Afire driving to Anchorage
last Tnursday morning, y • • •
t 'nded tho joint Anchorage -
Seward Chamber at (. ommerce
dinner honoring tile guests who
''•'ere to dedicate the new high
way.
At the dedication services Fri
day in Girdwood, we saw sev
eral Kenai Peninsula resicients
besides tne Seward delegation.
Mr. and Mrs. Alan Petersen and
tiieir son Jim from Kenai wei\
there. Air. and Mrs. Sol Urie
from Cooper Landing w. re also
in the crowd, l’here may have
been representatives from other
Kenai communities present, but
unknown to us.
open kits irom acwarcl were
Clarence Keating and Mayor
Lanier. We w.ie all impressed
by their concise and sincere
statements. The Mayor said sim
ply that he was "proud” to be
there to see the opening of this
all important road, and every
body knew that lie meant it.
They both said as much m one
sentence as all the long v. inch J
addresses that preceded theirs.
On Saturday w<_ drove to
Palmer and Wasiiia. \i i arrive.i
in Palmer just in time to imd
tec town all ex Cited, i vo tire
trucks pulled up at the dep >t
as the train stopped. 'P’bik.r.g
t-ier. was a lire, vve ioilowed
tne crowd. An e.ld t.ppt aring
procc ssion < . :,nm;e; beings,
which upon, cios r u.specLon
proved to be m n dro.-sc d m
i male attire, chained together
by heavy chains on tin.- right
feet, met the tram They turtie.l
out to be the w leommg com
mittee for a group oi' E.ks who
were being initiated into tin
lodge. One member carried a
large white pail with tne sign
reading "Palmer Chamber of
Commerce” on one side of it.
The group finally assembled
in parade formation led by the
fire trucks and the school band.
I was a little envious of Palmer
with their fine banc!. The young
people were proudiy wearing
bright new uniforms of deep
blue and gold. Led by a team
of pretty majorettes who per- ]
formed a smart drill, the pa
radc took its course through
the cent r of the village.
The largest flag I have over <
seen was carried at shoulder j
height by the Elks.
Everybody in Palmer was ■
having a glorious time. .
Back in Anchorage, Baird
French had his car impounded ?
during the night and it cost him
SHO to get it out! Other than
that, ev rything went well.
MSTS BOYCE IN PORT
The Military Sea Transport
Service freighter Boyce is in
port at the Army deck this
week. Contrary to rumor, this
is not the ship which will trans
port the 30th Engineers back
to their base in California. An
other ship is due at the end of
the week for that purpose, ac
cording to Captain Carr, Port
Commander.

’Many claim that freight rates
an all h o high, but that is not
1 he subject of this editorial.
Whether . v tall freight rates « >
up or down, or slay right where
they are, the public still has the
light to claim fair, equitable-,
and non-discriminatory rates;
rates which reasonably reflect
variations in cost to carriers.
There seems to be some rea
sonable doubt that the city of
Seward enjoys such a fair and
equitable rate structure, on the
products'which our own citizens
consume, and even more to the
point, on commodities consigned
to Seward for subsequent distri
bution to Xenai Peninsula point-;
on a wholesale basis. Whil. Sew
ard. business firms appreciate the
right to save a few pennies on
shipments consigned to Wood
row, no one would go so far as
to claim that this quaint contra
diction represents a true reflec
tion of .carrier’s costs. No one
would claim for one minute that
it costs carriers less to load ship
ments on or in a car, and have
that car hauled to the Woodrow
siding, than it does to land the
same shipment on the Seward
dock, to be delivered by local
drayage firms or possibly by the
coma: nee's own truck.

kept up high enough to spill the

the wheels.
The airplane can quite safely
be angled away from the wind
as far as the rudder will hold it,

only straight down-wind. Thus
a series of "tacking” maneuvers
may be n.’cessary to reach a
parking area on the cross-wind
side of tii airport. A planned
landing approach may reduce
the amount of maneuvering
necessary.
The airplane is taxi cl :oto tlie
wind, and quartering away from
it as far as the rudder will hold
it, tail high, if necessary, angling
toward the side of the field con
taining the parking area. At the
upwind limit, it is turned straight
down-wind and brought to the
down-wind end of th field in
preparation for another "tack.”
