Wal, they is at it agin. There

And here in Fairbanks the

cades agin, and grabbin ahold of
all them purty pin ball machines
what lights up so good when
you plays em.
The BUCKWHEAT PARTY
is agin grabbin pinball ma
chines. If it hadn’t been for
them grate machines, why, we
would never even be in the
space age. In fact, how could
our scientists hav invented the
digital computer like our uni
versity has, if they hadn’t
warmed up by inventin pinball
machines. x
Our whole electronic industry
will suffer now until summer
comes. And while we is on it,
where would our grate muni
tions plants be today, if someone
hadn’t first inventid the shot
gun for duck shooters?
Speakin about the warm air,
it was all over last weekend.
There was conventions an pow
wows goin on everywhere.
About the only outfit that DIN’T
hav a meet was the BUCK
WHEAT PARTY.
Up in Nome the demacrats

ALASKANS MAY GET TELEX
Alaska may soon be linked with
the rest of the world through a
brand new telecommunications sys
tem, if the plans of Western Union
Telegraph Co are carried through.
The firm plans to include Alaska
in its new Telex system, provided
a communications line can be leased
from the Alaska Communications
System and approval can be ob
tained from the Federal Communi
cations Commission.
The Telex system combines the
features of the teletype system and
the telephone. Each unit consists of

Funeral Services
In Oregon For
‘Trudy’ Clemons
Mrs. Grover Clemons, 62, who
was “Trudy” to her many friends
at the University of Alaska where
she had been employed by Univer
sal Services for the past five years,
died Friday night in St. Joseph’s
Hospital after collapsing earlier.
Mrs. Clemons who was born in
North Carolina, resided at 1321 Sec
ond Avenue with her husband,
Grover Clemons. Besides him she
is survived by two sons, Harland E.
Lewis of Fairbanks and Marquis
Lewis of Baker, Oregon.
The body of Mrs. Clemons was
shipped to Baker, Oregon, yester
day morning where funeral services
will be conducted at Beatty Funeral
Home.
According to Doug Barrette, Uni
versal Services Manager, Mis
Clemons had reported for worl
Friday night and had seemed hap
py and in good health. At about 7
p.m. she passed out in the snack
bar and the ambulance was called.
The university fire department ad
ministered oxygen until the ambu
lance came and took her to the hos
pital. She never regained conscious
ness.
Cause of death was listed as a
cerebral hemorrhage.
found in newspapers and radio sta
tions, complete with a typewriter
type keyboard, which sends and re
ceives the messages.
In addition, the Telex unit has a
dial system, similar to that of a
telephone, by which the subscriber
dials the code number of the other
subscriber, who might be anywhere
in the world. The sender then types
out his message on the keyboard.
The message is relayed to the re
ceiver in eight seconds.
The advantages of the system, ac
cording to Western Union officials,
are that it is used on a “subscrip
tion” basis, so charges are made
only for the time it is actually used;
it instantly records all messages
sent and received; and it is con
siderably faster and more eco
nomical than present telegraphed
messages.
The firm was encouraged in their
efforts after an Alaskan survey in
dicated that such a service would
be financially successful here.

Big House Contest Looms;
Senate Candidates Are Set

have tossed their hats in the ring for party nominations in the
race for the seven House seats from Election District No. 16.

Johnny Coonjohn having the distinction of being the last man
to tile. Ho is seeking one ot tne
seven nominations to the House on
the Democratic ticket.

the seven spots are R. S. McCombe
of Chicken; Buzz Brazeau, Francis
X. Wirth, Jr.. Urban E. Rahoi, Rob
ert Sheldon, Donald Pruhs. Ed Or
beck. Gray S. Tilly, Tom Colvin.

Senate Races
In the race for party nomination
to the Central District “J” at-large
Senate seat, there is no contest.
| Incumbent George B. McNabb Jr.,
i of Fairbanks, is the only Democratic
candidate, while John Butrovich Jr.,
of Fairbanks, is the solitary Re
publican candidate. The August 14th
primary then, will enable these
two to warm up against each other
for the November general election,
which will pit the Democratic
nominees against those of the Re
publican camp.
The same thing is apparently true
in the District "M” Senate contest.
Democratic candidate for the local
Senate nomination is John B. ‘'Dix
ie” Hall of Fairbanks. Incumbent
Paul Greimann Sr., of Fairbanks is
unopposed for the GOP nomination.
Filings by mail may subsequent
ly add to the list of candidates seek
ing nomination on August 14th.
Postmarks will be the determining
factor.
Additionally, it is possible for
candidates to file directly with the
Secretary of State, rather than with
the local Clerk of the Court. ,
