SENATE PASSES CIVIL
DEFENSE LEGISLATION
Legislation was passed by the
Senate and sent to the House
last week designed to minimize
Alaska’s obligations under the
present law requiring matching
funds from the states and terri
tories for organizational equip
ment, certain types of stock
piling and shelters in the federal
civil defense program.
The formula contained in the
Senate-approved legislation will
allow requirements to be varied
rather than on a strict matching
basis.

Harold Stringer, Commander
Alaska Department, American

BOND FUNERAL RITES
MONDAY
Funeral Services were held
at 3:00 p.m. in St. Peters Epis
copal Church, for Bate Bond,
Father Russell Clapp officiat
ing. Monday, May 28.
Mr. Bate Bond, who died
suddenly early Saturday morn
ing, May 26, was born Decem
ber 9, 1908 in Brownsville,
Tennessee, the only son of Mr.
and Mrs. Bate Bond Sr. He at
tended Sawney- Webb Academy
at Bell Buckle, Tennessee, and
graduated in law from Cumber
land University at Lebanon,
Tennessee in 1931.
He practised law in Browns
ville four years. Aft e r his
marriage to Miss Isabel Math
ews they moved to Clayton
New Mexico, where Mr. Bond
continued in the practise of law
until the beginning of World
War II. At that time, after hav
ing been turned down for every
branch of military service, he
joined the Merchant Marine
Service, which brought him to
the shores of Alaska. He trans
ferred to the Army Transport
Service, and passed examina
tion for Captain and Pilot's li
cense, and continued in Alaskan
waters, mostly along the Aleu
tian Islands Chain throughout
the war.
Upon the arrival of Mrs. Bond
and the children in Seward,
May 1947, the family settled in
this city. Mr. Bond, dissatisfied
with the indoor work of a law
practise, worked on the dock
for three years, and less than a
year ago joined the Longshore
man’s Union. He worked all day
Friday without visible illness,
but was struck down by coron
ary thrombosis shortly after It
a.m. Saturday morning.
Mr. Bond is survived by his
wife, Isabel, son Bate, daughter
Isabel Bly and his mother, Mrs.
Hattie R. Bond, of Clayton, N. M*
Mrs. Bond, Senior arrived by
plane Monday morning to at
tend the funeral services of her
son.
The family will leave Seward
for New Mexico and Texas,
Thursday on the Denali.
Members of the Longshore
man's Union served as pall bear
ers. Interment was in Seward
Cemetary, according to Mr.
Bond's often expressed wish
and his love of Alaska.
