DEWEY DEDICATES
KOTZEBUE AIR FIELD
(Continued From Page One)
Dewey for including northern
Alaska in his itinerary and also
noted that a Democratic Gover
nor and a Republican leader to
gether on this occasion denotes a
fine feeling of cooperation so nec
essary for the development and
progress of the country.
Governor Gruening was intro
duced and he explained that the
airport was built through the co
operation of Federal and Terri
torial agencies and funds, made
possible under the Federal Airport
Act of 1941. He stated that under
this program, more than 70 air
fields have been built, improved
and extended in the Territory.
Governor Dewev was then in
troduced by our governor and he
faced into the rain and wind pic
turesquely dressed in a gay parka
to address the people. He asserted
that his state of 15,000,000 people
frequently had similar weather
and that he was usde to it.
“I am deeply grateful for the
wholehearted and cordial recep
tion accorded our party,” he said.
“It was beautiful to be received
by a detail of the National Guard
standing at attention as we ar
rived . . . Alaska is too large to
cover at one time. I will come
again and bring Mrs. Dewey to
see for herself and get acquainted
with you.”
An innovation of Wien Airlines
gave considerable comfort to the
spectators at the dedication. The
company has had mar^v colorful
water - repellent and windproof
parkas made for the convenience
of their tourists, which not only
protected them from the cold, but
added a colorful note to the pro
gram.
Tony Schwamm, Director of
Aviation in the Territory, stated
this morning that this is the sec
ond airfield to be built north of
the Arctic Circle and it was an
unusual and unique engineering
accomplishment. The field was
built on beach sand, tundra and
backfilled in the lagoon.
Governor Dewey and Governor
Gruening had a taste of travel
the real Alaskan way before the
advent of airplanes, when they
were taken from the airfield to
! Kotzebue proper in Abraham Lin
; coin’s skin boat.
Many of the Nome delegation
i expressed appreciation to Wien
Airlines, who made the trip to
Kotzebue possible, and to the local
bus for transportation to the
field.
Although “Kotzebue weather is
colder than we are used to here”
one of the ladies who made the
| trip said “we are glad of the op
portunity to take part in the mem
orable occasion.”

California Woman Rightly
Predicts Her Own Death
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., {AP)—
For a month after Mrs. Edythe
Hanson returned from a hospital,
she repeatedly predicted:
“I shall die at 11:45 on Aug. 21.”
“She was a woman of great
faith,” said her husband, “and
people with such faith have pre
monitions not given to others.
“At 9 o’clock that night she
went to sleep. I called the doctor.
At 11:45 he pronounced her dead.”

“What happens when
Standard men go into
the armed forces?”
One question on many people’s minds these
days is how military service may affect themselves or
people they know... their jobs, their family security.
People ask us, of course, about what happens to em
ployees of Standard Oil Company of California.
The answer shows what a big company can do.
Standard Oilers come through this trying period
in better financial shape than you might expect:
Let’s take for example Bill,
an average young Standard Oiler.
He makes $368 a month. He has
Company-paid life insurance
worth $4,420, a pension plan paid
partly by himself, other benefits.
Suppose Bill is called into the
armed forces. One problem a man
faces then is lower income. But be
cause Bill qualifies as to depend
ents and length of service, he’ll be
helped by a Standard Plan.
When Bill leaves, he gets an ex
tra month's pay. Then, Standard
sends his family a monthly check
to make up the difference be
tween his GI and. Company pay—
up to one-half his regular salary.
Moreover, Bill’s Company life
insurance remains in force. And
the pension plan, which Bill paid
for in part while he was working,
continues to grow—but now
Standard of California pays it all.
When Bill comes back, his job
is waiting, his benefits are intact.
Standard, having big economic re
sources can act to preserve the
human resources of the nation...
people like Bill and his family.
This is Standard’s MG. L
Policy” for qualified employees
called into the Armed Forces. Wa
believe it helps to strengthen
Company morale, and that of the
whole nation as well.
I'd Like to Know... Many people write to Standard asking *
pertinent questions about the Company. We answer afi letters individually,
but some points seem of general interest. We take this way of discussing
them for everyone. If you have a question, we urge you to write in care of:
