TRAVEL during the wartime period was not pleasant we know. It was often dis- agreeable. Service was poor; sailings were irrégular. These are things you do not like and everyone tries to avoid. Alaskans began to-avoid steamer travel. No wonder . . . the pleasant experiences formerly enjoyed were no longer part of the ocean trip. We saw the deterioration in service as it approached. Conditions grew steadily worse. We knew the reasons and we thought we knew the answers, but were power- less to take corrective action in our reduced status as mere agents for the Government, "The war was on. We were told that other considerations could wait, and they did. Tt was not until the beginning of the interim operation last June that manage- ment and policy-making were returned to the hands of the company. A sudden return to the high type prewar service was not possible. Practices that develop over five or six years are not changed overnight. But we set our sights high and went to work. With the best service, the finest food and the maximum in consideration as our goals, we have been working quietly but consistently for many months now. At the beginning going was slow, but as time went on signs of little improvements here and little improvements there began to appear. Morale aboard ship brightened. The character of service toned up. Passengers began to talk about the fine food; they praised the excellent service. It now appears that we are really getting results. Every week more and more ‘Alaskans say kind words about the courtesy of our ship personnel, the quality of the food and the attention they receive on our steamers. Once again we feel our passenger service is on its way to becoming the Alaskan’s choice. We are deeply gratified and will continue to do our utmost to make travel on our vessels the best. .
