FINE ADDRESS AT
CHAMBER MEETING
ALASKA FLYING ACE IS GUEST
AT SEWARD CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE MEET
Real sincerity was manifest yester
day, at the Chamber of Commerce
'
luncheon and business meeting, when
Russell H. Merrill, chief pilot for the
Anchorage Air Transport, rose up
when asked to direct a few words to,
the assembly and said “I am glad to
be back in Seward.”
As one of the members remarked j1
later Merrill may be residing and fol- ’
lowing his vocation in other parts of
the Territory but Seward people will 1
always feel he is a Sewardite.
Regarding the local field he said it
would be impossible, under present
conditions to take off with more than 1
around a 500 pound load owing to the 1
short runway. However, he fdded,
if a sw’ath were cut through the trees,
directly north of the field, for about
a distance of 750 feet, this would
give ample clearance for taking off
with a full load. The Anchorage field
is about the same size as this one, he
judged, but there are no trees border
ing which permits ample clearance af
ter leaving the ground.
The Seward field has a number of
advantages over the Anchorage field
but he said this is also true with re
gards to the Anchorage field over the
Seward field. One of the advantages

lere, especially during the winter
nonths, is that days could sometimes!
ae saved in getting to the Interior at
imes when slides on the road haltj
raffic on the railroad. With the aid!
)f pontoons planes could be operated
o any point on the coast, West or|
south, from Seward. Rut the main
‘ravel, Merrill said, would be during j
he winter months and that to the In-;
I
erior. Snow conditions make it pos
sible for a plane to alight at almost
my time in the Interior with the excepj
ion of making the trip from this dis
rict when Mount Spur must be cross
id; this takes but six minutes.
Seward cannot hope to gain any of
die Interior plane travel business un
less the local field is lengthened by
the method suggested, Merrill made
clear, and repeated this is due entire,
ly to the trees. As north winds gen
erally prevail here, it becomes
necessary for planes to fake-off into
it. The southern portion of the field j
extending as it.does to the beach-line,
is ideal for taking off when the wind
is coming from the South. Pilot Mer-,
rill feels confident the Territory will]
assist many fields this year. He said
citizens at Homer are willing to build
! their own field, according to letters

| “It is awfully good to get back to
Seward,” Merrill added again in clos
ing his interesting talk, “for it seems
this is my universe. Seward was the
first real Alaska town I arrived at
when I first flew up from the States.
I particularly appreciate the fact
that last year the Seward Chamber
of Commerce presented me with a
complimentary membership.”
Mr. Merrill took his seat to the tune
of prolonged applause. President Ur

Merrill and then appointed an Air

STRONG STORY SHOWING
IT LIBERTY THEITRE
Irene Rich and Conway Tearle
scored a hit last night at the Liberty
theatre in the drama of Russian life
before the war.
Although rightly rated as too strong
for youthful minds, at the same time
it is not in in any way objectionable
and is an absorbing tale of passion
and love.
The play is unusual in that there
is not a fight or angry dispute in the
whole eight reels, although, it deals
with a group of drunken officers
wronging a girl, the best material for
fights and duels. And the only war
j scenes are a few flashes of light on a
! black ground. No soldiers, no trenches
no “No man's land”.
This first American production of
Paul Stein, the imported European
director, proves him a master of the
art and with ideas of his own. i
