After refueling and servicing they proceed by either of two routes to Fairbanks, Alaska, where Russian pilots take over. One air route follows the Alaskan military highway. There are numerous landing fields along the road where stops are made. The other route goes almost parallel, about 250 miles to the east, along the Mackenzie river. ^f^HE Northwest Staging I Rol-*2, a chain of airports from L-.dmonton, Alberta, to Fairbanks, Alaska, is Canada’s huge wartime airway expansion project. Canada built the route, offered it for use by the U. S. government, and will pay the U. S. more than $39,000,000 for installations and extensions put up by the United States. American ferry pilots have brought more than 5,000 American built planes over this route to Fair banks, Alaska, where Russian pilots take over, flying the craft across the Bering sea to bases in Siberia, and on to Europe. Canada pioneered the air route across the Canadian northwest when “bush pilots,” -operating flimsy planes, began operating in the area in the 1920s. The Canadian depart ment of transport made a survey of routes to the Yukon in 1935, when the present route was chosen. When- war broke out in 1939, work on the route was hurried, and when the United States entered the conflict in 1941, Canada was able to offer free use of the airways to Alaska, removed from the Pacific coast and I UHxat to Do \ • • » By PHYLLIS BELMONT j Versatile furniture is ideal for the bride who doesn’t know where she will be living.

Construction and enlarging of air ports, building of barracks and oth erwise improving facilities, was car ried on by Canada until the summer of 1943, during which time the Alas ka highway was completed.

First planes flown over the route to Russia passed through in Sep tember, 1942, and a week later many of these planes were in action against the Germans at Stalingrad. During the first months of 1944, more than 2,200 American planes winged their way over this chain of air ways which opens the Northwest to air and land travel. Built as mili tary necessity, after the war it will be a vital link in the world chain of air routes.

However, e’er we judgment pass Upon these men of now. Amid the din and sounding brass, Amid the raucous row— We’d rather wait until the strife And bickerings have ceased; Until the pettiness that’s rife Has lightened been, and eased. We’d rather wait until the dawn Of calmer, clearer day, Until the smoke of battle’s gone And vanished quite away. Then in the clear perspective brought By reason’s calm embrace We’ll see them in the way we ought. Accord them proper place. We’U see them in their role as men Far from the furious fray.
