HOW ABOUT SWAPPING
WRANGELL ISLAND?
(Juneau Empire)
Alaskans generally will ap
prove the stand of United States
Senator Robert M. Reynolds of
North Carolina in favor of Al
aska defense bases. The senator,
sounded a similar note when he
was up here last summer, and in j
an interview in the Army and j
Navy Journal now comes out fori
an army air base at Fairbanks, j
naval bases at Sitka and Kodiak
and other defense measures far
tnit into the Aleutians as well as
into the Arctic. We hope the sen
ator will he able to convince his
■colleagues in- congress of the
nfced for setting aside sufficient
mbhey to carry- on this defense
ptogram in the north.
Ahd he will # win a vote of
thanks from most Alaskans for
^anything he can do to further
the- international highway and
fliprove steamship service to the
Territory from the States, which
hrblso advocates. All the things
wfiich need the support of such
men as the senator from North
Carolina.
Senator Reynolds also says h«;
going to introduce a bill in j
oongre&s calling on the state de- j
partment to establish title it3"
Wrangel Island, north of Siberia.1
And Alaskans will find no oh- j
jiection to that. However, we
: would like to make the sugges
I tion that if and when the United
States gets title to it, that it be
I sold to Russia or whoever wants
I it and the money obtained for it
be used to carry out the Alaska
defense program so ably outlined
by Senator Reynolds.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

' Be sure . to put Christmas!
Seals on packages and other holi'

This appeal is made by Harry!

Tuberculosis Association.
* "In over 40 Countries Christ
mas Seals are sold to raise funds
for anti-tuberculosis work, and !
we are especially anxious that
mail from Alaska bears evidence
that we are participating in the
work hm.”'

and the stamps became immed

Christmas Seal Sale became na

year has proven its value as a
fund-raising device to support

In Alaska, the first Seal Sale
was held in 1934. Each year,
more persons buy Xmas Seals.
The money has been used to in

Red Cross Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting of Nome
i Chapter of the Red Cross will be
! held at the Hospital, Wednesday
! evening, November 23rd, at 8
i o’clock to receive reports, elect
j officers and transact other im- j
portant business.
“This is your Red Cross.’’ Do
i the people of Nome wish to have |
i this Chapter continue?
Our policy, since the end of
| the World War, has been to •at-.
I tempt to build up a fund for the
j relief of sufferers from fire, flood,
I epidemics and other great disas
ters. But it has become more and
more difficult to raise any ap
preciable amount of money by
moans of the ‘'Annual Roll Call.”
We have always been helped out
by the National Society, when
ever we have been called on for,
relief, in such cases.
Last year, the Roll Call rep
resented less than one fourth of,
(the adult white population of;
Nome! Shall w« continue in that
manner? Or shall we discontinue
the attempt?
Come to the Annual Meeting,
Wednesday evening, and tell us
what you think of it.

Chairman.

Mari Drives A Good Luck Token
fcut Together from Death Cars
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. — J
Ben Preston, an old Texas Rang
er, doesn’t like the way automo- i
biles are built. So piece by piece
he put one together to suit him
self.
The result is a car that will go
100 miles an hour— and whose'
parts were involved in the deaths
of 48 people.
In 1935 Preston acquired the
motor and chassis of a machine
that had been crushed by a load
of falling pipe. That started him
on his hobby of collecting parts
from cars in which people were
killed.
All over the country people j
began to hear about Preston and
sent h:m automobile parts.
To qualify now for a place in
the Preston ensemble, an auto

mobile part has to have at least
three, preferably more, deaths
connected with it. If he adds new
parts they must replace ones that
came from multiple-death cars.
A Texas officer recently sent
Preston a tap from the car in
which the southwestern desper
ado, Clyde Barrow and his Bon
nie Parker were shot to death,
but Preston hasn’t yet fouaid a
place for it.
The left fender was the only
part that remained intact after
a train-oar race near Valley Cen
ter, Kansas. Five persons in a
sedan were killed.
Its hood came from a car in
which a jealous wife discovered
her husband with another wo
man. She shot them and then
1 tore up the car with a hammer.
A government car involved in
the Kansas City Union Station
“massacre,” supplied the steer
. ing wheel.
So it goes—death rode almost
every part.
The mongrel car almost added
two more to the death list. Pres
ton drove it into a ditch near
Guthrie at 70 miles an hour. He
came out with a fractured arm
collar bone and shoulder and fiv:
ribs broken. A hitch-hiker wp.; '

to the death car—keeps and driv

ON CUSS WORDS'
BURGOS, Spain, Nov. (JP) —!
Minister of Interior Serrana Su
ner has directed provincial gov-;
ernors ip Nationalist Spain to
wage campaigns against blas
phemy and slander.
The Nationalist press acclaim- ’
ed the order, which authorizes
civil governors to invoke the full
measure of the law against of
fenders.
One newspaper commented:
“No country displays this ugly
vice as much as Spain. Our lang
uage, the most beautiful and rich
in the world, is spoken by many
who bespatter it with filthy in
terjections, takjing in vain the
name of God and the Saints."
Names of persons fined for
blasphemy and slander are pub
