ALASKA CELEBRATES
FIVE YEARS OF AIR
SERVICE TO STATES
Five years ago this month, the
famous “Alaska Clipper,” Pan
American flying boat, made its
inaugural commercial flight from
Seattle to Juneau via Ketchikan,
establishing the first scheduled
air service between Alaska and
the United States.
The historic flight, marking a
vital stepping stone in the ad
vancement of aviation in the Ter
ritory, brought to reality a long
time dream of Alaskans—the link
ing by air of the Terrtiory’s 58,
♦00 square miles with the 48
states. *
Piloted by skilled Alaskan flyer
Captain S. E. Robbins, the big
Sikorsky S-42 carried 26 Pan
American officials and guests and
30,000 letters on its initial flight.
The 850 mile trip to Juneau, re- i
quiring 3 days by boat, was made
in 7 hours in the “Alaska Clipper.”
Yesterday, service was resumed
to Ketchikan, linking that city by
Clipper to Seattle and the Terri
ory. Anticipating increased traffic
to Alaska, Pan American this
week stepped up its flight sched
ules to 16 round trips weekly be
tween Seattle, Ketchikan and
Juneau—twice daily, with two ex-'
tra flights per week. Nine flights

foxholes, MacArthur reached the
s p u r 1 ike crescent overlooking
Mount Malang, the first important
objective of his Australian forces
on the right flank.
As he stood conferring with Aus
tralian brigadier eight shots rang
out singing like a beehive. Staff
members automatically ducked
but MacArthur and the Brigadier
continued to pore over the large
scale grid map completely unper
turbed, saying “he’s been there
a bit of a time you know. We’ll
root him out later today.”
Lt. Howard Isberg and
Miss Pauline Wilson Wed
Saturday evening Lt. Howard
John Isberg, son of Mr. and Mrs.
John O. Isberg, of Norway, Mich.,
was united in marriage with Miss
Pauline E. Wilson, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Wilson of
Portland, Ore., at the Air Base
chapel by Chaplin Courteney.
The bride wore a navy blue suit
and a beautiful corsage of white
gardenias and was attended by
Mrs. James Nickelson. The groom
was attended by James Nickelson.
Lt. Isberg is the officer in
charge of the U. S. Coast Guard
station here and Mrs. Isberg ar
rived via P.A.A. last Friday eve
ning from the States. They will
make their home in the Hite
apartments on First Avenue.
The amount of table waste
seems to be increasing steadily,
says Encyclopaedia Britannica.
This information is based on fig
ures compiled by garbage disposal
i
authorities in seventeen represen
tative cities. In communities
where garbage collection is good
the average daily amount of gar
bage is one-half to one pound per
person.
