BYRD SUPPLY SHIP TALKS TO WAWASEE: —•• | Crew Os ‘Eleanor Bolling' I Send Families Messages Via Macy’s Station La.*t Minute Radio N.ew> The la*t news M. W. Macy h i* received at hi* radio station i* from IVEAT. announcing that the Eleanor Bolling bales Dunedin. Saturday, for Byrd’- base at the South Bole. I From WFBT. the ship, City of Nett York, comes the news that that vessel is on its way ■•• nth from Dunedin now. Tuesday morning, Jan. 14, at one o’clock. M. Macy, from his radio station on Lake Wawawe, got in touch with WFAT, the ship Eleanor Bolling, lying m the harbor of Dunedin, New Zealand. 1 his was the first that Byrd’s supply ship had teen in contact with a station here in the states since Christmas, and most ol the ; messages sent from members of ’ tiiv crew were Christmas greet- ■ theii familn s nends. The Eleanor Bolling, one of the supply ships of the Byrd Antarctic expedition, has been spending the winter in the haroor ot Dunedin, but will leave m .the next M days for America, the main base of the Byrd party, located below the Antarctic Circle, and usually ire!erred to as the bottom of the world. Mr. Macy explains:. “While it was January’ 14th there, due to the change in tune after crossing the international uaie iiire, it. was 7 o’clock tn tb.e evening for the WFAT station, the hour I took their messages here in Syracuse was Horn 1 until 1:55 o’clock that i morning. . "During the contact I cleared •.he hoOk for WFAT, . which me ms 1 took all the messages he had bn hands for parties here in Lite States. "There were eight messages handled, and they came through in a row Without a break, it only >eihg necessary for me to ask for repeat of address of numbers 2 and 3, v hich were received in part the first time, but a repeat was advisable in Order to check for corrections. “I received a report of QSA 4 on my signals. They are rated from- QSA 1 (weak) to QSA 5 (extremely loud.) "During the early morning hours I also worked with a station, at Wellington, New Zealand, and five other Australian stations.’ Mr. Macy states. He explains that while the Eleanor Bolling is in Dunedin for the winter, yet she leaves in a few days, for the main base, because it is spring there now, and ice ’will soon break up so that ships can get through to bring the Byrd expedition back to the States. The climate of New Zealand is much similar to that in this section of the States, Mr. Macy (Continued to Pfisre Seven) i—o FORMER RESIDENT BURIED YESTERDAY On Tuesday word was received from Miss Irene Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., telling of the death of her stepfather, Hugh N. Col’.endar. Sunday morning, in San Diego, Calif. Miss Sprague wrote that funeral services were to have been held yesterday afternoon. Mr. Callendar is one of the old residents of Syracuse. He was a practising attorney here, and for a few years, Justice of the Peace. About 40 years ago he moved to Wyoming, where he was cash T >er of the Lusk bank) and confidential manager of Wallen & Co., •upply house. Mr. Callendar went to Southern California for his health several years ago. His daughter. Mrs. Jessie Agnew, has been with him the last few months. He was approximately 85 years old.

OIL LEASES ARE GIVEN OUT BY TAWA COMPANY Speculation as to what is afoot, has teen stirring Syracuse since 10 days ago. when a representative of the Tawa Oil Co., of Find-, lay. O.’ passed out oil grants, to be signed by property owners of Turkey Creek Valley. The leases are of the usual form, giving the owners a oneeighth royalty in case oil or gas is found on the owner’s land. It has teen stated by responsible parties, that the leases will te i signed by most of the property owners, if a provision is put in each lease, absolving the owner from any attachment that might arise from claims against the oil company. From all the information that can te obtained by the Journal there has never been any oil found north o fthe Wabash Arch, with one exception only. There have been borings made at Goshen and around Nappanee. At Goshen, gas was found, but only flowed for two days. At Albion a little oil was found. If oil is found, it will be in the Trenton jimestone, which lies, on top of the basic complex of this region, at a depth of approximately 2,000 feet. The excitement, if oil is found, in this section, will likely paralell the California gold rush. — —o — SUIT FOR DIVORCE DROPPED BY WIFE For her children’s sakes and to keep her family together.

Monday, John Moore and his son, and daughter-in-law, Mr. Mrs. Estel Moore, of near Cromwell. called on Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Riddle, who are both ill with severe colds. It is thought that keeping the score for a ganle as exciting as the one at Milford Friday night, caused “Soud” Kehr’s illness which kept him from work Satday. Harry Hire and J. P.

KITCHEN DAM; : ED BY HMONDAY An ovyr-beafetl stove placed too close to the kitdiOn wall, was blamed ,as the cause of the fire at the Clee Weaker home Monday, morning. About 9:30 the 'r> s age was phoned in and th< fire alarm was sounded. The volunteer department, followed by a. large pro : portion of the citizens of Syracuse, rushed to Boston street, to dbcoVer smoke coming through the kitchen wall and roof, in the Weaver home. The hose for the chemicals was quickly run out. but it was fouh 1 necessary for some of the firemen to remove shingles from tjhe roof and make .an opening from the outside of the kitchen wall, before the chemicals could be turned on the blaze itself. This was quickly (Pone and the fire soon put out, showing the kitchen wall and roof were damaged and Postmaster Sarient had lost one glove fire-fighting. It is thought some of the plaster must have been off. where the hot stove was- placed so close to the wall, and this caused lathes to burn inside of the walls. 0 —.

Harry Pdrter’s answer to the many questions of “What are you going to do with it”? ■ ; ■ This promise wag also made in the fetter written to Homer Rodeheaver, , which he announced won the second prize in the contest describing carol singing of communities at Christmas time. -' When the club women of Syracuse. working together, planned this year’s Community Christmas tree and treat for the children, they decided to accept the offer made .by Homer Rodeheaver, from WLS Chicago, and sent for his books of Christmas carqls. •Led by Mrs. L. A. Seider arid '' the Art Club, the clubs planned • to accept C.
