INSTALLS 3 NEW STATIONS Three radio telephone stations have been installed in three South- east Alaska communities recently by the Territorial Department ot Commurications. Installation of the three stations | brought the total number of De- partment of Communications sta- tions to 65 for all of Alaska. The Phanhandle’s share of the total is |27 stations. The new stations are as Klawak, | Cape Pole, and Angoon. They were installed by the com- munications department after mem- | bers of the communities and com- [ munity officials had submitted signed petitions requesting them. A 100-watt station was installed at Klawak. It is operated by Frang Peratrovich, candidiate for re-elec- tion as a Territorial Senator and member of the KlaWak city council. It maintains a daily schedule with the Alaska Communications Sys- tem station in Ketchikan and with airlines and local fishing boats. At Cape Pole on the northwest end of Prince of Wales Island a 25- watt station has been installed. It is operated by L. W. Lieurance, postmaster at Cape Pole. Maintain- ling a daily schedule with Point Baker and local boats, it is equipped with facilities for operating on five frequencies and can communicate with airlines and private radiotele- phone stations. The new 100-watt station at An- fgoon is in Trail Store and is ope- rated by Larry Jackson. It handles commercial and aviation traftic for THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA the community, William E. Hixson, supervisor of the department of communications has also announced that 25-watt stations at Port Alexander, Bell Is- land, Hydaburg, Kake and Point Baker have all been replaced with more powerful 100-watt sets. “These stations are the only means of rapid communication for the people of the communities,” he said. “All Territorial radio stations provide facilities for making long distance calls to points in Alaska and the states.” The Alaska Department of Com- munications is under the Alaska Aeronautics and Communications Commission. It installs, licenses, and main- tains the stations which it provided for permanent communities. But the community must provide a place for the station and an operator, ac- cording to .Hixson. The communications department is operating on an appropriation ot $21,305 per year, Hixson stated. This takes care of all salaries, of- fice expenses, purchase of new equipment and parts, and trans- portation costs.
