fire.
The back of the Board of Trade
burned as well as a little damage
to the back of the Breakers Bar,
it is reported.
Firemen report wonderful co
operation among all the workers
and praised the women who
stood by all night with hot coffee
and sandwiches and who kept a
supply of gloves drying in the
fire department for the workers.
Dewey Goodrich is praised by the
firemen for liberal donations of
new gloves to keep hands from
freezing during the sub-zero
weather.
Other coffee shops in town kept
their crews on during the night
making coffee and sandwiches for
the workers.
While the fire was at its height
another fire alarm came from
C.A.A. house No. 4, which is oc
cupied by R. Hall, station man
ager, who woke to find his house
filled with smoke. Investigation
located the trouble to be with the
blower on his furnace and no
damage was done.
At one time during the night
when the wind shifted to the
southeast the Fire Station was in
serious danger and its windows
were boarded and the building
kept wet. Fortunately the wind
soon became northerly again.
The weary firemen answered
their third call within twelve
hours this morning shortly after
nine at a cabin on B Street, which
was occupied by the Topkoks and
where the oil had spilled and ig
nited on the floor. It was quickly
put under control.
At press time crews were still
pumping water into the North
Pole and Patterson Buildings.
The only casualty reported was
that of Dick Cornwell who was
injured from a fall off a ladder
which went down from the front
of the Patterson building when a
portion of that wall fell.
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Muncy left
today to spend the winter with
relatives in California. Mr. Muncy
plans to return after the holidays
and be with the Manson-Osberg
Co., on a project in Anchorage.
CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
Capt. C. R. McKay was wel
comed to the Chamber of Com
merce luncheon yesterday by
President Saario and invited to
take part at all of its meetings.
Capt. McKay, who is the com
mander of Marks Air Force Base
at this time stated that the radio
station is to be stepped up to a
400-watt station within the next
30 days so that it may serve all of
the outlying villages on the main
land, as well as the adjacent is
lands.
A committee was appointed to
convey a letter of appreciation to
General Kepner, who is respon
sible for this wise move in in
creasing communications in the
area.
Dewey Goodrich spoke on the
necessity of re-establishing coast
wise transportation, as movement
of coastwise freight in largequan
tities is now handicapped. Terri
torial subsidies, or mail con
tracts, or both were suggested as
a means of relieving this type of
transportation as it was done

KOREAN AIR LIFT
BACK IN FULL SWING
McChord Air Force Base, Wash.
(/P)—The Korean air lift over the
great circle route is back in full
scale operation after slackening
off briefly, officials at this air
force base disclosed yesterday.
They said Alaskan Air Com
mand headquarters also was
gearing its bases and facilities
for handling an increased number
of four-engined planes carrying
troops and cargo to Japan by way
of the Aleutian Island of Shemya.
Tempo of the mid-Pacific air
lift via Hawaii was believed being
intensified.
Winter storms make it difficult
to further increase aerial traffic
to the Orient on the northern
route.

Senator Beltz stated that an
other unofficial election was held
in the Selawick concerning reser
vations which resulted in a vote
of 25 to 22 for them. He felt cer
tain that the Alaska Native Service
would call for and set a date for
an official election as soon as
they are confident that the vote
will be the way they want it.
