Lost Over N.E. Canada
MONT JOLI, Quebec, Har
old E. “Whitey” Dahl, headlining
flier of fortune since the Spanish
-civil war, is believed missing with
0 three other persons on a flight
over northeast Canada’s frozen
wastes and icy waters,
Northland pilots at the Distant
Early Warning iDEW> radar line
base here said Dahl was piloting
the American-owned DC3 trans
port which disappeared early
Tuesday on a 3Vs-hour, 400-mile
flight from Frobisher Bay, Baffin
Island, to Fort Chimo, Quebec.
There was no official confirm
ation that the missing pilot was
Dahl nor was there any identific
ation available ot the three pas
sengers reported aboard the
plane.
However, the 47-year-old ad
venturer lias been reported flying
supplies for the DEW line now
under construction across the
Canadian north, and traffic con
trol officers at Montreal’s Dorval
airport said a message from Fro
bisher Bay identified the pilot of
the plane as "Dahl.”

panied by her picture. But Dahl
was not freed from Spain until
1940.

Bacon, Butter and Eggs
The following is an excerpt from an editorial in
the Anchorage Daily Times and was written by Times
publisher Bob Atwood, who is making a trip through
Europe and is currently in Denmark:
* * *
COPENHAGEN, Denmark—This is the fascinating
capital of the tiny Kingdom of Denmark at the other
end of a quick sky ride through the polar regions from
Los Angeles.
From the fifteenth floor of the new Hotel Europa one has a
sweeping view of the city of 1,100,000 s>*uls, the ice-clogged waterways
busy with ships, the endless rows of apartment houses, innumerable
church spires and, in the far distance, the shores of Sweden marked
by somkestacks and warehouses.
Denmark is a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale brought to life.
AN INVESTIGATION by Congress would doubtlessly reveal that
Denmark is not ready for independence, despite the fact that it has
been so for 1,000 years.
This kingdom has only 17,100 square miles. The United States is
213 times as big. It is comprised mostly of the peninsula of Jutland
with 500 islands which, as the Danes say, are held apart by bridges.
There is no mineral wealth. The Danes have no coal or oil. They
have little timber. There is no wildlife to speak of. The scenery is
nothing compared to that of Alaska. There are no mountains, water
falls, valleys and other natural beauties like Alaska.
They do have farming, some fishing and they have built their
kingdom on them. In reality, they have based their economic and
social life on bacon, butter and eggs. And what a mravelous country
they have made on an economy that many woidd consider unstable,
narrow and inadequate.
The Danes have three million pigs and prior to the war they
supplied 44 percent of all the bacon in international world trade.
They supplied 26 percent of all the world’s butter exports, and 24
percent of the world’s eggs. All those percentages are believed to
have increased since the war because to al world exports have
decreased while Denmark’s have not.
The Danes have built a big merchant marine to move their own
goods. It also serves as their main transportation system because of
the extensive waterways. Every large city is accessible by water.
Inter-island steamships are everywhere.
From this basic economy—fraught with all the frailties of man
made barriers to export trade—the Danes have made one of the
highest types of civilization.
DENMARK IS AN EXAMPLE of what good men can do when
they take a notion to do it. They have never been subdued by an
invader, although many have tried.
In the fade of the shortcomings of their land and climate (Danes
say Denmark never was intended to be inhabited in winter) they
have made their way of life notable.
They took advantage of their agricultural potentials (75 percent
of their land is arable), their cheap transportation by water and their
strategic location close to the great markets of Europe. In short, they
did the best the^ could with what little they had.
Out of it all they have made their people, a happy, carefree
segment of the world. They are friendly, gay and informal. Realizing
that they must tell the world about themselves, they have mastered
foreign languages and speak them freely to visitors. The world is
their oyster and they have gone far in overcoming the barrriers
that make friendship and neighborliness difficult.
An Alaskan can’t help but think of the great civilization his own
land could support if it were allowed to do so. There is much
more in Alaska to do with. Alaskans have the same ingenuity and
spirit as the Danes. They have the will but they have never found
the way under the heavy hand of distant rule, ill-eonceived and
restrictive laws and the colonial status that goes with territorialism.
