Guest of Honor at Seattle

SEATTLE, [ffi — Charles D.
Jones of Nome, Alaska territorial
senator, was guest of honor at a

Washington Hotel, given by Seat
tle’s Nome Club. Jones met 15 or
20 former Alaskans whom he

Alaska-Yukon Pioneers of Seattle

Heintzleman Urges
End of ‘Handicaps’
In Transportation
SEATTLE, Gf)—Alaska’s Gov. B.
Frank Heintzleman urged both the
United States and Canada today
to take joint steps to wipe out
what he called “handicaps” to
more efficient transportation ser
vice between them and Alaska.
The governments and carriers
involved could in his opinion, he
said, do a better job than they
have done to eliminate or lighten
such barriers.
Heintzleman, in an address pre
pared for a special afternoon ses
sion of the two-day Pacific North
west Trade Assn, convention that
opened today, said:
“Unfortunately, an internation
al boundary line artificially di
vides this single economic region
into two political parts—a fact
which greatly handicaps furnish
ing the cheap and efficient trans
portation that the region, as a
whole, deserves and could sup
port.”
The convention theme was
“transportation” and Alaska’s
governor discussed in order, wa
ter transportation on the Inside
Passage, roads, a proposed rail
road, and the bill to create an
Alaska international 'rail and
highway commission.
The principle of “cabotage,”
under which only nationals of
each country can operate water
carriers between ports of their
own country, causing duplication
of equipment and facilities over a
common route, might also well be
modified, Heintzleman said.
The British Museum consists of I
about 3,200,000 printed volumes
and 56,000 manuscripts on shelves
which total about 55 mles.

THE ORIGIN OF HALLOWE’EN—
HALLOWED EVENING •
In the early days of the church Holy Evening was specially
observed by families as they waited upon the Lord in theis
homes together. Often they prayed, and sang and read the
Word, and parents at this time also would recount to their
children the deeds of the early martyrs. When the times of
the persecutions came in Europe many of these Christian
families were hounded or driven out of their homes on Holy
Evening, and weird looking masks and hoods dropped over
their heads. The persecutors laughed at the sight while the
followers of Christ were led away to the torture chambers or
were burned at the stake. . . For even hereunto were ye
called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an
example, that ye should follow His steps.” I Peter 1:21.

Bomb Destroys
$20,000 Worth of
PrintingEquipment
MIAMI, Fla., Ub—An explosion
early Saturday destroyed $25,000
worth of printing presses and
equipment belonging to Miami
Life, a controversial weekly news
paper.
A flat-bed press and a teletype
setting machine were destroyed,
several other pieces of equipment
badly damaged, plaster was
knocked down and papers sellt
flying by the heavy blast which
occurred about 1:30 a.m. n
Part of the roof of the building
was blown off and the editorial,
room wrecked.
Reubin Clein, the publisher,
who is noted for swinging his edi
torial club at almost any head
which pops up, characteristically
blamed his trouble on “either the
Bolita gamblers or people who re- I
sent our fight against integrated;
schools.” He even hinted friends
of the sheriff may have done it.
Clein is an editorial enemy of
Sheriff Thomas J. Kelly.
The explosion scene indicated
someone entered the plant after it
closed Friday, placed explosives
beneath the press, and set a fuse
which resulted in the explosion.
The area for 15 blocks around was
jarred and residents frightened by
the blast.
Clein, long accustomed to threats
since he began publishing th*e pa
per 30 years ago, said an unidenti
fied man told him on the tele
phone Wednesday “this is your
last time.” Clein said he ignored
the call because he was long ac
customed to threats.
“This is what did it,” said Clein,
holding up a copy of his paper
which went on news stands last
Wednesday. The headline read:
“Bolita Boys Claim Sheriff Kel
ly’s O.K.”
I
The story claimed the sheriff
will discontinue his recent policy j
of harrassment against Bolita op
erators.
