LIGONIER NEWS

By Rose Cunningham Ligonier Man Died In Semi Crash Friday George Moser, 56, r 1 Ligonier, died in a head-on collision of two semi - tractor trailers Friday night. The crash occurred on U. S. 6 in Elkhart county, three miles west of Ligonier. Critically injured was the driver of the other rig, Francis D. Buskirk, 45, of Galesburg, 111. He was taken to the Goshen hospital. The accident occurred just 1,000 feet inside Elkhart county at 6:40 p.m. Investigating officers were corporal R. Terry Snyder of the Elkhart county police department and state troopers John Siegel and Sidney Fish. Buskirk was westbound on U. S. 6 to an unknown destination. Officers believe he saw an eightpoint buck deer and tried to avoid hitting it but the truck apparently jackknifed into the eastbound lane and struck Moser’s truck nearly headon. It is assumed Moser was heading home since he lived at Ligonier. He was killed instantly and the deer was found beneath one of the trucks. Damage to Buskirk’s Ford semi was listed as $24,000 and damage to the Moser 1966 International at $15,000. Both trucks were totally destroyed. AT FALL RETREAT The Misses Susan Dickin, Susan Enders and Carla Atz were among the 180 young people attending the Presbyterian fall youth retreat at Epworth Forrest, North Webster, last week end.

Son Os Wawasee Lake Couple Visiting Antarctic Continent

Professor William S. Benninghoff, son of Mr. and Mrs. William N. Benninghoff of Morrison Island, Lake Wawasee, is visiting some of the most sterile regions on the earth. A biology professor of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbbr, he is visiting various parts of the Antarctic continent, including the South Pole Station, in order to advise the National Science Foundation on future programs of scientific research in this largest and coldest wasteland on earth. One object of Professor Benninghoff’s tour in Antarctica is to evaluate prospects for establishing selected areas on the nearly barren parts of the Antarctic areas, not to be entered by people or crossed by low-flying aircraft. Some areas of the Antarctic ice can are still devoid of life of any kind except for very widely scattered microbes in resting phases because of the low temperatures. Places such as these may someday be of great value for biological experimentation that requires germ-free environments and as isolation areas for departing or returning inter-' planetary spacecraft that might carry microbes dangerous if introduced into certain new environments. Antarctic is covered by a great ice cap except for a narrow fringe of exposed rock surfaces. The only plants on this border ’ are mats and cushions of mosses and lichens, and webs and scums of algae and fungi — altogether a very thin cover of meagre life. But at certain points on the coasts, penguins and other birds come from the sea to breed. Seals also form great colonies on shelf ice and adjacent pack ice, and in places come onto dry land. Antarctic life is largely dependent upon the sea. If fact, the seas surrounding Antarctica are rich in marine life and very productive of plankton, fish, seals and whales. The great production of marine life in Antarctic seas is causing nations to look over the possibilities of increased fishing there. With modern fishing boats it is possible to harvest almost all but

the microscopic life from the sea with alarming thoroughness. This is mother of professor Benninghoff’s concerns — establishment of measures for the conservation of valuable species in Antarctica. Last July and August he led the U. S. delegation to the Symposium on Antarctic biology at the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge. England, and deliberated with other representatives from the Antarctic Treaty Nations on protective measures for seals. The professor teaches plant geography and ecology, the science of environmental relations of organisms at the University of Michigan, where he was appointed to a professorship upon leaving the U.S. Geological Survey in 1957. At present he is director of Aerobiology Program of the US/IBP concerned with charting atmospheric dispersal of spores, pollen, microbes and harmful gases. This year he is fulfilling an ambition he has long held, writing a book on “Vegetation of Cold Regions”. The book is to be published by the U.S. army terrestrial science laboratory next year. Halloween Party At Hex Grange Hex Grange officers and members enjoyed a Halloween party Tuesday evening, Oct. 22, preceding the meeting. Costume winners were Susie Robinson, Lindal Caldwell and Theodore Vorhis. It was decided to invite the state Grange delegates to give their report at the November 5 meeting.
