UNSUNG ALASKAN SONGS
It would surprise some of the folks who go around
with the icicles of contempt hanging from their whis
kers to know how much good goes on in the world right
under their disdainful noses.
Not so long ago a little cheechako girl from back
East, who was going to her father in the Interior, un
attended and alone, and poorly equipped for a journey
into the cold weather, passed through this city.
Not only in Seward but throughout her entire
Alaskan trip, the child was taken care of, outfitted in
an A-l manner, so that she need have no fear if the
mercury tried to chase the devil into the cellar.
But that was just one illustration of a good deed
done by Alaskans.. There are a number of Alaskan con
tinually doing things like that. Nobody hears about it
because that type of Alaskan doesn’t want people to
learn of their kind-hearted actions.
But is someone is in distress those Alaskans—
we are thinking of two in Seward, both prominent bus
iness men—are the first there, quietly, with their
purse open. There’ll be no suffering if they know about
it.
This world needs more men like these two we are
thinking of. There is too much petty strife and bicker
ing. As Aeschylus said: “We are all clever enough at
envying a famous man while he is alive, and at prais
ing him when he is dead.”
AVIATION IN 1930
Each succeeding year sees new aviation triumphs,
as well as disasters, and 1930 had its full share of both.
Among the many notable achievements of the year
a few are mentioned here:
Lieut. Apollo Soucek of the U. S. Navy reached
the highest altitude ever attained by man, 43,166 feet,
more than eight miles.
Coste and Bellonte, Frenchmen, made the diffi
cult westward flight from Paris to New York in 37
hours, 18 minutes.
Capt. Frank M. Hawks, American, flew across the
continent from Los Angeles to Long Island in 12 hours,
25 minutes, besides breaking other speed records.
O’Brine and Jackson set a new refuelling endur
ance record by remaining aloft 647 hours, 28 minutes,
30 seconds, in the airplane Greater St. Louis.
Maddalena and Ceconi, Italians, broke the world
record for duration without refueling, with 67 hours,
18 minutes, in the air.
Jack Barstow glided for 15 hours, 13 minutes, in a
sailplane without an engine.
Capt. Charles Kingsford-Smith, Australian, and
crew in the Southern Cross completed a flight around
the world, ending with a hop from Ireland to the Unit
ed States.
Lieut. S. R. Barnaby cut loose from the dirigible
Los Angeles and descended safely to earth in a glider.
Many notable performances by women flyers also
made aviation news during the year, but none equall
ed the best records set by their male competitors.
The outstanding aerial disaster of the year was the
explosion of the British dirigible R-101 in a storm
over France.
We are glad to hear that Fairbanks may one day
in the not to distant future, be a main port of call for
world aviation routes. A Greater Fairbanks means a
Greater Seward; greater progress for all-Alaska.
We are pondering whether or not those Dukho
bors who are migrating from Canada to Mexico, be
cause of their strange nudity beliefs, wear less cloth
ing then some of our ‘gals’? If they do. naughty,
naughty!
