HLICITT STUNT

J
(Special to The Gateway via Am
ateur Radio)
NOME, Alaska, Feb. 20.—A pub
licity stunt using amateur radio j
stations of Alaska was quashed,
in its primary stage by a Nome
amateur, who investigated oefore j
starting the story on its way. The ,
story was originated by the pub
licity staff of the Metro-Goldwyn
Mayer people, wrho are now making
pictures at Teller, and is as fol
lows:
“The life of Clyde DeVinna,
cameraman of the MGM and op
erator of amateur radio station
K7UT, at Teller, Alaska, was saved
by a New Zealand amateur. Mr.
De Vinna was communicating with
a New Zealand station when he
suddenly stopped sending. The
New Zealander, sensing that some
thing was wrong, found another
Teller amateur, and telling him
that he thought something was
wrong with his neighbor, and that
he had better investigate. He did
so and found Mr. De Vinna over
come by gas.’
The Nome amateur investigated
the story and found that it was
what was intended to be, a big
publicity stunt at the expense of
the amateurs who are doing a
great work in Alaska.

WHERE WHITES FAILED
CANBERRA, Feb. 20, (/P)—Abor
iginals have flocked to the Gran
ites—the deserted goldfields in
Central America—and are eagerly
retrieving huts, tin cans, shovels,
picks and other junk.
But what is more exciting is
the fact that the white men sank
wonderful wells in this thirsty
land. Four months ago there was
a grand rush to the Granites when
a rich reef, said to be six miles
long, was reported discovered. But
! the tide receded when the field
| proved worthless.
Wm. Patterson, Nuka bay quartz
: mine operator, arrived in Seward
last night with Capt. Pete Sather,
and also, John Coffey. They plan
to leave Thursday morning on the
return trip.

HEARD FR. HUBBARD'S
MU TALK. SEATTLE
Fr. Bernard R. Hubbard, S. J., j
professor of geology at Santta Cla
ra University, who has made ex
tensive explorations in Alaska du
| ring the last several years, pre
! sented an interesting lecture-trav
1 elogue in Seattle early this month.
Appearing before an audience of
about 7,000 persons, in a moose
I skin jacket with an abundance of
1 ornamental beadwark, Fr. Hub
| bard said that this was his way
of drawing attention to some of
the erroneous impressions held by
| many Outside people of Alaska,
| The jacket was given to the “Gla
1 cier Priest” by admiring Eskimos,
i and he said that the beadwork de
! signs were all typical of Eskimo de
i signs with one exception.
This exception was the design of
an igloo. Fr. Hubbard said that
the Eskimos he had come into con
i tact with did not know what an
j igloo was. To have the Eskimo
artisan comprehend the appear
ance of the ice houses in which
they were supposed to reside Fr.
Hubbard had to get out a “prize
geography” and point out an igloo.
The pictures shown in Seattle
constituted mainly those taken by
the Hybbard party in its 1932 ex
ploration trip to the then active
Shishaldin volcano, Mount Katmai,
the Valley of Ten Thousand
i Smokes, and huge Aniakchak era- I
ter with its 21-mile circumference '
rim and with its own Vesuvius on ■
! the inside of this huge crater rim. I
In addition to the pictures show- J
i ing volcanic and geological phen- J
omena views were shown of spirit- i
ed mushing by dog teams, visits |
to native villages, Jesuit outposts J
j in Alaska, Alaska wild life, scen
; ic beauties, and the airplane flight •
| into Aniakchak crater. !
The proceeds of Fr. Hubbard’s j
lectures are to be turned over to j
the Alaska Jesuit missions. i
