STARTING THE FIGHT
Flourishing diplomas, the annual crop of school j
graduates plunges out into the world. The rest of us— j
sophisticated and more or less disillusioned—josh them j
a lot, much as seasoned veterans josh the new troops j
marching up for their baptism of fire.
The diploma army comes in the nature of a yearly
wave of re-enforcements. With all our joshing of the
“commencement orator” who thinks he or she has the
world in the hollow of their hand, we realize that the
newcomers are badly needed.
They bring into the general world a wonderful
stimulant—pep, enthusiasm, ambitions ,determination
and, most valuable of all, youth.
We wish all youngsters, particularly today, the
Seward graduates, a safe and speedy voyage to success.
STATION KFQD
(Continued from page 1)
he has known the freedom of the wide places—rolling
prairies, glistening like an emerald ocean, and losing
itself in the distance in the haze of mystery beyond.
Instantly the little cabin dissolves into a hundred
different life-scenes. The whine of the blizzard and the
weird notes of the malamutes become voices of those
whom he has known in a different setting. Ghostly land- j
scapes become populous cities. The great lonliness that
would have been his vanishes, and he is again in har
monious touch with the world he loves.
This is what KFQD, the Voice of the Golden North,
has brought him from the crystal ether outside, along
'with important news. It is the liason between lonely
men and women who are out on the firing line of civ
ilization, thrusting back the wilderness and holding the
trenches until others may come and complete the work.
Like all blessings in a primitive country, KFQD
has paid the price of struggle—literally fought its way,
step by step, like the lonely men and women who it
serves out in the wildreness. There is a propinquinty
between the recipients of this boon and those who have
supplied it. To the man who is surrounded by the com
forts of modem civilization it is a common-place parti
cle of scientific advancement. To the man in the hills,
the homesteader, the trader and the prospector it is the
agency through which mentalities are saved, and the
liason which holds them to the great mass of humanity
and makes them feel that they are still a part of the
great cosmic scheme responsible for our modem com
forts and refinements.
Of the actions taken by the recent Legislature, the
little subsidy voted KFQD was one of the best. It pass
es beyond a mere financial aid—it permits those in
more comfortable circumstances to contribute their
mite towards bringing happiness to the soldiers who
wage a war of progress rather than destruction. Like
the line of communication keeping the battle linked
with the base, KFQD is keeping the frontiersman in
touch with the great pulsating world and encouraging
him to carry on.
Thus, this valuable broadcasting station takes its
place along the railroad, industrial development and
all other modem departures in point of contribution to
the rapidly advancing civilization that has transformed
Alaska from the “land that God forgot” to that of which
the poet sang, where the howl of the wolf has been
drowned out by the happy laughter of children born
within her borders, and one finds at his elbow every
modern innovation calculated to maintain the culture of
which the nation boasts.

. j
J. M. Smith, interested in min-1

will take the train to the Inter
ior Saturday and from Fairbanks
will hop to Nenana by plane,
changing there to skiis and from i

Mr. Smith expects great results

next few years.
The mining man went Out

ciated with his brother who has
been in Alaska for 33 years.
Mr. Smith is the author of i
many meritorious poems relative
to adventuring in Alaska and if
The Gateway succeeds in its ef
forts to obtain a copy of them,
they will be published.
FAIRBANKS PLANE DUE
An airplane was winging its
way to Seward at noon from Fair
banks carrying Robert Lavery,
of Lavery & Bailey, and one of
the Interior’s most prominent
business men, who is said to be
critically ill. The report also said
Mrs. Lavery is accompanying him,

NO FEAR IS FELT
Harry Kaw-abe, local business
man who has been appointed loc
al representative to assist the
famed Japanese aviator, Seiji
Yoshihara, enroute to Seward, via j
the Aleutians and northern Japan, j
says no word has been received j
from him during the past few |
days but no fears are felt as to |
the flyer’s safety due to the fact:
his last report stated he was
weather-bound.
VETERAN STEWARD ILL
He couldn’t take a couple of
days off in Seattle to visit his!
family who he had not seen for i
six months because of orders to
remain on board, but when a
man becomes ill, that’s different. |
So Steward Ross, of the S Starr, i
is ashore for a few days under j
the care of Dr. A. D. Haverstock, j
Seward General Hospital, who is |
treating him for a heavy cold. !
JESSE LEE HOME WON
Jesse Lee Home won the an- j
nual field meet Wednesday from J
Seward school and by a wide j
margin but owing to non-compil- j
ation of points, events and win-j
