GATEWAY RADIO PICKS DP
Last night at 11:30 o’clock, the
Gateway wireless set on Mount Pisgaii
picked up a long radio conversation
between Explorer McMillan’s Bowdoin
and the Prince Rupert operator. The
Bowdoin operator sent out a message
of good cheer to the boys and girls of
America. He stated that after work
ing all day repairing his harnesses
and sleds, he sat down for a long visit
with radio operators in the States, in
a twinkling getting in touch with
Schenectady, Chicago and Dallas in
turn. He said he had had a personal
interview with Santa Claus, who told
him he was the first white man that
he had ever seen so close to his do
main. Santa said that his stock of
toys this year for the boys and girls
was bigger than ever and included
many radio sets. He has a number of
radio sets of his own and they have
been a great source of pleasure to him
after a day’s wo.h when there is little
going on around the great North Pole.
! He just beamed with kindliness when
j he spoke of all the little hearts that
he 'would gladden with radio sets this
Christmas.
“He told me also that his toy store
houses are in the hollows carved out
of the snow and ice mountains. He is
helped by many, many goblins, who
sort the different toys to keep them
in order and mark them with the
names of the little boys and girls.
Four were tumbling and frolicking in
the sleigh and two more serious mind
ed busied themselves with the rein
deers.
i invited Sr>n1a to come aboard the
Bowdoin as often as he could He thot
that aftPr thp Xmas rush he mieht he
able to come again. This is one place
in the world where he can carry on
his work without having little, inquisi
tive eyes peeping thru the windows or
the kevholpss to see th« fine things lip
is eeffiptr ready for Christmas, and as
he eMded awav over the silent snow
into the inky blackness of the niebt
the sound of the iovous sleiebhelh
drifted over the still beautv of the
everlasting white blanket. And I im
agined and smelled again the pine
needles and the candles that used to,
d^lleht me as T stood outside of thp'
hie livineroom of mv home waiting
for mother to throw hank thp curtains
and leave me to find the things that
^nntn had iust left.*’
This was the message picked un bv
♦ ho Onfov-.av operator from the flow-'
doin. locked snuglv in the jpp lati
tudes far north of Oreenlanfi and
close to the North Pole. <?o far as
known the Oatewav radio is the onbJ
amateur set to nick up the Bowdoin
up to the present time, with the ex
ception of the Prince Runert set,'
which keeps him in touch with the
outside world.
For an hour or more the two opera
tors conversed with each other. The
message was picked up on a 300-me
ter wave, but coming in clearer and
more distinct than the big arcs in the
States.
MJSKi IfGION DEIMES
PROMINENT II 'FRISCO
(Continued from Page One)
to prevent child labor. An eloquent
appeal for this legislation was made
by Samuel Gompers, before the Legion
Convention.
The Convention reaffirmed the Le
gion’s policy In favor of the suspen-l
sion of all immigration for five years
and stricter regulation in the absence
of the exclusion law.
"One of the most interesting fights!
developed over the Ku Klux Klan.
The feeling ran high and the press ofj
the country gave a great deal of pub
licity to what appeared to be a split
in the ranks of the Legion. The mat
ter was thrased out in the committee
rooms and a resolution was presented
to the Convention and the real fight'
began. There were some who desired!
the Klan to be denounced in no uncer-l
tain terms. An amendment to that ef-l
feet was introduced but was voted
down by an overwhelming vote. Those
more favorable to the Klan proposed!
another amendment but this went
down to defeat by even greater odds
than the first amendment. The reso
lution finally adopted reads in part as
follows:
"Resolved by the Am ican Le
gion, in National convention assem
bled, this 17th day of October, 1923,
that we consider any individual, group
of individuals or organizations which .
creates or fosters racial, religious or
class strife among or people, or which
takes into their hands the enforce
ment of law, determination of guilt, s
or infliction of punishment, to be un- ]
American, a menace to our liberties, i
and destructive to our fundamental
law; and Be It Further <
“Resolved, That we consider such 1
action bv any individual, groups or f
arganizations to be inconsistent with
fhe ideals and purposes of the Ameri
can Legion.”
“Despite the sharp fight between 1
the various factions it was very evi- 1
power of the States to enact legislation
the majority of the convention stood,
dent that after both sides saw where
the final resolution was adopted by ac
clamation and there were very few
dissenting votes.
The greatest event of all was the
election of John R. Quinn, of Califor
nia, as National Commander. As Geo.
Mann puts it, “When Alaska elected i
the new National Commander.” Alas
ka was asked to join the western
states in their caucus the night before
election. The caucus lasted all night,
but we left the meeting feeling that:
in our endorsement of the candidacyi
of John R. Quinn we had selected one
of the best men the West' had to offer!
and their job was no doubt in our;
minds but that he was the best man
for the job. The middle west and
south were supporting General Wilder
S. Metcalf of Kansas; the New Eng-;
land States endorsed Clarence R. Ed ;
wards of Massachusetts; the other
eastern states supported James A.j
Drain of Washington, D. C., and Penn-,
svlvania had as its candidate, William j
B. Healey.
“Alaska headed the list of western
states and was the first to cast its
vote tor John R. Quinn, and for eleven
straight ballots we held fast to the
Quinn banner. Not a Western state
wavered, but followed our lead to vie-1
tory. The first states to swing w’ere!
the Southern, however, it was not un-j
til Pennsylvania and Indiana cast their[
votes for Quinn was he elected and
the most sensational and spectacular
election ever held in the American
Legion was over.
“Despite the great deal of work ac
complished by the Convention, the
Carnival spirit held sway and San
Francisco did herself proud as a host.
I hardly believe that a Legionnaire
slept for five days and five nights. At
four in the morning there was about
as much life and color on Market
street as at high noon. There was
constant cheering and singing. There
w'as the Iowa delegation that never
lost an opportunity to tell the vmrld
“They didn’t give a -for the other
forty-seven states for they were from j
the state where the tall corn grows.”
Pennsylvania was ever present
wiih the cry that they didn’t give a
for the whole state of I-o-way for
they were from the Keystone State.
Every once in a while you would hear
some wild and wooly guys telling the
world about “Powder River.”
"Even the ladies took a turn at
painting China Town. The ‘Eight
Forty,’ an honorary order in the Aux
iliary- Initiated about thirty or forty
candidates into its mysteries. Mrs
Rucker and Mrs. Simpson being two
of this number. They invaded China
town in war paint, and even attempted
a big Chinese dinner.
A really fine thing was accomplish
ed by Mrs. Simpson, who carried to
San Francisco a large amount of gar
den truck and grain which had been
on display at the fair at Juneau. This
w-as placed on display in a window in
market street and proved a big at
traction. It was interesting to listen
to some of the remarks of spectators.
The tact that such things could be
grown in Alaska was so unbelievable
that many thought it must be a joke.
“The next convention will be held
at St. Paul, Minn. It hardly seems
possible that there could be a greater
convention than the one at San Fran
cisco, but any Legion Convention is
well worth attending. It may require
sacrifices, but one feels well repaid in
the inspiration one gets upon seeing
the workings of such a great body in
the interests of our America. There
is no greater stabilizing force in the
world today than the American Le
gion. In it the highest ideals of
Americanism will be realized. Every
ex-soldier should realize that it is a
great privilege to belong to the Amer
ican Legion. It has a great work and
a work that every American should
be proud to have a part in. It will be
the effort of the Legion this year to
increase its membership and it is to
be hoped that the Post of Seward and
the Department of Alaska will contri
bute to this increase.”
