HeIicopters
 Based Here

Two navy helicopters arrived at MAS this week and will be used in Air Sea Rescue work.
 The planes are attached to the naval air station operations sec- ton and are piloted by Ensign Henry Buerckholtz and Lt Gg) James Price, both on their first tour of duty in Alaska.
 They are the first helicopters to be stationed at Kodiak, al. though the army has several in ether sections of Alaska. which are famed for their rescue work
 The main feature of the heli- copter. one of the pilots said. Is It's maneuverability. The planes can hover at almost no forward speed at all, and can fly up to 80 miles an hour
 For rescue work they carry 8 sling, which could be lowered, for instance, over a stranded boat, to pick up passengers to the plane. The helicopter can carry two passengers besides the pilot
 The planes are built by Sikor. ski, and are valued at about 970,00O. The navy has used chem for about two years Both Ruerckholtz and Price are quali- fed naval aviators. and both took additional special training to enable them to pilot the rotor planes.
 They arrived here early this week aboard the tender, Pine Is. land, which also has a helicopter stationed aboard it

Post Office Plans Move To kraft's Show Room

There is 8 "gery good" possi- bility that the local post office will be moved in the near future from its present location to the Kraft Chrysler Show Room on Alaska Way, Postmaster Maue rice Briggs revealed yesterday.
 Final approval of the move must come from Washington, through a postal inspector who recently visited here.
 The move would cuIminate several years of trying ta get an adequately large post office for Kodiak
 The Kraft building is now used for a hardware display and storage room, since new garage is being built for the store's automotive business
 B iggs said that if the move is made, he is hopeful of obtaining new post office equipment
 The present building has long been too small to handle the vol. ume of mail here that builds up after the arrival of a boat, and especially at Christmss time it has been almost too crowded to facilitate any distribution of packages.
 Recently, additional storage space was created back of the mail boxes by remodeling which Briggs did himself at no expence to the government.
 The Kraft Building would more than double the space for the postofice The present build ing, leased from Donnelley and Acheson, is approxlmateiy l7 by 57 feet, and the Kraft building IS 32 by 70
 We could use every inch of the additional space," Briggs said.
