P. O. Installs
Signal Lights
Certainly unique in Alaska, and
perhaps in the world, is a system
of signal lights installed at the
local post office this week that
will let pedestrians and motorists
know if the plane is in and the
mail is distributed without anyone
having to question the clerks or
peek through the boxes.
The lights are atop the electric
pole located across the side street
from the post office right by the
Belmrnt bar, and can be seen the
full length of Main street <md out
Mission road to the Russian
church.
“The signals may be confusing
at first,” William Lamme, acting
postmaster, said, “but if our post
office patrons will take a little
time to familiarize themselves
with them I am sure they will
find the light a great conven
ience.”
“Here is the way the lights
work. When the airmail is receiv
ed at the post office the green
light will go on. As soon as the
mail is all worked the red light
will be lit. It Will be the red light,
which is the topmost light that
can be seen the greatest distance,
which indicates all the mail is iii
the boxes.
“If a plane should cancel, of be
late, the fact of course will be in
dicated by no light being bn. Re
member the slogan, “No light, no
flight.”
After the mail is all out in the
morning the red light will be lift
on until 1 p.m. and will then be
turned off so the cycle can be re
peated for the afternoon plane.
Patrons of the old post office
may recall the signal light box lo
cated in the lobby which was the
idea of Maurice L. Briggs, former
postmaster, now retired. The new
signals were also his idea and he
intended to have them in opera
tion before he left the office May
1 but materials problems prevent
ed it.
‘The installation was made at
no cost to the government,” Act
ing Postmaster explained, “and 1
wish to thank those who made it
possible: Manager Leon Johnson
KEA, and his crew for installation
of lights on the pole and wires to
the building; Les Andrews, of
Hansen Electric Co., for bis dona
tion of labor for part of the out
side wiring and the excellent in
side installation; and Robert Ach
eson, building co-owuier for his
cooperation in the project.”
