Since there is only one nar
row road out on the Homer Spit,
everyone is asked to cooperate in
keeping the road clear for emer
gencies. Guides will he on hand to
direct the parking of cars.
In order to avoid confusion and
accidents, all persons except those

docks clear wrhen the vessel ar
rives. Visitors wdll then be taken
on the guided tour aboard the
boat.
There will be no passengers and
only the crew on board when the
Malaspina leaves Homer bound
for Seward, arriving there at 6
p.m. Sunday. Passengers on this
segment of the journey are pro

vision station or or about July 1,
1963, for the following reasons:
(a) Since the station started
telecasting on Jan. 18, 1959, the
complement of the post has de
clined to a current'strength of ap
proximately 250 military person
nel and 50 civilian employees.
(b) United States Army, Al
aska, is currently undergoing a
major reorganization which in
volves a shift of several hundred
personnel to higher priority com
bat spaces. This has necessitated
a reduction in manpower assign
ments in non tactical areas, such
as television, in order to increase
tactical troop strength and effec
tiveness.
(c) Two commercial stations
now serve the Kenai area. These
stations, KTVA (Channel 11) and
KENI (Channel 2) in Anchorage,
relay their broadcasts to transla
tor stations in Kenai, and provide
viewers in that area with CBS,
NBC and ABC programing.”
The United States Army, Al
aska, recognizes the contributions
that the Wildwood television sta
tion has made in providing enter
tainment and information to the
service personnel on the post and
in the concomitant services ren
dered to the civilian community,
Brig. Gen. Boye said.
Careful consideration was given
to all factors in evaluating the
feasibility of retaining the sta
tion, Boye added. It has been de
termined, however, that based on
the Army’s requirement to in
crease tactical effectiveness in Al
aska from current manpower re
sources, and because of availabili
ty of commercial television from
two stations in the area, the
Wildwood television station
should be deactivated.
