pNA SERVICE SHOWS. BIG GAIN OVER 1q49

During the month of September 1850, Pacific Northern Airlines' traffic, within Alaska and between the States and Alaska, showed marked gains ofer the same period in 1949, according to Harold A. Olsen, PNA's General Traffic Man ager.
 The largest single increase was in Special Service" revenue passen- ger miles flown. 47000 Special Service revenue passenger miles were flown, consisting of Alaska Seattle flights carrying personnel, baggage and equipment of the AL aska Fishing Industry. A special CAB exemption was given PIMA in 1850 to handle this traffic on a direct basis.
 Total revenue passenger miles flown increased 67 per cent to 1,259,0O0 miles flown in this cate- gory for September 1850. The num- Ter of revenue passengers carrleu increased 35 per cent.
 Cargo, excess baggage and U. $. mail ton miles flown increased 182 per cent, 75 per cent and 20 per cent respectively over the 1949 totals.
 We feel that a new pattern of air traffic is being developed in Alaska-one which is based on a more stable year-round economy, rather than on sharp seasonal spurts," stated MT. Olsen. This is evidenced by the yearly growth in business during months such as September which previously showed sharp traffic declines"
 Pacific Northern Airlines, one of Alaskas pioneer air carriers, Is presently awaiting CAB action on a request for an extension Of scheduled service from Alaska to the States.

Perhaps the most significant
trip around the camp as far as
training was concerned, was
made to the BazoolSa and Rife
grenade ranges. Here, the train
ing takes on a more serious out
look. There is no fooling around.
Each man is anxious to learn as
much as possible in the short time
he is on the range. AS we walked
around the range we couldn't
help but watch the various facial
expressions of the men as they
received their instructions on
firing the Bazooka. There were
some men who were familiar with
this type Of instruction. To others
II was something entirely new;
but one thing sure. the at
tention Of all of them, was ser
iously and undoubtedly directed to
the instructors.
These same faces, in a few
months, could be the ones which
we could see in pictures from
battle fronts in the South Pacific.

When we entered the Oasis
Bar. which is about five or six

evidence of difference in us and
