CHAMBER OF COMMERCE !

Three of the candidates for city election responded to the invita- ton of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss city problems yester- day noon at a specially prepared luncheon. It was a disappointment to this active civic group to have only three out of eleven attend the meeting, although several had legitimate excuses.
 Those attending were Mrs. Joe Hunt and Lester Bronson, candi- dates for mayor, who responded capably on their views of what s"ould be done. Carrie McLain, City Clerk, presented pertinent facts relating to the outstanding budget program.
 A. Polet, Dewey Goodrich and Arvo Saario talked on phases of preparedness in relation to the tourist season which will start soon.

sSS. Victoria to Sail On Seward Run

In what is scheduled to be hel earliest sailing in five years, the famed .81-year-old Alaska Steam ship Company steamer Victoria is to be commissioned Monday, Mar 26, for March 30 trip to Seward Alaska, H. N. Peterson, company general traffic manager, said today.
 ''The Vic is being taken out of layup to handle a special cargo development to the Alaska Rail belt, beyond the capacity of our regularly scheduled vessels" Pet erson pointed out. ''Of the several ships in our reserve fleet ready to meet unusual traffic demands, the Vic is particularly well-suited for the type of packaged cargo that has developed this week"
 Captain Ben Aspen, who just returned with Mrs. Aspen from an Alaskan vacation cruise on the steamer Baranof, will command the Vic this voyage, which will mark the beginning of another season in the colorful historical career of this vessel.
 Built for the Cunard Line in 1870 and launched as the Parthia, the Vic helped make Alaska gold rush history and was familiar sight to sourdoughs of that era. It was not uncommon then for her to handle as much as two million dollars in gold per trip from the Seward Peninsula.
 For years the Victoria was the first to reach Nome after the ice breakup in the Boring Sea and the last to leave before navigation closed in the fall.

 After weeks of restling with problems involved, the Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) has com pleted two retail food orders and one wholesale food order.
 The. changeover will give the American public some price roll backs and. some price increases within the next few weeks-and Price Director Michael V. Disalle has predicted that the rollbacks will outnumber the increases.

Requirements. Raised fol
 Comm. of Education

3 JUNEAU, (R)-Gov. Gruening yesterday signed bill, amending the law governing the qualified tions required of a commissioner of education.
 At the same time, he disclosed receipt of many letters and tele- grams opposing the measure. The contention of those opposing the measure was that it lowered the standards required of a commits Sioner.
 In signing the bill, however, the governor declared that the act actually raises the require mentS. He said that under the new act commissioner must have broad administrative experience, a sound and workable educational philosophy and high academic attainment.
 From such persons under con- sideration, he added, suitable selection can be made under re- quirements of the act.
 During the coming biennium the commissioner will have $1O million available for educational purposes.

The Travellers Notebook
Borgoin Season to
Europe Here Again
By Jacques FutreIIe
The Stor's Irovel Editor

The bargain season on trans
portation to Europe has rolled
around again.
Steamships plying the North
Atlantic cut rates in all classes
for eastbound travel on August
"a, and the advent of September
this week brings into effect the
first of three steps in the trans
Atlantic reduction of air fares.
Off-season prices on liners be-
tween New York and European
ports are based on complicated
set of formulas that takes into
account the type of ship as well
as the class of travel-flrst. cabin
and tourist-and the location of
the staterooms. Extensive details
from rate sheets of each line
would be necessary to give a COM
lplett picture. But here are some
clues:
On the best of the Cunarders,
the cut now in effect eastbound in
tourist class is fiat SIS. The more
Expensive the accommodations,
the greater the dollar reductions
become. Cabin-class cuts range,
roughly, from $40 to $40. In
first class, the cuts extend into
three-digit figures. For instance,
the price tag on a suite for two
on the Britannia is $500 cheaper
in the off season. That's the one.
way saving.
Air, Sea Dates Differ-Both air.
line and steamship companies
make distinction between east
bound and westbound off-season
rates, although dates differ to
some extent. Reductions on
liners eastbound will continue
Through April 80. WeStbound fare
cuts begin October Is and are
scheduled to remain in effect into
Imid-July. That's the present de-
termination, although there is
talk of lengthening the cut-rate
season.
While steamship companies
grant reductions for each direc-
ton, the airlines present their
off season economy fares in a.
Slightly different way. No reduc-
tions are effective unless the
round-trip is made by air,
although different lines may be
used.
The reduction effective Satur-
day applies only to eastbound
flights, however, because the west
bound off-season does not begin
until December /. To illustrate:
Flying from New York to London
today, and returning before De-
cember l, the air passenger would
pay the full high-season rate of
$675. Flying over on the Septem-
Der reduction and returning before
tDecember !, he would pay $585.
When both reductions are effec-
tive. he would pay $500.
For the last several years air.
lines also have offered a special
reduced fare in the form of a Is
day excursion. This began jan
uary / and continued through
March 30. AS yet the airlines
have not decided whether to Of

CORSERV AVIATION
 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

The Palmer Soil Conservation subdistrict directors held their monthly meeting at the Soil Con- Servation Service office Tuesday night. Robert Webb and Leonard Kygger were installed as new members of the board. The first order of business after canvassing the ballot and verifying the cleo tion of the new members was a revision of the annual work plan of the subdistrict.
 The district is charged by terri torial law with the responsibility of providing assistance to farm CTS of the district in conservation methods. The board really went to work mostly on me I think. They said prevention of wind erosion was of first importance in the Valley. Other conservation practices such as crop rotations, grass and pasture management, drainage, irrigation and fertilizers are fine, but what good were they if the wind blows away your farm evry time you blow it up? Bluntly was told "to get out among'em" and see that a few good demonstrations of wind breaks and wind strip cropping were established in the Valley.
 There is no fooling about it. wind erosion is serious It is the one thing that can permanently ruin agriculture in the Matanuska

Hess's woodpile, at Ninth and Cushman," O'Shea reminisced. All of us ran like Indians and ended up at our house for a piece of cake. We lived in the house now occupied by John B. Dixie" Hall.
 The Fairbanks Public School was a big wooden building in those days and when every boy and girl was in attendance, we could barely count 15O heads" he continued.
 Ben Eielson was high school basketball coach when Howard Romig and I were in school. Eiel- son taught science subjects before he went into flying" O'Shea said. Ira FarnsWorth was World War l aviation mechanic and when Elelson decided to become an avi- ator, FarnsWorth helped Ben as- semble his first Jenny. We kids were fascinated by this airplane and hung around the field all the time"
 The biggest event in the mem ory of young O'Shea was Presi- dent Harding's visit to Fairbanks.
 I'm sure the president thought Fairbanks had more than it's share of youngsters" the Alumni proxy recalled. Practically every kid in town went through the line four or five times to shake hands with the president. I remember Herbert Hoover, wearing his very high collar, standing alongside of Harding and grinning broadly when he saw us kids doubling back through the hand d-shaking line.
 O'Shea's first visit to the Uni versity was to see the cornerstone

were graduated together in 1889. Daughter Mary Jane was born in St. Joseph's hospital like her fa- ther before her.
 While living in Fairbanks and more recently in Anchorage, O'Shea has been prominent in alumni circles. He was the logical man to head the newly-formed Territorial Alumni Association.
 T want to compliment the members of the Board of Regents for the progressive steps they are taking to bring the University of Alaska to the people," O'Shea said.
 "The authorization of adult ed ucational programs in Alaskan cities, the approval of junior col lege courses for university credit and the establishment of graduate degrees for summer school on the campus, tremendous steps toward making the University of Alaska a truly territory-wide school of higher learning.
 "These steps will receive the heartiest cooperation from the alumni" O'Shea concluded.

laid, on July 4, 1915, when the Hon. James J. Wickersham, then delegate to Congress from Alaska, made the address for the occasion.
 Wickersham predicted an illus trious future for the farthest- north College of Agriculture and School of Mines.
 It was logical for O'Shea to enroll in the university, since he was born in Fairbanks and re- ceived his grammar and high school education there. He en- tered in 1883 and was a three year basketball player. He was on the same transforming trips as Regent William O'Neill.
 O'Shea was president of the student body, editor of the Denali yearbook and engaged in many other activities. Upon graduation in 1889 with a B.S. in general science and major in chemistry, O'Shea started the "F. E. rou- tine"
 In those days the Fairbanks Exploration Company was the de- pendable source of employment for top-level students and O'Shea acted successively as assayer, gold cleanup foreman and foreman in charge of gold-recovery experi- mental work.
 He worked for the F. E. Com pany from 1929 to January 1, l943. With the wry smile of a good Irishman, O'Shea said, Dur ing these years Roy Earling was quite helpful in making the F. E.. a paying operation"
 In January, 1943, O'Shea donned the two-piece suit presented to him by Uncle Sam and until Japan quit, he was stationed at Fort Richardson.
 His first job after the var was as chief coal sampler and analyst for The Alaska Railroad, a posi- tion he held until 1948 when he accepted the appointment of ter ritorial assayer in charge of the Anchorage office of the Alaska Department of Mines.
 O'Shea is decidedly in favor of co-educational institutions. Be sides the fine education I got at the University of Alaska, I also got a very fine wife" he said.
 Florence Walker, daughter of the late Norman Walker of Ketchikan, became Mrs. John O'Shea on Thanksgiving Eve in 1888 at St. Joseph's Chapel. They
