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.

j commerce department discuss
es what its authors called the
"first find of ancient spores
in Antarctica." .
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.

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

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. .

A cloud of dust rose from
the firepit Tuesday as the re

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

similar to the conditions that
existed Sunday,, when the
floor of the pit fell more
than 360 feet.
Siesmologist Jerry P. Eaton
