ALASKA COASTAL BUYS NEW DBY
 FOR SlIkA RUN
24-Pdssenger Amphibidn 10 Be First Raddr Equip
 ped Air Unit in Alaska

A new plane Will soon be iiyine the airlanes of Southeast Alaska or Alaska Coastal Airlines.
 Purchase of a 24-passenger PBY capable of carrying Az ton car go, was announced today by o. F. Benecke, Alaska Coastal office manager
 The new amphibious craft, to be put into service on the Juneau Sitka operation, is under conver- sion now at Long Beach Aeromotive in California, and will be ready for delivery the latter part of May
 AGA co-owner Sheldon Simmons and Benecke plan to go to Califor- mia the miGdle of next month to fly the plane here upon completion ot the work.
 Radar Installed
 Radar equipment is to be in stalled on the new BPY to make 1t the only commercial air borne unit in Alaska so equipped. Also, it will have the newest available type of instrument flight equipment, which, according to Benecke, will mean safer flying in conditions of restricted visibility and ceiling.
 Alaska Coastal will be working into instrument operations, Benecke said, adding that due to the flying boat characteristics of the new plane, it will be able to fly under lower weather minimums than lard operation planes.
 He said the plane would undergo some further work here and te ready for operation within about 30 days after arrival
 The plane, similar to the two- engine aircraft used by the Navy now and during World War II, is being given a dress-up job for pas senger service.
 Lining in the cabin ceiling is to be a beige tone, with chocolate brown sides. Seating material is of Ia deep green and tan weave.
 Three Compartments
 The cabin contains three pas- senger compartments, according to Benecke. The two aft compart-. mcnts are to have quick detachable fittings for seats so that within a few minutes passenger facilities may be removed and cargo facilities installed.
 The number of cabin windows will be in creased in the new plane, as we'll as the window-size enlarged.
 Major operations will be from the Alaska Coastal Airlines habor dock, Benecke said, adding that no hangar space is now available for the new big bird.
 Present Alaska Coastal pilots who will be flying the new ship will be getting briefed in new in- strument equipment.
 Sea-Bee Conversion
 ACA's little Sea-Bee has been undergoing conversion for use as an instrument trainer for pilots. Similar instrument flight equip ment to be installed in the PBY has been put into the Sea- Bee, in- cluding auto directional finder, LIS, marker beacon receiving equipment. The ship will be used in conjunc- ton with the company's link train- CT in providing means of main- taining instrument proficiency of pilots.
 A good portion of the special equipment will be quickly remoy- able, Benecke said, so that the Sea-. Bee will still be available for chart CT.
 Addition of the PBY to the AGA aircraft lineup is step forward for the Airlines, Benecke said, ada ing that it would permit AGA to increase the number of flights dur ing the winter months, which in the past have been hampered by poor flying conditions, resulting

Here on earth we measure time
There are different hours, days,
weeks, months and years There
are times of sowing and times of
reaping, of sorrow ana of JOY, Of
weakness and Of strength.
But there is only one eternity,
and we. cannot measure it. There
is an old saying that the world is
merely a bride into eternity. We
are to pass over it, but not to build
our dwellings on it. We are pill
grins, having here no abiding city,
but seeking one which is to come.
One day the world shall fall into
dust, and our towers and cities
shall melt like the fleeting dreams
of night. All the world, all time
our hours and years-are march
ing toward Gods eternity.
Only one eternity! There will be
two kinds of people in it, the eter-
nally saved and the eternally lost.
Men and women who thought that
their time on earth was all they
would ever have will know that
they paid a fearful price spending
it in sin. Men and women who, by
the grace of God, saw the Cross
reach from earth to heaven to save
them for time and for eternity will
know that life here on earth was
but an anteroom to heaven.
That thought controls the Chris
tan life Instead of laying up things
that moth and rust can destroy,
we lay up treasures in heaven. What
we do in time is always viewed in !
terms of eternity We live today |
rs we would live if it were our last |
day before eternity. We are al |
ready in two pilgrims in

aternally here and now already

deed, what fools some of us NOR
tails are.
The present Administration will
soon recommend to congress, so it
is said, legislation to bolster the
nations economic life. Let's seei
that kept insisting there would be
a drastic slump following the war
and that there would be need to
provide millions of jobs? That guess
missed by a mile and there were
so many jobs men could not be
found to fill them. And then our
President kept insisting that laws be
given him to control initiation even
up to and after the time that de-
flation had set in. How can there
be much dependence in what rec
concentrations come out of the
White House? Isn't it a case of
the blind trying to lead the blind?
Let's give another quotation this
week from James F. Byrnes, a
Democrat, former congressman, SEN
ator U. S. supreme court justice
and secretary of state. Said Byrnes
in a speech at Washington and Lee
University:
Some of the proposals now sug-
gested which would curtail the lib
critics of the people are. offered in
the name of public welfare and are
to be made possible by Federal aid.
That phrase is an opiate It is de-
ceptive. 1t leads people to believe
that Federal aid funds come from
a Christmas tree. The truth is that
there are no Federal funds except
those taken from your pockets If
the people generally will ever come
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1949-07-21

What fools we mortals are. At
least, some of US. AS an example
of that simple statement, take the
case of Judith Coplon. There is
a young woman who had talent and
every advantage. An honor grad
uate of a fine college, possessed of
unusual ability, holding a position
of trust that paid her close to $4,000
year. And what does she do
with those talents and advantages?
For some strange reason she turns
traitor to her country, becomes a
spy and transmits government
secrets to a Russian agent, is con-
yicted in court and faces a term
n federal prison.
And that isn't all of the dreadful
affair. Evidence brought out in
court indicates moral looseness on
her part. All of which was prob
ably an active cause in the death
of her invalid father shortly after
her arrest, and will probably hurry
her old mother to an early grave
after a few more weary, broken
hearted years.
And she sold her wonderful birth
right and possibilities for such
rotten mess of pottage. Yes, in

help relieve the awful human suf-
fering that is the aftermath of war
Yes, one should never become
discouraged in well-doing. Because
David Grayson was surely right in
concluding in his Adventures In
COntentment' that human nature is
fundamentally sound and sweet.
The teachers of the United States
did the expected. No one was sur
prised when they adopted a reso-
luton, during their recent national
convention, that communists should
be barred from teaching in our
schools and that communists should
be denied membership in the Ma
tiOnal Education Association. Every
one knows the vast majority of our
teachers are among our most loyal
and patriotic Americans. Hence
their action surprised no one
They were careful to state, how
ever, that teachers should never be
denied the right to believe what
ever they wish. BY all means. Let
them be communists if they are so
foolish. But American parents will
never consent to having their
children exposed to the vicious,
murderous philosophy taught by
communism.
BY all means insure the teachers
the right to believe whatever they
please, but parents will insist that
when teachers embrace communism
they get out of our schoolrooms
pronto.

At least that is our conviction in
respect to men and women here in
America One only has to watch
the daily press to see many
evidences of that. It was only this
last week that we read of a farmer
in the Inland Empire who lost a
hand in an accident. So what hap
pened? His crop was ready to har-
vest and one day a number of his
neighbors appeared with their ma
chimes and got in his Wheat for him.
And while the men worked in the
field, the wives prepared a feast for
them. 1t was one of those old
fashioned "bees" to help a neighbor
in distress.
And frequently one reads of sim
liar neighborly acts. The papers
have told of a number of them. A
wife loses a husband and finds her
self with farm on her hands or
a man becomes i'll when work must
he done. So the neighbors pitch in
and either pillow and seed or harvest
a crop with no other thought of pay
except the reward that comes from
the feeling of kindly deed well
done.
