even July days aren't so bad.

Pictured above are the 23 members of the Princeton Theological Choir, who will present a con
cert in the United Protestant Church at eight o'clock tonight. The touring songsters have crossed
nine slates and Canada in order to make their appearance in Palmer tonight. When they leave
here they'll go to the Anchorage area for some concerts, and then will leave for Seward and
southeastern Alaskan points, singing at way-slops as they go. The men have been on tour for the
past five summers; in addition, they give at least three concerts each Sunday, during the college
year at the Princeton Seminary.
FREIGHT HANDLING IS 'STREAMLINED' TOO!
The Alaska Railroad has a fleet of new stream
lined trains, but that isn't the only thing now
"streamlined" on the railroad. Freight handl
ing methods and train schedules are stream
lined loo.
Freight shed space at Anchorage is double its
former capacity. At Fairbanks the railroad has
taken over a modern warehouse-freight shed
and personnel is being added all along the line
to assure Alaskan shippers expeditious service.
The old "pioneering" days of waiting for
freight are gone and The Alaska Railroad is
fully prepared to serve as the backbone of
western Alaska's economy.
Train schedules were stepped up recently and
additional trains added from our big fleet of
new and modern rolling slock. Twelve hours
was cut from the schedule between Anchorage
and Fairbanks. Two trains leave Seward each
day. A night train is handling unprecedented
freight movements from Whittier.
Yes. at every phase of the freight operation.
The Alaska Railroad has streamlined. It has
eliminated for good the old story of backlogs
at shipping ports. Freight is passing quickly
through port facilities at Anchorage, Whittier
and Seward.
Streamlining means real service.
