Wm. Ahsaruk In School
In Bed Weisse, Germany
STRAUBING, Germany, Dec. 5
1946—-Private First Class William
L. Ahsaruk, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Philipp Ahsaruk of West D St.,
was recently sent to Bad Weisse,
Germany, to pursue a fourteen day
course in skiing and first aid. Bad
Weisse is a popular recreation cen
ter for American troops here in
Germany.
Pfc. Ahsaruk has been serving
83rd Fighter Squadron of the 78th

Pan American Wants
Seattle As Terminal
In Oriental Route
Pan American World Airways
today announced that it had filed
application with the Civil Aero
nautics Board to add Seattle as a
co-terminal point to its present
Pacific terminals of Los Angeles
and San Francisco. If the Board
decides that a direct air link be
tween the Pacific Northwest and
the Hawaiian Islands is required
in the public interest.
The action follows the Civil
Aeronautic Board’s notice that
hearings be held to determine
“whether a public need exists for
the establishment of such a route.”
In filing the application, the c im
pany'took no position on the ques
tion of whether a route from Seat
tle to Honolulu is needed in the
of the organizations tnat is help
ing to police the American zone
of Germany from the air.
Pfc. Ahsaruk attended Nom.e
High School prior to his enlist
ment in the army. He is a veteran
of thirty-two months overseas in
the European Theater.
public interest.
“All information available to
Pan American,” the applicated
stated, “indicates that, in the light
of the potential air traffic avail
able to a carrier operating a direct
air service between the Pacific
Northwest and Hawaii, the service
would have to be initiated on a
very modest frequency.”
In such case, the application
continued, the Civil Aeronautics
Board might determine that it
would be in the public interest to
certificate Pan American to oper
ate the route since the company is
already established in both Hono
lulu and Seattle. Certification of a
carrier that would have to set up
bases at both ends of the route, it
was stated, might not be in the
public interest.
“Pan American is willing to op
erate a direct air transportation
service between the Pacific North
west and the Hawaiian Islands, if
the Board should determine tha'
such a service would be in tht
public interest,” the application
concluded.
Then there was the draftee who
claimed exemption on account ot
poor eyesight and brought his wifi'
along as evidence.
