WILKESBARRE, April 2 (/Pi
Man is apparently winning the
fight against the flooding Sus
buehanna Riv r but thousands
are temporarily homeless or are
prepared to flee. The water fell
slightly from the overnight crests i
which were barely below those
of disasterous St. Patrick’s Day
flood of four years ago. Six per
sons were drowned in the flood
ed area.
State and federal agencies,
worked side by side to provide;
food and shelter and to guard j
against outbreaks of illness.
MARY JOYCE AIMING
AT PILOT’S LICENSE
—
Mary Joyce, spending the wan
ing winter weeks in Fairbanks
until time to start spring house
cleaning before throwing open
the doors of her Taku lodge near
Juneau, is permitting no edel
weiss to sprout under her muk
luks.
Although best known as one of
the northland’s hardier feminine
dog mushers, she is also a pilot
of sorts. During her spare hours
in Fairbanks she is putting in
time under tutelage of Richard
C. Ragle, aiming at her private
pilot’s license.
Her Fairbanks flying is Miss
Joyce’s first experience in hand
ling a ship on skis. Her earlier
flying training has been in pon
toon ships. She has never take
up a plane on wheels.
