Governor William A, Egan
a last week the defense De
tment plans to install 24
oir voice circuits into five
Alaska cities to flash an instan
taneous warning from the El
mendorf Air Force Base center
of possible enemy attack.
Installation of the circuits re
ently was requested by the
Governor to replace an existing
Civil Defense communications
circuit requiring some 20 min
utes to activate.
Governor Egan said he was
advised by the Office of Civil
Defense, Department of De
fense, that the circuits would
be installed between the El
mendorf combat center and
Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks,
Seward and Kodiak.
In each city, the warning
system will be installed in the
police station, jail or other fa
cility which is manned on a
round-the-clock basis.

The three-day training pro
gram was attended by repre
sentatives from Fairbanks, Ko

According to Mr. Abbott,
there has been a twenty-two
per cent increase in the ranks
of Jehovah's Witnesses in this
part of the state. There were
ten new ministers baptized
Saturday as a symbol of their
determination to put God’s
will first in their lives.
The highlight of the conven

Bible’s Answer to Our Prob

ONE
for the
MONEY
an
ONE FOR THE MONEY
Want to get more out of your dollar? We wouldn’t recommend
wringing it out . . . people are hard enough on bills these days.
But there is one good way to get more out of that shrinking
violet—the good old dollar.
USE ELECTRICITY
USE MORE ELECTRICITY
USE ELECTRICITY MORE WISELY
Electricity is your cheapest commodity. The dollar today will buy
less than one-third what it did in 1900. But that same dollar buys
more than twice as much electricity now as it did in 1913. You
gain both ways.
Today the average cost per kilowatt of electricity is the same as
it was in 1939 and yet cotton was selling for 9c per pound then, hogs
6c per pound and beef 5c per pound. Those prices have gone a long
way since then . .. but electricity has stayed the same.
Your locally owned-locally controlled co-op is doing its part, not
only to hold the line on electric power cost but to maintain a high
standard of service. Your co-op has helped you to squeeze that
dollar . . . And another way to save for yourself and your country
is to invest in Defense Bonds. To coin a phrase ... a penny saved
is a penny saved.
