Churchill Bids Goodby
To Cheering Americans
NEW YORK UP) — A tottery
but smiling Sir Winston Churchill
bade cheering Americans goodby
today — perhaps for the last time.
A crowd of about 300 persons
at Idlewild Airport clapped and
shouted as the 86-year-old former
British Prime Minister boarded
a plane for home.
With friends assisting at each j
arm, and using his familiar cane,1
Sir Winston Churchill proceeded j
slowly on a 200-foot walk from
a terminal building to a jet air
liner.
The crowd burst into cheers and
surged against iron barriers, which
had been specially set up on each
side of his path.
Sir Winston broke into a giant
version of his famed cherubic
grin, took off his hat, held it
aloft and eyed the well-wishers
with obvious appreciation.
A microphone had been set up,
apparently in hopes the famed
World War II statesman would
say a few words.
Then with a final glance at the
cheering crowd, Churchill gave
one more expression of farewell
and entered the aircraft.
He was assisted by two old

Century 21 Officials
Renew Efforts for
Alaska to Participate
SEATTLE LF — Officials of
Seattle’s Century 21 Exposition
said today they are renewing ef
forts to get participation by Alas
ka in the 1962 fair.
“We are working with business,
industry and other interests in
Alaska to develop a new ap
proach,” said Frank A. Stewart,
the exhibition’s industrial coordi
nator.
The Alaska Legislature did not
appropriate money for a Century
21 Exhibit.
“We think it would be a tragedy
if Alaska did not have an exhibit
because Alaska has so much to
show,” Stewart said.
“We will make a continuing ef
fort to make this possible so we
still can have both of our new
states, Alaska and Hawaii.”
Officials were notified the
Hawaii Senate voted 17-8 for a
$437,625 appropriation for the
state’s exhibit at Century 21. The
proposal now goes to the Hawaii
House. Century 21 is saving 11,
000 square feet of space in ex
pectation of a Hawaiian exhibit.

Your Hands Can
Resist Frostbite
SEATTLE (4*1 — You can prob
ably build up your hands’ resis
tance to frostbite, two University
of Washington scientists say.
Immerse them regularly, in ice
water.
The boon to weekend hunters,
cold weather campers and others
was suggested by researchers
Thomas Adams and Robert E.
Smith.
In an experiment, they had
four volunteers hold their right
index fingers in ice water for 20
minutes, four times daily, for a
month. Intensely painful at first,
by month’s end the immersion
did not hurt. The finger tem
peratures rose to 54 degrees.
Such hardening, they said, can
probably improve the hands’ com
fort and finger dexterity up
towards those of persons who
customarily work with their
hands in cold water or air. Such
hand dexterity has been meas
ured in American and Japanese
fishermen and Eskimos.
The two read a paper to the
American Physiological Society at
Atlantic City, N. J.
