Still Bound
For Land
‘Down Under’
The adventuresome Marion I.
Hergatt family, formerly of
North Kenai, evidently has not
Riven up plans to reach Australia
via fishing boat. Mr. and Mrs.
Hergatt and children left Kenai
i several months ago and safely
reached California before being
delayed. The family has since
been increased by the birth of
another child.
Hergatt took time out to make
heeded repairs on his sea-going
vessel and to earn necessary
funds for the added expenses. He
formerly operated the North Ke
nai Garage, was a member of the
Peninsula Sportsmen’s Assoc, and
was an enthusiastic skier. In Au
stralia, the family hopes to take
part In that country’s colonization
program to open up more land for
settlement.
A letter, postmarked Jan. 1ft
at San Diego, advises Peninsula
friends of the Hergatts* plans for
the future. A portion of Hergatt’s
letter follows:
“I promised to write to you at
times, so here I am. We are just
about ready to leave San Diego
for the South. Will paint the bot
tom and leave Tuesday morning.
The kids and I are taking the
boat alone. The wife is staying
with the baby here in San Diego.
“We’ve met a lot of nice people
since we left Kenai. We’ve had
good- experiences and some close
calls and rough weather, but are
in the best of health and in good
spirits. The kids are anxious to
leave.
“We fished the boat early last
spring for albacore then I went to
work for Caterpillar diesel com
pany here. 1 quit two weeks ago
to get the boat ready to leave.
We have a schooner motor-sailer
rig and it’s quite unique here
for most of these people never
saw a northern troller before . . .
“Tell everybody in Kenai we
said ‘hello’ and sure miss all our
old friends. I think we miss ski
ing most of all the things we used
to do.”

cond consecutive year of more

T&See Alaska
Reactions of viewers of the
much publicized Brinkley Report
concerning Alaska continue to
reach relatives and friends living
in the 50th State. The program,
which aroused much controversy
among Alaskans who say it mis
represented conditions within the
state, was seen and heard by
thousands throughout the nation
with the exception of Alaska on
Jan. 7 and finally reached Alaska
by radio and television two weeks
later.
Art Hawk, work unit conserva
tionist with the Soil Conservation
Service stationed at Homer, re
received a letter recently from
his mother in Tioga Center,
N.Y., after she had watched the
program. An excerpt from her
letter reads:
“The N.B.C. television has a
Brinkley’s Journal Report every
Monday night from New York. A
few weeks ago his subject
was Alaska. He showed many pic
tures as well as descriptions of
the conditions of our 50th State.
“We were amazed as well as
distressed to realize the poverty
and some of the great difficulties
of Alaska. The lack of employ
ment and the very high cost of
reaping the good from the earth
was appalling. A picture of the
main street in Anchorage was
shown so now I do have an idea
of what it is like in Alaska. I’m
sure now my traveling desires
are curbed to the 49 states ONLY.
“We have- wondered and cer
tainly have been hoping that you
are able to keep warm in your
home. A minus 50 degrees has
been given for Anchorage during
the past 10 days.”
The above paragraphs compose
a word for word excerpt taken
from his mother’s letter, Hawk
says.
“It is interesting to note that
my mother and father drove ex
tensively* in the west (from New
York state) in 1925-28, when con
ditions there were very primitive.
They made the trip in a 1925 Veli

The Post Office Department
during 1962 operated a total of
245 facilities in Alaska, according
to the annual report of the post
master general. Of these, six were
first class post offices, 18 were
second class post offices, 49 were
third class, and 147 were fourth
class. Other postal facilities in
cluded in the total were seven
classified branches, three classi

branches, five contract stations,
and eight rural stations.

member many snapshots of the

holes and across river fords by
mule teams.”
“They drove with mv brother
to Montana in 1957 to visit us
when we were with the Indian
Service — Blackfeet Agency. So
you see,” the local soil conserva
tion technician continued, “they
are not altogether new to travel
in new country. It is a surprise
to me that this television show
should cause them to fear a trip
to Alaska.”
