Mrs. John Swanson, Mrs.

sages.
Prizes for the mad hat con

Lt. Gerald Sieler as follows:
Mrs. Jerry Cuvelier for the fun

Mrs. Marvin Lewis. Mrs. Fran
ces Dimientieff is from Holy

Fishermen's Spec.
Rolls North Again
It may come as something of
a shock to that small but un
convinced minority who per
sists in thinking of Alaska as a
land of perpetual ice and snow,
but The Alaska Railroad has
deemed it advisable—in the in
terests of greater comfort—to
“cool off” its Scenic AuRoRa.
The Scenic AuRoRa—better
known as the Fisherman’s Spe
cial because of the superlative
fishing at such sportsmen’s
stops as Willow Creek, Goose
Creek, Little Susitna, Montana
Creek, and Nancy Lake—began
daily summertime service May
26 fully air-conditioned for the
first time in its history.
The railroad, owned by the
federal government, operates
from Seward and Anchorage to
Fairbanks via Mt. McKinley
Park. For fully one-third of
the distance between the ter
minals Mt. McKinley—highest
peak in North America—is vis
ible.

j PNA Buys Jets |
The purchase by Pacific
Northern Airlines of two Boe
ing 720 jet airplanes was an
nounced recently by A. G.
Woodley, president and general
manager of the airlines. The
announcement was made as Pa
cific Northern commenced its
30th year of Alaska service.
This purchase represents an
investment of $12,000,000, in
cluding aircraft and spares.
Delivery and inauguration of
service between the Pacific
Northwest and Alaska points
served by the company, is
scheduled for spring of 1962.
The PNA 720's will have a
seating capacity of 120 passen
gers, and will include tourist
and first-class accommodations.
The 600-mile-an-hour jets will
be powered with Pratt & Whit
ney turbo jet engines.
“The Boeing 720 jets w’ere
selected after more than a year
of intensive evaluation studies
of various jet aircraft.
“Further, we consider the
Boeing 720 to be ideally suited
for providing the type of serv
ice required on our Alaska
routes,” Woodley added.
