Here There Everywhere
PNA has ssfcftd the CAK 'for
authority to operate non-stop
flights .between Seattle and Ko
diak. thus eliminating Anchorage
as a stop, and cutting down the
flight time by more than three
hours. The Airlines seek to estab
lish the service on a summer sea
son basis—from May through Sep
tember.

Despite the fact that the pro
posal is not made to bring down
th • fare, Kodiakans would wel
come the new service as a reality.
Must people here have made the
flights so many times, the time
' 7"; --
saved would mean more than the
trip itself. The direct route is 15
per cent shorter than the 1700
miles of the present route.

The extent of air travel in and
out of Kodiak was brought out in
the hearing when the Airline's
stated they had moved 1400 pas
sengers northbound over its pres
ent route, in May and June of this
year.

feet at the broadest point, has
been washed up on the shore near
Yakutat.. It.is hairy coated and
Has a head that measures moris
than five feet in width'. One theory
is that it was a prehistoric beast
that might have been preserved in
a glacier. Of course, speculation
will run high, until some scientists
can positively identify the carcus.
Even then, there will be skeptics.
These oddities show up from time
to time, no matter where you live.
We remember one, not as big as
this one, of course, that was seen
in Okanogan Lake in British Co
lumbia. It was never established,
however, as to just what it was.
The Yakutat "monster” may prove
to be a whale after all.
