Simon Wincelberg, co-author of
the new Twentieth-C Century Fox
picture, "On the Threshold of
Space" is a former Yeshiva teach
er. The movie deals with the re-
search of medical men in the U.
S. Air Force trying to test the
physical and mental effects on
servicemen travelling in the outer
layer of space. It is not a science
fiction thriller, but a science fact
yarn without sensationalism.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Wrangen-P Petersburg Road

As Regional Forester A. w Greeley pointed out at a Chamber meeting here two weeks ago, roads in Southeast Alaska's island coun- try, connecting towns via car fer ". are beyond the dream stage as q result of passage this year of the Federal highway aid act to include Alaska. Highway Engineer Irving Nick. Reed, whose department will have considerable to say in desig- mating roads under the new pro- gram, joins in this thinking.
 An evening drive from this his tOrlc town at the mouth of the mighty Stikine to picturesque Pet ersburg, guardian of the Narrows, is something that may be enjoyed within the next few years.
 Engineer Reed in recent letter to the Petersburg Chamber Outlin- ing some of the pertinent points of the highway act, had this comment to make:
 Tt has long been one of my dreams to extend the Mitkof High way by road and causeway, and if not possible, by road and ferry. With this accomplished, the road should be extended to the Stikine river as soon as possible l believe that the first step should be be- tween Petersburg and Wrangell."
 Reed went on to explain that the long range planning is for ferry system throughout Southeast Alas ka. He wrote:
 i've have the northern end Of this ferry system aIready establish ed. 1 have fairly firm assurance from Canada that it will establish a Prince Rupert-Ketchikan ferry ii we go ahead with a ferry system through the rest of the Panhandle
 '~The planning has been for 9 ferry between Prince Rupert and Ketchikan with tourists spending the night in Ketchikan, then fer ry between Ket tcni kan and Wrangeu with tourists spending one or two days in Petersburg and WrangeH. and then a ferry between Petersburg and Juneau, a day in Juneau and then a ferry between Juneau and Port Chilkoot l believe this will revive the tourist busl- ness which used to be- before the war, so great part in the econ omy of Southeast Alaska. and will increase to an unprecedented extent with these automobile ferries.
 Explaining how the Federal aid act pertains to Alaska, the Engin- ger said:
 You will note that the Govern or of Alaska. the Territorial High way Engineer of Alaska and the Secretary of Commerce designate road projects in Alaska Apparent lv. the Secretary of Commerce eith- CT with or without the cooperation of the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners will eXpend the funds on each designated road pro- ect. if my interpretajiOn Is right. Firty-five per cent of these funds 20 to primary roads, 30 per cent to secondary roads and 25 per cent go to urban roads to connect the two through urban areas

Some Improvement

As Alaska's commercial fishing season drew to a close this week, winding up last night at o'clock, pack returns revealed some i'm provement over last year. Final figures probably will show about q half million case pack gain over last, or around three million eases. Bristol Bays strong run accounted for most of the increase although there was some small improvement in the Southeast.
 Due to excellent prices. fisher men generally had better than fair season. Some boats will be far above normal Packers on the whole won't be too unhappy when the final figures are in. Wrangell- Petersburg canneries will have up by tomorrow night close to I5o.0OO cases. Farwest-WrangeH anticipates around 54.000 cases when they blow the whistle for the season.
