Tips To Vets
Who Have Special
.GI Insurance

Three tips offered by the Vet
Grams Administration to veterans
who have special Korean CT in
Surance.
More than 250,000 post-Korea
veterans have taken out the spe-
cial term insurance available to
them upon separation from ac-
tive military service. VA said.
To these new policies. the fol-
lowing three points of advice were
offered
First, get into the habit of pay
ing all premiums when they are
due. Although the law allows a
grace period" of 81 days during
which the policy remains in ef-
feet even if premium due is not
paid, veterans should consider
this provision an emergency mea-
sure and reserve 1t for an emer-
gency.
Second, do not send cash
through the mails in paying pre-
miumS. but use a check or money
order made payable to the Vet
Grams Administration. Your cam
Celed check OF money order stub
will serve as a receipt.
Third, be sure to name your
beneficiaries and have this in
formation recorded by VA. This
may be done at the nearest VA
office.
After their separation from ac-
tive military service. Korean vet
elanS have only l20 days in which
to apply for the special term in
sufance, VA added for the benefit
of men and women Just released
from service.

Record Number of
Travellers To and From
Alaska Last Year

Passenger travel in and out of
Alaska reached new peak in
1854. During the year over a quar-
ter Of million people entered and
left the territory, a total Of 1885,
026 persons actually being tabu-
lated. This represented an increase
in total traffic of nearly 5 percent
since 1853, and an increase of
over SO percent since 1850.
During the year the airlines
carried 57.3 percent Of the total
traffic, while 31.6 percent trav-
eled by highway and Ill percent
by steamship.
These figures were revealed re-
Gently by the Alaska Develop
ment Board. Each year the board
complies statistics to determine
the volume, direction Of flow, and
general trend of Alaska passenger
traffic.
Not included in the studies are
those persons carried by military
transportation services. 1t was
known, however, that during 1854
the Military Sea Transportation
Service carried approximately
$4,000 military personnel and
their dependents to and from the
territory by steamship.
The 1854 tabulations showed
that for the first time in many
years more people departed from
Alaska than entered. Arriving in
1854 were 125,825 persons; de-
parting, 129,527; leaving differ
ence in departures over arrivals
of 1923 persons.
During the peak tourist travel
months of June, July and August,
total passenger traffic amounted
to 110,888 persons, or 43 percent
Of the total traffic for the year.

AlaSka's Fish & WildIife
Resources Are Major
Source of Income

Alaska's Fish and Wildlife re-
sources bring an estimated S115
million to the territory annually,
an income second only to govern
ment spending.
OF this amount $1212 million
was spent on hunting and fishing
in 1928. BY 1953-54 this sum
had risen to over S16 million.
These figures dealing with AL
aska were released recently in a
booklet titled "Wildlife in the
Economy Of Alaska" written by
DR.. John L. Buckley, leader Of
the Alaska Cooperative Wildlife
Research Unit at the University
of Alaska. Dr.. Buckley wrote the
booklet to answer the recurrent
question: How important is fish
and wildlife in Alaskan"
DR.. Buckley's research shows
that non-residents spent $312 mill
lion on hunting and fishing in AL
aska during 1852. Residents
spent the remaining SO million
The amounts have increased sub
stantially since that time.
These figures are exclusive Of
license fees.
Over half Of this total, 81 mil
lion, was spent in the 3rd Divi-
sion; So million in the 4th Divi-
sion; ia million in the 1st; and
the balance in the End.

Northwest Gets Authority
For Cold Bay-Tokyo Run

WASHINGTON, R-The Civil
Aeronautics Board Monday au-
thorized Northwest Airlines to
carry passengers, cargo and mail
between Cold Bay, Alaska, and
Tokyo.
Northwest has used Cold Bay
since last June 80 for operational
stops on flights between the
United States and Tokyo, but has
not had special authority to op-
crate solely between Cold Bay
and Tokyo.
Northwest informed the Board
that contracts are now being ne
gotiated which will require the
movement Of passengers between
Tokyo and Cold Bay, mainly
during the spring and summer
months starting about April 1.

Second Atomic big Shot
Less Spectacular Than LIST

LAS VEGAS, New, Up - The
second major atomic blast of the
spring series was touched off
Tuesday and although it may
have been more powerful, il was
far less spectacular than the first
of the so-called "big shots" last
March Z.
Overcast skies in many areas
prevented the brilliant flash from
being seen, although shock waves
gave Cedar City, Utah, its worst
jolt ever from a nuclear test.
The March z shot, fired i'm per-
fectly clear weather, was seen
from border to border through
out the west. Both devices were
detonated from 5OO-foot towers.
Indications were, however, that
today'S test packed at least as
much wallop as the other big one
rated at about 20 kilotons, or
10000 tons of INT.

Nome Businessmen
Urged to Make Tourists
Stay More Pleasant

The members of the Chamber
Of Commerce devoted the better
part Of their business meeting yes
terday to the problem of tourists,
as that season is soon to be here
again.
Better cooperation among the
business people as well as a better
understanding and education of
the entire community on ways
and means of making the stay of
visitors in the community wei
come so they will be individual
advertisers for more tourists.

Richard Benson Sr. of the NC
Store as chairman, with Paul
Vaudeville, Barbara Martin, An
cello Buffas and Charles Reader
as committee, to lay out a pro-
gram and submit ideas.

uled for April in Juneau. Any
member planning to be there at
that time is asked to contact DIR.

Osborne Praises Pilot Richards
After Narrowing Ordeal on Ice

John Osborne, polar bear hunt
er who is lucky to be alive, is
convalescing at home from frozen
feet and frosted fingers.
Osborne expressed the highest
praise for Tommy Richards, Wien
pilot and we'll known bush flier,
2 for the way he handled the sit
uation after making a beautiful
landing on the ice, which from all
appearances was an ideal landing
field and within shooting range
of the polar bear which they had
been following not far from PIT.
Hope.
Osborne relates that he was the
first to get out Of the plane,
Cessna 1875, after having some diff
ficulty opening the door, as there
was high ice near it. When he
realized that Richards and the
other hunter, Richard Wilson,
were still in plane he went back,
walking out on the surface Of
the wing to help extricate them.
BY this time the fuselage Of the
plane was under water with only
the wings floating.
When they were all out and
realized that all their equipment
for arctic survival was gone, they
started to walk to Pit. Hope only
to find they were cut off by
water in all directions and drift
ing north.
They then decided that Rich
ards, the best conditioned of the
three, should attempt to get to
shore while Osborne and Wilson
would remain at the plane where
there was firm ice and where
search planes would find them.
Wilson is man about so years
old. They found a protected area
Of about 90 feet long in the lee
Of q pressure ridge, protected
from the wind and they walked
around this small area contin-
uously for 20 hours to keep from
freezing.
They were spotted there by
John Cross who took them to PIT.
Hope, Osborne stated, where the
teachers, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Sipes,
Mark Kinneveak, and Daniel Lis
borne, were wonderful in their
kindness and first aid and did
everything they could to make
them comfortable II wish to ex-
press appreciation Also" said Os-
borne to the 74th Air Rescue
Squadron, the C.AA., Wien Air
lines, all the Kotzebue bush pilots
who assisted in the search, and to
the staff Of the Kotzebue hos
pital."
We'll try to get a bear again
next year." said Osborne today,
with Tommy Richards as pilot,
there's none better"
