ABOARD THE U.S.S. MISSOURI
off North Korea, Oct. 12—(/P>—A
United Nations naval task group
led by the mighty Mo bombarded
and set fire to the far northern
Red Korean port of Chongjin to

SCOUT EXECUTIVE
RETURNS FROM 3
WEEK INTERIOR TRIP
—
Maurice Powers, Boy Scout execu
tive of Alaska, returned Wednesday
from a stay of nearly three weeks
at Fairbanks and short visits to Ko
diak and Anchorage.
While at Fairbanks, Powers an
nounced appointment by the Boy
Scout executive board of Duane A.
Force, the new field executive for
that area of the Alaska Cpuncil.
Force and his wife and baby daugh
ter reside at College, where Mrs.
Force is attending the University of
Alaska. He replaces Russell Apple,
stationed at Fairbanks for three
years and now assistant executive of
the Honolulu Council in Hawaii.
Also during his stay at Fairbanks,
Powers helped organize and con
duct the annual finance campaigns
at Ladd A.F.B., Eielson A.F.B., and
Big Delta. Response to the annual
campaigns for funds is good.
Powers said, with the military in
stallations exceeding their results
of last year and enthusiasm for
scouting in the Interior continuing
at a high level.
Following his stay at Fairbanks,
Powers made a quick trip to Kodiak
where he consulted with Navy men
interested in Alaska scouting and
checked on the progress of scout
work there. At Anchorage, Powers
conferred with field executive
Eugene Butler and several members
of the Alaska Council’s executive
board.
Anchorage troops are helping ob
serve Fire Prevention Week by
camping on the City Hall lawn,
Powers said. Scout units in and
around Anchorage have continued
their regular meetings despite the
polio scare, although all cub, boy
scout, and explorer meetings at
Fairbanks were cancelled during
the epidemic there.
In between planes at Fairbanks,
the scout executive introduced
deputy regional executive J. H.
Browne of Portland, Oregon, to key
Fairbanks personnel. Browne stayed
at Fairbanks to assist with the hold
ing of a scout leaders training
course and will come to Juneau to
day, weather permitting, Powers re
ported.

ACA, ELLIS HAVE
NEW TICKET SYSTEM
INSTITUTED TODAY
Starting today, Alaska Coastal
j Airlines and Ellis Air Lines, Ket
• chikan, provide complete inter
change of tickets on the Juneau
Ketchikan route over which both
carriers operate.
This arrangement, approved re
cently, makes it possible for a pas
senger to travel over any segment
of this route with either carrier
| without additional .cost, giving the
traveler full benefit of the compli
mentary schedules offered. Hereto
fore, passengers could travel with
each carrier on different segments
of this route only by paying the
appropriate point-to-point fares.
A saving is instituted under the
present system since the total pre
viously exceeded the present through
fare with stop-over privileges now
offered by each carrier individually.
The same ticket inter-change ar
rangement applies to travel over the
Sitka-Ketchikan route operated
weekly by each carrier.
A 10 percent “open jaw” dis
count will be extended to passage
over any combination of Alaska
Coastal Airlines and Ellis Air Lines
individual routes.
