Returns Nome
F. E. Roberts, manager of the
Mirow Air Service returned to
Nome Friday evening via Anchor
age from an extended business
trip which took him toWashing
ton. D. C.
At the national capital Mr Ro
berts conferred with the head
quarters of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority concerning company
mail contracts, their proposed
certificates of convenience to op
erate schedule airlines through
out Alaska; and information con
cerning the operation and main
tenance of radio stations in con
nection with the airline’s routine
business.
From there he returned to Cal
ifornia and while at San Fran
cisco purchased a Stinson Reliant
a four-place monoplane which
was shipped by boat from Seat
tle to southwestern Alaska. The
plane is expected to be flown into
Nome this week, he said from
Anchorage.
Discussing business in general
Mr. Roberts said; “With the great
influx of returning miners and
business people from the States
during the next three months
the Mirow Air Service expects to
have in operation over the Nome
Anchorage air route their tri
motored Stinson and Lockheed
Vega planes after April 1st.
“The Lockheed, a six-passen
ger plane has been on this route
all winter and has justified the
company’s bid for permanent es
tablishment of the Nome-Anchor
age airline.”
“Before returning to Alaska”
said Mr. Roberts, “I talked to
representative agents and manag
ers of travel bureaus along the
West Coast and in the east. They
informed me that they are de
luged with requests for informa
tion concerning travel routes,
costs acomodations and scenic at
tractions in Alaska. This they be
lieve is due largely to the fact
that with Europe closed to Ameri
can travelers, they are turning
their attention to Alaska as a
place to visit and spend their
vacations.”
“With respect to mining on our
own section of Alaska, I find that
the operators are all actively in
terested in going ahead with de
velopment work and production;
and it looks good for Nome” said
Mr. Roberts.

.LITTLE SISTER will want a certain small print we have in
gay "funny-paper" colors. The 'teen age will insist upon a
gay new floral and a geometric print for good measure.
You'll want several of these new "crispy" patterns for
yourself. Our ABC fine percales explain why Paris dress
makers grow fonder and fonder of cottons. They are abso
lutely fast color, your money back if they fade. They keep
their lovely brilliant finish. What's more, you can dress the
whole family in them on practically no budget at all.
