 bureau standing by his jeep, we yelled goodbye, which brought puzzled look to his face.
 The evening sun and the green hills and billowy clouds made the ride through the military reservation very enjoyable. It was our first visit to it in a year 1 and we were startled to notice that some of the buildings are ] once Sgain painted white as in pre-war days.
 There at the hanger waiting for us was the Alaska Airlines plane, the big Starliner Juneau, on it's first trip to Kodiak. It had been here earlier in the day, and then flew to Bethel from where it took 21 fishermen to Naknek and then returned here.
 After all the drab war-painted planes we have been seeing the Starliner was beautiful to behold, with it's shining exterior set off with a red and blue band run ming the length of the fuselage setting off a painted Alaska Air lines monogram.
 Ray introduced us to the pilot and then we clamoreJ aboard. Inside it looks like a GreyhounG bus, with ' seats on the right and IA on the left. We took a gander into the pilots office CD where the maze of equipment and dials confronted us, began chatting with some of the other occu- pants, and decided we would sit on the left back far enough to see under the wing. Then we heard the pilot asking if the pressure was up, which must have meant something reassuIing because when he found out it was he said be was ready to take off.
 The door was slammed shut, some servicemen scurried around removing blocks from under the landing gear wheels, the motor started with roar and in a brief minute the plane taxied around the corner of the hangar and headed down runway. In an other brief moment it left the ground, gIinting Tn the sunlight as it headed over the town of Kodiak.
 We saw it plainly as we head ed back to town in the taxi where Ray dropped us by the drug store as we thanked him for taking us out to see the plane.

Bluffton Residents May Get
Thru Until Spring Without
Hardship or Suffering
Brownout of Town Probably to
Continue Here Thru spring
and Summer

Sufficient coal is coming into
Bluffton to meet the immediate de-
mand, and barring unseasonably cold
weather for the rest of the winter
the town is expected to get thru un.
til spring without any suffering OF
hardship.
Altho coal supplies have not been
normal at any time for nearly two
months, there have been no cases in
which any local residents have been
out of fuel.
Warmer weather is expected to
greatly ease the demand for coal
thru March, but restrictions on coal
deliveries are so tight that a normal
stock likely will not be built up in
Bluffton yards until next summer.
Dimout of Buttons street, store
window and display lighting in
augurated on February l as a fuel
conservation measure will continue
indefinitely, it was indicated this
week, when an Office of War Utili-
ties spokesman in Washington said
the measure would remain in force
thruout the summer and as long as a
coal shortage exists.
At the same time there were in
dications that additional restrictions
in services of the municipal light
plant likely will be put into effect
soon by the Board of Public Affairs,
to further conserve the use of coal
by the plant.
Bluffton public schools, short of
coal the early part of last week,
received 10 tons of fuel later in the
week which will permit them to oper-
ate until the first of next week,
Supt. Ralph Lanham said.
