Permanent Certification Needed
We wish to go on record favor
ing permanent certification of
Alaskan airlines. It seems the only
logical means by which the air
lines can operate.
Sen. Magnuson of Washington is
seeking legislation that will amend
the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938,
and grant permanent certification
to PNA and other airlines in Alas
ka, and those flying between Seat
tle and Alaska and Hawaii.
Art Woodley an Alaskan Bush
Pilot of note, who wrote his share
of Alaska’s aviation history, is
president of the Pacitic .Northern
Airlines. The enviable record for
safe flying chalked up by his com
pany gives him the right to ask
for permanent certification. As
pointed out by Ray Martin, agent
here for the company, granting
permanent certificate would assist
the airlines in planning for the
future, and would be the deciding
factor in determining expendi
tures for expansion of the service.
We have been well served by
PNA. We urge their permanent
certification.
Shut That Water Tap\(Jff
The possibility of turning on a
tap expecting to get water and
finding none is imminent. City
officials state the reservoir supply
s depleting at an alarming rate.
The low water supply is due
largely, according to city officials,
to the practice of keeping water
taps running in order to prevent
systems from freezing. Desireable
as it may be to prevent this an
noying occurance, the resultant
situation of no water at all would
be even worse.
Anchorage is faced with the
same situation. There is adequate
water here for Ordinary use. The
cooperation of users is aked to
prevent a serious shortage. Turn
off that running tap.
Repair of a broken main evi
dent on Mission Road would help
the situation, too.
