WHAT OF THOSE AVIATION FIELDS ?
In no part of America are there as many commercial
planes per capita as in Alaska. Here the highways of the
air make up for the deficiency in highways of the land
Hence Alaskans take to the air—and they do it with forti
tude. Likewise the Alaskan flier is called on to employ all
his grit in addition to no end of skill.
Landings, takeoffs and aids to navigation are what arc
most needed in this vast northern empire. The intrepid
aviators do not hesitate in winter flying in every tempera
ture and under every condition in all seasons. And they
are carrying on against heavy' handicaps.
Many places which are served by the planes need mod
ern fields. A comprehensive program for modern fields and
the much deserved auxiliary services of radio and weather
stations were recommended to Washington some months age
No intimation has been received as to prospects of gett
ing these sorely needed aids. Alaska needs them to haster
the development of her richly endowed regions which art
contributing six millions annually to the nation and which
will contribute multiplied millions in the future, w'hen ade
quate assistance is afforded.
More and better airfields are needed and needed at once
It is to be hoped the federal government in its compre
hensive rehabilitation program and the allotment of millions
of dollars for new services will not overlook the urgenl
needs of Alaska. Money spent now in providing the Alaska
airfields and the auxiliary services will be a permanent in
vestment.
Once the fields are established they will be there for
all time. For the greater safety of the flying public, anc
for the protection of the daring men who guide the aircrafl
and for economic reasons the funds for the needed installa
tions should be forthcoming at once.
The Alaskan fliers who have blazed the air trails and
done it largely without airfields—invading the remotesl
sections of Alaska are pioneers whose efforts mark them as
without a peer in their line—and men whose pluck should

be rewarded with every aid possible to render them.
If New York had as many planes per capita as Alaska
she would have more planes than she could find parking
space for within a radius of many miles. Planes based at
, Anchorage are equivalent to one for every 100 people. Im
agine what a fleet of these ships would be swarming over
Washington could she boast such a proportionate per capita.
The sky would literally be clouded with them.
A land thus so devoted to the new mode of travel should
have the benefit of good permanent airfields and other facili
ties at once.
Appropriations before Congress are long delayed, and
should they come now the work of installation of the desired
services during the present season will be delayed. Such ap
propriations and others for Alaska should have been known
long ere this, so that necessary equipment for doing the
work could be on the ground or enroute by this time. How
ever, since the delays by Congress are beyond the powers
of anyone in this region, it is to be hoped the grants will be
forthcoming in a short time and the improvements made
with all possible speed consistent with efficient work.—An
