Tons of Meats, Groceries for Byrd Expedition Cost SIOO,OOO

Chicken, Turkey and Party Menus in Store for Polar Explorers. BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, July 4.—Sydney Greason is doing his Christmas shopping early—a year and a half early. He is buying turkey, cranberry sauce, plum puddings and other delicacies for 1928 and 1929 Christmas dinners for the members of the Byrd Antarctic expedition. Greason goes about with a worried frown and a pencil in hand, as he buys food enough to last the Byrd expedition two years. His bills will run up to about SIOO,OOO before he gets through. “No man on the Samson is going to have a chance to sigh for home cooking or for pies like mother used to make, because he’s going to have them all the while he is gone. Change of scenery is going to mean no change of food,” said Greason, steward of the party. Tons of Chicken, Turkey “The meals served at the South Pole are going to be just as good as tlr e served at any Times Square eating place.” Among the deliveries to be made between now and the sailing of the Samson in September are such items as this: Twenty-five tons of meat—chickens, turkeys and beef, three tons of smoked ham, two tons of bacon, sixty tons of groceries, two thousand pounds of cocoa, three thousand pounds of powdered milk, one hundred cases of evaporated meats. There will be large quantities of canned fruits and fresh and dehydrated vegetables. Bread, rolls and pies will be baked fresh by the ship’s baker every day. Every Sunday, and once or twice during the week, there will be a roast chicken dinner, with hot biscuits and gravy, and on special holidays will be the occasion for turkey. Restock in New Zealand In preparing the menus and making out the food budgets, Greason has had the assistance of Dr. Francis D. Coman, of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, who is dietitian of the expedition, and of George Tennant, cook, who cooked on Commander Byrd’s last venture into the Arctic. Besides the cooking which is done on the ship, Greason will provide quantities of “eats” in caches at the sub-bases that will be established about 100 miles apart on Byrd’s routes across the ice. In each cache will be a two-man camp outfit with stoves and cooking supplies. Greason expects to restock his larder to some extent at Dunedin, New Zealand, which will be the last stop before going into the Antarctic, and to have additional supplies sent from these sometime next year.

Fear that Belgian Nationalist students would riot in protest against the dedication of the restored library of Louvain University led to a request that the ceremony be postponed. Mgr. Ladeuze, rector of the university, won his fight to eliminate from the building the inscription, “Destroyed by Germany Fury.” Herbert Hooer publicly approved the rector’s stand, but many students, demanding that the inscription be allowed to remain, threatened trouble. The main facade of the new structure is pictured here.

C, 0. P. LIBERALS BBOSTJOOVER Brookhart, Borah, Johnson Offer Support. WASHINGTON, July 4. The harmony which Democrats are showing in rallying around AI Smith has its parallel in the Republican camp. Herbert Hoover has already gathered amout his standard many, prominent Republicans who have been off the administration’s reservations on major issues and also on some minor ones. The latest recalcitrant to announce that he will support the Republican nominee is Senator Smith Brookhart of lowa. Though ht Coolidge forces helped to unseat him a few years ago, and sent him roaring back to lowa to defeat such an administration spokesman as the. late Senator Cummins. Bookheart intends to campaign for Hoover. Senator Johnson of California, has also pledged his whole-hearted support to Hoover. Johnson’s backing is expected to spike whatever chances Smith had of carrying the State. Senator Borah of Idaho is expected to stump the west for Hoover. Borah’s decision to back Hoover at Kansas City was one of the first breaks of the convention, and his plan to campaign actively is depended on to win many liberal votes.
