Dr. and Mrs. Terris Moore ar

to Nome.
Dr. Moore, who is president of
the University of Alaska, and
Mrs. Moore plan to visit Nunivak,

New Species Taxicabs,
Airborne Variety, at Nome
The airlift to Nome took an in
*• • t . *
teresting slant when two enter
prising taxicab owners took to
the air with their new cabs.
Charles Reader and Bob Can
M
non of the Q Cab, made the flight
to* Seattle where they picked up
two new Plymouth cabs, drove
them to Fairbanks. At Fairbanks
they were loaded aboard a Wien
Airlines C-46 cargo plane and
flown to Nome and were put into
immediate service over the 4th
of July holiday.
Loading the two cars in one
cargo plane entailed some close
fitting but it was accomplished by
removal of fenders and bumpers.
Thus the two new Q cabs be
come, as far as we know, the only
airborne taxis anywhere.
