But aside from weather conditions and the fact

general belief is that the purpose of establishing air
mail to Alaska is to aid Alaska business. There is
the fundamental ingredient To aid Alaska business
That is on the Pacific Coast How much business
does Alaska do with Edmonton, Great Falls and Spo-
kane? Even the Postoffice Department doubtless
knows that it is virtually nil Then, it follows that
if the Canadian route was established, it would
be necessary order for the bulk of Alaska business
to use the service, to send the incoming mail back
across the country from Seattle, Tacoma, Portland,
San Francisco and other coast cities to Great Falls
bring it up across Canada to Whitehorse and then
re-distribute it over the Territory.
There probably would be value to an in
side" route but for general service to Alaska, the
Canadian scheme is worthless as compared with a
coastal air mail route We hope the Postoffice De-
part1nent isn't overlooking the fact that it is trying
to serve Alaska and not Canada.

Rocky Mountain States and central Canada are push
ing their efforts to get an mail route established
between Great Falls Mont. and Alaska via Edmonton
Appeal is being made to American and Canadian au-
thortes in the hopes that the line be obtained
in preference to one up the coast from Seattle to
Juneau
OF course, one can't blame the chambers of COM

places effected trying get what they 1t is
But it is up to Postmaster James A. Farley and his
Posoffce Department which after all, have the last
word on the handling of mall to give consideration
to a service which will result in the greatest benefit
to the largest number.
The Postoffice Department only has to look in its
records to discover, if it hasn't already done SO,
that the majority of the business mail to Alaska
own business from Washington direct to Juneau
because here is where its agencies have headquarters
and naturally it via Seattle.
1t is assumed that the Postoffice Department in
establishing air mail to Alaska wants to many

the morning to adults at of the pools under its control
is welcome in these hot days.
1t directs thought to the fact that many of these pools
admit children free of charge during limited hours of the
morning.
The Times has always felt that all these pools built
public property with public funds should be open the chill
dren at all times without payment of any fee.
There has recent years been tendency the part of
the Association to extend its hours for free swimming
children.
We wish they would and could go all the way
ten fifteen cent fee that many of the children
who need safe swim the most cannot get into the pools at
the hottest time of the day
These the youngsters who would enjoy swim and who
really need it break in hot days monotony.

We hope they will be able to whatever obstruc
tons there to this humanitarian policy.
