for a session at the Traveler’s Inn.
These men and women come from all major cities in the
Territory and from large firms in the States doing business
with Alaska. Local insurance agents have prepared an extensive
program for this newly organized group that v/ill keep members
busy while here. We extend our welcome and hope that visitors
have an enjoyable time as well as an informative one.
Welcome Back. Bus.
Wc are happy to see R. M, “Bus" Boyd back as manager of
the Northern Commercial company. We know of no one in the
N. C. company personnel who is so widely known and well pre
pared to take over the duties of the local store management.
Born and raised here, “Bus” has broadened his education and
training to include all of Alaska and the Yukon Territory and
Seattle environs. He is known all over the Territory from his
visits us superintendent and auditor of outlying stores, and has
made friends whereever he has gone.
His many friends in Fairbanks are glad that he and Mrs.
Boyd after their many years on the road and the airlines, are
beck as homing pigeons to make this their permanent residence.
Wi are confident that under his direction the local N. C. store
wiH increase in prestige and prosper in patronage.
Kansas teachers attend ng the University of Alaska work
shop this week are getting a good-sized dose of Alaska education.
Wonder how much they will remember to pass on to their pupils

Bernard “Smitty” Smith will

British Columbia while he taught
in the Fairbanks school system.
Smitty is home folks here, hav
ing been a City fireman, then go
ing to University of Alaska winters
before completing formal education
at the University of Washington.
For the past two summers he has
been with the City Assessor's of
fice. As a side line. Smitty has been
the main stay of householders in
frantic search of someone to clean
furnaces and chimneys.
Smitty, on off days, would hook
up his sootiess cleaning apparatus,
and his customers later showed
washings left on lines—nary a fleck
of soot.
The s iot was all on Smitty and in
his vast bag which would fill a
yard or cellar. Those who didn't
get aboard will bewail their luck.
Smithy is going.

New Precinct
Added To City
On recommendation from the
City Manager, the Fairbanks City
Council Monday night approved a
fourth voting precinct for the city.
The increase, although it will
boost the cost of a city election
from $500 to $800, will immeasur
ably expedite the tabulation of re
turns in the two heavily populated
precincts.
The fourth precinct is a great por
tion of West Fairbanks, formerly
included in Precinct No. 2, and the
western end of South Fairbanks,
