A RADIO OBJECT LESSON
Press dispatches of last week were to the effect
that during the flight to the North country of Colonel
and Mrs. Lindbergh there was a period of many hours
that the radio was silent; powerful radio stations
throughout the United States and Canada were unable
to make any contact with the Lindberghs or with other
stations along the route. A solid wall of static blocked
all communication.
Yet the Washington-Alaska Military Cable & Tel
egraph System contemplates abandonment of the Cable
ship Dellwood. They believe their present radio system
will be sufficient to maintain continuous communication
to and from the Territory of AQaska and the States.
When the Dellwood is retired from the Alaska serv
ice the Territory will be absolutely dependent upon radio
for all direct communication and any owner of a home
radio outfit knows how reliable they are; here in Sew
ard, or elsewhere. The Lindbergh example should be
sufficient evidence of the non-reliability of radio.
It’s unfortunate that so many do not find out that
they are crazy until they have killed someone. From the
way some of these local speed-demons burn up the road
one would almost think they were going places. Per
sistency wins, they say, and perhaps one of these dudes
may yet knock a locomotive off the track.
A SOUL-STIRRING AND EPOCHAL ADDRESS
(Continued from Page Thxaa)
resourcefulness, the initiative of everyone of us. That can
not fail us if only we keep the faith in ourselves and pur
future, and in the constant growth of our intelligence and
ability to cooperate with one another.
“Sirens still sing the song of the easy way for the mo
ment of difficulty, but the common sense of the common
man, the inherited tradition of an independent and self
reliant race, the historical memory of Americans who glory
in Valley Forge even as they glory in Yorktown—all these
tell us the truth for which our ancestors fought and suffered,
the truth which echoes upward from this soil of blood and
years, that the way to the Nation’s greatness is the path of
self-reliance, independence, and steadfastness in times of
trial and stress.
“Valley Forge met such a challenge to steadfastness in
times and terms of war. Our test is to meet this challenge
in times and terms of peace. It is the same challenge. It
is the same test of steadfastness of will, of clarity of thought,
of resolution of character, of fixity of purpose, of loyalty to
ideals and of unshaken conviction that they will prevail. We
are enduring sufferings and we are assailed by temptations.
We, too, are writing a new chapter in American history. If
we weaken, as Washington did not, we shall be writing the
introduction to the decline of American character and the
fall of American institutions. If we are firm and far-sighted,
as were Washington and his men, we shall be writing the
introduction to a yet more glorious epoch in our Nation’s
progress. We have seen many precious fruits of the sturdy
pioneering virtues that have made our country first free and
then strong and now proudly in the forefront of the world.
If, by the grace of God, we stand steadfast in our great tra
ditions through this time of stress, we shall insure that we
and our sons and daughters shall see these fruits increased
many fold.
“Valley Forge has come indeed to be a symbol in Amer
ican life. It is more than the name for a place, more than
the scene of a military episode, more than just a critical
event in history. Freedom was won here by fortitude, not by
the flash of the sword. Valley Forge is our American syn
onym for the trial of human character through privation and
suffering, and it is the symbol of the triumph of the Amer
ican soul. If those few thousand men endured that long
winter of privation and suffering, humiliated by the despair
of their countrymen, and deprived of support save their own
indomitable will, yet held their countrymen to the faith, and
by that holding held fast the freedom of America, what right
have we to be of little faith? God grant that we may prove
worthy of George Washington and his men of Valley Forge.”

THIS IS CORRECT!
Holloway, A. F. Holloway, not
Halloway, as published elsewhere
in this issue, is the lad’s name.
Referring to the Alaska Weekly
representative, who arrived from
the Interior Wednesday, not from
the South. Mr. Holloway will be
in Seward for a few days calling
on old and new subscribers to the !
well known publication. We’ll have
to blame the previous error on
the “Cub;” he’s big enough now
to assume the responsibility. Okey?
