Eclipse ef Sun
Seen as Boost
To State Traffic
Alaskans, who see 1063 as an
especially big year for Alaska
travel because of the new ferry
v.essels of the “marine highway”
system, now see a boost to the
season for another reason.
This attraction — the sun’s
July 20th eclipse — is of short
duration, but several hundred ad
ditional visitors are expected be
cause of it.
With a totality lasting 82’4 se
conds, the eclipse will be of longer
duration at the town of Talkeet
na, Alaska than at any other
place in the United States. Lo
cated about 75 air miles from An
chorage, Talkeetna is almost ex
actly on the central line of the
eclipse. There, the eclipse will oc
cur at 10:02 a.m., Alaska Standard
Time.
Of the several inns and hotels
in Talkeetna, at least one is al
ready fully booked — including a
party from Norway. But inquir
ies about the eclipse have come
in such numbers that the Alaska
Railroad plans a special train for
Anchorage-based visitors to Tal
keetna on July 20th. It will, of
course, deliver passengers to Tal
keetna well in advance of the so
lar “blackout.”
Will Continue

Area Chapter of the Alaska Crip
pled Children’s Assoc, until fall

the summer months under direc
tion of Miss Margaret Hamilton,

Anyone wishing information
about the therapy program or any
other services of the ACCA may

area coordinator; Mrs. Jack Mc
