Fairbanks Women
Save Fur Coats
In T wo Fires
FAIRBANKS, (VP) — The wives
fortunately saved their fur coats
as two families weer burned out
in house fires Thursday night,
while the temperature was 20 de
grees below zero.
Fire destroyed the $5,000 frame
home of Sgt. William *Pyvas, his
wife and two children. It also
razed the $10,000 log house owned
by Charles Preston, his wife and
two children.
The prestons were trapped in an
upstairs bedroom. They climbed
out on a second-story porch in
their nightclothes. Neighbors res
cued them. An electric short in
the basement was blamed for the
blaze.
The Pvvas family fled into the
icy weather after an oil furnaice
exploded.
Only personal possessions saved
in each fire were the wives’ fur
coats.

on the Arctic tundra and began
the nine-day walk which ended
j Saturday when they weer sighted
; by Lt. James Whitmer, pilot of a
! Tenth Rescue Squadron C-54.
Whitmer dropped food and cigar
ettes within 15 feet of them in the
1 snow. A note advised them he
would return for “pickup tomor
row.”
i
Uncertain ice conditions along
■ the Colleen River prevented a
j C-47 from attempting a landing at
I the spot yesterday. They were fi
nally picked up and flcrwn out in
a light plane by bush pilot Ed
Toussiant of Fort Yukon.
Stevenson said both said he and
| Andrick were fortunate in that
; they were warmly dressed. An
drick, a teacher from the Mt.
Edgecumbe school at Sitka, was
on an inspection trip of schools
in that area and had a suitcase
i full of extra clothing.
Both slept in one mummy-type
sleeping bag for nine nights.
For food, they ate 10 of the 47
j loaves of bread they were carry
; ing to Venetie.
They were armed with a .22 cal
j iber automatic pistol and a hatch
| et, but saw no game although
they found wolf tracks within 300
: feet of their camp on one occa
, siou.
For Stevenson, a veteran of 58
battle missions with the 15th Air
! Force during World War 11, the
resue was doubly timely.
He arrived home in time to
share his three-year old daughter
; Sandra’s birthday cake.
! ’
heart of Sigma Chi, Lady of
Spain, and a medley of Mother
Songs.
To balance our program sched
ule further, two additions have
been made to our Saturday morn
ing programs for the enjoyment of
the younger set. At 8 a.m. we pre
sent Let’s Pretend featuring th$
fairy tale of “Rosenella” and at 11
a.m. The Cisco Kid; upholder of
law and order in the early west.
At 5 p.m. Saturday afternoon, we
bring you the Roy Rogers Show.
