SENT Seattle ATIVES Wash. Alaska Newspapers, 1411 CAR FERRY We have just received what seems to be the first comprehensive report on a proposed car ferry system which would connect Southeast Alaska with overland routes in the Territory. It carries the imposing title of “Feasibility of Automobile Ferry Service Connecting Southeastern Alaska With the Canadian Highway System at Prince Rupert and with the Alaska Highway via Haines." However, the title seems to be the only complicated item in the report—the contents so well done that it puts the project over. We note the names of several cld friends as authors of the study—James Rettie and George Sundborg, formerly with the National Resources Planning Board in Alaska—later transferred to Oregon d soon to be abandoned, we understand. Since the NRPB was chased out of Alaska there has been little constructive planning work. The report covers every phase of the plan. Most important of all, it includes estimates of fares and expenses AT T 3 s Washingion Half T Mer'y.

One would be from Prince Rupert to Juneau via Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg. The other would be Trom Auk Bay to Hgines. From Haines overland routes are open to Interior Alaska The planning agency estimates that beginning in 1946 with 50,000 passengers northbound and 49,000 southbound, these figures will have increased by 1950 to 70,000 northbound and 66,000 southbound. In the early years after the that the boats could haul about 3,000 passenger cars each way. From Auk Bay to Haines estimated fares would $4 per person and about $6 for autos. Combined fare, meals, stateroom and auto freight from Prince Rupert to Juneau is estiiated at about $80 The value of such a system to Juneau would be unimaginable. Juneau would be the transfer point and the halfway mark in the trek to Interior Alaska war it is suggested be High Octane Production (Cincinnati Enquirer) If you have been among those who have questioned the necessity of gasoline restrictions and fuel savings, consider for a moment the figures just released by Robert W. Patterson, Undersecretary of War. Mr Patterson states that the 100-octane gasoline produc- tion in this country has increased, in the last three years, from 40,000 barrels a day to the present figure of 400,000 barrels a day Here is a tribute to several sections of American life they once used. For the most part this has been done willingly enough Second, the petroleum industry | was called upon to expand and improve its produc- processes. This materialized with speed and efficiency which, in itself, is a tribute to the com- and to the ideal of free enterprise. Third, American labor played an important part in the achievement, for without the full cooperation of labor, without the skill and energy of labor, so great a program never could have been carried into effect s0 quic and so completely. It is this great 100-octane production which is making the beming offensive against Hitler's Europe possible, for a large part of this fuel is going for that purpose. How many thousands of young Amer- ican lives will be saved as a result, no one can say. ‘L‘lfa](h to impose taxes. on church| his wife.” Military leaders, however, landing offensive will do much to shatter the de- | fensive power of Hitler's armies, and that the land fighting thus will be made easier than it could have been otherwise. So when you roll into a filling station and take a few gallons instead of “filling her up” for a round of pleasure driving, just remember that the fuel you would have gotten now is going to the bombers and fighters which are swarming over Europe. This small sacrifice will be one of your contributions to a quicker, more complete vict over the Nazi and Japanese war machines. estimate that the pre- halt in Reason in stock pairs of which they with!
