plural-"The Flying Ordways.'
 Young Dick Ordway flew from Chicago to Seattle and then took steamer passage for Juneau to join his father here, who immediately broke him into the manner of things in the ways of the roaming Ordway photographing family by taking him on a seven week trip through h. terior Alaska and Yukon Territory.
 Now, shortly-in the time sense as we know it in Alaska-after Rich ard Ordway has had time to catch his breath and look around Juneau, he finds himself with 5000 miles of air travel behind him. To top the wings angle of the subject, Dick had his first flying lessons in Fairbanks from Bill Lavery while on the re- cent trip.
 Not only did Dick Ordway get in the actual flying, but he saw great many things new to him as well. Travelling with his father over the White Pass and Yukon Route, down the Yukon River, into Mckinley Ma tional Park, to Flat, back to Fair banks, and finally by plane back to Juneau, Dick helped his father take 4500 feet of natural color movies and 2O00 stills, one of the latter of which, was a picture of a grizzly bear at twenty feet.
 And speaking of bear for thrills, a large grizzly she-bear marched calmly by an open window in a Mount Mckinley cabin. within arms length of where Richard was lying tongue-tied with engagement. The same bear broke into the cabin the next day and smashed the bed on which young Ordway had been sleeping.
 That is, perhaps, the story of Richard Ordway. who came to Ju- neau only recently from Chicago and how he became an Alaskan overnight.
