Light Plant for Canyon Town
By William N. Hilliard
CANYON VILLAGE (Special) —
Canyon Village is fast on the way
to becoming a modern city. We now
have electricity in the school. There
are two outside lights which give
the children a longer “day" in
which to play. Everyone has been
by the school to hear the phono
graph, and I wouldn't be surprised
if we have a dance before too long.
Sam Herbert of Shuman House
visited in the village for several
weeks. He came by the school sev
eral times to visit with us. Every
one enjoyed his stay very much,
and he promised to return soon. We
are all looking forward to his re
turn.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiv
ing. There was a potlach made up of
white man's grub, that is turkey
and even ice cream.
There was quite a bit of excite
ment last weekend around here. Mr.
Gregory from the BIA came in Fri
day to install the power plant and
wire the building. On Saturday Cliff
Fajrchild came in, and when he
started to take off had mechanical
trouble with his plane. The new
power plant was not running yet,
eo we fought with the old one to
work the radio. We finally got
through to Circle that night. The
next day a plane came up and
picked up Cliff. Sunday Rev. Trel
ease came up from Ft. Yukon and
spent the night. We enjoyed having
them all. They were wonderful
company.

CHRISTMAS FOR CHILDREN—Whether the little angel and the shepherd are wearing mukluks in the
Arctic, patent leather shoes in the Temperate Zones, or going barefoot in the Tropics. Christmas is
still Christmas to children the world over. It celebrates the birth of a baby, our Lord; and tor this
reason alone it is an important day for children, who are in, or close to babyhood. So to all children
everywhere, the Tundra Times wishes you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS. We extend the same wishes to
grownups too, but with an added thought: “Let’s see what we can do between this Christmas and next
to make this world a better place for the children to grow up in.’’ —(This drawing borrowed from
Alaska’s Health and Welfare Magazine, published by the Dept, of Health and Welfare.)
PLANNING CENTENNIAL—A “red-hot” Fairbanks committee is meeting regularly making plans to
bring the main 1907 Alaska Centennial exhibit to Fairbanks, the most centrally located city in the state.
Pioneer activities, and a look at Alaska’s natives will be the main attractions of the exhibit, celebrating
100 years since the U.S. bought Alaska from Russia. Shown going over a map of IMoneer Park, where
the exhibit would he located, are from left, Mrs. Mel Harris, Jim Cassady and Bill Waugaman, members
of the Fairbanks Committee. Location of the highly sought for state exhibit center will be decided in the
future. —Tundra Times Photo
Letter for Radio Course
Editor's note: Following is an
other in a growing list of replies to
a Tundra Times article a month ago
telling of a proposal to start a HAM
radio course, over commercial radio
stations, for persons living in Alas
ka's remote areas. The course will
be sponsored by members of the
Arctic Amateur Radio Club of Fair
banks.
Gambell, Alaska
Dear Sir:
I have read the article about Alas- !
kan villages interested in radio j
amateurs. I like to take this oppor- |
tunity for I have been very inter
ested on radio amateur since I was
a boy.
I have learned the Morse code and
can receive good. I didn't get far
enough to learn the other require
ments because of lack of education.
If I can be one to be selected for
getting a course I will be very glad,
and will try to qualify.
Sincerely Yours,
Willis Wallunga

To a man we’ve all learned to I

day to meet our President, John F
Kennedy.
