Hear Antarctic Flyer. Hear Antarctic Flyer. COLFAX, Wash., May 14 -- At the meeting of the Kiwanis club, the Rev. Thomas Jessett, scoutmaster of troop No. 95, reported on the progress by the members of the troop. He said that several boys are asking for admission to the troop, which will need one or two additional scoutmasters. The speaker of the day was Orval H. Porter, formerly of Colfax. He told of his experience as a member of Sir Hubert Wilkins' south polar expedition by airplane. He explained the whaling business conducted by the Norwegians and of the marine life to be found there. The party plans to go again next September and will be composed of the same four persons as it was before.
