Finger Prints Are
Taken All Members.
Chamber Commerce
Members of the Seward
chamber of commerce were
fingerprinted recently, says
the Seward Gateway.
Carried out by Deputy
U. S. Marshal M. P. Smith
aided and abetted by Lud
vig Larsson, guard. The
ordeal took place following
the luncheon-meeting held
at Cameron’s Cafe.
The finger-printing pro
gram is the result of a sug
gestion introduced at the
last meeting by Dr. A. D.
Haverstock, and is calculat
ed to serve as identifica
tion, to be filed, if the sub
ject so desires, in commer
cial circles.
The entire matter was set
forth by Deputy Smith who
read a comprehensive pa
per dealing with the sub
ject, which has no connec
tion with Department of
Justice files.
The custom is being ad
vocated in the States by
many civic and legislative
bodies, it was pointed out
by the speaker dwelling up
on the importance of the
movement has no signific
ance in connection with
identifying criminals.

oueeess of the broadcasts
on that (light, said Mr.
Thompson, interested the of
ficials and resulted in the
set being sent to Alaska to
carry on the present series.
Perfect Transmission
Todate, every broadcast
from Alaska, and they num
ber eleven, with today’s
program over Nome, have
been received by the NBC
network in the States, with
very nearly a perfect score.
Monday’s broadcast en
route to Nome was report
ed 90', perfect and others
have been averaging 85',.
NBC listeners in Nome
heard the program direct
from the plane as well as
listening in he short wave

thence to Ei© EaA coast
and uurn there bat5 io
{Nome.
With the glamour of
.Nome as a highlight in this
{series, Mr. Thompson says,j
| the program today should
'have attracted nation-wide
attention. Furthermore, the
authentic and reliable
source of information was a
large point in favor of the
interviews which took
place in the air here.
International Broadcast
If weather conditions per
mit tomorrow, said An
nouncer Thompson the
i plane will leave here early
in the morning, fly across
Seward Peninsula to the
{westward, out over Cape
{Prince of Wales, to the
point where the Arctic Cir
cle crosses the Internation
al Date Line.
At that point Mr. Thomp
son expects to interview
Ace Pilot Joe Crosson of
the Pacific Alaska Airways.
The subject of the inter
view has not been releas
cd, but with the excellent
reception coming in, it is
expected that listeners over
Alaska and the United Stat
es. will experience the sen
sation of listening to a pro
gram emmating over the
Arctic Ocean where the
principals can look out ov
er those boundless, ice-clog
g ?d wastes and see the head
