And it’s nobody’s fault in particular. The General Electric people have a refrigerator factory as big a8 all outdoors (or nearly). It’s equipped with the last word in production ma- chinery. And it’s turning out refrigerators at an amazing rate. But 80 many people want a G-E—and w?n.’t take any other make—that there are still more peoplf waiting in line than there are refrigerators coming off the line.

The {Juneau family has sited them cnce since their last trip here |three years ago. Alaska is really home to whole family. The Captain has be€n coming here since 1897. From 1516 to 1943, he operated four “E 1B |vessels on the Stikine River, the Hazel B 1, 2, 3 and 4. Then he and his brother, Sid, | chartered the Aksala (“Alaska,” spelled backward) from the White |Pass and Yukon Railway, and op- erated the vessel for two years. Their first load was 1500 miles down the river, 200 up the Tanana and 400 to Galena. In their five | trips, they took 8000 tons 'of Efl'elght, with the boat and four | barges. When the war ended, they |took the whole string up to White- | horse, picking up the junior Bar- |ringtons at Eagle. “I met Mildred Ward of Skagway at Dawson in 1913, said the cap- tain, “and it wasn't long betore she was Mrs. Barrington.” She had lived in Skagway since she was 8 | years old. P After the war the Captain bought Harbor, the Naval Air Station on Whidby Island, near Seattle. But they just have to get to Al- aska once in a while. Home, you know.
