Emergency Lighting Flaming Completed For Local Airheld

A special meeting was called for last Friday evening tc talk over the interim lighting problem at the Seward Airport until such time as a permanent lighting sys- tenn is installed.
 The action came in the wake of several recent night landings when local fiiers had to depend on auto mobiles from Seward to provide landing lights for after dark land ings. In one recent case a local flier, Al Tofflemier, was seriously injured and lay trapped in his plane for several hours before he was discovered. He had tried to make dusk landing without the benefit of lights and his plane crashed due to the poor visibility.
 As a result of the Friday evening meeting, it was decided to leave the future lighting up to a special lighting crew, and the Volunteer Fire Department which would, on call, place flares along the land ing strip to guide night landings.
 Persons who hear planes circling town should call the Police De- partment and the Volunteers will be alerted.
 The general public is thanked for their interest and assistance in the past, but in the future, is asked to keep away from the field and off the road to the field so that firemen and the Seward Volunteer Ambulance Corps will have clear road in time of these emergencies.
 The lighting problem for the local field will be solved, it is hop ed, at the next session of the Legislature when that body will be asked to provide additional funds for the Territorial Department of 1 Aviation.

Kenai Electric Service Mapped at Meeting

A meeting of the Board of Di rectors of the Kenai Lake Electric Association was held in the Se- ward City Council Chembers last week on Saturday evening at S:00 o'clock.
 Business of the session included the acceptance of the resignation of Mrs. Lucille Witherup, former ly Secretary-Treasurer of the As sociation. Mrs. Witherup had to resign because she is suffering from polio and cannot continue with her duties. The loss of her services will be keenly felt by the Board and the Association. MT. Alex Bolam was elected to take over the duties of Secretary-Treas- urer.
 The main item of business for the session was the consideration of various findings and conclusions of a revised Engineering study of the proposed Kenai Lake Electric System. The system as envision- ed by the Coop would embrace system of transmission and dis tribution lines running from Se- ward to Mile 57, Henton's Lodge, on the Sterling Highway. Funds for the construction of the lines are being applied for through the Rural Electrification Admfnistra- tion.
 The original application for funds was made about a year ago however due to the rapid develop ment of the area, it has been nee essary to gather additional mater ial and amend the original appli- cation reflecting the increased ser vice that will be provided when the line is constructed.
 The revised application and en- gineering survey was made by Robert Retherford, certified REA Engineer. It is anticipated that the revised application is final and approval will be forthcoming short ly from the Washington, DC. of flee of the REA. Upon approval of the loan application it is hoped that actual construction will start next spring.
 In addition to the regular mem bers of the Association, MT. Ben Wallace. Field Engineer of the Ter ritory of Alaska, was present and explained the engineering details involved in the revised application. MT. Wallace has recently moved to Alaska. taking over the offices of Clark Johnson. Field Engineer, and Stewart Hamilton, REA Loan Specialist. MT. Wallace was for merly employed in the Wyoming REA District.

Senior Class Play Set For Two Day Run

The Senior Class play Nine Girls, has been progressing very we'll during the past few weeks and is just about ready for the first per formance before an audience.
 The girls practice diligently on week nights for hours at a time. Let's drop in on one of these prac- tices.
 The curtain opens. and we see Ava Doyle, Jane, dancing around in circles. She accidently bumps the table and the legs collapse. Eve Van Dine, Janice Frampton, rushes onto the stage screaming, "Gads! What happened?" Her line was supposed to be, Jane, come and help me with the roast, will you?"
 Suddenly a body, belonging to Hazel Brosow, Frieda, comes crawl ing in. She's crawling so no one will see her, as she isn't supposed to be on stage yet, but poor "Haz" gets so tired of waiting.
 A car approaches and .Cindy Coleman appears dragging her two charges behind her on rope, who are Audney Horton and Patsy Will Hams. Cindy is very sophisticated and wears 3-inch heels. As she steps over the suitcase which the pleges sat in front of her, she trips and one of her heels breaks off. Cindy goes into one of her tantrums and runs home.
 This is Janis Jeffrey's cue, and she darts onto the stage yelling, Hi everybody" She is supposed to trip over the suitcase which Cindy tripped over, but she missed it, and instead fell fiat on her face Poor Janis!
 Last but by no means least, Amy Rutledge, the quiet type, dashes onto the stage screaming Keep her away from mel" Murlene Trevethan, Mary, follows her close ly, saying her two lines, Lose something?" Her only mistake was she was chasing the wrong person.
 Pete and Tucker are both so mixed up they start reading their announcer's parts, and Jeani e sounds police siren.
 Our ever patient director, Mrs. Grace Camper, has all this time, been tearing her hair. She finally runs from the gym screaming, q give up!" Miss McGrath, her as- sistant, looks over the play cast and mournfully shakes her head.
 Seriously though, everyone in the play and on the committees have been working very hard.
 You all know the time, date, and place, so support the Senior Class Play and make our efforts worth while by attending. December 3rd, or 4th, won't you? ??

Kalbaugh Says Whittier Favored For Seatrain Service

In report to the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce this week, it was reported from Anchorage that Alaska Railroad Manag ger Frank Kalbaugh told the group definite plans for Alaskan Seatrain service are in the making.
 Kalbaugh said that the plan, now under study by the Department of the Interior, may decide on Whit tier as it's Alaskan terminus. In that case, stevedoring and other port services at Seward will suffer.
 If seatrain service is inaugurated with either Whittier or Seward as the terminal port-earlier plans for a three-berth dock and ware house facilities at Seward would die.
 The last Congress appropriated $4,400.000 for this project but mo- thing has been done about it pend ing the outcome of the seatrain proposal.
 we wouldn't want to build big dock and not have it used" Kalbaugh said.
 However, the railroad manager noted that the present Seward dock is in such dilapidated condition that something must be done abont it. He indicated a one-berth dock for regular ocean going vessels would probably be built, but there would be no need for elaborate warehouse facilities.
 If and when a seatrain contract is awarded it is also possible the firm itself would construct it's own seatrain dock. Two of the four in- terested firms have indicated they would like to build their own docks rather than have the government furnish this facility, Kalbaugh said.
 kalbaugh also described a new ly announced feature of the sea- train proposal-a so-called piggy back service" which would provide for the railroad to haul truck vans at lower costs to shipping con- panies.
 The railroad official said that truck trailers would be put on fiat cars carried by seatrains and un- loaded at Seward, if that terminal is selected. or carried by train to a destination farther on according to the wishes of trucking outfits. ."''
 Kalbaugh brought out these points:
 The Alaska terminus has not yet been selected.
 Anchorage would not be the ter minus because an all-year-round port facility would be needed.
 Seatrains would arrive every four or five days.
 Tide would have no effect on seatrain unloading-and unloading would be either by roll on, roll off. or by lift on, lift off methods, with the first method believed favored at the present time.
 It has been estimated it would take five to six hours to unload and reload vessel carrying 100 railroad cars, an improvem t over present service which re- quires five to six days.
 Three operators have signified they are interested in providing seatrain service.
 In the meantime Seward Cham Der of Commerce members are working to try and get the railroad
Seward seaport record., 1954-11-26

Manager to come to Seward and
 inform the local Chamber as to what plans the railroad is making for the new dock construction and other problems connected with the Seatrain proposal.

Treatment Center Phone Assured,
 Chamber Is Told

~41GA4A31SA 40 O1N
 Tom Bilyeu of the City Recrea- tion Commission was a speaker before the Chamber on Tuesday and urged more adult participation in the activities of the Recreation Commission.
 At present Bilyeu told the group that they had just staged two very successful dances and were plan ming another for this Saturday evening. The revenue from the sale of admissions to the dances will go toward providing equip ment for other activities of the Commission, including such things as skiing, skating, weight lifting, boxing, wrestling and any other sports or activities in which in terest is shown.
 The first weight lifting exhibi- tion is being worked up now and if perfected, a show will be given this week on Saturday evening at intermission time at the dance. The dance will follow the basket ball game at the Civic Center. TELEPHONE
 In response to the wire sent to the Commander of AC.S. at An chorage, asking for a telephone line to the Polio Center at the San, Chamber President Win Erwin reported that word had been received that two part line was going to be provided by the ACS, but there was some problem about getting qualified help to install the line.
 The two telephones to be install led at the San. would be for use of Mrs. Jim Aylen, Physical Ther- apist, who is treating local polio victims and the second line would be for Civil Defense use. ELECTION
 A committee to bring in nomin- ations for Officers and Board of Directors of the Chamber was nam ed by the President and they are to report back at the next meeting. The committee named consists of the following: Tommie Bic, Dorothy Tyner, Merle Trevethan, Jack White and Phil Durant. Nominations will also be accept. ed from the floor at next weeks meeting and it is hoped that a good representation of the Cham. Der will be on hand then.
 CHRISTMAS FUND
 Ar appeal for a donation to the Community Christmas Fund was presented, but the Chamber de | clined to make donation on the grounds that it was contrary to their policy of not donating to any charity. However, the individual members kicked in when the hat was passed and several dollar were collected.
 PORT PROBLEMS
 There was some discussion of the local unemployment problem and it was decided to ask the Army if they would care to make use of the local port especially during the winter when things are very slack in Seward.
 Also in line with the problems of Seward. it was reported that an invitation had been extended to the General Manager of the Al aska Railroad to come to Seward and discuss the plans of the Rail road for future use of the Port ot Seward in the light of potential Seatrain service. (See story else where in this issue). MT. Kal baugh had promised that he would advise the Chamber when he would be here.
 STATEHOOD
 John McAnerney reported that he had received several pamphlets and books on the Statehood pro position, in a special kit compiled by the University of Alaska. He extended an invitation to all local people to avail themselves of this opportunity to make detailed study of the Statehood question.
