New Routes
And Rates By
PAA Sought
A report to the effect an appli
cation was filed by the Pacific
Alaska Airways to allow a sched
uled transportation service be
tween Fairbanks and Seattle
with stops at Anchorage, Juneau
and Ketchikan and permit for
abandonment of service to White
horse, Tan across and Burwash
Landing, “except on flag’’ ap
pears in the magazine, American
Aviation of September 1. The re
port also says application was
made for alteration of airmail
payments on routes of the com
pany’s service in Alaska.
The article mentioned reads as
follows:
“Application seeking payment
of $3.35 per mile in each direc
tion for the carriage of air mail
on its Seattle-Juneau route, and
for rate increases on Juneau,
Whitehorse-Fairbanks, Fairbanks
Nome and Fairbanks-Bethel, w'as
filed with the Civil Aeronautics
Board on August 15 by Pacific
Alaska Airways, Pan American
subsidiary.
“On Juneau-Whitehorse (FAM
15) Whitehorse-Fairbanks (FAM
16) and the Fairbanks-Nome,
Fairbanks-Bethel star routes
PAA claims that it has been able
to develop and maintain the ser
vices ‘only by virtue of large
advances made by its parent and
affiliated companies.’ ”
“Rates asked are as follows:
(a) Seattle-Juneau operated sea
sonally with four-engined ma
rine aircraft twice weekly, $3.35
per mile in each direction; (b)
Juneau - Whitehorse -Fairbanks,
twin-engined landplanes twice
weekly $1.30 per mile in each
direction, except if the CAB
should decide that payment cam
lawfully be made only for north
bound flights from Juneau to
Whitehorse and for southbound
flights from Fairbanks to White
horse, applicant proposes $2.60
per mile with no charge made
for U. S. mail on southbound
Whitehorse-Juneau or north
bound Whitehorse - Fairbanks
flights; (c) Fairbanks-Nome and
Fairbanks-Bethel, twin-engined
landplanes twice weekly, $1.50
per mile in each direction.
“The foregoing rates would be
for a maximum of 800 lbs. for
four-engined equipment and 300
lbs. for twin-engined planes,
with payment at the rate of 1.2
mills per lb.-mile for excess. Re
quest was made that the Seattlc
Juneau rate be effective from
June 4, 1940, and the remainder
from Sept. 28, 1938.
New Route
“Pacific Alaska also petitioned
for amendment and consolidation
of its Seattle-Ketchikan-Juneau,
Juneau-Whitehorse and White
1 horse-Fairbanks certificates, so
1 as to authorize scheduled trans
portation between Seattle and
Fairbanks with stops at Ketchi
kan, Juneau and Anchorage, and
to permit abandonment of ser
vice to Whitehorse, and to Tan
ana Crossing ad Burwash Land
ing, except on flag. The company
asks that the consolidation be
come effective at such time as
I land aiports suitable for opera
' tion of four-engined landplanes
fecome available, probably by
Oct. 1, 1941.
Purpose of this petition, PAA
states is to renew the company’s
previous request for permission
to operate by a route “proceed
ing wholly over American terri
tory.”
“At such time as four-engined
landplanes are used on the Seat
' tle-Fairbanks route and with
[some schedule increases, the com
I pany believes the following low
er rates would be fair and rea
sonable: (1) Seattle-Fairbanks,
daily service, $1.15 per mile in
each direction; (2) Fairbanks
Nome, twin-engined equipment,
four trips weekly $1.10 per mile
and (3) Fairbanks-Bethel, twin
engined equpiment, twice weekly
$1.45 per mile.”

AWKWARD SQUAD
There's a fellow drilling next to
me
■V
Who waves his dog-gone gun.
The way he grunts and heaves
his piece
■ ♦’ k it weighed a ton.
If he ha.id.led his knife and fork
The way he does his “g"'.”
He’d fork the meat from off my
plate.
And feed it to his hat.
Yes, he handles his rifle
Like 3 farmer pitching hay—
And he jabbed it up my nearby
nose.
When we came to “port” today.
And when he brought it dowm
again.
With the wor'd to set it on.
He missed the cock-eyed world,
by Gosh,
And set it on my corn.
I like to be a Christian
And 1 say my prayers with
thanks.
But I'll never quit my cussin’
Till they change my place in
ranks.
