ALAsKA's PLACE ON WORLD ROUTE

Delegate Dimond, speaking in Fairbanks yester- day predicted that within five years around air lines will be reality. He made the forecast in urging better airport facilities in the north to meet the march of aerial progress
 There remains little doubt that Alaska is going to play an important part in the forthcoming globe grdng routes. It is generally accepted that the next step for Pan American which is now inaugurat- ing the SeattleJuneau service will be up the coast to Nome and thence the Boring Sea to Siberia and down Asia and Europe The forerunner may be over the now established route to Fairbanks and then to Nome, but the time is coming when a regularly scheduled route up the Alaska coast to the Arctic will be blazed too in perfectng the roundthe world link
 As the Delegate stressed, adequate air fields will have to be built to meet that aerial advance Not only must there be large facilities at some of the major points, but there will be need for further improving and enlarging fields all over the Territory feeder lines established to be connected with the major routes.
 Sometimes this march of progress may appear as dream of the distant future. But it is coming much sooner than many of suspect. AS Delegate Dimond predicted, it may be established fact within five years.

construction next after the completion of McChorc Field at Tacoma which has been described as the first" of several bases which will be built the coast in its defense program With the progress the Navy is making in establishing bases in Alaska, the defense program, naturally enough, will have to be correlated with Army preparations and this appar enty is what is attempting to be done at this time.
 Going south again the officials announced that they will follow the proposed route of the Interna- tional Highway This too is significant to the Alaska program. The highway is of the major parts of the program Its construction will aid both defense and development
 This recognition of Alaska has been long time coming but the visit of these and other high ment officials here this gives indication that the time has arrived

 Demand for skilled workers will be general in preparation for great manufacturing projects. Labor is under promising signs today.
 Although the seers watch war clouds as they gather and disperse, they warn that the first peril in the United States is that of revolution
 Astrologers declare graphically that what has been a blessing is to become a curse among the Am erican people, who have failed to realize that relief does not solve the unemployment problem.
 This is a day to enjoy whatever is recreational, a time to throw away care and to forget troubles of every sort. The wise will live for each day, making the best of whatever brings joy and surcease of anxiety.
 Whatever is constructive should be pushed with speed. The stars en- courage building in all lines and presage great achievements in the production of airplanes and battle ships

NEW HOPE FOR ALASKA PROGRAM

New impetus was gwen defense and develop ment program for Alaska yesterday with the arrival here of the Colonels Johnson and Johnson by army plane from Seattle enroute to Fairbanks The widely heralded official team are Col Louis Johnson, Asss- tant Secretary of War and Col. J. Monroe Johnson, Assistant Secretary of Commerce.
 The Assistant Secretary of War he explained here, is primarily interested in the establishment of an army air base in the Interior probably at Fairbanks. The Assistant Secretary of Commerce is looking to the furhering of civil aviation Both will cruise the proposed International Highway route their return to the States.
 Their joint purposes fit neatly into the general Alaska plan of development and defense
 The Territory's two major barriers to advance through the years been transportation and communication. Gradually these barriers being removed Civil aviation is charting the with the expansion of lines and significantly now, with the beginning of the service between the States and Alaska which is following in the wake of aviation progress which already has been made within the Ter rory particularly scheduled flights between Juneau and the Interior To meet this progress, communi- cation has had to be improved to facilitate air travel New radio communication stations are being estab- Ished to provide further weather data
 But there is need for much more development of this nature There is a crying need for ade- quate arports Pan American is up against the prob lem right with it's service from the States Off- eias of the company their first test flight here said something would have to be done to improve landing facilities both at Ketchikan and Juneau before the larger equipment they ultimately hope to can be put in service
 An Army air base for the north was provided for in the Wilcox bill two years ago but progress has been slow. The visit of the Assistant Secretary of War for the avowed purpose of looking over the Fairbanks gives indication that it may not be far off now Surely it should be in line for

RED CROSS PLANS
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Mrs. Edith Ladd to Send GO Packages to Ameri-
 cans in Foreign Ports

Christmas Is comingl At least, the local Red Cross unit seems to think so. Sometime this week MT. Edith Ladd. head of the Waterbury Red Cross. expects to send off 60 Christ mas packages for the American soldiers and sailors in hospitals in foreign ports. The gifts will be sent to Brooklyn, N. Y. and will leave from there as soon as possible, in order to arrive in foreign ports in plenty of time for Christmas.
 The Red Cross has been sending out gifts of this kind year after year. and many letters have been received at the local headquarters, expressing the appreciation which the recipients feel. Some of those who receive these gifts at Christmas time might not receive anything, otherwise, as gifts from their own families often miss the boat. For that reason, the Red Cross sends out its packages a long time in advance.
 Each of the 60 packages which will go out from the local station con- tains a book tgenerally a detective story), & diary, sewing kit. pack Of cards, and pocket comb and nall file. And the letters of apprecia~ ton received every year by the Red Cross testify to the happiness which these gifts bring to the men in the hospitals at Christmas time.

 When the jack dropped, Kunkel led a low diamond. West won and clared the clubs, dummy winning with the ace. The now marked finesse against the diamond ten was tawen, and three diamonds, two clubs, two hearts and two spades gave Kunkel the contract for what proved to be an absolute top.
