VISITING WRITERS ON ALASKA
Many people have bean heard to make .the
remark that thoy did wish visiting writers
on Alaska would spend a littlo more time i
in the Territory before attempting to tell
the "outside" about us. Horc is a sample
| of what happens when a writor hurriedly
'makes r. trip through the Territory and then
' goos back to a Hotel Room in New York to
'writo • . about Alaska—the land of op
! portunity. &
In'the Washington Daily News for SeptembaJp*
17, Jim G. Lucas, Scrips-Howard staff writer
under a Fairbanks dr.tclino says:
"You can get a hamburger in Fairbanks'if
you’re willing to pay 75 conts for it. Soft
drinks are a quarter.
"Dishwashers draw $400 a month....
"Alaska has no GPA; had none throughout the
war. "
"Prices have always been high. Absence of
rationing has had the effect of bringing to
■the territory articles in scarce supply
elsewhere. . .
PAlaskan busincssmon arc offering what ap
pears at first blush to be fabulous salaries
to Amy and Navy men getting out of service.
A' commercial airlines has offered the com
mandant of the Navy’s Fairbanks terminal
$1000 a month to fly for then. An cx-nors
paporman has boon offerod $750 a month to
remain in tho Territory."
"Alaska knows inflation. At Anchorage tho
Army is paying $800 a month for civilian '
cooks, almost as milch as it pays Brig. Gen.
Robert II. Bathurst, chief of staff for tho
Alaska Department." (Taker, from quotations
appearing in Jossen’s Wc.akly concerning the
above named article.^
