First FIighf of Alaska Airnlai| 20 YearsAgo

SEATTLE, Nov. 1-iR-Twenty years ago today the first contract airmail was flown in Alaska.
 And the former dog team driver who fouled up in loading the plane recalled it all today after a double take at the wall calendar at the Pan American World Airways
 He's Fred Milligan, 64 who now is Panam's mail supervisor here.
 Milligan. who had put in 20 win ters mushing his dog team from Nenana. south of Fairbanks, to Flat and Bethel on a contract basis, saw his job go up in the air with that pioneer flight.
 Figuring if you can't lick 'em, join em,9 he joined 'em, and that's how he got his present job.
 Milligan told about the flight to- day.
 The pilot was the late Capt Ali Monsen, who died four years ago in an Alaska plane crash. The widow is Mrs. Helen Troy Monsen, owner of the Juneau Empire, Alaskan capital city's daily newspaper.
 A Fairchild Fl was the plane Milligan says the inaugural flight was delayed two hours by his own mistake.
 T thought you'd load an air plane the same way you loaded a dog sled" he recalls. 50 I slowed the 1000 pounds of mail in the rear of the plane. Monsen looked it over, then ordered me to restow it right behind the pilots seat
 The flight started at Nenana be- cause that was the point where the Alaska Railroad dropped off the stateside mail on the northwest trip to Fairbanks from Seward and An chorage.
 That flight knocked out the dog team mail delivery service. The plane did in a day what it had taken me % days to do," Milligan sasy.
 Does he miss the old dog team days and those 20 winters on the trail?
 "Yes and no. Those winters seem to be longer now. I like 1t here. Milligan has no family.

Too Many Commissions Fish Men Agree al Meef

There was an almost unanimous feeling against the formation of any more international fish con- missions at recent fisheries meet ing in Portland, c. L. Anderson, director of the Alaska Department of Fisheries reported yesterday up- on his return here.
 Anderson and Robert Parker. bio- logist, attended the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission meeting in Portland, Representative from Cal ifornia, oregon, Washington, Brit ish Columbia and Alaska were in attendance. They presented reviews of biological research during the past year on coastal fish.
 Parker gave an illustrated report on the Departments Alaska act ivities. Members of the group work closely in correlating information from the various areas.
 Species under discussion includ- ed king and silver salmon, blackcod, tuna and sardines as well as bottom fish.
 Against More Commissions
 The reasons advanced agalnst formation of more international fish commissions, Anderson said were: CD they infringed on states rights; (2) fishermen are never given re- presentation; and (3) the mem- bership felt that the combined ef- forts of the membership in investi- gations were of greater value than the international commissions.
 Anderson pointed out there are no fishermen on the International Sockeye Salmon Commission and none on the International Fisher ies Commission which controls hali- but fishing. There isn't even an AL aSkan on the International Fisher ies Commission and 50 percent of the halibut is taken in Alaska wat CTS, he said.
 He stated that the California dele gation was bitter about the halibut situation and opposes regulations governing halibut fishing off Cal ifernia, which like Alaska, has no representation on the commission.
 Anderson and Parker were inter- viewed for transcriptions on KOMO's old Boat Fuller radio program. The program is heard from Seattle

The Catholic Church teaches.
that marriage must be what God
meant it to be !. not only a ceG
tract = but a Sacrament.
When the marriage of a man
and woman is a Sacrament, they
receive title to all the divine helps
necessary to overcome the Difficult
ties of domestic life. They are thus
better able to overcome personal
iy differences. to deal justly
with each other :. to understand
the problems of living together.
Marriage is not a strictly pri-
vate affair. 1t is the concern of the
whole community. 1t is the special
concern of the Church, which is
charged with safeguarding this
Sacrament. That is why the Catho-
lie Church strives to impress tue
true nature of marriage upon all
who hear her voice.

The Real Secret Of
SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

Advice on how to be happily
married was never so freely avail
able as it is today.
Marriage problems are openly
discussed in newspaper columns
and on the radio. Marriage advice
is available from the man next
door, who speaks from experience
.. and from the psychologist,
whose views come from study and
research. There is no topic >.
from etiquette to fidelity :. on
which advice is not available.
Yet with all this marriage edu-
cation, the modern divorce rate
continues at an appalling high!
This condition obviously is not
due to ignorance of the so-called
facts of life" 1t cannot be attri-
buted to economic problems, for
good times have been repeatedly
marked by a high divorce rate.
Nor can it be blamed on personal
"incompatibility," which often
appears in divorce petitions.
These and other practical prob
lens undoubtedly contribute to
marriage conflicts. But the basic,
Fundamental cause of marriage
failures goes deeper. 1t is the
failure Of many people to realize
the true meaning of marriage /.
to recognize that ie is lifelong
union Of a man and a woman -.
to see that its main purpose is the
begetting and rearing of children.
In Catholic eyes, marriage is,
first of all, a contract which. as
with all contracts must be gov
erned by justice. A purely senti-
mental and physical attraction be-
tween man and a woman, which
is not permeated by a sense of
duty to each other and to God, is
not the love upon which enduring
homes are built.

And then, suddenly and with

bathed in a brilliant glow and a

Marty Walsh and Detective

Don was sitting on the ground,
and Linda knelt beside him. They
both looked up at Marty Walsh.

grin. ''1ow come, Lieutenant"
Walsh said crisply, Don't

where the road forked. Then we

day suspension.
Wordless, Ralph's parting shot
