Anchorage Pilot Makes
“Routine” Landing On
Outside Country Road
BELLINGHAM, Wash., (A>>—An
Anchorage pilot who made a per
fect emergency landing on a nar
row country road passed it off
today as routine, but it was a
bit disconcerting for an Alaskan
used to open spaces.
Joe D. Blackard, 36, put his
Cessna 180 down undamaged on
a surfaced road near Ferndale,
Wash., last night because the
plane radio failed and darkness
was approaching.
With him was Charles O. Chap
man, 37, Blackard’s associate in
a general contracting business at
Anchorage.
After landing, Blackard taxied
the plane into a field.
“This isn’t too unusual up in
Alaska,” Blackard commented,
“but here you’ve got power lines
and people.”
There was only one automobile
on the road, the pilot explained,
and the driver was cooperative.
He sped on ahead so Blackard
could land and then came back
to offer help.

Over 400 Attend Nome
School Open House
The Nome School Open House,
held on Wednesday evening as the
local highlight of American Edu
cation Week, brought out over 400
people—a crowd which, in spite
of rather inclement weather, ri
valled the excellent attendance
accorded the first open house held
last year.
All classrooms were on display,
and students were present in
many rooms in order that parents
might observe actual lesson pre
sentations. Of the many attrac
tions, the high school science dis
plays and the new athletic equip
ment in the gymnasium seemed
to draw the most attention.
As the evening progressed, the
multi-purpose room served as a
social center, and Miss Lichten
berg’s home economics group
served coffee there.
The assistance of the Student
Council members, as well as the
cooperation of other participants
in the evening’s activities, cer
tainly contributed much to the
success of the Open House, and it
was gratifying that so many took
advantage of his opportunity to
visit the local educational facility.

BEN YOUNG
WITH WINTER ON ITS WAY what are you doing to help keep
your home safe from fire? Nome and many other Alaskan cities
had low fire losses last winter and if you take precautions
before cold weather sets in, we can have another safe winter.
1. Have you cleaned your burners,
stacks and stoves?
2. Are there any oil drips from your
lines or carburetors?
3. Have you checked your oil lank for
water to prevent frozen lines?
4. What condition is your wiring in?
Bare wires? Poor connections?
5. Are sheds and storage areas free of
rubbish and flammable materials?
6. Is the carburetor adjusted so that
your fire pot or burner cannot be
come flooded?
7. What condition is your stack in?
Check them for cracks, burned out
spots.
8. Do your children play with
matches or the carburetors on your
stoves?
MOST OF OUR FIRES AND INJURIES
result from failure to observe these precautions.
IF YOU WORRY ABOUT FIRE, let us help you. ADEQUATE
FIRE INSURANCE can help relieve your worries and the cost
is amazingly low. Should you be a renter and do not own
your own home, we can insure your personal property.
A CALL OR VISIT to the Insurance Department of
THE MINERS & MERCHANTS BANK
is all it takes to become adequately insured — or call
Don Perkins, after hours or weekends, to help set up
your insurance program with a home call.
