CA A List 65 Alaska j
Places For Airport
Improvement
WASHINGTON, UV)—The Civil
Aeronautics Administration has
listed 65 places in Alaska at which
it believes airports should be built
or improved. It also listed 37 sea
plane base sites.
They are part of a national to
tal of 5,093. The listing, require^
annually under the federal air
port act of 1946, is based on the
CAA’s estimates of demands for
air service in the next three years.
The CAA emphasized this point: ,
The listing does not necessarily j
mean an airport will be built or
improved at each place.
The locations chosen for actual
work will be selected, the CAA
said, on a basis of greatest need
and on the amount of money Con
gress will appropriate for such |
purposes.
The construction list for the fis- i
cal year beginning July 1, 1950,
will not be announced, therefore,
until after Congress acts on the
general appropriation bill now
under consideration.
The C AA estimated it would
cost a total of $15,927,000 to carry
out the full proposed program for
Alaska. Of this $11,906,000 would
be in federal funds and $4,021,000
in funds to be put up by local 1
sponsors.
The Alaska plan calls for mak
ing improvements at 51 existing
airports and 10 seaplane bases and
for 14 new fields and 27 new sea
plane bases.
The CAA provided no break- ,
down of estimated costs of air- !
ports.

selected sites, are: Alcan, Canyon,

WINNIPEG, Man., (/I*)—Winni
peg’s flood-weary residents hope
fully looked yesterday for the
first slow drop in the Red River’s
muddy waters that have driven
90,000 persons from their homes
in the last three weeks.
The peak of Manitoba’s worst
flood in more than a century held
steady at 30.2 feet, unchanged for
more than 30 hours. One provin
cial official predicted the waters
should begin to subside soon.
Flood control officials contin
ued to keep a weary, wary eye on
the area’s weakening, over-strain
ed dikes. They emphasized the
surging Red and its tributary As
siniboine and the Seine Rivers
still could break through and
bring new disaster to the water
logged greater Winnipeg area.

ROTARY CLUB
The Rotarians watched a Ford
car being manufactured from the
melting pot of molten steel to the
finished product of man’s manu
facturing genius as the car rolled
off the assembly line onto the na
tion’s highways. It was asking a
good bit, but the genial program
chairman, Bud Harper, himself
associated with another line of
cars lived up to the club motto of
“Service Before Self.” and ably
ran the sound film as the club
watched the “Fords Go By” at
their noon luncheon Thursday.
Guests of the club were William
Levers, of Juneau, here in con
nection with Masonic work, and
himself a member of the Juneau
Rotary Club, and L. C. Ferguson,
of Unalakleet.
