Pilot, Three Passengers
Dunked In Gastineau,
JUNEAU, </P)—A Sea bee plane
landing with its wheels down up
ended in Gastineau Channel Tues
day, dunking the pilot and three
passengers.
Rescuers pulled one of the pas
sengers, identified only as Father
Fomi, through a side door and
rushed him to a hospital here. His
condition was believed serious.
Other passengers were George
Tapley of Juneau, an Alaska Road
Commission engineer, and W. K.
Yost, of Pan American Airways at
Fairbanks.
The pilot, Sheldon Simmons of
Juneau, suffered cuts when
thrown through the windshield.
Mendenhall Glacier Ice
Company Changes Hands
JiUNEAU, C/P) — Mendenhall
glacier ice, wjiich is heaven only
knows how old, will be peddled
by the same company under new
management.
Henry fllead, a construction
worker, has purchased the Glacier
Ice Company from Mr. and Mrs.
Stan Perry, who are going to Los
Angeles.
A power scow and a truck are
included in the transaction. Ice
bergs are gathered at the base of
the Mendenhall Glacier and sold
in town.
The ice is clear and tasteless.
It is often used to pack sports
fish for shipment to the States.
How Did Willow Pollen
Get Into the Icecap?
JUNEAU, (ffy-How did willow
pollen get into the icecap? And
when?
That’s what Calvin J. Heusser,
research biologist from Oregon
State College wants to know. He’s
awaiting favorable weather to fly
to icecap stations near here and
bore holes in the ice.
He hopes to find plant pollen
and determine its glacial age and
the cycles of recession, he said.
Heusser said much willow pol
len was found in 1950.
The Air Force plans to drop two
2Vi ton weasels and other equip
ment.
Maynard Miller, New York, of
4
the American Geographical So
ciety, heads the expedition.
