On Aviation
Canada and the United States,
have joined hands in Alaska and
Yukon air transport.
Recently a great U. S. Army
bomber, to be stationed at one of
the new Alaska air bases, winged
its way across central B. C. From
Spokane the big ship jumped to,
Prince George where a magnifi
cent natural airfield is being
quickly improved.
Prince George, which is almost
exactly the geographical center
of British Columbia, will also be
come the key point of a great
north and south traffic in the air.
Spokane to Prince Gsorge to
Whitehorse to Fairbanks —these
are the landing places of the Al
aska-Yukon traffic.
Pan-American Airways has ab
andoned the coastal air route
from Seattle to Juneau The first
season’s test with a clipper ship
turned out badly—too much fog
and ran along the coastal area.
Hereafter American passenger
planes will be routed through
from Seattle to Fairbanks, via
the inland plateau route across
British Columbia, making stops
at Prince G orge and White
horse.
Cooperation
New emergency landing fields
will be developed as quickly as
weather permits. Pan-American
is working hand in hand with
Yukon Southern Air Transport
Co, which has pioneered the
route from Vancouver to White
horse.
Under the program, which in
volves the expenditure of about
$100,000 on landing field, radio
equipment and another unstated
amount on at least six new fields
on the Vancouver - Whitehorse
route, Pan-American will have

COMMONWEALTH DAY
CELEBRATED JUNEAU
WITH DINNER DANCE
_ !
Marking Juneau's social calen
dar for the month was the
banquet and dance which was
given in the Gold Room of the
Baranof Hotel by the Filipino
community in celebration o f
their Commonwealth Day. Ap
proximately one hundred and fif
ty invitations were issued.
Gov. Ernest Gruening, guest
speaker for the evening, called
attention to the significance of
the occasion—the impending lib
eration of the Philippines. He
stressed the fact that while the
warring nations of the world
were taking away th? liberties of
already independent nations, thi9
nation was joining with the
Ph-ilippines in a celebration
which would in 1946, give to a
dependent country its independ
ence. He also mention d, that
with conditions as they are at
the present, a mutual agreement
l between the United States and
the Philippines might postpone
the scheduled independence for
a few years longer than planned.1
or at least might modify the con
trol of America over the islands,
but this would be done, he said,
only by mutual agreement.
The invocation was given by
the Rev. Edward C. Budde. Max
Rayela was toastmaster for the'
occasion.
Music was provided by a string,
ensemble and piano selections'
were given by little Juanita Diaz
who showed h"r versatility by
singing ‘‘God Bless America,”
when encored by those present.
Two selections were sung by
