ORDER TO RAILROAD
DESCRIBED CAUSE
OF ACTION
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, — The executive order
late yesterday regarding the empowering of the Al
aska Railroad to charter vessels to transport supplies
to Alaska, received a slight correction today. The or
der read that the railroad was given this power, to
prevent food shortages and other necessities in the
Territory, as a result of the maritime strike. By exe
cutive order the Railroad is to obtain vessels from other
branches of the government for this work.
The order read “the present interruption of ocean
going and coastwise transportation to and from Alaska
has seriously interfered with the operation and main
tenance of the Alaska Railroad, and also with the dev
elopment of industries and travel, affecting the terri
tory tributary to the Railroad, by causing a shortage of
food, supplies and other necessary commodities.”
The Railroad is directed to “perform any and all
acts necessary to the operation of the vessels it takes
over”. The Railroad will continue to provide trans
portation facilities “for such a period as the Secretary
of the Interior may deem necessary. It is further dir
ected that present commercial passenger and freight
charges shall be maintained by the Railroad in connec
tion with the operation of this additional service.”

TORONTO GIRL, YOUNG AND
FAIR, SEEKING HUSBAND IN
ALASKA. WANTS TO WRITE
Canadian Miss of Fair Hair and
Blue F.ves Looking Northward
For Her Mate For Life
This is for Alaska men, unat_
tached, only.
For one of them there awaits
a Toronto girl young, petite, of
fair hajr and blue eyes.
Tired of the men she knows in
Toronto she believes the “he
man” she seeks can be found in
the Northland.
Her thoughts northward were
inspired by what she read in a
Toronto newspaper, the article
having been inspired by the state,
ment of Dr. Ernest Gruening, dir
ector of the Division of Island
Possessions and Territories of the
Department of the Interior, rcla
tive to the surplus men in the
Territory.
Here's the Letter
The Toronto girls letter follows:
September 25, 1936.
The Editor
Daily Newspaper,
Fairbanks, Alaska.
Dear Sir:
I noticed the enclosed article
jn our Toronto Daily Star, and
wondered if what it says is cor.
rect.
I am a Toronto girl, twenty-five
years old. I am 5 feet 4 inches
tall and weigh 125 pounds. I
have fair hair ami blue eyes and
am considered very good looking.
I have a nice di. p sitien and am
fond of home life, outdoor sports,
music and good Ijterature.
Home Town Men Don’t Appeal
1 am quite fed up and disgusted
with the types of men I meet
here, and am curious to know
if Alaska can produce anything
in the type of a real “he.man"
with something more to him than
the majority of nit-wits I have
been prone to meet in our fair
city.
If such there be in Alaska and
if he is lonely (as the article
states) I should imagine it might
be rather pleasant diversion to
correpond with him.
Of course, to interest me, he
must be well educated and refin.
ed have a good character, and
disposjtion and be reasonably
nice looking.
Wants Help
I wonder if you would assist
me in my experiment by printing
this letter in your paper, and if
you do, would you be kind enough
to send me a copy? I will be
pleased to pay the postage.
Thanking you in advance, I
am,
Very truly yours,
Mjss Phyliss Brandon.
