Fire Prevention Week
MOST or nr LOSS OF FiFF and property which this
state experiences each rear as the remit of fire could be
presented if the people of Alaska were better informed on fire
safetv precautions and took the necessarv steps to eliminate fire
hazards from their homes and places of business.
According to statistics, fire will todav strike 800 homes in our
nation.
Nome is fortunate in hasing a well trained and conscientious
Volunteer Fire Department which takes every opportunity to learn
new methods in fire fighting. Fire Prevention W eek was heralded
in with a special training course bv this group on oil and gas
fires, given through the cooperation of the Standard Oil Co.
Home owners and business houses are urged to get ready
for winter with clean stacks, a minimum of refuse around their
home. Within the home they are reminded that many fires start
from smoking and from carelessness while cooking. Most loss of
life and waste of property which occur are the result of preventable
fires.
Italy Stands Firm As Fashion Center
Italian fashions have scored again
winning bravos from buyers and the
press alike at the recent showings in
Florence by Italy's top designers.
Because Vf the great acceptance of
Italian couture, look forward this fall
and winter to seeing a revival of the
old-time "siren'’ type as portrayed by
the great femme fatales of the past.
Many of the fashions shown in
Florence hark back to Greta Garbo,
Marlene Dietrich and Bette Davis in
the days when they personified glam
our, international intrigue and the
world for the asking.
Fashion editors in the U. S. said
“Couture Thriving in Italy”. A Los
Angeles fashion editor intoned “Italian
Fashion Designers Challenge French”.
What all this means is that you
can look for a tailored mannish
look by day —Garbo in a belted suit
and wide-brimmed fedora, slinky, fe
line, siren effects by night-Jean Har
low, sinuous and desirable in “Dinner
at Eight”. Also look for brocades, and
sarong skirts, and mandarin coats.
Back are slim but supple skirts;
high, straight collars, many of them
fur; narrow .shoulders some slightly
padded; renewed interest in sleeves;
big, elaborate hats, uneven hemlines,
long skirts for evening, clinging crepes
and satins and lames.
Still in are tunics, capes, scarves,
cocoon coats, fur hats, elaborate
at-home costumes, many of them
trousered.
When it ccn... :. > -..I m all roads
lead to Italy, the hub of the haute
couture.
Here is an example of the type of
Italian fashion winning high praise
from the style-conscious world.
PojH" John
Makes an Appeal
For Christian Unity
VATICAN CITY (T — Pope
John XXIII Thursday opened the
Second Vatican Ecumenical Coun
cil -— Roman Catholicism’s great
est assembly of prelates in history
— with an appeal for Christian
unity.
Tim 80-vear-old Pontiff, in an
address before some 2,700 council
delegates in St. Peter’s Basilica,
said progress had already been
made toward unity. He spoke
specifically of a unity of prayers
and aspirations and a unity of
esteem and respect.
••Unfortunately." the Pope said,
"the entire Christian family has
not yet fully attained unity in
truth.
"The Catholic Church, therefore,
considers it her duty to work ac
tively so that there may be ful
fillvd the great mystery of that
uirty, which Jesus Christ invoked
with fervent prayer from his
heavenly father on the eve of his
sacrifice."
The Pope gave no direct indica
tion of how he thought future
unity might be achieved. But in
the past he has made clear that he
considers the way of unity is
through the return of “separated
brothers" to the Roman Catholic
fold.
From over the globe more than
2.700 cardinals, archbishops, bish
ops, patriarchs and other prelates
gathered around the Pope for this
first general church council in
nearly a century.
Tens of thousands of Romans,
priests and tourists collected in the
vast square before St. Peter’s to
watch the colorful procession that
began the spectacular five-hour
ceremony.
It was a rare show. Only 20 pre
vious Ecumenical Councils have
been held in the 2,000-year history
of the church. The last was in
1870.
I Super-Salmon . . .
SEATTLE UP — Homecoming
has begun at the University of
Washington for this year’s run
of college bred super-salmon being
developed by Dr. Lauren Donald
son, professor of fisheries.
Of the first 50 Chinooks netted
I by graduate students from holding
ponds, some of the four-vear-old
females weighed over 25 pounds.
Eggs will be taken from the fe
males and mixed with sperm from
the best males to develop more of
the hardier strain of salmon. An
estimated 0.1 per cent of ordinary
chinook fingerlings survive the
migration to sea and back. The
super-salmon show a survival rate
of one per cent, or 10 times nor
mal.
Most fish being harvested now
are three and four years old, but
some are only one and two.
“This indicates the run will be
extremely heavy next year,” Dr.
Donaldson said.

Div. Plans to Intensify
Its Work In Alaska
JUNEAU W — Hex Quinn, Chief
j of the Bureau of Indian Affairs’
Tribal Operations Division, said
Thursday it plans to intensify its
work in Alaska during the next
three or four years.
The division, long active in the
south 48. was established to help
native villages and tribes set up
their own government and. in
some instances, their own business
organizations.
Through their own government,
Quinn said, the villages or tribes
will be able to participate in fed
eral and state programs now closed
to them because of a lack of gov
ernmental organization.
“At Darter Island, for instance,
they have everything they need to
qualify for federal housing loans,
except a governmental organiza
tion." Quinn said.
Of the some 250 principal vil
lages in Alaska, Quinn said, only
08 have been organized under the
provisions of the Alaska Native
Service Act or state law, or both.
"Our primary interest is that
the villages organize,” Quinn said.
"We want to be sure they know of
the advantages of organization and
their rights once organization has
been completed.
"We don't care which way they
choose to go. ANS Act or state,
just so long as they have an ef
fective, working government."
Quinn, a veteran of 29 years
service with the BIA and six in
tribal operations work, said the
BIA hopes to have a Regional
Tribal Operations Office, eventu
i ally, in Bethel as well as Juneau,
Fairbanks and Nome.
The Tribal Operations Director
for Alaska, Roy Peratrovieh, said
recruiting is now under way for
the Fairbanks post. Arthur Nagoz
ruk Jr., of Nome was appointed
Tribal Operations assistant for
Northwest Alaska Sept. 18.

Kennedy Si«£iis
Trad(‘ Expansion
Kill Into Law
WASHINGTON UP President
Kennedy signed the trade expan
sion bill and put into the econ
omie arsenal what lie called "a
vital new weapon” for the cause
of freedom.
The bill gives the President un
precedented power to cut or eli
minate tariffs on many items and
to cooperate with the booming
Common Market in Europe.
Kennedy predicted that the leg
islation can bring “a dynamic new
era of growth.”
Together, the United States and
the Common Market represent “the
greatest aggregation of economic
power in the world.” Kennedy
said, adding that now they will
have an opportunity to work to
gether in maintaining this pre
eminence.
Administration leaders hailed
the bill as the crowning legislative
achievement of Kennedy's first
two years in the White House.
The administration was unable
to block a provision that would
restrict trade with Poland and Yu
goslavia. But otherwise. Congress
gave Kennedy almost exactly what
lie requested, plus additional au
thority to counter unjustifiable
import barriers erected by other
countries against American pro
ducts.
High school history teachers say
the name most often misspelled by
their students is Nikita Khrush
