REPAIR SHOP
FOR PLANE
INSTRUMENTS
—
The first complete aircraft in-1
strument repair shop in the Ter
ritory with facilities to repair
gyro, pressure and electrical air
craft instruments was recently!
opened at Merrill Field, Anchor-1
age, by Richard Dewey. He spec-1
ializes in the overhaul, sale and
maintenance of aircraft instru
ments but also repairs commer
cial pressure and electrical met
ers.
Airline poerators have long
wanted these facilities in Alaska
as in the past they have had to
send their instruments to the
States for repairs and sometimes
wait two or three months for
their return.
Mr. Davey is a former Univer
sity of Alaska student, and before
going into business was in a tech
nical capacity with the Army
Air Corps at Anchorage.

RUSSIANS AID !
IN MERCY CALL
A call for help was sent from
St. Lawrence Island, where a Na
tive woman was dying for need
of medical attention. When it was
ascertained that plasma was
needed, a call was sent to the air
plane companies.
Due to the very severe weather
all civilian planes were weather
bound at points other than Nome.
The only plane available was
a Russian plane, which respond
ed to the call and circled over
the island, dropping the neces- j
sary medicine by parachute.
Instructions were given the
nurse there by radio, and thus
another life has been saved, due
to the promptness of our Rus
sian neighbors.
