""FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST""
| "Launch out into the deep" (ST.Luke V.4)
\ Our Lord uses these words to remind
jus that we ought continually to advance
jin holiness and in the perfection of our
[state of life# In order to arrive at
jthis we must wash away even the smallest
I sins, must keep our' passions in check,
iresist our evil inclinations,acquire all
ithe virtues, practice acts of these vir
tues, animate our whole life with holy
[intentions, unite ourselves to Jesus Ch
;rist. by love and imitation and must la
jbor uninterruptedly and perseveringly to
•pecome perfect; "as also your heavenly
^Father- is perfect" (St. Matt. V.48), Let
[us acknowledge that much still remains
|to be done, since.we have scarcely begun
jas yet, - Condemn our past negligence.
The difficulty is great, yet it sh
ould not. alarm us: with' God*s•grace we
• are able to do all things. God Himself,'
jit is true, will co -operate in this
;great work;but we must work jointly with
, iHim: "Not I, but the grace of God with
;men .(l Cor. -XV.,. 10). With God’s help
jeverything must be possible; through the
•; sweetness which will accompany this help
ieverything will become pleasing to us.:
Whatever progress we may have made in
^jthe way of such perfection, we should
^Pear ..in. mind . that, sailing on a stormy
I sea, we shall be continually exposed to
[winds and tempests; we shall always have
idiffuculties to overcome, temptations to
I surmount, enemies to battle with, and
jshall'always be falling into faults* Far'
(from being discouraged by this, we ought
•to buffet the waves with fresh courage,
[inspirited by' the presence of' our dear.
'Lord,

"LITTLE AMERICA"
Little America, "Capital of Aritarc-[
tica," 'is -more than just another U.Sa [
Navy IGY base in the Antarctic; It is a \
pulsating Community of 109 men with th— j
oughts of homo, but with a job to do "on j
the ice;<"- . ' ' ■ ■ ' '* • j
Begun • in early 1955 by men of DEEP !
freeze I, with construction continuing i
through DEEP FREEZE II and III, Little |
America •nOw encompasses over 60 build- j
ings and-1 passageways ' covering over one I
and one-fourth acres of floor space (55, \
052c square feet), ; 1' j
It has'itd own city hall, post Office, j
movie.theatre, chapel, library, ships- j
store, sick bay, dental office,' recrea- j
tion hall-,'-gym, ham radio station, photo l
processing lab and steam bath.- 1
In 'addition to -being the citywhich I
houses both the' Antarctic IGY Heddquar- \
ters and the Commander of Antarctic Su- I
pport Activities, Little America is a \
"Second Grand Central 'Station*" Though j
its trains are of a different breed, the \
city is the " Antarctic hub 'for :tractor j
trains and traverse parties*
Little America also has its- own gen- j
erating plant where1 a 24-hour watch is j
posted requiring constant vilgilance to !
ensure a minimum of interruption in the j
operation of scientific equipment,lights j
ventilation, and tools.
Each' man attached to Antarctic Sup 1
| port Activities is essential to the sue- j
| cessful operation of Little America Sta- j
I tion. Daily tasks of clearing snow from j
fire exits, ice from passageway decks j
and removing trash and garbage, as well j
| as other normal ' duties, endure that id- j.
sleness;:is rare ?at that station,
