Vesterday 17 adults and 5
children left Homer by plane for
the outside. The fare was around
one hundred dollars, somewhat less.
than the pre-strike steamship rate.
They will fly the 1600 miles
in eight hours or less as against
the steamship time of 8 to 14 days.
They won't have to worry about
strikes enroute, nor the tipping
of waiters each meal.
If the planes could approx
imate the freight nates of the
boats as they have the hassenger
fares we would be independent of
ships that ply the waterways.
Even now if the planes could
get sufficient return cargo, they
might take over our freight. mail
and passenger cargo going to the
states might turn the trick and
the low fares that are being off
ered to the passenger business
is making considerable volume.
For sale; Good wholesome Guernsey
milk. Fortify your body against
the colds of winter.
