Juneau Has Room’
For Air Babies
JUNEAU, — A “Baby’s Pow
der Room” for young Alaska air
passengers was recently estab
lished here — complete with cribs
burners for heating formula and
diaper-changing facilities.
This farthest north room for
traveling infants—first in Alaska,
is the brainstorm of the Juneau
Women’s Aeronautical Association
The group, headed by Mrs. Ha
zel Hermann, decided to do some
thing about the lack of facilities
for traveling mothers and their
children.
Space was donated by Robert
Thorpe, station operations manager
for Pan American, and immedi
ately the group set to work scrub
bing, painting and furnishing.
One enthusiastic passenger wrote
the airline recently, “The Aero
nautical Women’s Association and
Pan American personnel in Juneau
should be congratulated on their
efforts in establishing a baby room.
There should be one at every stop.
It gives mothers something to look
forward to.”
The facilities are free of charge.
You are cordially invited to come in
