SURVEY SHIP TO
EXPLORE CHUKCHI SEA
SEATTLE US) — The flagship of
the U S. Coast & Geodetic Survey j
fleet sailed from Seattle Friday
for a two-and-a-half-month survey I
of Arctic waters in the shadow of >
Soviet Siberia.
Between now and the time win
ter forces her back south, prob
ably late in September, the ship
Surveyor will make hydrographic
and oceanographic explorations of
the Chukchi Sea.
Capt. W. R. Porter and the 105
ship’s crewmen and scientists will
probe as far north as the ice will
let them go.
The Surveyor is this country’s
most modern ocean science ship.
She was built at a cost of more
than $7 million and entered service
two years ago. She carries such
survey gear as radar, fathometers
and two ranges of Loran. For her
Chukchi Sea studies the Surveyor
will make heavy use of an elec
tronic control system called raydist
to pinpoint her position when mak
ing observations.
For the first time on this mis
sion the Surveyor has doffed her
coat of war-gray paint.
Coast and Geodetic survey ships
have been painted gray since the
start of World War II. They now
are repainted to their prewar hue
of white.

Few people know
that Renaissance artist
Leonardo de Vinci was also
a student of optics... in 1508 he
drew and described a tiny lens which looked amazingly like present
day contact lenses! But it wasn t until 1827 that Sir John Herschel,
British scientist, detailed the modern concept of such lenses.
Most of today's wearers are fitted
with a corneal type lens... covering
just the colored part of the eye. In
visible to others, comfortable for
unlimited hours, they also offer
protection to the eye in some cir
cumstances. Write to the American
Optometric Asfociation, 4030
Chouteau Avenue, St. Louis 10,
Missouri, for additional information.
As recently as 10 years ago, a
fitting required having a cast
made of the eye, trying differ
ent liquids between eye and
lens, and wearing lenses that
covered the eye completely.
Many wearers gave up in dis
comfort and discouragement, re
turned to full-time use of their
regular prescription eyeglasses.

C21 GOLD DOLLARS
ARE GOING PLACES
CARSON CITY, Nev. iff — Seat
tle World's Fair trade dollars are
going places — like into Nevada’s
slot machines.
Fritz White, president of the
state’s Casino Assn., said Friday
gamblers have plunked about 200
of the gold-colored coins into dollar
slot machines. But they're going
to a lot of work to do it, he said.
White said gamblers are filing
down the edges to make the dol
lars fit in the slot.
It’s all right, though, he said.
“They’re definitely worth a dollar.
That’s what they cost.’’
The dollars — issued by Wash
ington State in conjunction with
the Worlds Fair — are negotiable
in Washington when used in
purchases.
