Lindbergh in Paris
< -
(New York Times)
The vast American public
■which has long admired the
courage and modesty of Charles
A. Lindbergh must be glad to
know that it is Paris, not Berlin
that the Lindbergh family have
selected for their headquarters
this winter. Colonel Lindbergh
has suffered tragically from the
public interest in his goings and
comings. One would wish him at
all times the “peace and seclu
sion” he has sought since leaving
the United States, together with
the opportunity to live a normal
.life and do his work in his own
way without interruption.
But Colonel Lindbergh, thru
no will of his own has been made
a symbol. His words and actions
carry a weight that he may not
always wish them to have. If he
had gone to Berlin the Nazi
propagandists would not have
conceded what is doubtless the
simple fact, that he is not much
interested in public affairs and is
a good deal interested in tech
nological progress in aviation.
They would have made him a
figurehead, seemingly condoning
their own inhuman policies. One
hopes that he will be happier in
Paris, the scene of his first amaz
ing triumph. His American
I
friends and admirers will cer- -t
tainly be /happier to have him
there.
According to Federal author-j
ities, 300,000 Germans are await-j
iny official permission to emi- }
grate to the United States. With
all our faults they seem to pre
fer our company to that of
Adolf.

A New College Degree
On the information that Stan
ford University has added a five
week course in practical angling,
an English rhymsteT advises us
not to look slightingly upon any
man we see loafing by the river
brink with a fishing rod in his
hand; he may be quite a fellow.
He may have studied long and
hard
And labored to collect
Initials that you now regard
With infinite respect;
He may look dull; he may seem
deaf.
Past praying for or wishing.
But think—he’s perhaps a full

Mill Appear in Nome
Saturday Night, 8:15
Only one more night to wait
and see the best of the high

three-act comedy "Balmy Mr.
Brown.’’
Babs Merwin and Steve Wal
lace acted by Virginia Calkins
and George Martin respectively
are sure to thrill the hearts of
many a young lover and will put
on a good act for you. Babs is
the cousin of Paula Dening and
about seventeen years old, an
attractive society* bud, lively,
and full of fun. Steve is a like
able collegian of about 22, with
an eye for music (which Babs’s
father does not appreciate) and
also plenty of brains.
An attractive and charming
society woman of about 30, is
Molly Fayne (Alice Martin). She
is the director of the home-talent
paly (Boy! what a play!) and
does very well in filling the part.
Another member of the young
es set at the country club is Nan
Gaverly (Jane Nelson). She is
very pretty and bubbling with
animation.
Jerry Barton (Dan Jones) is a
clean-cut young college boy
with a friendly manner and
winning personality and is very
good in pulling himself out of a
bad hole.
All in all the play is beyond

gret the fact if you are one of
the very few who will miss this
play. Be sure to remember the

Of K7XFT, At Nome
Grant McMurray, radio oper
ator who will be in charge of
the aeronautical si’afon here,
and who arrived recently by
plane, states that this station,
to go into operation this spring,
will be similar to the Fairbanks
station K7X.FS, under the Alaska
Aeronautics and Communications
Commi -son.
“K7XFT’’ will be the call let
ters of the Nome sta’ion, operat
ing on 4.055 kilocycles. Equip
ment will be set up. and a sta
tion set up. to get the meteoro
logical service on the air just as
soon as possible
The service being given by the
AACC stations is g:ven high
praise by Alaska ahmen. The
wider and quicker d: •■•cmi
--
I
tion of meteorological data and
field information mean great
savings in time, and increased
efficiency for plans operators, i
Further, ithe stations give emer
gency or standby service which
has already proved valuable, and;
makes flying safer in the North-,
land.
AACC stations are now in op-j
eration at Anchorage, Juneau, j
Fairbanks, and Ketchikan, andi
^he Nome station will be next.!
Radio beam stations are under
co rust ruction on Ralston ialand,
near Juneau, and on Gravina Is
land, near Ketchikan.
Baseball News
Wednesday night developed
first class headaches for fans
trying to pick the eventual lea
gue champions. Hammons easily
won from a weakened Alaskan
team 13 to 4 while Nome in a
complete reversal of champion
ship form lost a disasterous game
to the Commercial 8 to 18. The
Commercials, Hammons, and
Nome.teams are now tied for top
honors, the Alaskans being alone
| in the cellar.
What started as a free hitting
Nome-Commercial slugfest sud
denly ended when Miller reliev
ed Jones for the Commercials in
j the third inning. Ost was far
from effective for Nome and ;re
i ceived poor support hence the
| -one-sided score.
Slack of the Commercials play
ed an outstanding all-round
game and O’Leary of Hammons
earned a thousand per cent bat
ting average for the evening.
Next week the Hammon-Com
mercial game high lights the ev
ening. Th:: winner will have a
material advantage for the three
games remaining to be played.
; Nome, meeting the Alaskans, has
a good chance to maintain its
tie in the standings.
Interest created by the pros
pect of women’s baseball receiv
ed a boost with news of the or
ganization of a single girl's team.
Women’s games will be schedul
ed later in the season.
Two Kinds of Claims
It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lode,
it should be staked as a lode
claim: If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim. If both
a lode and a placer deposit art
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a placer and
a lod' -laim.
Norlilcment Hear About
Life In Second Division
“If any of you boys want to
give a speech afterward, you’re
perfectly welcome to do it—tout
not here.”
The admonition was from Gro
ver Winn, master of ceremonies
at the recent legislative banquet
given by ith^e Norlitemen for the
Territorial senators and repre
sentatives in the Northern Light
church parlors in Juneau; and it
set the tone for the entire gath
ering.
About 125 Norlitemen were
present with their guests, and
heard Senator Leroy M. Sullivan
of Nome describe life maong the
residents of the Second Division
on the western and northern
coast of Alaska. Sullivan has tra
versed the Bering coast from Pt.
Barrow to the mouth of the Yu
kon, and if his part of the Terri
tory is the most isolated, in his
opinion, it is the most livable.
“We have all the modem, con
veniences at Nome,” Sullivan
said, “and since the 1934 fire, we
have been building an up-to-date
modern city.” The senator said
that the fire, wh:ch completely
destroyed the town’s business
district., was the dying gasp of
the old Nome of the gold rush
days of ’90 and ’00, which attract
ed ten to fifteen thousand men
and women to its glistening
beaches. Since the blaze, streets
have been widened, shacks elim
inated, and the horse-drawn fire
apparatus abandoned in favor of
motorized equipment.
“You should not forget that all
of Alaska does rot lie in Gas
tineau Channel,” Sullivan said,
"The people of the Bering .Coast
are among lire finest alive, and
we are blessed with lasting
friendships,” He described some
of the church work being under
it’aken by various denominations
in the region.
The other legislators who were
introduced by Win,n at the affair
inelud d Senators Walker, Ro
den, La Boyteaux and Rivers,
and Representatives Davis,
Dowd, Gordon, McCormick, Me
Ci-t'ch: :n, Rogge, Smith, Spaneer
and Walker.
