Postal Officials
Say Paper Sack
Trial Successful
, SEATTLE, —Seattle postal
| officials say a 2Vfe-year experi
ment in using _paper mail sacks
in shipping mail to Alaska has
resulted in substantial savings.
The 15-ounce bags, used only
in the Seattle and Alaska stations,
are 2Vi pounds lighter than the
old canvas bags. Savings up to
50 cents a bag are realized in air
shipments to Alaska points.
Sigvard S. Hall, superintendent
of foreign and Alaska mail, said
the experiment has “more than
compensated” for the extra work,
slower handling and early prob
lems of breakage and tearing.
Originally designed as “throw
aways,” about three-fourths are
re-usable a second time.
Altho two-thirds to three
fourths of Alaska mail shipped
by water terminates at large cit
ies, all inland service is by air.
Some 125 destinations are served
out of Anchorage alone.

Soviets Say Children
In America Are
Treated Dreadfully
M O S C O W, (.T)—The Soviet
press, declaring “Children’s Day,”
said today children live happy,
carefree lives in the Soviet Union
—and are treated dreadfully in
the United States.
Pravda said 15,000 children1
were sold on the American black
market every year and untold
thousands were starving to death.
It said that in the United States
5-vear-olds were breaking their
backs working on plantations, 10
year-olds suffocating in coal
mines, and children of all ages
living on scraps picked out of
garbage cans.
“Our own Soviet state,” said
the Communist Party organ,
“comforts our children with great
warmth and care that do not ex
ist in any capitalist country.”

Wien’s Summer Schedule Provides
| 5-Hour Visit for Nome Tourists
To Tie In With Bus and Rail Trips
Wien Airlines has announced
the starting of their summer
schedule which provides for a
five-hour lay-over for summer
tourists this season.
The summer tours will arrive
before lunch and leave late in the
afternoon, giving ample time for
a tour of the area as well as some
time for the travelers to spend
in town doing the things they
want individually.
Tours are being handled by the
Polaris this summer who will op
erate their own bus as well as
railroad Curly Q trip.
Tommy Martin is at present
digging out the railroad as it has
considerable glacier on it this
year. Although a handicap to the
railroad operators, it will be a
special thrill to the early tourists
to have some snow in Nome.
One of the tour directors will
be Mike Vivieros who, with his
“prospector” whiskers, will be
STATUE DRAPED IN BLACK
OTTOWA, !M—Parliament Hill
awoke Saturday to find the sta
tue of Liberal Leader Sir Wilfrid
Laurier draped in black.
Police blamed a practical joker
—or perhaps a wishful-thinking
Tory looking ahead to the June 10 j
elections. The somber mantle was 1
removed.
very colorful.
The main handicap to the tour
ist program, stated Martin, is that
there is so much more to do and
see in Nome than can toe done
in five hours that the tourist
leaves feeling he hasn’t seen all
that he came to Alaska to enjoy.
“What is needed is an over
night tour,” stated Mr. Martin,
“as this is the climax of the
trip for most of these people who
will see Alaska only once.”
A special side feature this year
will be the Polaris zoo. Bartoy, the
little reindeer fawn with its pal
the dog, have a new companion,
Rodney the seal.
This baby seal was found on
the beach near Cape Rodney and
has been bottle-fed for the past
week. He is now eating fish and
apparently enjoying it.
