Jimmy Stewart, veteran Pilot, prefers Alaska run.

1neEe dH OAo Sdy1HS 1HdI you can take a bush pilot out of the bush and stick him into a uni form. but ii won't fiji as well as a mackinaw and a pair of high boots.
 That goes for Jimmy Stewart.
 He is carried on the roster of Pan American World Airways as Captain James T. Stewart, but that doesn't fool anybody. A good ly percentage of the total popula- ton of Alaska probably has rid den with Captain Stewart at one time or another, and he's known to most of them as Jimmy.
 Jimmy is not only a master pi- lot; he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Alaska. Talk about it Not him. He'll talk about anything in the world rather than himself or his accomplishments.
 The flying son of the Stewards started his oud-climbing career like many another Alaska pilot as a hangar handyman, work ing in 1926 for the Fairbanks Air craft Corporation, getting soaked in grease right up to his eyebrows and loving every gob of it.
 His teacher was Smiling Jack" Hermann. The vehicle was a Monocoupe. The year was 1885.
 Jimmy amassed a staggering total of three hours and 20 min utes of dual time before he ran out of money So Hermann let him solo on the theory that he wasn't going to get any more tuition money anyhow and the airplane was insured. so what the heck. if he's got the makings of pilot. nows the time to find out.
 In rapid succession, thereafter, Jimmy operated a Buhl Pup, Swallow" and a "Taylorcraft" in the wild variety of tasks that only an Alaskan bush pilot would think of doing with an airplane.
 Pan American had been in AL aska for eight years in 1940 when the orbits of Juan T. Trippe and James T. Stewart crossed.
 'I got hungry" Jimmy says. "and somebody told me Pan Am erican dished out pay checks at regular intervals and that fur thermore the checks were good at the bank. so I figured it was worth a whirl."
 Pan American got right into the thick of the war. In 1922 and 1943

CANADA AND ALASKA CONSIDER PLAN
 FOR TRUCK TRAFFIC

A reciprocal trade agreement, that would permit Canadian trucks to drive over the Haines Cutoff to Haines without buying Alaskan license plates, is under stood to be under discussion be- tween Canadian and Alaskan governmental officials. Alaskan truckers, under an agreement ex- isting now, drive the length of the Alaska Highway without pur- chasing Canadian plates for their trucks.
 Canadian governmental heads from the Yukon Territory are more than anxious to work out plans for the development of the Cutoff for year-around use. How ever the project must be conduct ed with joint use of Yukon Terri tory and British Columbia funds, and that poses a problem. Brit ish Columbia stands to gain little from helping maintain the Haines Cutoff, since the road passes through a remote and sparsely settled area of that territory.

sailor you've had for years. You can do wonders with it merely by folding 3-inch white moire rib bon (selvaged edges showing) and making tailored bow at the front. Cut your band at the back, and sew snaps at each end.
 Do this with several different colored ribbons. You'll find you can change the entire appearance of the hat merely by changing the bands.
 Keep your Eversharp Pencil handy to jot down clever ideas when you find them. Here's a good Eversharp idea:
 Stitch sections of narrow elas- tic inside those changeable hat bands and you'll have something that can firmly hold in place any color artificial flowers you want to insert inside the band. Change the flowers and you have a new hat.

 One of the delights in making your own hats is that you can transport your hobby when you travel. In any community any where in the world q know from my tours) you can find trinket shops to supply your needs.
 I could suggest thousand tips, but that would take the fun out of it for you. The quality of your re- suits depends solely on your own tastes and cleverness, and the sky is the limit.
 No matter how slim your budg- ct, re-trim your hats, and you can own 109.

SCIENTISTS LEAVE
 FOR THIRD LOOK AT JUNEAU ICE CAP

For the third successive year, . group of scientists left Juneau recently to continue the Juneau Ice Research Project atop the Ju- neau ice field, fifth largest in North America. The expedition will be supplied through air drops and also by the Tenth Rescue Squadron, which plans to land on the ice field.
 The scientists expect to deter mine, at the end of this third ex- petition, whether more annual investigations are necessary, or whether less frequent observa- tions will be needed. They also will decide the practicality of a possible mid-winter field trip to the area, to be made either this year or next.
