FATHER GEORGE 11. WOODLEY
With the accidental death of Father George H. Wood
ley, Catholic priest in the service of his church in Alaska,
the Territory loses one of its finest representatives. He
wias beloved by everyone; he had lived usefully,. had
wrought greatly, and departing leaves the world richer j
for his having been here. Those who toil along the same ;
path of labor for the Master that Father Woodley trod;
in his life understand the depth of his character and the |
breadth of his vision.
A man of rare sensibility, of more than ordinary
priestly ability and constructive genius, a man clean and
high minded in character and kindly natured, Father
Woodley typified the highest ideals of »'S < hurch. His ex
ample is to those he leaves as beneficiaries of hismoble
work a clear and shining light of hope and faith. Those
workers who remain, feeling the inspiration of that great
beacon light of the church for which he served will keep
faith with him.
The Seward Gateway feels in the death of Father
Woodley a personal bereavement. His memory will long
endure as that of a man of lovable personality, great force
of character, true religious instincts, and a single minded
devotion to the Master for whom he served as an apostle.
But Father Woodley is only asleep; Alaska has not lost
this friend. “I am the resurrection and the life; he that
believeth in Me shall never die.”
THE GREATEST DIRIGIBLE
The largest dirigible ever built, the U. S. Navy’s Ak
ron, has taken to the air for a series of test flights, the
result of which will be keenly interesting to the aeronau
tical world. This monster of the air has a gas bag ca
pacity of six and a half million cubic feet, nearly twice 1
that of the Graf Zeppelin.
The Akron is 785 feet long, with a greatest diameter
of 133 feet. Eight engines will develop 4,480 horsepower,
and a maximum speed of 84 miles an hour. At ordinary
cruising speed the ship will be able to travel 10,000 miles
without refueling. It will exert a gross lift of about 200
tons, and carry a useful load of about 90 tons. Equip- i
ment will include a number of small airplanes and several
rapid-fire guns.
In view of the disasters wThich have attended the op-;
eration of dirigibles in the past, it is natural to speculate
on the Akron’s fate. One has only to recall the destruc
tion of the American ZR-2, Roma and Shenandoah; the
British R-101 and six other large dirigibles, the French
Dixmude, the Italian Italia, and many others, to realize
how few dirigibles, even those of the improved type of
recent years, have survived for any great length of time.
The first dirigible disaster in the United States, by
the way, was the explosion of one named the Akron, in
1912.
BRISBANE THANKS GATEWAY
In the issue of June 20,1931, The Gateway published
Columnist Arthur Brisbane’s truthful account of the pur
chase of Alaska by the United States from Russia. At
the same time The Gateway reprinted the story of the
same transaction that appeared in The Gateway December
5, 1925; both accounts tallied as to the facts of the deal.
Mr. Brisbane, whose igloo is at 220 South Street, New
York, and whose 2-cent meter is No. 5787, after reading
The Gateway article wrote a very interesting letter as
knowledging his thanks and interest in he additional in
formation on the subject The Gateway story gave.
Directions for keeping grape concentrate from fer
menting are so explicit that nearly everybody can under
stand and disregard them.
