I'm waiting for a boy to call who will come over and help get a path through The Last Resort, and do in reverse everything every-thing we did yesterday and before. In the midst of the hassle of getting ready yesterday (today is the 2nd of January) comes a phone call. My nephew Clark Partridge Par-tridge and his dear wife were down at the airport. "I'll be right down was my delighted answer and dropping whatever I was doing, I piled into The Green Darnit and took oft And there they were, sure enought and for once I had someone in the family for the Open House which would start in about two hours, or so. Alas for my hopes, Clark and Elaine kissed me, loaded me down with post mortem Christmas and birthday offerings, and informed me they had to take off at once for home and Pocatello, Idaho. Now, I ask youl As I drove back all alone and no family, I tried to console myself with just seeing see-ing them, I tried to imagine piling into a plane (that I can't imagine) piloting themselves clear to Provo in such weather just to say "hello" and frankly I just can't. I wouldn't have been surprised too much if Clark's brother Ernie Ern-ie who resides in Salt Lake City had come, but he is in California and so it goes. Well, this sort of unexpected happenings delayed me and the Open House until the people who come early to tell me they can't come later, began to arrive. And there were the phone calls asking ask-ing what time the party began. And there were the calls saying company had unexpectedly come who just couldn't be persuaded to come to a strangers house, thus missing the whole idea of an open house where everyone is welcome, kith, kin, or stranger. Ah, well. Who should turn up in full strength but The Rover Boys, male quartet! We handn't performed per-formed together for six-years and oh, how I've missed them! We sang "Scatter Sunshine", our once theme song and we did it as only we can with myself at the piano. And we sang "Sweet Genevieve" which I was a little reluctant to do as it has a tendency ten-dency to make me weep. How I wish we would become active again, Jospeh Ahlander, Bruce Haws, Fred Clark and Stan Patten Pat-ten and I. I'll burn a candle with that in mind. One other tid-bit from the Open House, then I can go down stairs and start in. Neighbor Sadie ' brought me an offering of a quart of her home grown and home bottled bot-tled red raspberries. Now, this is not a run of the mill sort of thing. , Sadie Pehrson's bottled raspberries' rasp-berries' deserve the description, "delectable" and I have never tasted any bottled raspberries to compare with them. Their color alone-well, I don't know how she does it. To add to the fun, Sadie brought the bottle in a brown paper bag and such is the mores along the Wasatch Front that the party became be-came hilarious just at sight of this brown paper bag. It takes very little to have a good time if one takes advantage of what turns up. I'm baking bread. Writing this while it rises. I've gone without homemade bread as long as I can. I made bread for my daughter and family while there. Pride goeth ever before a fall. It was awful. Bore no resemblance to my bread at all. But the grandchildren loved it which only goes to prove that even home-made products of inferior in-ferior quality are better than the mass production and packaged bread is fit only for grilled cheese sandwiches in my opinion.

Durinf the last general election, the citizens of Utah voted to amend the State Constitution so that inventory in-ventory tax can be entirely eliminated. elim-inated. One example of Utahns working for industry and anothe reason why industries profit by locating in Utah. To paraphrase an old saw, Dno nf tho onnrt thincre Qhnnt being in Congress is the travel one does...and one of the bad things about being a Member of Congress is the travel one does." Much of our "hearing travels" are a complete, routine bore and cost time away from the office and family. Other trips are the thrill of a lifetime. One such was my recent venture ven-ture to the South Pole in Antarctica Ant-arctica during the congressional recess. What on earth was I doing in Antarctica? Well, the House Interior and Insular Affairs Af-fairs Committee in addition to maintaining internal jurisdiction over mines, reclamation and ir- .: rigation, Indian affairs, national na-tional parks and recreation also oversees the administration and programs in Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, AmericanSamoa, the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific.and Antarctica. For twelve years our country has maintained permanent, year-round year-round bases in Antarctica, a forbidding continent at the bottom bot-tom of the world, about half again larger than continental United States. The jumping off place for Antarctica for us is Christ-church, Christ-church, New Zealand. All the scientific work being done there by our people is under the direction dir-ection of the National Science Foundation, directed by Dr. Tom Jones. But his staff, their operations oper-ations and the bases themselves are supplied and maintained by Navy Task Force 43 under the command of Rear Admiral "Doc" Abbott. Hence our departure from Christchurch in a prop-driven Navy cargo "Constellation." Ten hours later, after flying over several thousand miles of Antarctic Ant-arctic Ocean and ice shelf we landed on a frozen ice pack .above the Ross Sea at McMurdo Sound. - It was a balmy 12 degrees below zero, a warm summer day at McMurdo when we stepped from the plane. The base at McMurdo, Mc-Murdo, in contrast to our other bases on 'the ice," is above ground. Quonset huts are the most fashionable town houses and form the backbone of the community. Water, everywhere in Antarctica and at all stations, is in short supply. With all the ice and snow around that seemed an anomaly to me until it was explained that the real problem is converting the solid ice and snow into a useable "liquid" state. It takes heat and heat takes fuel and fuel is a most precious commodity com-modity there. Our sailors and scientists are limited to two gallons of water every seven to ten days for FARMERS If you are interested in the 'Corn of Grain program for Utah County, contact your branch manager . . .

It was six days before be-fore we got backtoChristchurch, so we didn't qualify for a shower on the "ice" and believe me, did that hot water feel good in the Christchurch motel. . The next morning at dawn we took off from McMurdo in a Hercules, prop-driven plane for the South Pole. The plane had three huge aluminum skis mounted mount-ed to it and carried fresh supplies sup-plies for the twenty-some Americans Ameri-cans who live permanently at God's most remote outpost. We landed there after a four hour flight in a ground blizzard and the temperature was a cozy 27 degrees below. The average temperature, day in and day out is minus 57 degrees. In the winter, June, July, August, temperatures temp-eratures dip below minus 100 degrees. The "Pole Station," so-called, so-called, is all underground. The rooms in the station are connected con-nected by ice tunnels that are always 10 or 15 degrees below be-low zero, as they won't melt. They are stacked with frozen cases of fruit, soap, meat, vegetables veg-etables and two huge tunnels hold the fuel containers. I was surprised to find that the commander of the Pole Station Sta-tion Base was a fellow Utahn, Navy Lt. Jay Bowman whose father still resides in Salt Lake City. Jay helped me fly from the South Pole itself, an American Ameri-can flag I had brought with me lor my son Laurence Shupe and then asked me when I got back stateside" if I would call his-Dad his-Dad and also send him a Utah State Flag that he could fly from the Pole.
