(Special Gateway Feature)
(By Babe Hayes)
J. E. Donaldson of Los Angeles,
i the well known head of the Path
| finder Tours, who has been thru j
Alaska with several parties of tovr- j
lists, in writing to some Alaska
i friends regarding the writer, says:
j “What Alaska needs now is the
establishment of personal contacts
i between folks on the inside and
folks on the outside. This cannot
be done by leaflets, no matter how
interesting, but only by the ex
hibition of a genuine human inter
est on the part of residents here
for those who are lured here for
a few days of a few weeks in the
summer time.
j “I have now completed my fifth
annual visit to Alaska with a party
of tourists. We have gone over
| the same Golden Belt itinerary
each year. In those five trips I
have met one man and one man
only, who went out of his way to
greet me and make my visit and
that of members of my party more
than a mere “humdrum” routine of
doing the country. This man was
and is F. J. “Babe” Hayes, of Cor
dova.
“This man represents Alaska to
hundreds of the most substantial j
Americans who have come here, j
He has a larger number of con- !
tacts with folks who are worth j
while in the United States than
has any private citizen in Alaska.
He has rendered more definite per
sonal service to tourists in Alaska j,
than have all the members of all
the 'Chambers of Commerce com
bined. If this is doubtful in your j
mind, consult any tour conductor, I
01 any tourist agency, or any!
individual tourists and find out. j
It seems to me that this man’s j
personal contacts with worth while j
people in all parts of the United j
States, and his unique gift in mak- !
ing, extending and remembering j
Dthei contacts should somehow or !
other be put to work for his be- !
loved Alaska.
“It will be a pleasure to furnish
scores of names from our party
membership lists to substantiate!
uid supplement all I have said
f you wish to have such informa
tion.”

KETCHIKMI BETS FISH
HATCHERY PLANT
FROM TERHITORY
Recently the Territory owned
two fish hatchery plants. Now it
has but one, and is merely await
ing an application to give the
other one away, says the Juneau
Empire.
One of the fish hatcheries was
turned over to Ketchikan and the
other will be turned over to Cordo
va anytime that city wants to be
come the possessor of a similar
plant.
A deed transferring title from
the Territory to the city of Ketchi
kan to the plant formerly operated
there by the Territorial Govern
ment was signed by Gov. George
Parks. The gift was made without
reservation, possibly with relief,
under authority of a law enacted
by the recent Legislature. It also
authorized the transfer of the
plant at Cordova to that commun -
ity.
Neither of the hatcheries have
been operated for several seasons
An effort to obtain an appiopria
tion to resume operations at Ket
chikan was made during the last
Legislature but was unsuccessiul. !

municipal airport
Weeks Field, the Fairbanks avia
tion field, although long known as
the Fairbanks Municipal Airport,
became so legally recently when
the City Council passed an ordi
nance giving it that status, says
the News-Miner. The city is now
legally empowered to lease tracts
°n the aviation field to airplane
i ^omPanies and to charge rentals
for same.
Miss Margaret Carson, formerlj
of Tampa, Fla., who has been a
nurse at the Ketchikan General
Hospital, and Glenn Lane, of Moira
Sound,, were married in Ketchikan
recently, says the Chronicle.
