The BellinGshausen-AiTiundsen Sea Venture'
in iyetmcs Aires Pleasant
Touirists
Bardot Hairdo In;
Formality Noieri
(Editor! note: Thi ii mother in the installment! of the
account of Herb Grey's trip to Antarctic. 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. Among the guests who came

aboard the ship was the once
famous prizefighter and the
"Wild Bull of the Pampas,"
Luis Firpo, who is now a
wealthy Argentine cattleman.
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.

PUBLIC BUILDING The Deautuui Paiacio cie Goaoerno,
one of the many beautiful public buildings in Buenos Aires,
is where the president of Argentine rules the destinies of the
great South American country. 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.

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

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.

Without warning, nature strikes. She vents her fury with torrents of
water or a shattering shake of the earth. When this happens, phone
lines become lifelines that protect families and homes. Telephone
