Airlines Have Stop
Lights, Too!!
ANCHORAGE f/P)—It’s believed
to be the only onfe in Alaska and
maybe in the world—a stop light
to keep airplanes and automobiles
from tangling at an intersection.
The light is out at Merrill Field,
where the Palmer highway passes
an airstrip. Sometimes cars are
stopped for two blocks, waiting
for the planes to land or take off.
Field manager Roy Heaton said
21,274 operations were recorded at
the field last month—an all-time
high. The figure did not include
practice maneuvers by student pi
lots or civilian flights from several
fields within a seven-mile radius
of Merrill.

Woman Wants To
Be Un-Btiried
WASHINGTON, <;P)—The will
of a 53-year-old woman, whose
avocation was spiritualism, dis
closed she wanted her body to be
left unbalmed and unburied for
two weeks to make sure she had
not just put herself into a trance.
In the will, on file for probate,
Miss Emma von Toerne said her
“investigations” into the mystic
realms might cause her to go into
a cataleptic trance that others
would mistake for death. She add
ed that she was afraid she might
be buried before she awakened.
Elaborating on her spiritualis
tic theory, the will said the spirit
does not leave the body until de
composition set in. Furthermore,
it went on, “as long as the body
is stiff, the spirit still resides
there and is merely paralyzed.”
Miss von Toerne, an adminis
trative assistant at the maritime
commission, was found dead of
natural causes Aug. 3.
Her attorney, Rees B. Gillespie,
said that “to some extent” her
wishes were carried out.
