"I save at least 12 ways
when I ship by
Clipper* Cargo!”
You can’t compare sea and air ship
ping costs by weight rates alone!
You must also count these special
economies of Clipper Cargo:
• Crating is seldom necessary.
• Shipping weights are less, because
you use lighter packing.
• So deterioration.
• Lower insurance costs: goods are in
transit so briefly.
• Inventory and warehouse costs can
be drastically reduced.
• Shipping rates go down as weights
go up.
• Working capital works harder ...
because payment is quicker.
• Documentation time and costs are
reduced. One Air Waybill covers
shipment from origin to destination.
• Goods arrive when needed ... while
the market is strongest.
• Damage and pilferage losses are
greatly reduced.
• C.O.D. and collect services available
to many countries.
• Fewer handling fees.
Clipper schedules are fast, frequent
in Alaska and to the States. For
rates and schedules call your Clipper
Cargo Agent or Pan American.

B.C. Hydro Plant
Would Produce
4,500,000 H.P.
TORONTO, (#1—Plans for big
hydro-electric and industrial de
velopment in northern British
Columbia and the adjacent Yukon
Territory were outlined here on
June 3.
(There was no mention of any
Alaska role in the proposed devel
opment, although firms involved
have been mentioned prominently
in connection with po'ssible devel
opment of Alaska resources.)
The plan unfolded at the annual
meeting of Ventures Limited, a
holding and developement com
pany. It calls for bringing ores,
possibly from all parts of the
world, for refining through use of
cheap hydro-electric power.
Company spokesmen said plans
call for completion of the first
stage of a multi-million-dollar
power development in 1955. Even
tually 4,500,000 horsepower would
be produced to feed electric fur
naces of the smelting plant.
Thayer Lindsley, president, said
the site combines water storage,
at an elevation of more than 2,000
feet, close to tidewater that is
free of ice throughout the year.
“It is expected that electric
power will be produced as cheap
ly as at any other project in
North America,” he said.
15-Year-Old Strike at Irish
Saloon Still Going Strong
DUN LAOGHAIRE, Ireland, 1#
— The famous strike at Jim
Downey’s saloon—now in its 15th
year—blazed again today after a
false armistice caused- by Down
ey’s death.
Pickets of the bartenders union
were ordered to resume trudging
their old beat forthwith, for it
seems that Mrs. Downey is just
as stubborn at Jim himself. She
won’t give up those non - union
barmaids.
The marathon strike began in
March, 1939, when Jim fired a
bartender.
The union demanded the man’s
reinstatement and Jim said no.
The union pulled out the other
bartenders and Jim hired bar
maids. The union sent pickets.
Downey wouldn’t give an inch.
Neither would the union.
Day after Day, month after
month, year after year, the pick
ets plodded the old familiar side
walk—until last Saturday, when
Downey died at the age of 79.
The union, assuming that Mrs.
Downey would listen to reason,
called off the pickets and made
ready to negotiate.
Bx:t Jim’s widow announced
Thursday she has decided to stand
fast.

Progress Reported
In Atom Power
For Civilian Use
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., UP) —
The United States Thursday an
nounced the successful “breeding”
of atomic fuel—that is, the pro
duction of at least as much, or
-more, new fissionable material as
is burned up in the process of
making it.
The development is one of the
most revolutionary in the entire
atomic program. It was disclosed
by Chairman Gordon Dean of the
Atomic Energy Commission in a
speech before the Edison Electric
Institute.
Dean cautioned his audience of
3,000 electric and power men not
to assume that economic power
from atomic energy is here. But
he called the achievement a mile
stone of progress and said it
“holds out the promise of making
a civilian atomic power industry
even more feasible and attractive
in the long range than it has hith
erto appeared to be.”
Tosch Plans Excursions |
To Bering Sea Islands
(Continued Irom Page One)
take excursion parties to see this
isolated homeland of Nome’s skill
ful ivory carvers. On top of the
island, in the natural rock for
mation was a huge billiken, and
clinging to' the sides of the rock,
the homes of the villagers, the
Catholic Church and the ANS
school.
The plane then headed north
to the Bering Straits, separating
America from Asia, and followed
the great ice pack which was
moving northward through this
narrow 54-mile-wide« waterway.
Every Nomeite should see for
himself, once in his lifetime, Cape
Prince of Wales, the most west
erly point on North America, then
circle Little Diomede Island and
its friendly little village with the
American flag waving and chil
dren and women waving a friend
ly greeting with colorful head
scarves.
It faces Big Diomede, outpost
of Russia and for centuries friend
ly but now forboding with no sign
of life showing. As the plane cir
cled the American island, the fog
lifted to the east and there lay
the Siberian coast from East Cape
to Anadyr, once a friendly trading '
center but now forbidden terri-1
tory, silent behind the Iron Cur
tain.
The plane crossed the Interna
tional Dateline and took a quick
peek into tomorrow and circled
back to the land of the free and
cruised along the Alaskan coast,
seeing such historic places as Tin
City, Lost River, Port Clarence
Bay and landed at Nome Field
just two hours and 25 minutes
after the take-off.
Everyone who has a couple of
hours to spare should take ad
vantage of this trip, was the. con
census of opinion yesterday by
those who made the flight. The
party included James Walsh, rep
resenting Pan American Airways;
Mr. and Mrs. A1 Branson, rep
resenting Wien Airlines; Emily
Boucher, editor of the Nugget;
and George Go'shaw, Nome Visit
ors Association director.
Tosch said that in addition to
this trip he plans to take fishing
parties to Salmon Lake, and also
flights to St. LawTrence Island.
He stated he can be contacted
through the Nome Visitors Asso
ciation or at any of the local air
lines.
