Crews at 'Operation Deepfreeze'
Anxiously Wait Hatching of Eggs
Washington (U.R) Navy
men of the "Operation Deep
freeze" expedition to the South
Pole region are sweating out an
historic blessed event.
Sometime this week end. if
all goes well, the first chicken
ever hatched within the Antarc
tic Circle will peck its way
through an eggshell in an im
provised incubator at Little
America.
If the Navy's pioneering poul-try-culturists
are lucky and
they've been incredibly lucky
so far there may even be
three or four "real cool chicks"
vouches for the truth of the fol
lowing account:
Last month, the expedition's
Globemaster transport planes re
turned to Antarctica from New
Zealand, where they had been
sent some weeks earlier to await
repairs to landing strips.
The planes brought with them
' a huge supply of fresh produce,
including fruits, vegetables, and
several crates of eges which had
been purchased in New Zealand
stores.
No special protection was giv
en to the eggs on the 3,000-mile
flight from New Zealand to the
at Little America by next Mon- main expedition base at McMur-
dav
"These," says Lt. Robert J.
Adams of Memphis, Tenn., the
dental officer who is presiding
over the incubator, "will be fab
O ulous fowl.
'When you consider what the
eggs have been through, you al
most expect the chicks to hatch
wearing earmuffs and muk
luks." Story Radioed

to the vibration of the huge
transport planes and to the ex

tudes. At McMurdo Sound, the eggs
were unloaded in sub - zero
weather. Four dozen were
dropped by parachute to the ad

Pole. Not a shell was cracked.
Several dozen were placed
aboard a Navy ski plane which
flew them to Little America on

Mr. Eisenhower has not been
getting in much golf lately. Ac
cordingly, he may need some
tune-up sessions before going to
Bermuda to meet the British
Prime Minister, Harold Mac
millan. British sources report that
Macmillan plans to bring along
his golf clubs, which should de
light the President. In 1953 at
Bermuda, neither of Mr. Eisen
hower's conferees Prime Min
ister Sir Winston Churchill nor
French Premier Joseph Laniel
played golf.
The President and Macmillan
will be staying at Bermuda's
Mid-ocean Club, which is literal
ly surrounded by a golf course.
Suice they'll both have their
golf sticks along, a game seems
inevitable.

A report was read from the

The council voted to have Supt.

An ordinance was passed
which provides for the vacation
of First st. between the homes of
Ralph Bell and H. D. Force ex
tending from Fourth ave. north
to the south line of the alley
next north of and parallel to
Fourth ave.
Approval was given by the
council for a sewer line to be
installed in Dekum amended ad
dition, providing property own
ers give permission for the right
of way.
A water main will be installed
to replace the present line from
the alley south of Fifth ave. on
First st. for an estimated 708
feet. Sufficient fire hydrants
will be included in the installa

curiosity, he badgered ship's
cook Richard H. Banasiak of
Ballston Lake, N. Y., to let him
find out if any of the eggs were
fertile. Banasiak finally released
six of the precious eggs. Adams
placed the eggs in a dental in
cubator used for research on oral
flora, and set the temperature at
100 degrees fahrenheit.
"Eight days later, on Feb. 25,"
radioed Chaplain Zollar, "Dr.
Adams with baited breath
candled the eggs. He was elated
to find two positive embryos and
two possibles."
"The dental laboratory is now
the crossroads of Little Ameri
ca," the chaplain reported.
"Everyone wants to see the
eggs. Strict visiting hours have
been set up. Unrest is tremen
dous. There is much speculation
among all hands as to sex, -color,
breed and birthdate of our
chicks."
The last word from Little

is expected to hatch tomorrow
or Sunday.
