f S A ) II 1 1 ; it .if Discoveries Hint Antarctica Once Fertile Continent Washington - (CPU - Soviet scientists have reported dis coveries which suggest that now-frozen Arftartica was a fertile continent 200 to 300 million years ago. Together with finds of other scientists, the . new evidence indicates that the South Pole continent was warm once and received considerably more sunlight than it gets now. This suggests to some scien tists that the various conti nents shifted their relative positions on the earth's face in ' the remote past or that there was a change in the planet's axis of rotation.

Ten kinds of spores, prov ing past existence of fern-like plants, plus unidentified frag ments of plant tissue were dis covered in ancient antarctic rock formations believed to be 200 to 300 million years old. ' Scientists here were inter ested in the Russian report but took exception to the So viet claim that Russia was first to discover plant remains near the South Pole. It was recalled that Swedish explor ers found traces of ancient vegetable matter in Antarc tica back in 1901. Plant Pollen Found More recently New Zealand and Australian scientists have found a variety of spores and plant pollen in Antarctica. Dr. Lucy M. Cramwell of New Zealand last year report ed evidence, perhaps 60 mil lion years old, that forests once grew in Antarctica like those common now in south ern South America. Dr. George Llano, Amer ican lichenologist who has done research in Antarctica, said this evidence and the ex istence of coal in Antarctica indicated the continent got mor sun light in times past than it does now. Coal beds are fossilized vegetation. Such vegetation had to have lots of sunlight to live and thrive. Oregonian Killed In 'Copter Crash : Norfolk, Va.-(UPD-A former Oregon man, Lt. Cmdr.

Each article is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on problems that have been dealt win by responsible agencies and counselors Verna D. I want to enjoy life. Joe D. Parties and vaca-. tions bore me. Vema D. - My husband and I are in our late 40's and re cently married off the young est of our four children. Now that they have gone and we are still young and in good health I want to enjoy life as much as possible. I want to socialize, take short trips, do a little globe-trotting, in general do exciting things. Fortunately, we are financially able to do this. My husband insists his busi ness needs him in spite of the fact that two of our sons, our daughter and on-in-law are all there to see that things go well. I feel estless, depress ed and bored. My husband's only- answer is that he can give me a job in his business. I hate that place. Joe D. I've been telling Verna for years that she ought to take up some hobby or club work the way other wouen do. But she always says she isn't interested in that kind of thing. I think it's ideal for a woman whose chil dren are grown. As for me, I know that when I'm away one day my business- goes haywire. My children are learning gradu ally, bui there's a long way for them to go before I can feel free of responsibility. Frankly, I don't care much for vacations and parties. I'm the one to feel restless and bored at those times. When I'm not working, I like a couple of rounds of golf and that's it. What's the sense of going to Europe when you have no taste for cathedrals, museums or foreign foods? Verna may say I'm crazy, but I still think she'd enjoy work ing in the business. The Council: Joe seems to be clutching his business in terror in the way that some mothers do their children. Fearful at being left at a loose end, such mothers insist their children need them. They fail to recognize that both they and the children could move on to a fuller life if they re laxed that grip. Joe should consider whether he may have his business in a stranglehold in which the younger mem bers of the family have no freedom to develop and move with the times. Apparently Verna isn't that kind of mother. She has solv ed one half of the prob'em by not clasping her children in a steel grip, but the fact that she has been left without re sources shows that she may DICK KNIGHT CO. Plymouth - DeSoto - Valiant 33 So. Riverside at 8th St. new car - - KN G have depended . too much on their need of her. We think both Verna and Joe can profit by one thought. This is that having 'an interest in things is like having money in the bank. You can't take anything out unless you have put something in. It is late, but not too late, for both Verna and Joe to put some thing in. Verna is too quick to spurn the hobby, club work' or job her husband suggests. She ought to. look into all these things and she may find great reserves of ability and enthu siasm she never suspected. On the other hand, Joe should recognize that it takes a willingness to relax, enough to really talk to people and look at them to be able to enjoy both sociability and travel.. One can't know wheth er one cares for cathedrals, museums or foreign foods un less there has been an easy and unprejudiced exposure to them. Many tourists enjoy travel simply to look at dif ferent vistas and people. We think, however, that if Joe and Verna are willing to work a bit to expand their mental horizons they can get much more fun out of both travel and daily life at home. There are museums in this country too, in which one can get some background in art. There are also courses and books through one can learn history and languages. Too many people cross such things out of their lives in the mis taken idea that they haven't the capacity to learn. . (Copyright 1960. General Features Corp.) Quakes Studied In Volcano Area Volcano, Hawaii-IUPD-Scien-tists at Volcano Observatory kep '; a careful watch for another floor collapse at the Halemaumau firepit today fol lowing a series of earthquakes which shook buildings and cars. A cloud of dust rose from the firepit Tuesday as the re sult of a rock slide touched off by a temblor. Half a dozen other quakes were felt, and smaller ones were recorded every minute or so. The pattern of earthquakes and the amount of steam ris ing from the firepit were similar to the conditions that existed Sunday,, when the floor of the pit fell more than 360 feet. Siesmologist Jerry P. Eaton said the floor "could collapse again," but stressed that he was not predicting anything. Invites you to SEE VALIANT During DEALER DAYS Wall Street Chatter New York (UPD There's some technical justification for projecting a continuation of the declining trend follow ing one month of exceptional weakness, says Auchincloss, Parker & Redpath. In 1929, the October col lapse was part of a declining trend that involved three months, the firm adds. "The major portion of the 1937 bear .market took place in September and October. Aug ust and September accounted for most of the important in termediate decline in 1946." The firm points out that during the new era bull mar ket from 1954 to 1959 the im portant reactions, with one exception, involved , two or three months. . "These were September-October 1955, August-September 1956, January February 1957, August - Sep tember, October 1957 and August-September 1959." The Fitch Survey says Rock Island is an interesting rail speculation. ". . . the situation is viewed as possessed of little downside risk : at ' current levels, and a continuance of the improvement in business conditions could exert a stimu lating upside impact market wise . . ." Spear & Staff discusses the market outlook for Delta Air Lines: "additional break - in costs of new jets seem likely to put further pressure on earnings. We regard Delta as an excellent holding in the airline group, which should return to favor after the pres ent transition period is end ed." "The way it looks now, the market could very possibly doublecross the experts and make its low in the first half of the year, and its high in the second half," says Ed mund W. Tabell of Walston & Co.
