Cl visitors to and through the ship. Support personnel will be engaged at the regular duties and unrestricted visiting would be haz- ardOus.
 The expected arrival of Alaska s Governor, Ernest Gruening. today from Washington. D. C., will set the stage for colorful pageantry tomorrow. as the Chief Executive of the Territory exchanges formal visits with the senior officer of the naval force-topped by 17-gun salute, honoring the governor.
 Ashore, meanwhile, Juneau will be doing it's own job of spit and polish preparatory to the influx of hundreds of navy men, fresh from months Of isolation on rolling, sea-swept decks and hungry for land and the homely offerings of civilization.
 Because of lack of exact knowl- edge as to the Navy's plans, few events are being scheduled before Thursday as entertainment for the city's blue-clad guests. A square dance at the USO will highlight events set for tomorrow night. The American Legion and Auxiliary will hold open house at the Dugout each afternoon and evening during Fleet Week.
 Frcm Thursday on, however, at least one dance each evening is planned for the balance of the week-two if arrangements can be completed. On the evening of Navy Day, Saturday, Oct. 27, the Elks Hall will be the scene of the biggest dance of Fleet Week here, i as the Elks Lodge throws open it's doors to the enlisted personnel of the three ships. That same evening, officers are invited to the Scottish Rite Temple, where plans for a Masonic dinner dance have been altered to provide open house to ships officers for dancing follow ing the dinner.
 It is expected that private dinner parties, with Navy men as guests in the homes of Channel residents will precede both affairs.
 For daytime activities, sightsee- ing and hikes are expected to in- terest the visitors most. Arrange ments are expected to be con- pleted with the Forest Service to provide guides for those who wish to give their sea-legs workout on trails in and around Juneau-With uneScorted noun tain climbing jaunts being definitely on the un- approved list because of the treach- orous nature of Mt. Juneau and surrounding peaks during this season.
 The AWVS information booth in the Baranof Hotel lobby is to be the point of contact for hikers and guides, as well as for those sailors wishing to go glacier tripping and of residents who have cars and time they can make free to do the honors of the Glacier and other worth while highway sights. Il
 Mrs. Ernest Parsons, in charge of registering and soliciting private cars and drivers to furnish sight seeing transportation for the Navy, today reported very poor response. There is a big transportation job to Le done, and anyone with car who can squeeze out few minutes to spare is asked to call Mrs. Parsons at Red 635. Some commercial trans portation and Army cars are expect ed to te available, but more seats and the personal touch are both needed.
 Roller skating and other sports are to be highlighted. Superintend- ent of Schools A. B. Phillips has cleared the High School Gym for fleet use throughout the week and Barney Anderson is to confer with ships officers on a sports program. Anyone with skates is asked to see that they are in shape and made available for sailor addicts of the roller rink sport.
 To see that every one of the sail CTS who wishes to make a long-dis- tance phone call home has oppor- tunity to do so, it is suggested that former ACS radio telephone opera tors may be drafted from present jobs to keep the phones working.
 Sunday is expected to be turned over to the churches entirely, with each church being responsible for seeing that the members of its de- nomination have a good time. It is suggested that nothing is likely to make a greater hit with that seaman who may worship alongside a resi- dent churchgoer than a spontaneous invitation home to Sunday dinner.
 For that matter Juneau with it's limited commercial entertainment facilities and despite cooperative dances, square dances and what all, must be willing to open up its homes if the visitors are to remember this City as they should.
