NAVY SETS UP SHIPPING CONTROL HERE
Capt. Burke To Stay As Army Port Comdr.

Two officers and three enlist ed men arrived in Seward Mon- day to set up permanent Naval Control of Shipping Office. The extent and nature of their work was not revealed, but it is un- derstood that this office will ex- ercise control over all shipping in this port.
 This work has been carried on temporarily under the Army Port Commander, Captain John H. Burke, who will remain as Army Port Commander.
 This first group will be aug mented by another officer and one or two more enlisted men in the near future. They are all members of the Naval Reserve who have been recalled to duty. Most of them come from homes on the East Coast and they are all seeing Alaska for the first time.
 It. Glenn H. Easton, Jr., USNR, is Acting Commander-in- Charge of the NSC Office. His home is Beverly, New Jersey. It. Stanley F. Junemann, USNR, comes from Queens, NY.
 Thomas J. Lindsay, Haddon- field, N.J.; James H. Paul, Phila- delphia, and Walker M. Gull bault, Los Angeles, are the three enlisted men who excited the interest of toWnspeople today, Navy uniforms being rarely seen on Seward streets except on spe- cial occasions
 The three enlisted men have settled in the Housing Area, where they will batch for a while. They are slightly appre- hensive of an Alaskan winter and wondering about the cost of heating, but are game to try their own housekeeping. The of- ficers plan to bring their wives and become a part of Seward so- cial activities.

kenui Scenic Bus Lines Offers Daily Service To School Children

Carol Gage, owner of Kenai Scenic Bus Lines, will attend the meeting of Seward P-TA to- morrow night to offer bus serv- ice to school children.
 His plan is to issue a monthly ticket for two rides per day at 10 cents each for all children within the city limits. The II children at the Sanatorium will also receive bus service at 1912 cents per ride, or 25 cents a day.
 This cost compares favorably with any city bus service in the States. Anchorage children pay 25 cents per day, but Gage in- tends to make pick-ups of Sew ard children right at the homes rather than at street corners if the police department will per init his stopping in the middle of a block.
 In order to start the service it will be necessary to have a minimum of 20 children every day, he said.
 Gage stated that he intends to concentrate on bus service, both in town and on the Penin- sula, by disposing of his taxi and airline e business. He is leaving soon for the States to pick up three more busses to put into service in the spring. After his return, and if the school bus proves popular, he will start regular passenger service in the city.
 Last winter MT. Gage hauled children to school free of charge in severe weather. The new service will not interrupt the regular Territorial School Bus line from Mile 8, but will be an added service.
