Tasty Dishes Are SteWed and BreWed Of Alaskan Weeds

Pine-needle tea, chickweed salad, seaweed stew and baked skunkcabbage may soon become common dishes on Valley dinner tables, if farm wives treat the contents of recently published Extension Service bulletin with proper respect. The bulletin maintains they're all good ex- amples of what's new and diff ferent to eat in Alaska.
 Aside from these items, the bulletin, F-4O, lists a half dozen common weeds that can be boiled into an acceptable substitute for spinach, if anyone happens to want substitute for spinach.
 Even a flower is included as a dinner possibility in this Alas kan book of menus. It's the ane- none, or WildfloWer, which the writer maintains makes a per fectly delightful dessert if beaten ito a creamy consistency with seal oil'' and frozen.
 Weed edibleS recommended in the bulletin include chickweed, curled dock, dandelion, several different kinds of ferns, fire weed, goose tongue, hemlock, In dian potato, Indian rice, smart weed, lambs quarter, various kinds of moss, mountain sorrel (this is unique in that it passes for spinach when cooked, but also tastes like rhubarb when sweeteneO, nettles, pigweed, sea- weed, silverweed and many oth- CTS.

A. Message to the People Of St. Croix


There appears to be considerable misundel
proposal Of Pan American Airways to serve St. Croix

of Pan Americans proposal.
!. In endorsing Pan Americans proposal the
people of st. Croix have assumed that Pan Ameri-
can would not compete with Caribbean Atlantic
for the local traffic between St. Croix and St.
Thomas and between St.-Groix and San Juan and
that Pan Americans service would be limited to
the carriage of through traffic, between St Croix
and the United States. THIS ASSUMPTION IS
INCORRECT. At the hearings in San,Juan, Pan
Americans witnesses testified specifically that Pan
American would not be willing to accept any res
friction which would prevent it from duplicating
Caribbean Atlantic'S local service and would not
be willing to serve st. Croix if it were limited only
to the carriage Of through passengers (page 375 OF
the Official Transcript. Accordingly, if Pan Amer
lean is allowed to serve St. Croix it will be able
to parallel Caribbean Atlaptic's entire route from
San Juan to St. Thomas and St. Croix and would
expose to ruinous competition approximately 50
per cent of Caribbean Atlantic's total traffic and
total passenger revenues. Obviously, Caribbean
Atlantic cannot afford to complete With Pan Amer
