Canadian Fliers
*' Plan Air Service
London, England
WINNIPEG, Man.—A regular 48
hour air service between Winnipeg
and London is being planned by a
group of prominent Canadian fliers,
it is learned here.
The sponsors of the plan are Roy
Brown, Ted Stull, Milton Ashton and
Jack Moar, all well-known northern
Canada fliers.
They believe that such a project is
feasible and are convinced that a
regular service between England
and Canada will be in operation
within two years.
The route they have under consid
eration lids on almost a direct west
to east line from Winnipeg across
Hudson Bay, Baffin Land, Green
land and Iceland, to the Faro Is
lands, and then south to the north
ern-most tip of Scotland—a distance
of 3,790 miles. The longest flight
across water would be 495 miles.'

winds and storms had broken down
the power lines to tine Anchorage
radio station, which was out of com
munication until early this morning
not only with Seattle, but with Al
aska stations. Due to a congestion
^ of business the telegraphic press re
ports were not received here com

BUSINESS IS TO
HELP WITH THE
GOV’T ON NRA
NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 8 — The
Congress of American industry pledg
ed cooperation with the government
in working for recovery.
It offered a plan which included
the extension for one year of the
National Industrial Recovery Act,
and after its expiration next June, a
new law to be on an elective basis
for those industries which desired
an opportunity for further trial of
portions of the NRA which were be
lieved to be worthy of extension. At

SEASICK FISH
ARE BIGGEST
WORRY PARK
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK,
Cal. — Preventing a million fish
from getting seasick on dry land is
the problem with which Ranger
Bill Reymann must cope periodic
ally.
Reymann’s job is to supervise
planting of young fry in Yosemite’s
Lake and streams.
The swaying motion of the con
veyances causes the fish to become
violently ill, polluting the water.
The polluted water results in heavy
mortality.
To minimize this danger, Rey
mann places the fish on a 36 to 40
hour fast, prior to moving time. If,
in spite of the fast, they still become
ill, the water must be changed im
mediately.
Temperature, too, has much to do
with * successful movement of the
fish. They die if the temperature
of the water rises more than 15 de
grees. So Reymann tests the water
constantly with thermometers, and
if it starts to heat, ice is used to re
store the original temperature.
If the melting ice fills the tanks
above a prescribed level, the trout
in the waters of Yosemite this year
smother from lack of air.
Then, with transporation difficult
ies surmounted, Reymann’s techni
cal knowledge is necessary -to select
proper planting sites. Certain spec
ies of trout survive only at certain
altitudes. Eastern Brook trout flour
ish at altitudes over 7,000 feet and
golden trout thrive in rarified atmo
sphere above 8,000 feet elevation.
In spite of the difficulties, Rey
mann planted more than 800,000
Ash.

PWA Giving Sum
Money But Must
Wait On Congress
Fairbanks’ application for $50,000
from the Public Works Administra
tion has been approved in all par
ticulars by it, and the money will be
allotted just as soon as the Public
Works has any funds in its treasury.
All its finances are now exhausted
but they are expected to be replen
ished by the Congress meeting in
January says the Fairbanks News
Miner of Dec. 1st.
The gratifying information rela
tive to the Fairbanks application is
contained in a telegram that Mayor
E. B. Collins received from Dele
gate in Congress Anthony J. Di
mond and that the municipal exec
utive submitted to the City Council
at its meeting last night.
The message to ttye Mayor from
the Delegate follows:
“Application of Fairbanks for a
loan and grant has been examined
and found eligible, but there are
now no further funds available for
allottments of this charcter. I be
lieve the allotment will be made if
and when the Public Works Admin
istration receives additional money.”
News advices from Washington,
Mayor Collins stated, are to the ef
fect that the new Congress will act
quickly, immediately after meeting
in January, in appropriating funds
for the. Public Works Administra
tion.
The Mayor and City Council de
cided to await the actiop of Congress
rather than offer a public sale of
bonds.
The $50,000 is to be expended for
a combined City Hall and Fire De
partment Building, which will cost
$30,000; for sewer extension, $10,
000 and for sidewalk repairs and con
struction, $10,000.
The authorities are going ahead
with the perfection of plans for the
improvements so the work, after
Public Works funds are made avail
able, can be started early in the
spring.

Flying Party Has
Outing Interior
Lake Recently
BOYS* COOK MULLIGAN FROM
EMERGENCY RATIONS NEAR
NAPAIMUTE.
Pilot Don Glass arrived in Anchor
age after dark recently, and after
circling the city, landed safely,
bringing in A1 Nordstrom and M.V.
Manville, carpenters from Crooked,
says the Anchorage Daily Times.
Don left here earlier in the week,
and while on the way to Napaimute
he ran into^ thick weather and had
to put down on a lake 13 miles from
the trading post. Nordstrom, Man
ville and Eddie Borge, a mechanic
from Flat, were with Don at the
time. They were there nearly two
days, with a temperature of about
15 above zero. Don had plenty of
gas to go into Napaimute had the
weather remained clear enough for
him to proceed without putting
down, but once down he decided
the gas supply too light to take off
safely, and with two of the other
men, hiked over to the post and
brought out some gas with a dog
team. While down the party had
an informal picnic making mulli
gan, and cooking beans and rice
from the emergency supply kit,
which came in mighty handy, and
the boys all returned fine and fit.
While he was on the lake some of
the other planes made a cruise look
ing for him, thinking possibly some
thing serious had happened to him.
Pilot Litteley, with the Star Air
Service, cruised about three hours
on the quest, and Pilot A1 Monson
reported seeing Don. '
Don left again today for the in
terior with his Art Woodley plane,
taking Dr. Lawlor Seeley, dentist,
and "Happy” and “Lucky” for Flat.
