Harold Beck, pastor of the
Friends Mission Church, Kotze
bue, flew to Kobuk Lake in the
Church plane, to pick up Maggie
Adams, who was sheefishing, and
return her to her home in Noor
vik. In the take-off from the lake,
after picking Maggie up, the land
ing gear was so badly damaged
one side was useless with the ski
dangling at right angles. Fortu
nately Mr. Beck realized what had
happened and flew to Kotzebue,
where sheefish and cans of blub
ber were dropped out of the plane
to lighten the load. With every
one in the village breathlessly
watching he brought his ship
down for such a perfect landing
on one ski that no damage re
sulted to the plane nor the oc
cupants.
Some radio tubes are so small
that workers use microscopes to
assemble them.

Anchorage Banker Buys
Matanuska Valley Bank
JUNEAU, UP) — Gov.' Gruening
said the Alaska banking board
will meet soon, possibly Thurs
day, to consider whether purchase
of the Matanuska Valley bank at
Palmer by an Anchorage banker
meets the board’s demands for in
creasing assets.
Robert A. Baker of the First
National Bank at Anchorage an
nounced Tuesday he had pur
chased outstanding shares of the
Palmer bank for $30,000 cash and
had agreed to underwrite the
bank’s liabilities.
The territorial banking board
had set a Tuesday deadline for
stockholders to add $105,000 to
assets of the Palmer bank after
its former manager, Jack Mize of
Palmer, was charged with em
bezzlement.
Gov. Gruening said he pre
sumed Baker’s action in buying
the Palmer bank “cut across” the
board’s deadline for adding to the
institution’s capital. The governor
added that the board acts only as
a body and that he could not
forecast its action.
