■ NAVY OFFERS AIR
| COURSE TO ALASK ANS
Alaska youth interested in av
iation will be given an opportun
ity to receive instruction and
training at Pensacola, Florida,
i with doe Naval Air Corps in the
"very near fu‘urt,” according to
Dr. William Davidson, examining
doctor for the Flight Selection
B ard of the 13th Naval District,
who passed through Juneau from
Seattle last we k.
The doctor is on a preliminary
•tour to make tentative arrange
ments for a coming examinating
board in the Territory.
Men interested are asked to
write Commander Bert Creigh
ton at the Naval Air Station in 1
S attle for full particulars.
According to the doctor, ap
plicants selected from Alaska
will be sent to the Naval Air
Station in Seattle for a 30-day
preliminary flight training course
receiving during that time $54 a
month, subsistence, quarters and
| uniform. Then they will be plac
ed on eligible lists for further
training at Pensacola as vacan- j
cies occur. The time lapse before |
going to the Navy station in Flor
ida may be from one to six
months.
Aviation Cadet
Then the Embryo flier is ap

receive a one-year course in
land and sea planes required of
Naval Aviators. After the com
pletion of the coursa, he receives
a commission as an Ensign in the
U. S. Naval Reserve and is or
dered to duly with an aircraft
squadron.
Dr. Davidson said the examin
ing board will either be formed
at Seattle and sent to tour South
east Alaska and the Westward or
will be formed at Sitka for the
same purpose.
Time before the board is form
ed depends entirely on the num
ber of men in th: Territory inter
ested in the training course.

ICE BREAK-UP DATE
FAIRBANKS, April 25 — Pros
pective early opening of navi
gation on the great inland water
ways of Alaska has been slapped
back by three days by sncw
storms and also a drop in temper
atures which still grip the river
ice in the wide area at Nenana,
the seen; of the Northland's rna-|
jor ice breaking classic.
The ice in the Nenana is still
holding firm and there is little
indication • of the ice breaking
soon. j
Officials of the great ice “going
out” contest r-port over $105,000
in the pool, meaning approximate
ly $95,000 to the forecaster or
forecasters who make the guess
as to the day, hour and minute
of the break-up.
The most popular date pra-i
dieted is May 3 but it may be
later.
Chief W. W. Lawes reports
that Charles Wilcox, who was se
verely burned last Monday, has
stated that he attempted to com-;
mit suicide. Wilcox, who was
v ry despondent, is reported to
have said, that he climbed into
the attic of his cabin, poured |
some gasoline over his head, wait
ed a few minutes for it to run
down onto his clothing and soakj
in, and that he then set fire to j
himself. The fir: department ar
rived at the scene in time to pre
vent Wilcox’s reported plan of|
burning to death.
