Alaska Airlines
Will Contribute to
i Promote Rampart
FAIRBANKS W — Alaska Air
! lines will contribute $18,000 to pro
mote Rampart Dam, it was an
nounced here yesterday.
The contribution from the air
line will be in the form of a char
tered flight of 100 persons from
Alaska to Washington, D. C.,
Charles F. Willis, Jr., president of
the company, said.
“There will be a strategic point
in time where personal contact and
salesmanship in Washington be
comes a necessary ingredient to in
sure the success of these efforts,"
he said.
"We feel that a plane load of
Alaskans converging on Washing
ton, D.C.. to sell the Yukon power
story, much as was done on the
statehood effort, will help achieve
the ultimate goal.”
[ In my judgment, he continued,
“the Rampart Dam project is sec
ond in importance only to the U S.
purchase of Alaska from Russia.
The ultimate in this project is the
building of the greatest of all
power developments.”
It is proposed to build the dam
on the Yukon River near Fair
banks. An organization, Yukon
Power for America, Inc., has been
formed to promote the project and
is soliciting contributions to fi
nance its efforts.
A hillbilly grandfather was la
boriously writing a letter.
“Lucifer,” he said, “how do you
spell ‘rat’?” ,
“Thats easy, grandpaw,” replied
Lucifer. “R-A-T.”
“Naw, I don’t mean mousey
rat. I mean rat now!”
