Keep ’Em Flying — bring in your old aluminum! 40 YEARS AGO “The salmon run is slow in coming,” wrote Ted Klin- kenberg of Nyssa from his Al askan home in Chignik, ’’but the first eruption of Aniakchak Volcano in 125 years has ec lipsed the talk about weather and salmon.” The crater is about 50 miles north of Chignik. Since May 1, the volcano has been sending forth considerable steam and light ash. The crater is about 21 miles in circumference and is said to be the world’s larg est active volcano. Chignik is excited about An iakchak and its exploration by Father Bernard Hubbard. Hub bard made the first flight over the crater the 12th, the letter from Alaska said. Hubbard found the flight extremely dan gerous. The suction of hot air toward the hot crater pulled the plane downward and only a sudden dive away from the gassious mouth saved the ship from plunging into the hole. Hubbard reported that sever al huge eagles attacked the plane while sailing over some crags. The propeller wash turned them over but screaming they came back for more until out-distanced. A great brown bear also stood up, with claws raised above his head, furious at the air intru ders. After Klinkenberg’s letter arrived in Nyssa, a press dis patch stated that Hubbard and his party were journeying to the crater afoot. Klinkenberg, his wife and two baby sons have lived in Chignik several years. Ted is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Klinkenberg of Nyssa. The Rt. Rev. Dr. William B.
