Northwest Airlines
Leads In
Total Air Travel
Northwest Orient Airlines last
year flew 45,000 passengers be
tween Alaska and other states.
About half the air travelers who
flew between Anchorage and
points in other states flew via
Northwest.
Northwest’s president. Donald
W. Nvrop, recently said in An
chorage:” ... I want to emphas
ize that Northwest always has
been identified with the develop
ment. not the exploitation, of Al
aska.”
The airline, which offers more
non-stop air service to and from
Alaska than any other air car
rier, began service to Alaska in
1946. However, its familiarity
with the area dates back to the
dark days of WW II wrhen the
U.S. Government called upon
Northwest to set up a troop and
cargo-carrying operation through
out northwestern Canada and Al
aska including the Aleutian Is
lands.
Today, Northwest gives Alaska
more non-stop service to the oth
er 48 states than any other air
line. It flies the most modern
equipment of anjr airline serving
Alaska—swift new Douglas CD
70 and BC-6B aircraft.
The airline employs 175 per
sons in Alaska. It has an Alaska
payroll in excess of a million
dollars a year. Northwest spends
more than $4 million in Alaska
each year, most of it with busi
nessmen for local products and
services. The airline has an in
vestment in Alaska of more than
$2 million.
M. D. SNODGRASS
APPEALS TO YOUTH
M. D. Snodgrass, Republican
candidate for the At-Large Sen
ate, this week made an appeal to
Alaska’s youth to come to Al
aska’s colors. “Few people real
ize the opportunities that lie
ahead for our young men and wo
men of 19 years of age’’, he said.
“How will you meet, this chal-.
lenge?”, he asked this group.
Will you prepare yourself to take
in the full development of this
great land and make it the Great
est State as well as the largest?
Will you study the constitution
of Alaska and be prepared to vote
intelligently on August 26? The
Congress of the U.S.A. has given
you a vote of confidence. It has
set the machinery in motion.
“We older people have imposed
military duty upon you at this
age. We cannot do less than of
fer you full citizenship. How do
you feel about it? You are offer
ed full partnership in America.
We cannot offer you less.
“With Alaska Statehood in the
balance, I urge all voters to ac
cept full citizenship now. With
our affirmative vote in the pri
mary election, you young people
will vote alongside Dad and
Mother in the November election.
“There's lots of hard work
ahead. We need you’’, he con
cluded.
