AIRLINE CHIEF
TALKS TO STOCKHOLDERS
By Mary Halm
Air carriers serving Alaska
receive in the neighborhood of
10 per cent of the total 80 mil
lion dollars paid in subsidies in
the entire United States—tax
payers are then paying 8 million
dollars yearly to benefit 226,000
Alaskans receiving subsidy
benefits.
These were two major points
brought out by Raymond Petersen,
president of Northern Consolidated
Airlines in a message to the stock
holders at their annual meeting Fri
day in Anchirage.
In commenting on the economic
worth of a company to its communi
ty, Petersen explained that at pres
ent, national policy subsidizes 13 lo
cal service airlines, two Hawaiian
airlines, three helicopter experi
mental operations, two “South-48 to
Alaska carriers" and seven wholly
Intra-Alaskan airlines.
Approximately five million dol
lars of this money goes to the wholly
intra-Alaska owned and operated
carriers whose entire operations and
payrolls live and do business in
Alaska.
Explains Costs
To answer: “Why does it cost a
scheduled airline so much money to
conduct its operations?” Peterson
said, “Compliance with Federal
regulations administered by the
Federal Aviation Agency air car
rier and air safety branches of the
government.
“I might add that if all these
regulations were to be repealed and
subsidy removed that Northern
Consolidated Airlines would not
basically change its operation or re
duce safety standards, for we have
found that these requirements are j
sound and necessary to the safe j
conduct of scheduled air transporta- i
tion. I hasten to add that it is my i
personal belief that all other sched
uled airlines would be in complete
agreement with this concept.”
He also stated that 63 communi
ties served out of Anchorage and
Fairbanks are completely reliant
upon air service for their year
round transportation needs and all
of the passengers, mail of all classes
and perishables today move by air
for people around the Bering Sea,
down the Tanana and Yukon Rivers.
As the state develops, so will its j
air transportation, said Petersen.
Action taken by the Federal govern
ment in the forthcoming Pacific
North west-Alaska Investigation will
determine for many years to come
the basic pattern, strength and
economic worth to Alaska of this
important home-owned industry, he
added.
Important Case
“The Pacific Northwest-Alaska
case will determine whether the
strongest passenger traffic routes in
the State are to be monopolized by
airlines owned and managed by non
residents, using equipment designed
for the long haul, based and main
tained outside the State of Alaska,
or served by a local home-owned in
dustry with all of its payrolls and
equipment based and taxed in Alas
ka, using aircraft geared to the
needs of the specialized Intra
Alaska service.
“The importance of this case
should not be overlooked by all

Red Boucher
In 1956, Red Boucher, Navy
weather forecaster and public
relations man for 20 years and a
partner won $25,000 on a series
of appearances on “Name That
Tune ’. Red gave his half of the
prize money to St. Vincent's Or
phanage, Fall River, Mass.,
where he had been raised dur
ing his childhood years.
Boucher, now owner of Pan
Alaska, Inc., and his brother
went to St. Vincent’s when their
father died and were brought up
by the Sisters of Mercy. When
he was 15 years old Red received
special permission from the mil
itary to join the Navy. At the
age of 21 he was made a Chief
Petty Officer and he retired at
36 years the fall after his much
publicized appearance on the
famed quiz show.
In 1956. after his retirement,
he worked in New York for
awhile selling mutual funds and securities. He married Heida,
his wife, in 1957. She had been a contestant on the show at
the same time as he, although they had not appeared together.
“Red" said that he was tired of the work he was doing out
of Washington D.C. and had always wanted to come to Alaska
so he and his wife just took off for the territory. He always had
wanted to be in a country when it became a state; and was.
The couple drove the Alaska highway to Anchorage, only
they took the wrong turn and landed in Fairbanks. ‘‘Our bank
account was low and we decided to stay.”
Boucher worked then as a manufacturer’s representative in
sporting goods until he opened his own store in 1959.
He is a lifetime member of the American Legion and was
responsible for setting up the present rank order advancement
in the Navy. Fairbanksans know Boucher for the tremendous
amount of time that he’s spent working with city recreation.
He has managed the senior baseball team champions for sev
eral years and is a member of the Fairbanks City Council.
The two little Bouchers are John, 3, and Johanna, 1. An
other is expected soon.

Alaskans whose desire it is to build
a strong local industry,” Peterson
emphasized.
He stated that the trunk service
from the “South 48” to Ketchikan,
Juneau, Fairbanks, Anchorage and
possibly Kodiak is provided by four
airlines, two of which receive 2.8
million dollars per year subsidy, and
the others which compete complete
ly without subsidy.
‘‘It is your company's hope
(N.C.A.), that it will be able to
show the CAB, who are determined
to eliminate subsidy on the routes
between the South-48 and Alaska,
that the addition of the local routes
of these Seattle-based carriers to
your local home-owned airlines will
not only be beneficial to the cost
picture of the former but will also
strengthen our local airlines and
further reduce subsidy on their
routes,” concluded Petersen.
