1961-62 Outline of
Winter Events
The Alaskan tourist has a
choice of half a dozen winter fes
tivals—including the Anchorage
Fu.r Rendezvous, the Anchor
Point Sno Festival, the Cordova
Ice Worm Festival, the Dilling
ham Beaver Roundup, the Fair
banks Winter Carnival, and the
Homer Winter Carnival — all of
which combine to make Alaska
one of the “celebratingest” states
in the Union.
Not surprisingly it’s also the
“racingest” w'ith dog mushing
races and pulling contests sched
uled at most of the festivals plus
Kenai, Kotzebue, Nome, Tok, and
other points during various week
ends and holidays.
Biggest winter sport in t h e
Northland, of course, is skiing.
Slopes as far north as F a i r -
banks, and even the Arctic Circ
le, and as far south as Juneau
boast a hard-to-beat combination
of fine powder snowr and low al
titudes. The largest concentra
tion of ski activity centers a
round Anchorage and the Kenai
Peninsula.
Alaska is an easy state to visit.
Four airlines offer daily service
to various points in the 49th
State. And the Alaska Highway
is maintained on an all year bas
is both in Canada and in Alaska.

ter sports in Alaska, write to the
Alaska Division of Tourism, Ju

FAA Initiates
Blue Seal Program
For Alaska Pilots
Alaskan private and commer
cial pilots who have enough in
strument flying skill to get them
selves out of potentially danger
ous weather situations will soon
be sporting a “Blue Seal” on their
pilot’s certificates.
Beginning Oct. 1, Federal Avi
ation Agency safety inspectors
at Fairbanks, Juneau and Aneh
oroge began issuing the new cer
tificates, according to Melvin
Derry, supervising inspector for
general aviation for flight stan
dards district office in Anchor
age.
The Blue Seal program is na
tion - wide and all private and
commercial pilots who have re
ceived certificates since May I960
automatically become eligible. Pi
lots who obtained licenses prior
to that time may acquire the Blue
Seal by submitting log books and
documents showing eligibility,
and successfully completing a
minimum flight test limited to
present instrument requirements
for a private or commercial li
cense.
Aircraft Owners and Pilots As
sociation plans to offer pilots a
360 Degree Instrument Rating
Course which F99 will recognize
as qualifying graduates for the
Blue Seal. The course was de
veloped by the AOPA founda
tion and can be given by any
flight school or qualified flight
and ground instructor. A sylla
bus for use by instructors is now
available free from AOPA.
Blue Seal certificates may be
obtained from FAA inspectors at
Arctic Airways hangar at Fair
banks International Airport, the
terminal building at Juneau
Municipal International Airport,
or the Safeway Airway hangars,
Merrill Field, Anchorage.
John R. Hakala, refuge manag
er of the Kenai National Moose
Range, estimates there are 8,000
moose in the entiie Kenai Penin
sula in 1961 with 6,500 of them
within the boundaries of the
Moose Range.
EMERGENCY REGULATION
CORRECTS OVERSIGHT IN
GAME REGULATIONS
The Alaska Department of Fish
and Game has released an em
ergency regulation t o include
Game Management Unit 16, west
of Anchorage, in the “Area E”
antlerless moose hunt. Unit 16
was included in Area E by the
Alaska Board of Fish and Game
at its regular fall meeting in Ko
diak last year, but was inadvert
enly omitted from the published
and filed Game Regulations.
With the change, the descrip
tion of Area E—which is open
to permit-only antlerless moose
hunting between Dec. 6 and 18—
now reads:
“That portion of Unit 14 north
of a line drawn from the con
fluence of the Susitna and Kash
witna Rivers along the west
boundary of Unit 14, easterly a
long the Kashwitna River to its
headwaters and continuing east
erly along the Granite Creek
Kings River-Chickaloon River -
Talkeetna River divide to the
east boundary line of Unit 14,
and Unit 16.
This area is unique among the
antlerless moose permit-only
hunting areas which will be op
en in December in that permits
will be issued to all applicants.
Tire hunt is being handled on a
permit basis to enable Depart
ment biologists to obtain much
needed information about moose
populations in the area affected.
Elmer Nor berg, Regional Game
Management Biologist in charge
of South Central Alaska, pointed
out that one requirement of a
permit hunt is that successful
hunters bring the lower jaws of
animals taken; the jaws, he said
are used to determine the age
distribution of the kill, an im
portant indicator of herd con
dition and population trends.

tion held at Kenai on Sept. 16
