" BRINGING UP'FATHER A brief outline of of the Alaska Aeronautics and | cemmunication Coramission during {he period beginning July 1, 1942, |and ending June 30, 1943, complete | with self-explanitory maps and in- | formation to the general public, is! { zcntained in a report just issued by W. R. Nichols, Supervisor, with headquarters in Juneau Supervisor Nichols, in his report 1ys the “Alaska Aeronautics Act” rges the Commission with the cupcrvision, promotion, and devel- jpment of aeronautics and com-| munications within the Territory.| The Commission is also charged | with the promulgation, adoption, | | | ind enforcement of rules, regula-|ope tions, and orders to safeguard from ! accident, and to protect the safety of persons operating or using air- craft, and persons and property on the ground; provided, that such rules, regulations, and orders shall; not duplicate nor conflict with the| :eronautical and comniunications -egulations in force by the Depart- ment of Commerce of the United | States, and/or the Federal Com-| munications Commission, and/or the provisions of the Federal Air Commerce Act of 1926. Special Problems The sparse and scattered popu- lation of Alaska, which means a similar dispersion of economic act- ivity, gives rise to special problems in transportation and communica- tion. Approximately 500 miles of railroads and 3,000 miles of ve- hicular roads serve an area of ap- proximately 600,000 square miles. Air transportation is ser?ing as .the most logical solution for the lack of other methods of travel. Planes operate to and from communities that have no other communication with the outside world than occas- icnal mail during the summer months. The vastness of the area served, weather conditions preval- €nt in northern climates, communi- cation difficulties due to distance and lack of proper radio facilities, and economic problems have been a4 major problem to aircraft oper- ators. The Alaska Aeronautics and Com- munications Commission, meeting in Juneau March 18-22, 1943, real- izing these conditions planned and adopted regulations designed to add to the safety of aircraft and occu- pants. These regulations, in their final form, were the result of the experience of pilots from every sec- tion of Alaska and do not dupli- cate any regulations of the Civil Aercnautics. Administration. They are sufficiently broad that they may ke adapted to any portion of the Territory . without hardship to those concerned. Post War Planning Post war planning ‘places Alaska s the hub of world aviation opera- tions. The great .circle routes to Manila, Hong Kong; Calcutta, Bom- bay, and Tokyo are by way of Alaska. Technical ' developments ptedict a large volume of post war private flying in addition to the txpansion of -commercial air trans- portation facilities. We have every reason to expect an aeronautical future for Alaska. Much of the progress of a nation depends upon its communication and transportation facilities. This is also true of any Territory. It:is obvious that many deficiencies exist in communications within Alaska. In an area as large and sparsely. cettled as Alaska the cost of a net- work of wire lines would be pro- hibitive. The nucleus of all com- munication within the Territory 'is the Alaska Communications Sys- tem which is composed of twenty- cne radio stations. Other line ex- | tensions -are, for the greater part, represented by the Office of Indian Affairs with fifty-six stations and the Alaska Aeronautics and Com- munications Commission with nine- |teen stations. Fifty-three stations |are licensed to individuals or com- munities, Approximately eight |hundred fifty communities have no communication. Only two hundred twenty communities have post of- fices. Since the majority of the stations do not operate at a profit their cnly measure of success can 'be at- tributed to the whale hearted co- cperation of these .agencies and in- dividuals who have given freely of their time without remuneration. | The furnishing of communication | to every community is a possibility 'that could be realized through the MINA CHAPMAN, GEORGE BAROUMES TO BE WED; 'HOLD PUBLIC RECEPTION | Nina Chapman and George Ba- roumes are to be married here to- morrow evening.

Their effective- ness can be enhahced by a central office administering their operation | and maintenance similarly to the Territorial and Office of Indian Affairs Stations. Terr. Radio Stations Territorial radio stations are lo-| cated at Marshall, Homer, Hoonah, |Hydaburg, Deering, Kenai, Angoon, ! Tenakee, Kasilof, Ninilchik, Taku Lodge, Kake, Gustavus, Sitka Pio- neers’ Home, and Goddard Hot| Springs. The latter two stations| were reopened June 12, 1943. The! station at Shungnak is being Te- | opened immediately. The Jack| Wade equipment, is being moved to! Beaver and the Bonnifield equip- ment to Stony River. The Taylor| Creek station is yet to be relocated.! ‘The Military has found it prac- tical to take over the control and| cperation of several Territorial sta- tions. Arrangements have been made whereby others may be trans- ferred to military control in the| future if the need arises. Most of the stations are continuing to handle commercial traffic. | The increased demand on the m-i dividual’s time and energies due to, the war emergency has, in a few| instances, meant that some stations are occasionally without operators although this situation has been| partially relieved by several per-| sons in the community cbmlning; cperator's licenses. Operating a| Territorial radio station is not a| full time job since most stations maintain only one or two schedulesi a day. | ‘Weather Reports Many of the operators of the! territorial stations are also weather observers and receive compensation | from the United States Weather Bureau. The Weather Bureau de-(‘ pends upon existing facilities for the - transmission of weather re-| ports. Territorial and Alaska In- dian Service teachers operate a| number of the stations. All stations are active in the Air!| Warning Service. We have also| been of assistance to the war effort | by providing radio equipment and installing several radio stations in| strategic locations which would | otherwise be without radio com- munication. This office is cooperating with all | governmental and private sources in the establishment and operation of radio facilities in the public' In- terest. The shortage of equipment | and technical services has made it | imperative that all organizations| cooperate to the fullest extent in providing - communication without duplication of services. Post war| planfiing should include provisions | for the establishment of radio com- | munication for every community in| Alaska. A budget of anticipated expend- itures during the biennium ending March 31, 1945, was prepared by the Commission. This budget, in| the amount of $20,000, was believed necessary to enable the Commission | to actively carry on its duties as charged by the Alaska Aeronautics Act, however, the cancellation of | “ommission. meetings for the dura- | tion and the assuming of technical duties . by the newly appointed supervisor enabled the budget to be reduced to $16,700. ~ This amount was, appropriated by the 1943 ses- sion of the Territorial Legislature.
