Pietro Vigna
Discribes CAA
!Field*at Galena
Strike an airline arc with Fair
banks and Nome as terminals.
Repeat the process, this time
using Anchorage and Nome as an
ehor points.
Where the two arcs cross the X
will mark the spot—approximate
ly— where the Civil Aeronautics
Administration air field is mov
ing toward completion at Gal
ena on the Yukon.
This geometric exercise was il
lustrated in Faibranks by Pietro
Vigna, former resident of the In
terior city, enroute to Anchorage
from Galena, where he was CAA
associate engineer in charge of
the project.
Known first to Alaskans as a
sculptor, Vigna is now helping
Uncle Sam hew the Territory’s
irregular terrain into fitness for
the wings of commerce and de
fense.
Project Description
The artist-enginner described
the Galena field as a cleared area
1500 feet by 9500 feet, with a
main runway 6,000 by 500 feet.
Alongside the runway is a park
ing area 2,000 by 3,000 feet.
To date 4,000 feet of runway
has been graveled and graded,
and 1? in use by commercial
planes—including the Pan Amer
ican Airways Electra, Vigna said.
Half the length of the parking
area is also available for use.
One of the chief advantages of
Galena site, according to Vigna,
is that it lies at the approximate
half-way mark between Fair
banks and Nome, and Anchorage
and Nome.
The CAA project is under con
tract to the R. J. Sommers Con
sruction Company. Fifty men are
at work on the job. During the
process of clearing 135 natives as
sistants were employed. Equip- j
ment used for the task included1
10 tractors and five giant carry
all scrapers. These pieces of ma-1
chinery were brought to the site
by boat from St. Michael.
Not All Engineering
.Vigna ..flew into ..Fairbanks
from Galena with Pilot Jim Dod-,
son, on his way to the CAA head ,
quarters in Anchorage.
Engineering has not occupied
his full attention the past year.
He is taking to Anchorage with
him a life-size bust of a Bering
Coast Eskimo—a fitting compan
ion piece to his bust of “The
Pioneer” completed in Fairbanks
almost throe years ago.
William Craigie of Fairbanks
ivas Vigna’s model for “The Pio
neer.” Ilis life-pattern for the Es
kimo was Walter Oegnuk of
Vome.
A true friend is the man who
cnows all about you, and still
ikes you.

Germans Are
Extolled to Fight
By Goebbels
BERLIN, Nov. — Propaganda
Minister Goebbels, writing in the
Weekly Das Reich declared “the
Axis Powers are really fighting
for a hare existence and worries'
and distresses which we must all
bear in this war are pale in the;
face of the inferno that awaits us :
if we lose.”
The artie’e also says Hitler’s!
work “often enough is hung by a
silken thread but it is a chance
that Nation must take to hold j
what it now possesses.”
The article tells the German
people “not to ask when victory;
will come but rather to see that
it comes.”
