leaving the Russian base to return
to the research vessel Ob, a South
African newspaper reported.
“Because of the force 12 wind,
and the driving snow,” the news
paper quotes Franceschini, “we
could not see 10 yards ahead. But
the ship followed us by radar and
directed us by radio.
“THE ICE WAS cracking in
many parts, but finally we got to
within 100 yards of the ship and
dismounted.
“It was lucky for us, because
two hours later, when we re
turned, the house sled and the
tractor had all disappeared through
the broken ice.”
Franceschini has been working,
by invitation, with a group of Rus
sian oceanographers aboard the
Ob.
The account of the near disaster
is contained in a newspaper clip
ping just received by Dr. Dale F.
Leipper, head of the Department
of Oceanography and Meteorology.
The report was first published in
the March 28 issue of the Cape
Times Reporter.
Franceschini is the first Ameri
can scientist invited to sail aboard
the Ob. He was asked as part of
an international exchange program,
and his research effort is financed
by the National Science Founda
tion.

Now a clean-filling, smooth-writing,
money-saving Parker cartridge pen...only *3^
New PARKER ARR@W
This pen can save you important money on car
tridges. Ours are BIGGER and last longer (each is
good for 8 or 9 thousand words). But, even if you
didn't save a dime, this pen would be worth the
extra price. It's a Parker.
And only Parker gives you a solid 14K gold point
tipped with plathenium—one of the hardest,
smoothest alloys ever developed. It should last
you for years no matter how much you use it.
The pen won't leak the way the cheap ones do.
It has a built-in safety reservoir, and it must meet
most of the tough specifications we set for our
$10 pens.
If you have trouble saying it, say H with a Parker.
If you're a little shy and have difficulty saying "l
love you” or even "I like you very much"—say it
with a Parker.
The new Parker Arrow makes a beautifully ex
pressive gift and looks as if you paid a small fortune
for it.
The new Parker Arrow comes in black, dark blue,
light blue, light gray, and bright red, with a choice
of four instantly replaceable solid 14K gold pointSs
Gift-boxed with five free cartridges.
