Ho was gutst of the Nar during Operation Deep Freeze 80. in which two Navy icebreaker went in the Bellingshausen sea area. Today's article concerns the trip homeward and a visit in Buenos Aires.) By HERB GREY Mail Tribune Advertising Manager Buenos Aires's narrow streets seem continually filled with people. The uncombed Bridget Bardot hairdo is def initely "in." Everywhere the dark-eyed Argentine girls, and older women too, have affected the style and generally it is "muy bonita!" Old world formality continues to dictate men's dress. The well dressed young Argentine does not think of attend ing the movies without a coat and necktie. Big department stores and smaller shops clustered in galleries are centered in and nearby picturesque Avenida Florita. Galerias Pacifico, Galeria Santa Fe and other groups of smaller shops are brightened by gayly colored murals on the ceilings and walls. One tiny shop with the impressive name "La Cruz del Sur" (t.ie Southern Cross) is located in Galerias Pacifico, with a typical tourists' assortment of goucho dolls. Argentine spoons, ponchos, carpets and shawls. Two delightful ladies from Denmark who spoke English were proprietors. La Cruz del Sur became a popular shopping place for Glacier crew members. Avenida Florida is closed to automobile traffic most of the day and the narrow 20-foot street is crowed with gay Argentine bargain seekers. When Argentine ambassador Emilio del Carril visited in San Francisco April 14 he told how his countrymen are buckling down to an austerity program to balance the nation al budget. Senor del Carril's austerity program was not ap parent in this Buenos Aires shopping center. There are handy "cambios" on Calle San Martin and Avenida de Mayo, too, where visitors from other countries may change their currency for pjsos. Twice we dined at the at tractive Club Americano, oc cupying four floors of a large building on Avenida Cordons. From the eighth floor balcony of this club, Arthur Beaumont, Herb Nichols and I could gaze across at the old opera house and on to the beautiful Ave nida 9 de Julio, the widest avenue in the world, with its beautiful trees and sidewalk cafes. It was pleasant, here at Club Americano, to again hear the 90ft stereophonic strains of old favorites like "Oklahoma as we dined. One evening at this club we discussed the forthcoming Argentine elections with a couple from Missouri who had lived in this country for sev eral years. A joint force of police and national gendarme ri had raided 1,600 homes in the city in a search for sus pected terrorist supporters of ousted dictator Juan Peron. President A r t u r o Frondizi seems to be a highly contro versial figure in Argentine politics. 'Stocked Up' The Missourians told us that they, like other Americans in Buenos Aires, had "stocked up" for election day, March 27, and would not appear on the streets on that day. Sub sequent reports told of facts on terrorism and bombings when Argentines went to the polls the week after we sailed. The only terrorists I saw were Argentine motorists. They drive with complete abandon and pedestrians must leap for their lives on narrow streets. To compound the con fusion, street cars hurry down one side of 20-foot streets, brushing the narrow side walks. When darkness falls, Buenos Aires motorists drive even faster; use only parking lights or no lights at all while rush ing along the city's not-too-well;lighted streets. The sys tem is certainly easier on the eyes, but definitely harder on the nerves if you happen to be a pedestrian. Visit Glacier About 50 Argentine or phans, spic and span in little uniforms, were guests on the Glacier Sunday afternoon, March 20. After a trip over the ship the youngsters were entertained with movies, ice cream and cookies. The U.S. Navy never seems to overlook a bet when it comes to furthering good in ternational relations. "La Prensa", the "Herald" and other Buenos Aires newspa pers had already given the Glacier's visit wide news cov erage.

The big, gray-haired Firpo met me with a friendly "mucho gusto en conocrle" and crush ed my hand in a mitt that once sent Jack Dempsey sprawling out of a New York prize ring during a world's championship bout. Grant Powers, brother of Jimmy Powers of "Cavalcade of Sports" fame and once a sports writer himself, was host to Firpo. Grant w.'.s one of the newspapermen who boosted Dempsey back into the ring to beat Firpo in that historic fight 27 years ago. Fame as Artist Wherever my cabin-mate, Arthur Beaumont, goes his fame as an artist preceeds him. In Buenos Aires he has been commissioned to prepare a 20 painting exhibition at the Gal leria Fotografia Whitcomb for October, 1960. Plans for the showing were discussed at one I of South America's most dis tinguished artist's home studio where an attractive model had been posing. The famous artist said that he and his wife had speculated as to .the reaction of their small daughter should she un expectedly see a nude model posing for her Daddy. Of course, it happened. One day the studio door was care lessly left unlocked, the little girl popped in, and gazed with astonishment at a young lady posing without clothes. She turned and rushed to her mother and a liberal transla tion from Portuguese of her indignant exclamation went something like this: "Look, Mom, you let her go barefoot, why can't I?" Excellent Subway System Buenos Aires' excellent sub way system was worth inves tigating. For only two cen- tavos you can ride across the big city and that's a real bar gain. Just to see the beautiful murals which line the walls of the subway stations is worth much more than two centavos. Note to Tourists: The ven erable Shorthorn Grill at Av. Corrientes is the place to en joy tender baby beef. For ro mantic atmosphere with soft music, flowers and wonderful food, just step downstairs off the lounge at the Hotel Shel ton.

Because of the color of the Europe charm of this beautiful city. The towering 42-story Atlas building, tallest in all South America, seems out of place in a city with such beauty spots as the Plaza Mayo and the Cabildo, the old Spanish city hall. Cruise Along Coast After cruising north along , the coast of South America j for the next four days, the Glacier headed coast-ward j into what the tourist pam-! phlets describe as "the most beautiful harbor in the world." They are right! It was not difficult to imag ine the enlhusiasm of the Portuguese explorer, Goncalo Coelho, who first entered this bay in 1502. It was on Jan. 1, and Coelho, thinking it the mouth of a great river, named it Rio de Janeiro . (River of January). Slowly the Glacier slipped past old fortresses in the bay constructed during the 18th Century for protection against attacks of the French. It seems the French Huguenots, under Admiral Villegiagon, who had arrived during thd early 16th century, were the city's first settlers. The French werp soon driven out by the Portuguese. It was only 71 years aRo that Brazil became a republic. Scio Teen-Agers Found by Searchers Scio, Ore. (UP!) Four Scio teen-agers missing overnight on a fishing trip in the foot hills of the Cascade mountains east of here were found safe and sound at 6:30 a.m. Mon day. The four, two boys and two girls, were on a fishing trip Sunday near the headwaters of Thomas creek. They failed to return home and a search was launched after their car was found parked on a nar row road in the area. The four were Ronnie Bilyeu, 18; Janice Carter and Lonnie Marks! both 17, and Glenda Longbird, 16. The search was conducted by the Linn county sheriff's o . TT o go y v 5 Section B Medford MEDFORD, The Common Housefly Really Not So Common It is impossible to drown fly by holding its head under water. But if the last segment of the abdomen is submerged, death from suffocation results. Along the side of the fly's body are a series of tiny open ings like portholes in a ship. Through these openings the fly receives its air. It is these pores, or spiracles, that are acted upon by various insecti cides that cause the insect's death. The fly's brain, what there is of it, is located in the stom ach, right on the floor of the body cavity. Here is the j:me tion point or control center where all the nerve ends meet and the decisions are made. It is not called a brain, but a ganglion. Doesn't Suffer Cut a fly's head off, and eventually the fly will starve to death, but until that happy event takes place, the poor sap will stagger around in a listless, aimless sort of way. The stupid dope does not even suffer. Only a very small part of the nervous system is lo cated in the head. But let something happen to the "stomach-brain" and the fly dies instantly. The ability of the fly to walk upside down has been a much-argued point. It was generally believed that suc- I tion cups were a part of the foot under control of the ner - I vous system. When the fly on of Tho fltjM touc you o til fine BtE Miof i yisitstwr ymiryjrmtc I EAT Tit 4 trWC W0M.

Watkins the ceiling went to sleep, it "left the machinery running," and the suction held the fly in position. These "facts," however, don't seem to be true. Tiny Hooks Actually the feet are sup plied with tiny hooks that grip the slightest irregularity of any surface, even glass. This hook arrangement is really "sticky." It is this stickiness that c a n cause trouble as disease germs ah here to the feet in enormous numbers and are held there until the fly walks across human food. Everywhere it steps it leaves a small colony of bacteria. "Swatting the fly" is diffi cult, requiring extreme quick ness. The fly usually leaves before the swatter hits; the reason is the fly can see in every direction at the same time. Each compound eye con tains 100,000 lenses, making it possible for the insect to see in a complete circle. Be tween these conspicuous com pound eyes are two cr three simple eyes, bringing this In sect's visual equipment away above par. The buzz of the housefly is said to be in "F." The vibra tions that make the buzz are about 350 times per minute. The buzz is caused by the rub bing of the wing parts to gether. Like most insects, the fly s wings do not move up 1 and down, like those of a bird, but in a figure eight motion. Rainier is light and easy going refreshment, with a light touch taste that sets it apart... I touc tint, delicate flavor that invite you to pour another. With your o' light moment;.
