Alaska Changes
In Year of War
| Territory Was Practically
Undefended When Dutch
Harbor Was Raided.
FAIRBANKS.—The food is better,
the mosquitoes seem more impor-
tant and war is very far away from
the towns of Alaska now, Much far-
ther away than it was a year ago.
To understand what 19 months of
war have done it is necessary to|
remember constantly that this was,
before the war began, part of the
United States. The residents resent-
ed frequent queries by tourists as
to whether foreign stamps were nec-
essary on mail. The towns—Fair-
banks, Anchorage, Seward, even
Nome—prided themselves on being |
very much like towns in Kansas or
Connecticut, despite the great dis-/
tances and fierce weather. |
The white residents—some 35,000
in all the territory—had their Ro-
‘tary clubs, their local politics, their
clean-up campaigns. They renamed
many of the more colorfully titled |
localities — from something like
Deadhorse to something like Jones- |
ville; peaks with Russian names
were retitled to honor local business |
men.
Army Moves In. |
To this civic-minded group the |
opening of war was more startling |
than to the rest of the nation. The |
territory was virtually undefended. |
Civilian activities came to a dead
‘stop while the army moved in.
Nothing was ready for this enor-|
mous influx. No barracks, no roads, |
food was short—so was cold-weather
clothing. There was nothing for the
men to do in their spare time.
Prices skyrocketed, houses be-|
came impossible to rent, restaurants |
served long lines of customers while |
the workers quit in droves for bet-|
During a visit of railroad officials fo inspect the Pittsburgh Steel
Company’s new railroad axle plant at Allenport, Pa., Elaine Robins
and Thelma Wanko, company employes, illustrated the 260 pound
difference in weight between the new, lighter weight, tubular axle
and the older solid steel type. The two type axles suspended from a
| beam form a scale, and the girls, seated on the tubular axle, bring
the scale into perfect balance. The new tubular axles represent one
of the few major changes in railroad chassis construction in recent
years, and, in addition to the saving in war needed steel, they offer
greater strength, longer wear and increased safety.

The attack on Dutch Harbor in|
June, 1942, brought it all to a head.
Anchorage prepared for attack.
Nome citizens took to the hills in
expectation of bombing and shelling |
from the recently thawed sea.
Tension Is Eased.
No tragedy occurred. The Japs
in the Aleutians had no more effect
on the mainland of Alaska than they
did on Salem, Ore. They were, as
a matter of fact, almost as far away.
So for the last year, soldiers and
civilians alike have been arranging
to live more or less comfortably.
For the soldier life in Alaska is
never too easy. But in Anchorage
today four theaters bring him
movies. Whereas a year. ago most |
of the garrison was in tents, today |
they are occupied only by casuals | . . .
en route somewhere else. Everybody In This Locality Reads The Bulletin
ous building has expanded the num-
‘ber of places a soldier can go for
‘entertainment, whether he wants to
roller-skate or drink at a bar.
On the surface, the war seems all
over for most of Alaska, except as
a supply line for the still-embattled
Aleutians. Actually, this is not quite
itrue. The military object in devel-
oping Alaska, was not solely a de-
fense measure, Its importance as a
‘way station on lines of communica- :
tion to Russia and on projected near-
‘Polar lines to much of the other side
of the world was recognized years
ago by military leaders.
Sailors Who Lost Pants
In Sinking to Be Repaid
WASHINGTON: —1It took an act of
congress, but two sailors are going
ito get paid for pants they lost when ' §
‘the destroyer Hugh L. Scott sank
off North Africa last November.
President Roosevelt's signature
has made it the law of the land that
Robert Donald Leighton, water tend-
er, first class, shall be reimbursed
$268.50, and Libero Querio, machin-
ist’s mate, first class, shall receive
$193.75, for pants and other articles
of clothing now at the bottom of the
sea.
The navy department asked con-
gress to disregard a technicality
that would have required those two
trouserless sailors to be out of pock-
et for the money they spent on their
uniforms,
Owl Settles in Heart of
Flatbush; Snubs Dodgers
NEW YORK.—In the heart of
anything) a wise old owl sits in the
branches of a maple tree and sim-
ply does not give a hoot—not even
for the Dodgers.
The owl has been living in the
tree—right in the heart of the city—
for nearly three months, a center
of curiosity for passers-by.
The tree is not far from a large
Brooklyn park, but the owl spurns
the comparative safety of the park’s
bird house, fully agreeable appar-
ently to spend the rest of his life in
the tree.
