Gen. Dale Gaffney
Dies In Florida
(Continued from Page One)
many important air force assign
ments.
He was admitted to Oliver Gen
eral Hospital last Feb. 0. The hos
pital did not announce the cause
of his death.
Funeral arrangements were in
complete.
General Gaffney’s military ca
reer wa wrapped up in Alaska
both before and after the war.
During the war he held the key
post in the lend-lease airplane
supply line to Russia. It was while
he was stationed at Edmonton,
Alta., after May, 1942, as com
mander of the Alaska Wing, Air
Transport Command. He was pro
moted to Brigadier General at the
time.
He was the overseer of the
movement of thousands of U. S.
built airplanes to Russia via Ed
monton, Whitehorse, Fairbanks,
Nome and Siberia.
After the war, General Gaffney
served briefly in Bermuda and in
Washington, D. C.. then he re
turned to Ladd Field as command
er of the 5001st wing, comprising
the Yukon sector of the Alaskan
air command.
Gaffney was one of four majors,
who flew to Fairbanks in 1939 to
inspect the proposed site of the
air corps cold weather experiment
station, which now is known as
Ladd Air Base. They flew in B-18
bombers, which were described at
that time as the largest airplanes
ever to land in the Territory.
A year later Gaffney was as
1 signed as the first commander of
Ladd. He directed the Air Corps’
earliest Arctic and sub-Arctic ex
periments in conditioning men
and airplanes for Far North activ
ity. Garments designed under his
supervision have remained as
standard issue for Arctic airmen.
They often are called “DVG’s”—
his initials.
Gaffney entered military serv
| ice as an enlisted private in the
First World War.

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
Question of the Week: Do you
think the City of Nome should gc
into the utilities business, begin
ning with power and eventually
taking over water, sewage, ets?
On Roads, Rivers and Harbors:
A. Saario asked if there were any
suggestions on how we can get
more money appropriated for
roads. It was suggested that ev
eryone talk to the people who are
elected before they go to Juneau
on matters like this and keep after
them and see if we can get more
done. Mr. Harper suggested with
the building and construction go
ing on around White Mountain it
would be a good driving wedge to
get additional money for building
on the Council road and get it
connected with the White Moun
tain project. He suggested that
maybe we could get additional
money from the Territory High
way Commission if we could get
miners in that area, people in be
tween that area and Nome, and
people in Nome to push it.
Mr. Beacom announced that
next month, beginning Tuesday,
April 4, Chamber of Commerce
dinners would be at tiie Bering
Sea Club.
On membership Mr. Saario said
that quite a few still owed dues
and Mr. Duffield asked for a list
of unpaid members, which will be
typed up and given to him and a
board will be appointed to work
on getting the dues in.
Mr. O'Leary read a letter from
the Canadian Prospector’s Aid
and the Chamber feels that it
would be worth further investiga
tion in respect to Alaska.
Mr. Mandeville is to check on
what night the Chamber can have
the High School next month,
around April 22, for another barn
dance and to start making plans.
Mr. Hunt said he was thinking
about writing an ordinance on
burials. The Chamber thought
this would be a good idea.
Mr. Harper suggested that the
Chamber of Commerce take some
active interest in the civic affairs
and get something constructive
done. Mr. Mandeville suggested
that the Board of Directors meet
sometime in the evening and get
some constructive ideas and then
present them to the members at
luncheon.
Mr. Duffield suggested the
Chamber of Commerce sponsor a
monthly Town Hall Tonight with
an hour or so discusion and then
perhaps a dance afterward.
