AIRPLANE FATALITIES
In the early days of flying, if our memory serves (
us correctly, most persons involved in airplane acci
dents were killed outright. At least, a very large percen
tage were.
It was surprising, therefore, to read a recent gov
ernment report which states that dunng the last three |
years only one out of seven persons involved in airplane
crashes were fatally hurt.
More surprising still is the statement that of all
those involved in air accidents 60 per cent received no
injuries at all. About 15 per cent were killed, 10 per cent
were seiiously injured and 15 per cent were only slight
ly hurt.
We hear, it seems, almost every day reports of air
plane crashes in the States and in Europe; in Alaska,
practically none at all regardless of the thousands of
flights being made. Hearing these reports may lead one
to make snap judgement that airplanes are still unsafe,
but as a matter of fact, statistics reveal it is the safest
mode of public travel.
Causes of accidents have been studied, resulting in
the conclusion that about 57 per cent were due to errors
made by pilots, structural failures in planes caused a lit
tle more than 9 per cent, motor failures 17 per cent,
while miscellaneous and doubtful accidents causes ac
count for the remainder.
Alaskan pilots take no chances at any time, in any
shape or form; they are men with years of practical
flying experience behind them; their knowledge of the
geological features of the Territory over which they
dart, is second to none. If you are thinking of making a
trip to some distant place in Alaska, try the airplane;
try the airplane once and it’s a safe bet you will be as
air-minded thereafter as the most enthused. If you have
never flown, what a delighful surprise awaits.
The idea of creating additional reserves in Alaska
for the one object of protecting wild animal life, is not
practical, from our viewpoint. If more protection is es
sential the solution is simple, create new game wardens.
There are very few game violations, as far as this is
concerned, nor is there any great slaughter of Alaska’s
wild life going on excepting that done by the wolves
and coyotes.
The greatest, most consistent and severe criticism
toward a newspaper is generally directed by a non-ad
vertiser and non-subscriber; and their opinion, to The
Gateway, eminates from brains about the size contained
in the head of a tack.
Every once in a while a man wants this newspaper
to publish something that he has has written, which he
thinks is awfully funny, but it's about somebody else
who might not think it hilarious.
Advertising is really a sweet pill for merchants to
take this year when they feel so full of business aches
and pains. And the best testimonial for skeptics to
read is that from men and firms who consistently have
been space users in newspapers and have increased pro
fits to show for their efforts.
We are always glad to have new& letters sent in
from the various communities in Alaska but the writer
must sign his name. No anonymous news letters are
published, regardless of what they are about. If you
lack the “guts” to sign your article, don’t write it.

148th renewal of the racing classic.
“Orpen” was second, “Sandwich”
third, and “Goyescas” fourth.
Two American horses, “Jacopo”
and “Sir Edward” did not place.
Seven hundred and 50,000, in
cluding the King and family, saw
the race. “Cameronian” won by j
three-quarters of a length.
