LEAVES FOR NUNIVAK
It sounds like a perpetual va
cation—but it’s all in the line of
i work for Amos Berg.
With loaded camera he tours
: the world, and when one job’s
1 done, he hops a plane or clam- i
i bers aboard a beat or train and
aims his lens at another corner
of the globe.
Last week it was the train out
of Fairbanks Amos Berg board
j ed. bound for Anchorage and
then to Nunivak Island. There,
for the National Geographic So
ciety. who writes his checks, he
will photograph native life.
His next assignment is a cruise
around South America, captur-'
ing on film, folk dances and
dramatized legends of the native'
peoples.
After that—it may be back to'
the bomb-scarred streets of Lon-j
don. The last time he peered thru \
his vew-finder in England it was
Coronation Day.

PILOT SAM WHITE LEAVES
WILDLIFE SERVICE FOR WAA
—
After 15 years as Flying Wild
ife Agent with the Alaska Game
Commission, during which time
he pioneered the use of aircraft
l in protecting and conserving
wildlife in the Territory, Sam O.
; White of Fairbanks has resigned
to enter the commercial field of
aviation.
As chief pilot for the Wien Air
ways, White will continue to fly
: over the routes long familiar to
i him as haunts of game and fur
and he will, in his own words
I “continue to take deep interest in
the wildlife.”
The commission is still ponder
ing on the difficult task of finding
a successor. Said Frank Du-1
Fresne, executive officer:
“Sam White’s skill in flying,
' his knowledge of Alaska’s wild
' erness and his keen love for
wildlife won him national recog
' nition. No successor has yet been
' named.”
! KEY INDUSTRIES
! NEED APPRENTICES
—
j St. Louis, Sept. — A Federal
Labor Department official, Wil
liam Patterson, said that in the
three key defense industries —
aviation, machine tools, and ship \
building —these exist in many j
quarters what he called a deplor
able apathy toward an adequate:
apprentice training program.
Patterson added that a few out:
standing companies are carrying
the training load in each of these
industries. Patterson, chief of the
apprenticeship division of labor
standards, spoke to members of
the International Association of
Government Labor Officials meet
ing in St. Louis.
He pointed out that state labor
officials cannot make a greater
contribution to national defense
than to assist in promoting ap
prenticeship and other so-called
“in plant” training needs of de
fense plants in various parts of
the nation.
