FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Is there any specific reason why Sewar$ should not I
have weather reports and forecasts? Although we have1
our own local conditions and general reports of atmos
pheric high and low pressure areas they might not tell us j
as much of what to expect as they do Interior points like I
Fairbanks. It seems that there is no sound reason why
we should not have a record and a study made thereof for
use in the future. Especially in connection with aviation.
The coming of the airplane jnarks a new area of ad
vancement and Seward as well as other Alaskan communi
ties should do everything possible to remove obstacles that
stand in the way of this important industry. The uncer
tainty of weather as well as unfavorable weather is one
of the greatest handicaps under which planes and their
pilots labor.
The Alaska Road Commission made it possible for
Seward to have an aviation field on the radio reserve at i
the head of the bay and now it is the duty of the Chamber
of Commerce to take this matter up with the proper au
thorities so that we may be given this important service.
One Associated Press dispatch in stating the difficul
ties to be experienced and overcome in the round the world
flight by two daring German aviators, said* that the hop
to Seward was the most dangerous of several risky hops.
It remains for the science of aviation to further overcome
many of natures whims obstructing world navigation of
the air, but it is possible for the layman to furnish much
assistance to flyers of the present day. We believe that
Seward as the terminal of the steamship lines is the logi
cal place for an airplane base but many obstacles must
first be overcome and we are convinced a weather station
would be one step in that direction.
SAYS HAD NO PREVIOUS WARN
ING OR INSTRUCTIONS REGARD
ING RETIRING CORNER
NEW YORK, Sept. 28. (£>)— Jack
Dempsey came out with a flat denial
to Tunney’s claim regarding final in
structions from referee Barry in the
Chicago championship bout. He said,
“I received no warning or instructions
about retreating to a neutral corner
in the event of a knockout and I fe£l
that I lost the decision through the
fault of the referee who was not favor
able to me. I knocked Tunney out
and can do it again. I want another
match with him and I’m going to do
the best I can to get it.”»
Dempsey told newspapermen re
peatedly he would make no protest of
any kind but that his manager Flynn
would have a statement ready soon
which would throw a new angle on
the last minute developments before
the fighters climbed into the ring.
