YOUNG. REID FLYING PLANES
 SIBERIA COAST
ESKIMOS GAVE GREAT ASSES TANCE TO REEDS PLANE
 NEAR UNALAKLEET

NOME, Jan, 14, (Pl-Pilot Matt Neimenen, with Fairchild plane, arrived yesterday from Nulato bringing Major Deckard, and Mac Cauley who are now awaiting the arrival of Pilot Fteid from Una lakleet.
 It is believed that Reid made the trip there to obtain gasoline in order that he might continue his flight to Nome But before taking off from Unalakleet Reid found it necessary to employ a large number of Eskimos to pull his Falrchild plane long dis tance from where he came down to where the new takeoff was to be made, at a lagoon
 A damaged wing was fixed up by using a Christmas box and cutting spruce trees which were fitted into the damaged wing
 The natives also gave much as- sistance in carpentry work; Maj or Deckard expects to return to Fairbanks as soon as the two standard planes return to Nome from Teller when Pilots Dorbandt and Neimenen will fly to Fair banks taking Mechanician Cope back to Anchorage.
 Pilots Young and Reid will fly the two F'airchild planes to Si- beria and hunt for Eielson and Borland, Deckard said.
 Though the planes consumed more than week between Fair banks and Nome the flying time is only four hours and 45 min utes. It was also stated that tht planes are meeting every emer. NV gency in the North country.

Petition
TO the Alaska Road Commission
 Juneau. Alaska.

40 LIlH AldShd LeOdu NOAAAAAAA9SA0AA
 Juneau, Alaska.
 Gentlemen of the COmmission:- The undersigned citizens of+ the United States and residents of the town of Kenai, Alaska, do hereby present to your honorable body the following petition, to witt
 That the sum of $30,000 be set aside from the funds for road building to construct a road from Kenai to connect with the highway running from the city of Seward to and along the bank of Kenai Lake, and we respectfully submit for your consideration the following reasons why this petition should be. grant ed:-
 1st The distance to be traversed by this road is only about 55 miles and that the completion of this project would open large section of excellent grazing and agricultur- al land at present worthless be- cause Of total absence of adequate faculties of transportation and com- municatiOn
 The village of Kenai was one of the earliest sites chosen by the U. S. Department of Agriculture for the erection of an experiment station because it is in the center of very large tract of level land with a rich deep soil excellently adapted to cat- tie Or sheep raising or farming. The station was abandoned by the Der partment solely because of the diff fiucltis of transportation and com E1unication with the outside world. These difficulties are not due to climatic conditions but to the na- sure of the waterway which has hitherto been the only possible means of entrance to this section. The village of Kenai lies at the mouth of Kenai river and the ero- sion and transportation of sand and gravel by that river have so filled the Inlet at this place with sand bars and shoals that a large boat cannot approach nearer than two miles to the shore and smaller boats can only enter and leave at high tide. This condition can never be remedied but grows worse every year. In few years more even this means will be cut off and the only practical way of linking this section with the outside world is by a decent overland road.

 So great were the differences at the end of the first few days pro 'ceeding as to the advisability of voting an increase in duty that no one would hazard a guess as to how much of a majority would decide the issue.

If we are to Judge by the comments and
opinions heard abont town amemt the accidental
tci1line OF Mrs Winnie Jones i'm Fulton last week.
we should venture to say that our schools AND
churches have trem1emd GUS task ahead i'm teach
ING our people how to rea SON imtellfgently. Some
of the theories and arguments heard arorfnd cowh
zzorfd be considered anti GuaGed by African tflDes
and ruled QUIT by sages OF the dark ages.
The facts are; A ma trying to make am non
est living was operating power saw line N.Y.
wheel flew off and sailed two blocks and crashed
tNrouqh a roof and killed woman who was Wis
itimq at that house twas nothing unusual nm
either one of the happeni ngs THAT occurred. With
the little money the ave rage Negro business imam
makes trading with his people, the wonder is that
a fly=wheels have not flown off machinery owned
by them.
There was nothing unusual i'm objects trav=
cling long distances umd er such propulsion. Amd
gravity dictated the point at which the wheel
must come to earth. The house and the wonam
being i'm the deadly path were co=imcidemtals of
regrettable tragedy. But to listen to the average
conversation ON the subj ct ONE would think God
concocted diabolica sc neme to kill this poor girl
eor some unexplained de reflection or to keep her
from having the pleasure of living beyond the linn
il set by Him.
Such widespread su perstitiOn and fallacious
reasoning warps our men taity and tells the story
of our weakness as race.

Hoover Disregards the Race Again
By WGliam Conklin Broom

and South.
The Republican party still
holds to the forlorn hope of Gre
ating Republican sentiment in
the South by throwing the Ne
gro overheard. In our mind this
delusion has become chronic
with the party, and the sooner
they get over it the better. A
few Southern States went Re-
publican in 1923 in an abnormal
political year, when RUM,
RACE and ROMANISM was
the issue. The South is still
Democratic, as will be seen by
the returns of the recent State
elections, in the States that went
Republican. Mr.. Hoover and
the Republican party are travel
ing on dangerous grounds
to gain a state or two in the
South and lose several of the
large Northern States. where
the Negro VOTE is a factor,
might not look so well nor count
so easy, the day after the COM
ing congressional and presiden-
tial elections.
1t is reasonable to believe that
certain qualifications were nee
essary in the appointment of
the commission, especially con-
corning the tongue of French
that is used in the little black
republic, but there were many
whom we could name that could
nave qualified.
There was Emmett ]. Scott,
Howard University; Bishop
Hurst, of the A. M. E. Church,
and Professor Logan, Union
University, with not only the
language requirement but who
had had actual domicile expert
ence in Haiti. A President who
disregards congressional recon-
mendation and our most power
full organization, the N. A. A.
G. P, and all race leaders may
find out at election time that he
has erred, especially in New
York, Indiana, Illinois or other
pivotal States.

With few exceptions 1929 was the
hest wear for business since the War,
Notwithstanding Wall Street had us
biggest disaster. Life insurance COM
panies put on nearly 20 billion DOL,
lars in new business in force, ana
during the past ten years the amount
of life insurance on American lives
has been doubled and prophets have
already declared that we will witness
another ten years of equal success.
Think of it: 1t took our companies
30 wears to put on their first 30 bill
lion dollars worth of insurance In
force, and during the past ten years
another so billion was added, with
the prediction that the next ten years
will witness another doubling OF in
surance in force. In other words,
we will see 200 billion dollars insur-
ance in force in 1910.
Assets held in trust for the pro-
lection of the 100 billion insurance
now in force exceed seventeen bill
lion dollars. Probably the most sig
nificant statement made about the
assets of these companies is that the
value of these assets had not been
materially changed by the stock
market debauch of October and No
vember of 1929. In other words. the
value of your life insurance policy
has not been changed by the episode.
On account of the wise limitation
of legislative enactment and the high
ideals of it's management, the bust
ness of life insurance has been COM
uletely associated from the speeu-
lative security market. We are proud
to testify that the North Carolina

On Sunday, January 26th, the
First Baptist Church Sunday School
held its installation exercises at $3.50
P. M. They presented lovely pro-
gram of readings and songs. The
past. present and future of the school
were beautifully set forth by Mr.. c..
E. Glenn, the superintendent; Mrs.
H. S. Glenn and Miss Elaine Friend.
Mr.. C. E. Glenn has. been superin-
tendent Of the school for eleven
years. 1t has made wonderful pro-
gress under his leadership. The in
stallation address was delivered by
Rev. C. A. Cobbs, who in very
forceful manner touched on the high
points of teachers life and work.
Looking on the officers and teachers
and listening to the discourse of the
pastor we felt that surely we are
starting our years work under very
favorable circumstances.
Sunday, February 2nd, at P. M,
the funeral of Miss Maggie c. Lewis
was had. Her death came as a great
shock to her many friends. Rev. C.
A. Cobbs preached the funeral SER
mon. We shall remember her as he
pictured her as mot dead" but "her
sun has gone down while it is yet
day"
Immediately following. the funeral
of Mrs. Ida w. Branch was had. She
also died very suddenly. She left a
husband and six children. Rev. Cobbs
preached the funeral. In the midst
of all this sadness comes blessed
thought that Mrs. Watkins knew that
her earthly house would dissolve
away" and she had sought "the
building not make by hands," but
eternally in heaven.

UalesS President Hoover
should appoint Congressman
DePriest as one of the two re-
naming members that are to
be appointed to the Haitian
Commission, he will have again
disregarded the race and the
appeal of it's leaders and the rec
concentration of Congressman
Fish, of New York, that a
NEGRO be appointed on the
commission. Last week we
called the attention of our read
ers to the seemingly close rela-
tionship that existed between
DIR. Robert r. Motion, principal
of Tuskegee Institute, and the
President. News dispatches
show that DIR. Motion was a visi-
tor at the White House last
week and gave out the state
ment that he discussed farm
ingS' among Negroes with the
President. A few days later
President Hoover announced
the appointment of the Haitian
Commission and named DIR. Mo-
ton as a kind of an auxiliary
to the commission to study "ed-
ueational" conditions in Haiti,
ito work with the commission"
We are too sympathetic to
believe that DR.. Motion would
release this information to the
public to beguile them, for even
if he had been pledged to secre-
cy, silence would have been
more appropriate. It is begin
ming to get ''in the wind" that
President Hoover does not in
tend to publicly recognize the
race, as an appeal for Southern
VOTES. Or rather in an effort
to build up al strong "Lily
White" party in the South. This
may or may not be clever politi-
cal strategy. Nevertheless, if
DIR. Notion is allowing himself
to be used as a tool to- blind his
race, he will not only lose the
respect of the Negroes, but hi
viii also lose the resnect nj
thousands of whites both NORTH

five thousand policyholders, many OF
whom have lived to mature their
policies and draw the face value in
cash. We have many Of the best men
and women of the race insured and
every policy has adequate reserve
behind it to promptly mature it.
We closed the year 1929 with
over S3,5O0,O00 in gilt-edge assets
invested in sound securities, nearly
S2,OO0,OOO of which are loaned to
our policyholders on first mortgage
improved city property and the COM
pany's own policies.
In anticipation we are working
hard to make this the most profitable
and successful year in our compa-
ny's history. 1929 gave US the big
pest increase in Industrial debit
Since 1922. According to the general
impressions about the future of the
life insurance business, we are hop
ing to double our business IN force
as we'll as our assets during the next
ten years. ., ,.uo
A three and half million dollar
sinking fund for our policyholders,
people, with mortgages and policy
giving employment to nearly l,OO0
loans of over two million dollars,
alto members of our own race, and
no stock liability, is no mean record
for a company managed and owned
in it's entirety by Negroes just o1
years from the shackles OF slavery.
We take this method of thanking
the public, the press, the pulpit ana
our policyholders especially, for their
confidence and support in making
this one of the greatest service sta
tions of the Race in America.
