of volcanic ash, makeshift radio communica tions, tents, lumber, prefab pan els, half-assembled buildings, fuel drums, storage tanks, pipe lines and a seemingly endless confusion of human activity.

It was rest ful at 'the time. Searched for Water Each morning we rolled out of our sleeping bags and search ed for the lone "fresh water lake" to wash up. It's about 20 paces long and impossible to find with glasses dark enough to afford protection. I think that's where the snow blindness entered, looking for a puddle in a blizzard. At the end of the second day I returned here to the ship. All seemed well until about mid night when I awakened with a burning sensation in my eyes. I doused them with cold wa ter. N help. I tried it again, and a third time. It got worse. I asked the midwatch- hospital man for something to calm my upset stomach. Eye Are Packed By morning my eyes felt like there was gravel under the lids. The doctor packed them with a gelatin-like substance and gave me a sedative. The gelatin turned the gravel to hot sand. For five days I was plagued by searing jabs and twitching eyelids, inducing what is called photophobia, absolutely no de sire to see any light. In my mind's eye I saw green pastures, lush forests and cool mountains. Then it was time to take my first tentative squint ' at the nearest bulkhead. A glance through the portholes was for bidden, and I had no desire to violate the rules. I'm now having my first glimpse at printed type in five very long days.

Read and Use Classified Ads The Community's Biggest Marketplace Signs Indicate Old West Dying Out; Sight ot Horse Makes Buffalo Nervous By H. D. QUIGG New York flJ.PJ The Old West is dying! It's so far gone that even the sight of a horse makes the buffalo nervous. They're used to being herded with jeeps. ! That's the word Of Les Price, proprietor of the country's larg est buffalo herd. He's superin tendent of the 72,000-acre Custer State Park in South Dakota. "The buffalo herdsmen have jeeps now, and the herd is used to them," Price -said in an inter view. "The buffalo will attack a horse and kill it, now. If you ride out in there among 'em with a horse, you're in trouble." The Custer park herd numbers about 1500 head after the "win ter kill." The herd has to be reduced twice a year by expert marksmen to keep it from get ting bigger than the range's grasslands feeding capacity. Conservation measures have brought the North American buf falo population back to around 100,000, Price said, from its low of fewer than 6000 around the turn of the century when hunt ers slaughtered them for the skins, at $2 a skin.-Before the white hunter. came, 60 to 100, 000,000 buffalo roamed over an area now covered by 34 states. A full grown buffalo bull weighs 2400 to 3000 pounds, stands 6Vi feet tall, is faster than a horse. Almost unani mously, they refuse to be buffa loed, by anything. Price recalls one instance of a buffalo in the road in the way of a bus loaded with tourists. "The driver decided to trv to nudge him off the road," Price said. "Well, a bull loses his tem per just like that. This one nudged right back. He busted up the front end of the bus, and they had to get another bus to take the tourists out. "We've got a dozen jeeps that we use in herding. A jeep weighs about half what a ma ture bull. does. I've seen a buf falo cave in the back end of a jeep with one kick." : FECIAL SALE!
