King Island Couple
Flown To Miami Beach
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Tiulana left
via Alaska Airlines for an ex
tended tour of the States, and
will be the guests of several mag
azines and airlines all the way to
Miami Beach, Fla.
The King Island couple was
chosen for the trip when it was
found that a Diomede couple was
not available. A fabulous ward
robe for Mrs. Tiulana was among
the gifts presented to them.
Tiulana has been store man
ager for King Island, and also
was at Portland, in the Alaska
booth last year.
' The trip, which is a publicity
project, is believed to have been
suggested by John Bremer, writer,
and sponsored by Morris Lans
burgh, owner of the Deauville
Hotel in Miami.
After a week at Miami, the Es
kimo couple will be taken to New
York before returning home.
