Freuchen, famous explorer and
author who is widely known for his
motion picture Eskimo" will trans
fer his urge for exploration to new
fields when he goes on the air for the
first time on Saturday, February
End. He will be heard on the Colum-
bia Network Soconyland Sketch
"The Great White Teacher" which
is an adaptation of the story by the
same name.
A Dane by birth, a graduate of the
University of Copenhagen and an
honorary member Of the exclusive
Explorers Club, Captain Freuchen
is hailed as the greatest living au-
thority on the Eskimo. He lived
twenty-seven years within the Arc
tic Circle, twelve of which he spent
consecutively among the natives,
completely isolated from civiliza-
tion. During the world war he was
stranded above "the circle" as at
that time no ships were travelling to
the Arctic
Captain Freuchen is a great friend
of Ruth Bryan Owen, U. S. Ambassa-
dor to Denmark, and close asso-
ciate of Rasmussen the explorer.

During the recent controversy
over whether or not Peary had
reached the North Pole, Captain
Freuchen championed Peary, saying
that he had examined therecords and
believed implicitly in Captain Peary.
He has recently completed two
new books that have been printed in
the Danish language, "Ivalu" and
book on the life of Rasmussen.
Translations OF these will appear
shortly in this country and in Eng
land.
He is happiest, by his own admis-
sion, among the Eskimos, and his
greatest wish is that white people
know more about them and be able
to understand them more thorough

"The Great White Teacher" is a
thrilling story of an escaped convict
who makes his hiding place among
the Eskimos above the Arctic Circle.

Examining a poinsettia given to
him year ago as Christmas dec

too expensive for commercial devel-
Opment and its use deemed imprac-
ticable because the sap soured in a
few hours.
Experimentation with other varie-

brought the discovery that the mix
