ARMY A|R SQUADRON
 WILL B[ STATIONED
 AT FAIRBANKS FIELD

"It would. appear that we will be in Seward for some days to come" said Lieutenant Eileson, Alaska Ace, who with Captain Wilkins, Arctic explorer, is again in the city enroute to Point Barrow, "so inasmuch as capt. Wilkins has talked this week before you why not permit me to address you next week." However the lieutenant then began to tell something about what he has been doing since last he was in the city, about six months ago.
 He. has spent considerable time in most of the states looking over the aviation situation and in this respect informed the members the outstand- ing accomplishment the past year, as everyone might know, was the epoch making flight of Colonel Charles A. Linbergh across the Atlantic, and of Colonel Lindbergh's personal attri- butes since that memorable flight.
 Where few were interested in avfa- tion before Lindbergh's famous hop everyone now is interested in natur- ally aviation in the States has gone forward by leaps and bounds.
 1 Students fill aviation schools every where, he said, and in Portland, where he spent sometime, the three or five aviation schools there were crammed to capacity by students eager to make aviation their life work
 The greatest thing of interest to Alaska, Eileson stated, is the fact the ffve-year program of the Army Air Service, calls for squadron of planes l in Alaska. This will be composed of a composite group, and undoubtedly the l base will be at Fairbanks owing to the more desirable landing field there. He pointed out that the landing field is just about the most important thing in connection with a squadron sta toned in Alaska for the minimum of damaging planes costing $30,OO0 or $50 ,00O, would be cut down to nill Planes must have ample field room and the Fairbanks fAld has that.
 Lieutenant Eileson added that Gen. eral Mitchell had advocated, eight or nine years ago, the United States should do something regarding aviat- ion in Alaska and had stated the near est route from the United States to the Orient was across Alaska; planes would be flying across land practically all the way and weather conditions were excellent.
 He then went on to relate the time at Washington, D. C., he was called upon to assist in defending Alaska against various verbal attacks one of which that the average mean temper ature of Alaska was 60 below zero, and numerous other ridiculous charges of 1 like calibre. Statistics compiled and procured from the U S. Weather Bur- eau at Washington, showed that in- stead of the Fairbanks region temper ature being around SO below zero, averaged for that year, one above zero.
 In concluding his interesting ad- dress, the veteran pioneer of Alaska aviation said, the Army has been asso- ciated with Alaska since the very be- ginning so why not continue this in
