ALASKA VOLCANOES
CLASH WITH RADIO,
OECLAHE OBSERVERS
Volcanoes of the Aleutian Islands
in the North Pacific Ocean, smoul
dering from time immemorial and
erupting periodically with cataclys
mic force, are now definitely
known to play havoc with radio
reception in the Alaska Peninsula
during periods of violent activity.
This was recently observed for
the first time when Shishaldin vol
cano on Unimak Island'burst forth
early in January of this year with
intermittent explosions throughout
the winter.
The roar of the upheaval could
be distinctly heard 35 miles away.
The mountain laid a smoke bar
rage 50 miles at sea.
Radio fans residing in that area
state that the volcano produces
electrical phenomena that serious
ly interferes with reception of pro
grams sent out on the air from
near and distant stations.
It is thought that the intermix
I ing of electrically charged particles
| of ash meeting in space causes vio
l lent, agitation of static with subse
! quent distortion of sound waves,
{ the degree of which is determined
by proximity to the volcano.
Joseph Nasenius, amateur wire
less operator at False Pass. Unimak
Island, reports that he experienced
distracting interference which
made wireless telegraphy well-nigh
impossible during the winter. The
I volcano interrupted communication
at that point, making wireless sig
nals undecipherable time and
again.
Moreover, other atmospheric pe
culiarities are observed during vol
; canic activity- Radio programs of
, station KFQD in Anchorage were
j heard clearly at Umnak Island, 675
miles away, from the sending sta
I tion while listeners on Unimak,
Sanak, Shumagin and other is
lands adjacent to Shishaldin, locat
ed at various distances ranging
! from 450 to 525 miles from An
chorage, could not hear the broad
I casting during the eruption. These |
freak disturbances are less fre-i
quent during tranquility of the
Aleutian chain of volcanoes.
NENANA ICE CONDITIONS
The latest “dope” about the con

as heavy as previously.

BETTER TIMES ARE COMING
Don’t be Discouraged!
Don’t lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of the
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
“depression.”
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!
