173 Projects On
F.A.A. Plan For
Alaskan Airports
Required airport development in i
Alaska during the next five years !
may total as high as $45,584,000. ac
cording to the Federal Aviation
Agency.
The figures were released under
the National Airport Plan covering
the 1963-1967 fiscal years, which was
released last week.
The plan, which is revised each j
year, specifies projects which the
FAA administrator considers neces- I
sary to provide an airport system
capable of meeting current and
anticipated needs of civilian avia
tion throughout the country. Al
though inclusion in the plan is no
guarantee for construction, an air
port must be listed in the plan be
fore it is eligible for assistance un
der the Federal-aid Airport Pro
gram.
Projects entailing such items as
acquisition of land, lighting, pav
ing. and construction of airports,
would bring improvements to a to
tal of 173 Alaskan localities, of
which 68 would be construction of
new airports, the remainder the
improvement of existing facilities.
Some of the improvements listed
in the plan were also included in |
the Federal Air Airport Program
announced in January under the
1962 fiscal year. Alaska’s 1962 fed
tral aid apportionment amounted to j
$3,991,917, which was to be matched
with $2,396,000 from the state to
make a total 1962 program of close
to $6.5 million.
These funds were allocated for
work at Fairbanks International
Airport Anchorage International
Airport, Merrill Field at Anchor
age, Barrow, Gambell, Juneau Mu
nicipal Airport. Kotzebue. Andreaf
sky Sand Point and Savoonga.

CANCER CAN BE CURED... IF...
“Cancer can be cured if taken in
time"—and Mrs. Amante T. Hanson,
Fairbanks resident and Alaskan
since 1907 said today that she is
living proof of the statement.
Both of Mrs. Hanson’s parents
died of cancer and in 1958 after a
checkup at Seattle's Virginia Mason
Clinic, she was told that she had
an intestinal tumor—cancer, and it
should be removed.
Mrs. Hanson says that after the
fifth day of her surgery the doctor
came in and told her that she was
one of the more fortunate women—
the tumor that she had had con
tained malignant cancers but it was
removed in time. In another month
it might have been too late. She
had been cured.
The next year. Mrs Hanson went
r
to Seattle for another checkup and
she discovered that she had cancer
again, no way connected to the one
that had been removed. She then
had major surgery again, and again
left the hospital cancer free.
For the past two years she has
had checkups, but no cancer has
been found. “I will have to go to
the Mason Clinic again this summer
and for the two following for check
ups. but I feel that I will continue
to hear the cheering words of "No
Cancer," says Mrs. Hanson. "I may
develop more cancers, but if I do,
they also will be taken in time.”
