sp aE eR BPO RE me ee ae *. ee i HTL ESLLLEG idee The -OBSERVATION POST Y BILL LEE _—Aapaveeneeeneneneggry nents sates? - Picture if you can. an_ island of wrecked ships with a popula- ' tion evacuated a few times each “year by hurricanes and the rest of the time broiled on a sandy,|_ treeless spit, and you have the average Alaskan’s mental picture oi Key West. Summed up, such a picture Was given Frank Adams, USO director here, when he was in Alaska a few short years ago. And then, you can picture what the average Key Wester believes about Alaska. “I seems that those folks who aré*most ready with an opinion . about another location are the ones whe read the wrong books or is it the wrong places,” said | - Adams ‘this week. “The average Key Wester believes Seward’s ‘Ice. box’ is-a territory of barren | ' snow lands.” : Then Adams explains what ' {Alaska is really like. He says “that if Alaska were placed on | the United States it would reach almost from our East to West coast. It is, he adds, three countries in one — Southeast Alaska, Aleutian Islands and the North ‘country. | “Seutheastern Alaska has very mild climate”, said Adams. “Infact, it is so mild that while Miami recorded a lot of 32 de- guees this last winter, Ketchikan, Alaska,:in the same period held an even 40. spells, ‘the temperature is not un- beavable. I have wandered | ‘arognd this country in a light topweeat in perfect comfort. | “@ortrary to an article that ap- peared recently in The Citizen, Anchorage and not Juneau is the gest Alaskan city. Anchorage th: 12,000, persons is about twice the size of Juneau. ysilm many ways it is lke Key | West, at one time this city han- dled the production of the fertile Matanuska Valley. Now that function ‘is handled from the new and beautiful town of Palm- er. The present chief occupation | of Anchorage is the Army at Fort | Richardson. “Fairbanks which has | little of the,natural beauty | makes Anchorage a good bid to; becoming America’s northern- most tourist city. Four and one- | half to five days by boat from} Seattle through the most beauti- ful waterways in the world and a rail trip over the mountains trom Seward shouic make An- chorage, Just as in the ease of See rae A Ae Key West, a natural. “Per-capita, Alaskans possess | more modern conveniences of | living than any other group of | people. There are more auto- | mobiles per mile of road than any other place in the world. Folks are 100 per cent air- minded. Even the old prospec- tor flies to and from his claim each year. “During the resent war it was | the chosen spot with no ratior- ing of any kind and few short- ages. US clubs used to have signs reading ‘Coffee, First Cup 5c, Additional Cups Free’. Gaso- line is 9 cents a gallon less than it is in Key West. “There are’a few exceptions. but the cost of living varies from $25 to $50 a month higher than it is in the states. You can livé 6ff the land: as the Indians: and Eskimes do. The streets are | not paved with gold but there are still plenty of places wnere, with a little technique, you can earn} $1 an hour panning it.” Adams had much more to say, | but he added that when he ¢re- | turns to Alaska he will spread ; ihe word of Key West as it is, not a the people dream it to| be. — * Have you seen any white- crowned pigeons lately- Well, if you have you might find a way to get around the migra- | tery Bird act and send a pair | of the birds to Kenneth Har- | mon, Quincy, Fla. Kenneth wrote the Chamber of | Commerce here asking if any of the pigeons had been seen_ in} Key West recently. Harétad Laubscher, manager of the Chamber, replied that he had. He told the boy that the pigeons migrate along the keys as certain seasons of the year, propagate and then fly back to their «native habitats, Cuba and | the West Indies. “We could send him a pair of | the pigeons, but we can’t because | they are wild birds and subject | to the provisions of the migra- | tory bird act”, said Laubscher. | + * * | Key West got some good pub- | licity, all of it free, because an | Associated Press man came down | here to look into the Mudd! story over at Dry Tortugas “ni nifissed the boat. “vWith 24 hours to kill, the AP | man, Wilbur Jennings, looked * * | | ‘Vacuum cleaners Almost new Karen pressure cook- ' SOT Chae . mcm cel ee SR TT, TE Brea Citizen which published Mr. Jen- niig’s story Wednesday, July 16. around for a story.
