Glacier Priest Catches Cold On New York Visit: Father Hubbard Wants To Show His Alaskan Movies To Pope. GLACIER PRIEST CATCHES COLD ON NEW YORK VISIT Father Hubbard Wants To Show Eis Alaskan Movies To Pope NEW YORK, March 5. (UP) — Father Bernard R. Hubbard, the "Glacier Priest," who is accustomed to the ice-capped craters it Alaska, came to New York today and, not able to stand the rigours of the climate, promptly caught cold. He sniffled as he inspected his own exhibits at a photographic exhibit and talked of his experiences in the northwest. He thinks his greatest contribution to science is the half-million feet of film and the 50,000 still pictures he has taken of Alaska. "I'm adding to that record, too," he said. "I get about 100,000 feet a year. Some of the material can never be duplicated. I have pictures of volcanoes before, during and after eruptions.'' His next summer's activities in Alaska and British Columbia will center in explorations in a 30-foot steel boat. He believes it will enable him to shoot rapids that otherwise could not be navigated. The priest does not expect his cold to interfere with his scheduled talks here Saturday night. Then he will go south. He plans a trip to Europe before he returns to Alaska in June. He hopes to visit the Vatican and show his pictures to the Pope. Father Hubbard, a member of the faculty of the University of Santa Clara (Calif.), has been carrying on his Alaskan studies for ten years. Mostly they concern the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes and the world's greatest active volcano, Aniakchak.
