Legionnaires Meet Wit2i
National Vice Commander
Nome was honored with a visit
of a national officer of the Amer
ican Legion yesterday, when Vic
tor Whitilesea of Reno, Nev., met
with local Legionnaires and VFW
veterans.
Mr. Whittlesea, who is National
Vice Commander, stated that he
is so impressed with his official
visit that he is thinking about re
turning to do some hunting in
this area.
He explained some of the out
standing programs of the Legion
such as rehabilitation of veterans,
Americanism, child welfare pro
gram and national security and
stated that Alaska has had public
relations with the national organ
ization although its population is
scattered.
“A lively post is one which has
a good community project and
keeps its members stimulated with
activity on such a worthwhile
project,” he stated. ‘‘What Alaska
lacks quantity of members of
the Legion, it makes for in
quality.”
The local Legion group present
ed Mr. Whittlesea with a carved
ivory paper weight as a memento
of his frist trip to Nome.
Smooth Riding Again
Rev. Bob Leight of the Bible
Baptist Church is happily driving
his DKW again after a series of
interesting happenings.
The car which he uses in the
work of his ministry developed
engine trouble which shouldn’t
happen to a new car which was
guaranteed to hold up for a much
longer time. As there was no agent
for the car in Nome, Rev. Leight
decided that instead of working
through an agent in the states, he
would go directly to the manu
facturer in Germany.
He wrote a letter to Dr. W.
Henze, president of the company
in Ingolstadt, Germany. Dr. Henze
immediately notified the western
agent which is Mercedes-Benz
Sales in San Francisco, and a com
plete new engine assembled and
ready was sent to Nome for in
stallation, Alexander Automotive
were sent instructions for the in
stallation and Rev. Leight has a
new car.
A single letter sent half way
around the world was all it took
for the Mercedes-Benz Co. to stand
by their guarantee and have a
satisfied customer in Nome, Alaska.
