Lydia Fohn-Hansen
To Demonstrate Extension
Service Work At Kotzebue
Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Hansen left
Nome for a week in Kotzebue af
ter presenting several interesting
. and worthwhile demonstrations to
* members of the Mothers Club and
other interested persons.
All her meetings were well-at
tended. There were between 15
and 20 present for each of the
food demonstrations given at the
home of Mrs. Snyder. There were
12 women present at the home of
Mrs. Mclver for a demonstration
’ °n reupholstery Friday afternoon;
over 20 women were present to
hear her talk on the positive val
ues of family life; and about 30
« women attended her demonstra
tion at the Home Arts Club.
Mrs. Fohn-Hansen also told
about other homemakers clubs in
Alaska. Many of the women were
interested in Mothers Club affili
ating with other Homemakers
Clubs which, in turn, are affili
• ated with and supervised by the
University of Alaska Extension
Division.
There would be no fees in
volved. The program would deal
with some of the basics of suc
cessful homemaking. It would be
o open to all interested women in
the community. The hope of all
was that the legislature would
appropriate funds enough so
Nome could have its own home
demonstration worker to work
not only in Nome but in the sur
rounding villages. Such a request
is being made to the legislature.
Emergency Landings In
Anchorage Area Put
Crash Crews On The Spot
ANCHORAGE, (^1 —Three An
chorage policemen had a narrow
brush with death Friday night in
two forced airplane landings at
separate fields here. The action
caught embarrassed fire crash
crews right in the middle.
Patrolman Aubrey Mayo es
caped injury when his small
plane pancaked on the ice at Lake
Hood while attempting to land
with a broken ski.
Lillian Cunningham and Rob
ert Riedel, two colleagues, walk
ed away from their private plane
at the city-owned Merrill Field
10 minutes later despite a land
ing on the ice covered runway |
with a broken axle.
Through a mixup, city fire res
cue crews were halfway between
both airports. Firemen were
standing by at Merrill Field after
having been told of an emergency
landing when the tower notified
them the plane had' crashed at
Lake Hood instead.
No sooner had firemen left
Merrill Field for Lake Hood
when Cunningham guided his
crippled ship in without incident.
Mayo’s plane was extensively
damaged, however.
Cunningham had taken Mayo
to Big Lake, 25 miles northeast
of here, earlier in the day so that
Mayo could retrieve his plane.
The officer had left the plane
there several days ago when the
ski was damaged on landing.

Galena’s Strategic importance
Is Known To The Russians
Editor's note: If the cold war
with international Communism
turns hot, America's most ad
vanced base would be a cluster of
runways and quonset huts, hud
dled on the frozen, lonesome
reaches of the Yukon River. This
describes the lives of men sta
tioned at this base and the pilots
who keep watch across the nar
row border between Alaska and
Siberia.
By ELTON C. FAY
(AP Military Reporter)
GALENA, Alaska, Feb. .23, (#)—
This U.S. airfield must have high
priority on the potential war tar
get list of the Russian air and
army forces.
Only 350 miles away—a half
hour by jet fighter, only two
hours by troop carrier—lies the
tip of Soviet Siberia.
The Soviets know the precise
position of the Galena airfield.
They should. Russian pilots flew
in and out of here throughout I
much of World War II, ferrying ]
American-made aircraft to Russia ,
in the days when the two nations j
were allies.
Lawyers In House
Get Legs Pulled
JUNEAU, (£*)—Twelve non-law
vear members of the House of
Representatives may not know a
writ of certiorari from a subpoena
duces tecum, but they know how
to pull a barrister’s leg.
The House is evenly split be
tween 12 attorneys and 12 lay
men, many of whom never saw
the inside of a law book until
they got elected to the Legisla
ture.
But they gave the lawyers a
fright for a while Friday—just
a day after they had playfully
introduced a mock bill to put a
taboo on barristers in the Legis
lature.
When the rollcall came on the
attorney’s pet bill—to establish an
Alaska Bar Assn., to rule over
the legal cult — the other mem
bers of the House ganged up on
them and started voting “no”
right down the line. The figured
they would make it a 12-12 dead
lock and then all change their
votes before the lawyers could
should “We wuz robbed.”
As the rollcall proceded, at
torneys all over the House began
to sit bolt upright with alarm and
bewilderment. Rep. Peter Kala
marides, an Anchorage attorney,
dropped the bill he was perusing
and flushed a fire alarm red until
it was hard to tell where his red
shii't ended and his red face
began.
Then a non-lawyer got mixed up
on his signals and the bill squeak
ed by. The jesting lawmakers
started over again and made it
a clean 24-0.
“I think we should at least
point out,” quipped layman Rich
ard Greuel of Fairbanks, “that
this is a demonstration that law
yers don't conti'ol the House.”
VIGO, Spain, UP) — A speeding
bus hit a tree Saturday and 29
of the 40 persons aboard perished
in flames. Relatives of the dead
tried to lynch the driver, but the
police saved him.
“I will never vote for anybody
who ever at any time drinks any
quantity whatsoever of an alco
holic beverage,” says a member
of the W.C.T.U. Lady, you have
come within half an inch of dis
franchising yourself.

No Destruction
Virtually no one "expects the
! Russians to seek destruction of
1 such airfields as Galena. They
would be too valuable as spring
boards for attack on the continen
tal United States. To seize them
by airborne attack would be
tempting for Russian strategists.
To hold or retake them, the Uni
ted States would have to fly in
troops from the south.
How fast or, indeed, whether,
such an operation could be con
ducted would depend, as most
matters do in the arctic and sub
arctic, on the weather. Fog and
wind and icing conditions over
the mountain ranges to the south
would determine whether present
troop-carrying planes could get
through and whether paratroop
ers could jump with an expec
tancy of being ready to fight
when they landed.
No Homey Quarters
Galena has no miles of paved
roads, homey quarters, officers’
clubs or trim new buildings.
It stands, tattered and weather
beaten by a decade and a half of
arctic storms on the lonesome
reaches of the lower Yukon. Icy
winds pick through loosely fitting
doors of quonset huts. Bare elec
tric bulbs light the huts dimly.
Close to the oil stoves it is hot—
five feet away water freezes.
Air Force and Army personnel
use sleeping bags at night to keep
off the chill. Entertainment is
confined to occasional movies in
a crowded, small mess hall.
The nearest city is Fairbanks,
250 miles to the east.
Cluster of Buildings
The village of Galena is a clus
ter of buildings, occupied by In
dians of the Athabascan tribe,
who make their living from trap
lines and fishing; a white school
teacher and his family; and a
storekeeper.
The weather-grayed, tiny hous
es, a little church and a school
huddle at the curving bank of the
Yukon, in a frozen domain of tun
dra and iron hard ridges.
Civil defense planners, oriented
to the problems of big cities, urge
Galena’s townfolk to make prep
arations for evacuation in event
of attack.
This seems unrealistic to many
of the people. Where, in this
empty land, would they go if they
flgd from their homes; and with
Russian air bases 30 minutes
away, how soon could they ex
pect warning of approaching
planes?
They live literally next door to
a top target for attack, but they
worry little.
Their faith must be tacked to
hope for continued peace; and the
American jets that keep constant
watch over the frozen wastes.
