ing and development period. He has been prominent in Alaska flying for years and helped es- tablish Alaska AirWays, in which he was associated with Ben Eiel- son, who has been termed the father of Alaskan aviation. !" This organization was a subsi- diary of American AirWays be- fore it was purchased by Pan American in 1882.
 Treasurer of the new corpora ton is Noel Wen, who, in terms of flying experience, is the oldest operating pilot in Alaska. Wien has flown in Alaska almost con- tinuously, since 1924, and was the organizer of Wien Alaska Air lines, Inc, which he opeated from Fairbanks to all parts of the Ter ritory until his recent association with Northwest Air Service.

Pilots in Alaska in the days when there were no aids to air navigation, and airrnen flew "by the seat of their pan:s"-both Wien and Crosson have flown throughout the Arctic, from Ana dyr to Barrow 10 Aklavik. With a combined total of 38 years of ex- perience in the development Of all phases of commercial aviation, from it's infancy no the present day scheduled operations. these men have acquired . wealth of first-hand knowledge as 10 the type of repair service commercial and private operators require. Their personal experience as pi- lots, as well as airline owners, make CrosSon and Wien well qualified to furnish the supply and service needs of operators.
 Northwest Air Service, Inc, is one of the oldest Civil Aeronau- tics Authority approved repair stations in the United States. It's present scope of activities will be expanded by further develop ment of sales and service of air craft parts and equipment in Alaska, with a branch at Fair banks, under the active manage ment of MT. Wien. The main of fees and shops of Northwest Ar Service, Inc, are located at Boe- ing Field, Seattle, under the management of MT Crosson.

Another Great Achievement

The war caught us flat-footed, The Japs put over a Stinging blow at Pearl Harbor. Yet today America has the greatest fleet in the world. American industry's inge- nuity and American labor's zeal have built the staggering total of 65,0O0 vessels for the Navy in five years.
 Because of them the victorious ad- vances of our land forces are possible, They provided the means and the protec- ton for the greatest landing operations in history. These ships have driven the Jap navy to cover after crippling it in repeated encounters. They will carry the fight-and the Army-to the Philippines and China and Japan itself
 It has been magnificent achievement, from the subcontractors who fashion the ships components to the men who sail the ships and man their guns. The moral has been made before but it's worth mak- ing again; Management has fumbled and wasted; labor has grumbled and struck But what job has been done by the great unpublished majority of both segments of industry! It's not too much to trust that they can do as big a job in peacetime too.

Wrong Horse

Britain and Russia had good cause to find fault with Finland's still "cheery and brotherly" attitude toward Germany at the time of the armistice. And 1t is not excusing the Finnish government to point out that its members attitude showed more symptoms of human frailty than of statesmanship or diplomacy We have known several improvers of the breed who behave the same way, If they bet on a sure thing that fails to finish in the money, it is never their judgment that is faulty. It is something else; the horse wasn't in shape, the distance was wrong, the jockey didn't know how to handle him, etc.
 Maybe the Finnish government couldn't bear to admit its stupidity in putting all its money on a sparined platter. Maybe its members were ashamed to face the fact that in sticking with the Nazi entry they had lost their shirt

 Tn these experiments the public is being given a prevlew of few of the accomplishment which leading indus tries hope to realize in the near future. And as usual, the benefactor will be the American consumer, not because of any particular altruism on the side of industry, but because consumers con- Stantly demand more and the concern who fails to give more loses out in the competitive race.
