NEW7 ROUTE PROVES
UP VERY WELL
Winter flight tests on the new
air route from Seattle to Juneau
are progressing very satisfactor
ily with the new Sikorsky am
phibian, Joe E. Crosson, general
manager of Pacific Alaska Air
ways, said on his return to Fair
banks.
Pan American is the mother of
PAA, and the new service is a
Pan American route.
“Eight test or survey flights
have been completed over the
route, and two more will be
made after the first of the year,”
Mr. Crosson said. .
“Then the plan is to give reg
ular weekly service — up from
Seattle to Juneau on Friday, and
back to Seattle on Monday. This
schedule links up with PAA's
Fairbanks—Juneau service.”
Faiobanksans and other resi
dents of the Interior are hope
fully looking forward to the day
when there will be regularly
scheduled air mail service over
the Seattle-Juneau route, connect
ing with the Fairbanks—Juneau
air mail service.
Summer flight tests were made
over the route with a Sikorsky,
and recently a new Sikorsky am
phibian equipped for winter fly
ing began cold-weather flight
tests.
“The new Sikorsky is an im
proved model,” Mr. Crosson said.
The 15-passenger plane has full
de-icing equipment, double rud
ders, and full-feathering hydro
matic propellers.”
Mr. Crosson was Outside seven
weeks, and returned on the Elec
ira from Juneau. On his way out
I
he attended the Will Rogers
Memorial dedication at Clare
more, Okla., then went to Pan
American headquarters in New
York City, and to Civil Aero
nautics Authority headquarters
in Washington, D. C.
About Those Bears
Through Pan American Air
ways, arrangements have been
made to take Her eld Gillum's
three polar bears to zoos in the
East.
The bears are to be flown out,
one to Cleveland, Ohio; one to
New York City, and one to
Brooklyn.
“They will be taken out by
plane just as soon as possible,”
Mr. Crosson said. Just how they
will be caged for the trip, or
which plane will take them to
Juneau, has not been decided.
They will be flown south from
Juneau in the new Sikorsky.
The bears were flown from Pt.
Barrow to Fairbanks by pilot
Gillam when they were little
fellows. Now almost full grown,
they attract many callers at the
Gillam Air Lines hangar on the
southeast comer of the airport.
Named Brewster, Tilly and Lil,
they live in a stockade adjacent
to the hangar.

Roll Call Be Made
Overdue 1038 Red Cross Roll
Call to be Held Week Begin
ning Jan. 15.
For certain unavoidable rea
sons, the Roll Call that Should
j have been taken last fall was
postponed until the present time.
During the week beginning Jan.
15, therefore, the people of Nome
will be given the opportunity to
join the Red Cross and so have
a part in the magnificent work
: of mercy that the organization is
carrying on in the nation.
The chairman of the Roll Call
for this year, Mr. Widney, since
acepting this responsibility, has
encountered a surprising amount
of hostility against the organiz
ation, most of which, he feels cer
tain, must have arisen through a
misunderstanding of the facts.
The chairman thinks it wise,
therefore, at the beginning of
this effort, to confront the public
with some rather startling facts.
The writer does not claim to
have personal knowledge of the
difficulties that arose over dis
tribution of Red Cross funds at
the time of the fire. From the
records, however, he believes
that the rules for dispensation
of aid were fair, and were fairly
administered. That some mis
takes were made thru errors in
judgement or information, is cer
tainly possible. If they were
made, they were most regrett
able. It can hardly be possible,
however, that any one would
hold a grudge against the organ
ization because of p°rsona! dis
appointments in this respect.
The fact is that the Red Cross
had functioned as a most effect
ive accident insurance policy for
Nome. Since 1926, Nome and vic
inty has contributed toward the
work of the Red Cross $2900.50.
But the Red Cross, responding to
Nome’s emergencies, has given
back to Nome more than $21,000.
The Red Cross has given to
Nome more than 18,000 per cent
more than Nome paid in! In our
judgement that is very good re
turns pn our investment.
That is only part of the story.
If we go back to the year 1918.
the amount contributed to Nome
by the Red Cross would amount
to $45,900.73.
And what about the future? In
view of Nome's history, no one
would care to defend the prob
ability that Nome will experien
ce no more disasters. The menace
of high water, of fire, of epidem
ic, always confronts us. Does any
one want to say that in the ev
ent of one of these, Nome should
refuse to accept the relief of our
suffering thru the agency of the
Red Cross? (We thought not).
Then, why in the name of fair
ness and common decency, and
of sheer self interest, why should
we not pay cheerfully the few
paltry dollars asked of us to help
in the relief of some other hard
hit locality in the nation?
