Alaska Not Jittery Over War In Pacific
Hallie Rice of Juneau toured Frederick with host Carroll H. Hendrickson Jr and said Alaska is serious yet calm about WWII. He argued Alaskan boys are fitter for service and the territory is more air minded due to climate and distances. He noted Kiska and Dutch Harbor proximity and described plane travel as common for locals. He warned outsiders find Alaska hard to acclimate to and face high living costs. He observed rationing and wear on vehicles, stressing the territory remains a rugged man’s country with limited crews and girls.
