Workmen in the building trades
are experiencing busy summer as
construction activity in the Biuffton
area continues on a boom scale, al
though operations are decidedly more
modest than in the first year follow
ing the close of World War II.
Five new houses, under construc-
ton or ready to be started, together
with extensive remodeling and re-
pair programs to residential build
ings have created a huge backlog of
work for carpenters and building
contractors, expected to run well
into the next year.
Altho residential building activity
has been in a boom stage here for
nearly two years now, observers
said this week the housing shortage
in the town and community remains
as acute as ever, with no indication
of diminishing point in the near
future.
Five New Homes
New residences under construction
are those of Mrs. Elsie Buckland,
Thurman street; c. F. Niswander,
South Main street; Gerald Swank,

Bluffton Party yEnroute On Auto Trip
To Alaska Z yer Rugged. .Alcan Highway
Fred Wenger Family Starts
For Fairbanks, South of
Arctic Circle
Road Trayerses Wilds of North !;
Filling Stations 800 Miles
Apart

Heading out on an adventurous
trip thru the wilds bordering the
/ ,500-mile Alcan highway across
Canada and Alaska, five members of
the Fred Wenger family left Satur-
day afternoon on a motor tour that
will take them to Fairbanks, Alaska,
about 125 miles south of the Arctic
Circle.
Making the trip with Wenger, who
is going to Fairbanks on business, is
Mrs. Wenger, their son, Robert, and
another son, Richard, and his wife.
To Fairbanks one way is a motor
trip of approximately 5000 miles,
with 1900 miles of the tour on the
recently opened Alcan highway
through the wilds of Canada and
Alaska.
No Paved Roads
From Edmonton, Alberta, there is
a 500-nile stretch of dirt road to
Dawson Creek, British Columbia,
where the Alcan highway, a grayeled
road, begins its route northward.
Travel win be no easier from that
point, for most of the way is twist
ing and mountainous.
There are sheer drops at the
curves, and no abutments or safety
barriers to retard car if it fails to
make the turn.
Gasoline filing stations are ap-
proximately 800 miles apart, and an
automobile breakdown may mean a
delay of weeks, for garages where
repairs can be made are as much as
| 900 miles apart.
Prices High
Prices are high, for everything
must be flown in by planes to the
few towns and stopping places along
the highway. Two eggs served in
hotel eating place cost as much as
$3.50; lettuce is 81 a pound; gasoline
sells at SO cents a gallon and
tomatoes bring 80 cents a pound.
Only at Dawson Creek, start OF
the highway, and Whitehorse, little
more than halfway to Fairbanks
are there hotels, and tourists must
sleep in their cars or in the open.
The Wengers are taking with
them two folding cots for the women
and three sleeping bags for the men
to use on the trip. Eating places
also are hundreds of miles apart
and the Bluffton family expects tc
eat on the road, and are taking a
portable gasoline camping stove with
them to do the cooking.

ed up with good supply of canned
vegetables, fruits and meats.
On top of the car, the Wengers
have two extra tires, and with filling
stations hundreds of miles apart
they also carry a large reserve
supply of gasoline and oil in cans.
Tire chains also are a necessity
because of the thousands of miles ot
unpaved roads over which the trir
will be made. These roads arc eithe,
filled with dust or a sea of mut
depending on the season.
Enroute to the start of the Alcar
highway, the BIuffton tourists will
visit Yellowstone park, Glacier park
Banff and Lake Louise.
Wenger said the trip likely woult
require several months.
