New York Music Teacher Yeurns for Flights Over Alaskan Arctic Aquin

An interest in Alaska has brought ex-school teacher Jane Robbins to Alaska twice in the past five years, and is likely to bring her winging north again in the very near future, according to a story printed in recent edi- tion of the Christian Science Monitor.
 The time music teacher, who is member of the Ninety Mines, a woman's flying organ ization, and who flew for the U. s. Wasps during the war, orig inally came north to do a job of housekeeping. She came in 1946 to oversee her brothers family of three during a summers min ing season at Candle. In her spare time, she was recruited to fly freight and passengers for the firm, the Arctic Circle Explor- ation Go.
 Miss Robbins next returned in 1949, when a fellow pilot of her summers bush-pilot days, called her at New York to hop north in a hurry and help him find polar bear for couple of Arctic hunt CTS. That was her first experi- ence in ski-equipped planes and

with winter flying conditions in the far north, where it is often difficult not to confuse snow covered tundras with wintery grey skies. Jane managed it all right, though, and while she was wheeling north along the Arctic coast on polar bear reconnoiter- ing expeditions, she also was en- larging her film collection of Alaskan scenes.
 With bear hunt chores com- pleted and movie film exhausted, she turned south again, expect ing to settle down to a humdrum existence of understanding. Then one day the lady pilot happened to read an advertisement about a new type of plane, that seemed to her just made to order to meet Alaskan flying conditions.
 She felt so enthusiastic about the planes future that she wrote its manufacturers. They decided they could use a lady with Jane's enthusiasm, so now she's selling airplanes. And deep in the bottom of her heart is the hope that not too far in the future she'll be sell ing that made for Alaska plane to Alaskans.

The Georgetown Branch Boys
Club, which started in one room
atop a grocery store. is passing

phase of its transformation will

Already two baseball diamonds,

house-the old Peck Memorial
Church at Twenty eighth and M

it is sold, construction will begin

include a huge indoor outdoor

The million dollar undertaking
is being supported by contribu-

except for periodic cutting, now it
can be left alone. 1t takes it upon
itself to kill off any attempted in

Our gym will be different, too, :"
says Casassa. "It will be divided
by a removable partition and will
seat 600 for basketball and 1000
for boxing. Boys clubs in the
past have been built without an

"And our pool will be 20 years

A new Tommy Boy racer is on

that spells bad news for Joe Pal
mer's opponents.
For the benefit of the new
conner, Tommy Boy is the name
