Navy Completes Research Station;
Alaska Sea Frontier Plans Venture
The Navy has a new Arctic re
search station just completed. It
is called Arlis One. It is an ice
flow located some 420 miles north
east of Point Barrow, Alaska—180
miles inside the Arctic polar pack
ice.
Forty hours and 45 minutes
after the first piece of cargo was
discharged on the ice, the flag
was raised over the campsite.
The short ceremony was witnes
sed by the crew of the icebreaker
USS Burton Island and scientists
who will man the camp.
It marked the end of an astonish
ing transformation of a barren ice
floe into a going site for Arctic
research.
At the time of the flag raising
all ten buildings were completed
and equipped with electric lights,
water and oil heaters, making in
teriors comfortable, food and
equipment stored, machinery and
radios placed in operation—even
the bunks were made. All that
was left to do was move in.
This operation was designed by
the Office of Naval Research in
Washington, D. C., planned by the
Alaskan Sea Frontier at Kodiak,
and turned over to the Arctic
Research Laboratory and the USS
Burton Island for coordination and
execution.
During the operation, and to pro
vide on the spot coordination in
selecting a suitable floe, Mr. Max
Brewer, director of the Arctic Re
search Lab, accompanied the Bur
ton Island, which is commanded
by Commander Griffith C. Evans,
USN, of Hollister, Calif.
Dr. Brewer and Dr. Kenneth
Bennington, of the University of
Washington, flew over the general
area before selecting the floe that
became Arlis One. Dr. Bennington
will be the station leader when the
island becomes operational.
In addition to Dr. Bennington, a
specialist in petrofabrics of sea ice
from Seattle’s University of Wash
ington, there are six other scien
tists who will occupy the floating
ice island. They are: Charles
Knight, Seattle, crystal orientation
of sea ice; George Bray ton, Seattle,
oceanography; John Tibbs, Los An
geles, marine biology; Renold Han
son, Seattle, micro meteorology;
Robert Ditzler, Seattle, micro met
eorology and radio operator; Frank
Akvik, Point Barrow, Alaska, camp
maintenance. The balance of per
sonnel, from three to five men,
will join this staff on Arlis One
in October.

The School Patrol has been
organized, according to Chief of
Police Vickery, who asks that all
motorists in the school area obey
the Patrol’s orders.
Vickery also called attention of
the motorist to the fact that when
a school bus is loading or unload

will stop and remain stopped un

The Chief also pointed out that
the speed in the school area is
only 15 m.p.h. during school days.
“This area will be patroled by
the Department during these
periods,” Vickery stated.
Vickery called attention to “no

Bay adjacent to the Elks Club.
Cars parked between the signs
will be ticketed, he said.
