FIRE DESTROYS MUCH OF
WATCH REPAIR EQUIPMENT
The fire department was called
out yesterday at noon to Jack
Lencer’s watch repair shop.
According to Mr. Lencer, the
watch cleaning fluid exploded in
one of the containers kept for that
purpose and quickly spread to
two other containers which were
part of the cleaning equipment of
his shop.
About twenty of the watches
in the shop for repairs which were
hanging on the repair board, were
damaged by the heat, according
to Mr. Lencer. These watches,
many of which belonged to people
in the outlying districts will be
taken with him next Sunday to
the States where he will complete
the repairs and return them to the
owners by way of the Nome Drug
Store, who will be handling the
watch repair this winter. He stat
ed there will be no extra charge
on the watches.
Mr. Lencer stated that the loss
he sustained was over five hun
dred dollars and was not covered
by insurance, as he let the insur
ance lapse last month due to the
fact that he was leaving soon for
the States.
Xorvin Lewis, of the Volunteer
Fire Dept., was in charge of the
fire department during the ab

Are At It Again
SITKA (jT*)—Sitka seethed with
speculation last week over four
reports of flying saucers.
There have been isolated re
ports for the past year of strange
objects in the sky. But Wednesday
night five different people told of
seeing what they believed was a
large disc.

At 10 p.m., that night James
William, Jr., and two other boys
reported seeing the disc pass over
their home. They said a haze fol
lowed the object.
The same night in a different
part of town Mrs. A. P. Franklin,
wife of the fire chief, said she
saw an object agreeing with the
boys* description, disappearing
toward the Sisters Mountains two
miles east of here.
Mrs. A. P. Johnson of Mt. Edge
cumbe said she saw a “ball of
fire” falling toward Sitka at
about the same time. Last Mon-!
day, Charles Post said he saw an
oblong object over Cross Moun
tain, five miles south of here.

Guard Starts
Drive To Enlist
200,000 Men
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The Na
tional Guard has announced a na
tion-wide campaign to recruit
200,000 young men in its ground
and air units in the present fiscal
year, which will end next June
30.
Men aged 18 to 35, inclusive,
will be recruited by Guard units
in all the states and territories.
Recruits will be required to per
form weekly drills of two hours
each, plus 15 days’ summer train
ing, as long as their units remain
under state or territorial control.
For this they will receive as much
pay a year as regular army and
air force men get for full-time
duty.
An army spokesman said men
of draft age who join the Guard
before receiving induction orders
will not be drafted. But he added
that recruits will have no guaran
tee against their units being call
ed into federal service.
The recruiting campaign is in
tended to build the strength of
the National Guard up to author
ized ceilings — 350,000 ground
troops and 50,000 airmen.
