Doctor Albrecht is in receipt
of word from his mother in Bethle
hem, Pa., that she heard his voice
over the ether when we nut on the
coast-to-coast short-wave broadcast
here some time ago.
Doctor's mother said that it
didn't come in very nlain, but that
she heard the 'school children sing
ing: When It's Springtime in Alaska*'
What a kick she will get when
she hears that Doc's was one of the
voices "right out in front I"
It would be interesting 'to know
just how many have had word from the
States that the broadcast was re
ceived.
That Palmer and the radio broad
cast are associated in people's minds
is quite apparent. Charley Moore
wrote a letter to a little sweetheart
of his in Georgia. 3.„e addressed her
answer-to: Charles Moore, Radio City,
Alaska, and I'll be darned if he aidi
n't get it.
And nil this reminds us that we
ere to have our own radio station
right here in Palmer. The U. S.
Signal Corns is installing a small
transmitter which will be onerated
on regular schedules once or twice
a week. There will be no news broad
casts, nor will there be any enter
tainment programs, as the Signal
Corns can not enter into this field.
The nurnose of the station will
be to facilitate distribution of
bulletins for the benefit of the
colonists; the quickest and most
efficient way of reaching them.
It is nossible that there may
also be lectures pertaining to work
and development of the tracts by
Vr. Sl.eely , the Agricultural A:- ent
and others.
Well, the ice has gone out at Ne
nana, and now we can settle down to
work for another year. April 30th
at 1:58 was the hour;, a fairly early
one compared with the average in past
years.
TC^ny localites came close, and
one, John Homer, who works-with the
steel gang on the big tank, outs in
with one 44th of the half won by
the Covich nool. This win will give
Romer about *700.00.
Roland P^sco came within 7 min
utes, and Tex Alcorn closer yet with
a miss by 3 minutes. At that,
T~x walked, off with the stakes
from three 'Minute* pools, and the
resultant celebration brought him
two months in the Anchorage hoose
gow, Tex lust couldn't stand all—
that prosperity. He got hold of
a couole of bottles of 'Malemute
Sweat' and loaded ut>. Everything
would have been all right if he
hadn't tried to burn up his tent
and then tell all the neighbors
where they could get off.
