Appoint Larsen
As Post Master
In Local Office

The appointment of Clarence T..
Larsen as Acting Postmaster to
succeed Charles A. Sheldon was
made public Monday on receipt
of letter from the Post Office
Department to that effect.
Sheldon, who has been post
master here for many years, will
retire as soon as the new post
master is installed in his place.
The change will take place as soon
as the postal inspector arrives,
which may not be for several
weeks.
During his many years of serv-
ice, Sheldon has seen the local
post office grow from practically
nothing to its present status as a
terminal office for the interior and
Aleutian Chain. He has seen the
beginnings of the star route to
Hope and to Cooper Landing and
the return of the mailboat service
to the Westward. He is largely re-
SpOIlSlUlS lOE Tile lllltidllOll VI luS
new star route to Homer which
will 60 into effect next summer.
At present it is reported that
a number of trucking firms have
submitted bids on this important
mail route, some of which are large
out of town firms. The Seward
Post Office is growing from year
to year and the appointment is
considered a rather important one.
Larsen, the new postmaster is
a veteran now employed by the
Alaska Railroad here. Actually the
appointment gives him the status
of acting postmaster, since all such
appointments are strictly political
and have to be made directly by
the President of the United States.
In actual practice, however, the
recommendation of the local poll
ticians are the deciding factor

Soper Purchases
Moose Pass Inn

The famous Moose Pass Inn. To-
Gated thirty miles from Seward on
Trail Lake, was purchased by H.
Martin Soper from Irene Holden
Monday. Soper announced the pur-
chase of the Inn which was later
confirmed by Irene Holden.
News of the transaction was
somewhat of a surprise, since il
had been believed that Soper in
tended to rebuild his lodge on
Kenai Lake which was des1goyel
by fire about ten days ago
In commenting on the deal
Soper said that he would continue
the business on the same princi-
Piles as he has operated in the
past. He will not operate a grocery
store, however.
Irene Holden said she had nc
immediate plans, except that she
expects to leave for Hot Springs
soon and that she would be in the
States at least for few months.

farewell party. Mr.. and Mrs. Carson

at his own expense. He stated that
when it comes to actually catching

S+udeboker Union
Mainfoins Record

SOUTH BEND, Ind, (LPA) -
A near-perfect record of never
having a labor-management dis
pute reach the strike stage was
maintained last week by Local
S, United Auto Workers-ClO,
and the Studebaker Corp.
With more than 10000 of the
5000 production worke
crowded in and around union
hall, the local decided to accept
an agreement whereby 43 men
fired for refusing to do new
work at. a new rate were rein
stated. The argument began
when, the men were put to work
on a new kind of seat cover, al
rates lower than they had pre-
Viously been paid.
Now the union officers, with
authorization to take a strike
vote at any time, will meet witt
management, including Stude'
baker President Harold S. Vance
to discuss how to revice piece
work standards in the plant.
