- Text transcribed from caption: C-30397 CARDINAL OUTFITTED FOR POLAR VISIT CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z. -- Bound for the coldest regions of the earth, the Military Vicar to Catholics in the Armed Forces is outfitted by a U.S. Navy supply man. Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, draws his equipment from C.B. Gilbert, storekeeper second class, at Christchurch, N.Z., before undertaking his flights to Navy and scientific stations near the South Pole. On his annual visit to servicemen, Cardinal Spellman crossed the international date line, thus was able to celebrate Masses on two Christmases. He visited personnel at McMurdo, Byrd and South Pole stations involved in Operation Deepfreeze. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (U-12D-63-W)
