Teacher Tells Of
Northern NORWAY

Spring in Norway is similar to
the coming of spring in Alaska
a Juneau High School teacher on
leave OF absehce, describes in a
letter received by Supt. of Schools
Edwin c. Clark.
Miss Margaret Maland, who is
spending a years leave in Norway
after teaching here since 1910
writes that she has as yet to see
Norwegian scenery as thrilling as
that of Southeast Alaska.
She is living in Moirana, des-
crihed as sleepy little town that
has suddenly become a boom town.
They are constructing Norway s
first and only steel mill here" she
writes. THE towns growing pains
are typical of what I observed IN
Anchorage in 1943-4-the original
residents squirm a little to see new
corners arriving, somewhat usurpine
their accustomed prestige
Hmm, Oslo people here to make
money ;"
Miss Maland mentions having
talked over the telephone with a
former Juneau student, ALT Olsen
who was in Norway with his par
ents this year.
Soon after Norway's Fourth OF
July, May II, she will sail south
ward by boat to see the famed West
Coast enroute to the us. She
plans on rejoining the Juneau
school faculty next September.

stood guard over the passengers.
The other three. pistols in hand,

Willingly Surrender Arms,
One covered the pilot and
ordered him to swing north. The
orthers took care of the co-pilot
and the radio operator.
The youths wished to fly direct
to Stockholm, but a low gasoline
supply forced the landing at the
air base. All willingly surrendered
their arms.
| Police did not disclose the names
of the five, but said none was
prominent and they appeared to
be clerks or workers. The plane
was first identified as a Douglas
IDC-3. Swedish experts discovered
on closer inspection it was a Rus
sian plane made on the lines of

Two Silver Spring (Md.) youths
have docked after a two-month,
1,400-mile cruise in 22-foot sail
boat.
Thomas Eesley, 18, of 235 Dale
drive. and Lewis Chesley, 18, of
10115 Pierce drive. dropped anchor
in front of the Eesley family cot
tage on Black Lake near here
yesterday.
Their journey started out from
Washington as a 40-day cruise
but became a tWo-month affair
after they ran into bad weather
in Georgian Bay.
The youths said they were
blown out into the middle of the
bay and their boat almost was
swamped by waves.
There was no chance to set up
their gasoline stove in, the flooded
cockpit and they went 36 hours
without warm food.
Canned goods ran low so they
rationed themselves to two cans
a day.
Chief complaint of the boys was
that the rain and spray from big
waves washed the labels off the
cans SO there was no way to tell
what they were opening.

5PoIes Seeking Haven
lin u. ). Seize Plane
In Air, Land in Sweden
BY the Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 17.-Five
young Poles. armed with -four
loaded guns and a toy pistol
forced their way through the Iron
Curtain by air yesterday with the
hope of eventually getting to the
United States.
Flashing the mixed weapons
they took command of a Polish
airliner on a domestic flight and
had the plane land in Sweden
Seven other passengers watched
helplessly.
The plane. a two-engined craft
belonging to the state -owned
Polish airline, put down on a mill
tary airfield near Nykoeping. 70
miles south of Stockholm.
The five youths asked for
asylum in Sweden as political
refugees and said they wanted to
60 on to the United States.
Youths to Get Hearing.
The other passengers, one a
woman. and the three crewmen
told Swedish authorities they
wished to return to Poland. 1t
Col. Gregor Falk of the Nykoeping
base air force said the plane,
serviced with Swedish gasoline
will head back to Poland with
them today.
The five youths will be moved
to police headquarters in Stock
holm while the state alien COM
mission examines their case. If
the plea for asylum is granted,
they probably will be allowed to
go on to the United States, police
officials said. Among them, they
have $22 for the trip.
During police questioning at the
air base, the crew and the seven
other passengers refused to sit
