RANDOM RAMBUNGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
Scnool is scheduled to start the
20th of September: There will be
no school lunch program for this
semester. It is hoped to have the
hot lunch program starting after
Xmas vacation. The walls of the
mew school are being erected but
as yet there is no roof on it. A
new concrete sidewalk has been
built in front of the school which
should meet with the approval
of the hopscotch and marble
.players.
Mr. C. L- Cadwallader has left
for Seattle. He will visit there !
and in Oregon before going to
.Arizona where he will spend the
winter.
Brownie Scouts will start regu
lar meetings again on Wednesday,
Sept. 22, 3:30 at the Library. Mrs.
Martin Olson is the new Leader
for the troop.
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Woody and
daughter Cheryl, have returned
from Texas to take up residence
in the Ray Bergman's town house.
Both will teach in the school again
this year.
A birthday party was held
jointly for Bob and Lee Albu at
the home of their mother, Mrs.
Lucas. Lee was ten on the day of
the party and his brother Bob
was eleven the following day.
Alaska Line Plans
Increased Freighters
A new, increased-capacity, car
.go-vessel schedule beginning Sep
tember 28 was announced this
■week by W. J. Manahan, gener- I
.al traffic manager of the Alaska
^Steamship Company.
The new service, providing reg- j
ula: frequent sailings for South- j
■eastern and Southwestern Al- |
■aska, becomes effective follow- I
.ing the steamer Denali’s sailing j
September 24 — the last in the !
•company’s historic passenger ser
'vice.
Under the new schedule there
'will be two sailings each week
:for Southwestern Alaska—depar
tures each Tuesday and Friday—
a sailing each Friday for South
•eastern Alaska and an additional
vessel every three weeks that will
call at Kodiak Island.
"T'jvc Knot-type and four Lib
erty ships, new in the company
.fleet, will be employed to main
tain this service,’’ Manahan said.
This does no* allow for the use
of the steamers Baranof and Den
.aii urder freighter license. 'That j
involves a number of conversion •
;problems including actual physi
cal alterations and manning,’’
Manahan explained. “’Until those
rare satisfactorily worked out, it
'would be impossible to operate
these ships as freighters,” he said. •
According to earlier announce
ment, the Alaska Line’s passenger
.service will terminate October 6,
'when the steamer Denali returns
to Seattle from her last voyage.
With both the Baranof and Den
ali laid up there is no possibility
•of offering even limited passen
ger service to Alaska as none of
the cargo ships have accomoda
tions for passengers, it was ex
plained.
The guests enjoyed an afternoon
of games followed by refresh
ments.
The Lines are working hard
on their new house in order to
get it done before winter sets in.
The house warming should lake
place sometime during October—
or was it November?
Note to Readers of this col
umn; at the time you read this,
I hope to be in sunny California
with the other half—as this
means both E. Hjellens will be
gone and there is no one else in
the family with the initial E., the
column will not appear the fol- I
lowing week.
