Heaviest Ocean Traffic
Since Before War
Promised Port of Seward

A schedule of at least seven pas
senger ships a month into Seward,
plus frequent freighter service, will
give southwestern Alaska the
heaviest steamship schedule of the
past decade.
This was the prediction last
week of H. N Peterson, general
traffic agent for the Alaska Steam
ship Company, on swing through
the Territory in the interests of his
company
He said for the first time since
before the war the Alaska Line
was advocating tourist trips to in
terror Alaska and that the tourist
business should be the heaviest
ever known.
Alaska received very black eye
as tourist mecca just before and
just after the war when there were
insufficient hotel accommodations
Travellers were purposely discour-
aged from coming north until some
guarantee could be made that they
would have rooms in the various
towns.
The situation is somewhat allevi-
ated now, he said.
The Alaska Steamship Company
will operate II vessels this year
three passenger ships and eight
freighters.
Heaviest "Since Kennecott Days"
Speaking before the Anchorage
Rotary Club last Thursday, he de-
scribed the service as the heaviest
"since Kennecott days At that
time, he explained, the Kennecott
mine near Cordova was furnishing
a back-haul in copper ore and the
Alaska Steamship Company was
able to operate fast, frequent serv-
ice because it was not necessary
to load ships to capacity for the
nOrthbound trip.
Freight prospects Are excellent
for the coming season and the
tourist and passenger travel will
demand more frequent service.
However, the company has only
three passenger ships for the sew
ice as compared to 10 in pre-War
days, he said Faced with the ne
cessity of speeding service, the
plan is to cut waiting time at Sc
attic by reducing freight loads to
about one-half per loading at Sc
attic
In other words, Mr. Peterson eX-
planned, instead of q vessel waiting
for a full load of 1000 tons, it will
sail north with 1000 tons, enabling
it to make a quicker turn-around.

tween the Seward Light and Pow

basketball team that, due to
change of railroad schedule, the
| Kodiak team will not arrive in
Seward until the evening of Fri
day, Feb. II, and that the team
must return to Anchorage the fol-
lowing morning. This means that
Seward High and Kodiak High
will play only one game, which
will be held Friday, Feb. II.

N avy Smoker
Planned for
Shiips' Visit

Some sharp bouts are being
lined up for the Navy Smoker,
with about ten leather pushers all
ready working out with gloves and
punching bags in the old USO
gym.
The bouts will consist of three
rounds of two minutes each with
ounce gloves. Heading the program
will be Murl Trevethan and Paul
Wangly, both old time profession
ais.
The third man in the ring will
be Harold Maxwell, who had 300
fights as an amateur before turn
ing pro for an additional 200 fights.
Maxwell has said that he doesn't
even remember a great many of
his fights.
Among the would be contestants
are three army boys who have to
come to the gym for workouts at
what ever time they come Off
duty. Some of the other boys have
had golden gloves or other anna
teur experience.
1t is hoped that it will be pos
sible to arrange bout or two be-
tween members of the Navy ships
crews while they are visiting here
That, of course, will be entirely
up to the navy boys.
PlcYtine Program
A program has been tentatively
/ arranged for the use of the USO
! building for recreational purposes
with pre-school children having
the use of its facilities between the
i hours of two and four in the after

! mitted to skate or make other use

Mrs. Meta Dean, supervisor of the
Bluffton college dining service who
has been doing this job at Ropp
Hall for quite number of years.
"I'm not going to dinner tonight.
They're having meatloaf again. is
an occasional student comment.
However, Much more goes into the
management of the dining hall than
many students realize stated Mrs.
Dean, in a recent interview. To
the student, preparing and serving
the food appears to be the primary
problem, but in reality, this is the
easiest part of the job. Making the
cost of operation fit the budget,
planning healthful, appetizing meals,
supervising labor, efficiently organic
ing small details to fit the whole
plan-all these and many others
enter into efficient management.

meal. 35 gallons of milk are used
a day and go dozen eggs week ac-
cording to Mrs. Dean. Contrary to
popular belief, the cost of board has
not risen proportionately with the
cost of operation of the dining hall.
The cost of operation has risen ap-
proximately 15eo to 200 since 1910.
The price of some items, such as
eggs, changes periodically. In the
last few months the price of fresh
vegetables, oranges, and other citrus
fruits has jumped almost one-third
as the result of the recent cold spell
in California which curtailed the
available supply of these items.
Besides the cost of food, other
costs such as labor, gas, light, re-
pair, etc. must all come out of the
board bill paid by each student.
Last year the dining hall served
200 people, an all-time high. At the
beginning of this year, 220 were
being served, but this number has
since dropped to the approximate
level of last year.
