Fairbanks Youths
Hike 52 Miles
In 17 Hours
FAIRBANKS UP> — “Who says
today’s kids aren’t fit?” local news
men are wondering after they suc
cumbed to the 50-mile hike craze
yesterday.
None of the newsmen made the
entire 50 miles but five teenage
boys unceremoniously joined the
group and strode almost 52 miles
between 6 a.m. and 11 pjn. An
other boy quit when he “wore
out” after walking 43 miles.
Not to be outdone, Carla Sulli
van, 17-year-old high school senior,
and Lorna Griffin, 29-year-old
Fairbanks Police Department meter
maid, successfully represented “the
weaker sex” and went the whole
distance.
The boys who made it without
fanfare are: George Cooper 16; Ker
ry “Butch” Curtis 16, Jim Aldrich
. 15, and Raymond Evans 15, and
Tom Harris 15.
Yesterday’s walk marked the
northernmost hike during the cur
rent fad which swept the nation
after President Kennedy dug up
an order President Teddy Roose
velt had issued the Marine Corps.
The Fairbanks marchers started
in one degree below zero. During
the day the temperature climbed
to zero and by evening the mercury
hovered around zero.
The route was 26 miles down the
snow and ice-encrusted Richardson
Highway to Eielson Air Force base
and return.
It all started after Jim Birch off,
a television commentator chal
lenged representatives of other
news media to a walkathon on
behalf of charity. Residents bet
on their favorites and some $900
has been netted for the Alaska
Crippled Children’s Assn.
Miss Sullivan, who edits the
Daily News Miner’s school page,
was the only news media repre
sentative to make the round trip.
Dave Galloway, 35, News-Miner
editor, shuffled to a stop at North
Pole, after 15 miles. Judy Irick,
News-Miner reporter, made it to
within one mile of the air base
gate.
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Moses have
moved to Solomon where they are
caretakers for the Lee Dredging
camp. Mrs. Moses stated that they
are the only residents in Solomon
this winter.

“See Us for Sightseeing”
(JAB Renews
Opposition to
Route Transfer
WASHINGTON UP) — The Bureau
of Economic Regulation of the Civil
Aeronautics Board renewed Fri
day its opposition to the transfer
of Pan American World Airways’
Juneau-Fairbanks route to Wien
Alaska Airlines.
Bureau counsel John Lindsey
said the CAB examiner in the route
transfer proceeding erred in ac
cepting Wien’s “unsupported” traf
fic and cost forecasts rather than
the bureau’s more realistic esti
mates.
Lindsey noted in a brief that the
CAB last March started an investi
gation into the possible reduction
of air mail subsidy costs in Alaska,
in a proceeding on air service be
tween the Pacific Northwest and
Alaska.
He asked the board to consider:
1. A hypothetical newspaper
headline in 1962 saying that the
CAB was seeking means of re
ducing subsidy outlay in Alaska.
2. A hypothetical news head
line in 1963 that a CAB decision
would increase the annual Alaskan
subsidy outlay by $182,000.
Lindsey said this well might
happen if the CAB should approve
the transfer of the Juneau-Fair
banks route from a non-subsidized
trunk airline to a subsidized local
service airline. He noted that Wien
itself had said it did not want
the route if no subsidy were to be
granted for it.

this means: “Anchors A weigh!

Red-Faccd Firemen
POCKLINGTON, England Ufi -
The face of Pocklington’s Volun
tcer Firemen were as red as a fir<
truck Saturday. They nearly le:
the firehouse burn down.
When police were told the build
ing was ablaze, they tried to
sound the siren to summon the
firemen. It didn’t work.
They tried to ring the alarm
bells in the firemen’s homes. They
didn’t work either. The blaze had
put the alarm system out of action.
Messengers were dispatched to
round up the firemen, while post
master Ron Harvey and a couple
of bystanders went to work on the
blaze.
Soon some firemen arrived and
put out the flames, but by then
the building was half destroyed.
Doesn’t Like the Cold
KANSAS CITY, Kan. <#> — Jerry
Havenhill eats breakfast with a
black box at his elbow. It has
switches and signal lights. He
flips a switch. It starts the engine
of his car, parked outside.
Another switch starts the engine
of his wife’s car.
A few minutes later, Havenhill,
24, flips two more switches and
the car heaters go on.
“I didn’t like sitting out in the
cold and waiting for the engine
to warm up and then waiting for
the heater to produce heat,” Haven
hill explains, ‘‘so I went to work
on this system several months ago.”
He is an engineer at an elec
tronics plant.
THE COLD WAS TOO MUCH !
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N.J.
l/F — The two machines were sup
posed to control the ice, but the
ice won out and the machines went
to the bottom of this resort com
munity’s yacht harbor.
Undaunted, city officials were
busy Friday installing new ap
paratus similar to the old to check
ice formation in the harbor.
The old machines consisted of
water-circulating mechanisms de
signed to keep the harbor ice-free
by drawing warm water from the
harbor bottom toward the surface.
But last week’s cold spurt was
too much and both machines froze
up and sank.
