The lectures | parration regarding | scene, and the s | eclored films taken in the Territory. {Included in the film collection are consisted of the Alaskan | pictures of a whale fight, reputed | to be the only such one in exis tence. Hook said that oi the total num- ber to whom he spoke while in 'the states, not more than 55 were aware that Alaska has a flag “That not bheing bad enough,” Hook centinued, “a good jof those without knowledge of the Alaskan flag were former residents lof the Territory.” | Hook drove approximately 34,000 imiles' during his lectures and was |faced with a sizeable problem only once. When coming from a hotel |in Lawrence, Kansas, he walked |down the street to where his car {was parked. “I looked at the li- cense plates and they were from | Alaska alright,” Hook said, “but !when I glanced at the car yas both the wrong make and color. { Although momentarily stymied, the | confusion was cleared with a mo- | ment’s observation another jcar. also bearing Alaska plates, had | parked right next to his.
