Hooper Bay To Get
New Airport In 1959
Engineering firms throughout
the Territory are now being re
quested to submit proposals for
the complete engineering of a
new airport at Hooper Bay, Alas
ka. This request is the first of a
series for the coming 1958 season.
The Department of Aviation has
contacted the various engineer
ing concerns throughout the
Territory.
Plans for the construction of
this airport at Hooper Bay are
included in the Federal Aid Air
port Program for the fiscal period
1959. Construction is planned for
the season of 1959.
Preliminary work by the De
partment of Aviation indicates
that a suitable site is available at
Hooper Bay for the construction
of a 4,000 foot landing strip
which will accomodate DC-3
type of aircraft. The actual
site is located on a sand dune
area which would require stabili
zation and will further require
construction of about 8,000 feet
of access road.
The planned airport will serve
as an alternate to the Cape Ro
manzof installation in addition to
providing better service to the
Hooper Bay area. The popu
lation of Hooper Bay is approxi
mately 450 people. Under the
proposals requested from the
various engineering firms, it is
expected that contract negotia
tions will be commenced within
three weeks with plans, specifi
cations, and contract documents
to be complete and approved by
January 1, 1959.
Other projects to be considered
within the next 40 days are the
following: Arctic Village, Kal
tag, Kivalina, Kobuk, Marshall,
Minto, Noatak, Russian Mission,
and Shishmaref, all projects
scheduled for construction in the
1959 season.

Tuesday.
A key feature of the bill, and
a center of controversy, makes
state participation in the emer
gency program optional.
Participating states could draw
federal funds to extend by as
much as 50 per cent the number
of weeks in which insured work
ers who have exhausted their
benefits could draw unemploy
ment compensation.
In most states this would mean
an additional 13 weeks, but both
the amount of the benefits and
their duration vary from state to
state.
The cost of the program, as
suming states participate, has
been estimated in excess of 600
million dollars.
However, the bill provides for
reimbursement of the federal
advance. The payroll tax on em
ployers in participating states
would be increased, beginning in
1963, unless the money had been
otherwise repaid by the states.

DENVER, UP> — It’s all right,
Mrs. Doris Lukman—you may
wear your chemise—or sack—
dress to work.
Mrs. Lukman went home in
tears Wednesday after her super
visor—also female— at the U. S.
Air Force Accounting and Fi
nance Center made some barbed
remarks about her new chemise.
The supervisor’s superior got
Mrs. Lukman on the phone yes
terday and asked her to return
to work. The supervisor, who
doesn’t approved of sac^c dresses
on the job, was transferred to an
other department.

PLYMOUTH SAVES YOU MONEY ON GAS...
MOBILGAS ECONOMY RUN VICTORY PROVES IT!
New “Fuel-Saver” Choke that helped clinch title
is standard equipment on all Plymouth V-£s
Pound for pound, Plymouth uses less gasoline than either
of the “other two” cars in the low-price “3 ! This was
proved beyond doubt when a 1958 Plymouth V-8 was
officially declared winner of the low-price car competition
in the 1958 Mobilgas Economy Run. Plymouth’s com
petitors also entered cars with 6-cylinder engines (sup
posedly more economical) but Plymouth beat every car
in its class—V-8s and 6s alike!
This title-winning Plymouth is exatetly the same Belve
dere V-8 with TorqueFlite Automatic Transmission that
you can buy right off your Plymouth dealer’s floor.
These tests prove that every Plymouth has built-in
economy features not found in the “other two”. For in
stance—one of the most important factors in Plymouth’s
smashing win is the new “Fuel-Saver’' Choke that you get
at no extra cost on all Plymouth V-8s. This ingenious
device employs a triple-stage vacuum piston and a new
thermostatic element to reduce the amount of fuel you
use in warming up the engine. So it can save you even
more on short-distance drives—the kind most people make.
Among tlie many other savings Plymouth gives you is
the $140 you save on standard-equipment Torsion-Aire
Ride. The “other two” charge up to that much extra for
their best suspension systems.
So if you are dollar-consoious, better hustle over and
talk terms and trade with your Plymouth dealer. He wants
your business, and he’ll go all out to get it!
