Valley Man Returns
From South Pole
Allen J. Cotton, construe
tion mechanic third class m
the Seabees. recently returned
to the Rogue valley area from
the South Pole for a 13-day
leave.
Cotton and his wife. Patri
cia, live at 302 B St., Phoenix.
While at the South Pole he
was stationed at the Navy's
McMurdo Sound base as a ve
hicle mechanic.
He said he spent the summer
season in the base, which is
just the reverse seasons of
the northern hemisphere. Cot
ton arrived at the airbase just
after Christmas and left on
March 11. Although traveling
by ship between Christ
Church, Ne Zealand, and Ant-
artica. he said he was trans-
ported by plane back to the
United State on April 3.
Summer Weather
Summer weather in Ant
arctica is as high as 30 above
and as low as 20 below, he
explained. Most of the cold
weather is of the dry-cold
type and is not as noticeable
as cold weather in the Rogue
valley, he said.
Cotton said he worked out
doors in shirt sleeves some
of the time because of the
warm sun. He noted a restric
tion that no man could leave
the base alone because of sud
den snowstorms which can ap
pear. During the winter, now
in progress, he said the re
quirement is three men in a
party.
He said he attended a several-month
preparation school
at Davisville, R. I. before leav
ing for the South Pole last
year. Most work at the school
is for personal conditioning
he added.
Special Diet
A special diet is fed the men
while stationed at the pole.
He said while a normal ration
is 3,000 calories per day, the
normal at the pole is 6,000
per day to make the necessary
body fat for heat. He said the
men are served excellent food
while stationed there.
Cotton said he worked 12
hoyr shifts during his duty

tour and often would find the
sun shining when he got off
work at midnight. Most forms
of activities were movies, a"
workout at the gym or one of
several hobby facilities pro
vided. About 90 men out of the 200
stationed at the sound will

said he is seriously consider
ing asking for duty in Antarc
tica next year but could not
say what his wife thinks about
the idea.

Human Chain Fails
To Save Driver
Huntington, Ore. (IP) A
human chain, speedly formed
after a car was seen to plunge
into the Burnt river near here
"early Saturday failed to reach
the driver, perched atop his
vehicle, before he was swept
away down the swift river
toward its confluence with
the even swifter Snake river.
State police said the car
was owned by Douglas Kemp
about 52, of Hood River, a
mechanic working for Morri-son-Knudsen
company on a
railroad bridge under conT
struction near here, and they
presumed he was the driver
who was swept downriver.
They and other law enforce

for the, body.
