THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT of the Cha
 Tyrn,,a,axa..cc foi.lxr

THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT of the Chamber of II the Chamber of Commerce is fairly new to the community, but since his arrival has taken active interest in civic affairs, giving both time and talent without complaint to the economic problems of Northwestern Alaska and the possible solutions
 He has not only done the tasks assigned to him in the several organizations to which he part but on his own initiative has gone ahead with new, ori ginal and progressive ideas to expand and create more interest in promoting development in North western Alaska.
 We need more young men to follow the example of Don Hoover and keep the wheels of progress turn ing in this tundra land until it produces an economy equal to that of the Scandinavian countries, which have the same problems same climate but have ad- vaned faster than Alaska because of the need feed its millions.
 Every businessmen should be a part of the Cham Der of Commerce to help cut the cost of living Water power helped solve the problem in power and heating in other northern countries can do the same here Feasibility studies will determine what other Industries can be started but it takes many people to share in the planning to promote these studies or little can be accomplished

Structural Fantasia Takes Shape in Seattle

 On the top is an object which looks like the singing top skids used to spin. From the 40-foot gas torch atop that it's a drop of about 500 feet to the ground. making this $3.5 million spire the tallest structure west of the Mis- sissippi River.
 Inside the red-and gold atop is glass-enclosed observation platform, and, under it, will be a restaurant and cocktail lounge.
 Here the hungry visitor may dine while he and 249 other cus- tomers ride around a complete circle. The restaurant is 94 feet across, and the dining area is 14-foot-wide outside ring mount ed on turntable which makes a complete swing each hour. So per- fectly balanced is the great wheel that motor of only one horse power can turn 1t. Brand New Experience
 Much of the job of putting this spectacular tower together was a brand new experience for every one involved.
 The idea came from hotelman Edward Carlson, an official of the fair. He saw a lofty tower restau- rant in Stuttgart and decided something like that would be big attraction for the Seattle ex- position.
 The biggest problem was how to lift the heavy chunks of metal to greater and greater heights as the tower grew. Cranes aren't built 600 feet high.
 Paul Collop, construction super intendent for Pacific Car and Foundry Co.,. dreamed Up a rnov- able derrick It climbed up the inside the steel core of the needle as the structure grew higher, hoisting itself up another notch on 1 a pulley hung from each new section
 The needle job was sidewalk superintenden'ts delight. Collop told of a woman who watched until quitting time one day. Then she asked what time the crew would be on the job the next morning.
 When the men got to work at 5 am. the next day, tbere she was.

 SEATTLE R = A structural fantasia is taking shape in this far northwest corner of the na- ton.
 It's a mark of the skill of the craftsman of today and promise of the good things man can pro- duce in the future.
 The people of this gateway city to the North Pacific stand by fascinated, watching the Seattle Worlds Fair materialize in irn- aginative patterns of stone and steel.
 Next April hundreds of thou sands of strangers will join them to ride to this land-of- -things-to- come in a train of the future, see what the people of other lands hope to be doing in dustry, agri- culture, art and many other fields in the next century only 38 years away wander through the halls of the Science Pavilion, wander through an imaginary world of Century 21 and eat in a restaurant slowly revolving 600 feet above the city streets.
 Some Foreign Exhibits
 Some of the foreign exhibits will be housed in two buildings with roofs shaped like clusters of morning glories turned toward the sky On the other side of the grounds, beyond a fountain like none other, is the United States Science Pavilion, a group of six glistening buildings around a court where five Gothic arches tower 100 feet high. They are meant to express the theme of the pavilion and it's exhibits - mans constant reaching for bet ter things.
 E This group belongs to the fed- leral government. like a national monument or park. Congress
 picked up the $9 million construc- tion tab.
 l Back to that fountain: It was designed by two young Tokyo linen, Hideki Shimizu and Kazu- yuki Matsushita, in an interna- tional contest.
 The spray of water above a 1 100 -foot-wide ceramic basin can lbe kept constantly changing forming myriad of water sculptures. '
 The shape Of the water streams, which will arch up 100 feet, is controlled by an electronic tape 1 in chamber under the foun- ltain. Lighting changes with each new outline. Monorail to Carry Visitors The king-sized construction jobs on the fairgrounds and nearby
 were the Monorail, built to carry visitors from the center of town to the fair; the Coliseum, which shelters the theme exhibit and the impressive Space Needle restau- rant high above the city. The Monorail system is being built by Alweg International oz Sweden for $4.2 million. The coans N pany believes the cost is worth
 while because of the advertisinf
 value. People from all over the jworld will have a chance to see if

Building the elevated track was a job for Paul Bunyan. Two thick concrete rails, one for each of the two four-car electric trains, stretch from the modernistic depot downtown 1.2 miles to the fair grounds.
 The pair of rails is supported 24 feet in the air over the center of the street by 80 concrete columns, each weighing 30 tons. The rail beams, about five feet thick and a yard wide, span the distance between columns. Some are 90 feet long and weigh 62 tons.
 The train body reaches down on either side, firmly clutching the rails. Rubber wheels role in the grooves in the sides of the con- crete beams.
 You'll pay round trip fare of 75 cents for you and your wife and 50 cents for each of the kids for the 95-second run between city and fair grounds
 $3 Million Coliseum
 The $3 million Coliseum, which will house the theme exhibit, has a roof which is the first of it's kind. There is a graceful frame work of concrete and steel soar ing to central peak II stories high.
 To support the roof miles of steel cable were laced from truss to truss above the floor forming a network with eight-foot squares between cables. On that net are fastened 3,700 aluminium sheets, two panels to each square.
 It was a risky job working on that steel spider web. Like tight rope walkers, the crew moved around the wide-spaced mesh placing strings of blanks a foot wide to work from while they clamped the cables together and installed the panels.
 The design leaves the interior clear of any Instructions it's $50 feet across each way - big enough for two football fields. This giant field house is to be- come the property of Seattle after the fair.
