BISTON 10 FONTR | ACHLLAN PARTY 'Maine Also Pians Celebra- tions to Mark Start of Arctio Explorers. A series of functions are being planned both at Boston and Wiscas- set, Me., to mark the leave-taking of the MacMillan-National Georgraphic Soclety Expedition to hunt an un- known continent in the Arctic. The mayor of Boston has sent out invitations for a luncheon on Mon- day, June 15, at the Copley-Plaza Hotel in honor of Donald B. Mac- Millan, leader of the expedition; Dr. Gilbert venor, president, and John Oliver La Gorce, vice president of the National Geographic Soclety, which sponsors it, and Comdr. Richard E. N., who will have charge the United States Navy planes and personnel On the following da City Club of Boston is having a civic luncheon, at which Dr. Grosvenor, Comdr. MacMillan, Comdr. Byrd and Mr. Gorce will be the honor it The committee arranging the Bunker Hill day celebration in Boston, June 17, in ‘conjunction with the American Legion, is planning a series of exercises in connection with the sailing of the Peary for Wiscasset. From the time the Peary gets into Viscasset, Me., until the Peary and the Bowdoin leave there June 20, the little Maine village, which calls itself “the most beautiful town in Maine,” will be crowded with distinguished Visitor June 16, the a Children Invited. Brewster of Maine has issued rging school children come to Wiscasset on June 20, carrying American flags, to take part in the celebration. Practically every home in the town will have open house on that day to entertain the thousands of visitors. On the, evening of June 19 Gov. Rrewster Is entertaining distinguished men of Maine in homor of Comdr. MacMillan and Dr. Grosvenor. A speaker on that 'occasion will be President Sills of Bowdoin College, the alma mater of Peary, who_dis- covered the North Pole, and Mac- Millan, who hopes to clear up the last of the Far North's jealously- guarded secrets, Comdr. MacMillan received many messages of congratulation following the successful trial trip of the Bow- doin_ Wednesday, June 10. He tried out her new 60-horsepower, 6-cylinder engine, which will run on crude oil, seal oil or whale oil in an emergency. Refrigerator and Fans. Among the Bowdoin's new 'equip- ment is an electric refrigerator and a ventilating fan to go to Greenland. MacMillan explained that these were not to keep cool in the Arctic, but to keep provisions on the way up apd to keep fre men—which include _the wireless operators of WNP (Wireless North Pole) and the scientists the National Geographic Society is sending to study the fish, flowers, birds, tides and tem- peratures of ihe Far North. In the da/¥ goom for developing the natural color photographs—the first to be taken in Ae Far North—is an elec- fan. There are Lsore than a ton of bat teries aboard the Bowdoin. “We can do evervthing by electricity but talk,” said MacMillan, “and one night a_week we need the electricity to do that to. the folks back home.” An important navigating feature of the Bowdoin is the fact that her draft is only 10 feet, equal to the rise and fall ,of the tide, which enables Mac- Millin to beach her at low tide if it is necessary to repair a plank, the rud. der or the propeller. She can'be put in dry dock at every low tide. Dolls Part of Cargo. One of the boxes contains doll babies dressed by little girls in Freeport, Bath, Southport, Boothbay and other Maine towns, to be given to Eskimo children. - MacMillan has promised to deliver them. Also on board are a number of radio receiving sets presented by the Zenith Radio Station, to be left at far porthern stations, including Greenland and Labrador, to break the montony of the long, silent northern nights. For the entertainment of his own men MacMillan has 10,000 feet of mo- tion picture film, mostly comedy reels, which will be shown on Sunday nights.
