So many people have told us that
we’re past-masters at cooking roast
beef that we take extra pains to live
up to our reputation, for roast beef
is not a meat — it’s an Art

'roast cook’ must be born such.”

Senators Asking
Cross Runways
At Local Airport
A Senate resolution (No. 44) was
introduced March 19 by Senators
Al Owen and iNick Begich in the
Alaska legislature relating to the
construction of a cross runway at
the Kodiak airfield.
The resolution states that where
as the present airfield has only a
single runway and crosswinds fre
quently make the use of this run
way hazardous for small aircraft,
and it is anticipated that the con
struction of a cross runway would,
by increasing safety of operation,
result in an increase of 70 per cent
in private and commercial use of
the field.
It was also brought out that com
mercial carriers have asked that
the FAA facilities be moved to Ko
diak’s airfield from Woody Island.
