Boyd Harwood Reports To Chamber On Alaska Visitors Assn. Meeting

At the noon luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce reports were heard from delegates who attended the All-Alaska Chamber meeting in Anchorage last week.
 Boyd Harwood, who attended the Alaska Visitors Assn. meet ings, stated that the meeting was most effective in bringing the townspeople together with their problems in regard to tourists. He urged that people should not write off tourist trade by boat as a thing of the past, but should keep urg- ing that boat service be resumed, as this is an important link in the tourist industry.
 He believes that the AVA has grown this past year and is better able 10 understand all of Alaska and is needs as well as it's poten- tial tourist attractions, and that the AVA will be in a better posi- ton than ever before to promote this industry. Travel agencies are also better informed and can do their share more effectively.
 The unions ill Anchorage are urging their Waitresses, clerks and other employees who meet the public to alert themselves and be able to answer questions inteli- gently concerning the Anchorage area. They are also directed to be generous and cheerful with their information, as tourism depends on everybody
 HarWood also attended a phar- macist meeting in Ketchikan, where recommendations were drawn up to be submitted to the legislature to modernize the phar- macy laws as set up in 1913 to include new drugs and their dis tribution.
 Dewey Goodrich also reported on two phases of the meetings which were reported last week in the Nugget.

BOWLING ALLEYS SAFE

An unusual accident threaten ed damage to Stewards only bowling alleys Monday night, but they escaped damage, ac- cording to Gordon Black, owner of Dreamland Bowl.
 A City League game had just finished when two loud explo- sions shook the building. Those present thought at first that it was an earthquake. Running to the basement, however, it was discovered that the entire north wall of the basement had col lapsed in two pieces, causing the explosive sound and trembling the building.
 Quick work in placing timbers and jacks under the wall, which incidentally, is also under the bowling alleys, saved the alleys from distortion. Cause of the ac- cident is not known, but it is thought that frost boil might have formed under the wall.

General John c. Moves, Alas ka National Guard, was the guest of Seward Chamber of Com merce Tuesday.

 Ray O'Hara was asked to con suit with Gen. Moves on the pos sibility of having this building in Seward. Specifications for an armory here would call for 12,000 square feet of floor space, to include a kitchen, rest rooms, office space, storage space and a large drill floor.
 The building would be made available (When not in use by the GuarO for community use. Cost of construction is shared by the US. Government, the Terri tory and the city in which it is built.

DOCK APPROPRIATION GRANTED

The entire amount, $2,900, ,O00, asked for completion of Seward dock facilities was granted yes terday (Thursday) by the House Appropriations Committee. This means that work will begin this season on construction of the project.
 The Alaska Railroad appropri- ation was cut to $7,494, ,000, which represents a reduction of $41a million from the entire amount requested for rehabilita- ton of the Portage-Seward line and the Seward dock. The House report still must be acted upon by the Senate, and there is a possibility that the $4k million might be restored to the budget. There is little danger, however, that any further cuts will be made.
 In speaking of the appropria- lion. Frank E. Kalbaugh said. Since the committee included the request for $2.900.o00 for completion of Seward dock. the project will proceed as sched- uled.
 However. the deletion of $4N million from our budget will re- quire the deletion of certain fa- cilities planned for Seward. Ii is too early 10 determine which of these facilities will be deleted. but complete re-studY of our plans will have to be made by the engineering division"
 A number of engineering inn provements slated for this year will have to be postponed if this $412 million cut is not restored by the Senate. They will prob ably include refining of tunnels; construction of roadway build ings; raising of grade and line changes to reduce curvature in grades.
 The drastic cut made by the House Appropriations Commit tee was a part of the cut made in President Eisenhower's bud get, and part of general cut of $15 million in the Interior De partment budget. The House committee recommended cut of $2,940,000 from the request for Alaska Road Commission construction. projects.
 Total Office of Territories ap- propriations was set at $25, ,978,- All for all territories, compared with a request for $40,924,000 Appropriation for the present fiscal year was 43,236,300.

Anchorage C. of C. Endorses Rehub.

Anchorage Chamber of. Com merce has not changed its stand in support of Alaska Railroad rehabilitation and Seward dock facilities. This statement was made by A. G. Hiebert, this week in a letter addressed to Win Erwin, president Seward Chamber of Commerce.
 He refers to a resolution from the Seward Chamber last year and a letter to the Anchorage Chamber asking endorsement of the resolution in support of the rehabilitation program.
 It was officially moved by Jack Anderson and seconded by Ed Dimock that we support this request Mir. Hiebert writes. The motion was passed by the Board. This action was taken at the February 27, 1853 meeting of our Board of Directors
 At a meeting of the Board held March p, the Board had asked MT. Hiebert to inform the Chamber of Commerce and the people of Seward, that their position has not changed. It is extremely unfortunate the let ter continues, that recent un- founded publicity has disturbed the normal friendly relations between our two communities.
