Facts About the CAA
By CAA Communications Specialist
Kenneth B. Ruhle
Many volumes have been written
about the vastness, the magnifi
cence, the incredible natural
wealth, and the spellbinding beauty
of Alaska. As many more could oe
written and yet barely scratch the
surface of this fascinating subject.
Forceful poetry has been written
about this forbidding, brooding
land, which jealously guards Its
treasures from the weak and unfit,
but pours out its bounty on the
strong and the sane. The soul-stir
ring greatness of Alaska is some
thing which can only be felt, with
an inner understanding which can
not be imparted by the wordsmith
to one who has not feasted in royal
solitude on the vista of endless
mountain ranges and the infinite
depths of a glorious Alaskan sun
set.
To the larger cities of the Terri
tory have come people from all
walks of life, from all parts of the
United States. Here have come the
young men. with life ahead, with
glowing hopes and ambitions, and
the older men who remain young
in heart and look to the Golden
Land for the fulfillment of the pur
poses of lives half spent. Here also
come the pioneers, the preachers,
the merchants, craftsmen and build
ers, and the riff-raff who inevitably
appear where wealth is created.
From these cities, there is a con
stant flow of the bravest and best

to the smaller communities and
to isolated locations, where they
toil alone or at the sides of wives *
who share their dreams to build
homes and enterprises for the de-!
velopment of the great land’s un
counted riches. This activity has
spread, and continues to spread
over the Territory from the mild,
fjord slashed southeastern coast to
well above the Arctic Circle, from
the Canadian border to far out in
the Aleutians. Wherever these peo
ple go, and for whatever purpose,
one thing which is certain to go
with them them is air transporta
tion.
j Where the sourdoughs of gold
; rush days depended on the annual
boat and on the dog sled for mail,
transportation and supplies, the
modern pioneers rely on daily or
| weekly airplane flights td their
I isolated communities. School chil
| dren in Nome drink fresh milk
i flown from the States. People in
Kotzebue and Candle have fresh
j oranges, bananas, and celery sum
mer and winter. This is a distant
! yodel from the days when a few
! raw potatoes was all that stood be
I tween the white inhabitant and
I crippling scurvy. Today, in a great
■ easure, Alaskans owe life, health
I and prosperity to the airliner and
| the bush pilot. In fact many have
; settled in such remote places that
' they are totally dependent on air
| transportation.
In the early days of Alaskan avi
ation. when the bush pilot heroes
were first blazing the sky trails be
tween the larger settlements, they
; never knew whether or not the
weather! would permit them to
reach their destinations or the field
conditions allow them to land when
they got there. The element of
risk was greatly increased bv their
lack of communications, which
forced them to rely on Shanks
Mare, or, if the stars were .right, on
a friendly native’s dog team, for
rescue from a crash or forced land
ing. The tremendous aviation in
dustry of present day Alaska would
be impossible under such condi
tions, and the settlement and de
velopment of the Territory would
he retarded almost to a standstill
were it not for the fact that the
Commerce Department’s Civil
Aeronautics Administration has es
tablished an extensive and ever
vigilant airway communications
system.
This system utilizes a great di
versity of both old and new meth
ods and equipment. Its functions
include the collection and distribu
tion of weather reports, forecasts,
information on the conditions of
landing fields and aids to naviga
tion, airplane position reports, traf
fic clearances, and load messages.
Point to point communications are
maintained between the Alaskan
CAA stations and Canadian, State
side, and Aleutian stations. Radio
aids to navigation are spotted along
the airways, and any well equipped
flight can contact one of the forty
four CAA radio stations from any
place in the Territory.

NEW YORK BANKS INVEST
IN FAIRBANKS HOUSING
Juneau — Savings banks of
New York State this week in
vested $3,080,000 in Alaska’s
progress through a mortgage
loan to the Fairview housing
development in Fairbanks. This
was said by the Alaska Develop
ment Board to be the greatest
distance from which substantial
capital has been attracted to the
Territory.
Frederick W. Walker, vice
president of the Institutional
Securities Corp. of New York
City, and Frederick W. Berens,
mortgage broker from Washing
ton, D. C., came to Alaska to
close the deal.
The Community Savings Bank
of Rochester, New York, as
sponsor, and the Buffalo Savings
Bank of Buffalo, participating,
are making money available on
a mortgage basis to insure con
struction of the 270-unit apart
ment development. The mort
gage will be held in trust by
the Institutional Securities Corp.
which represents 130 savings
banks in New York State. This
corporation holds $55 million in
mortgages throughout the Unit
ed States. This is its first finan
cial venture in Alaska.
Walker stopped off at Juneau
to meet with Governor Gruen
ing. He spoke of the growing
interest of Eastern financial cir
cles in Alaska investments and
said he had been agreeably im
pressed with recent progress in
the Territory and the soundness
of development here.
