SEWARD REVIVES UNDER
EFFECTS NEW PROGRAM
Seward is taking a new lease
on life, and never was more op
timistic of the future, despite the
Portage-Bay railroad terminal
project. Many transfers of real
estate have been made recently,
i and a number of new business
J structures and homes are plan
ned for immediate construction.
Reports to this effect were brot
to Fairbanks by Davis Runyan,
manager for Waechter Brothers.
Company, after a visit to Seward,
where he inspected his com
pany's branch shop. Mr. Runyan
was accompanied by Mrs. Run
yan on the trip.
The revival of Seward, said
: Mr. Runyan, is due to the de
fense program, especially the es
tablishment of the new Army
post near the city, where sev
eral hundred troops already are
stationed. Naval activities in the
vicinity also are helping.
Among the new buildings!
planned for early construction in
Seward said Mr. Runyan, is a
large business structure for Stan
ton and Baiderson. Ninety lots■
which were held by the city, i
have been released so that they
are available for erection of horn
1 es, not a few of which are expect
ed to be erected for acccmoda
| tion of Army officers.
The proposed new Kenai Pen
insula road, to connect up with
the Anchorage-Palmer-iRichard-1
son Highway system also is ad-;
ding to the optomistic outlook of
the people of Seward.

RAINBOW SKYWAYS
PLANE TALK
_
! This past week, several pairs
of hopefully anxious eyes have
scanned the stormy skies looking
for a patch of blue. These are
! the young fledglings ready to solo
and eager to test their wings
alone. However, Civil Aeronau
tics Regulations require that all
students receive instruction in
stalls and tail spins before their
first solo flight. Taiispins require
three or four thousand feet of al-1
titude and that’s about three or
four thousand feet more than it
has been here in Nome the past
week.
On W e dnesday afternoon,
things looked hopeful. Several
breaks in the overcast and above
that several thousand feet of
good visibility. Instructor Whal
ey snapped a parachute on a stu
dent and another on himself and
took off before the weather
would decide to change again.
The student was Neva Whaley,
his wife. After the necessary spin
instruction, she was allowed to
solo. The weather closed in af
ter that leaving the other fledg-'
lings gnashing their teeth, but
one felt triumphant and grate- j
ful. « >
Ed Snyder and Tony Johansen
are both awaiting their spin in-'
struction prior to their first solo
flight. Kevin Walsh and Freddie
Wade will then be next in line
after a few more hours dual in
struction. With the first break j
in the weather, if you see the;
training plane going through
some very strange maneuver, it
will probably be one of the fledg
lings receiving instructions in
what happens when an airplane
is allowed to slow down sufficient
!y to where it stops flying and
starts falling.
Some new students have start
ed training: Sterling Montague,
Bob Lindsey, Earl Ward and Bert
j Beltz.
