Value of Reports Shown

When the Fairbanks fligh. re ports are received at San Francis co and Washington they are stud'cd and compared with similar reports received from points in Canada s' | the Continental United States In this manner the air masses which constantly move from one part of the world to another may be followed. The cold waves which move down from Alaska and on across the plans of Canada may be discovered and mapped several days before they reach the thiekly settled regions of the States The airplane aas made the air mass study possible as it pro- vides an ideal method for exploring the upper air. The movements of the great air masses are mapped from observations assembled from twen- ty five specially equippa1 stations where planes are sent aiofe to IT, O00 feet each day. These repcrta are supplemented by surface obser- vations taken twice daily t2 a m. and p. m. Fairbanks time) at about three hundred stations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the West Indies and Alaska as well as from ships at sea. It is thought that a study of this information will tend to improve the accuracy of and perhaps extend the range of our forecasts. By this new system we may eventually be enabled to fore cast with some degree of accuracy the weather that will occur several days in the future.

Continuous Record

The aero-meteOrograph on the wing of the plane makes coutin. uous record of temperature, humid ity and air pressure. The record for each flight is worhed up on all ai- laDuIie chart a',n from this the max imum altitude of the plane can De determined as well as the altitude of the clouds. The record IS exam ined for significant elevations which include sudden changes in temper ature or humidity, icing conditions, turbulent or bumpy air or ill fact any unusual conditions. The alti- tude, temperature, humidity. yapor, air pressure, specific humidity and potential temperature at each signi- ficant level is calculated. A coded report containing all this lnlorma- ton for each flight is telegrap phed to Washington and San Francisco.

be adopted. Recently the Norweg- ians developed a new system of fore casting based on air mass analysis and investigations have proven this system to be superior to our old method. The air mass analysis is simply a method of tracking air masses and includes the use Of me neurological data taken at high al dtudes. The old style weather maps show only the weather and at mospheric conditions that prevail at the earth's surface while the new system includes records from the air aloft, thereby providing third-dim- ensional data to help round out the whole picture from which the fore caster makes his deductions about the weather ahead.

INVENTORY TIME AT HAND
(Fairbanks News-Miner)

Christmas over, the thing now is to square away for the New Year.
 Every methodical and successful business concern and individual will not overlook the annual inventory and its close kin-the budget.
 Only the slip-shod and careless neglect to know where they stand nancially-especially at the begin ming Of the year. And now Uncle Sam insists that all make an ac- counting or he will know the reason why.
 Not only Old Man Income Tax is camping on the trail of all, but now comes also MT. Social Security. He also msut be recokned with by the tlrst of the year. And everyone Is due to file those Social Security re- cords immediately. In fact the re- turns are overdue and should be in the postoffice now.
 Along with the making of the annual inventory of stocks and what have you, and the budget and Social Income returns now looms up the legislative programs of the nation and the Territory.
 Congressional committees will be busy in Washington this week prep aratory to the opening of Congress. Matters of great economic import ance are being considered in na- tional budget making. Alaska is vi tally concerned because of her many prospective major projects. Legis- lators are headed for the national capital preparatory to the opening session.
 In Juneau, on a smaller scale, but in scarcely less important degree to the people of Alaska, scenes sim

liar to those in Washington are be- ing enacted preparatory to the op- ening of the biennial legislative session.
 Alaskan communities awake to their interests will now get their recommendations before the na- tional and legislative sessions. Fair banks in particular should be on the qui yive-in the interest of herself and her vast tributary area.
 The time is at hand for all to put their house in order. Clear the decks of remnants of the last years fray, cast up your estimates and get ready for a big, well-ordered drive for 1937-the year of greatest promise in history for the nation and Alaska.

Compared to Ocean

The atmosphere is like huge ocean with cold currents coming down from the north and warm, l,- mid current flowing in from the Boring Sea or the Pacific Oc,af. The currents are like great rivers or like the Japanese Current and the Gulf Stream in the atmosphere They follow more or less well de- fined but continually varying paths over the country. Storms and quick changes of temperature occur where they meet. A careful study of this new air mass analysis" syst-m in the States has demonstrated an in- proved accuracy in forecasting he weather.

OUR TIME TO HOWL
(Cordova Times

Every commercial organization every fraternal body, and in fact every individual or group of indi- Yiduals should lose no time in fall ing into line with the movement initiated yesterday by the ketch- ikan IgIoo of Pioneers in demand ing regular and adequate ship service to Alaska. regardless of a strike.
 The two big jokes sailing under tue gulse of renet ships have not IeIleYed the Alaskan situation at al. The whole matter of relief was mlsmanaged from the start, not will tully, perhaps, but horribly bungled nevertheless and unless we Alas Aans can start something to get regular snip service under compeJ- eut and efficient heads, the same atrocities are going to be commit ted against us again.
 We should have learned by thIs time, however, that We cannot wait until the last minute before
 
 a relet ship were to leave Seattle tomorrow morning, it would arrive here none too soon to avert an other food shortage.
 The time to act Is NOW. And the action to be pursued this time Is not tor the sO-caIed relie1 snIp put as the ketcnlkan Pioneers pointed out, Adequate transporta- elon through regular commercial shipping agencies In other words we want the only commercial con tact We have with the United States restored, if not entirely, at least in part, Immediately.
 Let us lombard the President himself with teIegrams and petI- tons and let the bombardment Aeep up until something happens.
 Ot labor unions dominated by politically minded bosses we have nad our fill. Of operators standing ln the way ot settlements we are ss4so sick and tired. Let Us up here h Alaska be the first to come out and publicly say So by continuous and concentrated demands for the return of our ships without which We cannot hold out much longer.
 It Is by all means our time to Ho"I. We hereby elect the Ketch- kan Pioneers our cheerIeaders. Let Us get behind them in one mighty, thunderous protest, so vigorous that 1t shakes the already unsteady throne of Harry Bridges, reyer- Drates through the offices Of mighty snlpplng men, and makes the Pres 4uent himself cup hand to ear and listen to the wrath of a people wno have suffered all the injustice eHey can stand.

lOfficial in Charge, Fairbanks
 Weather Bureau)
By R.L Frost

Yesterday marked the end of the Jhlrd month of the airpIane wea- lner uignts being made at Fair banks. During thIs time Pilot Bert Lem has made total of 13O of these flights. Al dawn and again at uusk each day the pilot dous hls luruned .rompers5 pulls the tire pot from under the motor, climbs into the cockpit Of the big Pilgrlm plane and takes of for some lndet. Iulte point up in the sky some It, UUU IeeL over Fairbanks.
 Most planes leaving N Weeks Field carry IuII loads Of passengers or freight but the weather snip lies empty. The only load carried Is full tanks of gasoline and a small instru- ment weighing about tour pounIs attached to a wing-strut. The flight usually requires about one and que half hours and the time is spent n clrcling over town within radius of about twenty miles. Although the pilot flies about three hours each day he goes nowhere, he carries no load, yet making weather flights is perhaps the most strenuous kInu of living. The twice daily flights to an altitude of 1000 feet is very trying work.

times, if constitutional work is a de-
pendable sign. Many houses, filling
stations, bridges, roads, and other
such utilities were being constructed
as well as old ones reconstructed.
The country in general, is becom-
ing very desirable for home seekers
or tourist; practically all homes in
cities and towns are very lovely from
exterior views. From interior views
they are modern, well arranged, we'll
equipped; with all the later devices
of convenience that man is capable
of devising, making them palaces.
The poorer ones are no doubt finer
by far than kings or princes palaces
were a century ago; containing many
worthwhile things that kings have
seldom dreamed of in, the past
radios for example.
The highways are commendable too,
no matter where one goes, (unless on
deserts or other forsaken places) he
can go quickly, easily, and comfort
ably in his car; on the finest net
work of hard roads producable at
present. It has taken labor and mon
ey to build them; their value may
be unreasonable in dollars, for they
are worth much to us, and may be
during the centuries to come.
Signs were also noticeable along
the roadside; some were a bit mis-
leading taken from the English ex-
pressed, rather than from their real
meanings. AS we entered a town one
sign read: If You Lived Here You
Would Be Home Now. That witty
information taken in its broadened as
poets could mean several things. 1t
could mean that if you lived there
you would be at home-not travelling,
or it could mean what it probably did,
if you lived there you would be at
home-no farther to go.

This Spring Fashion Festival was
the largest affair Of it's kind ever
produced on the Eastern Shore. More
than thirty people appeared on the
stage during the production and in
cluded on the program were several
dance numbers by Miss Martha
Bounds. The music for each showing
was provided by Vic Vickers and his
orchestra.
