volcano has been reported sighted

Both reports came from fliers.
One said the eruption was ap
parently near sea level at Sirius
Point, on the island, with flames
spouting 300 feet into the air and
lava running into the sea.
A Northwest Airlines plane
flew over the area on its Tokyo
Anchorage route early yesterday,
but reported nothing unusual. It
was dark at the time.
Volcanic activity has occurred
infrequently in the past on the
Aleutian peninsula and along the
island chain.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Pioneer Igloo No. 1 and Ladies Pioneer Auxiliary No. 1
of Nome gratefully acknowledge and express appreciation to
Wien Alaska Airlines and Pan American World Airways for
the generous contribution which these pioneer airlines have
made to our Roof Garden this year, in donating round trip
tickets for two people from Nome to Seattle and return, in their
fast, commodious, jet airplanes during Century "21" World's
Fair at Seattle.
The above contribution was not solicited and came as a
complete surprise to our Roof Garden Committee.
It is evident that the fine pioneer spirit displayed by these
aviation companies in exploring and developing air travel in
Alaska; assisting the prospectors, miners and trappers in the
days before modern aviation existed, still lives in the business
practices of these fine, progressive air carriers.
The names of Noel and Sigurd Wien are indelibly in
scribed in the annals of early aviation in Alaska, and are known
today from Point Barrow to Copenhagen, and from Seaiiie to
Singapore.
So to, do the people of Alaska recall the fine service ren
dered by Pan American Airways in the development of Alaska
in the days of Carl Ben Eielson, Joe Crosson and other intrepid
pilots, who. like the Wien brothers risked their lives on errands
of mercy without thought of compensation or other remunera
tion. Such are the fine records of the above commercial airlines..
