Mayor Proud of KFAR

In his remarks, Dr. Hughes said: We have all brough visit OTIS here to the studios and to the transmitter station, and have heard them remark-'I didn't ex pect to see anything like tis way up here. We who are here and have enjoyed the fine programs put on over this station in the past three years, appreciate the hard work and thought which has been necessary 10 make them possible KFAR is a station of which any city could be justly proud

ic. In fact, they have been so democratic that it is easy to for get that this an organization pri vately owned and operated. We have been made to feel that this station IS ours, and we have been granted liberal use of it's facil- tiles. On behalf of the public schools of Fairbanks l wish to express our appreciation of the many privileges exended to us.
 This station has been a great factor in assisting the educatiVe process. Our school work is great ly motivated by the opportunity our children have for displaying their wares over the air. It has been distinctly noticeable that our students are much better in formed, particularly in world af- fairs, since REAR came into be- ing. All of this we appreciate, and I am pleased ot have this op- portunity of saying, Thank You.
 NIT. LOmen-s Talk
 The address by Mir. Lomen in part: "I have recently read a book entitled The Keys of Free book entitled The Keys of the Kingdom by Dr. J. A. Kronan. Neither the plot scene or context of the novel are suggestive of Al aska but somehow the title on this occasion suggests to me those important keys; transport ation and communication, with out which country remains provincial and small.
 KFAR is indeed one of the keys which has and which will continue to open up this vast AL a5ka Empire. The expanded good which can be accomplished by this Station is in direct propor- ton 10 the expanded power of the station. Many of us who in the studio this evening have Waehed the growth of Alaska and have participated in it's de velopment. I recall Nome before the advent of the Alaska Com munication System. Without the telegraph we depended upon mails which frequently during the winter months were seventy five days by dog team from Val dez. There was no Fairbanks or the maps at that time and the Alaska Railroad was not in con- temptation. The International H ghWay was as remote as a tur nel under Bering Strait; which incidentally had been conceived though he highway had not"

Voice Of Radio Station kFAR With
 Increased Power Relayed To World

Tie voice of KFAR was heard pretty much throughout the world Saturday when the Fair. banks station celebrated its first day of broadcasing with new 5000 watt power.
 The inaugural program broad cast from KFAR's studio in the afternoon was sent by short wave 10 San Francisco which relayed il over a coas-to-coast NEG net work. And two New York short, wave stations, WRCA and WNBI beamed it to Latin America and Europe
 Meanwhile, Saturday nigh, Sta ton KGEI at San Francisco de voted half hour program for AlaSka's benefit, broadcasting a mock trial of Capt. Austin E. Lathrop, president of the Mid night Sun Broadcasting Company which operates REAR.
 "Disturbing The Peace"
 On the program were Alaskan old-timers now living around San Francisco, who put Capt Lathrop on trial for disturbing the peace with a new. fangled thing called radio
 KFAR engineers say the new power has resulted, as was ex- pected, in covering most of AL aska easily. Points which for merly received the local station only in the nighttime, now re- celve its programs with equal volume during the daylight hours.
 As example IS Barrow, where Sergeant Stanley Morgan of the U. s Signal Corps, informed KFAR that its programs are laundering" in now during the 54s

 Station REAR is certainly to be congratulated upon its new equipment. But more than. that, Fairbanks in particular-and the people of Alaska in general are to be congratulated. For they are the benefciaries.
 The power of the radio is tre mendous, and at this particular time, the radio is a predoninate factor in our very grim struggle with the Axis powers. It's power to influence, encourage, discou- rage, educate, and to generally inform IS mequaled by any oth- CT single enterprise or institu- tion

Radio "WeldS" Us

We are faced with an all-out need for an all-our effort and the radio is the greatest single force in welding us, and all the peo- pies in our United Nations, into the one great cohesive whole which is so necessary to our sue cess.
 T believe that of all the new inventions of the 20th Century, Radio Is the greatest. One can but imagine what a tremendous blessing KFAR has been to thoS2 hundreds of people who live far away from communication cen ters in Alaska. l remember be fore radio when miners and pros pectors came into town, We had to tell them all the news but now when they come, they can tell us something.

News Fresh Now

'DeWey's great victory at Man fla Bay in July 1898 was not known in Dawson, Yukon Terri tory until six weeks later when some energetic man had some how procured a Seattle paper containing detailed account of that historic battle and which he read to us at a dollar head in hired hall In the years that have passed since, we have been bene fitted by many wonderful inn provements for our every day use, but often we fail to appre- ciate these really worthy bless ings until perhaps someday it might dawn on us we could lose them.'
 Captain Lathrop for the last twenty years or more has been identified with the very perman- ent development of Fairbanks and Interior of Alaska but his greatest work it seems to me, is Station KFAR as it stands today and which will remain as a monu ment 10 Captain Lathrop for years to come.

 Talk By Bloom
 The address given by MT Bloom follows in part:
 Three years ago we congrat- uIated REAR for having the best broadcasting facilities in the Territory of Alaska Now we con gratulate KFAR for taking an other stride ahead by increasing its power fve-fo When fur ther improvements are made in radio service to Alaskan's we may rest assured that KFAR will be out in the lead
 Those of us who follow teach ing as a profession appreciate the importance of radio as an agency foe disseminating knowledge and for influencing public opinion. No other agency plays so important a part in guiding the thinking of American people than the radio; but it's possibilities are not linn tied by international boundaries.

EASTER SHOPPERS
FEEL EFFECTS OF
WAR RESTRICTIONS
More Money to Spend This
Year, But Market Offers
Fewer Things to Buy
Selection in Many Lines of
Easter Finery Reflects Mill
tary Program

More money for Easter shopping
but fewer things to buy because of
wartime restrictions mark this years
pre-holiday scene, business observers
pointed out Tuesday.
With practically no unemployment
in the district, farm income at high
levels, and wages on an upward spiral
there is more money in circulation
this spring than in many a year.
Merchandise offered for sale, how
ever, has been sharply curtailed with
shortages even ma.erializing in the
supply of gay fnery additionally as
sociated with the Easter season.
No fancy trimmings can be ex-
pected in Easter wrappings" this
year, women find hose and footwear
limited, and men, top will feel the
pinch, for new suits will me made up
with cuffless trousers.
Plenty of food is available however
altho restrictions apply to sale of
sugar and there is a noticeable short
age of tunafish and pineapple.
Prices of foodstuffs have net in
creased particularly thus far in the
wartime economy, and Easter tables
this year likely will bear bountiful
repasts the equal of any previous
year.
Eggs, one of the staples of the
Easter season are commanding prices
ranging from 26 to 30 cents per doz
en-. This compares with last year.:
quotations of % to 70 cents.
Shortages in Easter finery serve al
reflection of the general business
picture in which the pinch of war j!
gradually becoming more and mor'
apparent.
Barred for weeks from purchas
iag new automobiles, tires or tubes
typewriters and many standard item
| of rubber goods, residents of the are
are finding fewer and fewer things o.
which their increased income can b

Latest restrictions include the ba,
