Emily Boucher of the Nome
Nugget and Dewey Goodrich, rep
resenting the Northwestern Alas
ka Chamber of Commerce, de
parted yesterday to represent
Nome on the special inaugural
flight of Pan American Airways’

to Fairbanks.
They expect to leave Fairbanks
for Seatle tomorrow, leave Seattle
on die inaugural flight of the
“Super Six” Saturday midnight,

a.m. Monday.
The new DC-6 planes will not

their runs at Fairbanks, the regu
lar DC-4 planes to be continued on
the Nome schedule. This is due, it
is reported, to the condition of
the runways at Nome Field, which
PAA considers unfit to risk the
newer, heavier planes.

Nel Swanberg Sr.
Celebrates 84th Birthday
Yesterday was the* 84th birth
day of Nels Swanberg Sr., one of
Alaska’s oldest living pioneers.
Nels came to Alaska in April,
1896 and in June, 1900, arrived in
the Nome mining camp after
travelling down the Yukon on a
raft. No one now living on Seward
Peninsula, he claims, came to Al
aska sooner, and perhaps no one
now living in Alaska came earlier
to Nome.’
His family celebrated his birth
day with him at his home.
Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Jackson and
daughter Cathy were passengers
yesterday on PAA bound for Seat
tle. Mr. Jackson is expected to
