GOOD WORK AT NORTHWEST AVIATION
PLANNING COUNCIL
The Fairbanks News-Miner in a recent editorial says: j
Splendid service was rendered Alaska at the recent!
Northwest Aviation Planning Council in Portland by
her delegates and friends.
Outstanding developments were the placing of the ;
Alaska air base program ahead of that for the Pacific
Northwest, and the endorsement of the Bureau of Com
merce program for the spending of $2,900,000 for selec
tion and improvement of at least 169 airfields for Alas
ka, together with recommendations for speedy action.
To Victor B. Ross, experienced Alaskan aviator and
member of the Alaskan legislature which is to convene
January 11th, and to Ike P. Taylor, chief engineer of
the Alaska Road Commission, who were present as the
official delegates from Alaska, goes great credit for the
favorable action. They were given prominent places
oil flic most important committees and were accorded
special honors in the main list of addresses.
. General H. H. Arnold, of the U. S. Army Air Corps,
and prominent other army and navy officers, and influ
ential public men of British Columbia and the North
west States were in attendance, and lent their aid and
support to the resolutions adopted.
Doubtless these recommendations will go far in gett
ing the much desired early action for the two big Alas
kan air projects. It was a happy thought to have two
practical men such as Mr. Ross and Mr. Taylor at the
council, and Fairbanks was particularly fortunate in
having present a territorial representative from this
division and a practical flier from this city—and the
only Alaskan aviator at the council. Mr. Taylor’s long
experience in highway construction work in the Terri
tory, and his contacts with the federal government and
the general field services of the Territory through his'
intimate knowledge as to the important work ahead in
official capacity made it possible for him to speak with
respect to the army base and aviation programs.
ihe recommendations such as were made at the
Northwest Planning Council are in the right direction.
If they be carried out soon, as they should, they will
ha ten the day of development of Alaska as can noth
ing else.
Alaska, as the most air-minded portion of America,
and forced to depend to a vast degree on aviation for
her transportation, has a crying need of airfields.
The good work at the Northwest Council is invalu
ab'e to Alaska. The service rendered there, however,
should not be expected to stand alone. It needs sup
port. Every organization in Alaska, every community
and every individual should now follow up the work
with resolutions of endorsement and petitions and re
commendations through every channel—and especially
at this important period when Congress and the Terri
torial legislature are about to convene and when the
budgets and programs for the year are being cast.

An Old Ox Team
Is Kelp To Family
Mi Trie Associated Press)
GILMER, Texas, Jan.—An ox
team pulled the R. F. Brown fam
ily of nine from the relief rolls
and rooted it into east Texas soil.
Three years ago, Brown, now
41, faced economic ruin and des
pair when the lumber mills with
which he had worked 14 years
closed down.
Brown did odd jobs and finally
turned to relief work. Then he
rented a small piece of land, al
though he knew little about farm
ing.
He moved his family to the five
acre farm. He swapped his hand
saw for a 4 months old steer and
a few days later traded his cor
penter plane for a second young
ox. Then he started work.
This fall he harvested cotton,
corn, sweet potatoes and other
products from his now 22 acre
farm and the family table is load
ed with good tilings to eat.
Mrs. Brown did her share. She
raised chickens and traded some
of them for a cow. Now the
Browns’ have the oxen, two cows,
a yearling, a fleck of chickens
and a pig pen enroute to the
imoke -house.
