children's Christmas party. In
stead of entertaining—the young
sters will be entertained—from
two to four in the afternoon in
the Community Hall. Altho this
party is for children only—the
adults may participate by plac
ing funds in the donation jars
placed around town. All children
from all outlying areas (this in
cludes you, too, Big Lake) are
invited. Santa will have treatsi
for all youngsters.
Bill Jefford is at Cold Bay
working for the C. A. A. as a pipe

Vaughn Wilson just finished a
ten-day furlough. Think he'll be

Lake.
Mr. and Mrs. Don Smith re
turned to Fairbanks after a visit
with the Joe Dixon's. Don is an
independent paint contractor in
the Northern city.

eight men working, now.

Irving Reed, Territorial high- !
way engineer, this week announc- j
ed that the Alaska Road Com
mission has permitted a tempor
ary change in the Vehicle Load
ing Chart of Sept. 15, 1953, ef
fective December 1, 1954 to
March 15, 1955 as follows:
The driving axle or axles of all
trucks will be permitted an in
creased load of one ton for sing
le drivel's and two tons for tan
dems; resulting in a load of 20,- j
000 pounds for the singles and
36,000 pounds for the tandems
No changes will be allowed in
the gross allowable vehicle load.
It is felt, Reed said, that this
change will increase traction and '
aid in the maneuverability of the |
trucking equipment on frozen sun- I
face.’.
It’s the Mighty Mite
of chain saws
Model 17 Chain Saw
No other saw so light... so easy
to handle . . . packs as much
power. Enough power to zip
through an 18 inch tree in 18
seconds. Enough power to cut
trees 4 feet or more in diameter
and to stand up with- : costly
maintenance under steady pro
duction cutting. Try it . . . this
mighty mite of chain saws ... the
new Homelite Model 17, today.
