Rear Admiral Hears
Praise of F. D. R.
And Washington At
Banquet
WASHINGTON, May 1L—<*>—
Plaudits of the nation's first eltlsen
and official Washington had not
faded in the ears of Rear Admiral
Richard Evelyn Byrd Saturday be
fore he began contemplating still
another venture into the Antarctic.
Interviewed on the fly as he hur
ried from a Hotel Willard banquet
room to a suite where he was to
dress for the National Geographic
Society’s reception Friday night, he
said:
‘’Yea. naturally I'm thinking of
going back.”
A pause, then he added:
“But I suppose I really cant say
anything yet about a third expedi
tion. First I must make up the
debts contracted by this one.'*
For the next year, at least, he
said, he will be busy writing a book
and delivering lectures, all of which
have been contracted for.
The admiral told Friday of the
thing that impressed him most
during the four months he spent
alone in an Antarctic hut studying
weather conditions.
“The silence was striking,” he
said. “In the woods a person thinks
it is silent, but here there was ho
life of any kind. No noise.
“The snow? It was up to the top
Of my shack. I got my exercise by
keeping it shoveled away.”
'The shack was 110 miles south of
Little America and the admiral,
went there to obtain a continuous!
record of the weather. Above the
shack played the Aurora Australis,
which the explorer called “marvel
ously beautiful.”
As for the purpose of the whole
expedition, he summed it up thus:
a “I think we should learn more
INnt this earth that we live on.”

IMPROVEMENTS
SURVEY IS ON
Six Workers Engaged In
Teak; Owners Under
No Obligations
Six men who are malting a sur
vey of needed and planned build
ing repairs and improvements in
Brownsville are turning up numer
ous prospective jobs, but are handi
capped somewhat by lack of in
formation on the part of owners,
it was announced Saturday by R
C. Morris, secretary of the local
committee in charge.
"The owners of buildings are
under no obligations whatsoever to
the government or anyone else,”
Mr. Morris explained. “It Is the pur
pose of the campaign merely to
find out what building changes
and improvements are in prospect,
and if possible to work out some
plan by which the owners can be
assisted with the government’s
cooperation and assistance.
“The survey workers report that
■peed in the campaign is impeded
by the fact that sometimes they
must spend more time in explain
ing the purpose of the work them is
inquired to get the information
called for in the government
blanks.1*
Mr. Morris stated that It was
hoped to have the work completed
in a tew weeks.

If you get a dollar’s worth every time you spend a dollar, you are

The key to profit is to invest your money where it has a reason
able chance to grow into more money. If you keep your cash, the
chances are it will grow into less money— Read what Kiplinger
says about “Inflation Ahead!” in the Herald. The only way to
hedge against inflation is to invest in good real estate or good
common stocks.
Why invest in Los Ebanos addition? We claim it is the best pro
