Arctic Broadcast From Bowdoin Seafaring Service
The Bethany Presbyterian Church of Council Bluffs aired a chapel service from WOAW Omaha aboard the Bowdoin schooner stuck in Arctic ice near North Greenland. Dr. Donald B. MacMillan, the expedition leader, heard the program and praised the music as excellent. A Greenland Refuge Harbor message relayed via Jack Barnesley in Prince Rupert confirmed the positive reception.
