Fish and Wildlife office in Juneau, and a resident of Alaska for the past 147 years said this morning he felt 'as though he had “been talking consecutively for the past month.” i Returned this week from a 25-day ivisit in Chicago, his first trip out- side in 28 years, O'Connor has been |kept busy explaining to Alaskan |friends his reaction to the Great |Outside World. In Chicago, he was constantly asked questions about the climate, the people, the animals, and the postwar possibilities of Alaska i Hot In, Chicago “It was fine in Chicago,” he said. But very hot. The temperature s 80 in the shade when I arrived end the weather remained good throughout my visit. I kept hop- ‘good weather season’ and from the locks of things here I guess I'll get my share of Alaska sunshine this year. It's all right to go outsid2 occasionally,” he said with a smile, “like once every 28 years, but the best part is coming back.” Busy Mr. O'Connor has been up a lot of things” since arriving back in his office. Last night he remained in the office until 10 o'clock and as a result the Pan American Airways clerk this morn- ing wheeled out $20,000 worth of beaver furs, checked and sealed, for the Seattle market. In Chicago Mr. O'Connor had a rcom “a nice one”* on ‘the 38th floor of the Morrison Hotel, the 1world's tallest holstelry. Entertainea During his visit in that cit O'Connor was entertained by hi ,/friend George Petty, famous “Petty | }Girl" artist.
