In one of the busiest per.ods of air travel that this city has ever experienced, the equivalent of halt the population of Juneau has been carried out of Juneau by Pan Amer ican World Airways during the past forty days. This was revealed today by Fred Dunn. District Traffic Man. ager for Pan American, who added that heavy volume of Clipper Car go shipments were also carried dur ing the period
 Observing unar many people are planning travel Dunn urged that reservations should be made early to avoid disappointment because of unusually heavy advance bookings. The same warning also applies to Clipper cargo. Shippers in Seattle should be advised to make space reservations for goods to be shipped to Juneau.
 Pan American has earned spe- cial significance to Alaskans as the family airline,'' said Dunn. Fares have been reduced to the point where families can afford to travel the Pan American way, and Pan Amer ican personnel has been trained to be of help with the special trans portation problems of Alaskans. They will be glad to assist anyone who contemplates travel outside in the near future. but I emphasize that reservations should be made early.
 Clipper cargo rates have des- cended along with passenger rates and have dropped from 43 cents per pound from Seattle to Juneau to 30 cents per pound on small shipments at the present time. Shipments of 100 pounds or more may now be sent for SIS. Since the lowest appli- cable rate is used for the shipment, $l3 is the most that shipment from Seattle of 100 pounds or less can cost.
 Also available are special com modity rates--meat, for example, comes by Clipper cargo from Se- attle for only 6 cents per pound in shipments of 500 pounds.
