MAJOR GAFFNEY PLANS
TO FLY TO METLAKATLA
Co-ordination :>i developments
on a Civil Aeronau’ ic.i Authority
radio range station and a United
States Army Air Cr.ns intermed
iate landing field wtll take Major
Dale V. Gaffney to Metlakaila
for one week.
The commanding officer of the
Ladd Field Air Corps post left
Fairbanks via PAA Elec Ira for
Juneau. He will travel from Ju
neau to Metlakatala by boat.
Surveys have already been in
itiated for the landing field, the
major stated.
Gaffney’s trip to southeastern
Alaska follows several weeks dur
ing which, in his own Army ob
servation plane, he has made fam.
aliarization flights to points thru
out central Alaska. He has in
spected airports and existing fac
ilities at Fort Yukon, Seward,
Anchorage, Nome and intermed
iate points, accompanied on his
flights by Lieutenant Marvin E.
Walseth of the Air Corps.
By a freak of circumstances
the major landed at Fort Yukon
the same day Pilot Noel Wien
had put down in the river com
munity. Wien was the first pilot
ever to land at Fort Yukon. Ma
jor Gaffney’s landing there was
the first by a U. Army plane.
Major Gaffney announced the
probability that another U. S.
Army transport will be assigned
immediatey to supplement the
St. Mihiel in bringing freight
northward for the Anchorage and
Fairbanks military projects. The
St. Mihiel is now enroute to San
Francisco after making its third
call at Seward with materials for
Ladd Field. - ,
No word has been received as
to which ship will be added to
the Alaska run with the St.
Mihiel.

BUILDING UP THE MARKET for Alaska’s No. 1
product is mighty important to all people in Alaska. And
again this year, the Industry is out to sell America on
Canned Salmon and keep it sold! Intensive advertising in
the States is teaching housewives the nutritive values
and economy of Canned Salmon. Millions of magazine
ads . . . recipes on the food pages of newspapers—are
telling women how to serve more Canned Salmon in
delicious new ways. The cooperation of grocers, too, has
been enlisted to push Canned Salmon sales in their stores.
All over the U. S. the forces of advertising, publicity,
and promotion are at work building a more stable market
for Alaska’s major food product. A market that will mean
protected prosperity for every Alaska family.
Shortage of Coastal Carriers
Threatens Canned Salmon
• ■ ■ ■■ -
SEATTLE — Steps designed to
keep Alaska’s canned salmon
moving into consumption in spite
of possible disruption and reduc
tion of shipping service as an ef
feet of the war have highlighted
the marketing activity on can
ned samon during the past few
weeks it was revealed this week
at a meeting of the Pacific Can
ned Salmon Distributors Associa
tion.
Activity looking toward keep
ing up a normal movement of
the yet to be produced 1040 can
ned samon pack into consuming
centers has been in two phases.
The first program now appar
ently successfully completed, was
concerned with assuring ship
ping space in intercoastal steam
ers during the fall months, when
a movement of approximately
60,000 tons of canned samon to
Gulf and Atlantic coast ports in
anticipated. The second phase is
an effort to secure lower carload
weight requirements and a rate
reduction from the transcontin
ental railroads.
The salmon industry united
with representatives of lumber,
pulp, flour, wool and other im
portant Pacific Northwest pro
ducts to draw attention of the
Maritime Commission to the con
dition facing Northwest shippers
resulting from withdrawal of
many intercoastal ships during
the past few months. Tonnage
serving this area has been dras
ticaly reduced because shipping1
companies have sold or chartered1
boats for other routes.
With the withdrawal of Nor- i
wegian and Danish ships from
traffic, shipping space on all
routes has been reduced and
many American carriers have
been diverted to other routes.
As a result of the action of i
Northwest shippers and other
Pacific Coast interests, the Mari-1
time Commission asked Congress)
to pass the Buck Bill which au
thorized the Commission to sell
or charter old U. S. ships which
had been laid up. These ships are
all over 20 years old.
The Pacific Canned Samon Dis
tributors Association, aided by
the Association of Pacific Fisher
ies and indivdual saltmon pack
ers, are now working with the
transcontinental railroads in an
effort to secure a reduction of
the minimum car load require
ment of the railroads on hauls to
eastern and upper Mississippi!
valey points, and a reduction in
the rail rate to Atlantic seaboard
points.
Because water shipment space
is expected to be scarce even
with the passage of the Buck Bill
this reduction of rail rates and
I
weight minimums is being sought |
so that canned salmon can be i
moved into consuming markets !
with tre least amount of incon- j
venience and unnecessary ex
pense.
While war conditions are apt
to bring about higher costs of
transportation on canned salmon,
the Distributors Association and
the industry as a whole are en
deavoring to keep transportation
costs as low as possible in the
domestic market, F. Leo White,
president of the Distributors As
sociation said in discussing their
activities.
